-JBL's annoyance/exasperation at Ellsworth's presence continues to be hilarious. The Chernobyl and Mr. Ed lines made me crack up.

Yeah and both KO and Rollins were booked horribly in these roles. They both came across as gutless coward idiots who couldn't win anything on their own without constant interference. In other words, the opposite of how Joe should be portrayed. Their title reigns were booked awful.
See I've never cared much for the whole "have the babyface lose a bunch and THEN turn them." It doesn't suddenly change the fact that they look like losers. They're just now losers with a different alignment, but they don't suddenly look credible.
But that's the thing, she doesn't make that distinction. If she had, then it'd be fine. But instead, she makes a blanket statement about only people with powers being heroes. THAT'S where the writing fails ultimately.
Kara didn't just meet Oliver. She also met Sara, Thea, Oliver's team, Heatwave, Atom, etc. Oh and her own sister is a DEO agent that she works with on a daily basis.
Oliver has gone up against quit a few metahumans before, including freaking Reverse Flash. And Ra's al Ghul, Super-solider Deathstroke, magic user Damian Darhk, etc. AND he helped to fight off a freaking alien invasion like two episode ago. It's not THAT big a disparity.
If she had specified that it was more about James specifically, his lack of proper training, experience, and him doing it for questionable motives, then it would have made FAR more sense.
Ollie, Thea, Sara, Heatwave, Atom, etc. Plus Alex is helping her out constantly as well.
Yeah Kara's "only people with powers can be heroes" stance is pretty dumb given that Alex and the DEO people don't have them (except J'onn of course) and yet she works with them all the time. Also she hinted at Batman existed in this universe, AND she just worked with a bunch of non-powered heroes during the…
This was a stupid way to debut Joe. They're basically setting him up to lose his first big PPV match/feud on the main roster, which is just dumb. Because Rollins needs to be protected for his inevitable match with Triple H at Mania.
That would be lame as heck, and a slap in the face to him after all he's done in the company.
It'd be easier to buy her as a "badass" if we hadn't seen her repeatedly lose the belt on Raw, and she didn't spent her year-long title reign having daddy Flair and Dana need to constantly interfered to help her win.
Also last year's WM, when everything was screaming that Sasha should have won, yet they kept it on Charlotte (and with a lame finish to boot).
WWE doesn't know how to book babyfaces well most of the time though, so the effect is blunted. Bray is more entertaining and cool than many of them, so he gets cheered anyway.
-Neville wins CW title, good now he needs to have a nice long run with it.
I like Alexa to, but this feud is really trying my patience at this point.
Where she will spend 2 and 1/2 hours doing nothing but getting beaten down and humiliated constantly, and then lose in the end.
The main event was really fun. And it's nice to see Ambrose so over with the crowd.
Then have one of the women do it. They've teased her and Sasha having issues with each other. So if they don't want the whining from Mattel and co, then have one of the women (coughSashacough) finally snap and beat her up.
I've never bought Bayley as the "underdog" on Raw. Basically they're doing her no favors by trying to rehash her NXT storyline, but doing it FAR less effectively.
