Well I guess Seth is a Paul Heyman guy now, in spirit.

I wasn't really paying attention to the main event but it seemed like a pretty standard CENA WINZ that'd be a house show main event or something.

Decent show, got to see a horrendous vomit segment.

That would make more sense than getting absolutely nothing out of being the Authority's stooge for reasons that don't seem to extend beyond "I'm bored, and was curious about what it'd be like to be hunted for sport."

I missed Raw and was avoiding spoilers, but when I saw the Match of the Year thread was bumped I was like "oh neat I wonder what cool match Raw had".

Raw had a bunch of cool matches but none of which were worthy of nominations except the really lovely one at the end.

As they were gearing up to go off the air he just started ranting about everyone and about how it was a bad idea to do the pre/post shows and how everyone there sucks and poo poo.

I was going to ask, since I missed the first hour, was there any motivation given to Seth's turn? I thought for sure that he'd be put in the MitB as the carrot so I was a little surprised when that spot went to Roman Reigns poisoning someone.

Generic greed, boredom and wanting all of the sweet (nothing) perks that come with being part of the Authority.

My hope is Reigns murders ADR in their match so ADR has to be replaced with Seth.

That's a good way to actually get ADR out if the match. He got in when it was just for the case, right?

Yeah, I get the generic greed and narcissism. I was just wondering if they've paid lip service to any "perks" yet since that seems like a no brainer. As you seemed to imply, otherwise he just kind of comes off like an idiot who made some enemies so he could be an Authority stooge. Dude didn't even get in the battle royal tonight.

I know we make jokes about The Authority being impotent but the idea that there are no kayfabe perks to it is so silly. Also Rollins clearly explained his motivations three times last week.

I'd put that one safely in the "Con" column.

Again, vague motivation is fine. I was just asking if the first hour revealed he reaped any tangible rewards, even if just in lip service.

Oh that's a definite, but I can still dream.

I think the ladder match actually works better without Seth anyway since now you've got everyone with their own agendas instead of a stacked Authority deck.

The speech he gave Michael Cole didn't really allude to the idea of rewards or tangible benefits. He just betrayed them because they were nothing without him and he wanted to take his career to the next level without the dead weight. Typical "Four Horsemen break up," type stuff. Nobody ever even brought up him getting a title shot or anything for doing it, it was a Cut The Dead Weight angle.

I thought there was pretty obvious implication of not outright statement in all the "I didn't sell out, I bought in" and Triple H's Plan B stuff. I thought their clear story was that Triple H made him an offer. Otherwise the timing and context doesn't make a ton of sense to me. Why is he an Authority stooge right down to helping Kane try and beat Cena if he didn't get something?

I really hope that this is the written in reason. Down the line we have Rollins do a promo in his locker room and in his locker is a box that just says "BLOND DYE 36pk QUARTERFILLED". I'll die a happy man.

Oh, my bad buddy. I thought you were stating it as a bad thing rather than just a curiosity. Sorry if I came off hostile or anything. :shobon:
