Pretty good with surprises tonight. I swear to Golly! if Benoit comes out and all that nonsense was a work...
ETA: Pauly D. shoulda said the BOO in 23-2.
ETA2: I stand corrected. No offense Barf Longdong, but that's an anti-surprise.

Chris Jericho referred to his Canadian fans as the Friends of Jericho, but wouldn't they be the Buddies of Jericho, or at least the Fwiends of
Jericho?

Fantasy booking that's probably not gonna happen: Balor replaces Jericho as Rollins' partner tonight, but then turns on Rollins and aligns
with Owens and Joe as revenge for Rollins putting him on the shelf for six months.

Two questions:
1) Who is the NuInterview lady whut looks like Dana Brooke and Renee had a baby because she looks like Dana and she sounds like Renee? Her hair is
brunette because of the friction from the scissoring. Duh.
2) Who is the Parkinson's addled cameraman whut's filming Jericho because I'm getting seasick watching him sway
'dynamically' back and forth.

Man, I wouldn't go getting your hopes up for Finn Balor as the mystery partner to begin with, as long as there's a chance it might be Sami
Zayn. Who would be perfectly fine, of course, unless you've already got your heart set on Balor.
My money's on R-Truth.

I thought Sami was going to be fighting Jinder tonight?

I'm a wee bit sad that they didn't just say fuck it and throw Nakamura onto RAM as I still don't get around to watching much SD, but
I'll accept some Balor.
You did it, Nibbles. Now chew through my ball sack.

Hope you didn't put much money on that!
Great to see Balor back, though I was hoping he'd be in the full paint.. he's giving me heel vibes all over..

I don't even know where the possible "Balor's going heel" rumors came from. The dude is about as much of a pure babyface as they have
right now.

Brock is Brock.
Roman is...Roman.
Sami is...a guy they like to move up and down the card to fill spots.
Seth is...not really over as a face.
Not saying they won't turn Balor eventually...but he's pretty much RAW's #1 face at the moment.
Although AJ (post trade) or Owens could fill that role with a turn.

Bummer aboot Roman. He does have the chops and the right attitude, but for whatever reason that exists solely in Vince's mind, we get the
ReBOOOO version instead.

Wow..that has to be it for Goldberg. I don't wanna see him back in the ring again, not just because he's over 50, but because it would
tarnish that perfect moment just now, that's how you say goodbye to the fans.

I dunno the answer to Q2, but Q1 is
Charly Caruso. She's one of those sporty-reporter types, just like Renee sorta-was.

Huh. The segment setting up that match must not have been very memorable, for some reason.

We can complain all we want about Roman Reigns, but the fact is that Vince and Co. are solidly behind him and things aren't going to change any
time soon:
�People can look at Roman Reigns and say, �The failed attempt that is Roman Reigns,� but Roman Reigns sells tickets,� said Levesque. �Roman Reigns
gets one of the loudest reactions every night, whether that reaction is a boo or whether that reaction is a cheer. The fans who say, �I don�t
understand why they don�t turn Roman Reigns heel!� Isn�t he already?�If you believe what you believe, and you�re saying, �How can they not turn him
heel? There is 70 percent of the crowd booing him out of the building!� If that�s your belief, then isn�t he already the biggest heel we have? If 70
percent of that crowd is booing him, then he�s a heel. We�re just presenting him to you in a different way that makes you hate him.�

They did a backstage thing with Angle that started with Sami doing his "I over-explain everything" schtick and then Jinder coming in complaining
about being robbed from winning the Battle Royal because of Gronk. Angle then set up the match.

I think we are all over-looking the one thing that should make all of us IWC wankers cream ourselves:
Tyler Black teamed with Prince Devitt against Kevin Steen and Samoa Joe in the main event of WWE RAW.

So.... Is HHH saying that "X-Pac Heat" is a
good thing? Because we're not 'playing along' and booing the bad guy. Many people genuinely want him to go the fuck away. I get
what he means in theory, about any reaction being a good one. In practice, however, do his merchandise sales correlate with the backlash? If they
want him to be Cena2.0 (or Hogan3.0), they're going to need him to move t-shirts and foam fingers at some point.
