So apparently Cena and Ambrose had a dark match after Raw ended against Styles and Rollins. I guess some Smackdown folk were there after all.
Well, if WrassleGAF had an slogan it would be "Complaining: Then. Now. Forever."
But yeah, this Raw was great. Except for the commercials the show never lost my attention during the 3 hours

I figured they were backstage. Wouldn't make sense for them to fly home for one day. Soon they'll have SD house shows on Monday nights though.
It took him getting popped for Vince to finally face reality I guess.

I'm guessing this means of active wrestlers?
1. Rusev- Rusev is one of the few people who can get me to actively wish for Ryder to lose. The man has it all, the size, the talent and the sense of humor to make me love the fucking hell out of this guy.
2. John Cena- Yes, Cena gets the number 2 spot. Been a fan since I was a kid. I can rap all actual John Cena parts of his theme songs (Tha Trademarc on the second verses leaves me stumped though) and I'm not really proud of that. Only time I've ever really hated this guy was when he beat Mysterio for the WWE Championship. That pissed me off so much.
3. Becky Lynch- Favorite women's wrestler. Currently in denial of thinking she might never get her chance to properly shine being stuck on Smackdown, especially when Bayley gets brought up and very likely gets that Wrestlemania 33 program with Sasha.
4. Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn- Despite hating the two when they feud with the other, these guys are tied because I couldn't decide which to put on the list.
5. The Miz- A heel who can get legit heel heat, not cheers or X-Pac Heat boos. Would honestly not object if he got involved in the main title scene any day now. Won the main event of a Wrestlemania!
Some people on this list might get switched around though if asked for overall faves.

Hurry up and watch possibly the only WWE-promoted instance of Bayley saying "fuck" while it's up

They were probably advertising those guys or even that match in the local TV ads before the draft.
I'm really curious to see if they pull the trigger on having Big E start doing more singles matches if they lose the belts to The Club. There's certainly room for another solo face near the top of the card and it isn't going to be Cesaro.

Give this a watch, then join both me and dream as we invest heavily in blue chip Stroman stock. Size, uncanny speed, and a likable personality to boot. That's a main event player in the making right there.
I say you give him a few more weeks of squashes, then have him clash with WSM Mark Henry at the SummerSlam.

All I got from that is that Bayley watches Raw in the dark.
Probably crying cause she's still not on the main roster.

For the record, while both Heel and I are united in our appreciation of Adam, and our prospects for his potential in this wretched business that we call professional wrestling, we disagree violently on how to use Adam. Heel believes that this kid should be turned baby at some point. I disagree. I believe that turning him baby at any point will turn him into Big Show, and the best way to use Adam is to have him be a monster heel that's stronger and quicker than Brock for the rest of his career.
What say you, wrestling gaf?

I say let Braun form a stable with Becky Lynch and Simon Gotch involving him becoming a gladiator once more.
Strowman should probably never be a face.
Then again Strowman seems like he'd fit in well with a 2016 Oddities group. Like the Rosebuds.

Steiner gimmick confirmed?!

But can he work the crowd with a killer promo?
That's the beauty of this investment, dream. I don't think you can go wrong here. It's clear that Adam is a man of many talents and styles. He's playing the brute, and he's playing it well, but it's also quite evident that he can be turned into a likable galoot if he runs out of legs.

Adam is a fucking fantastic promo. That's the problem though. He's so likeable, and I can see why Heel would want him to go baby.
He should be a badass that wrecks shit up, heel or face. Just don't make him "friendly" and everything is going to be fine.
And yet, it makes sense if you consider Stephanie and Shane to be kids.
Shane: My champion is the champion of the WWE!
Stephanie: Oh yeah? Well my champion is the champion of the whole universe!

An 875 lb deadlift, friends. I bet most of you can't even deadlift 87.5 lbs.
Just listen to this guy, dream. You can't teach that. Children would absolutely love a gentle giant gimmick. The adult children would find him likable as well.
With that said, this Goliath run is going to have a lot of legs.

Well this was the end of the ride.
Good show. Finn getting one hell of a debut push huh.
Roman Reigns moveset is now nothing but violent punches and clotheslines and powerbomb variants and the finisher is a spear with scowls all the time. It's like 12 year old me made this in WCW/nWo Revenge. Just the best.
Strowman pulls 875? Oh my.

Ah alright. No respect for the clean up crew
Is the episode worth watching? The show is super unappealing and phony looking but I like all of the people featured
When has it not been that?
The powerbomb spamming is new and wonderful.

I think I liked the first Kento Miyahara vs. Kengo Mashimo match more than the title match, and Mashimo impressed me more than Miyahara in this match by keeping the match internally consistent and chugging along. That said, Miyahara placed his explosive offense in where it mattered, and this was a long championship match that felt very fast.
As always, Miyahara's jumping knee lift is a very pretty sight.
Tomorrow night, I'm watching BJW's Ryogokutan show from July 24.

He's a glory hound no doubt, but he deserves a ton of fucking credit for the women. He made a conscious decision to make the women a big part of NXT and hire SDR to train them, and this was back when the main roster women's division was still mostly a shitshow. He wanted women to be wrestlers in NXT and gave them the platform to prove they could be.

Universal championship. WWE is truly going carny now. I bet they'll change the company name to Universal Wrestling Entertainment.

Vince is crazy enough to do it

It's actually pretty cool. This was the first ep I watched and it featured The Club as well. They were telling some pretty cool stories.
I think WWE Universal Championship is a stupid name too. It makes it sound like it's better than the Standard WWE championship that's on Smackdown.
They say the best gimmick is an extension of your personality, dream. I think we saw that at the end of that video. That said, it's clear Adam is very talented and can play the role he's needed in.
Also worth noting that Adam is a man who maintained professionalism when Brock was working unsafe to get over.
We both know Adam could've snatched his neck right there and ended his run as a top alpha. I think that went a long way in the back, and paved the way for his impending monster run.
One month of sprawl training and Brock is getting clubbed and subbed, no doubt in my mind. Leave USADA out of it.

Can you imagine Brock shooting a power double, getting stuffed, then looking up at this?
That's 300 lbs of prime beef right there.
