Been pretty sick and not getting enough sleep, so I took a nice nap when I heard that Raw was canceled and slept through the whole thing. From the sounds of it, I need to see this garbage after I finish tonight's work because holy poo poo, some of the stuff in the OP sounds like fool's gold.

wait what's wrong with the apron dropkick

It takes an architect to set it up, and Roman Reigns is no architect so it takes him a million years to finish it.

were you not reading the raw thread, there were a handful of people mad about that and most them were so mad they stopped posting and went to complain to their ppv provider if they bought from that instead

At this point if someone chooses to not use The Network after looking at the prices, hearing the song, and listening to commentary call them dumb for buying PPV, they probably deserve to watch the Royal Rumble twice even if their country doesn't get it.

I actually think *3/4 overrates the rumble, though I guess it was slightly more enjoyable than NAO/Ascension.

I got to see Zack Ryder get cheered and look almost tough for 40 seconds, so it was definitely better than NAO v. Ascension.

It's really bad that Ambrose/Rollins was ended by ghosts, I know the Shield triple threat is probably their biggest dream match but Ambrose/Rollins could have been sick for this year's WM.

I still laugh when I think back to people around the time of Bray's Spooky Ride starting saying that the Ambrose/Rollins feud totally couldn't be over and forgotten when it seriously was.

Really, the best possible outcome for WWE at this point is if HHH sharpens one of his shovels and just walks through Titan Towers cutting down as many people as possible before getting to Vince. Since that's unlikely, the next best option is to watch it burn like Kane's pyro when he DQs an over face.

I love that Orton of all people is held back from the rumble so as not to make him look bad but Bryan is thrown out there front and centre to look like poo poo. Only catchphrase over? No plans to ever make him a main eventer again? I really hope they like hearing Daniel Bryan chanted in min event matches. I wonder if they will even bother to give the unbeaten former champion a title shot in the next 6 months.

People stopped chanting CM PUNK eventually, the same will happen with noted not-over midcarder Daniel Bryan.

Maybe all of the weird non-endings involving Wyatt last year were leading up to his match with Undertaker?

Shame they put Bray against Dean Ambrose and 'Taker against Lesnar, otherwise it could have been billed as winning streak versus losing streak, match of the century right there.

I don't want to wish permanent disability upon anyone except Kevin Dunn, but I wish Cena and Reigns would both go on the shelf simultaneously for a couple of months to scare Vince into actually elevating some other guys. He's been very fortunate to have his Ace stay healthy for as long as Cena has.

Deep down inside, you know that as soon as either of them were ready to come back whoever got shuffled into the main event in their place will turn into a comedy jobber. Look at how Ziggler looked for a bit while Reigns was out, now he's back to where he was before because he isn't needed. They gave him the win over The Authority, then brought them back when Reigns was good to go so that he could probably kill them at some point.

As far as the assassination of Rusev goes, I can't wait for Cena to lure Lana away with his charms and just work on turning Rusev into Zack Russian one step at a time until we only see him like four times a year on Main Event and Superstars.

From the sound of it, Bryan's actually given a loose outline. He was asking if that run was better because of how he was pushing Roman out then Putting him over after, but the guy was asking Bryan to compromise by saying wrestling a little less.

Looks like he might have a little leeway with his script.

Uh, hearing wrestlers be like "how was that?" when asking about how they said lines people wrote for them is so sad.

Part of my job is watching and transcribing interviews like this and this is pretty much par for the course for anything you'd find behind the scenes in literally any reality TV show, including the much-beloved post-Raw main event, Chrisley.

Although, having seen hundreds of hours of people answering questions and shooting the poo poo, I've gotta say DB is a pretty bad speaker compared to most nobodies in dead-end reality TV. However, he is considerably better as a talker than interviewees on fully scripted TV shows, so he's got that going for him.
