Raw has had deserved bad ratings. Meanwhile SD is good but still has bad ratings...
Only matches I'm looking forward to at tlc are Bryan vs. AJ and the women's triple threat tlc. The rest may as well be an extended dance break. Dean vs. Seth could be good but it's had a shitty build so who cares anymore. I hope the Baron and Mysterio matches are over quick. Rey should be helping the 205 live guys at this point, I don't need matches from 2005. |

I have a feeling some of tonight's matches are going to be short and/or bad. 12 matches for a non-Big 4 is way too much.

The crowd was not invested in the Rollins/Ambrose match and I can see why. During the match, they were so calm for a "You stabbed me in the back, I hate you" kind of feud.
"You stabbed me in the back on one of the worst nights imaginable....so let's have a good clean fight!" Fucking really? When I was watching Asuka/Becky/Charlotte, I was like "This is what the fucking Seth and Dean match should have been. Just riotous, out-of-control fighting. A fucking war."

So why did Seth keep using his bad knee over and over and hurting it even more? Seth came across as a moron.

A month ago I was confident that Seth/Dean would be a TLC match, even as just a ladder match it makes sense having the rules justify using stuff to beat the crap out of each other. But a normal match just didn't sync with the feud and the match was probably a bit long as well.
Having Elias/Lashley as the ladder match was dumb, especially with it also being on the pre-show and being 'he who gets the guitar wins' and not 'he who gets the guitar can legally beat the other guy with it'. They kinda really need to elevate both guys and that match doesn't really help with that idea. |

One nitpick, why is new Bryan doing moves the old Bryan would do? Match was great but those fiery comeback moves that the crowd used to go ape over still being utilized is weird. Also change the theme music ffs. I think they won't because of the video game seeming outdated? Only logic I can come up with but on that game isn't he the old Bryan, so it's already outdated anyway. Where's Jim Johnston when you need him. Can't believe they replaced him with that other guy who only seems to exclusively do new NXT wrestlers themes these days. Theme music is important for setting the mood and hearing that old theme is beyond stupid at this point. It's not even that difficult because it's copyright free if I'm not mistaken, just grab the original for a quick fix for crying out loud. I think they even used the original piece at first a good few years ago.

Where's Bray Wyatt? It's as if everybody has forgotten about him. I've heard nor read any mention of him in months. Wiki says he apparently did that poor mans Starrcade imitation. Jeez did that show suck, wish I could have that time back. I got reminded of him because I saw Chinese Bray in a movie recently lol.

The company wasted Bray. He did amazing promos and should have been #1 monster heel in the company but they jobbed him out on almost every PPV until he became a joke.

I know but we got jobbers in every segment of Raw now it feels and he's better but on the bench. I have trouble believing they can't they come up with something. Harper is wasting away too. They got too many worthless shits on TV, especially Raw. Imagine if the lights went out during that segment with the spotlight hoarding, here to save the ratings McMahons and it's Bray and Harper or even Bray and Taker together, something cool. Kick the shit out of Vince and Shane and nab Steph and take her to the compound or some shit. Then they get Steve Austin back to save her and we're all happy. Yea, I ran out of ideas

Wow, Daniel Bryan has a great fiery rant like the infamous Miz Talking Smack segment. How the fuck is this guy a heel when he's talking the truth. Whatevs, it's good shit. |
