So Cena wins the U.S. Title and Seth retains the WWE title at NoC, Seth/Cena at HIAC (Seth's U.S. Title rematch), Seth/HHH at Survivor Series?

The opening Sting promo was one of the worst of the year in terms of its message. HHH IS THE KING OF KINGS, STING IS GRATEFUL FOR HAVING HIS ASS BEATEN AND THEN HAVING HIS HAND SHAKEN, and oh yeah, the WWE Champion isn't half the man HHH is.
Dolph and Rusev had a nothing match that peaked with the post-match upskirt of Lana. Dolph took a shower and Summer invaded the room - so Dolph apparently just doesn't care about folks walking in on him showering. Divas revolution bullshit with this beat the clock challenge. It BEGAN with a 3:21 match, so this revolution is worth about 10 minutes of airtime on this 3+ long hour show. Becky won.
Braun-Dean wasn't much, while Cesaro-Owens was good, it was hurt by the commentary just not caring about it at all and not feeling special. Everything with the Dolph-Lana stuff sucked, as she's angry over him...clearly being set up by the heels and looks like an idiot. Speaking of which, Paige lost the BTC challenge when she should've won by DQ. Dudleys had a super-fun match with New Day, and then Seth was put in his place by Steph. Beyond just being completely responsible for the women's revolution, she'll be responsible for whipping him into shape. And she made Cena-Seth for the U.S. Title - so Seth, the heel, is defending his title against the odds and WWE is outright copying ROH's Jay Lethal run - well, it's a good idea, so why not.

They should only do Raw & PPVs in smark cities, since the crowd reaction is so important to the product. Sure fans might shit all over a match or two, but even the worst smark mutiny would be preferable to silent indifference. That Cena-Sting moment is remembered totally differently with a smart, hot crowd, who, at the very least would've popped out of respect/'the love of the game' even if the execution fell a bit flat.
I think Seth loses both belts with Sting immediately dropping it to Sheamus, setting up Rollins v. Sheamus. I know it's Sheamus, but there's literally no better option right now with MITB until post Mania. The opportunity SCREAMS cash-in for the Title, regardless of the winner.
EDIT: It looks like Rusev is reaching to Lana's ass in that pic, lol.

I'm glad Charlotte and Sasha spent a combined 200 seconds in the ring while HHH wasn't even in the building and was gushed about for half an hour

the wwe are possibly doing as bad a job with vitalising the women's division as is possible to do

But you just know the powers that be are blaming the women for not making it work.
Its such a disappointment.
"Just for meeeeeeeee!"
I like how he's straight up straw-manning RedLetterMedia. I watched their American Ultra episode and they have some pretty straight up legit criticisms of the movie.
They also throw a few elbows in the paint about Landis being an entitled little bitch

it's lonely at the top, fellas
I was there and the crowd was only dead during the divas matches.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The weirdest part about Sting putting HHH over so much was that sure, HHH shook his hand at Mania, but then he went out and talked a shitload of junk about Sting like 30 minutes later.

Man the crowd is terrible. There is no energy in the building. It's even rubbing off on the commentators. And there seems to be a lack of signs too.

That's the worst Max Landis has ever come off, imo. What an entitled millennial shithead. "There is no such thing as 'on-point' criticism when it comes to art." So the latest Justin Bieber concert movie is exactly and inarguably the equal of Tokyo Story, 2001, and The Fog of War, cuz MUH OPINIONS.
Not to mention trying to slight others' criticism while simultaneously falling back on total subjectivity as a means of deflecting it when deployed against him. He'll never transcend hackery, with that kind of thinking. If there is no right or wrong, not even in relative terms, then any commentary on others' views is utterly pointless, Max.

Sombra vs Ultimo was rad. They used all kinds of styles from catch wrestling to mat wrestling to brawling to high flying. Crowd was pretty heated too, especially against Sombra. Ultimo ain't Atlantis either. He'll fuck you up by any means necessary, young boy.
Just a reminder that you can watch the hottest weekly wrestling show, CMLL, every Monday for free on their youtube channel.

I kind of think he's reaching for that Randy Pitchford "refusing to take the L" mindset. He just refuses to accept that American Ultra really wasn't as good or as original as he thought it was. The two movies I know he's written are Chronicle and American Ultra; Chronicle being a decent movie that simply fuses a few superhero tropes with a general Akira-like story, and American Ultra which is a really shitty hybrid of Jason Bourne and Chuck. So my opinion of him right now is that, talent wise, he's a hack who can't think of a truly original idea. He should stick to YouTube videos where he does shitty low budget recreations of 90s comic book storylines.

Just got back from RAW, some thoughts:
The crowd (at least from where I was sitting) was definitely more live than it came across on TV.
Cena, the Dudleyz, Sting were the most over.
Cena/Orton vs. Rollins/Sheamus was the post-RAW dark match. Fun stuff.
I didn't even see Lana's ass live. Oh well.

I also just got back from Raw and it.....it was something else...the crowd was so quiet and there weren't many chants...I was also sitting a row away from a guy who kept trying to start chants that didn't catch on all night...awkward as hell to say the least

Yeah the beat the clock shit was as bad as expected. Like I have no problem with Brie getting squashed but at a minute and forty fucking seconds? They really want to push Charlotte. That Dolph drama shit was stupid shit and just makes Lana look dumber than a box of rocks.
With a little bit of Snitsky thrown in at some angles.
I heard that at first too but then went back and checked and he did say 2x2.
