Nice of AJ and the Good Brothers to put over those young up and comers.... what a fucking joke. 

They got the rub off DX at the 25th anniversary so they could put them over strong at the Raw Reunion, brother

Oh, and I know the reason he did it was because Foley isn't ever going to be cleared to take a bump again, but Bray should totally keep the mandible claw as a finisher going forward. It fits this new gimmick really well.

Yeah - for those who didn't see

Tonight's show has evidently been a ton of headaches. There was more than one segment written that had to be changed today because talent involved were flagged by medical from doing anything physical.  Many segments have been changed  at the last minute, and not due to Vince changing his mind, but due to things medical wouldn't allow to happen.

So assume all those 24/7 changes that we didn't see fall in this category.

I am not sure totally about Foley because frequently if folks aren't cleared they won't even let them be touched.

Also you can tell USA was pleased with themselves as they replayed RAW almost immediately after the show was over

The people clearly not pleased with the idea where the McMahons who were nowhere to be found (Heck - HHH probably didn't want to be there either)

The WWE 24/7 storyline should’ve been Drake Maverick getting stripped of the belt, then Pat Patterson shows up later with the belt. He’s questioned about it, and says “I won it in a tournament”, then loses it to Drake.

It says something about Seth, when he comes off like the parent chaperone at the prom.

Maybe "Keep your hands where I can see them!" should be his new catchphrase.

OKay, it's 5AM here and I may be a little punchy from lack of sleep, however I just thought of a wonderful game for those photoshop inclined. It's the Where's Seth Game, simply stated we have that wonderful shot of Seth standing in the ring like a Persian soldier at Thermopylae, cut and paste said pic into any absurd situation that you can think of and post the result in wrestling pics, should liven things up quite a bit as well as infuriating Rippa, so it's a big win all the way around.

Since we already just got 20 straight years of ECW nostalgia, I don't really need to see the Dudleys ever again, but which wrestling fan are they catering to that was clamoring to see SOLO D-Von? Would a mutant even care about that at this point?

Well Bully Ray (understandably) declined the invitation and they still wanted the veteran tag team specialist representation in the corner. But you're right, D-Von singles star has always made the crowd go mild.

It goes along with what others have said, but it's never been so sadly obvious as tonight that the current WWE program is the opposite of cool, 'with it' (Grandpa Simpson voice) or whatever the current vernacular would be among the hip cats. The coolest by far was the 55 year old alcoholic who retired over 15 years ago.

Of the current crop, the Joe/Roman stuff came off the best, but they could have woven it in with the legends rather than being its own thing divorced from the rest of the show. Or, dare I say it, have Austin or one of the other legends put over a current star strong in a genuine way (not in a Rock holding  Roman's arm way).

Or give any reason at all for the extra viewers to come back next week.

Shit, I didn't like the Dudleys in ECW and I've liked them less ever since.

Meltzer said that Ricochet has an elbow infection and thus unable to wrestle

So all that Seth Rollins stuff with AJ and DX etc... was supposed to be Ricochet and not Rollins

He should use the sleeper for another Waylon Mercy tie-in.

Seth comes off like the guy trying to offer the boys a White Claw

The only thing that would have made Bully Ray not being there better was saying that he was there and then just showing an abandoned room with one chair in it
