I can't tell for sure if Janard is a genius, or just completely broken.... In another life, I could probably have partied with him when I was
younger.

I think my favorite part of that post is "biitch" and "hurrd."
And tonight's RAW made me realize something: Lesnar/Reigns/Ambrose would have been a viable WrestleMania main event and I would take that over
whatever we're going to get involving Triple H. There's a lot of good dynamics between the three and if it were taking place at
WrestleMania for the title, a legit case could be made for any of them walking out as champion.

And yes to what goon suggested, though I am getting a bit worn out from WM Triple Threat title matches. Bryan-Orton-Bats for 30, Rollins-Reigns-Lesnar
for 31, and now conceivably Reigns-HHH-To Be Determined if shit goes sideways at Fastlane.

I know I've been "Reigns-HHH is fine" guy, but just watching Raw...it seems like they're warming up to the idea of a bigger Ambrose part
at Mania...especially if you look at Jericho moving away from the hinted program (he's probably not losing to AJ and then getting an IC title
match).
Still stuck on how you remove the Wyatts from the equation, though it's been completely separate so far (and WWE believes everyone forgets
everything)...so...there's at least a chance perhaps they can half-ass their way into a 4-way at Mania...which I think everyone would be happy
for.
We'll seeeeeeeee

I think you under estimate the snark some of the anti-Triple H/anti-Reigns folks have. They could be told that after Reigns wins the title at
WrestleMania, Daniel Bryan will come out for the impromptu match and will get the victory...while a Diva of their choice (or Darren Young) fellates
them. And they would still be angry.

This Raw to me was just sort of the epitome of middle of the road. Nothing awful, nothing spectacular. The highlight was probably the Miz bit and
Ambrose standing up in Brock's face at the beginning. Oh, and the Goldust/Truth stuff because god damn is Dustin Rhodes committed to being the
weirdest fucking guy and I love it.
But I mean, it was nothing I'd rewatch. It was fine. Perfectly pleasant way to pass the time.

Owens won pretty much every prior TV meeting with Dolph; I was okay with Ziggler getting the win here. I imagine Owens regains the I-C between now
and Fastlane and retains against Dolph there, going on to defend against Zayn or Styles or both at Mania.
WWE priorities, in order of importance.
1) Mock Lillian's gaffes.
2) FIGURE OUT HOW TO BOOK MANIA WITH A TON OF GUYS HURT.
I like how JBL talked up the importance of winning on the road to Mania. Yeah, get some wins and you'll get on the card; lose and you'll
probably get on the card anyway through the now-traditional battle royal and ladder schmozz.
At least it made sense that no one tried to save Big Show. How many times has he turned on, well, everybody?
I don't like Sasha going face, but if they're set on Charlotte-Sasha for Mania, someone has to be a face. At least Naomi has something to
do now.
I am given to understand that one is a horrible sexist individual if one doesn't believe that the Bellas are God's gift to women's
wrestling and I offer no further comment.
They REALLY don't want A.J. to talk.
The fans aren't booing; they're chanting ROOOOO-MAN.
Liked the Ambrose stuff with Brock.
I honestly don't understand why they mention Daniel Bryan's name on TV or do anything to encourage possible chants in that regard (like
Mrs. Bryan doing the kick sequence).

For the record: Yes, I've accepted that I'll probably never be truly satisfied with WWE's current product. Let them(hell, any
wrestling promotion) do as they see fit and let the business side of things decide who's doing it "right" or "wrong".

They are handling AJ Styles really well. He is clearly over with the crowd. Miz was absolutely brilliant in that segment. He pretty much sat there
and read off AJ's wrestling resume off the top of his head. If you didn't know who he was before, you do now!
This was a good episode for the simple fact that there was plenty of wrestling content. When I lose count of how many matches there were over a 3
hour show, you won't see me complain.
Anyone know why the brothers Bo Dallas and Brey Wyatt weren't on the show? Family Wedding...funeral????
[Edited on 2-2-2016 by Frank Lloyd Wright]
After a little bit of investigation, There were reports that Bo and his brother Bray Wyatt left Raw because their grandpa Blackjack Mulligan is in
poor health, so the family (including their father Mike Rotunda/IRS) is all together to be by his side.

to go visit with him.

Great babyface promo by Ambrose; made him seem like he belonged & should be taken as a legit threat to win the match. Here's hoping they
cleverly get the IC title onto Owens in the next few weeks so it won't seem like as much of an afterthought as it did tonight. I'm not as
high on his in-ring work as others but he's a tremendous promo, let the guy keep talking.
Agreed that the Miz & AJ stuff was awesome too. Can Miz just have his own Heenan like family yet? He'd be so perfect for that role & I feel like
they keep teasing us with but haven't gone all in yet. Jericho followed that segment with a great, understated promo as well. WWE could do worse
than Y2J v AJ at Mania this year.
I'm not as high on the New Day as a lot of others but, motherfuck, when did Kofi Kingston become so strong on the mic!? Something clicked with
me regarding him the last couple week, & while all 3 feel natural & comfortable, Kofi has made such huge strides we may need to reevaluate his ceiling
because I think he certainly has the most upside of the 3.

Owens losing to Ziggler is the kind of stupid booking the WWE does. The Ziggler ship has sailed and it's not like he is important in the
immediate or long term term. Owens COULD be (and probably should be) but takes a loss in a random RAW match serving what purpose?
As with most things WWE, I just enjoyed the match and even the Ziggler win in a bubble, but yeah in the grand scheme of things it was kind of lolwut?
given that Dolph has essentially been "Ceiling'd". Unless there's a WM MITB afoot and they've got plans to build up a feud down
the r
Or they are taking two supremely talented guys and slowly building an epic feud between the two that could elevate both of their careers? I know Owens
is the Official IWC Wanker Wrestler Du Jour, but Ziggler is equally talented and both of these guys could use a feud with each other to help
themselves. Ziggler's neon personality and fantastic selling contrasts perfectly with KO's rough-around-the-edges brawling style. I for
one welcome repeated matches that go back and forth with these two. Don't you think it's a little to pull the plug on Ziggler? Shit...

I'm sorry. Is snark not appropriate here? You have a guy that the WWE has tried and failed to get over for going on two solid years against a
guy who wrestles once or twice a year and most recently (and literally) put himself over on THE ENTIRE ROSTER.
If head-shaking, eye-rolling, teeth-sucking snark isn't called for here, I don't know what is.

It was doubly awful since it didn't even happen on live TV. They made it a point to replay something that happened during the commercial, just
so Cole and JBL could rip on her during the whole match. Jesus, this company is run by fucking 13-year-olds.
Of course Vince looking like a gigantic pussy and not being able to unscrew some plastic balls a few weeks ago was never made fun of or mentioned
again.
And just like those dudes dressed as the wrestlers last week... if this company could stop focusing on stupid, petty bullshit like this, maybe they
could actually spend their energy on making sure Fastlane and Wrestlemania won't be goddamn boring thuds.
Is everyone mad here?
Of course they are, and you are too... otherwise, you wouldn't have come here.

Actually Lilian did mess up with the "Grammy Award Winning" line on live TV.
I heard it and had to rewind the DVR, since Raw had me in a vegetative state, much like The Undertaker around 5 years ago.

Not sure what the big deal is with Ziggler winning once in a while, especially here at OO where one of the most common complaints is that he
doesn't win enough. I doubt it's leading to much of a program for him anyway. Most likely they're just tossing him a bone for
crossover purposes because he's prominently featured as this season's troublemaker on that wretched Bella-centric show on E that I will
not name.

Huh. Well that shows you how much I was paying attention, because I didn't even notice it until they made it a point to say, "HAHAHAH LOOK

OMG... Sign of the month: "If Roman Wins, We Complain Online".
From the guy who had the sign: Went to Raw last night. Took a sign that said "If Roman wins, we complain online." Right before the main event, a
WWE employee flags me down. (I say WWE employee because he was wearing a WWE shirt along with giant headset and you could tell he was communicating
with the back.) He says "Give me your sign or you're out of here." I asked why, and said it wasn't against Roman. He replied "Do you
want to go?" So I handed it to him.

I just wanted to drop in and do my usual swinging from the balls of The New Day. Goddamn those guys are just on fire right now. The double-dutch
entrance is just fantastic. As is what we now know as the Stampede and Kofi/Woods' perfectly timed kick/trombone accompaniment. If they keep
going at this rate, they are going to be the de facto face in whatever WrestleMania program they find themselves in.
Also - Glad to see them pulling the trigger on Sasha getting out of Team B.A.D. It wasn't quite the epic beatdown I hoped for but I'll
take what I can get.
And just to round out the only other part of Raw I really cared about - I will echo the awesomeness (no pun intended) of Miz TV with AJ. Between that
and Miz's hilarious antics with New Day when they've teamed up the last few weeks, he is on quite the roll at the moment.
