WWE Raw

I know Jeff gets a lot off flack for valid reasons (booking himself to look good - what the hell were the Jarrett days in TNA with all the mountain wins and dumb stuff), but that entire family and jerry especially deserve credit for a lot of the boom in the 90s

Chamber was a great show...crowd was off the hook, Canada wrestling crowds are bizarre in a good way.

Women's chamber match was the weakest link, yet had it's moments, Asuka was the right answer.

Any Brock match has a big match feel, was waiting for Bray to show up, but seems like their will be Brock/Bobby again at Mania.

Mixed tag was solid, the crowd singing Edge's theme was great. Solid match minus the obvious botch on the missed pin breakup late. Dominick has awesome heat, good end that protected Rhea and hopefully ends the Judgement Day/Edge storyline.

Men's chamber match was excellent, ending with Paul was ehh, but made sense, and builds to Mania.

Roman/Sammi was documentary worthy, hope we see something on the network going in-depth...it was totally the right call to have Roman win, and I think the beginning on Sammi's next chapter with the Bloodline.

HHH said after when wrestling is done right it is the most engaging form of entertainment...I agree, WWE has been doing it right as of late.

I love how much I hate Dom now. He was a charisma vacuum for a while. Splitting him from his dad and throwing him with Judgment Day was the greatest idea Haitch has ever had, but I'm willing to discuss others.

I still want Sami to chase Roman Reigns. I'd love to see Roman defend both belts, so he main events both nights. If he loses one the first night, the second night seeing him go insane to hold on to the one he still has would be a lot of fun.
 
I'll be curious to see how part-time Roman goes, like Brock part-time where he shows up 10-12 times a year, or more like Cena where is gone for a year at a time. Probably depends on his other projects.

Roman has come quite a way in the last 5-6 years...compare the difference in the heat he got at the Raw after he beat Taker at Mania vs. last Saturday. Same type of chants, but way different heat. He delivered a master-class in 'Heel 101' in Montreal.

The additional issue with Roman going away, is less Paul Heyman, hopefully they find another guy for him (Theory?) because he is a treasure and must be on tv.
 
The Rollins v Jake Paul match was great.
It was alright. Probably a bit gimmicky for me. But that's what u get with the Paul's. Flair vs Rhipley and the Usos vs Sammy/Owens was awesome. Only low light was Cena vs Theory. Kinda there. Cena phoned it in.
Tonight I'm curious to see if Gunther losses and they move him up to the Main Event picture.
 
The ladder split open Balor’s head apparently. Never got a good look at the cut.
 
That ending surprised me. Can't say I hated it. I can't get into Cody as the chosen one to take down RR. Wish they would have given it to Sami in Montreal.
Jey has to finally spilt with him to cost RR the title imo.

Just saw a picture of it. It was nasty. A deep gash that ran half the length of his head. Apparently, they stapled it shut right there in the ring and he finished the match taking chair shots, etc. to the head. He had to have been given a local for the pain to do that. The body paint he was wearing concealed the blood and the injury. Honestly wish he wasn't all painted up because that bloody mess would have given him street cred for the rest of his career.

Sorry for not posting a pic but it's out there if you look for it on the web or Twitter.

Vince back in complete charge of Raw. So if course the booking stinks again. Having Owen/Sammy lose to Profits right away? Plus Lesnar overselling the turn. Could have at least had Cody fight Solo a bit and hot tag Lesnar then destroy Cody.

Read Punk wants to wrestle again in AEW. Even willing to do a story with The Elite. First off can his ego stay in line. Secondly his body. The dude is falling apart. Can't see him working a match with Omega and not end up back in surgery after one match or significant bump.
 
Did LA Knight tick someone off. Fans love the crap out of him. So far he's being booked as enhancement talent. Heath Slater 2.0.
 
They've kept this storyline going for a long time. Maybe too long. It's about time it ends.
It doesn't make sense to me why Jimmy not Jey was the one who finally told Roman to stick it. Jey was the right hand man and always ate the most shit.
