So, let me get this straight. Braun Strowman can walk away from an ambulance crash, but he can't kick out of one F-5. What the fuckity, fuckity, fuck, fuck is that bullshit?

I know man, Vince is just a complete fucking idiot for deciding for Lesnar to keep the title, this was Brauns time and WWE should of been striking while the irons hot and now Brauns done. now its looking like Brocks keeping that title till Wrestlemania for him to then drop it to that clown Reigns.

Where to start with No Mercy

Womans match was eh. IC Title match was pretty weak and now from what i read about tonight RAW its going to get worse for the IC title. Tag Title match was fantastic, Cesaro is one tough bastard after what happened to him in the match. Balor vs Wyatt was good The Cruiserweight Title match i have no words for it other then piss off Enzo, i really want Gallagher to stomp the piss out of him now badly. Cena vs Reigns was just crap and they thought it would be a Wrestlemania tier match. and finally Braun vs Brock for the Universal Title was a huge let down, wrong guy won and the match was a mess. |

A guy like Braun Strowman doesn't come around often. He's been riding a wave of momentum. A win last night would've made a guy as Champion that a good portion of the crowd would've been invested in...plus it would be something fresh. I'm seriously hard-pressed to think of a worse hour of wrestling in my life, especially with what the implications mean for the company going forward. Every single bit of that was detrimental and I think will be turning fans away (If not this week for the intrigue, but the following build weeks). Braun was like the one solid thing they had, they find every single way to make every single wrong decision, I don't even know how to react anymore except with "Of course they did", because they don't learn, they only get worse. Often times, the WWE are the masters of self sabotage. They can do an incredible job of building a talent up and then... just when you think that talent is only one big moment away from hitting real heights, they cut that talent off right at the last hurdle. Over time I got used to this, but sometimes you think "this talent is different....surely they won't be so short sighted with THIS guy". That's how I felt about Braun Strowman. I didn't think they'd sabotage all of the months of great work that they've done with him. Last night, WWE killed off the mystique of their first monster in years that almost all fans like, and for no good reason other than to just feed Lesnar to Dwayne's worthless cousin at WrestleMania. They've hitched their wagon entirely to Roman Reigns. He sells enough merchandise that currently they're not in a total disaster for doing so, but he just isn't going to catch on with the fans, even to the degree John Cena divided them. Nobody else is allowed to be a star because they have to have Roman as their guy, and it is really going to cause them problems when they realize they have nobody left to feud with Reigns because everyone's been cut off at the knees or already lost to him, and nobody to transition to after Reigns because nobody's been built like him. Given Reigns is already unlikely to reach Cena's level, who himself couldn't reach the level of his predecessors (and for the very brief time they were given the ball, Punk & Bryan each made more merchandise revenue etc. than him), WWE is booking its own downfall. How many times are they going to throw away lightning in a bottle and refuse the chance to make a star?

I don't understand why the WWE builds up monster heels and then has them job all the time to nerf them? I'm talking about Nia Jax, Braun Strowman, and Bray Wyatt Jax should have gotten the woman's belt and let her run with it til WM next year. Strowman should have beat Lesnar.
Don't even get me started on Wyatt... The best mic man in the company (except maybe for Heyman and he isn't a wrestler), good moves and ring skills for a big man, and a great heel presence. Why this guy has not had a long heel run with the Championship is beyond me. |

I don't think that WWE has ever tried as hard to get someone over as they've done with Roman Reigns.
Not even Cena was this forced because people were actually behind Cena at the start. No one has been this forced for this long with little to no results despite numerous huge accolades some guys twice as talented never see. Roman is a total stubborn vanity project made out of desperation that they're afraid to pull the plug on so they just go deeper and deeper into this inescapable pit. The only things that will save Roman are if he somehow turns heel (doubt it), an injury that puts him out an extended period of time and off TV to sort of refresh him (which I do not wish to happen), or he somehow gets in a compelling enough feud which also has not happened because he can't carry his end in this form. Essentially, Roman is someone I can't believe has been handed all the gifts that he has been without even really showing he deserves like three quarters of them. He's not BAD, but he is not what they present him as and may never be. And that's what is fucking infuriating... This is the most building they've ever done for anyone in the history of the company who still wasn't over with the crowd. Hogan/Austin/Cena all rose organically and were super over at least at the beginning. Reigns hasn't been over since the Shield broke up. Even a guy like Diesel rose pretty organically and was well liked early in his run before things started to tank. Luger was pushed hard and fizzled but Reigns would kill to get a pop like Luger got when he body slammed Yokozuna.

Who cares about Roman? Enzo was just destroyed by Braun and the cruiserweights yesterday. RIP.

So Roman essentially retires cena as he has ut and come next years mania he will beat lesnar for the title and maybe lesnar decides to retire after that as his contract situation post mania isn't clear yet.
So after that what is left for roman to do go undefeated as champ for atleast a year to hold it longer then lesnar. I guess they could have strowman traded to sd and have him win the title at mania also and then have both him and roman hold the titles to mania in 2019 and then have strawman vs roman in a unification title match |

So what was the purpose in all the cruiserweights and Strowman destroying Enzo?
