Steph is the worst on screen character. She brings down the entire product.

Braun is my guy. If Gillberg isn't in the rumble i'll never watch wwe again

If it wasn't for Corbin entering the rumble, I wouldn't even be sure that Smackdown was going to be in it. I like how Shawn only listed off Raw guys as possible winners and the Undertaker announces he's entering it on Raw.

Because it was a Raw. They only brought Taker back to mitigate the ratings slaughter vs. the National Championship Game.

But even when he is booked with a ring general there is nothing that makes me care that it is a Roman match. Nothing makes me want to watch Roman.
in both of roman reigns' wrestlemania main events, the matches would have been just as good if roman reigns were replaced with a pile of wood

I can also see them milking Taker's decision whether to face Roman or Cena for their titles, and with the reports of the internal debates on whether to do the Cena/Taker dream match or have Roman/Taker and get Reigns put over before Taker's body breaks completely. It would be the first time in forever the decision wouldn't be a foregone conclusion.

And then they make it a triple threat and Roman goes over

I look up some rumble statistics and apparently Roman was last year's iron man instead of Jericho since all the time he was napping in the back counted as being in the rumble. I found it funny that announcers hyped up how long AJ was in the match when Jericho lasted like twice as long.

Another funny stat, Mark Henry and Jack Swagger won a chance to be in the rumble during a preshow match. Henry lasted 28 seconds, Jack lasted 15.

Reading the recap, I think I picked a pretty good night to make the "if Steph or Roman shows up in the first 15 minutes, I'm leaving, otherwise I will pay full attention" bet. Maybe I'll do that every week.

Which probably means I never watch RAW again

(edit) I never get to watch SD on the early stream because of other stuff going on Tuesdays, but at least it's good enough that I don't need the GDT to survive it

I finished FFXV with raw on in the background. I wish I went on a cool road trip with Rusev as Gladio, Owens as Ignis, and Ellsworth as Prompto. I'm Roman Reigns IRL so we're all set on that one

The Undertaker came out and said nobody tells him what to do and he can go on whatever show he wants, so after he wins the Rumble, he'll fight for whichever belt he drat well pleases. Who cares about rules or logical booking or anything like that.

the last time i got nashville hot chicken it was basically 3-4 tenders with the hot chicken sauce draped over it so worst case im sure i can bullshit my way to it, so i'll just buy some cheese and whatnot and adapt if the Nightmare Scenario comes.

yeah thats the main problem w/ the nashville hot chicken is that it comes in a different shape than standard or 'underground' double downs that kfc serves so it ends up being a bit of a mess even if you con your way into one especially w/ the 2 sauces and cheese mixing and dripping
