I'd make raw WAY shorter. Keep it punchy and fast paced. I think the show would then be a lot more interesting. Which I think would make the next generation more interesting, which I think would make the PPVs more interesting.
I think it's partially USA's (broadcasting Network) fault since they insisted that Raw be 3 hours long. Anyway, someone mentioned the PBP/Color guys, well the group they have on RAW is totally horrible and really waters down the product. I haven't heard the Smackdown guys but they can't be worse and Lawler went back to being a real heel. Add in stuff like the way they shoot the matches now (can't describe it, they take really weird angles at times during the match) and all these little things and you have a product that is poor.
Oh and I'd dump some of the PPV anyway. Some of them are just redundant and really are rematches from the last PPV anyway.
I'm shocked they did the right thing last night and let AJ Styles win instead of going with Jericho. It was a fun match even if I did get a little annoyed at guys kicking out of Jericho's finisher multiple times (another complaint I have).

I can't really buy any media conspiracy theories against Trump. They have been invaluable to his campaign with the over the top amount of coverage he receives. Sure, they can be critical of him, but they've also been his biggest asset.
Bingo. They've given him a gazillion free hours of publicity. Who needs to pay for campaign ads when the media covers you every day for free?
I can see how his "telling it like it is" strategy appeals to people, but the problem I have is I don't find him genuine. I also don't think he knows what he is talking about half of the time.
Agree again. I don't think his solutions make much sense. Stuff like making Mexico pay for the wall is ridiculous.
If Trump implodes and I think the possibility just went up a few percentage points....where is a legitimate alternative? Kasich the only politician in the race I like but he doesn't have a chance unless they give it to him at the convention.
Cruz is going to win it in a brokered convention. And he's actually worse than Trump because I believe Trump would work together with lawmakers to find solutions to the problems that ail this country. Cruz believes all the shit he spews.
Oooh, just remembered that Trump could bring up the fact that Cruz was born in Canada. Honestly, I'm surprised no one has brought that up a bit more.

It wasn't one of the worst WMs of all time, it wasn't good though either.
- Reigns was loudly booed by most of the people there. Commentators no sold it and the match was dull.
- The best match was probably the women's title match.
- Lesnar/Ambrose was just okay, but not what people were expecting. It was also a little over 10 minutes too for some reason.
- A.J./Jericho was what already happened multiple times on TV. Jericho beat A.J. clean which really makes no sense whatsoever, but okay.
- Shane dived off the Hell in The Cell and landed through the table. I know people love the spot, but the match was absurd and silly. Shane can't do a non silly looking punch and watching Undertaker sell for Shane was too much off a suspension of disbelieve. This match made no sense, I guess Shane just wanted to let his kids see him have a match...
Everything else was filler.
God bless you for sitting through 6 hours of this shit so the rest of us don't have to. HHH-Reigns was just a bad match any way you look at it. HHH can't really elevate any match he is in where his opponent is shittier than him. Stick him in there with someone who can go and he can at least try to keep up. I saw a clip of that Shane spot and it just seemed kind of dumb and pointless.
Was HHH-Reigns worse than the snoozer at 25 between HHH/Orton?
At least RAW should be entertaining tomorrow. I can't wait to hear more Reigns boos.

With pre show/aftershow this year it's basically 7 hours at Mania.
Oof. That's brutal. I wonder how much actual ring time there will be there. I can tell that the intros/video packages/music/promos will take up a ton of time.

KOHD
Am I the only one who hates this song (the UYI version anyway)?
#926 Re: Guns N' Roses » Secret show: April 1, L.A.? » 553 weeks ago
I don't use Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, or any of the other Millenial bullshit. I do expect the GN'R guys to show more energy on stage. They look tired as hell. Probably Axl's fault for not being ready until midnight I guess.
How can you get this off 5-10 seconds of video? I get you hold them to a higher standard but it seems kinda nitpicking at this point. At least Axl isn't at the Vince Neil stage.

Apparently, they're playing CD now.

I can't either. I mean I hear something but it's just drowned out by all the background noise.

Yeah, but they had their cameras rolling for the UYI tour and the House of Blues 2001 gig, and we never got to see a fucking thing. I've been burned once too often on that score to have any faith that we'll see a professionally-filmed frame of footage from this gig.
The optimist in me sees that they are finally a cohesive unit for the first time in YEARS and that might make a release of (insert your favorite concert from 87-93) a likliehood. HOB or tonights gig would be a really good extra on a high def concert release.
