Putting a PPV-quality title match on the Network after each Raw is a pretty good way to get subscribers imo

That match was great and Lana is the best. She and Rusev are working a straight up Cold War gimmick and somehow making it work so well.

2Time TRP Sack Race Champion

Rip US title, conquered by the red menace.



(I get why they didn't want Shaemus to tap but loving hell it's the 3rd guy you've given that finish to you really should have thought this through and not devalued the WM13 finish protecting random dudes like Swagger)

In 1985 Dr. Strange makes a rap album.
The belt should be rebranded to be the ultimate symbol of Russia: a squatting bear wearing a tracksuit.

Problem is I don't know if it was quite enough of a draw to convert Raw viewers. Don't they still have to sign up for it, too? Have a feeling most people wouldn't bother unless they were already subscribed.

Just make a WWE Network title and defend it either after Raw or on Main Event weekly. Maybe give it a stip where if you defend it for X weeks you can use it like a MITB contract for a future PPV or something.

Nah, they're doing Goldberg with him. Build him up into a credible threat, have him job to their top star, retire to obscurity.

It's kind of an obscure scale with one limit being a line in an episode of The Simpsons. But from way back last century when The Simpsons were just getting started.

it would be swell if you're attempting some kind of wry irony, because "goggles" is just about the least obscure Simpsons quote in all of history.
