Alvarez is reporting Sasha vs Charlotte is either closing or opening the show since WWE fear that the crowd might leave the show after the match if it's in the middle or near the end.
If true, it basically confirms WWE haven't decided what match is going when.

Was that the worst use of Brock since his return?
I think it was.
Calling it an A show is quite the stretch

That's why they hastily brought back The Undertaker in 2015.
And I've watched some of TNA's stuff on their YT page and I gotta say, Lashley's gotten a lot better in the speaking department. He looks great, can perform more than enough, and can talk. One of the better all-around guys right now. Shame he's in a low-tier organization. I miss WCW.

oh i'm hardly in on the graps twitter inner circle
as far as I understand it, it's a play they are/were looking to make, and they got scooped. flo had a decent funding round, and will be looking at the same groups as wwe, so drives prices up

cope of extra bits on the #BigNews from da meltz
We talked about PWG yesterday lol
don't go RBH on us now man
Lashley should go to NJPW.
He'll never go back to the wwf as long as Hayes is there anyway.

I've just started Raw and what is this? Owens is right to mention "childish little antics" because this entire segment is just one big "what?" moment, WWE got wind that the list was over and have done what they do best, ruin it via a baffling segment where grown men treat a slip of paper like it's the title itself.
And then after this we segue into "Hell in a Cell is totally barbaric guys", the mood whiplash here is unreal.

I approve of Lashley as a better Bob Sapp.

I think the main reason the Cruiserweights don't get too big of areaction is because the crowd expects constant flippy-shit, not creative submission holds.
I mean, you've got guys like Styles or Seth doing a lot of stuff too, so it's hard to sell it as a bunch of new and unique things.

Smh at the crowd on that segment.
Not at all, boo a shitty segment. Hopefully if they do a debate next week or some ridiculous shit, it gets booed as well.

I guess some nostalgia stuff is not worth bringing back.
Listening to Review a Raw go over that Heyman segment, I nearly burst out laughing going for lunch. Sounds absolutely incredible. This company is just the best.
It's more about some hilariously garbage booking imo

Isnt he injured from NJPW's King of Pro Wrestling where he broke his orbital bone? I can't imagine that healing quickly.

Maybe. But I dunno. The crowd gets hot when the performers are doing the flippy stuff, but when it's the regular shit like submissions or normal wrestling, they tune out (or chant CM Punk), probably because they expect 24/7 dives and flips.

Woah, it's been years since they trotted out the always uninteresting arm wrestling segment.
Oh my word, a cheap shot, WHAT A TWIST!
Save me Smackdown.

The crowd don't care for the cruiserweights. They've been given no reason to. The moment CWC ended all actuall booking, storytelling and foresight ended giving us matches for matches sake.
It ain't the same.
HHH vs Rollins and Goldberg vs Lesnar? good thing I decided not to make the trip to Toronto
No problemo.
Evolve with PROGRESS production levels would be an incredible promotion. It's the only thing holding them back. That and a true Thatcher turn (still haven't watched the latest shows yet though....)

And now Bo Dallas followed by Golden Truth vs Los Matadores puerto rico edition, why am I watching this again? I feel like I've got a sunk cost fallacy going on here.
I mean, I can watch Smackdown while I can't Raw so it's a pretty easy choice for me.

it was more an i don't care shrug, i know he has a legit bad injury
It seems that you can have a working iPPV or nice production, not both. At least at the level of money indies pull in.
B-b-but Elgin's good now!
Trips is one behind Cena in the belt thing right?
They should have him trying to get the belt from Seth to beat his great buddy Flair's legacy before Cena can.
(Or stopping Cena)

Elgin's a major fan favourite now. He's great.
He's gotten popular in NJPW, and I don't understand why. I mean he's had some good matches, but pretty much anyone could go to NJPW and look like a million bucks.
yeah his G1 matches with Nakajima, Naito and ladder match vs Omega have all been excellent. Oh and the last Naito match as well.

dope, i rescind my shrug then, i won't skip his next pwg match
though i made that mistake with Cage, hated him in PWG, LU made him seem really awesome, tried him again in PWG and still garbage
Yeah Camacho, Chase Owens, Adam Page are all mega standouts now
You can't just say that NJPW has some sort of magic fairy dust that makes people good - they have to have some talent and put in a hard work to get there first.
Cage definitely works better in a non-live environment where they can er, edit out his botches.

According to what culture
Cena has 15
HHH has 14
Orton has 12 and is the youngest
Sting on 15 (although he retired soon after the list was made)
Kurt Angle on 13 (although again he may very soon retire)
If I had to bet.... Cena will get it first
If I go with my gut.... Orton will beat it first and end up with the most by the time he retires

Triple H won the Royal Rumble, the world title and main evented Wrestlemania.

How many G1s have those guys been in? I'm not gonna say Elgin is as bad as Camacho, but he got a rocket push by getting thrown into the G1s and immediately getting to work with all the best wrestlers. He's like a mini-Cesaro with even less charisma.

I wish the original airing was still available. I have read that on the live show, fans actually cheered when Hogan was eliminated, but in the tape and WWE Network version, the crowd noise is altered to not reflect this.

Shoot: And I was okay with it because he made a more credible World Champion than Rollins, Reigns, or Ambrose

Big Mike is great, expect in the ladder match at Dominion where I think he was legitimately trying to murder Kenny Omega.
