There's nothing worse than when you hear your ring/message tones on TV, so yeah, gently caress that angle.

There is no possible way that they would make it a heel group right off the bat. Maybe somewhere down the line but no loving way right now.

Really? Because the promos videos made me absolutely certain they were going to be a heel group, mixing Bo Dallas with old Reverend D-Von.

During the HHH feud. Yes. He would have been destroyed for 10 minutes and the eventual SCM would have been the greatest.

There are so many people who should have matches with Brock Lesnar but it's a shame that he's only fighting Cena.

This actually is what's happening. The laptop won't be back for more than a week.

It's really dumb that they lost faith in Ryback after the crowd was a bit quiet for a longer, more competitive match between him and Cesaro, who they've booked into the ground. It's not Ryback's fault the fans didn't give a poo poo.

IIRC having an anonymous GM who only communicated via email made sense the first time because all the other GMs kept getting beaten up, intimidated (by the Nexus, I think?) or were basically terrible. If the gimmick is only returning for one week I guess it's OK, but at least last time there was a storyline reason for its existence.

Also AJ Lee cut quite a funny little promo on her way to the ring this raw.

And lastly they better keep Consessions Kane as a long running gag I was cracking up, they need to give him a little hat aswell

Luke Harper is a cool big guy who does really cool power moves. I wish he'd get a finisher that wasn't the discus clothesline though. His boot and sit out powerbomb would work perfectly for him.

he occasionally pulls out the Michinoku driver, and that would be an amazing finisher.

So they brought back the Anonymous GM because they have no idea where to go with their storylines now right?

Did they even go anywhere with the Sting angle? I kinda fast forwarded through Raw this morning so I might have missed it.

I will say that AJ's line of "talent isn't sexually transmitted" was great.

The sheer depth of the power players' mental dissonance backstage never ceases to amaze me.

"Huh, crowd sat on its hands for this one match. Screw Ryback vs HHH, let's drag out Sting and have Ryback be eliminated first at Survivor Series! That'll show him. Who was he fighting?"

"Cesaro."

"Should we punish him too?"

"Why bother? We decided to do it arbitrarily anyway."

Really, Cesaro BAFFLES me. They give him the Wrestlemania moment, then they pair him with Heyman and seemingly go out of their way to bury him, and it works. As far as I know, he didn't even do anything dumb like tweet stuff (he said some stuff about Orton and Cena but that was months later). Did they honestly go out of his way to smother his heat just because Vince thinks he had a funny accent?

Larry did surprisingly well, and I think it's because he seems like a fan of wrestling and he's actually funny and doesn't have to stick to a script. My favorite moment was when he was on commentary and talking about how much a move would hurt him and the other three mooks just kept making bunny puns. You could almost hear Larry's disgust in the silence.

dont forget jobbing him out ever since he got the US title and giving him a yodeling gimmick and lovely entrance music.

Yes. Dave said on the podcast today that he was told that there 'wouldn't be a replacement GM' and this was probably a last-minute rewrite. I would be really surprised if they have the slightest idea where this is going. Again.

WWE really drives me crazy. They get everyone buzzing and talking about the finish to their PPV, and then they give us that lovely Raw.
