The Evolution shirt reminds me of an album cover but I can't remember it. Probably by a band HHH likes. Hey HHH wanna go to their concert next time they are in town? They're great.

Eh. It was being wasted on Ambrose and it gives Sheamus something to do. I look forward to our lower midcard overlord.

So how long until Adam Rose is in a preshow match with some NXT import with a groupie gimmick feuding with Fandango or Santino?

There need to be a couple more Rosebuds for Rose's entrance. Right now it's a decent sized house party which just isn't big enough. The party needs to bleed out of my TV into my house. I should also be sent Hungry Hungry Hippos for referring people to the Network.

It would've been interesting if they used it as a plot device in the Evolution/Shield feud. If they're wanting to make the titles feel important, having something like a tag match between Rollins/Reigns and Triple H/Batista and a US title match between Ambrose and Orton could've done wonders.

Having matches with 'lower tier' guys doesn't really do a whole lot, especially since they're secondary to the main feud of Evolution v. Shield.

EDIT: I liked the spot on the apron with with Rybaxel and Ambrose, tho. And he sold the gently caress out of the Brogue Kick.

Want a freeze frame where Ambrose's head is basically at a 90 degree angle to his body.

I had fun with that Raw but that's partly because I loved the main that much and I think I'm giddy from the Clippers destroying the Thunder so YMMV.

But again, it makes the belt feel second banana to the 'main' feud between Triple H and Evolution.

If they're not interested in making the belts feel important, okay, cool, no problem, this was fine for the feud and does get heat on Triple H. But doing poo poo like this is why the belts are devalued or perceived as not being important.

Clown move bro
I want to believe the end of the Sheamus interview was a subtle beginning to a turn. He opportunistically beat a champion who the crowd loves and who just fought tooth and nail with multiple guys to avoid elimination, and then told him "tough luck." Irish-Cena Sheamus sucks and any change for him would be great.

They did a post match promo with Sheamus where he made it seem like a big deal (and showed more signs of a heel turn) and recapped it later on so they did a pretty good job making it seem important.

I like Kane - he's in helluva shape for a guy of his age and height and is one of the most solid and safest wrestlers around. What makes his angles bad are the beyond goofy story lines and the equally bad lines by the ring commentators.

Eh, it didn't sound much different from other 'wrestler just won a title' promos.

I'll admit some of this is because my 'sweet spot' for wrestling was from roughly Hart Foundation/Stone Cold era to 2001, where you had 'top tier' guys feuding for things like the European title. If Triple H wanted to get the title off of Dean Ambrose, why book a fatal four way against 3 schlubs and Ambrose? Why not have a a fatal four way with Evolution vs. Ambrose? They're concerned enough to want a six man match against them, but not enough to personally want to strip him of the title? It doesn't make a lot of sense, even with wrestling logic.

I was going to make fun of this sentiment because I mostly remember the European title as being the center of epic feuds like X-Pac vs. Shane McMahon, Al Snow vs. D'Lo Brown, Mideon vs. finding the belt in a locker, and the Euro belt being the second most important thing (besides unlimited barbecue) that Jeff Jarrett bribed Mark Henry into turning heel over.

But they did treat it pretty seriously for the year before I started watching regularly, and then again in early 2000 it was traded around by a bunch of future main eventers. So you may have a point. It was treated as an afterthought for a lot of its run, but even the dumbest former European champions (Mideon, Shane McMahon, Test, Crash Holly Al Snow) aren't really any worse than the dumbest former US champions from the same period (Mongo McMichael, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, David Flair, 48 year old Roddy Piper).

Bryan can totally plug that one wire back in. Also a huge missed opportunity to cut back to the backseat cam and show Kane hiding. Bonus points if he was giggling.

I'm really disappointed they aren't even referencing when he and Bryan were tag champs. I want this feud to end with Bryan suddenly grabbing Kane in a hug. Kane struggles for a moment then is like WHOA as it all comes back and he and Bryan become friends again.

They should have went to a no contest at Extreme Rules after knocking each other out. Then on RAW revert to their Team Hell No days like the last year didn't happen, but for some reason they have the title. "No... I'm the WWE World Heavyweight Champion!"
