It may be my hormones talking, but I'm going to give the WWE credit for making an effort. That is usually not the case for shows that fall on a holiday or go home episodes. I actually like the mysteries surrounding Angle and Enzo. They provide a reason to keep tuning in. I wish that we had the same type of

It's weird that the build for Titus and Apollo Crews is better than the build for the fatal five way. I understand the need to promote a PPV by letting us know the matches, but giving that the WWE has the network, it wouldn't hurt them to hold off on the announcements, so that they have time to actually develop

I enjoyed Backlash. It was not perfect, but that is mainly because the build for every single match was horrible, and because the opening match wasn't good. The crowd was great, and I'm happy that they seemed to support almost every match. And even though I'm not crazy about some aspects of Jinder Mahal's current

I'm not as crazy about Lucha Underground as I was in season 1, but this was one of my most favorite matches. Pentagon deserved to be beaten up.

I enjoyed this episode of Raw. My only complaint, I didn't like all of the women being lumped into one match. That took away from the importance of the opener. It is good that they were given so much time, and Alexa Bliss is a star.

I think that she's saying that Charlotte knows Sasha better than she knows Naomi, which lead to better matches. This has been said when people compared Sasha and Charlotte matches versus Alexa Bliss and Becky Lynch matches. It's not fair to expect Bliss/Lynch to have as much chemistry as Charlotte and Sasha.

The Xenophobia and this: "Randy Orton literally carries on with a promo to a completely different opponent while standing less than a foot away from Mahal. If that doesn’t make Mahal’s future pay-per-view title match a joke, I don’t know what does." are what turned me off of this episode. There is a lot of talent on

I love that Smackdown has an "inmates running the asylum feel." I like the idea that Daniel Bryan and Shane are outnumbered by a bunch of off kilter people, who are more out of control than the people who are on Raw.

Smackdown still needs to fix the tag division, but I really enjoyed this episode. Smackdown is not capable of having the big moments that we see on Raw, but usually the storytelling is on point. After the Elimination Chamber and this episode, I was left wanting to tune in next week to see how all of these angles

I'm enjoying Smackdown so much. I like that it is story and character driven. Most of the things that happen seem logical, which makes it easier to watch in comparison to Raw.

Surprising and great episode of Raw. I understand the significance of having Baylor beat Reigns, but I could have done without Stephanie trashing Reigns, just to turn around and give him yet another chance to get a championship. It's just bad storytelling, and does not fit the idea that Reigns is the underdog, who

It happened on Smackdown, so maybe they are pretending that it didn't happen, but Dean did beat Seth in September of last year.

I think the issue is that people feel that AJ is not being utilized correctly. Some of that fear is due to the WWE's history with guys who look like AJ, but part of it comes from how AJ has been booked during this feud.

After their third match I wish that Styles had gone on to start a feud with Owens or even the Miz. Styles has to slow down his pace against Jericho. And during this feud, Jericho has had the vast majority of the focus, while Styles has looked stupid on more than one occasion.

When he came out, the crowd was silent. That is worse than being booed.

Nattie's treatment is sad. I do not know why she puts up with the WWE. She deserves more than to face Lana or Brie. The same is true for Naomi.

I absolutely loved Dean Thanking Triple H. Even though he's deserved better in terms of matches and the ooutcome of those matches, Ambrose and the writers have done a great job in developing his character.

I think that Jericho is going overboard to indicate that he is going to turn on AJ.

It was a very long three hours. I did love seeing Ambrose. He deserves to be more than just a stop gap, or a way to get people to boo Triple H.

The most coherent character on the show has been Hakeem. We've seen him mature this year, but he still does childish and stupid things, like give away his family's company. They have centered the season around that character, probably at the expense of everyone else.
