Bryans next WHC sideplates(when he wins wrestlemania again after the RR gets poo poo on yet again and they panic book) will be made of pure earth-tuned aura repairing crystals, with the strap soaked daily in a blend of 7 essential oils to reverse his negative polarity and draw the toxins towards and out of his torso. Only then will his neck/arm finally be healed.

Bryan's "YES! YES! YES!" hand gesticulations and Wagner theme will no doubt be replaced by Reiki healing and binaural audio.

lol at the PPV main events between Mania and Summerslam

ER - Orton/Rollins
Payback - Rollins/Orton/Ambrose/Reigns
EC - probably Rollins/Orton/Ambrose/Reigns/Kane/Big Show
MitB - probably Rollins/Kane
Battleground - probably Rollins/Kane again
Summerslam - almost certainly Rollins/Brock

Not much to get excited about there, IMO.

Yes, and instead it will involve both the IC title and the tag titles.

STOP DOING HEROIN

quote:

Raw remains at a low level, although it did increase from last week, with 3.68 million viewers.

It opened significanly up from the prior week, and would have shown a sizeable increase, until a big third hour drop.

8 p.m. 3.82 million viewers

9 p.m. 3.85 million viewers

10 p.m. 3.39 million viewers

So I wasn't the only one who tuned out after Bryan's announcement.

As someone who started watching wrestling relatively recently, I'm actually having a hard time imagining what Raw is like without the Authority (or a filler storyline about the Authority being gone). I mean... how do the wrestlemen know who to wrestle :confused:

There was a constant series of in and out General Managers, some great, some bad, some forgettable. Off the top of my head in the past 5 yearsish we've had:
Vickie Guerrero
Teddy Long
John Laurianitis (People Power, motherfucker)
AJ Lee
A Computer who was really Hornswoggle
Bret Hart
A constant series of guest hosts that were mostly terrible
And a few years before that was MIKE ADAMLE

just have matches and angles just sorta happen like they used to. Back in the day they'd only bring Jack Tunney out a handful of times a year. GMs are just more people to give mic time to instead of wrestlers having matches or actual angles that aren't "gee I guess a 6 man tag main event would be swell"

Foley was a face, as was Flair back when he was Raw GM. Steph was also usually presented as a face when she was Smackdown GM.

Teddy Long was also cool if impromptu tag matches were your thing, playa.

Commissioner Foley and Teddy Long were both babyfaces, and I don't think Mike Adamle was necessarily a heel everyone just made fun of him because he was annoying and bad at everything.
