The Ziggles turn was OK except that he's already flipped several times.  He's not quite in the Big Show or Flair territory of flipping but he's well on his way.


He is much better as a heel though.  He just has a face you want to punch.  Couple it with an attitude and you get a good heel.

Agree, not to mention he is a legit very good wrestler. Those types of guys make the BEST heels because they are good workers (like Perfect or Dibiase).

HAHAHA list of "Stupid Idiots". LOL



I also think the "scarf" is funny and only Jericho can pull this stuff off. Like Ziggles, he is a good wrestler and makes a better heel.

And there is a shirt? HAHAHA!

He comes up with his own gimmicks doesn't he?  This whole "list" thing is his invention right?

KO's idea to use a person as a billboard with 'The Kevin Owens Show' on his face was hilarious! Yes, it was his idea and creative loved it.

I too loved that segment, that was pure genius!

I like the end of it where Ashton Kutcher is on it for showing up in LA lol

I don't think John Cena is long for the WWE universe.  Seems like he's getting more and more movie offers and I just saw him in a commercial for Hefty trash bags.  Why put your body through the hell of a pro wrestling career when you can get a well-paying gig in Hollywood?  I think he's going to try to follow the path of The Rock.

I hope he does try it. While I mostly hate his wrestling persona there's no denying that he's a good worker and he's a very likeable guy in real life. Every year he leads the Make A Wish Foundation in wishes granted.

Seems like he is moving on. He isn't getting any younger but I bet he stays around longer than The Rock. He keeps saying "WWE for life" kind of stuff and AJ makes mention of him doing other things so we will see. He might be able to do both and put wrestling on the back burner and do appearances, maybe on a Brock-like schedule.

Addy: Yeah, Ashton on the list was awesome lol!

4:40, hahaha!

The dark segment of RAW last night showed KO betray Jericho to the Undertaker for a choke slam.
I think it's sickening that Stephanie has to be in every segment and how many people she belittles every episode. This Monday is was Foley, Bayley & Sasha.

Well I'm fine with anyone who belittles Bayley; I absolutely hate her. But I get your point and agree with it.

Bayley basically is John Cena with a monthly cycle in a lot of ways. Toho, do you ever watch SD?

I do now that baseball season is over.

During baseball season I very rarely see Smackdown because the Cardinals are usually playing. But ever since baseball ended I've been watching SD.

SD is actually the better show now. And I agree, to much Steph, too much of ANY McMahon. Sick of them. I miss the old days where Vince was just an announcer.

What a maneuver!!!!

Former WWE and WCW star Timothy Smith, known by the ring names Rex King and Timothy Well, passed on Monday due to complications from kidney failure. He was 55 years old.

Smith is known to WWE fans for his Well Dunn tag team with Steve Doll. He last worked for WWE in 1995. Smith was named as one of the wrestlers in the class-action lawsuit filed by lawyer Konstantine Kyros back in July of 2016, alleging that WWE concealed the risks of traumatic brain injuries.

RIP 'Superfly' Jimmy Snuka.

When Stephanie is onscreen as a a babyface, she is golden. Those Monday Night RAW's are usually pretty good too.
I don't know where she got the idea or who told her to try act like a heel like her Dad, because it sucks. Always.

On a recent Vince Russo The Brand podcast, he nailed it
She doesn't have good heat (Like Vince McMahon did), she has heat where you want to change the channel.

Sad about Snuka. On a lighter note check this out:

I don't think Big Show ever had abs before, let alone abs like that!

That can't be real.

I swear Raw starts the same way every week.  Wrestler A comes out to talk to/put down the crowd.  Wrestler B comes out to confront Wrestler A and put down/talk to the crowd (whatever A didn't do).  Wrestlers A and B look about to square off until Wrestler C comes to the ring.  Then Wrestler D.  Followed by Wrestler E.  Yawn.  This has been the formula for years now.   Thankfully at least tonight this formula didn't lead to the dreaded 4 way tag team match or some such crap.  

No wonder Smackdown is the better show.

EDIT: Ugh. I guess while I was flipping back to "Gotham" I missed the part where somehow Reigns, Rollins and Zayne have a match against Owens, Jericho and Strowman based of course off of the opening segment. Good grief I could write this crap in my sleep.

Where the hell is WWE Creative going with this?

Zayne beats Rollins which puts Rollins out of the Rumble and Zayne in? And it was because of a fake Triple H entrance when Rollins had Zayne beat?

If this is the beginning of a Zayne heel turn then I'm all for it because I already hate his ass. If it's not then it's just another WTF? example of Creative booking by the seat of their pants.

Frankly, I'm tired of the same old stupid scenario of wrestler A going to confront wrestler B and one or the other leaves without hardly even a word. Plus, the speakerphone segment where Steph yet again made Foley look like a spineless idiot made me feel like I stepped in dog doo.

Also the final stare down was underwhelming. As much as I have always liked Undertaker since he was Texas Red, The Punisher, Mean Mark, etc. I just wanna see him hang it up.

I don't remember him as Texas Red but I remember the rest of those names. I was living just outside of Memphis, TN in the late 80s and I remember UT being managed by Dutch Mantell in CWA/GCCW (or whatever Fritz Von Erich's promotion was going by back then when Jerry Jarrett merged them)
