So is Alister just fodder now for Rollins and Murphy? I get Heyman was a big fan of his but I’m guess Vince isn’t (surprise surprise). I mean they did the stupid “eye to the steel steps” spot to him just so Dominick of all people could chase them off.

It was tough to decipher. But not enough that I couldn't report it. I'm out of the loop here, what happened? Some idiot keeps trolling. There’s more than one lately, but this one is very repetitive with it. So much so he’s been banned several times.

WWE trying to make themselves look good but let's be real here, they booked her like crap. They had her in the ring with Nia "I just woke up because I heard the door bell" Jax, didn't give us a make with her Vs. Asuka and wrote her out of the company by getting mugged by Bayley.

And nothing of any value was lost. I never understood the fuss over her - even going back to the NXT days, or that silly figure of hers. Decent enough in the ring - and obviously English isn't her first language, but unlike Asuka, she's got no presence, no personality, no star quality... nothing. She's better off back in Japan, or wherever the she's going. If she ends up in the "land of milk and honey", at Daily's Place though, in that piss-poor excuse for a women's division, then more fool her.

Decent enough in the ring!?! She's literally one of the best female wrestlers in the entire world. Couldn't care less, tbh. She's boring and bland as , to me. I have no major complaints. But I will say Nia just doesn’t interest me, but I do like the thought of Baszler taking her out at SS. I like that Drew won. I feared Orton would cost him the match. But WWE has done a great job at making McIntyre legit, no need to waste it on Dolph. Orton vs McIntyre is probably the biggest match they could make on RAW. They’ve built both guys up for months, so it should be good. I’m not ready for Drew to lose the title yet. I didn’t mind the finish to Asuka and Sasha. Makes Asuka look like her friendship meant more than the title. So now we can get a rematch and an unleashed Asuka. I miss Apollo. His feud with MVP was picking up and now we wait. Ali vs Lashley was good. 3 team tag match was too. Really like Murphy getting a win. But I’m just a “WWE shill” and a “WWE mouth-breather” so what do I know? I'd much rather be a WWE shill/mouth-breather, than the alternative...

Is all this Bayley/Banks rubbish, just building up to their break-up, that most people won't give a about, anyway? And nothing of any value was lost.

Man I swear everywhere I go on this site... I go to the AEW section, we get trolls who come in just to crap on it, and there's crapping on this stuff instead of just talking about AEW. I go to this section, people crapping on this, and then people crapping all over AEW when it wasn't even part of the bloody conversation here either. Go to NXT, thankfully it's mostly good there but still happens. Tried posting in the impact thread, whoops more unnecessarily negative comments there. What is it with this place and some great misunderstanding that constant complaining about every promotion is not constructive criticism, or an 'opinion', it's just ruining other peoples enjoyment. I don't watch his stuff, but that Wrestling with (W)regret dude on youtube has it right. Like what you like, and don't be a dick. It doesn't make you edgy to crap on the stuff you pretend to enjoy, or to go crap on the stuff you don't enjoy to try to appear somehow superior like you're somehow connected to the promotion you 'stan'. (Did I use that right? I still don't understand this 'stan' lingo. That sure sounds like it's in context though). There's a huge difference between constructive criticism, or even just not enjoying something and saying that, and just being a jerk. "But mah free speech".... No.... Just don't be a jerk, it's not hard. It's actually remarkably easy most of the time. Anyways, marino13 after your review I tried actually watching this episode tonight. I was pretty impressed all things considered. Couple parts I didn't enjoy, but that was a significant improvement over the RAW I stopped watching last fall. I wasn't expecting the best episode ever, but that's exactly why I picked this one. Yours and other reviews suggested it was pretty solid, but nothing insane like episode of the year. Figured if I was going to evaluate fairly that was the type of episode I should be looking for. Honestly the most distracting things were the robotic fake crowd and michael cole as usual. The crowd can work great, but ya gotta just let them be themselves instead of sounding like a laugh track in a comedy show. I also heard a lot less banging on the plexiglass tonight compared to NXT episodes. I liked the banging, it upped the noise but didn't sound fake and choreographed. I enjoyed the triple threat a lot, but I really like all 6 of those guys and Zelina so it'd be hard not to. Honestly every company in the world should be learning from these triple threat tag matches where all 3 teams are always legal. It makes so much sense I don't know why it's ever done the other way. No one does triple threat singles matches where 1 guy has to wait to tag himself in. I hope they include all 3 brands at survivor series again, and we can somehow swing Robert Stone interacting with Zelina Vega. That is lightning in a bottle waiting to happen. I know from reading recaps that Cedric/Ricochet have been teaming for a bit now. Hopefully they can become a real mainstay in that division. Ricochet is one of the most talented people in the entire company, but dear god do NOT give that man a microphone. I'm a huge ricochet fan from all his new japan stuff, but he might be the single worst promo in this entire company, and that's really saying something. Keeping him in a tag team can hopefully make him speaking less necessary. He deserves to succeed big in this company, but unless they're gonna give him a heyman, this seems like the next best option. I'm a huge Sasha fan, and as much as I love Asuka, I was pretty happy with that finish. Makes me want to watch Friday to see if the inverse happens. I.e. Sasha tries to pull the same trick hurting Alexa, either ringside or backstage, but Nikki has an insane moment like she's been hinting towards and doesn't go for the save and Bayley drops her title. I really love the Alexa/Nikki combo and want it to keep going, but perhaps they can make up and have that finish to the match. I gotta think that based on Charlotte's timeline, the plan could be for Charlotte vs. Sasha at Summerslam, so Sasha can finally retain at a PPV, and over Charlotte would make the most sense in terms of re-writing Sasha's history. Plus given that everyone assumes the story is LOLFLAIRWINS, that could be a good twist. Match itself was good too, I'd call it relatively equivalent to the PPV match, which was pretty strong as well. There's a reason whenever the women get asked, they all say they want to work with Sasha the most. Murphy/Carillo was strong, and I dug the El Salvador vibes coming from Humberto. I assume they're building towards another Aleister/Murphy match. Would be good to get a title involved in that rivalry too though. Those two can go back and forth for years, but give 'em something to put on the line. (and for the love of god, not an eye). Doesn't even have to be the big one, those two are talented enough to keep that feud going for years without it needing to be for the big title. I still can't stand Dolph. I get why people dig him, but he's never been for me. All things considered it was fine there, he's just not my guy to watch. Only things I didn't really care for were Nia/Baszler, I'd rather see Shayna vs. literally anybody else personally, and Ali/Lashley. Ali just started showing up again, sad to see him rag dolled. At least Shayna's back on tv. it's funny to me now seeing people clamoring for her to get a push, when everyone was seemingly miserable during her NXT dominance. (which I actually liked. I still wear my QoS shirt every takeover) I think I'll try Smackdown on Friday. This was a pleasant surprise from what I was used to 8 months ago. Lots of young talent that I loved in NXT, and the in ring stuff felt more natural than it usually does on the main roster. Promo's didn't exactly light the world on fire for me, but without live mics that's really difficult.

Hopefully McIntyre is just keeping Orton busy for a bit while Edge is out. I wouldn't even have too many complaints if he was the one to dethrone McIntyre but Survivor Series at the VERY earliest.

Its like they're trying to get people to not watch at this point. So true, the ratings don't lie either. We don't want more of Sasha Banks and Bayley, they are on Raw, SmackDown, and sometimes NXT, Bayley's voice annoys me to tenth degree and Sasha "Boos" gimmick is tired and blah. She ripped off her own cousin's gimmick, Now they have all the main roster women's titles and Bayley said on a WWE.com backstage video that one of them need to win the NXT Women's Championship. No thank you sometimes less is more but with them less is less. Vince McMahon and creative is why ratings are bad and nobody wants to watch anymore and turn to companies like AEW, Impact Wrestling, New Japan Pro Wrestling and NWA (when they were doing shows on YouTube).

I hope she takes a break and be happy. It'd be great to see her in Stardom if she ever wants to perform again.
