Honestly, I can't see WWE ever giving him another push. Just like Dolph, in the past when the time was right, they refused to push him despite being beloved by the audience, until it got to the point where the audience doesn't care about him anymore. With Ryder having been there for so long and achieving so little, I think his time has passed.

Personally, I think that if it's within 24 hours of a PPV, then people should refrain from posting threads with spoilers in the thread title. Creating a thread containing spoilers, but with the thread title spoiler-free, is totally fine, given that a spoiler warning is given in the title.
I see the argument "stay off the internet then!" as just a bad attitude to have. Why shouldn't people be encouraged to have consideration for others? Why accept selfish attitudes?
The problem is that timezones get in the way of watching it live. In the UK PPVs start at 12 and end at 4AM. It's a very rare exception that I'd watch a PPV live, and mostly am content to wait till the following day. Why should I be forced to stay off the internet, just because I don't live in America? If people had just a little consideration for others, this wouldn't be a problem.
A couple additional points that I usually have to make to people who don't quite understand why it's an issue:
- Simply avoiding the WWE section is not enough. The latest thread to have been posted in is shown before entering the WWE board. If that thread title has spoilers in, then it's been spoiled without even having to even enter the WWE board.
- Some people seem to misinterpret "spoilers" purely as something that has not been broadcast on TV. That's only one kind of spoiler. If I don't know something, that's a spoiler to me, regardless of how long ago it was broadcast. It's amazing the amount of people who can't seem to grasp the concept, and seem to think that spoilers are a WF invention.
The point is, is it really too much to ask for to take a second to consider other people, and simply wait a day? If you can't wait that long, there are other days to discuss recently broadcast material without spoiling it for others who've not yet had the time, as I outlined at the start of my post.

It looks so ugly, the colours clash so badly. I don't see why they felt the need to change it. If it's not broken, then why try fixing it? Yeah red and white clash so badly... it’s literally two colors. Thanks for the unnecessary sarcasm. If you don't like my opinion, you know what you can do? Just ignore it. If you think they go together great, that's fine. I don't. Although I think they go great on a lollipop, I don't think they do on a wrestling stage. Accept it and move on. |

Brilliant news! Coach was a good commentator, and Booker T has always been embarrassingly bad on commentary.

WGE Royal Rumble 2 is here! This is the first CPV since 2013, and the road to WrestleMania 2 starts here. Tonight we will crown the first ever WGE Women's Champion! Upon WGE's return, Mr McMahon announced that for the first time ever, WGE has a women's division. A tournament to crown the first champion began that night, and now we will see it conclude. Nia Jax, Charlotte Flair, AJ Lee, and Sasha Banks have all qualified for the semi-finals. Charlotte Flair will face AJ Lee, while Sasha Banks will face Nia Jax. After both of those matches have taken place, the finals will pit the two winners against each other, to determine the first ever WGE Women's Champion. One thing is for certain: whoever wins in the final will have truly earned it, given that they will have had to win two matches on the same night. For months Alberto Del Rio has been on a mission to rid WGE of Sin Cara. Labeling Sin Cara as "a parody of lucha libre", Del Rio has launched multiple sneak attacks on Sin Cara over the past couple of months. Tonight they will face each other one on one. Win or lose, will Del Rio give up his vendetta after tonight? After winning a number one contendership triple threat match on RAW, Sami Zayn gets his chance to take the Intercontinental Championship from Cody Rhodes tonight. Given that Rhodes slammed Zayn's head into a wall after that match, will that manifest in increased aggression from Sami Zayn, to match the ruthlessness of Cody Rhodes? The rivalry between Brandon Adams and Daniel Bryan goes into uncharted territory tonight, in the form of a Steel Cage tag team match. After trading wins in multiple CPV matches, Brandon Adams enlisted a bodyguard, who ensured that the advantage always remained in Adams' favour. Having had enough, Daniel Bryan recruited a tag team partner to even the odds. That man was none other than his mentor, William Regal. With the pair forming the Yes Movement, and looking impressive in their first match against the Dudley Boyz, is it finally time for Brandon Adams and Adam Omega to receive their comeuppance? Will the Age of Orton continue after tonight, or will Shawn Michaels finally end it? After being reinvigorated after a battle with the Rock at Avenged, HBK became the number one contender in a rematch, and has looked ready ever since, especially after the Rock announced that he would be in Michaels' corner. However, after Randy Orton took out the Rock with a vicious Punt Kick on RAW, what effect has that had on Shawn Michaels' emotional state, with his close friend being put out of action? Will "the Heartbreak Kid" avenge "the Great One" and become WGE Champion? Or will Orton find a way to retain? Tonight is the most promising opportunity so far in the career of the United States Champion Jeff Hardy. With the World Heavyweight Champion Batista without a challenger, he issued an open challenge, and Hardy answered that challenge. After defeating Batista in a non-title match on SmackDown Live, Mr McMahon announced Hardy as Batista's challenger for Royal Rumble 2. Now that it is time, will Hardy realise his dream and smash through the glass ceiling? Or will "the Animal" prove too much to handle for the United States Champion? It wouldn't be the Royal Rumble without the Royal Rumble match. 30 superstars will enter. Only one will emerge victorious with a World Championship match at WrestleMania 2. Last Season Wade Barrett won the Royal Rumble. Who will win this time? Match Card:Women's Championship Tournament Semi-Final #1: AJ Lee VS Charlotte Flair Alberto Del Rio VS Sin Cara Women's Championship Tournament Semi-Final #2: Sasha Banks VS Nia Jax Intercontinental Championship: Sami Zayn VS Cody Rhodes (c) Steel Cage Tag Team Match: The Yes Movement VS Brandon Adams & Adam Omega WGE Championship: Shawn Michaels VS Randy Orton (c) Women's Championship Tournament Final: AJ Lee or Charlotte Flair VS Sasha Banks or Nia Jax World Heavyweight Championship: Jeff Hardy VS Batista (c) 30 Man Royal Rumble Match |

Amazing show from start to finish, loved every second of it! Even enjoyed the Ronda appearance at the end, despite dreading her expected Royal Rumble entry. Without a doubt the best PPV since WrestleMania 33 by far. - Seeing Hurricane's return was hilarious and fantastic. I had a strong feeling that Rey Mysterio would be in the Rumble, and was very happy to see him. I would love to see him stay. I am so glad Nakamura won. The last few minutes were incredibly tense. Despite liking Reigns, I really did not want him to win, given that the crowd would crapon the rest of the show, had he won. The fact that we're going to possibly get AJ Styles VS Shinsuke Nakamura at WrestleMania is amazing. - The triple threat was great. - It's about time, and the first ever women's Royal Rumble match delivered! It got off to a great start with Sasha and Becky. Honestly, the only disappointment of course being the fact that the majority of the "surprise entrants" showed up only days before at RAW 25, so there wasn't too much of a surprise factor, but ah well. There's always next year for surprises. Glad to see Kairi Sane and Ember Moon involved. At first I was disappointed that of all superstars to bring back, they brought back Vickie Guerrero, but I have to admit that her appearance was a good comedic spot. Nia Jax VS Beth Phoenix was pretty good. I'm fairly confident that Sasha eliminating Bayley was the beginning of a Sasha heel turn. Bayley's shock and Sasha's prolonged taunting afterwards seemed too much for a mere "it's every woman for herself". On the topic of Sasha, I'm quite pleased that she was chosen to be the ironwoman of the match. I hoped Becky would last almost as long too, but she lasted a good amount of time regardless. When Trish was revealed as the final entrant, rather than Rousey, I was so relieved. - Speaking of Ronda Rousey, I actually enjoyed her little segment after the Rumble match. Rather than coming in to crapon all the other women, she just came in with a smile, said hello to everyone, and then left without destroying anyone. I was pretty happy with that. I've never watched or cared for MMA, but it's clear that the audience loved seeing her, and I can respect that. The fact that she's apparently retired from MMA and signed a full-time contract rather than a short-term part-time contract, gives me hope for actually contributing to the women's division, rather than destroying it. At this point, I'm curious to see what happens next. In regards to the Woman’s Royal Rumble why was the winner allowed to pick whichever brand for her championship match, but the men’s winner has to face the champion of the brand they are on? Both winners were allowed to choose either champion, which was stated on the Kick-off show. After the match, Nakamura was asked in the ring which champion he wanted to challenge. |

Yes! The 24 specials are by far the best content they produce on the WWE Network. I've loved every single one of them. Such exceptionally high quality every single time. Cannot wait for this one in particular, especially the coverage of the Hardy Boyz.

Where was MVP? They announced him, yet I didn't see him at all throughout the show. He was in the latter Poker segments. Oh, so that's who that guy sitting next to Ron Simmons the whole time was. Didn't recognise him, he's changed a lot. |

Although I would never celebrate someone losing their job, unless I have a good reason, I will say that I will not miss Enzo in WWE. I always skip his matches and segments anyway.
But this is a very serious accusation, and if true, then losing his job would be the least he deserves.

So RAW 25 was decent, but definitely underwhelming.
RAW 1000 was a lot better, and I expected the same level of quality, if not even more. Maybe I just set the bar too high, but I expected far better. While RAW 1000 handled everyone perfectly, an overcrowding of stars led to many being wasted on RAW 25.
What was Undertaker's promo meant to be about? Other than just rambling, what did it achieve?
The women's tag team match was good, and set-up the women's Royal Rumble pretty well. Disappointed that neither Bayley or Mickie got tagged in throughout the match though. WWE really are wasting those two.
Christian and the Peep Show was completely pointless, with no actual talk show taking place. They should have least have had a couple of minutes of Christian talking with Rollins/Jordan. Take Christian and the Peep Show out, and it wouldn't be any different to a regular weekly interaction between the two teams.
The women from the past were completely wasted as well. Sure, it was nice for them to show up on the stage, but that was really it? I expected to at least see them have a segment in the ring at the very least.
Matt Hardy VS Bray Wyatt was great to see on the classic RAW set-up. Surprised to see Wyatt win though.
It was great to see Mean Gene, even if age has definitely caught up to him.
Where was MVP? They announced him, yet I didn't see him at all throughout the show.
Chris Jericho was completely wasted.
Why they keep wasting time on Elias is beyond me. Without a doubt, I find him the single most boring part of RAW on a weekly basis. Completely dull, and he just takes up time that should be used on entertaining segments. So it just bewilders me why on such a historic night of which there is so little time to do so much, time was wasted on a lengthy Elias segment. That time would have been much better allocated elsewhere.
The DX/Balor Club interaction was nice, even if DX reunions are exactly the same every single time.

The opening to RAW 25 is amazing!
It probably doesn't mean anything, but the fact that CM Punk is featured is...interesting. I suppose with these big events they really can't ignore certain people that they usually would.

The First Round of the Mixed Match Challenge is finally on the UK WWE Network. Pretty nice match. Both teams seemed genuinely thrilled to be with each throughout, which is always really nice to see. Some interesting spots.
But my god, does Beth Phoenix need to raise her voice on commentary. If it weren't for the subtitles, I wouldn't have a clue what she said.

Easily Daniel Bryan by far. WrestleMania 30 was nicknamed "Yes-tleMania" for a reason. It started with Daniel Bryan beating Triple H and ended with Daniel Bryan beating both Randy Orton and Batista to finally win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. WrestleMania 30 was without a doubt Daniel Bryan's night.
On the other hand, I like to forget that Brock Lesnar ending the streak happened. One of the worst booking decisions ever made that benefited absolutely nobody.
