I tried to type that out somehow. But it's impossible.

Best quote ever though!

"Tah...eh....nygggg."t:

They really need to make up their mind about Kane. At this point, he's gone back and forth so much between masked Kane and Corperate Kane that he's been tainted.

- We noted before that it's possible Dean Ambrose makes an appearance at WWE Night of Champions on September 21st as filming for WWE Studios' Lockdown ends on September 20th. It's worth noting that the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville is advertising Ambrose and Roman Reigns together as a team. This could mean Ambrose and Reigns are facing Kane and Seth Rollins at the pay-per-view.

Seriously though, I sometimes question why Vince goes out of his way to make the product stale anytime it's getting some traction?

I mean, it shouldn't be rocket science to figure out that with a show that's 3 f---cking hours long, you can give lengthy focus time to each division especially with Brock The Conqueror having his grip on the WWE title right now.

- More promo and ring time for the IC title feuds

- More promo and ring time for the tag team feuds

- More promo and ring time for the Divas title feuds

- Some promo and ring time for the extracurricular BS that makes it into the shows.

These are SIMPLE fixes to the product that could easily be arranged today or tomorrow. Especially since someone will need to keep the crowd hype while Dean Ambrose and Daniel bryan are gone.

Btw, I agree that Cena needs to go away for a while...Dude is like a reverse King Midas when it comes to the product. He makes things stale the second he's at the forefront and he's an overhyped heat killer.....at times

That's the problem. They haven't seen the "simple" in over 7 years now.

Good lord. It wasn't that bad.

No..IT WAS THAT BAD...**** WAS TERRIBLE

 

[Octoberist]

In order to make the other titles more credible (again) they should do what they did earlier in the year: make tournaments. Then there's stakes involved and people will start to care.

But it's so bad that I've forgotten that Big E (Who barely wrestles now) was even the IC champion last year. It's meaningless now.

Kane's been tainted for so long this is just business as usual. For me it started around "Katie Vick". That was 12 years ago.

Terrible RAW.

Whatever happened to the good old days when woman didn't need a stupid lesbian angle to display the importance of a title? (ever?).

"The good old days" are different for a lot of people but I'd say legit female wrestling died somewhere around the late eighties/early nineties...in WWF anyway. From there on out it became mud wrestling, bra and panties, bikini contests, HLA, among other silliness.

Still can't stand those Bellas. I know they have a fanbase but I really think they have no talent. Awful acting, awful promos, awful ring work. And I know there's a learning curve, but to be in the spot they're in they should be there already. All that time wasted on Raw could have went to an actual great match with Paige and Nattie...or a good Bo Dallas match....Cesaro/Sheamus...WWE2K15 footage...

 

[runawayboulder]

The Authority needs to become an actual stable now. Show the power couple, Rollins, Orton, Nikki and Kane (not a big fan of him in Laurinaitis mode, but we're stuck with it) in the ring cutting a promo as a cohesive unit.

It would be a perfect way of introducing The Ascension too, as the Authority's new hired stormtroopers. They fit in well lookswise with Orton, Rollins and Nikki.

I totally agree.

Apparently the WWE decided against the idea of a Nikki/Rollins pairing because of her relationship with Cena on display for Total Divas. Hell, I say run with it and put Cena right into the mix with a Rollins feud with Nikki in the middle right after he's done with Lesnar at NoC. It will keep Cena out of the main event picture, in a fresh feud with fresh material. Imagine Nikki slapping the s**t out of Cena then making out with Rollins......the heat in that feud would be immense.

I just saw the Bella segment from last night. Good lord, you can pretty much lock Worst Feud of the Year.

 

[sweetre15]

That's the problem. They haven't seen the "simple" in over 7 years now.

Then they should watch NXT more often or back off and let HHH general the product the way he wants to without Vince or Kevin Dunn getting in the way.

Hopefully The Ascension are better than Stormtroopers. I love Stormtroopers but they are horrible shots and often act like idiots.

so you were lucky and missed it, then you watched it anyway

 

[TheNextNolan22]

At least I didn't watch the whole episode of Raw.

You guys have got to see this video. Listen to Brie's response around the :54 mark.

Hahahahahahaha…


Niki telling Brie that she wished she had died in the womb was bizarre. I get that she is jealous, but writing a character to go that far that fast is ridiculous. Let them fight it out. Brie wins. Then let Niki fire off how much her hatred has grown.

Obviously Cena must be cool with this display of hatred.

You can tell that the writers had that line stored up for a while.

I'm watching the Monday Night Wars series right now and man does it take me back....It's ironic that similar flaws are recurring in WWE's product as they were during this time, except Vince is still too stubborn about it. It's rather amusing

Not to mention, Am I the only one that found most of the pre-NWO Nitro episodes hard to sit through?

No. WCW was awful during 1995 and part 1996. They had some solid midcard stuff at times but the main event storylines were garbage.

Glad someone felt the way I did....The main event stuff with Big show, The feud between Kevin Sullivan and the Horseman, the Regal/ Sting feud etc made me yawn and almost sleep through a number of nitro episodes.

The Cruiserweights carried the shows completely
