That'd be more true if their skin colors were reserved.
Huh? I'm just not one of these new posters to the program.
OMGAWD. Vince is letting US have Ziggler! YEAAHHHH
When you listen to guys like Ambrose talk about the lack of freedom or the just plain bad ideas creative sometimes brings to the table, you start to wonder how many guys on the roster are going through the same thing, and how many guys are just as annoyed by it. The corporate culture of the WWE sounds pretty bad.

Well I know what I'm watching tonight!
Zayn throws down the WWE Undisputed title he just won, spitting on the legacy of your HHH's, your HBK's, your Ric Flair's and proclaims it the NXT Undisputed title.

Fuckin' Lethal Lottery.
B-bu-but Austin said he raised heck and that Ringmaster sucked and these guys need to just go to Vince and creative and say "hey I have an idea" and that'll fix all the problems!

Cena can't even give Hogan 5 minutes to himself?
That heat is callin him
I forgot about all of the guys that go on podcasts and talk about how stupid all the shit is. And on twitter. People still in the company, retired stars, office people, video production people. Everyone shitting on WWE and no one at the top seems to notice.

Remember when he came out in defense of Daniel Bryan on Raw and said that Bryan was "really really good" and then said a bunch of things Bryan probably should have been saying? I wish I didn't.

Just got back from Raw. I don't know how it played on TV, but I had a great god damn time. This was my first time at a WWE event. Being a "very special episode," not much happened to advance storylines, but it was a solid night of inoffensive fun. I'm reading through your comments and typing my own impressions along the way.
The night kicked off with a couple Superstars matches. First up was Titus O'Neil v. Justin Gabriel. It was practically a squash match. Justin did some flippy shit, then Titus tossed him around for a few minutes and got the pin. Titus looked great. I wish they'd put him on TV more. After that it was Rowan v. Cesaro. Rowan's a Minnesota boy, so he got a pretty good pop. But Cesaro got a huge pop. They put on a textbook match; Rowan understandably came out the victor. Cesaro pulled out a swing, though. Both guys looked great.
The opening segment was what it was. Mostly embarrassing. Cena and Rollins put on a hell of a show in their match, though. Until the finish, that is. All I could do was shake my head. But the leg drop looked really impressive.
Swagger v. Fandango had an unexpected finish. I still have a soft spot in my heart for Fandango, so it got a cheer out of me. R-Truth v. Adam Rose: LOL.
Reigns v. Big Show. This whole thing nicely encapsulated everything about Roman Reigns. Before the match anticipation was palpable. Throughout the commercial break every single neck in the house was craned toward His Holiness' expected point of entry. The music hits. The bass hits you in your gut. The crowd feels electric as He makes His way down the stairs. Then the match starts and it...just doesn't go anywhere. All that energy fizzles into the ether. People are excited by Roman Reigns the idea more than Roman Reigns the man.
Natalya v. Brie. Brie got a surprisingly loud pop from the ladies in the crowd. The match itself got a big ol' 0. Not much to say about that. Then the Dust Brothers v. Los Matadores, and the less I say about that, the better.
ZIGGLER V. HARPER. MY MARK OUT MOMENT OF THE NIGHT.
I'm a full on Ziggler mark. I have no shame about that. This match had me on the edge of my seat. Every time Ziggler tried to mount some offense, Harper slapped him the fuck down. At several points I really thought it was all over. It seemed like there was no credible way my boy could pull out a win. But he did, and it was glorious. I screamed my god damn head off through the entire post-match celebration. I was seated in a fairly prominent position wearing a limited edition Ziggler shirt, and I'm pretty sure senpai noticed me. I think I might have been in an audience close-up shot? I'll have to go back and watch it.
Piper v. Rusev. It was crazy how over this segment was. Piper got the standard old-timer pop, of course. Then Rusev comes out and the boos are nothing short of deafening. This guy has nuclear heat. Ryback comes out to a bigger pop than anyone's gotten all night. Every soul in the building is screaming "Feed me more!" at the top of their lungs. It was really an incredible moment to be caught up in.
Divas tag match. Crowd was catatonic for anyone who wasn't Paige. She and Emma had a pretty fun little moment in the ring. Other than that it was a divas tag match.
Mizzes v. Usos. The standard Miz/Mizdow dynamic. Really fun to be a part of. The Usos are still boring.
Ambrose v. Wyatt. This match took a while to get going, I thought, but ended up decent in the end. I dunno. I love Ambrose and I like Wyatt but I think their rivalry has run its course. The finish was dumb as hell, but I get it. The table spot was a show stopper and you can't end a match from there. After the show went off the air, Wyatt gets led backstage by the doctors. Ambrose sets up another table in ring, then runs backstage to grab Wyatt. Dirty Deeds in the ring, followed by a table spot off the ladder. Wyatt gets led away by doctors again while Ambrose ends the night hamming it up to the audience.
Like I said, a fun night all around. Some lulls to be sure, but I saw the guys I love, doing what they love to do. Maybe it was less impressive on TV, but it's really hard to be cynical when you're right there in the thick of it, contributing to the show. I can't wait until the next time WWE comes to town.
Yeah! That happened. Right when the match hit a high note, so it was a weird mix of real and ironic cheers.

Reminds me of my first post here in GAF.. Let's go back in time, shall we?
In the tradition of Sunny, in the tradition of Stro, of the Bean Bionic brothers, of Prof. Beef, of Falling Edge and Bronson, of Aiiii, of Heel-- the man who will never die.
As the real captain of this ship EvilLore, upstairs tonight.
From the Alucards, to the Fox318s, to the... SimplyTheBests, I accept this GAF membership. ... Wait a second. Of Plywood. Of the fat man himself, Data West. This is it tonight, Dad.
God, that's beautiful...and they can all kiss my ass!
Because! I am not the man who accepts a torch to be handed down to me from an organization that died-- RIP-- seven years ago. The Freckhise, is the man who ignites the new flame of the sport of professional wrestling forum posting!
Tonight, before God and my father is witness,
I declare myself, The Freckhise, as the new GAF Heavyweight Champion of the world! I have set out to change the face of professional wrestling forum posting.
So tonight, let the new era begin: the era of the sport of professional wrestling forum, the era of The Freckhise!

I switch my opinion every few months on whether or not HHH is part of the problem or just biding his time until Vince retires (dies in the middle of the ring)
I think I'm set after R-Evolution though that he is just biding his time.
I remember that post but let's be real, you've been here a lot longer than that, Horse.
Yeah, I wonder if there are any repercussion that we don't know about. Likely not. It's probably a case of the WWE being so huge that they just can't keep track of who is saying what where, unless it's a huge thing like the Punk on Colt interview.
sounded like a great raw tonight

Who would you say is the glue that holds this community together? When you can answer that, you'll know then who was the poster named Horse.
I'm surprised guys are allowed to go on podcasts at all really. You never used to see dudes going on radio shows and be 100% out of character and talking about shitty writing and refusing ideas and what not. Once in a while on Stern, but that's it. It seems likely to me that Vince still doesn't know what a podcast is even after doing the thing with Austin.

It will do no good if the foundation is inherently faulty.
Hilarious that the veteran-recommended method for the past twenty years has been to fight against an entire division of the publicly-traded company--a division whose sole purpose is to make the wrestlers entertaining and palatable to an audience--in order to be successful.
@Freck: Can't believe you gave the rub to simplythebest in your debut. Could have at least Noob Saibot'd him out of your re-post. Shameful chapter of Wrasslegaf history.

It's Horse. Where do you think he went after he got banned?
He literally became the glue to hold us together.
I should probably replace him with someone else and give him the Benoit treatment.

Does WWE know that giving Ziggler any form of momentum is not a good idea with the Rumble just around the corner? I mean, just imagine if Philly get's the idea that he could actually win...

So basically what it boils down to for who we should blame for ten years of Cena is Vanilla Ice right..?
If Sina didn't catch Steph's attention with the rap gimmick that night.
The very moment that sealed our fates. Steph looked at that and thought "well, there's our future!".

It'll be easier on all of you if you just killed any hope of anyone you enjoy winning the rumble, and accept Roman in your lives for the next ten or so years.
It'd be easier if they just liked Roman.

I just read an article where someone claimed that the rumors of Roman winning the Rumble was just a work to get "smarks" riled up.
Take that for what you will.

WE'RE BOOKING ROMAN REIGNS TO WIN EVERYTHING AND BY GOD, YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT GOD DAMMIT!
and THAT is just a rumor to give smarks false hope that one of their internet favorites are going to win so that Vince can laugh when Roman still wins.

Ziggler is good but he doesn't put on performances like Bryan did where you were left wondering how the fuck is he not in the main event.
