Raw was three hours of things with a handful of highlights. Anything involving Brock and Heyman NOT IN CLIP FORM. Kofi's clap to the ring. Goofiness of the Roman mouth and eye cutouts during the Bray stalking segment. Owens-Cena stuff. Closing stuff was a lot of fun overall, but went on forever. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/06/raw-6-22-15.html Screens - This fan is wrong http://http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/9f1iz4iofaw5nga71e26ovox6sldncnx

They didn't get a new belt - they just did a shitty repaint of the blue on the existing one.

Fun show despite nothing really amazing in-ring. AWFUL job with Magnus-Storm. They tease MAGNUS'S SON BEING THROWN OFF THE STAGE and just cut away from it the second it's revealed as a ruse. There's no outrage, they just went to the commentators talking in the studio. EC3-Lashley was okay, but didn't make EC3 look all that dominant. Lashley should either have something worthwhile to do in TNA or just focus on MMA - having him show up randomly is a waste of his skill and risks his MMA career for nothing. EY-Melendez was a thing. Ditto the Dolls tag. The Dusty tribute to start the show was fantastic. LOVED the return of Joseph Park, who lost his lawfirm and all of his money thanks to investing in Tout. http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/100-tna/43091-tna-impact-wrestling-june-17-2015-tv-results-a-recap-ec3-vs-lashley Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/0rbwlkv67qiwiy0to82zdy1p81btm9um

I loved the Dusty tribute again, and the Seth promo. Dean vs. Sheamus was nothing, and weird given that Dean just suddenly stopped his protest due to Sheamus being named a random opponent. Great Dusty-Harley vid - more of that filmed '70s stuff should be out there. Truth beat Barrett. Fucking hell. Dolph came out to accept Kevin's NXT Title challenge - Kevin now wants Cena's US Title. I enjoyed Owens-Dolph, although it's crazy how big bumps are on the app while chinlocks are on TV. Paige stuff sucked. Kane vs. Orton sucked. Roman and Bray exchanging words was boring and creepy. LOVED OWENS KILLING MGK! So so so great. PTPs and Neville vs. New Day was a thing. The closing with Brock wasn't bad, but it was a bit underwhelming - even with Brock just scaring him shitless by standing around and doing little things. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/06/wwe-raw-6-15-15.html Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/8xcsbuss55btsja1l3dhjk8bkne60ro9

Truth-Barrett was a waste of time. Loved the Dusty tribute - WWE absolutely shouldn't have had Renee even trying to do work when she was in tears. That was tough. Loved them having a Dusty tribute to start the show, although cutting off his theme for the MITB video sucked. Divas title match was a blend of good in-ring with bad booking and fine fanservice. Finish was unbelievably stupid though. Should've been a DQ after the clear interference, but whatever. LOLed @ Ryback's armbar, and the finish as it sets up Miz as being the one guy in WWE with a brain. Cena vs. Owens was batshit crazy on several levels and a ton of fun. Title match was structurally fine, but I'd have kept the belts on New Day. At least Titus is really good as the hot tag guy - he is a highlight of their matches in the ring. WWE Title match was a crazy collection of spots with a new finish - not exactly a good finish, but one that protected Dean to some degree. Time for Dean to go on a lunatic binge. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/06/wwe-money-in-bank-2015.html Screens - LOL @ THE CENA THE Go Nikki Go! Paige has more junk in the trunk - I approve http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/5f1dw22gpe5bse9vmit8m91tfpdz57ya

Anne Perstein - NXT Women's Champion and legal beagle.

Poor Ampersand Virgil.

Jim Cornette's rant on Sweetan on Wrestling Gold comes to mind. "He was a fine worker, but as ugly as all get out. He looked like someone set fire to his face and put it out with an axe."

All of my Mark Briscoe promo shots had ghosting, sadly - he made some amazing faces.

He's got the bright red Batphone for emergencies and/or to use as something to hide his cocaine stash.

Pimpi is 20 billion years old - although yeah, that was a weird match for The Disciples to have in their first outing. Beyond giving them bodies to take bumps, there wasn't much of a reason for it.

Shockingly, things with Chavo were kinda boring. EVERY FUCKING THING INVOLVING DRAGO RULED. Every vignette they shot of him looked cool. Ditto Catrina's cleavage. Holy Jesus - can we nominate her breasts as tag team of the year? The fatal four way was non-stop craziness, and I'm looking forward to Mundo-Puma. It's a shame the company does a great job at building stips and then IMMEDIATELY undoes the good at times, but the end result should still be good, so I'm somewhat okay with it. http://http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/101-mexico/42973-lucha-underground-6-10-15-tv-report-4-way-number-1-contenders-match Screens - http://http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/eyotykd3mcsttr6r1qg8606p21w9j1vx

Who was Cruz?

Loved loved loved loved loved Jushin and THE BOYS! Also, Mark's promo about being a wrestler half his damn life and picking an ostrich in a bird fight. Main event was a fine angle-driven match to build up a PPV match. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/06/roh-6-10-15.html Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/2i8jssm8t2gmbcq3dp8orukkq6fmwpry

Fun "Konk"-Taryn stuff. X Title things were a bit goofy. Loved everything with Grado. Well, his match wasn't very good - but his skits were. Bram-Crimson overdelivered by leaps and bounds. Crimson has good moves, and Bram has an incredible presence about him. Angle-Aries was excellent - not a match of the year, but on the ballot for match of the night for sure. http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/100-tna/42972-tna-impact-wrestling-6-10-15-tv-report-destination-x Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/qn6csrmhvnfxdwdbpxdzrafephzpx95o

Seth lost to Joey Mercury in 2015 - he isn't losing the title to Dean on this show.

This was a show devoid of good... other than Noble slapping Seth and Mercury saying they'd kick his ass. This was easily the most boring, nothing-happening Raw of the year. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/06/wwe-raw-6-8-15.html Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/okvpqix3tlrdun39jv3rxc3989od9xjx

That is an excellent paint design for them.

PTPs shirt is great, except for the text on the back. I'm not usually in the TEXT ON THE BACK RUINS THE SHIRT OMG, but they HAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to use right there and instead go with...the tag team is back. Really now?

Pretty fun show this week. Miz TV fucking ruled. Rusev - "Your favorite American song, Until It's Gone, You Don't Know What You Got Until It's Gone". Lana - "I'll show you where to put your crutch!" Rusev - "YOU STUPID WOMAN COW! YOU STUPID! YOU PATHETIC STUPID!" So basically, these two need to be kept around on-air forever because they're fantastic. The Seth-Dean intro would've been so much better suited on Raw - might've made a star in Serious Seth. Oh well - they don't care to maximize their talent. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/06/wwe-sd-6-4-15.html Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/wprcqkjaip0voye536wapfcq94kxz5rw

LOVED LOVED LOVED the EC3 celebration. Kurt's gobsmacked face ruled. Lashley vs. EY was okay. Ditto the Dollhouse skit. Lashley vs. EY was fine, but nothing memorable. Brooke vs. Jade was okay fanservice, while The BDC vs. The Rising wasn't much, but got over a finisher for the faces. The Storm-Mickie stuff got really dark with her being pushed onto train tracks. Everything with Spud and EC3 was great. Wolves-Heels III was pretty good, but not as good as last week's match. The Velvet-Love stuff is fine uninentional comedy. Main event was every other holla holla tag match ever. http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/100-tna/42863-tna-impact-wrestling-6-3-15-tv-report-wednesday-night-debut Screens - KOs http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/sra8fhfx6z27ozzuu29bicvzhnii9mz1

"Okay, we need to make this shirt about 10% more Asian". "Can we include chopsticks?" "PERFECT!"

Opening segment didn't eat up too much time and made matches for tonight and the PPV. Roman Reigns beat Barrett, and then, no it's not Christmas - STEPH AND HHH ANNOUNCED ANOTHER ROMAN REIGNS MATCH! AND WE GOT A RYBACK PROMO TOO! I know WWE is such a giving company, in part because they do such a fine job alerting the fans to every good deed they've ever done, but could they please hold some things back? If they keep delivering supercards like this, then WrestleMania might be less special. Big Show vs. Ryback will be a thing. Kofi vs. Dolph was nothing, but the six-man tag was a great showcase for Titus. Roman-Henry was nothing, and Henry's a heel again for some reason. Ditto the Bellas, who cheated to beat Paige with Twin Magic. Boy was Orton-Shemaus nothing. Rusev's promo was fantastic. He's lost everything. His woman. His title. His career. His accent. Neville beat Bo in their best of 10,000 series. Roman beat Bray. They spent OVER THREE HOURS to get to the same point we were at before - Roman is in MITB. Loved Dean beating up Seth and re-taking the title he should've won. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/06/wwe-raw-6-1-15.html Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/s8gwis0xvm3ftz7iijgwtxgwhuuo84h1

Kickoff highlight was the Rusev Loves Anal sign during the kickoff match. MizTV with Bryan and Miz was awful and got worse with the Meta Powers. Tag title match was a clusterfuck. It was basically a video game match, but with horrible collision detection and kids just doing random shit because it could be cool in theory. Divas title match wasn't good either. Cena-Owens FUCKING RULED. Cena may need more elbow surgery after taking the powerbombs RIGHT ON HIS ELBOWS, but he got this man over and gave him a ton. Neville-Bo sucked. IC Title chamber had some fun Henry spots, Sheamus unlocking a door with his cross, and not much else. Main event wasn't very good, and the Dusty finish shockingly didn't help things any. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/05/wwe-elimination-chamber-2015.html Screens - Kickoff screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/d271fs7cm6k789x82jiookrdxegdgklu EC Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/16ddbxlrgqgixpzutrb7f448onsy20u4m

I know the networks dropped cartoons on Saturday because the kids aren't watching cartoons anymore, but did the Saturday morning kid audience just die completely? No - actually, the Saturday numbers were fantastic. They were literally too good and DA decided that they were somehow hurting Friday numbers, so they moved all of the other programming to bizarre timeslots with no notice. Somehow, this strategy failed.
