Orton was in the dark main event. Has he feud ed with Bray yet? Would like to see that after EC, although both kind of need a win

No One Remembers
So I turned on the hockey game after that stupid tag segment. What happened at the end of the show? Just the 'contract signing'???

This Daniel Bryan doc is terrible only because it has Miz. There is no one on this planet that sounds as insincere than him.
 
so










how was raw

The show was built around a contract signing, were the babyface was taken away from the arena early in the show, making you wonder if there was any way he would return in the final segment (perhaps in some unique vehicle).

More Lana/Rusev/Dolph stuff that I'm not caring for

The worst Cena open challenge against Ryder

Awful "acting" by the Entourage guys

The two chamber matches got almost zero build

Pretty poor show IMO

Is he playing Countdown I'm enthusiastic about everything and anything Miz?

No, The Miz that pretends to be a life long fan of wrestling.

"I remember watching Bryan win his first Ring Of Honor world title and I was like 'wow! He finally did it.' I'll never forget it."

Zack Ryder match was hype too bad he'll be forgotten from now on. He should have gone for the Harlem Hangover.

To get real internet cred he should switch to a moveset of only the most dangerous moves. Rocker Dropper, Harlem Hangover, Frankensteiner (with super roid body), Styles Clash, Vertebreaker.
 

Aiii

So not worth it
Another Raw, another Authority opening.

Seriously. END. THIS. FUCKING. ANGLE.

Almost two years straight, almost every Raw opens with The Authority in one form or another, gtfo of here with that shit. So done with this.
 
Missed a few days here, has anyone posted results or thoughts overall on the weekend? I may have to sign up for the on demand stuff.

Senor Boots had a review of the first day up here: http://www.theindycorner.com/reviews/progress-chapter-19-super-strong-style-16-day-1-review/

As for Day 2,
Will Ospreay won the tournament, then Havoc threatened to literally behead him if he didn't get a pay rise, invited to download, and the title match wasn't No DQ. Riots will also be ringside. Sumerian Death Squad won the tag titles, Polly beat Jinny.

Day 2 was a great night of wrestling, well worth it, and from what I hear, so was Night 1.

Instead of this stupid love angle and Ziggler shit, they should have just revealed that Lana was secretly a lesbian or bisexual or something and pretend that Putin has publicly renounced her and asked Rusev to destroy the evil gays from the world. Rusev could then transform into this super-racist and sexist asshole monster heel that everyone would love to hate.

Then again, wrestling crowds, he'd probably get cheered.

Yeah, it was a crazy weekend of wrestling, I'd say the second show topped the first, although the tag match on night 1 and Ciampa vs Tommy End were really awesome. How good was Jinny vs Polly? They proper beat the crap out of each other.

did boots ever mail round the CZDub links for the OT?

Some of them, yours is next, I'll get to it this afternoon after I've written up night 2 of the PROGRESS show.

After the shifts I've seen them put in at ENDVR, seeing them get that reaction was great.

Joe got a pretty good Deal

With Samoa Joe only signing a few date deal with WWE, it allows him to work for pretty much anyone as an actual independent contractor like the stars in the territorial era did.

Joe will be working the 6/20 Ring of Honor show at Terminal 5 in New York. That's the television taping the day after the PPV in the same venue.

So not worth it
I have to give WWE credit though, for a PPV that didn't even exist three weeks ago, this card is maybe the best card they've had this year:

WWE World Heavyweight Title Match
Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins

Elimination Chamber for the Vacant WWE Intercontinental Title
King Barrett vs. R-Truth vs. Ryback vs. Sheamus vs. Rusev vs. Dolph Ziggler

Elimination Chamber for the WWE Tag Team Titles
Los Matadores vs. The Prime Time Players vs. The Ascension vs. The Lucha Dragons vs. Cesaro and Tyson Kidd vs. The New Day

Triple Threat for the WWE Divas Title
Paige vs. Naomi vs. Nikki Bella

Kevin Owens vs. John Cena

Neville vs. Bo Dallas

Why is a network exclusive show labelled as a PPV? This was a house show turned into something bigger but is it actually being shown on PPV too?

It ain't gonna get any better. Authority angles are too played out. At least Vince allowed himself get one upped in his feuds.

The problem is that the WWE had conditioned the audience to think that important things only happen when Steph & HHH are around. So when they leave ratings drop then Vince brings them back with a big storyline that re-inforces that they are the 'real' stars of the show.
