The new set was the Summerslam set because it was in the same building. We'll likely get the regular one next week.

Bummer. I liked the new set and the huge LED ringposts. :(

The LED Ringposts are the best bit and I hope they keep them for regular shows

The ringposts were cool but I feel sorry for anyone sitting diagonal to the ring. I've had the behind-the-ringpost seat before and it's annoying, so those LED ones must be like 3x annoying. Still not as bad as the Wrestlemania corner pillars that caused a crapload of people to get their money back a couple years ago.

Man WWE is bumming me out on Mondays, doesn't help that the show being bad is compounded by the black hole of negativity from the fans.

I started watching WWE TV regularly against with the brand split. I download the shows and watch with an extremely itchy fast forward finger. I can get through Raw in 70-100 mins, Smackdown in 40-70 and I've enjoyed pretty much every show so far

They didn't say it explicitly but

1) "There will be consequences" for him attacking Shane McMahon
2) If he really wanted it, wouldn't he have come out to the ring like everyone else to demand a title shot?
3) He's an unsafe worker who injuries everyone and is a jerk and unsafe, but upon further review
a) There is no one on the roster who is over/was ever over so gently caress it
b) Pretty much everyone is an unsafe piece of poo poo who can't work
c) Let Lesnar kill everyone who gives a poo poo
d) Actually Lesnar is also bad and never over so he doesn't deserve a shot
4) VINCEFLEX.jpg gently caress THIS COMPANY IT'S SO BAD THEY'RE LIKE ISIS AND WE'RE LIKE RAPE VICTIMS/HARAMBE

Somebody probably pointed this out already, but Finn relinquishing his title due to injury is just added to the long list of things Seth Rollins did first and better.

I give less of a poo poo about the NFL even compared to my current apathy for Raw; like I will only give a poo poo about football if its the last 10 seconds of the 4th Quarter of the SB with the Steelers beating some lesser team by 21 pts so I could running to TFF and get all :smug: and post "Kiss the Rings" several times.

I mean I'm still going to the Raw PPV at Pittsburgh that is directly competing against a Steelers/Bengals SNF game

New details on the Brock Lesnar-Chris Jericho backstage fight:

- Jericho demanded answers on the Lesnar vs. Orton match, thinking it was a shoot
- Lesnar told him to mind his own business
- Jericho got really upset about this and continued demanding answers
- Lesnar pushed him
- Jericho rushed Lesnar
- Lesnar kissed Jericho on the forehead before saying “kiss me back, pussy”
- Jericho got in his face again
- Lesnar held his arms behind his back and said “hit me or kiss me, bitch”
- The confrontation was then broken up
- It was still heated enough that Vince McMahon got involved and told Jericho, who was still thinking he saw a shoot, that it was a work

Raw was cool because Bayley lost her grip on Dana's head for a second but Dana kept headbutting the turnbuckle anyway. Holla.

Finn's injury is heartbreaking, and unless KO wins the title the main event scene of Raw is looking bleak for the near-future.

I'm serious that when Finn left and Seth came out to demand the belt, then Sami's music hit I got so loving excited because I legit thought the night was going to end with Sami beating Seth and becoming the new Champion. I apologize for nothing.

You and me both. I thought they were going to get real serious about trying to make "Night after Summerslam" a similar thing as the night after Mania.

Not sure which dream I have is more far-fetched, Sami winning the world title or Sami actually hitting a BRAINBUSTAAAAH in WWE.

Remember the angle where Lesnar kissed Kurt Angle on the lips? This makes sense.

Brock is the "I'm here because I love big sweaty men" jobber in real life.

I like how he stumbled over the first couple of lines like three times.

Also, Chris Jericho is the man.

Does anyone have a gif of this sequence? I was cracking up at that, and also because Dana's head wasn't even close and she was smacking it with her hand.

Well when he's scripted he seems to flub and forget his lines, like last night.

When he's unscripted, we get old school "Make it a win" Titus, so not much better.

He should not have a microphone. Or be in this business at all, really.
