I'm hoping Byron's low energy was him just selling that his colleagues got wrecked by Lesnar and hence the situation demanded a grave, less jovial mood. He wasn't great but I didn't hate him.

Some people suggested chanting for the guys' individual names in addition to "New Day sucks", though it might send a confusing message. Like "Let's go Big E / New Day sucks!". It's tough. "We love you but not this gimmick" is a hard message to contain in a chant.

I don't get why not book Cena's open challenge or Ziggler vs Bryan in the main event and save the shitty tag for Smackdown main event? They had to know the crowd would shit on anything with Big Show and Kane..

Don't feel bad for Brock Lesnar. He's getting hella money for limited days, less risk of injury than MMA, and whenever he's on he gets to be the coolest person on the show.

If the Divas Search ladies are all athletically gifted and have to train with Sara Del Rey until they can hold their own against the Sasha Bankses and Bayleys of the NXT roster, cool. But most likely WWE is willing to put undertrained women on TV to have storylines the caliber of "Bellas are jealous because these new

It was like they were telling two different stories and couldn't decide between them and ended up picking the shittier story (though one that was indeed a lark). Sting the Vigilante vs Authority is a great serious story. WCW (living dead promotion?) vs WWE is a stupidfun wrestling story.

I too laughed out loud throughout Sting vs HHH but god that ending just drained all the laughter out of me. I just sat there being like, "bhuh.. but.. why…".

AJ Lee seems to be in auto-mode, in-ring wise. Admittedly, she's been there, done that when it comes to almost anything, but I would hope that if she wants to become Mae Young she'd keep putting more effort in. Nikki Bella's pretty great in-ring wise. The match should have got 10 of the minutes devoted to The Rock

Me to AV Club: Is LaToya going over?
AVC: We don't know what that means..
Me: IS. SHE. FUCKING. GOING. OVER?
AVC: Fine, fine, put down the sledge hammer and leave our offices.
Me: (smirking as Motorhead plays in the background)

LaToya, you nailed all my post-WM high worries. Like yay Taker and all, but a win over Taker would have made Bray, and they definitely need somebody to carry the creepy torch for this generation, as successfully as Bray can do it. Of course Cena wins because America, but oh boy if he had not. I laughed my head off

Please don't spread that fucked up hearsay. An accident occurred that resulted in a tragic death.

Some people say he was great but I thought he came off as annoying. I think if you're a fan who gets the invite, please try and play along, don't use the term "putting over" like .. please.

I still listen but hanging on by a bare thread. Nicholson's "anti-blonde bias" bit was the most low-key annoying thing I've ever heard on ..last week's episode, maybe?

I confess it's been so long since I watched I forget how that storyline wrapped up. I should watch again since it's the only WWE show that regularly features Summer Rae.

I used to watch it before Cody lost that fateful court case. It should've become the Cody Rhodes Show, goddammit.

Emma's downfall made me so sad.

I'm hoping Ziggler winning against Bryan twice, then Bryan picking up the final win at Mania is just setting up the smark distraction device of them having a hellacious best out of 9 series throughout 2015. But knowing WWE and the fact they seem to stumble backwards into the best storylines and Vince doesn't care

That Divas match is what we could have each week and yet almost every week we get little to nothing. Fuck WWE, but good on them for finally figuring it out. Even Cole was like prime "2004 calling Eddie vs Brock" Cole. Just job Reigns out to Lesnar and have Nikki win the WWE title from him on Raw after Mania. It'd be

Lucha Underground. It's a youngling but it's already better than anything else.

We know, Vince, you've given him everything already.
