I'm kind of happy that I am not alone in puke segments being bothersome. Those are always the worst.
Are Ambrose and Reigns still bros, just attacking different heads of the hydra at the same time?
I don't think anyone in the history of wrestling has pulled off a cape as well as Barrett.
I have quietly hated Adam Rose for awhile, kept my mouth shut until I saw at least something in ring from him, still haven't seen anything that has impressed me.
I think we are getting to a point now where it might be time for crazy Luke Harper to go on his own.I really liked him on the indies.

Raw thoughts
-Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose are killing it, WTF is Roman Reigns up to? Seriously, Roman, get your head out of your ass, and kill Rollins.
-Speaking of heads in asses, I'm pretty sure we just saw the worst match we'll see Rollins in and that was RVDs fault. It was weird seeing Rollins in places just coming to a complete stop so RVD could finish flopping to the mat.
-According to the dirt sheets, during Big E's America promo, the Allied Powers had a reunion in the after life. After the promo was over, Luger was back to kitchen duty and Bulldog went back to being a roid advisor for Jesus. Benoit was not happy about his demotion, but hey you kill your family and then you don't get to always inject JC.
-If I never see Vicki do an Eddie impersonation again, I will be happy.
-Stephanie inherited some of her dads be a dick on TV genes.
-Cody might the Madonna of WWE. Dude does a damn fine reinventing himself.
-Bo Dallas has the best gimmick that probably isn't going anywhere, probably, I guess, I don't know. I love him.
-The Wyatte Family, do not care for there music, or Erik Rowan, but I love me some Bray and Luke. Luke is such a scary hidden gem.
-To bad BNB is out of action for awhile, no one does what he does with a cape.

-If I never see Vicki do an Eddie impersonation again, I will be happy. I think I have written many, many posts extolling Vickie Guerrero, but they were all written several years ago when I was watching Smackdown regularly. Back when she was hanging out with Edge and Laycool. She did an amazing job, but she chose a good time to bow out (maybe a couple of years ago would have been the best time), and I loved the send-off they gave her, and Steph sold the ever-living hell out of it. That was a very satisfying final chapter for me. I don't really want to see her come back either (what else can she do?), other than to accept a Hall of Fame induction.

I am also really enjoying the stuff with Rollins and Ambrose, but not so much with Reigns. Bo 'Butterfingers' Dallas is hilarious. I wouldn't mind seeing him making it to 50 and B0. Stardust is cool. Pretty sure he's going to uppercut Goldust in the nuts sooner or later, but it's good for now. Also, I am officially a Lemon.

AJ must have spent all that time off practising roll-ups. You can't be Divas Champion without mastering the fine art of the Diva Finish.

Raw thoughts, Raw Thoughts, Raw Thoughts...........
-Stephanie's White Mommy Dancing is hilarious.
-Feeling down? Drink a twisted tea, don't be a lemon be a......................I'm not finishing that. It's fucking stupid.
-How have Ambrose and Rollins progressed past Reigns so much in entertainment value?
-HHH needs to do his Cena impression more.
-AJ is back, looks like she had to win the belt, she has CM Punk's wedding to pay for.
-So they finally finished a match during a commercial break to promote that stupid app. Still not downloading it.
-Jack Swagger and Zeb Coulter are better at being American then Big E.
-Can RVD ruin any more segments? I be the answer is yes.
-I hope Sandow impersonates a gynecologist next and tells someone I saw your mother today, wanna smell my finger?
-Jericho was awfully rude to come back at the same time as Miz. It is a three hour show. I think Bray was just trying to teach Chris manners. I really do hope there feud is about manners, it would be a relaxing change of pace.

Feeling down? Drink a twisted tea, don't be a lemon be a......................I'm not finishing that. It's fucking stupid. That was absolutely terrible. Usually when they are shilling something they do it slightly better than that. Like the commentators with their bottles on the desk, every bottle just so happens to have the logo facing the camera. Reigns seems like the obvious choice for the WrestleMania push next year, but they really need to watch what they are doing with him in the next few months. Having him jumping straight into the main event scene when he isn't needed, seems like a mistake to me. It seems clear they are going to keep Cena champion until SummerSlam when Brock will probably challenge him, so they should have had Reigns hovering just underneath the main event destroying some heels before starting his build to Rumble success nearer the end of the year. Right now having him as a supporting act in title matches could backfire and ruin his momentum and appeal. I've been waiting on that happening for a while and am surprised they didn't try it earlier. Cesaro on a losing streak probably means he's winning the IC title. Also, that really sucks for Barrett. Hopefully he's back soon. I did find it funny that Triple H was making sure that Cena was practically dead before waving Rollins out. That's the lengths you have to go to to beat Cena. Rollins with the case and Ambrose haunting him is going to be fun. I'm loving how the crowds are going nuts for Ambrose, he really seems to be connecting well. His theme is cool too.

Oh wow, Triple H playing the part of Bischoff in Bischoff vs Cena for a couple of months could be awesome! I didn't even think of it like that

I had a bad feeling Adam rose was going to become another Santino. God that was terrible. They could've done so much better with rose. The actual gimmick is not bad but he's turned out to be so one dimensional and he's boring in the ring.
All 3 are a special breed of hungry young guys and we absolutely struck gold with them. It's hard enough to come across just one guy like either 3.
I think the best way to describe the recent turn of events is Rollins and Ambrose have more to prove than Reigns because all Reigns has to do is continue being the guy he was in the shield and he's golden. Rollins and Ambrose have a spot to fight for and they either can become complacent and risk falling off the grid, or turn shit up higher than ever and force everyone to notice them. They sure as hell turned it up. It shows how bad Rollins and Ambrose want to be the top guy. They won't just accept that the spot belongs to reigns and I think that's fucking awesome and exciting.
I don't think there's anything wrong with putting reigns in the main event now, under the conditions they've been under. Since he's one of multiple guys it makes him look legit and it gets us ready for him. I'm not even opposed to him getting that one early shot and coming up short for whatever reason. However, if they're going to have him win the title, he's definitely the guy for wrestlemania, meaning definitely no sooner than that.
But Reigns is definitely that guy. He's got that IT factor that doesn't come along very often. He's the only guy that can stare someone down and say nothing and generate a "this is awesome" chant. A lot of times a guy becomes a top guy simply because of how he fits in that role. For whatever reason, reigns seems totally like a legit threat to the main event. It's just something that's just there, like you just feel it. This isn't even me advocating for him. Are Rollins and Ambrose more "talented" overall? I'd say yes. But Reigns just feels like he's rightfully that guy, kind of like how Arnold Schwarzenegger is rightfully the terminator instead of say someone even really talented like Johnny Depp. That's the best way I can put it
They've got some fucking balls ending a match on break. That is such a cheap cheap fucking way of trying to get us to download their stupid fucking shitty app.
They ruined cesaro. I'm not even interested in him anymore. You want to talk about a failed chemistry experiment. Heyman and cesaro just don't do anything for each other. It's just one of those things that doesn't work and I can't put my finger on why except just blaming it on lack of chemistry and dumb booking. Wwe did a really shitty job capitalizing on that wrestlemania moment with cesaro in the last 3 month. This whole cesaro thing just went completely south in my eyes. I'm very disappointed about bad news Barrett too. He became one of my favorite reasons to watch raw.
I love the way they are booking this feud. Whoever thought to turn Rollins heel and keep Ambrose face deserves a raise. Ambrose is such a natural antagonist and they managed to successfully make him an attitude era throwback face instead. It's totally working. Ambrose is becoming one of the most over faces in the company and it's safe to say Rollins is the hottest heel right now. Typical wwe booking today would've been to make Ambrose an authority wildcard and have him be the guy that they knew was crazy and stupid enough to manipulate. I'm so glad they did it this way instead.
When Rusev and Lana called out an American on Raw, I was thinking how awesome it would be if it was actually swagger and zeb. I had my doubts but I'm so glad they did it. I was thinking, watch them bring out Irish Sheamus to defend America with his US belt and give it that generic ironic PG feel. Zeb and Lana going back and forth has gold written all over it and this feud just feels so fresh. I mentioned earlier in the week that I'm starting to finally become more interested in Rusev too. I think this feud has so much potential. Please don't fuck this up.

I'm pretty sure TNA ended a match during a commercial break a few years back. During a taped show, to boot.
What exactly is going on with Sandow? Is there a reason why they've just completely given up on him and his gimmick? I remember Charlie Haas doing this same thing a few years back and it didn't do much for him in the long term either.

It's weird, usually they do this shit to guys if They pissed off the company or really let them down someway. Apparently sandow has a great attitude about everything. They did an interview with him a couple months back about his push and he pretty much responded with, that's the problem with talent today. It's this push thing. Anytime you get time to go out on tv and get a chance to entertain it is a good day at the office. He even said that he had zero bitterness about losing the MITB to cena because it was a good turning point in his career. It's not like he sucked or wasn't getting over either. So this is one of those situations that really make you wonder "why him?"

I'm actually enjoying Sandow as a different guy each week. Bret Sandhart was a good one. RAW was OK this week, although it did have a lot to live up to after last week. Fandango on commentary was funny, but the best part of the show was Bo Dallas v El Torito. ![](http://cdn3.vox-cdn.com/fan_shot_images/334616/VVdl5Rf.gif) Bo is hilarious P.S. Luke Harper is officially my current favourite wrestler. Even ahead of Bo. That guy is so good to watch. And the new entrance for him and Rowan with the new and better theme music is cool.

Luke Harper is awesome. I'm still saying it now. He will go down as one of the most underrated guys in wwe history. I just can't see him being a big name outside of the Wyatts. But he really is great in the ring and fun ta watch maychel!
I'm actually starting to get pissed at raw again. They have enough decent guys to make a much better show. The writing and presentation is just becoming watered down and boring again

That tag match at the PPV was really good until they had the Usos win again. I want Luke Harper to be the tag team champions! Rollins and Ambrose going at it all night long was also good. The rest of the PPV was OK, but I kept being disappointed by the winners. Cena, Miz, Jericho, Usos, etc.
