When I went to Raw in Brooklyn it was either fans handing them out or well-disguised employees.

Glad you've followed my lead. I don't understand how anyone could like her on any level. Especially when Becky and Sasha aren't being used.


Charlotte was so wooden and had to take a massive pause as she forgot her line.

The same exact thing has happened to Roman Reigns and Randy Orton in the last few months, not to mention countless other wrestlers. Maybe the problem is giving wrestlers overly long scripted promos.

They need something big at SS and a turn and/or Roman winning the title is gonna get more people talking than Del Rio winning. Besides, he's on a reduced schedule, if they wanted a world champ who worked less shows, Brock would be champ.

If they give him the strap now, they don't have to worry about crowd reaction to him during the Rumble.

If there's no turn, and Reigns wins, a Reigns vs Cesaro (newly backed by the Authority) title match at RR would be great. I fully expect a turn, though.

I doubt ADR's winning it, but there's a huge difference between a guy who wrestles every week on tv and Brock's schedule

The main event segment was awful. I didn't know it was possible to be so unconvincing about being sad about your brother being dead.

She cried on Table for 3 when Reid was brought up so that part was definitely real, but it sucks rear end that they decided that they had to feed her lines for what was clearly going to be an emotional promo

I don't think it would be anywhere near last year's trainwreck, especially since there's no one active that the crowd is really super hot for and will perceive Roman as "taking their spot." It just might fall flat, or a smarky crowd (I think it's in Orlando so Full Sail crowd will be somewhat in effect) might poo poo on it a little. Seems simpler to me to give him the title as part of the tournament, where he's been coming off decently so far, and not have to worry about it -- concentrate the Rumble on putting up a strong Wrestlemania opponent for him instead.

But it's WWE Creative and Vince's last minute insanity, so you never really know.

He was cheered. I'm sure someone there was booing, but I couldn't hear it.

Reigns was booed throughout the entire finishing sequence starting from the last Superman punch and then as soon as he got the pin the crowd mics were cut and you couldn't hear cheering or booing.

Was the whole match really just Cesaro doing amazing poo poo, then Roman oorahs and wins?

Roman did all of Roman's moves and won inbetween Cesaro doing all of his moves, and a couple of new things because he's a cool dude, and losing.

Sooo Roman wins against Del Rio who then interferes during the final.

This from Uproxx

quote:

According to our sources, it was actually Charlotte herself who initially brought up the idea of using Reid in the promo. Pro wrestlers sometimes have a way of dealing with tragedy by turning it into fiction, where it can draw out real emotions and add fire to their performance. Charlotte was visibly shaken up for nearly the entire segment, if you need confirmation on how badly the death of her brother still hurts her.

The worst part of the Roman/Cesaro match was when Roman had Cesaro in the corner and tried to execute a sort of 10-count clothesline-punch thing, but he was so gassed/lazy/bad at wrestling that it immediately became him just weakly draping his arm over Cesaro's shoulder a little.

All aboard the inevitably awful Ambrose heel-turn title run.
