You know, I've never really liked UT. His schtick is just too...schticky, even for professional wrestling. Even now, coming out reprising his famous gimmick and doing his catchphrases, I kept thinking "Shut up and get on with the show."

Dibiase's laugh is still priceless.

UT was my favorite for a long time until I realized how much of a company man he is. I appreciate that in him for a lot of reasons but not to the point he let vinny end his streak. That’s one thing that I felt shoulda n vet ended and yeah, his schtick is definitely old hat.

Hope they bring Lilian. I don’t know why but I’m warm for her form.

I knew Miz would win. I’m happy! I wonder if he’s getting suspended.

I was glad Miz won too. And glad he ditched that stupid haircut

I'll give Jason Jordan this much, he sure gets a lot of heat. Even I hate him. Can't wait until he turns total heel.

That anniversary RAW was disappointing. I'm not sure what I was expecting, maybe more interviews with some of the old timers or something but the whole thing just seemed "phoned in". Except for the video montages; as usual those were great. WWE has always been great with video packages.

Here’s a vid of a guy with proof Enzo is innocent.

Wow. I couldn't make it to 4 minutes of that kid rambling on before I wanted to beat the crap out of him.

I skipped to the 7th minute where he talks about it.

Quote :
Enzo was accused of rape earlier that day on social media, and WWE suspended him hours later stating that they have "zero tolerance for matters involving sexual harassment or sexual assault." WWE ended up releasing Enzo earlier today.
I think there's more to it than that. I know that a lot of companies can just fire an employee with no actual reason but most don't do it unless there's good reason. And some apparent bimbo complaining about Amore's behavior isn't enough for WWE to fire him IMO. I think it was just the last straw in a long list of events where Enzo is being an asshole and since the whole harassment thing is so hot right now WWE took advantage and did what they've wanted to do for a while now.
How do you think this would have played out if you replaced Enzo with Roman Reigns in this scenario? I'm not saying Enzo didn't deserve to be fired but that it wasn't just because of this. WWE is using this incident as cover.

hahaha!
Corey Graves strikes again. As I'm watching The New Day apparently set to team with Bobby Roode with Roode coming out to his "Glorious" theme and New Day dancing and singing along, I'm thinking WTF does Roode have in common with these idiots. And Graves comes out with:
"With New day trying to hog the spotlight from Roode they should change the lyrics to Roode's entrance music to "Gloryhogs".

Now that was hilarious. Graves is why I watch. The belt on the outside of the robe??? Looks stupid.
Honestly, SD has been better than RAW 25.

Damn. Why made SD so good at first was the fact that Shane and DB hardly made any appearances but now all they do is show up. Especially Shane.

Whew. So obviously AJ is winning this Sunday because he lost tonight. It would be really stupid to take the title off AJ and "split it" between KO and Zayne but for a while there I thought they'd actually do it.

It was pretty "meh" to be sure. The worst part was when they "Ascensioned" the Revival. They were one of the hottest teams in NXT and they lose to The Club in about five minutes. I guess that one guy's injury (can't remember which one was injured) soured creative on them.

Finally had a chance to watch it (while Smackdown was on). My thoughts:
Nice to see Mean Gene but he was limited to about one line. Come on!
I think it was a bad idea to have 2 locations. Would have actually been cool if they just did the whole show from the Manhattan Center.
Alexa looked so small next to Charlotte. Is she really that short or is Charlotte that tall? Either way it made Alexa look that much cuter
Nice to see the old timers but they had very little for them to do. And with Bogeyman in full costume why not have him in a match?
The whole ending was kind of pointless.
It was good to see Jordan get heat but I'd rather see Roman get the heat.
Also glad Miz won the IC title back. Good for him!
