Good match, but they really are starting to overuse that pass out instead of tap thing.

Just let your dudes tap WWE, real fighting men do it all the time, no big deal.

I think it works for the Accolade because it sends the message that even if you fight through the pain, it's pointless because you aren't going anywhere.

I'm so happy for Lana.

Personally I wish that Randy Orton's best friend John Cena came out to save him at the last minute, but I guess dying is an acceptable alternative.

Suddenly a helicopter swoops in and Vladimir Putin is lowered down on a rope ladder.

Putin: Comrade Rusev, you made your country proud and shown that the Soviet spirit can overcome all obstacles. Now it's time to celebrate in the appropriate Russian fashion.

*Putin, Rusev and Lana do a Cossack dance in unison*

Rusev: Mr. President, you dance very well.

Putin: Well, you know, it keeps me in shape. Come on! Everybody dance!

RAW was fun, had matches I'd not seen a million times, plot progressed and made sense for all involved and there was lots of wrestling and HHH promos. Orton is great at melodrama and Seth stole \_O__/

Also Big/Show Mark Henry happened but we can't win them all.

Rusev made my booking dreams come true :unsmith:

All ears, all eyes, all the time!
y'know, compared to the celebrity gm era where there'd be literally under 20 minutes of bell-to-bell wrestling some weeks, a show which was nothing but matches interposed with a few angle driven promo segments feels like a loving godsend. raw was pretty fun this week. orton's promo delivery is genuinely entertaining and seeing him bleed really did wonders for that finish. it helps that randy loses matches, because it actually provides for a compelling narrative.

i hope they run with the idea of the authority losing because they forced the hands of four other guys and cena is just an ancillary figurehead to tie it all together and we still have two more people to bring it together. like, in a perfect world cena would be the first guy eliminated because right now dolph and orton both have more at stake and that makes for a much more interesting story than "cena wins" but at the same time cena gonna win so oh well.

I think I might need to take a break from WWE. Because while my brain can recognize that what I'm watching is good and fun I just get sad because in my heart of hearts I know it leads to the same old poo poo. Also Dean Ambrose was getting over so better get him back down to the midcard and away from the main event so people know that what he does doesn't actually matter.

At least this show had zero Cena on it.

So the end game is actually for Reigns to get over beating Rollins for the title, not Brock. Makes sense I guess?

My favourite part about this gif is not just the fact that Gorbachev's birthmark changes sides, it's the fact that nothing else does. There was literally no reason to reverse the part of the sprite that made up his head, they just did it when they reversed the rest of it.

Also, according to various semi-credible and scoop-having sources the reason why the Network keeps getting delayed in the UK is Sky is mega-pissed at WWE for making their formerly lucrative PPV contract now worth squat and they're in "negotiations".

I was so expecting a rapadoo at the end of the night to save Orton.

I can't say I was disappointed for that to not happen.

Maybe I'm just in a better mood in general but Christ was Raw ever better this week. Rusev winning the title was cool, especially on the Network (and I hope it pays off decision-wise and they do more stuff like it), Rollins puts on great matches always, and the Authority stip for Survivor Series plus great promo work by Trips re: Cena puts the intrigue back into that match for me.

Still nowhere near enough Ambrose, especially on a week without Cena.

John Cena doesn't help his friends, why would he help Anti-Hero Orton, Number 2 Face in WWE?

Do you want to know what we do to artists?
It's a little weird that Rusev's quest for the US title lasted all of two weeks. You'd think they'd make a long feud out of that, but I guess that's what I get for thinking the title means anything.

Also, am I crazy, or is the WWE just taking all their failed NXT call ups and redebuting them? First the Wyatts, now Xavier Woods, who's next? Big E? Emma? Adam Rose coming back as Leo Krugar?
