I sure won't, that Billy Bob Thornton piece was pretty eye opening.
I think you're actually spoiling events for me with your past few posts! I'm still on KOTR 1997!

Haha!
Oh, I'll stop if you -- or others in the community -- are trailing behind in some good old-fashioned chronological viewing! Is this your first time watching or did you watch back in the day?
I've never actually seen this year but I know basically what is going to happen from books and general WWF knowledge, so don't worry about it. I just figured you were further ahead of me.
Did you watch that Owen moment I posted about yesterday?? It was so good. I'd find it and repost buuut I'm going to sleep instead.

Raw tonight was so damn bad. Their response to ratings going down the toilet is to double down on all the shit that doesn't work. New Day might be the only enjoyable thing on the show, and that's unsurprisingly the act that is closest to the actual personalities of the performers.

So I'm skipping through Raw as I tend to do and aside from Roman's boring promo I watched the end to hear a Husky Harris chant... In 2015? Seriously? That shit didn't fly in three years ago, what dumb ass Chicago marks thought they were being clever trying it now?
I hope they choke on a Payday.
Now the Rusev/Lana thing being talked about on Raw... >_> How stupid... Talking about TMZ "HEY WE'RE RELEVANT SEE!" Carny fucks. And now time for Rusev to job and job for messing with their selective kayfabe.

Raw was fun to be at tonight. I haven't been to a live RAW since RVD was IC Champion wrestling Christian in a ladder match.
Cesaro is awesome live. Chicago loves Cesaro.
New Day were the heels of the night. Fans LOVED booing these guys and the dig on Rose? Perfection.
Ziggler Vs Cena was the best match of the night...and if anyone is interesed, they hugged after the match. No Divas feud setup...yet
The Boss looks great live. As does Paige.
KO is great live.
Chicago was cheering Roman. Everyone was behind him...then he talked too long and the crowd turned on him badly.
During the Divas tag match the crowd was booing because there was a beach ball being tossed around and an agent 47 looking dude took it away.
Crowd went nuts for the proposal.
At one point the screens above the ring crashed revelealing a Windows 95 desktop with too many items on the desktop.
It was fun and wasn't in the parking lot too long after the show!

That Reigns promo wasn't that bad until the "real life" part. He got what'd instantly and there's nothing anyone could say to sell this feud. Lose-lose situation but he seems more confident.
Also, I can't believe they're giving away Reigns/Strowman away for free on RAW.

All the superfluous bullshit they advertise nonstop and they could only be bothered to mention once that they'll have Michaels, Lesnar, and Undertaker on the show next week.
Strowman needs to run through yesterdays garbage quickly so he can beat the 1 in 21 and 1.
This post was unappreciated.

Owens/Kalisto was fun.
Owens vs. Michael Cole at Mania is gonna be great too.

I've said this before I'm sure, but Kane has always been boring. As a monster. As a goofy monster face. As an unmasked darth vader knockoff. As a Corporate Kane. As a Demon Kane.
Always boring. Always. Undertaker is right there with him for me, but I liked Heel Biker Taker so I at least liked Undertaker at one point in his career.

I'm glad they're actually selling Paige as a legit heel instead of just randomly crazy (although there is a pretty big helping of randomly crazy still in there)
Watched this about 4 hours ago from top to bottom and I actually had fun watching it.
WCW Spring Stampede 1998
Perry Saturn vs Goldberg
The match had a stunning showcase feeling with Goldberg displaying his power and the crowd losing their minds. Saturn got more offence in than you would expect but it made Goldberg's comeback even more impactful. Saturn's selling was non existent but as a match I really enjoyed it.
Chavo Guerrero Jr (w/ Eddie Guerrero) vs Ultimo Dragon
Highly competitive match with a great technical flair, it all flowed so well together especially with the whole Chavo vs Eddie storyline being told in an entertaining fashion giving you a reason to care about the outcome. The style of Ultimo Dragon is really something special to see.
(WCW TV Title Match) Chris Benoit vs Booker T (c)
Holy hell what a great match with both putting everything on the line and the crowd were extremely into it all the way through and even with a ref bump it didn't detract from the fun at all. The intensity and determination from both created something engaging along with how well they built the momentum to a fever pitch.
(Managers are handcuffed Match) British Bulldog (w/Jim Niedhart) vs Curt Hennig (w/Rick Rude)
A head butt, several punches, stomping and bouncing heads off turnbuckles. That is it. Utter nonsense with the handcuff stuff too. All in all it was fucking terrible.
(WCW Cruiserweight Title Match) Prince Iaukea vs Chris Jericho (c)
Decent little match with the crowd really caring about the near falls and Iaukea hope spots. This crowd has been awesome so far. It felt one sided as Jericho didn't over extend himself but with the crowd so hot it didn't seem to matter.
Scott Steiner & Buff Bagwell vs Rick Steiner & Lex Luger
Stomping and punching and more stomping followed by more punching. A single hot tag, clotheslines and the rack for the finish. The most pedestrian and laziest match possible but hey, at least it was short.
La Parka vs Psychosis
The crowd which were hot all night instantly stopped caring here. It had the flash but with clumsy and awkward spots it just didn't mean much to anyone. Quite gutted with how poor this was.
(Baseball bat on a pole match)
Kevin Nash & Hulk Hogan vs Roddy Piper & The Giant
This crowd are fucking incredible, molten hot over each of the interactions here. Quite a standard affair but while totally forgettable it wasn't as offensive as I was expecting.
(WCW US Title Match - Raven's Rules)
DDP (c) vs Raven
Hot damn what a brawl. The big spots, brawling everywhere they could, weapon shots, DDP fighting against the odds along with the flock having a key part in giving Raven a title made for something quite cool. The finish was abrupt and killed the momentum dead but the rest of the match was enjoyable.
(WCW World Heavyweight Title Match - No DQ)
Randy Savage (w/Miss Elizabeth) vs Sting (c)
Run of the mill and quite underwhelming but again the crowd were still entertained and very vocal. Miss Elizabeth taking a stinger splash shocked the crowd. Finish came from Hogan appearing and pushing his faction mate off the top only to then see Nash come down and power bomb Sting allowing Savage to win anyway.

So basically the only promo work they're doing for the main event at HIAC is the same video package three times per night?

Seth's booking is just so mind numbingly short sighted. I still won't blame it on him because all of what's bad isn't on him at all. If anything, the dude should just go off script and be all like fuck this fuck all of you guys. But you know he can't do that cause he'll be punished far worse than what he is right now. So he'll just follow the script and take the L because that's what's written for him. It sucks cause he's so good in the ring.

Kane is a pretty funny dude when they let him go.
Welcome to the light side, where it is always sunny. Where joy is had and wrestling is actually fun. It is happy place, a place of warmth and deathmatches, of "so desu ne"-s and flippity floppity flips. A place where we kick out of finishers and then some. Where there are no Big Show's or 5-minute rest holds. Where there is no commentary trying to sell you on stuff with halfhearted faked enthusiasm. Where there is only happiness and endless fave fives.

Roman Reigns is just....not that dude. Say what you will about Cena but he is quick enough to be able to deal with the hot crowds. Roman gets so clearly thrown off when the crowd is ripping him that he cannot even recap his own storyline without fumbling around. Vince, do everyone (including Roman) a favor and take away his brass ring. He's just not cut out for it.
