Worst part of Bayley/Alexa was Bayley doing that crap where she stares at the cane for what feels like five minutes. Then she manages to not hit Alexa once and get pinned.Alexa has not gotten one person over since her push began.  Minus Naomi, women are less over after working with her. 

Main event has its moments, But I have seen 2000 era Hardcore matches that are more extreme. 

I think Joe and Bray would make a really good team. Unlike Sheamus and Cesaro who after all this time are still not a good team. Both are great singles wrestlers but as a team they blow. 

Joe vs Brock will probably blow as  Brock sleep walks his way thru suplex city.

Ooh they're actually giving us Joe Vs Brock. Smart, given that's the one match that can be an extended squash yet deliver something people want to see AND get both guys over (Brock hasn't wrestled a proper match since Summerslam).

Presumably Joe is going to smack some midcarders around for a few weeks. Do we get Henry Vs Joe, Show Vs Joe. Hopefully.

I think that point about Bliss not getting anyone over but herself is a good one. She's a midget with no offense. It's pretty hard to lose to her repeatedly and not look like shit.

You sir are a scholar and a saint. 

Speaking of people who got no one over. 

Alexa is the spiritual heir to AJ Lee.

The problem I find with Alexa feuds is that the build up always involves her telling the face that they're losers... then cleanly beating them to prove this to be the case. It'd be one thing if it was Charlotte saying this, as she's clearly an incredible athlete, but at the moment Alexa is not particularly good in the ring, so no-one comes out looking good. I mean, Becky is arguably the best main roster worker, and I don't think they ever cracked ***.

As much as I enjoy Alexa, this has proven to be true. She's a good talker and great with character stuff but the rest has just fully come together yet. In-ring, she's not at the level of dominating her opponents and it does nothing but hurt them. She should be employing every underhanded trick that she can to win her matches.

Even if Joe vs. Lesnar gets like 10 minutes, I hope it's just 10 minutes of high impact moves and intense suplexes.

A 10-12 min version of Goldberg vs. Brock from this year's Mania would work perfectly.

Funny, but I just heard about her segment with Alexa Bliss last Monday and remembered this bet. I was ready to concede then, tbh.

It was not a bet I wanted to win. 

I'll find you five matches. Not all will be terrible.

Won't lie, I skipped out on half the show (mostly because someone apparently hit a power pole here in Marysville and knocked out power for an hour - at least my UPSes survived long enough for me to cleanly shut everything down).   I don't feel I missed anything.

Enjoyed the open - as usual, Miz is carrying everyone with being the only one on the roster willing to be an actual fucking heel.  Popped for him finally hitting the D-Bry knee and wish it was the finish, but I liked the actual finish as well.

Enjoyed the finish to Neville-Aries - Neville is on a completely different level in his ringwork and poise as a heel, and if there's one bright point in the scarlet letter that is 205 Live, it has to be him.

I am not a New Japan homer, and I hate to be the guy saying "the matches at the BOSJ final were so much more crisply worked that it makes this five-way look slow, plodding and boring" but.. there you go.  I'm glad Joe went over but it's not like he's beating Brock, and after Brock v. Ambrose was a complete and utter disappointment on all levels, I don't expect this to suddenly change.  I hope I'm wrong and we get Brock v. Joe as the second coming of Frye-Takayama.

I gave up on the RAW's women's division a long time ago

I gave up on RAW pretty much since the shakeup

Best decision I have made in awhile was not watching a second of this show

Big LOLS at the first photo on f4wonIine.com

 

Fuckin' TNA.

I thought it was interesting that Kurt Angle on the pre-show put over how great Samoa Joe was and that he was one of his toughest opponent ever.   I wonder how many people watching that thought "holy shit Kurt Angle wrestled Samoa Joe when did that happen"  :lol:
