Suck it
Two tears in a bucket
And then another thing
I'm not the one they'll try their luck with
Hit hard like brass knuckles
See your face through the turnbuckle dude
I got no love for you
Speaking of Russo, I watched Beyond the Mat again last night, it holds up. Funny to see Russo backstage going over poo poo with Sable, it's interesting seeing the backstage as it "really is" rather than what you see in the WWE documentaries.

Hmm. According to Court Bauer, Raw was being written day-of. Greenie watched an hour and assumed it was being rewritten during the show. From their experience writing TV, the TAG TEAM MATCH PLAYA stuff was to eat up time while they figured out what the gently caress to do next.

Court said the opening segment was originally Heath Slater which is why the WWE accounts were talking about him on Twitter.

Heath Slater also thought he was going to be in the opening segment:

Yeah he mentioned that, too. The New Day being there was yet another last-minute change. Greenie said he knew this and the 9pm never ending Diva segment meant this was a classic Eric Bischoff booking the show during the show episode.

Gotta feel bad for Heath there, man. The Twitter hype machine building up his appearance, first time on a televised RAW program in god knows how long(last I remember was Rusev when he got pops for using a boxing style on him,) and to top it all of it's a match with John Cena. Then it gets sidelined on a moments notice of a rewrite. I'm glad he can take it the way he does and make jokey joke videos for youtube and the website about it and he's still getting paid. But that has to hurt inside.

I hope the ratings go low enough that they bring back Russo to turn this sinking ship around.

Edit: Did Russo ever have the book when Nitro was 3 hours? I'm morbidly curious to see how much car crash he could cram into 3+ hours

Russos entire first run from september 1999 through whenever he was fired in january of 2000 were 3 hour shows. They were never boring

Last time I remember seeing Heath on Raw was when Sami Zayn showed up in Montreal for the US Championship open challenge

The art of goalpost moving is phenomenal on this board.

Not saying the rating is great mind you but I'm sure USA isn't raging even if Vince is.

I think you have it backwards. It's goal post moving from people who say 'oh the rating is bad, but it's not really bad because ____'

Yes, TV ratings are down in every aspect of TV. But there's really no way to spin ratings currently being horrible into anything other than that, horrible. And it's not a surprise when they have a terribly booked product with no mainstream stars. Which is sad, because talent wise the roster is loving loaded. You have the New Day being awesome and people like Cesaro and Kevin Owens essentially completed wasted. The main event scene has Cena and Rollins. And yet, they manage to make something that mostly sucks.

I'm a giant loving smark and despite all of those guys being on the roster, the match I'm most interested in seeing for months is loving the corpse of Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar in a hell in a cell. A crazy gimmick match between a should be retired shell of a man and a part time special attraction. That's the best they can do.
