Chris Jericho is taking over the Kevin Owens Show and making it Raw is Jericho. Jericho continues to be the best thing on the show.

I think you are also less likely to be cynical do to the positivity of the event.

That was Mikey, not Mitch. Mikey was the short one. Mitch was the one that couldn't wrestle.

I really enjoyed the Miz/Dolph segment as well as the Dean Ambrose promo on Cena. Dean hit Cena harder with his words than other wrestlers Cena faced, like Punk, Rock, or Bryan. He basically berated Cena's whole persona as fake, and Cena (the character and I imagine the person) had no response. These segments really…

Also Kendrick did a great job of working the neck in the match, which made TJP tapping out more understandable.

Well I dont have any argument there. I think Sami Zayn is actually the best wrestler in the WWE. But I dont mind just getting some wrestling every now and a day. On a show where I think a lot of storyline advancement (despite the objections of the reviewer) happened, I can appreciate a straight up wrestling match on…

I was there for the show live, and I have to say a completely disagree with this review. It was a really entertaining show and one of the better Raws that I have been to. It was a solid show that built to the main event well.

Yeah, I'm well aware. but it's not out of the question for him to do one 5 on 5 match. He doesn't need to present for all the build.

Loved that Ziggler segment. He's putting the best mic work of his career this year. It felt real, and really sold the stakes of that IC Title match at No Mercy.

There is no patience when it comes to building performers nowadays. All the cruiserweight guys are debuting, and each crowd will be learning who they are. High-flying gets you applause, but it doesnt get you over in the long run. It might take time, but a guy like Perkins wrestling with his own unique style will get…

I like the show a lot, but moreso about the premise and the characters as opposed to comedic element. I didnt laugh a whole lot, but I was really entertained. I don't know who they will keep it up an entire season (let alone series), but its a good premiere.

Depends on what you mean by soon. I think they are building to Joe vs Nakamura 2 for the next Takeover, so I wouldnt expect to see him before that. I believe the next takeover will be in November.

You have to remember that regardless of whatever Swagger is on the show, in real life he's a legit wrestler and tough guy that weighs 260 pounds. Talking Smack does cross the line between real and fiction, and that's what Dean was probably going for.

Dean called out Cena on his artificial criticism on Talk Smack. Cena just borrowed credibility from Austin to make a false argument. Dean has done more to push the envelope on WWE programming than just about any other WWE talent currently with the company. His promos are filled with passion and fire, and his talking…

I dont get why you have the Cruiserweight Champion TJ Perkins backstage, but don't have him wrestle on the show. Do we really need two squash matches with both Bo and Braun? Give TJ Perkins a local wrestler and let him do his thing. I know they might want to reserve him for Clash of Champions, but he still needs to be…

I think he got the chant last week because the crowd was tired. It was the last match in a long taping. I think he will be fine, and to be honest, I think TJP has to rise to occasion like Cedric did and get over in that match.

Dar is the one that is all flash. He isnt connecting with the audience. Sabre Jr has been a huge disappointment in my opinion. He's show no fire throughout the tournament. He's coasting on his name, and that's the only reason he's in the semi-finals. I can understand putting the other five in front of TJP due to…

Being a showboat doesnt mean you arent a good sport. That's why Perkins always shakes his opponents hands before the match. Swann is a bit of a showboat as well.

It didnt help that Mick Foley opened the show comparing their mismanaged division with Smackdown's. Raw had the star power, but Smackdown's team seemed to know to make a division, you need more than two or three viable contenders. For example, rather than going with Nikki or Natalya as the final competitor eliminated…

The only team badass enough to take the titles off the New Day right now? They are only in contention by being the only real heel team around. There is no fire to them and they have lost all their momentum with AJ on Smackdown. They are coasting on the Bullet Club identity rather than bringing anything worthwhile to…
