Looks like that 'terrorist' WWE employed during the whole Undertaker/London Bombings debacle.

Okay, my thoughts on NWO.

Aside from the main event I thought it was a pretty solid in ring show. Both the championship matches delivered, especially Sheamus and Ziggler, and I really think they should let that feud run. The Christian and Cody match was also really good and is another feud I'd like to see go a month longer or so. Perhaps I enjoyed it more than most because I only watch five matches, the aforementioned four and the women's match.

And I won GRAPL!

Can't believe I was knocked out of the GRAPL tag tourny thanks to Dark Ritual. Oh sweet irony.

No Raw for me tonight, didn't get a chance to catch up with the PPV today so staying spoiler free.

Hopefully it's a decent show for those staying up :)

I'm genuinely surprised people thought it was such a bad PPV to be honest. Whilst I wouldn't say it was anything standout, I thought the WHC, IC title and WWE title match were well worth investing time into the event. Even Big Show/Cena was ok, even with the ending being overbooked. Sure, the tuxedo match and Sin Cara were weak, but I felt there was enough quality in the show to make it worthwhile.

I like how John is in worse shape tonight than he was following No Way Out on WWE.com.

Looks like we're back to the guest host revolving door each week, then.

This Brock Lesnar/Triple H/Paul Heyman lawsuit storyline is actually terrible. The continued lack of crowd heat is ridiculous.

Heyman's voice is also going to pot like Vince McMahon's...

Oh my God this is the most horrendous thing I've ever seen in a wrestling ring.

Cringing my face off. This is the worst segment of the past 50 years. Probably.

strawberry float this company, strawberry float this crowd, strawberry float Michael Cole, strawberry float the script writers, strawberry float Sky Sports for not going to a commercial break...

This show is



I realise I'm posting TO MYSELF. I'm finished. I'm done. RAW is now an abomination that can't be salvaged. Burn the strawberry floating lot down.

Oh my God they're now airing a 3 hour commercial...

At least we still have Impact and ROH to watch.

Good thing the WWE are making new NXT. No longer any need to pay attention to the main brands.

KK, you survived the final year of WCW, you can survive this... (though at least that final year was just as entertaining as it was bad - this is currently just bad)

Mediocre RAW, I managed to not skip anything till the last segment when I just flew past to see Cena the winner. I was so surprised at that. I also literally just finished watching RAW and I cnanot remember a dman thing that happened in it as well :fp:

I love how once again logic flies out the window - Johnny books himself in a match, is fired, but still wrestles it anyway

You mean how long until Ziggler jobs to John Cena.

Well that was a non episode if ever I saw one. Literally NOTHING of note storyline-wise happened. Nothing at all. From a Hollywood style writing team they should be strawberry floating ashamed.

Any viewers they won back last week will have been burned big time.
