Is it just me or does anyone else find Charlotte really annoying? All I can see is Ric Flair dressed as a woman. She's a great wrestler. I just find her really manly to watch.

Fell asleep right as the Lucha Dragons match was happening. According to Wfigs I didn't miss a lot of greatness. Still have to watch the rest though. I'm happy for Nikki, still not her biggest fan.

Ryback struggled big time during his promo tonight. Was good to see Sting in action on Raw, but it was definitely forgettable. Sting just seems to have no aura around him during this WWE run, and it's hard to buy into him when he's wrestling in a T Shirt, as dumb as that sounds.

While not a fan of Nikki Bella as champ, it was appropriate that Charlotte win was actually a "Dusty finish"

Some things I noticed: 1) Ryback is Rex from Napolean Dynamite ![](http://s27.postimg.org/db9w62tsz/film_napoleon_dynamite_2004_rex_diedrich_bader_u.jpg) 2) Why is it fine for the Bellas to win with Twin Magic and no one bat an eye, but it's illegal for them to lose to twin magic? Also, Maryse beat one of the Bellas after a twin magic switch and no one cared. Dumb logic. 3) Why would you setup a tag match with Sting/Cena vs. Rollins/Big Show,show Cena being unable to lift Big Show for the majority of the match, and not let Sting be the one to slam him? It does not hurt Super Cena and it makes Sting look like a viable threat. I know. I know. It's Super Cena but the match's story was practically begging for it--especially withe the hot tag to Sting. 4) Cesaro's wins are meaningless at this point. 5) Ziggler's storyline just nosedived. Why does WWE insist on breaking up anyone with Rusev? Summer and Rusev are hot right now, and another breakup angle is ridiculous. 6) I will be disappointed if it's not Savio Vega as Ambrose's and Reigns's partner.

Yeah, in regards to mic work, we learned two things last night:
-Ryback will never be anything more than he is right now, and that promo is the reason. -If only one member of 2/3rds Shield is going to speak, it should never be Roman Reigns.
Last night was a perfect, shining example of literally everything that is wrong with WWE. It's like they wrote the show just to spite the ratings and show off everything that they're failing miserably at. For a multitude of reasons that I don't even feel like getting into right now, I thought this was one of the worst shows they've presented in a long time.

Line of the night: "I'm out here because I have to uphold the integrity of the Divas division..."
I had to actually pause my DVR so I could get the uncontrollable fit of laughter out of my system after Stephanie said that.

Raw was a mixed bag this week. Stephanie and Triple H dancing with the New Day was funny. Kofi/Big E vs. Prime Time Players was a really fun match to watch, I lol'd hard when Xavier played the pink panther. The over pushing of Charlotte vs. Nikki was annoying and the match wasn't that good with a lame finish. Seth tapping out quickly again? This is getting ridiculous.
Sting looked limited tonight, it's a great thing that Seth can bump around him on Sunday.

If anyone is wondering just how bad things are getting from a ratings perspective,
This week's Raw was the lowest rated non-Holiday episode in over 18 years. The Monday Night Football excuse isn't valid here, the dropoff is significant, even just since last year. There's no indication that this is the new sticking point, either. Every week, the rating goes down and critics assume that's as low as it it'll get, and then the next week, it gets lower. We're quickly approaching the need for WWE to consider making some serious wholesale changes to the way they do business.
As much as they want you to believe they don't care about ratings, this is a miserable sign for the company. If it keeps up, their TV rights fees, advertising, and negotiation power are going to be seriously effected.

I hope it gets worse so WWE is forced to actually push people that fans are behind instead of shoving their hand picked guys down our throats.
