Suck it
Two tears in a bucket
And then another thing
I'm not the one they'll try their luck with
Hit hard like brass knuckles
See your face through the turnbuckle dude
I got no love for you
I skipped Raw, did they actually say Goldberg is coming back next week? Because that's a terrible idea. I'd have kept him off TV until the go-home show, where they just do a quick staredown and pull apart with like 200 people trying desperately to not have Goldberg and Brock destroy the entire building and everyone in it.

Weeks and weeks of hype, a whole tournament show dedicated to presenting it, and the Cruiserweight division is already down to a cumulative 10 minutes of a 3 hour show.

Stay in Japan, Tozawa. :ohdear:

I'm sure glad Tozawa gets to go from star performer in a 37 minute showcase main event to bit part in nothing 5 minute segments. That'll be great.

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

With Mick being so fired up and concerned for Charlotte and Sasha trying to beg them away from HIAC, where was his messages to Kevin and Rusev? Does he just want them to get hurt instead? These are the real questions.

The Dean/Seth and Taker/Shane matches had some really rough bumps in them, thankfully. I hate to say "thankfully" but if we're going to pretend this match is some kind of life changing event they should at least work it that way. I'd prefer the illusion of brutality (blood) to guys falling through things from high places during a ponderous match but this is what we have to work with in 2016. Hope the women do something different from the US and Universal Championship matches to stand out. They'll work a faster pace but I hope they don't do too much and flame out.

Is it really that bad if you don't climb to the top of the cage? Hell you don't even have to leave the ring if you don't really want to.

On a side note, apparently Heyman only got through half of the planned promo before the killed the segment by just cutting Brock's music on. Kinda curious what he was supposed to say cause even without the crowd boos that segment seemed like it hit a dead end.

Mick should have called out all of the participants from the three different cell matches and had them stand in the ring and lecture them all about how the match is dangerous and is going to shorten their careers and how he was a stupid loving idiot for booking them all into it for no reason other than the fact that that's the name of the pay per view special event.

I liked that time he did it to Edge and it wasn't out of concern, it was him trying to get Edge ready for Taker and HIAC and how if anyone could not only survive it but thrive in it, it was Edge

I feel like Heyman knew the segment would go over like a wet fart and didn't really make an attempt to save it. By the time Brock starts laughing you can just see his face like "yeah, this went about as expected."
