I’m very excited for RAW tonight

 

Could be a pretty crazy 48hrs for WWE. Shield reforming, Sister Abigail coming to life, KO and Sami back together? All in the wake of two crazy cell matches.

 

And I’m seeing it live tonight

 

I'm sure being there live last night affected my opinion on the PPV, but I had an incredible time. The Roode/Ziggler match was by far the worst, Nak/Jinder had the crowd into it at the end at least.

 

Happy Birthday to one of the GOATs Eddie Guerrero, RIP

Eddie would've been 50 today..

 

From WWE.com, so take it with a grain of salt.

“A preliminary report has determined that Shane may be dealing with multiple injuries, including neck trauma, fractured ribs and a dislocated shoulder.”

 

You sound like you’re protesting the jinder push, and in that case you would be right. But turning Sami heel because he’s been a jobber in smackdown makes perfect sense, he’s frustrated at Shane because Shane took him from raw And promised a spot in “the land of opportunity” and he’s gotten nothing but jobbing opportunities

 

btw i thought the crowd was pretty crappy last night

 

I'd have to go back and watch, but the crowd felt fine in person, besides the weird obsession with wanting tables, and then the biggest Jinder mark I've ever seen in my whole life

 

I'll never understand the obsession with tables. Its so crazy to me. Blame the Dudleys.

 

i was disappointed at how little the crowd cared for Bobby Roode in his ppv debut match. i guess it's just another reminder at how useless NxT reactions/crowds are on the main roster.

 

It's 'glorious' that is over. Not so much Bobby Roode himself

 

It was really strange. Especially during the Usos/New Day match, they just kept chanting for it and I was like... why?

So there's two things that killed his reaction:

1. The crowd was deflated after seeing Nak lose clean. Like, air sucked out of the building.
2. A good majority of people weren't sure if it was actually Bobby out at first, the whole section I was in honestly thought it was Ziggler doing his entrance.

 

I'm watching John Hennigan in Boone the Bounty Huner because I hate myself and its on Amazon PRime.

 

They should have swapped Roode/Dolph and Orton/Rusev in the match order.

Roode would have gotten a better reaction earlier, and leaving him for the blowoff match isnt a great sign

 

Yeah, it was weird. Orton/Rusev definitely should've been the blowoff match. I guess I get it since they had Roode pull the tights to win and they'll have a longer match down the line, but it was still odd.

 

im talking more the sense that during the match itself no one seemed to care about Bobby Roode.... in his ppv debut.

 

Like...what do you expect? It was in the blowoff spot on the card, in a thrown together feud that really nobody gives a shit about. And on top of that, the match itself sucked.

 

I figured that a guy as supposedly great and hot as Bobby roode, would be able to hold the crowds attention for a 10 minute match in his debut against Dolph Ziggler. Is the feud on fire? No but its still a guy that's supposedly the next big thing and he couldn't hold the crowds attention for 10 minutes. And the reason why i thought the crowd was weak last night is because i do think Roode can be great.

The crowd is doing exactly what Ziggler is talking about. People only care about his entrance.

 

The match was boring as hell and was approaching the end of the night. No crowd will be excited for that.

 

God I hope Sami and KO are tagging and they use this as their finisher:

I wish anyone in the WWE used either of those moves.

 

Helluva Kick into Canonball would be sweet..as would Helluva kick to frog splash
