Well then you'll be pleased to know that on Raw Talk afterwards, Roman claimed he wanted to go for the Universal Title now and later on Jericho and Owens told him to bring it on!

And this time he will be cheered.........

Me too. I can't wait to finally see New Day and joining the thunderous BOOOOOOOS for Roman. I don't find him that bad.... I just like to boo him. See Vince? You were right all along.

The forums turned my souring of Sasha from sad to funny. Thank you PSP. Sasha should be given an old gimmick to rework: Sasha Hopper, daughter of TL. BOOK IT!
She already has a theme.

~Who knows where its at~

Owens vs Rollins was an absolutely stellar match, that was what I've been waiting for from those two since this dumb feud started. Everything else on the show was good, solid stuff. I feel so god drat sorry for the Cruiserweights...

But lets talk about the elephant in the room: The moment they said the Universal Title match was next me and my friends lost our poo poo because the women were getting the main event. Then out came Charlotte and we lost it even more. We were sitting there blabbering about how they'd actually managed to create the Big Fight Feel despite two earlier cell matches and it really did seem like it was HISTORY IN THE MAKING.

And then there was 20 minutes of table spot selling and all the energy was gone just like that. The brawl even started off cool before they decided to gently caress around with the god drat table oversell. What the gently caress were they THINKING? And then to make matters worse when Sasha finally did the drat Foley spot and fought back into the match, we had to endure another 10 minutes of boredom because she had to keep selling like she'd been nearly killed by the table. Who in the back thought anyone wanted the first 30 minutes of this match to be almost nothing happening? And of course the anti-climatic as gently caress ending was god awful. Even if the table had broken it would have been god awful because then she would have had to drag Sasha out of the wreck and stalk her before the Natural Selection. Why didn't she just do a loving corner table spear? Roman didn't do one.

Ugggg. I'm so mad. They loving had it and they dropped the ball a way any idiot could have told them was a dumb idea. The agents pissed on something truly special. At least the last ten minutes of the match was cool before the dumb ending. I really liked that "crush the throat between the table and the cage," spot and using the chair to smack the exposed abdomen on the Figure Eight was a great idea even if the swing was hosed up.

Man, remember how Seth saved Roman from getting choked out by Rusev?

Fast forward to last night and Roman is making fun of Seth for losing a 2-on-1.

'Vince screwed up even worse because the original finish of that match was Sasha Banks going over. And why that was changed - I mean there's a reason but I don't know the reason, other than the decision was made to go with Charlotte and Bayley sooner than later. Like sooner than it originally was gonna be. Why? I don't know. Because they managed to cool Bayley off so much right now that it's like - if it was three weeks ago, I'd go 'ok go with it. she's more over than sasha' - but now I'm not even excited for Charlotte and Bayley." - Dave Meltzer

Good get it out of the way so Cedric can chase for the title; in retrospect he should have won it all instead, should have swapped places with TJP in the CWC

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Does anyone else really not mind when a belt is traded back and forth between two wreslers in a lengthy feud? To me that's not devaluing it, it's using the feud to make it more important. Devaluing would be hot potatoing it around the entire division. Building it between two evenly matched wrestlers who can beat each other for it on any given day is fine with me, because it becomes all about wanting the belt. Then someone new always comes along into the title scene to shake things up.

You guys are killing me with the hyperbole. Yes, like Sasha will kill herself in the ring. I didn't want anyone to trip over themselves trying to run that joke further in the ground.

Oh, I don't mind. My problem is: you have a HIAC match in a wrestler's hometown and it's the main event and I feel like it's a good time to end the feud for a bit.

You could've had Sasha/Nia for a spell and then tease the Bayley-Sasha stuff. If Sasha starts flagging, or gets hurt, you could always figure out a way to put it back on Charlotte and do Charlotte-Bayley

Run it into the ground because thats where Sasha will be when she dies. Because she's dangerous. At Wrestling.

I have watched all of 1995-1998 Raw.

I was being hyperbolic to fit in

Ahmed Johnson owned even though he couldn't take two steps without tripping and breaking his ankle while accidentally snapping someone's neck
