I feel like he might have been referring more to bringing in really big names like Hogan, Bischoff, Flair etc. for guest roles, rather than just signing wrestlers who used to work for WWE. The latter is a perfectly valid way to add to the roster, whereas the former is a completely unsustainable way of trying to get

Amazing how Simpsons reruns can feel more exciting and new than most Raw match-ups.

I'm discussing how the show has turned me off. The first couple of weeks of the brand split I really thought Raw was better than SmackDown, but they've lost me with their repetitive match-ups and poor booking. These problems exist on SmackDown too of course, but to nowhere near the same degree.

The European Union

I've been enjoying Raw a lot more these past two weeks.

They basically did this with her and Nia Jax in NXT and it worked wonders for them. Eva Marie was actually a believable threat with Nia backing her up, and Nia got massive heat just for being associated with Eva.

I think it's amazing how people who aren't considered great on the mic, like Carmella, Baron Corbin and even Eva goddamn Marie, are able to be much more compelling and interesting on Talking Smack.

Not a fan of the Corbin/Crews match and result. They've already fought each other a bunch recently, plus SmackDown really needs some credible babyfaces in the midcard and Crews is on as bad a losing streak as Ziggler right now.

Oh god, did that really happen? What did they say?

The Clash Of Champions card looks way better on paper than Backlash did, but I was way more excited for Backlash because SmackDown's build-up to it was so good. CoC has Jericho vs. Zayn, Owens vs. Rollins, Bayley vs. Sasha vs. Charlotte and Perkins vs. Kendrick, but I still can't bring myself to care too much about it

Didn't stop them from doing it on the Network during the CWC finale.

Get ready for Team Kendrick vs. The Flippy-shit Fraternity

Still in a way it's almost a positive, at least someone's acknowledging that he's getting booed.

I can't believe Foley literally just told us that we shouldn't be booing Reigns.

He's THE real guy.

They might, but if they can do something good with Swagger, they could probably do something amazing with Cesaro.

Alexa has used her finisher already, she hit Twisted Bliss on Becky to win her debut match.

I love that he got one of the bigger pops of the night.

We ask for Cesaro, we get Swagger. Take this as an example of how WWE will continue to treat SmackDown as the B-show.

That is one of the worst things I've ever read.
