Quick quiz: What is the correct thing to say if you're Michael Cole and the world explodes and you suddenly find yourself laying in the ring and Brock is lifting you up?

Hint: Cole tried the following: "Please, Brock! I didn't do anything! Pleeeease Brock!!!"

That didn't work.

How about: "Brock, I'm pregnant with your dinner!"

"Brock, that guy in the front row just said only bitches get diverticulitis!"

Did HHH lock Vince in a closet?

Great IC and US title matches with time and suspense. Fun 8 man tag to give the Lucha Dragons their Raw debut. Great, long Divas tag. Several pointed and well delivered short matches keeping Mizdow and Rusev over and debuting Neville. Fun main event 6 man that did its thing. Great Sheamus rrturn. And an amazing Brock angle in the guts of it.

The only real flaw of the show was that long stretch of Byron Saxton on his own. I never thought I'd be glad to hear Jerry Lawler in 2015 but there it is.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, our latest information is that Michael Cole is now suffering from chronic failure of Diverticulitis to kill Brock Lesnar.  His only hope is to build a time machine and send an army of sesame seeds back to 2009 in Brock Lesnar's sigmoid colon and hope that one of them makes it through."

First two hours of that were great, last hour more directionless holding pattern ish with the same old guys. The two title matches that actually went ahead were great. Sheamus and Barrett tagging on Smackdown with Sheamus just actually optimally positioned as a perpetually violent idiot that everyone hates could be good but damn this is a lot of wrestling to voluntarily watch in a single week

 

Ryback randomly shellshocking Big Show and momentarily stunning the crowd into reacting to something relevant probably the high point of the main, Lawler's selective hearing re: "Randy Orton" chants aside

 

Probably smart to debut Kalisto and Neville in front a of a crowd that would react strongly to them, and both looked great, although "Adrian" seemingly the latest and most ridiculous casualty of the McMahon forename cull

 

lol at Renee not really caring that Michael Cole had passed away because there was a title situation to clarify, whatta pro; poor boring Byron sitting there traumatised, unable to come to terms with the loss of his mentor (I bet Vince just didn't tell him he was doing commentary on his own until it happened, for a laugh)

Sting's network-exclusive promo was just that he doesn't know what the future holds, but he's willing to do whatever. Thus an angle with Bo Dallas and STEVE. Well, he's not retired at least. Not sure if this is better or worse than losing to Magnus.

Show started with a bang and ended with a whimper.

 

What started out as a great crowd went completely douchetastic with the whole "we're still booing Reigns" thing...

Nothing wrong with still booing Reigns, but booing Cena right now is about as non-smarky as you can get.

Bo Dallas taking the Scorpion Death Drop on the after-show with the mic in his hand begging Sting to stop was fantastic.

 

Positives:

 

Lesnar killed it.

 

Divas match was good, as was Bryan/Ziggles.

 

I heart Renee Young.

 

They gave Neville a cape, when all you whiners thought he was going to come in as Mighty Mouse. One good thing about all the Brits in the stands tonight is that people gave a shit about Neville his first night in.

 

Negatives:

 

Crowd fucking sucked. Big time. Next year for the night after Mania, donate every ticket in the arena to kids who maintain a certain mark average for the schoolyear. I don't need idiots with their Liverpool FC banners and Richmond Tigers jumpers on screen trying to be cool.

 

Stephanie was a big time negative. Unless Rousey or someone else does show up to punch her out, what's the end game with her running down the roster every week?

 

Saxton as the lead commentator has always been bad, and when paired with Lawler, it doesn't get better.

 

Rusev was given nothing to do. Everyone wants to know what's next for him, and all he got was a match with Goldust. You would think a guy who had soldiers and a fucking tank for his entrance last night wouldn't be such an afterthought today.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, if anyone is out there in the area and is willing to make a donation, we are told that Michael Cole is in need of the following:

 


- blood tranfusion
- total Bone replacement,
- Intraneckular marrow transplant,
- between four and five lungs (not for breathing, he won't be doing that anymore, but just to ground up into a paste for him to lick as an oxygen substitute).
- a new tongue capable of processing lung paste
- a car made out of gauze
- reversal of gravity
- a warm bowl of stem cell soup
- a titanium alloy endoskeleton with rubber skin (used is fine if in reasonable condition)
- teeth

First hour and change was amazing. Then Byron Saxon came out and did the worst commentary in the history of mankind, and the show slowly went downhill from there.

 

I liked Neville's new gear, and he looked good as always. That was a real strong debut for Kalisto. Cena needs a new match formula because finisher kickouts need to be put to bed.

 

Divas match went too long and the heat segment was crap. There going to have to bring up a few top NXT women if they're going to do these longer matches.

 

By the end of the show it was back to the same old WWE. I guess Brock just makes everything a million times better. Seriously how far ahead of everybody else is Brock right now?

 

Big Show, Kane, and Stephanie please fuck off.

Dude.  I enjoyed a New Day match!  I enjoyed a Sheamus thing!  I enjoyed watching Cena win a match!  I enjoyed hearing Lawler do serious voice!  It's like they couldn't fuck anything up tonight.  

And then Orton started talking to, like, Kane...fuuuuuuck.

Jesus, I think the latest group to turn on Sting was WWE Creative. Guy goes from looking like the most badass "vigilante" in wrestling one week, to basically begging for work in a promo the next week.

 

Heath Slater does need a partner.

Michael Cole has been given his last rites and his family has said their goodbyes. I'm on my way to the hospital to pick up the body and take it to the funeral home to embalm him.
