I don't even really hate the idea of a Sheamus/Cesaro tag team, but that was the absolute worst way to get there.

See, I don't actually disagree, the We Are Strong Foreign Men tag team is potentially fun and most importantly it's an improvement over the "creative has nothing for you" gimmick they've both had for half a year, but dragging a singles feud between them for two and a half months to that sort of non-ending is still quadruple-plus stupid.

I don't usually get mad at crowds for chanting cm punk, but why were they chanting it at a fun entertaining match and not Rusev vs Roman.

if it was a best of five do you think it might have worked better? 7 was probably too much and i'm not sure if the story could be compressed into 3

I didn't watch raw or the ppv, but I am amazed that they managed to parity book a best of 7 series. That's really remarkable.

It should have been one more match where they battle to a time limit draw and were on the verge of putting eachother on the shelf because of it, instead of a best of seven. they'd already had two?/three? matches before the series began. p.s. the time limit should have been 17 hours

I like that the best-of-seven ended in a draw because the two guys were too hurt to continue, which was expertly shown by one man having to be dragged out fighting four officials while the other one stood in the middle of the ring, calling for the match to continue.

This would have been either (a) fantastic and an interesting departure from what's become the standard WWE match, or (b) lovely poo flaming garbage crap. In either case, the whole thing would have been done with a great deal quicker, like ripping off a bandage SatansOnion fucked around with this message at 09:14 on Sep 27, 2016 |

I would've actually not minded them kicking the poo poo out of each other until neither could answer a standing 10 count, but I don't even know if referees still do that when both guys are down (outside of LMS matches obviously).

Alright so Enzo in Cass once again lose clean to a last minute tag team on Monday Night Raw. I am not sure where they are going with this whole Enzo/Cass thing but I can tell you right now the WWE is making this tag team the worst I can think of. I didn't watch Raw tonight because I was occupied with other things, but what's the deal this this Enzo poo poo. Why aren't they winning matches? Why aren't they contenders for the tag champs? Are Enzo and Cass still a tag team?

The_Rob posted:The two cruiserweight matches were really fun but man I wish there seemed to be more of an angle happening. The division is one week old. They're still establishing the roster. The title already has a feud. I don't know what kind of instant gratification you want that's even more instant than instant.

I thought the ending of the best of 7 was as bad as anyone, but a European hoss tag team should be fun for a while.

I've disliked Stephanie as an on screen character for a very long time, but her complete dressing down of Mick tonight has just made me so completely done with Raw. It is unacceptable that she just gets to poo poo on anyone she comes in contact with during the show, because she has to be the top star of a show about wrestlers as an authority figure. It's so loving tired and I don't know how they think this is a form of entertainment. Not to mention that on the card we had 2 Clash of Champions rematch, 1 Summerslam rematch, and some squash matches. I wanted to care about Raw because of the Cruiserweights but loving christ, next week is 2 more Clash of Champions rematches (Women's match is minus Bayley oooh so different). What is the loving point?

I was hoping the presidential debate would end with Mick Foley coming out and announcing that actually, tonight, on this very stage, right here at Hofstra University!!! Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were going to get a shot at the tag team titles...together!!! But I'll settle for Sheamus and Cesaro

Every time I see Steph on screen I can't help but think "Batista was right" as once again she tears into a talent who cowels beneath her gaze with no hint of her getting repercussions ever.

After watching the debate I'm not quite sure if I can distinguish reality any more, but I'm pretty sure the Highlight Reel segment I watched with Jericho, Owens, Enzo & Cass actually happened and it ruled.

The sad part is that I'm sure the 'yes you did' 'no I didn't' part was meant to be a debate parody, but we could only dream that the actual candidates had the charm and intellect of a Big Cass or Chris Jericho

Is this the first time that Smackdown is hands down the better show than RAW? I'm honestly shocked by just how much better SD is, it's a combo of the shorter time frame and the fact that it seems like everything just flows so much smoother.

I'm certain that PSP agreed Smackdown was better than RAW +5 years ago because Cena was being pushed too much on RAW while Smackdown was a place to see Edge and Undertaker, a more enjoyable heel GM in Vicki, and so forth. Edit- almost any time they've let RAW become too overloaded with McMahon drama and excessively slow builds Smackdown feels way better. Double Edit- I'm pretty sure MattVP was a smackdown tag team and that was roughly at the same time everyone loved Smackdown a lot Fidel Cuckstro fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Sep 27, 2016 |

The Smackdown Six era and Edge/Undertaker era Smackdown were 100x better than Raw. In this case it's better because the booking is competent and the show is a compact 2 hours.
