This 100%. Vince knew full well that Angle's neck was never going to be 100% and that he could never do a full time WWE schedule again. Instead of simply giving the man a "lighter" schedule, similar to HBK's at the time, as Kurt had requested, we wouldn't have missed out on so many possible dream matches. Sure we would have missed out on the great matches he had with Samoa Joe and Styles, but imagine Angle going at it with Punk and Bryan. Such a shame. It's amazing to think that Kurt was in the WWE for only 5.5 years yet left one of the best legacies ever. He's had more of his wrestling career in TNA then in WWE, such a shame Hey I loved MEM vs The Frontline how dare you!?

I've never in my life seen one professional wrestler that has been this protected as Roman Reigns.
At this point, everything is just laughable at every damn attempt to get him over.

Raw was awesome from in the crowd. Angle got a huge pop and you suck chants haha Reigns wasn't booed to heavily in my area. Was awesome seeing Brock live, and the staredown with Braun was epic. Had an annoying guy next to me that yelled "what" all and I seriously wanted to choke his ass by the end of the night Also, Jinder is jacked up close! I too noticed that last night, the guy is shredded for sure - I wonder if that's going to translate into a push for him? he'll always be mid-card, but who knows, even Cole said "he's in the best shape of his life"

I thought the main thing to take from this weeks Raw was that they have done nothing to convince the casual fan that Lesnar should or could win this Royal Rumble. They've made him look virtually the same level as Reigns & Strowman now, not this legitimate indestructible monster. With Goldberg embarrassing him by beating him clean in 1 minute 26, I was expecting him to come out and take out anyone. Instead, everybody kind of just took out each other, and Lesnar ended up just finishing the pieces. You would have thought they'd of completely saved Lesnar's return all together until the Rumble, to come out in a full blown rage and destroy everybody in sight up until Goldberg enters the Match.
Charlotte's mic work is still incredibly frustrating to watch too. She seriously needs to realise that knowing how to make her opponents look good makes her even better. She's still cutting her opponent off at the wrong times during promo exchange, and I can't believe nobody has picked her up on this yet.

it kinda pisses me off that everything went down with Angle the way it did. He had to waste his entire career in "whats a TNA?" where he could have legitimately gone down as one of the top 3-5 WWE performers in wrestling history. all Vince had to do was get his head out of his ass and work it out. but instead he just let him go. and it went downhill for so many years. just ugh. and now that he's "back home" its really too late for so many opportunities This 100%. Vince knew full well that Angle's neck was never going to be 100% and that he could never do a full time WWE schedule again. Instead of simply giving the man a "lighter" schedule, similar to HBK's at the time, as Kurt had requested, we wouldn't have missed out on so many possible dream matches. Sure we would have missed out on the great matches he had with Samoa Joe and Styles, but imagine Angle going at it with Punk and Bryan. Such a shame. It's amazing to think that Kurt was in the WWE for only 5.5 years yet left one of the best legacies ever. I often think the same. I think Kurt definitely had it in his own right to test other waters, especially as during that time he'd managed to elevate himself to another level compared to everybody else on that roster around 2005/2006 when the whole Wrestling Machine gimmick took over. Plus, around that time TNA & the indy's were incredibly hot and fresh, it was the right thing for him to do in terms of becoming the Best in the World. However, staying a full 10 years in TNA is what has done the most harm. 4/5 would have been great, and then that's when he really should have come back on a Chris Jericho type schedule, wrestled for a few months and put guys over before returning for Wrestlemania season, but I feel Vince and particularly Triple H were always bitter and slightly envious of him. I'll be absolutely gutted if he doesn't at least get one last Wrestlemania send off, similarly to what Ric Flair had. However, I just can't see it being the right time for him in terms of booking anymore, unless he was to face The Miz or somebody.

While I agree with you to an extent, I'll say it because no one else has the balls to say it, but Bailey is equally horrible on the mic. You could hear the nerves in her voice as she tried to get into it and I know her white knights will say that she's playing into her "wwf superfan" shtick, but I really think she's not polished. You could tell she was trying to remember script and the poems were absolute cheese. Again it's the scripting she's given because she has to appeal to the kiddies, however it was all cringe-worthy. I have no doubt she loves what she's doing, but she needs so much mic training.

Ah, so that's the way to get heat on Bayley.
Attack her for being a fan of wrestling.

All good.

I predict that Emmalina comes out next week, and she won't be dressed in any of the stuff they show photos of in her promo trailer, and that she will be more like a biker guy/masculine character
