Rusev isn't a native English speaker and his command of the language far exceeds Reigns'.

As entertaining as guys like Mark Henry, Big Show, and even Kane can be with the right booking nowadays, there’s usually very little legitimate reason given onscreen for why they’re kept around, especially in high profile roles.

Chyna was out there just to remind us how homoerotic DX was. Kind of like Alexa Bliss with Blake and Murphy….

The WWE doesn't understand wrestlers like Slater (or Dillinger in NXT) who get over despite having terrible roles because they are decent in the match and get the crowd invested. They treat them like junk when they are pure gold, the kind of guys who can lose ten matches in a row and still come out and have the crowd

I meant to comment, but first, I had to #BeatupJohnCena.

Dillinger - Alams at Takeover was a surprise awesome match that made both competitors look good. The rematch was a step back for both, but a bigger step back for Almas, as the crowd now hates him. Dillinger can job to everyone and the crowd will go crazy anytime he gets close to a win.

Rusev learned English because "even stupid Americans can speak it." No reason to pretend he speaks in broken English, he gets insults better than the WWE creative team.

Sonic has great beverages for fast food, nothing like a Route 44 slushee. Food is mediocre.

She came out of nowhere to have a great match with Charlotte at Roadblock (the WWE Network's upgraded house show), but she's done nothing since.

I saw a Smackdown taping (way back in 2002), realized how heavily scripted it is for the cameras. On the other hand, did NXT live event in Spokane a few weeks ago, and it was amazing.

"sister / wife / girlfriend"
Is that a reference to Game of Thrones?

Rounding the time for each match up, there was a grand total of 45 minutes of actual bout across three hours of WWE RAW.
Come on WWE, you can do better.

Cena's a smart guy and a hard worker. Whatever he does post-wrestling, he'll succeed.

I remember thinking, when I first saw the Vaudevillains, what a pair of hipsters. It'll take time for the crowd to figure them on. It doesn't help that they are coming up when the best talker since The Rock is teaching audiences how to spell.

You should check out politics. It's way more of a work than the WWE.

The WWE doesn't need Vince, Stephanie, or HHH as actors. Everyone knows that HHH is doing an amazing job running NXT and is a decent guy, there's no need for him to come out and be booed each Monday night.

You've solved your own problem. Charlotte managed to get over as a heel by cheating constantly, and interference from Ric Flair.
The problem with Rollins was booking. Rollins should have been beating jabronis / midcarders left and right, only needing to resort to cheating against top stars.

Lana is a heel, but she looks good in heels, so the crowd has a real hard time booing her.

I thought the jacket distraction was silly. I expected Ric to interfere, but tossing in a jacket is lame. Grabbing an arm for extra leverage is classic and cheap, and doesn't make Becky Lynch look silly by messing with a jacket in the middle of a submission move.

I first heard Cage The Elephant in the opening to the original Borderlands, not on the radio.
