How did no one call out Shane kissing Stephanie on the cheek and her returning it by blowing him one from the ramp?

I'm pretty sure there's a tumblr account out there loving this shit.
 
I gotta admit I'm glad that the Zayn-Owens thing seems to be ending. Put them on different brands and maybe in about 2-3 years when Owens hopefully has a world title and Sami has arrived in time for a world title push the feud can be brought back.

Ive got tickets to smackdown in august. Im so glad shane is the one running that. Hopefully the draft goes the way I want it to. Could be a pretty fun show.

RAW tonight had a ton of clusterfuck moments. That start was hideous. Tons of other little stuff here and there, but overall, it was pretty entertaining.

That stereotypical slap from stephanie then getting her comeuppance by nearly tripping and busting her ass in front of everyone was fucking sweet. Karma is legit people.

I think of cartoony over-the-top stuff like the segments Jake Roberts had with the Ultimate Warrior and locking him in the room with snakes, or the casket being closed with Taker and Paul Bearer outside. That is good. This Wyatts/New Day stuff is trying way too hard.

Because you have these stupid little Hollywood writers. They don't get it.

It's too bad the whole Vince wants competition thing is only a storyline.

In reality if they really want this roster split to work, they need to have entirely separate people in charge of everything including final say in storylines. Then they should tie things like ratings/attendance numbers/merchandise sales to bonuses for each roster set.

That would really make things interesting and give a tangible benefit to the people putting on the shows as well as the people watching the shows.

I want to say Meltzer/Alvarez talked about this once and said that it would be unfair to Raw to truly compete since they would have the third hour dragging them down each week.

Raw is still going to have a much larger roster than Smackdown though.

You can't tell me that they don't have the roster depth to make 1 compelling 3 hour show a week.

The writing/producing are another story.
 

Aiii

So not worth it
I can't believe that WWE didn't even wait one damn week to create a shitty version of Final Deletion.

And not good shitty, no just shitty shitty. Shitty shaky cam jump cut shitty.

Fuck everyone involved in making that.

Apples and oranges. Even if you don't take the fact that no one on the current roster has 1/10 the character or presence of a Jake/Macho/Warrior, they're totally different products, though still both wrestling, and both can be seen as cartoony.

Just watched RAW, it was solid
-Rollins Report was amazing
-Ambrose's promo was fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
-New Day/Wyatts segment could have used a less shitty camerawork and a less corny music but it worked and had a relatively creepy vibe to it which was cool
-Cesaro/Owens was great
-Dana's boobs were shining like crazy. She still sucks though.
 
I like to think Ambrose being champion means he's giving it his all instead of phoning it in which I felt he had been doing a bit in the past few months. Hopefully he can give a Roadblock-like performance at Battlegrounds.
