I love watching his matches, but I never want to hear him on commentary again.

Just reiterating what everyone has said a million times. WWE has a table on a whiteboard somewhere that says Heel | Face and just lists a bunch of names, and whoever is on the heel side is the bad guy no matter what he does and whoever is on the face side is the good guy no matter what he does.
Doesn't matter what the perception is, or who is cheered or booed during a match. If WWE says a guy is a heel, he's a goddamn heel, fuck you.

It was a popular sentiment when he lost clean twice in a row.
I don't know why though losses barely mean anything to guys like Roman.

Maffew spotted this last night too
It's the name of Carl's Jr locations on the Least Coast.
It's the name of a fast food chain where you massively overpay for very mediocre food.
I'd put Hardees/Carl's Jr below McDonalds, BK, Arby's, Culvers, and Wendy's all day every day.
Hey, there's none in Connecticut!

I eagerly await whatever excuse Eva Marie uses tonight to get out of a match.

Sheamus vs Cesaro had the best match last week (of course with the way last weeks Raw was, they didn't have to try much) and the two generally put good matches on with the other. So I don't mind this necessarily. I hope it leads to some fun matches.
Also Sheamus' snapping at the audience when they said he looked stupid by shutting them up by pointing out they paid to see him was great.

PS Vue has worked out well.
You can use your PS Vue log in to watch live on the USA now app. I'm sure you can do that with whatever provider you choose as well.
Just nice I don't have to do a contract.

As someone else said in that reddit thread, this feels like a really big stretch to make something out of nothing. I think people are just looking for any damn thing to bring this guy down at this point.
There was a brief moment in the night where a 'lets go roman' chant almost started and it was drowned out by a USA chant.
Vue doesn't really cover the NFL at all plus the jump from internet only to internet + cable was actually cheaper than Vue (for the first year). So I figured what the hell.

It's always weird to hear such loud chants but then seeing a largely apathetic looking crowd. Maybe they just turned up the crowd mics in a specific area.
Reddit sourcing 4chan lol.

#iwanttobelieve
that's true.
You might get Monday Night Football and Sunday Night Football but all local games will be blocked. Ps Vue here in Houston has all the local channels, but when the Texans game started...they weren't showing it.
No matter. I just used my over the air antenna.
I mostly have Vue now for Olympics. Don't know if I will keep it.

Raw is waaay tooo long, even fast forwarding through it mostly I got tired and thought I'd reached the end when Seth called out the demon king that is not Kane, only to find out there was another hour of this stuff and that it included a whole Summerslam match.
It's too much.
Also why was Heath Slater the best part of the show? how come the jobber lady cut a more natural promo than most of the roster including the male side? why do we have to endure Sheamus/Cesaro potentially 7 more times in succession?
WWE is truly a product now where watching the PPVs only is almost certainly the best way to follow it concerning Raw and Smackdown at least, the filler factor has shot through the roof.

Last night we opted for 1997 Raw instead of today's Raw and even got through a PPV.....
Ground Zero: In Your House 1997
This show is quite the mixed bag and again overshadowed by the things that are still to come. The main event is incredible and must see match that should get at least 4 stars on any ratings. The rest of the card.....eh. You have Pillman vs Goldust in an angle that saw Pillman winning and taking Marlena as his assistant for 30 days with the implications that he would be having sex with her for 30 days. Knowing what we know now, if that was my last 30 days alive, it wouldn't be a bad way to go. Moving on we had Brian Christopher who lacks any form of charisma at all at this point except for an annoying as fuck laugh that makes me want to stab him every time he does it. He's taking on Scott Putski in chapter 4,567 of their rivalry. Putski's left knee gives up on him and he's counted out. They show his knee cap being in the wrong part of his leg too many times. Up next we have Chapter 15,698 of the ongoing gang warfare for nothing. I don't care what happened, and moved on. Finally something interesting though, we have minis! Max Mini taking on El Torito in a decent match that even saw Lawler get used for a good comedy spot. At some point we had Stone Cold and Dude Love give up their tag belts on this show, and now we have a Fatal Four Way with The Headbangers, The Godwins, LOD and Owen and The Bulldog. This was just building to a spot where Stone Cold comes out (by god, he shouldn't be out here) and stuns Owen to allow The Headbangers to win. God I love Stone Cold. Bret Hart vs The Patriot is kinda eh. The Patriot is an odd character that sticks out like a sore thumb in an ever growing attitude era and it's obvious he was just brought in to face anti-American heels because he's gone by the end of the year. The main event though....this main event. You have both Undertaker and HBK taking out refs left and right as Undertaker tries to kill HBK and HBK tries to run for his life. I think they go through 5 or 6 refs, and Slaughter lets it happen till the last ref says fuck this and throws it out after a full on early DX run in. These two can't be contained and I can't wait to see what they do with them next.
It's a B+ purely on the strength of the main event, and it's one hell of a main event.

Seth referred to his match at Summerslam as 'Devitt v Black' followed shortly with 'This is Special' on Twitter. Hopefully this means Seth is excited to work with Balor and both of them have an awesome match in store for us on Sunday.

If only USA had a few other shows with at least relatively close to Raw ratings and didn't need WWE programming so badly to prop their numbers up.
Vue is getting NFL Red Zone this season.
I get it free on my Verizon Phone so I hate to pay again.
