House of horrors entertained me in a "so bad its good" kind of way, but just barely. I kept thinking back to ultimate warrior getting betrayed by jake the snake and bitten by the cobra. Just uber cheese

Yeah the Jake-Warrior vignettes were just something you had to see to believe lol

And I was also pleasantly surprised at Jericho winning

That was a pretty good PPV from start to finish, with the exception of that House of Garbage match. That was just awful, and made no sense. Pre-filming it like a movie took away any credibility it could have had, and then leaving for the arena makes no sense, nor does Orton arriving at the same time as Wyatt. But I didn't expect anything better from an Orton match.
The main event was good. I was pleasantly surprised that Strowman had such a dominant win over Reigns.

Well y2j is going on tour with fozzy very soon so we're still gonna get ko vs aj. I can see them doing a stretcher job with the rematch to write jericho off tv.

Alexa having the title for a few months is a good way to waste time until summerslam because bayley vs sasha deserves to be at one of the big 4 IMO.

Fairly uneven PPV overall. With both the Gallows and Anderson match and the Balor Miz TV segment on the pre-show I thought maybe that they were going to do something towards a Balor club faction, but both were just fairly run of the mill, predictable segments.

KO versus Jericho was a perfectly fine match, though I saw someone mention last night that they never really get the intensity/hatred coming across that you might expect following KO's dastardly actions at the Festival of Friendship, and I agree with that. Obviously Jericho isn't staying champion for long with the Fozzy tour coming up, but I don't mind him hot-shotting the title to someone just to keep everyone on their toes with an occasional surprise in a match we all think we know the ending to.

The cruiserweight match was solidly entertaining, though the booking seems a little odd unless they plan on keeping the title on Neville for a while longer.

Tag team title match was serviceable as well, did appreciate the beat down/heel turn afterwards though. Hopefully this leads to a certain breaking of one half of the tag team champions.

Solid women's title match. I don't mind Bliss getting the title because she's the best talker in that division by about a country mile. Anything to shake up the booking for the Raw women that's ranged from meh to head scratching over the last... year almost. I think we need to see Sasha turn on Bayley in the midst of what starts as a friendly rivalry over the number one contendership. Let a full on heel Sasha win the title at Summer Slam, and then do a big one on one match and a Bayley win after a long chase at next year's Mania.

The House of Horrors match was just stupid from start to finish. I award it zero points, and may god have mercy on creative's souls.

Joe vs Seth was decent, though I really think Joe should have gone over here. Seth beats Triple H with a bad knee, and then Joe a few weeks later... how does he ever lose once he's healed up? I guess if you want Joe to lose the pin counter to a submission was better than having Seth lay him out, but still.

Liked the main event, they've really got something special going with Braun. I was worried for a minute or two there at the end that they were going to pull a 2012 or so Cena and just have Reigns win anyway. Probably could have done without the post match stuff they did though.

Wow, what a shitty RAW. 30 full minutes of a women's devision segment to start things off. That just went on forever

and yet another week of the broken matt hardy cock tease. And honestly that was just a shitty segment in general (broken gimmick looming or not). They get the shit kicked out of them last night and then don't even get to lay a hand on shamus and cesaro. That was weak.

Not sure if many watch that 205 live show but I've been digging it.  That Noam Dar plays the role of a guy you want to see get beat up perfectly. And I really get a kick out of watching Jack Gallagher.

It's definitely not must see tv, but it usually has solid to very good matches.

Oh you're just on the Roman hate train. Besides not being a good wrestler, having a total of 3 moves, lacking charisma, being shit on the mic, and just being all around boring as fuck and still getting pushed to the moon, you don't have a legitimate reason to hate him.

They need to reunite The Shield. They clearly work better as a team, with maybe Seth being the exception. He's pretty good on his own. He just needs a good storyline. Dean is descending into the Reigns abyss. He needs to turn heel, and actually be crazy, and not just goofy zany hijinks Dean. He's not convincing as a lunatic. He could be the new Stone Cold, but they are writing him TERRIBLY.

I am ready to really like Ambrose, but yeah the booking is holding him back. Right now he feels like a poor man's Pillman, but the key thing is that Pillman was able to get over because he wasn't muzzled by creative. He pushed the envelope and forged his own character.

Now how much of that we could actually see in this PG era, who knows. But right now DA in his current form is just not convincing.

Maybe Braun Strowman could start going after Seth and Ambrose as well, in an attempt to show his "dominance" over the former mighty shield and they had to re-unite to defeat this mega enemy. I could be down for something like that.

They don't have to go to extremes like Pillman, but Dean can be a successful "lunatic" heel in the PG era. If Braun can tip over ambulances with someone inside, Dean can be crazy and menacing too. Sure, no blood makes it less effective, but just last Monday, Roman was bloody. Remember that "malfunctioning blood capsule" Roman had? I think as long as they aren't Eddie Guerreroing themselves, they can incorporate blood again. Smaller blood capsules maybe?

EDIT: Roman has already beaten Braun once on his own, so The Shield reuniting to take him out wouldn't make sense anymore.

Saw a small bar show last night and Kenny Omega returned home for a very rare appearance. He shows up for these shows once or twice a year. His match was fantastic last night taking on a couple of local guys in a tag match and he deserves to main eventing the Tokyo Dome

First of all, it's not fake. It's scripted. These are highly athletic performers executing difficult and sometimes dangerous stunts. Second of all, yes we know. But just like a movie of a tv show, the fact that what we're watching has predetermined outcomes doesn't stop us from enjoying it. Just like someone roots for their favorite characters to have success and get mad or upset when things don't go their way, we react the same way towards our favorite wrestlers. The two key differences between professional wrestling and tv shows or movies: the wrestlers all perform their own stunts and only get one take to get their lines right. They are trained professionals who are damn good at what they do and there are people who enjoy it just like any other tv show. If you don't like it, don't watch it and don't criticize or belittle those who do.

Fake or not, the Ric Flair chops to the chest in the 80's have got to sting just a bit
