I badly wanted the PPV to end. I kept looking at the time. Went on and on.

The matches weren't bad but they were so boring. That chain match, nothing happened. Street fight, nothing happened. Cage match, a superplex. All the spots I remember were during the Last Man Standing match and I've seen all them before so I had little to no reaction. It was just boring. If the crowd could of chanted boring during the whole show then I would of been OK with that. That is literally the only way Vince and his cronies will ever truly acknowledge the chants although saying that I'm talking Vince here so probably not.

I thought I'd have more to say but that pretty much sums it up.

Ok so who is going to win the KOTR....

Barrett, R-Truth, Sheamus, or Neville? IMHO It should be Neville. If they were smart they would give the rub to Neville. He could get the most bang out of it.

Your predictions?

As a Brit, would love it to be Bad News. Logically, it should be Neville. However, this is Vince so you know it will be given to Sheamus as he was the last KOTR so they will probably make a whole thing about he has been king for 5 years and has proved it with this win.

WTF is Truth still doing employed? His rapping 'what's up' gimmick is as stale as a month old loaf of bread.

Would love to see them don a Queen of the Ring tournament. Would probably be a thousand times better than the males one. Although you know it would end up being the Bella twin who sucks Cena off that wins the tournament.

I hope R-Truth wins just for the hell of it. The "correct" booking choice doesn't exist within WWE logic. At least he can cut an entertaining promo when he ain't being a knobhead, other three can't.

Neville defeated the 2010 King Of The Ring Winner, Sheamus

Bad News Barrett defeated R-Truth

Bad News Barrett defeated Neville to become the 2015 King Of The Ring

this part of your post is hidden

* Roman Reigns defeated Kane by countout in the opening match.

* Damien Sandow pinned Curtis Axel. Sandow has a new shirt, which is his stunt double shirt, with the term "stunt double" crossed out. Mizdow has the Miz part replaced with "San" taped over it.

* Ryback defeated Luke Harper

* Cesaro and Tyson Kidd defeated The New Day via DQ.

* Nikki Bella defeats Cameron.

* There was a dark segment backstage where Seth appeared on the screen and talked crap about the city, since its his home town, to try and get heat. It did not work at all and he was still cheered.

* Seth Rollins defeated Dean Ambrose in the main event. Roman Reigns made the save for Ambrose at the end of the show.

Best thing about Raw was unbelievably The New Day and not so surprisingly Neville. I had a lack of appreciation for their tag match at Axtreme Rulez brother because I was in I don't give a shit mood but Steve Austin was putting it over big time as one of the best tag matches he's seen in ages. So I immediately started liking them like a good mark.

I listened to the Miz recently say it's up to the fans to get Sandow over, he's done his part. Judging by that segment on Raw which was mostly very awkward, it isn't happening. It was bordering cringe worthy. Such a disappointment.

Why didn't Rusev face Cena? He came out looking all tough slapping around Slater (who still has 3ManBand music lol) then stood there shaking his arms around like he had pins and needles. I do get why he didn't but it could of ended in a DQ. Rusev could of beat Cena up good to make him easier pickings at Payback or just not had a match and attack him anyway.

What is Naomi's new music? Sounds worse than Brie Mode. Fire this new music guy, he's shit. Somebody could make better sounding music using a hand and an armpit.

I didn't want to read the f'n spoilers for King of the Ring but had no choice (thanks ) King Barrett could be good I guess but if he keeps the gimmick for as long as Booker T then I'll be hoping he'll be facing Jack Swagger in the near future so he can acquire another injury.

All Hail King Barrett!!!

[MarkC1984]

So looks like I called it right, Lana is doing a face turn. How long before she denounces Russia and joins forces with Cena against Rusev, reaming Rusev with someone really stupid.
