I only saw the Cesaro burial :snoop:

The FandanGawd losing streak :snoop:

And the Contract signing :krs:

I don't give a shyt that it's between two people I dont want to see wrestle, this is how you build a match. Long term booking, a great heel and a babyface getting that sympathy :banderas:

Gullanie McMahon is top heel in the biz. Those Pedigrees looked so mean and real. :banderas: Steph ramming Bries head in the desk looked great. I've liked the build toward Summerslam. We shouldn't get any matches thrown together. Everything has their own little story throughout the card. I doubt it keeps up after Night Of Champions but ill enjoy it for now

Surprised people are giving Del Rio props in the ring recently. There has been so much lying and fronting on his abilities because he don't get Stephanie level heat. Kind of stupid but that goes without saying.

The one thing I hate about WWF is they restrict the talent. Cats can know 100 moves but vince only lets them use 8. And then its always a sequence. Same exact setups/counters to finishers.

Just watched the Steph/Brie ending...it really feels like the main event..I can't believe it. Stephanie kind of stumbled on that last sentence but she was alright. Brie emphasizes on points unnaturally but it's all good. She's never been in this position before and she can't roll off of Bryan.

I wonder if Bryan makes a guest appearance at Summerslam if it gets too out of hand and they don't just do the obvious heel turn with Nikki.

:russ: This week they will say, "Daniel Bryan has a SPECIAL announcement for SummerSlam Next Week" on RAW.

:bryan: "I will be in the front row"

Live Raw notes

After the WWE Superstars taping, we got right to raw. Lots of heat on The Authority and, of course, Roman Reigns is really over.

The commercial breaks are very strange. The wrestlers just stand in the ring or on the stage doing nothing until the show comes back on.

I'm not sure how it came across on TV, but the crowd seemed to really be into the entire Last Man Standing match.

The crowd seemed to stay hot throughout the show.

When the Oklahoma Sooners' music played the crowd popped when they thought it was Jim Ross and then started booing once they realized it was not and because it was the music of the Longhorns' rival.

After one of the matches, about 30 stagehands came out from the back and moved the ring back towards the announce table. Apparently it had moved.

Michael Cole had to go backstage and change his suit after Dean Ambrose got soda all over him.

The dark main event was Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, and Big show beating Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, and Bray Wyatt. The babyfaces won to send the crowd home happy.

I will say it's very obvious that WWE is cutting costs. There was no pyro except for Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam, and Rusev when his flag came down. Big Show had his usual pyro also.

Several signs were taken by WWE staff. One guy had a black sign with a name on it. He kept walking back and forth behind the floor seating on the side the cameras were facing. He had a kid in his hand. They came and took his sign and didn't tell him why.

WWE has also raised the prices on their t-shirts since the last time I bought them at an event. $30 for most of them except for one of the Cena shirts was $35.

I have been to two Raws now with the three-hour format, and this one didn't seem to drag on live. The last one I went to seemed to go on forever.

They did and good job of playing videos to keep the crowd into things. No return date was given. Overall, not a bad show. I do find it really irritating that you are two weeks away from your second biggest pay per view of the year and your main event participants were not on the show.

I also never knew what big roles the referees play. They keep everything moving. They were rushing wrestlers out of the ring area after matches and promos.

After the dark match, about 150 guys came out to start tearing down. It's amazing how fast they move.

Justin Roberts stayed out across out at ringside as they were tearing down taking pics with fans.
