    I've utterly given up watching Raw. I watch AEW now and Smackdown.

    Yeah, it's already his second (his actions post match with Reigns was clearly a send off). Also, watch Smackdown for Reigns. Him as a heel is great.

    As an update, people should watch Clash of Champions. It was really, really good for what is usually an ehn show. If it wasn't for wrestlemania's Firefly Funhouse (which might not qualify), I'd say match of the year for the 3-way Sami Zayn, Jeff Hardy, and AJ Styles. Roman Reign's vs Jey Uso...

    So I decided to watch the entire Attitude Era, starting with Survivor Series 1997. I got way too much free time, and I have no real opportunities to meet new people because I just moved and covid. So first major impression, I had never realized how gay-coded D-X was. Second was that the...

    So Miz and Morrison remain some of the highlights. Their 'plan' for the 3-way tag team on the lates smackdown was great.

    BTW, you can watch the last 4 episodes of smackdown free on fox, if you have a cable provider account (I'm trying to get it to work for Raw and the USA network, but it doesn't work for me. A workaround is making an account for the USA app, getting 3 free shows, then making another account. To...

    Yeah, seeing an eye actually pop out would have been really good. But Idk if I'd like them to do it, because it would be the first time they tried, and it might look bad (also, it wouldn't have been live). I'd keep watching smackdown, btw, they are really expanding on the supernatural Bray...

    Still catching up, I'm only a month behind now. @Hastur of Carcosa You'd love the Swamp Fight in the Horror Show at Extreme rules. Bray Wyatt goes full supernatural, it's great. The Coronavirus is the best thing to happen to him. Also, the Eye for an Eye match was pretty good as well. Just brutal.

    So I figure I'll continue with my reviews. I just started watching NXT, and @Hastur of Carcosa , you might enjoy it more. They are more willing to deal with larger than life figures. They don't go all out, but they do play with it a lot. Smackdown of June 19th was a letdown though. The fighting...

    So I got to hand it to WWE. As I've mentioned before, I'm about a month and a half behind. But the June 15th episode of Raw was just great. Everything was well done, there was a good overarching story (Christian maybe fighting Orton) that set up future stories, Dominic Mysterio did great in his...

    I just wish they had this inventiveness today. It seems like they've run out of ideas. The announcers make it even worse, with calling basically every match the same, making the wrestlers look the same. I got to hand it to Miz and Morrison though, they keep it interesting. Miz makes a great heel...

    What the WWE needs are better announcers. If I hear "Oh My God!" one more time from Michael Cole, I'm going to scream. And then there's the 3 way commentating on Raw which just doesn't work.

    Oh, I doubt it. They are adorable together. It's a net gain for the WWE, despite Alexa being such a good heel.

    Oh, that's definitely true. I might not like what's happened with Alexa Bliss, but it worked great for Nikki Cross.

    I don't really want Finn Balor as Demon King to get some face credit though. You'd have to be very careful in writing it. I'm pissed what they did with Asuka though. I hope she gets the title back soon, but I don't have much hope. At the very least bring back Alexa Bliss as a heel. She might not...

    Also, the WWE could use Pat McAfee. He cut a great promo with Adam Cole on his show. Not a really emotional one, but just great acting.

    It sucks what they are doing to Asuka (though I'm about a month behind, watching it on the app, given I don't have cable right now, so it seems fine from where I'm at). Given the lack of a crowd, she was one of the few interesting things going during covid. Do they ruin that? Also, why are they...

    On a good note, Seth Rollins as the Monday Night Messiah is a great heel. His going for the eye, and the stomps all work great. I really like that they aren't spamming him taking out eyes, then having the wrestler's just working through it immediately, but instead have it be a lasting impact.
