Miz's hair should probably win a Slammy for it's performance in that closing segment.

I'm with yah. Sad thing is Dean lost to Bray for months, only for Bray to loose to Taker. And sadly Deans done the job too many times since winning the title. The guy deserves a well booked title run but every time he wins one they seem to book him worse than usual. Dean, to me, has been the most polished member of The Shield. He could wrestle and cut a fantastic promo, yet out of the three, he's possibly the least protected. Agreed 100%. He's easily the best talker of the three, and while he's not as flashy as Seth, to me he's the best story teller in the ring. If he had half the push that Seth and Roman got he'd be the face of the company. We all know Roman would be done if he was booked like Dean is, and I doubt Seth would remain as over as Dean with his push given that Seth can't speak as well as Dean. To me it's a shame how much they've wasted Dean. They should have put a rocket on his back after he got more over than Roman following the initial Shield split. Instead they booked him to always loose to Seth, took him off Tv for a month when he was red hot, and then booked him to loose to Bray for months. And the rest is history.

Wow, that poor crowd seemed really bored.
Then they got all rude during the Sasha/Alicia match and I didn't feel sorry for them anymore.

Why make your new heels fight valiantly from the start to win, while you have a story brewing with Golden Truth really wanting a title shot and being told there win loss record isn't good.
You start off with Enzo/Cass for the cheap pop vs the Club, Club wins, Golden Truth comes out after a exhausting match they win with roll up or something. Then Slater/Rhyno come out, Golden Truth wins after like 5 min, they're exhausted, Truth is hurt and has rolled out the ring. Out come Cesaro/Sheamus last, beat up Truth outside the ring and Goldust who comes out trying to help him, the belt hasn't rung yet. They pin Goldust after beating them to a pulp with chairs and the stairs before the bell had even rung.
Cesaro & Sheamus collect a bunch of heat, while Golden Truth look somewhat credible and they warm up a baby face team to face the Revival on their return.
Am I the only one who got genuinely annoyed at the booking of this match?

I wasn't shocked at all by the booking of this match. It's the same old typical WWE story line creativity that has happened for years.

I'm still disappointed they turned him, as he's a better face, but this is the heel Cesaro should have been years ago. And the one he was on the indies. I hope this goes well for him. it wont. its not going to lead to anything. maybe a tag title run or something. but its not like a heel turn is suddenly going to change vince's mind about what he wants to do with cesaro. cesaro is used as a match guy. nothing more. vince knows the crowd loves him and they always react, so he'll just be a guy who's there and wrestles for the rest of his WWE career. and i dont even think he'll make the hall of fame in the future because he wont even have the credentialsUmm, Us champion, Tag champion, Andre memorial whatever winner. Koko B Ware is in the Hall of Fame...

Cesaro and Sheamus should be booked like that regardless of their heels or face.

Sheamus and Cesaro are badass heels. The rest of the teams in this are jokes. (Sorry Club, but you've looked like jokes since resigning.) It all made sense.

The bigger issue is that the Golden Truth have been undefeated in tag team action for the entity of 2017. The win/loss thing makes no sense.

Raw dragged especially because of the bad crowd, but hey, Bray scored a ME win!

Is this the first time WWE is in the UK and they didn't bust out the tired stereotypical phone booth and double-decker bus on the stage?
Honestly the whole co-acting-GM gimmick was absurd, but potentially fun - both Dean and Miz jobbing clean was appropriate and well executed both times. From a wrestling stand-point it was very solid and PPV worthy show: Joe/Rollins, Shesaro gauntlet, Miz/Finn, even the Foxy/Banks pin-botch because it leads to a second match and maybe even a rubber match if the writers are interested in putting weight behind this women's feud. And Alexa in her iron man gear is always a blessing for us.

Koko B Ware is in the Hall of Fame... yeah but Cesaro is different than Koko. You can't look at gimmicks like Koko B. Ware in the HOF and say "well since Koko is in, anyone will get it." Koko was a special case. The guy was well known during his time and his Hall of Fame recognition is more because of the gimmick than anything else. It's a different level than any number of great wrestlers who have worked for the WWE. I mean, when you look at the total HOF class there aren't all that many "jobbers" in it. Junkyard Dog was never a title winner, but the guy was a staple of the WWF in the 80's, same as Koko. Hacksaw wasn't a jobber, but his claim to fame is and was Hacksaw Jim Duggan....he was just as popular as Koko. Jack Swagger is a former World Heavyweight Champion, ECW Champ & US Champ....is he gonna get in the HOF? Shelton Benjamin 3x IC, 2x Tag, 1x US Shelton isn't getting anywhere near the Hall of Fame. What I'm saying is that the way things seem to go with the HOF, you either have to be a legit main event champion multiple times or you have to have a gimmick/character that has stood the test of time and is looked back on fondly by fans everywhere. Cesaro has neither of those things. He ain't getting any younger...and they've already completely ed up MULTIPLE potential times to get him in the main event, because they just flat out don't care about him as anything more than a guy who wrestles good. His championship resume is weak sauce to this point, especially considering how many guys have held titles the last decade.

Thank Vince for Perkins's new moniker. He apparently HATES guys and gals going by both a first and last name. Big E dropping "Langston," Cesaro dropping "Antonio," Neville dropping "Adrian." Surprised he hasn't yet made Austin Aries go by just Aries, making him "A Single."
