My cousin just took a picture with Paige and Del Rio looks like he's fine.

Well done WWE. Well done.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The second pedigree was a complete waste of the Spear to Pedigree spot (I assume HHH did that on one of the other dudes who did the spear?)
I thought the spot served its purpose. It was flashy and unexpected per Seth's idiom, but lacked substance. Rollins didn't hook both arms, so Reigns had an easier time kicking out than he would otherwise have had. Took a full pedigree to end it.

I still think the funniest thing is that all of the wrestlers have some kind of magic powers to get their music to play on command.
It's real to me

Or when the wrestlers that are considered outsiders/the bad guys have their own theme prepped despite them being, y'know, people that the company in Kayfabe want tossed out of the company. Like with the Shield.
It was...good-ish.

Quick question... when Roman wins his 4th world title at Summerslam, will that set a record for number of world title wins for a single wrestler in a 9-month stretch (November 22nd through August 21st)? And will Roman lose the belt again between then and Wrestlemania so he can quickly claim his 5th title reign?

I think Ol' Double J has him beat. Jarrett went from never having won the strap to a 4 time world champ in the span of a month and a half (4/16-5/29) in WCW during 2000.
I'd rather have Reigns with the title and fighting in main events than Ambrose. Ambrose looks as legitimate a champion as David Arquette. Do not understand the appeal. Not funny or intersting on the mic. Awful wrestling. Looks emaciated. At least Roman sort of has a look, and it's fun to hate him.

Roman vs Cena at WM33 with Flair's record on the line.

Incredibly uneven PPV, unlike most I thought Styles vs Cena was a straight up bore, pace as slow, they literally tried to sell a will Cena submit to a fucking headlock spot.
Reigns vs Rollins was faster paced, a better story and of course a much better ending.
MitB match was solid but the IC ladder match at Mania was better, the tag match was alright, the rest was completely meh.

Because he didn't get a three count and in kayfabe kicking out at 2 is part of the strategy. Neither Reigns or Rollins did anything to capitalize on the ref bump and Roman caused it to begin with.

Finishes with accidental ref bumps that don't result in a win by cheating still count as a clean win.

the hell are you talking about, Cena was great in the ring during his recent U.S champ reign
He's always delivered in big matches against good opponents, this AJ match is more of an anomaly for Cena.

Would be interesting to see that Cena is missing a step post-recovery. One bad match - especially with someone he hasn't worked with before - is not a trend. But I'm going to raise my eyebrow if we see a litany of subpar performances throughout the summer.
He's sustained two major injuries since then.

I don't think Cena's match was subpar at all. It was good/fine, and the crowd seemed to like it.

Cena going to China last week also probably didn't help.

Cena did talk a lot but the match was damn good.

4/8 matches sucked, but the good matches were good enough for me to say it was a good show. I don't even like Ambrose. I guess this will lead to a Shield 3 way at Summer Slam, (or sooner?) which should be cool.
FUCK YES. Loved the ending, although Seth needs to get rid of some ring rust. Hell, Sami did as well but luckily for us managed to do it before Nakamura. Cena needs it too to a lesser extent, but he had the perfect opponent in AJ for that.
Really enjoyed the tag and MITB matches too, but man, FUCKING AMBROSE!! Next PPV main event should be fun.

PPV was alright I guess. Super happy for Ambrose, 4-way was clunky but entertaining, didn't care about Sheamus/Crews, Corbin/Ziggler, the tag match.
AJ/Cena was solid but I expect some better matches out of this feud. MITB was cool.

Based Seth making Ambrose's garbage offense look great.

Loved the main event. I think it went perfectly. I might be biased being a big Shield fan but I was just so good. I do like that Rollins looked like he was ready for a fight when Ambrose's music hit. No coward this time. Unfortunately he didn't see him attacking from behind. Congrats to Ambrose.

I was about to bitch about how Roman loses clean to Seth while AJ couldn't even beat him while cheating. However, decided I was being a stupid idiot. The Shield triple threat makes too much sense, I just didn't think it would be happening this soon.
I'm pretty happy that a part of Reigns "super Cena" armor was stripped tonight. It will make his feuds much more engaging now knowing that he can lose.

I guess I'm still in disbelief that Dean actually won. I still think they are going to find some sort of excuse to take it away from him today and give it back to Roman. That collision with the barrier and concern of whether or not he was actually cleared seems like an out waiting to happen. They didn't use it during the event so there is a chance that I am just being paranoid but it wouldn't be surprising.
I prefer Seth wins it at Summerslam over Reigns if the title is going to change hands. Then they can start the building to a program with Triple H for Royal Rumble.

Nah, I think that was just "Oh he's so hurt he needs medical attention, but still hit the spear for a ref bump and kicked out of running into a pedigree".
The thing is, to me, it just looks like both Roman and Seth were screwed out of a win one time each because if Seth could have gotten to him and git him back in the ring, he could have won then.
Credit to WWE for the fact that Roman has still never beaten Seth too. They can keep that for a little longer.
Bryan had good ratings. Much better than what they have now.
Here's how I fully expect Raw to go tonight, because WWE likes to ruin everything.
-Dean opens the show and cuts a promo about being happy to be the craziest world champ since Mick Foley
-Seth interrupts and says Dean had no right cashing in on him.
-Steph interrupts both of them and comes put with the ringside doctor who was checking on Roman after the spear/barrier spot. The doctor will say that Roman was never cleared to resume the match and the match shouldn't have continued. Therefore Roman is still the World Champ, voiding out Seth's win and Dean's cash in. Roman then stays on concussion protocol until Summerslam

That would actually make me happy.
WWE retconning the two most exciting World Title moments since Rollins winning at WM31 would make you happy?
