Surprising how fast that Raw went compared to the last two or three weeks.

Only one Bray promo and very little Kane/Big Show will do that to you.

"I'm starting to believe" is the funniest line of the night, they've been putting Roman Reigns over as some sort of demigod for ages and we're now supposed to think he's also the underdog and just now proving himself (by losing)?

That plancha from Roman was awesome. I thought he launched himself with the ropes, but he actually cleared them. :stare:

This company.

Orton probably has a thing with Rollins at Wrestlemania and his token act of loyalty followed by him being absent in the ensuing beatdown was a pretty good idea.

Yeah, c'mon, Roman lost to a distraction rollup in what basically amounted to a handicap match (there were five assists around the ring) and then murdered everyone with cool poo poo afterwards. It was fine. More than fine, actually. Rollups aren't always the devil. #notallrollups

Is anyone actually watching The Ten-Part Event Series Dig on USA

has it even premiered yet. I've seen 800 commercials and all I know is that it's kinda like Homeland or something I guess?

I'll watch it on Netflix like 20 years from now and reminisce about the show I never actually watched.

Roman Reigns is gonna beat up Brock Lesnar and it's gonna be cool.

Brock is gonna beat the poo poo out of Roman and then the indestructible Roman is gonna no-sell and beat him up and it's gonna suck. Roman's character is now that he gets beat up, no-sells and then wins. He's literally Hulk Hogan 3.0, only he can't talk and has no charisma.

What would have put Roman over strong though would have been him winning the match and then beating up the authority by himself.

Oh yeah absolutely, I was watching in bits and pieces. There's a lot to like about what Roman does, it's just hilarious to me how WWE basically completely killed the crowds for him with the Rumble clusterfuck. Then tried to spin it as "just Philadelphia".

Better have Bryan come out and repeatedly mention about how much better and smarter Roman Reigns is than him. That'll do it.

When God invented Lycra, he was thinking about Divas matches.
The issue is if both guys in the main event need protection, then don't book the loving match. Why this is a concept that they haven't grasped for about a year now is beyond me, but it's the main thing that ruins RAW main events and either leads to gently caress finishes or no one maintaining any heat. It's completely counterproductive.

all the true greats in wrestling had great cardio. frank gotch and george hackenschmidt went for two hours in their first match. verne gagne could wrestle for days at a time. shawn michaels and bret hart had the best wrestlemania match of all time, and it was an iron man match. ric flair and barry wyndham wrestled more 60 minute matches than could be counted. plus he could gently caress and do coke all night and then wrestle and do some more coke and gently caress some more...all these people were over with men AND women...heck, ricky steamboat!

Honestly I wouldn't because I rather have a committed push than some half assed lazy even steven bullshit booking, though this main event was still better than last night's ROH Main Event
