Lesnar is going to 100% be playing WWE and UFC for the best offer. This being Lesnar, he probably does both and gets enough coin to finally fix his teeth.

@The King of Old School Dana and DC were talking up the fight happening the first Saturday of March. Probably to tie in the "DC's retiring right after this" hype, but also because DC's body is starting to fall apart and he's had three high-level title fights this year; he says he needs a bit of a break.

Alexa Bliss in a suit, strewth! 

The first thing I noticed with the majority of the Raw roster at the top of the ramp was just how fucking bland the majority of them are. The show has such little star power it's not even funny. Corbin will never be my cup of tea - his delivery is just so monotone. He has improved slightly, but if they must insist on going with the tired heel authority figure role, then at least put it in the hands of a more capable speaker. Still, it did set up the show relatively well. Also Brawn chasing after people and smashing things up again is fun - they won't give him the title for an age but this is a good role for him presently. 

I'm all for Riott Squad playing off of their opponents emotions before/during/after matches. Some may see it as tacky, but it gives them a bit of a an extra edge as opposed to being a heel trio thrown together just for the sake of it.

Apollo Crews is tremendously gifted but after being presented like a total schmuck for a year absolutely nobody cares about him, and ultimately this win will lead to the square root of fuck all. 

AOP winning the tag belts was the right call. Quite a fun little handicap match actually. Also liked the sadness in Seth's eyes as he thought he was about to get an answer from Dean only to take his finisher again. 

I was enjoying the show up to the start of the Elias/Ziggler match. The promos beforehand were good, but the match itself sucked the life out of the proceedings for me. They just didn't mesh well together at all. 

Ronda knocked it out of the park. If they're looking for a star to cover for Roman while he's recovering, she could be the one. Superb delivery. 

I get the Nia/Tamina alliance and Nia going over made sense following her challenge to Ronda. But no one in their right mind cares about Taminia, while Nia's promos, wrestling ability and facial expressions are just cringe. I'm not being fattist (I am Fatty Facesitter after all!) but she is dreadful. 

What odds on Lashley facing Balor again next week? And again the week after? Fuck off with the endless rematches. 

Drew/Angle was absolutely superb storytelling, and fair play to Angle for making Drew look like an absolute total bastard. It's WWE so they won't capitalise on it, but what a way to put somebody over.

They will. This is a start. Vince likes Drew, he's going places. U belt within a year.

Like someone mentioned above that was like a Brock/Hogan squash.

Drew will probably go on a massive tear now.

Sole Survivor at Survivor Series, Rumble Winner, Beats Brock at Mania within 3 minutes. 

Yea probably not... But I could see them leaning towards Drew being the one to beat Brock now.

You're talking about an industry where a newlywed couple got a live snake as a wedding present and were attacked by an Undertaker at their reception. Roll with the punches.

He was arguing about inconsistent storytelling. That angle was perfectly consistent with the characters of all involved.

It's wrestling, you kind of have to forget about consistency, especially when guys flip from "good guy" to "bad guy" on a regular basis. 

Honestly, if someone is nitpicking at the product to such an extent they're probably best choosing another show for their Monday night television viewing.

Horseshit. The Vince Russo defence for being shit at what he does.

Your missing the vital part out though the line was "The one time of the year Raw and Smackdown Compete AGAINST each other"

Which whilst still not technically true as they do so in the royal rumble match but it's the only show where it is Raw vs Smackdown

Oh, come the fuck on. If someone is picking up on Renee asking if Braun can be manipulated like that after an angle where he was part of a cult then they need to take a step back.

This is an industry where guys get cracked on the dome with a sledgehammer and appear on the show the next week with a bandage on their fucking heads. If we're looking for continuity and consistency then anyone who falls from a titantron or gets hit with a sledgehammer should be gone for months at a time.

I realise this is WWE so nuance isn't really high on the agenda, but could the question about Braun being manipulated be reasonable BECAUSE he was in a cult?  If anyone can see manipulation, it's ex cult members.  Then again, he tipped an ambulance over with a leukaemia survivor inside so fuck him, the evil bastard.

There is a ton of stuff we just accept because it's wrestling but that doesn't mean you can't pull them up for shit story-telling. That's inexcusable. Normal wrestling convention is one thing. An Irish whip doesn't make sense. But because every time someone gets irish-whipped the same thing happens, it's logical. Inconstencies happen because cunts like Vince Russo think they can get away with being rubbish because wrestling fans are too stupid to notice.
