last night i had a dream that vince came up with the idea that fans coming to shows would be confused by the lack of camera cuts and shaking when they were watching the show live in person, so he installed a thing to make all the seats shake when the cameras did, and blinked all the lights off and on every time there was a camera cut. there were many lawsuits about it and he won all of them

No joke, they'll probably bring back Goldberg, and in his first spot, have him take out Retribution

Goldberg is infinitely cooler than retribution and also everyone else on the WWE roster, so that would be a great idea

Keith Lee is fat and doesn�t know how to strike. He�s lucky they even let his rear end on Main Event. Hope the Performance Center coaches can fix him.

none of them know how to strike, it's why they still have to drive themselves to the next town

Lol at all the handwaving about MNF even though these ratings are perfectly in line with the gradual decline they've been experiencing for years. Guess we'll find out in 3 weeks if millions of viewers come flooding back after MNF ends!

isn't the main difference between the last 3 years vs the 17 prior that now, when ratings take a "temporary" dip for seasonal things, they just don't recover anymore?

Corbs! It's always Baron Corbin.

Otherwise, any of the 4 Horsewomen. They're finally doing Bayley right by all accounts, but it took too long to get there. She should have been an easy win as a face or a heel.

They also fell rear end-backwards into Becky getting over hugely. They wanted her to pick up a bunch of wins to give her some momentum for a Summerslam 3 way. Somehow �good performer picks up a bunch of wins� made the fans get behind her and she became super popular. Wild stuff. Probably wouldn�t work again, better not try it with anyone else.

Good point. She was over for so long that I kind of forgot she only got over accidentally.

She was always popular enough but between her first Smackdown reign in 2016 and The Man run they did literally nothing with her

Has there ever been a good inferno match?

there�s a decent rule of thumb that it�s hard-to-impossible to make a match good when it�s something insanely dangerous that you can�t really gimmick, like being lit on fire or falling to your death. inferno matches have the added fun of it being apparently super hard to catch your breath. but im sure a superior athlete like bray wyatt will be largely untroubled on sunday

It's amazing that Cole has been the voice of this company longer than anyone and he has no iconic lines that have broken through to the mainstream pop culture. Every "famous" Cole line is just terrible nonsense.

Eh, with extreme moments like being set on fire, it's probably to assure the kids watching that their hero is fine.

Which of course is weird here since WWE barely has any kid fans.

they apparently always have a decent amount of pre-teen fans but once they hit like 12 or 13 they leave out for stuff that�s less cringe

Raw Results 12/21:

R-Truth gatecrashed a Hurt Business in-ring title celebration. Literal accused rapist Matt Riddle came out with Jeff Hardy to make a bunch of stoner jokes.

Angel Garza defeated Drew Gulak in a quick singles match.

AJ Styles was asked backstage why he agreed to be on MizTV next given he was mad at Miz inserting himself into the TLC title match. AJ was not asked why he agreed to tag with Miz later in the show.

On MizTV, Miz apologized to an angry AJ Styles, then declared that Morrison was the one who cashed in which meant he wanted his Money in the Bank briefcase returned. Drew, Sheamus and Keith Lee came out to beat them up. Somehow the end result of this segment was questions over whether Drew's group could work well together.

lol did they have a long chat show segment, a 2 minute match, and then immediately go to another long chat show segment?

I saw Flair in person the year after his health scare and he looks like poo poo. The camera really doesn't convey how rough he looks. In contrast Dustin Rhodes was sitting just a couple chairs down and looked fantastic for his age.

i always think dustin without makeup looks a lot older than his age. like he�s had a rough life and it doesn�t really show in how he moves because it just all went on his face haha. maybe the camera is cruel
