[The Q]

Poor lashley and rusev.

they are put through this mess of a storyline and no one got a payoff.

 

[The Q]

Carrillo is reaching Murphy status...it’s not a feud if you don’t win.

I'm not sure which was more disappointing.

that, or a pointless tag title run for Rollins (Kevin Owens is why we can't have nice things).

Orton at the end of the show was money. Forget the title matches. Edge vs Orton should main event WM

They sort of wrote themselves into a corner where no matter what they did, it was gonna be a letdown. I'm surprised they actually went with a reveal as opposed to just abandoning it all together. Like no one would notice if he went away for two months and then popped back up sans cage.

Orton had the best, most passionate heel promo I have heard in a long long time.

agreed that Orton was absolutely incredible.

Not just the words. The pacing. The body language.

not every Promo has to be a hogan/macho/scsa wannabe. And I’m loving how this group sees that too.

this told a great story. Holy cow. It’s a shame Cena was around At the same time or Orton would probably be much higher rated on the top guys of all time.

Orton is just incredible. Dont know if its injuries, his schedule demands, or what had kept him from being the top man in WWE. I am glad I tuned into Briarpatch early.

Paige and Mark Henry said the same thing on Backstage last night....

In reality, they should put in between Bayley's and Becky's matches for maximum pop.

I mean, being in Cena's shadow for so long hasn't helped him.

He's above HHH IMO.

You actually thought that payoff was going to be good?

I did until they had him lose clean to black 2x

 

[The Q]

So much for the Rollins angle. They’ve turned what could’ve been a long term story until a small build up for a single Match at mania

 

[The Q]

Bazler thing probably would've been cooler if we hadn't just seen it with Lesnar.

 

[The Q]

I know she won’t, but flair should absolutely win.

Every time nxt Invades they are the heel.

 

[The Q]

Someone please tell me there’s a website that translates whatever the hell the kabuki warriors are saying in any of their promos...

I've seen some fans on Twitter translate it during the shows, but its not like I remember their names or follow them. Maybe just search #raw or Asuka during a live show and you might see it.

 

[The Q]

The build up for McIntyre/Lesnar has been absolutely fantastic so far.

well done, creative.

 

[The Q]

I like this Rollins story arc, I think it has more potential, and I really like the realism that nothing Rollins ever said was false (and the direction of raw looked bad after their beat down at survivor series).

but....

1) I wish the AoP were booked stronger like the outsiders when they got to wcw.

2) it’s probably all irrelevant since Rollins wedding will kill the story off anyway.

 

[tducey]

Rollins has been pretty good as of late. He's doing great as the Monday Night Messiah.
