Summerslam is already sold out, so he's going to bring back a couple thousand casuals for a month or two at $9.99? Like it's been argued before, this makes much more sense if they were still on PPV where they could reap the benefits of popping one big buyrate. They are booking opposite of their business plan
Come back, friend BIONIC. We need you now more than ever.

Summerslam has been sold out for,months. And he is not a big draw to impact network subs

"Demon Balor" like he's an alt version of himself in street fighter or an SNK game.
In terms of wrestling characters he's probably the best guy to retire the Deadman
I think he can still put on decent matches. But not having The Streak anymore pretty much kills his ability to draw at Mania.

Undertaker should start wearing a vest like Reigns.

Well at the rate he's going, Reigns as the top guy wouldn't have been great TV either, so it's not as if fans robbed us of some miraculous revelation.

Undertaker's last WM match is a gauntlet match against every person he has ever faced at WM before.
If they're no longer with us they get counted out and it is considered a win for UT. Everyone still alive is there, even Punk, he came back just to lose again.
Undertaker is gonna get that streak back in one night baby!

I think it was Meltzer who said the plan was to have Brock snap the streak, steamroll Bryan for the belt and steamroll Cena so that Super Reigns could stop him the following WM. Don't know how accurate or likely Daniel Bryan's comment was on him feeling ready, but if he can go and wins the belt from Rollins, then yep, WM is already booked, as long as everyone stays healthy. Plan B is try plan A again DAMMIT!

thought that shirt said mortal kumbuckets
Sephzilla's alternate reality booking that would never happen anyway
Brock is about to beat Seth but The Authority does something to distract him. Undertaker's bell tolls, Taker appears in the ring, Brock is legit shook, and suddenly Taker goes to the outside to fight off the rest of the Authority to leave Brock and Seth one on one. Brock destroys Seth and becomes champion again. Taker enters the ring, stares down Brock, then they shake hands because Taker respects Brock for ending The Streak.
Then Brock and Taker decide that one title belt is enough and unite to become the tag team champions (because the rest of the tag division would retire immediately upon this news anyway, except for New Day, for some reason).

It's gonna take a ton of work from Sandra but I would love an Undertaker outfit that looks a bit like the new M. Bison outfit from SF5 with the long flowing coat incorporated into his ring gear. Include the Super Shredder shoulder pads too.

I don't have a good feeling about tonight's Raw. It'll be boring and end with the gong and 10 min taker entrance.

Why are people still getting shook by Taker's bell in 2015? It's time to hang it up friend.

Lol Meltzer saying wwe is going to do more apron bumps because ROH does them
Also they are searching for a new Mexican star.

Even if it sucked, it'd suck with a plan. Now what? They have nothing for Brock, and it's clear.
They have nothing for Seth, and it's clear.
They have nothing for Ambrose, and even on the PPV last night they had nothing for Ambrose, so I don't know how that could possibly need to be clearer.
The only people they seem to have anything for is Cena (holds US title until they feel he's ready for a Flair-tying world title), and Reigns (feud with Bray until whenever, get crowned at Mania)
Again, 2 years this has happened. And the result at the end is there's maybe two people who look like they'll go anywhere. I'm so glad Batista got Hollywood$$$, and I hope he never hits his head on a rock and thinks to come back to WWE TV.
At some point, let a plan come together, even if it sucks. Because all that ever happens when it's interrupted is they come up with something different, and there hasn't been a moment in a decade where this staff has come up with anything on the fly that looks good or like it will go somewhere.
They have nothing for anyone. How awkward was the first few weeks of NXT after Zayn and Itami got injured? I'd still say the Finn and Owens feud doesn't feel natural on any level. This is a company that does not know how to set up failsafes in case something goes wrong which is hilarious because the amount of injuries in the history of pro wrestling should dictate that you have a plan b a plan c and a plan d.
But they can barely come up with one good storyline, much less several reserved ones in case the good one goes wrong.

you'd figure with 54 writers they would have one good idea.
I mean look at what a badass vamp is on lucha underground
WWE couldn't do that with all of the resources they have.

They're really going to try and get Roman a rub from Sting aren't they?

That Bucks shirt is dumb. It should have said THE YOUNG BUCKS in the MK font. If anyone asks you have to explain it twice then they know you can't let go of 20 year old video games and like indie wrestling. #unsafe

Brock's metabolism is on fleek. My dude dripped a slurpee cup worth of sweat off his chin in that clip alone. :100:

They're killing Brock with this Taker rehash. Rollins and the WWE title were made out to look like crap. Rollins has no leg to stand on at all after last night. He's done. Cena/Owens have had four matches already. The Authority has taken a back seat. They really do have nothing. Where's the big angle? Why is there nothing brewing? When The Authority was front and center you could feel something bigger brewing, you could feel a build up. There is nothing now. Vince is panicking and had to bring out a 70 year old fart just to raise the ratings a bit. Everything crashed and burned so fast.

I certainly noticed this last night with Roman getting lariated on the apron and the past months matches.
Can Roman lend him some of his hair folicles?

How on earth are people surprised by this? Like, I know it was 6 months ago, but people really didn't already forget them bringing out the Rock to get booed for giving him a rub, right?
And they obviously value Sting less than the Rock. He couldn't even beat HHH with help and a weapon, and then he shook the damn man's hand after that clowning.
