Topic: Wrestling?

RAW was generally pretty bad. The crowd was shit but they got stuck in a negative feedback loop.

I didn't mind Cesaro vs. Samoa Joe, but it's hard to go wrong with those two in the ring.

I am actually not angry that Cesaro lost, Joe needs build up if he is supposed to go to WM in some way, and Cesaro did not look that weak until the finish. What irks me that WWE brought in enough jobber material lately and was never in dire need for jobber workers anyway, so why often use Cesaro for that kind of work? It´s such a massive waste of talent.

I know that a defeat of such a guy is prestigious because he can seemingly deadlift a guy like Joe, but how about a win over a five time WWE champion, 2 time US champion, King of the Ring, RR winner and 1 time tag team champion right in the corner of Cesaro?
Or how about a win over a four time IC champ, 3 times US champ, 5 time tag team champion who has the longhest reign as Tag team champion ever guy that has nothing better to do anyway?

The first two thirds of the show was terrible, except for Owens/Goldberg promo.

The last hour was pretty good, but the crowd didn't give a shit by that point and had no intention of caring about anything.

I like how it took Seth about 6 months after his face turn to finally show some humility and cut a face promo.

Harrier, your complaining about the two jobbers whose sole existence is to job being buried by the guy who, supposedly, is going to have a big match at Wrestlemania that should get a lot of media attention, if it happens?

Samoa Joe just got here, so I'll not judge him yet, but aside from him, and Owens, Braun Strowman is the single best asset Raw has right now. I think people still just assume their first impression of him is just how he stayed, when he's improved in leaps and bounds with his in ring work, and his promos. He's clearly got passion for the business, and I wouldn't be surprised if he had a nice reign as Universal Champion some day.

Also, I'm now ten times more interested, and more invested, in seeing Mick Foley vs Braun Strowman than I am in seeing Reigns vs Strowman

I really hope the tease for this wasn't by accident, or just an effort to get Mick another cheap pop (why he is onscreen as much as he is is still beyond me). I'd much rather have a hardcore legend that can actually kayfabe keep getting up go against Braun, as opposed to a 'underdog' who seemingly rarely takes a pin.

If Braun Versus Roman ends any other way besides Roman nearly pinning him only for the Undertaker to appear and cost him it, consider me shocked.

It's just a tease. Foley has no intention of wrestling again.

There's no way he can take a bump again with that plastic hip of his.

I was not complaining that they got crushed, the Shinning Stars never got a chance to begin with.
It is just not interesting in any way and it´s the same type of stuff that was Big Show vs 3MB, or Reigns vs the Bullet Club, or Lesnar vs 3MB or Cena vs the Wyatt Family. The perveiced gap between these guys is just to large for them to compete in the same league in my opinion, i would have been more ok with local talent in a handicap match if WWE insist on these types of matches.

How old is that Shaq/Big Show "feud", 7+ years? I am actually ok with Big Show collecting his WM paycheck and for Shaq to appear at WM. But you already said it, IF it happens.

I just want to believe there's better things in store for Strowman besides Roman passing him by. He's improved massively.

And I've been hearing rumours Shaq Vs Show won't happen. Let us pray.

Yeah there's no way Foley is wrestling again, too many injuries and he doesn't have enough interest. I think there having him on so much cause of the supposed rumor he's being replaced by Kurt Angle as GM and its setting up him eventually quitting or getting fired or whatever. Its just a rumor so it could be wrong though.
