That promo between Foley and Zayn sounds really good. Was it good? I do want this program between Zayn and Braun to get good, and the summary of that promo makes it seem like one of those "this makes the previous stuff that was kind of bad better in retrospect and indicates a shift toward a better second half," promos.

Shaesaro's bar fight also sounds fun. Rich Swann and TBK sound like they're doing a good job of hyping their title match. Everything else sounded like hot garbage.

Like I get that Sasha and Carlotte are feuding forever but the card for TLC, without looking, looks like it might be identical to a recent previous one.

Becky/Alexa will actually happen this time round and they took Cena out of the title match.

Oh and Baron Corbin is fighting Kalisto instead of Jack Swagger.

Why would it do that!?
I was reading a synopsis of Raw this morning and it seemed especially long and tiresome, far moreso than other weeks. Was it that bad for people who actually watched it?

For about 25 minutes the forums were down and I was watching the show live without the benefit of the GDT. I realized that if it wasn't for this forum I probably wouldn't be able to tolerate watching at least Raw anymore, which would mean I'd also probably have fallen out of watching Wrestling as a whole. It was pretty drat terrible :(

Also Rhyno and Slater will face the Wyatts or American Alpha instead of The Usos.

I like it when Charlotte and Sasha put on main event quality matches. They can (and probably will) feud forever and I'll enjoy it.

What makes a really great, long running feud like that is also dealing with other people. When the whole thing is literally about two people and sometimes Dana, it burns people out, no matter how good the matches are. I also hate that they refuse to have more than one contender for the title at any given time. The wrestling is fine, but as someone who doesn't regularly watch NXT, I can't compare if Sasha and Charlotte bring out the best in each other because I've rarely seen them wrestle other people.

Summer Rae and Ember Moon should be a thing because their names sound kind of like a pun and that's the reasoning for 90% of WWE tag teams right now.

The matches are mostly good but I don't care anymore. I turned off Raw last night after about 2 hours because I just didn't care about the other matches. New Day was going to win or DQ and I was hoping Charlotte would win, but I assumed Sasha was going to win due to it being Charlotte's hometown...of Charlotte.

Basically the Tag and Women's divisions on Raw are in a really lovely place and they need to fix it, and they won't bother fixing the Tag division until New Day gets their stupid record no one cares about.

Absolutely. Many of us assumed this when he didn't show up the week after he handed the title to KO.

Charlotte beats up Bayley at Survivor Series and then Sasha Banks gets to go on and beat Charlotte for the title while Bayley gets shown backstage for 2 minutes talking to Sasha.

None of that makes sense. If they wanted to set up Bayley vs. Sasha for Mania, then it would have made more sense for them to be the last survivors. Hotshotting the belt back and forth between Sasha and Charlotte just lessens any impact if anyone else wins the belt.

But I am assuming that this is going to lead to a Dana face turn when Charlotte loses her rematch and blames her, and then Sasha turning heel on Bayley.

So is the general consensus that New Day, becoming heels, drop the titles to Reluctant Best Friends Cesaro and Sheamus, becoming babyfaces, at Roadblock?

New Day have to win at Roadblock END OF THE LINE in order to break Demolition's record. So maybe.
