So Roman should be happy that Jordan did what was asked of him, right?

Jason Jordan has such a good upside. It’s a shame they took away the one thing that got him over (being in a good tag team) before he had a chance to fully find himself.

I still can't get over that they made him Angle's son and then TOOK AWAY HIS STRAPS when his straps down moment used to be one of his best "poo poo's getting real" moments AND a tribute to Angle.

I don't like to prejudge but I honestly don't understand which way they're going with Jordan (nominally a face who is getting booked more and more like a whiny, entitled heel.... who then fights a great match through injury and comes to the aid of the face afterwards) and even Roman, who won the match clean but then beat him up after the match despite being saved by Jordan, and Cole sells it like it was well-deserved?

The only person who makes any sense in this feud is Joe, who is just a pissed off heel looking to take advantage of people.

Did face Austin attack people who help him often? I feel like that was something he did more near the end of his career when he was over forever.

Austin ALWAYS beat up everybody, including his friends/allies. That was actually his character, however, plus he was over to a level that arguably nobody else has ever reached so he could get away with a lot of stuff.

Did you guys not see the part where Jason Jordan sneak attacked the Big Dog first to set up the match?

Which was after Roman called him a fraud trying to cash in on his dad's status. Then they had a hell of a match where Jordan more than proved himself a worthy contender, then Jordan actually saved Roman from Joe's opportunistic attack. Then Roman attacked him again anyway.

I guess I don't remember him attacking his allies as much because most of my fond memories of Austin were him beating the poo poo out of Vince and Vince adjacent people.

The one that always stands out to me is Mankind coming to Austin's aid, the two of them working together as a team to triumph, and then Austin proceeding to stunner him and talk trash to his prone body while the crowd went apeshit with delight.

I appreciate that raw is usually light on wrestling but this really does feel incredibly slow and poorly paced. Please do things. Thank you.

Well to be fair we got a very long and very good opening match as opposed to the usualy 20-25 minute back and forth promo (there was also a long back and forth promo)

Paige had Sasha up on the top turnbuckle for a powerbomb. She did her motion but didn't actually seem to control or do anything with Sasha who just kind of plummeted to the mat with her head bouncing pretty nastily off it.

I thought the finger point was directly stolen from Dragon Ball Z I swear one of them said that. Or maybe Xavier Woods just said that.

It's funny, everybody I've heard has said it is a fusion dance reference from DBZ, then Dave Meltzer goes,"Oh they're clearly emulating Nash and Hall's finger pointing gesture."
