WWF/WWE/ECW/WCW

I think the Michael Cole interview of Samoa Joe was the best thing on RAW so far tonight.

That's the most menace I've felt from Joe without him actually yelling or breaking stuff. Good segment.

Oh puhleeeze!

We follow that segment up with Sami Lame vs Rusev in a mask?  Ugh, talk about a buzzkill.

But HAHAHAHAHA!!! Sami stupidly brings up Samoa Joe in the post-fight victory interview which of course brings out Joe to beat the hell out of him.

I think I view Zayne as the male version of Bayley; I enjoy watching both of them getting beat up.

Bayley really has annoyed me tonight and as usual Zayn does too.

Only WWE could script a Jericho mic segment to be boring.

Holy crap, this festival of friendship thing has dragged on and on and on...

EDIT: OK, the payoff almost made it worth enduring the last 20 minutes.

I'm barely on the Tozawa vs Daivari match.

Do you watch on some kind of delayed feed?

DVR but I do a workout and let it get ahead so I ca forward the commercials.

Well like I said, the payoff was almost worth it.

Oh no...it's you know who...


I think the difference in the physiques of these women is striking.  Bayley looks like a marathon runner; not a muscle on her; she's all sinew.  Charlotte looks like a female bodybuilder; she's got some arm definition and definitely broad shoulders.

So I keep going back to my original impression; Bayley looks like a 10 year old girl in there with the likes of Charlotte, Natalya or practically any other woman on the WWE roster.

EDIT: Dammit. I knew it. I'm going to bed.

What makes it worse is that Sasha helped. The women's title changes hands way too often. That's how RAW chooses to try to compete with SD.

Ugh. Smackdown taking a page from the Raw (lack of) playbook.

Wyatt out celebrating his win on Sunday. Cena down to demand his rematch. Styles down to demand his rematch. Instant triple threat match.

Good grief, how many F'n times is WWE (lack of) Creative going to use this same tired, lame formula?

I think Sami's lucha libre name was a perfect description of him: El Generico. You don't get more bland and generic than him.

Yeah, on Hulu I moved forward several times. However, I knew what was coming the moment HHH took Owens aside away from Jericho.

Baron Corbin just destroyed Ambrose before Ambrose could, as JBL described, "send the tortoise back to the Galapagos". The attack was impressive but then WWE made the mistake of interviewing Corbin and he's still boring as hell.

I really can't explain it but the guy is just BORING. Nothing stands out; not his move set, his look, his mic skills, nothing. Oh wait... I think I just explained it.

You are right about Corbin but I like that he's a loner.

The Ascension deserve better.

What might make him cool is if he capitalized on the loner personality and just started attacking anybody, heel or face. Like a mercenary. You know the drill, "No one tells me what to do!", etc.

Yeah I can't stand American Alpha. But that one guy should go solo. He looks like a young Kurt Angle and does a lot of the same moves.

Good point about Corbin. I like AA but I can't stand The Usos. Never have. Never will. How one of them ended up with Naomi makes me detest them even more.

Yeah I actually like Naomi now. And it is amazing that one of those Uso goofballs reeled her in.

She's always been athletic but this whole "glow" thing just gives her that extra pizazz. Her entrance is spectacular and somehow that gimmick seems to have given her more confidence in her character.

Four announcers? C'mon! The backstage fight between Nat and Nikki will set up a mixed tag match at WM between Cena/Bella vs Miz/Maryse.

I've always liked Naomi aesthetically but I agree with you that her entrance is awesome.

Idk why but I've soured on Becky and Mickie has always had bad entrance music but especially as a heel. She needs a new theme.

I totally agree with you about Becky. She's just gotten stale IMO. I think part of that is Creative's fault because they've had her lose too many matches.
.
I sort of like Mickie James though. I like the whole "I was the womens' revolution before the womens' revolution" gimmick.

As much as I dislike "Triple Threat" matches, I have to admit that was a great one between Cena, Styles and Wyatt.
