I thought it was pretty sexist that the women needed "permission" to fight in HiaC.

Can you imagine that happening with the men? "Rusev, the Big Dog wants your rear end inside Hell in a Cell! But first I'll ask Mick Foley if it's OK!"

Raw is so hard to sit through these days. Outside of a few acts like new day and jericho, there's just so little going on for a 3 hour show. They really need to give the cruiserweights a full hour (just give em the 10-11 hour, the ratings are already bad so who cares) so I can just watch that.

If this got re-wrote so that everybody had to get special permission for that kind of grudge match from now on that would be sweet because any match that sounds as badass as "hell in a cell" needs to be sold like you are locking yourself in a cage with two guys and Satan and that is a big deal.

Do what many people do and play a video game / pc game at the same time. Make and eat dinner. Pay all your bills. Find an easy hobby.

The biggest problem I have with cruiserweight division is other than Brian Kendrick and TJ Perkins no one has any character. It's just random dudes being sent out to have a match. I need storylines!

Jeri KO and New Day continue to be the only consistent entertaining part of Raw. I liked the dynamic of the mixed tag match of Roman/Sasha vs Rusev/Charlotte. I like random clash of personalities, of Sasha, Charlotte, Rusev, and Lana (Roman can piss off).

Has it been thoroughly discussed that Sasha is going to break herself in HitC? Because she's totally gonna injure herself in a match like that. She's gonna be trying to "live up to" the HitC matches of the past and she's gonna go for spots she shouldn't be doing and she's gonna get hurt.

I've been thinking the same thing too. You just know she's going to perform an unnecessary high-risk move just to add on to the "legacy" of HitC

This. Seriously, you can't watch RAW for three straight hours even if you were there live and in person. Write, cook, surf cat pictures, play a video game...it helps the three hours fly by, especially if you're doing something where you can stop and watch when something you actually like is unfolding.

I usually work Monday nights so I just record it and fast forward most of the show. I can usually get raw down to an hour and 45 minutes if I'm determined.

face sasha was always bad

Good heels keep getting turned face because people 'like them too much, crowds wont cheer their opponents', but people like them for being heels so... yeah. Like the only successful Heel -> Face transition this entire year has been Heath Slater (and I guess Naomi/Nikki but all you need to change alignments as a wwe woman is to be off TV for a bit).

Maybe Face -> Heel is just immensely easier. In that category you got Charlotte, AJ and Jericho somehow during the same year they were a face tag team, Fandango, and the Usos who have all ended up better off. The only botched heel turns were from people who always sucked like Titus, Natty, and Carmella. Not sure what to categorize Bo as, somehow he turned heel while already being a heel.

Clearly it's time for heel Neville, that'll get people to notice him.

Natty is cool and good, her heel turn was bad, but with Sasha coming back and the women's division being a joke depth-wise at the time, she and Becky needed someone to feud with, so there you go.

She really has no reason to remain a heel and everything about her screams Locker Room Mom to me, so they should probably turn her back sometime. Alexa has proven she can be a great top women's heel.

I should have stated this is already how I watch wrestling. I can't even do this for raw these days. The tv spends more time muted than not. Honestly I think the best way to watch raw is just catch the highlights on youtube the next day. A 3 hour raw has about 20 minutes of stuff to watch without all the padding bullshit.

Wouldn't it make more sense for Paige to be the werewolf? Clearly he's doing everything he can to keep her under control, and she's pissing hot for the wolfsbane in her system.

Edit: I meant monkshood, not wolfsbane. I'm so embarrassed. Unless both work?
