The neck of Elias' guitar just snapped off before he could play his song!

I'm shocked, the Miz and DB match is quite a nailbitter. Both guys are killing it! Probably the match of the night!
Miz wins after Maryse hands him some mysterious object and he hits DB with it. This feud is only just beginning.

Yet another match between the human thumb Barin Corbin and Thin Bowel. Please let this be the end of it!
Oh wait, The Demon! This will be the end of it!
Hopefully there won't be anymore "I'm big, you're small, I hate you" matches.

In case you missed it, DB, Joe won via disqualification.

Yeah, but I'm not commenting on every match. That was also a great match but I expected that. The DB/Miz match came as a shock. I know DB does a good job but Miz really upped his game for this one.

2 squash matches on SS so far? Just glad this one is over already.

Dumb way to end the AJ match though.

Yeah, but they're trying to stretch this feud too so I can kind of understand it. Though, I too would have preferred a more creative ending.

So AJ is still the champion?

And they finally brought out "The Demon" again? I sure hope that puts an end to the Balor/Borin' feud.

It should, if the 50/50 booking holds true. And yes, AJ is the champ still.
Rhonda Rosey squashed Alexa and the goddess was able to use her double jointed elbow to make it look truly sick!
Roman just won after Lesnar took out Stroman and threw away his briefcase. We may have to wait for Braun to take it. So much for leaving the crowd happy, but at least Lesnar will be gone.

If there wasn't so much talent that put on such good matches, I'd too walk away. However, booking and the story writing is making it much harder not to do.

I realize at this point, I'm probably the only one watching Raw or Smackdown, but something interesting. The New Day beat The Bludgeon Brothers for the titles despite them being pushed as unstoppable up until now. This is because Rowan tore his bicep and has to have surgery to repair it. This was BEFORE this match (which was over 20 minutes) and the match at Summerslam (not much shorter than that). Say what you will about Rowan, but to go through those two matches with a torn bicep, that is one tough SOB!

Damn!
Rowan can't catch a break. And I agree, that is one TOUGH SOB!

Still haven't watched wrestling in a while and haven't missed it although I HAD to see that suicide dive!
I'll be back the first Raw after WM. Whether I hang around or not is up to them. I recently heard a podcast with Tito Santana and it was interesting in what he had to say. He has no interest in wrestling anymore. He basically said the wrestlers used to tell the story in the ring and now writers tell a story and the wrsetlers do what they are told.
I would if I had an outlet for either one. I do have the opportunity to see New Japan on AXS TV but those matches are at least 6 months old.
There's no broadcast of NJPW other than AXS so you need to subscribe to their streaming service - New Japan World. Ring of Honor is on Sinclair stations. If you don't have a Sinclair station you can stream Ring Of Honor free on their website - https://www.rohwrestling.com/current-tv-episode

Raw really pissed me off. Stroman was over and the people in charge decided to turn him heel. At the end of last week, it made sense. He had three guys take him out so he teamed with two guys to even the odds. Ok, still doesn't make him heel. This week, he told the fans he doesn't give a damn if anyone doesn't like it. Starting to seem like maybe he is going to be full on heel. He talks down to Baron Corbin, ok still seems tweener. Then after his match with Balor, he and the other two put a beat down on him (despite him having earned respect from Stroman just a month or so ago). Full on heel, no trace of a face or even a tweener. Oh, and Owens (who "quit" just last week and came off of a humiliating feud with Stroman), is now helping him! They were doing right by Stroman only to take him a huge step back and what seemed like an intriguing storyline with Owens and throwing it out the window. And Roman is STILL not going to get over!!!!
Then take the Bellas who haven't teamed together in forever and haven't been in a ring in over a year (and botch like hell) and jobbing out the Riott Squad who started out so promising but have been made to look weak (they already looked stupid when the only rioting they did was spray painting a few things). Oh, and Sarah Logan is no longer a wild girl from the back woods raised by animals, but apparently now comes from a long line of vikings and wants to be a viking.
And it's official, the Revival are definitely the new Acension.
The only good segment was between two guys whose best days are way behind them (Shawn Michaels and Undertaker). I've had more patience with the state of affairs in WWE than most of you but if this garbage keeps up, I may join you guys who have already given up on this crap.

The whole point of making him heel is to probably get Roman over. And with me that is never going to happen and one of the reasons I don't watch. It's just a stupid show now and I have lost all interest.
