Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

This would actually be amazing. It would also mean the return of Foley, Austin, and Michaels...and Jack Tunney's ghost (I assume he is dead).

Oh! And Mike Adamle! Adamle is ratings, brother!

A little weird they didn't address D-Bry's injury status but I guess it would've ruined the flow/atmosphere of the show.

An okay-pretty good Raw. There was an overarching narrative and it ended with a twist/cliffhanger to get you to tune in next week. Maybe it's a New Day.

Also, where was Sting?

Ok how about it without an analogy. The current announce team sucks. Larry sucking a modicum less doesn't mean he was "good" or "did a fine job." It just means he wasn't AS lovely as the other guys, but was still really loving lovely.

I mostly tune them out. I had a good portion of this weeks Raw on with the volume turned just loud enough to hear on my iPad next to my monitor while I played video games. It was pretty great.

E: I also only started watching again about a year ago after nearly 5 years of not watching, so it hasn't quite gotten to the "I can't stand this anymore" point and muting it like a lot of people do, yet.

OK, I'll bite. A few years back there was a plot where it was getting "dangerous" to be a General Manager on Raw because the talent was out of control or whatever. So one night they trotted out that podium with a laptop and had it play that stupid sound and Michael Cole would get up and say "And I quote..." and it was the lamest thing ever. The Anonymous GM would make decisions and book Raw, and then one time Edge got sick of it and destroyed the laptop which kind of owned.

They kept the angle going for like a year and then quietly dropped it, until one night they randomly decided to pay it off by revealing Hornswoggle under the ring with a laptop. Now they brought it back again for some reason.

It was pretty good this week! Daniel Bryan was there and made fun things happen, and all the heels who have been running roughshod for the last year got comeuppance and AJ said "lesbi-honest." It's too bad Larry the Cable guy came out with no shirt and made stupid Fred Savage jokes and then later was on commentary for the worst match of the night.
