The best part of the Xavier Woods appearance was that he literally just appeared in the middle of the ring, microphone in hand without anyone noticing or acknowledging it. I kind of hope that becomes his gimmick, where anytime a black wrestler loses a match, he magically shows up and cuts a promo.

you saw the white suit didn't you?

Xavier Woods is God.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
1) That was a goddamn amazing Raw, and the pacing was perfect. I especially love how they undersold the start of the Steph getting arrested angle as sort of happening while nobody was looking during the musical performance. I was actually fast forwarding throuhg all of that because, y'know, gently caress Flo-rida, and noticing "wait, this isn't right, they're not going to commercial, why are guys in suits arguing with Steph" was a cool shock.

2) If Miz is gonna go all Johnny Cage -- and he absolutely should -- do it 100%, man. Get THE MIZ tattooed on your chest and start dropping headshots on dudes after you pin them.

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
I'd give Miz a pass on a lot of his awfulness if he started doing the splits and nutshotting people.

I brought this up in the Raw thread, but why did they go through the trouble of putting Kane's mask back on him if he's still going to be a corporate stooge?

I really don't get it. I feel like he'd be better in his role if he just stuck with the babyhair slacks look and then got the mask back when he was ready to break free from the group.

Meltzer also talked about how the Punk/WWE situation is still really weird and they are very, very unhappy with how it's gone down and how he's been acting since his contract expired. Sounds like something legal may be going down.

Yeah there's nothing very demonic about him now. They should've put him in a 'Corporate Mankind' sort of attire if this was the direction they were going in.

Kane had become a pathetic mook since reigning in his darker impulses and they needed him to regain his fire to end Bryan's reign, so they gave him back the mask and reawoke "the Demon." He's essentially become their leashed demon since Wrestlemania. But now, the Demon's getting tired of being on the leash.

Makes sense to me.

Ahh okay, that was it. I couldn't remember why he got the mask back in the first place, I just remember them putting it backstage in a glass museum case and repeating IT IS COMPLETELY SECURE over and over.

God that was all so dumb, so it fits perfectly into Kane's career.

I'm pretty sure that 100% of the reason he was maskless in the first place is "hey guys I'm launching my insurance company could I look a little more respectable on TV for a while?" Postiting this as the biggest Kane mark on the forums, no disrespect to Clifford the Big Red Dog Machine.

I thought he was maskless because it was hard to breath in it so he just decided not to wear it anymore? Swear I've seen that reason before somewhere.
