I thought it was a good show. Charlotte and Sasha weren't able to pull off some of the spots they tried, but A for effort.

show was alright, yeah. owens/rollins was match of the night. the women's hiac match itself was good, but the stuff around it was awful.
ah, copperplate, a font for the truly modern man.

I feel like someone should have realized Sasha weighs like 110 lbs and wouldn't break a table. Those tables should have been rigged to break easier.

Owens and Jericho are the only reason I'm still watching Raw. If Owens drops the belt to Reigns(it looks like they might be headed in that direction,) I'm out.

Yeah, Rollins is a full out face now.

When I say I'd stop watching Raw, I'll still watch Smackdown. Not only is AJ the champ, it's actually a good wrestling show with good writing.

The Rollins face turn is weird from a writing standpoint. He was a great heel, backed by the authority, which made it easier to hate him. HHH giving him a pedigree doesn't automatically make him a face because he isn't exactly contrite about his heel turn and learned the error of his ways. Now he's just a relative face cuz he's pitted against Owens and is no longer backed by the authority. He's basically mad that the game is no longer rigged in his favor as opposed to being an odds-stacked-against-him face that had to overcome them to go over.

Yeah, not having him return from the injury as a face right off the bat was a total writing botch.

i love the combo of Owens and Jericho and everything but just really with they would give Owens a few clean wins on his own before he drops the belt.

They are moving forward with Reigns-Owens after Survivor Series. That leads me to think Jericho will leave without them ever doing Jericho/Owens which is just asinine.

What I really want is New Day to get bored of just being the tag champs and going after the Universal and US titles

Just realized the best way to explain this election is that Hilary was basically Roman reigns.. a candidate shoved down everyone's throats from day 1 but not necessarily likeable

So does WWE trumpet the fact that a Hall of Famer is president?

Vince MUST be chasing the Donald for a WrestleMania appearance now...

I'll be at Raw on Monday. However, I will not be close to ringside like I was for Smackdown though

Anyone else get an email offering the network free from now until February 1st (a couple of days after the Royal Rumble)?

I cancelled my subscription back in the summer, hadn't bothered to renew yet, just curious if this is a giant ploy to get old subscribers back, or something they're actually offering in a big way

it was a nice surprise...the product hasn't done much the last 4-5 months to keep my interest, but hell, if they want to give me 2.5 months, including the Rumble, for free, who am I to complain?

Tried to sneak into the Citi presale for WrestleMania from overseas, but it wasn't having it. Hope there's no issues for the presale - every other 'Mania I've been too I had a US card.
