Well, watching the pre-show. They have figured how to make this have a play-off feel with WM being the big game. 


So far, Renee Young has a major speech impediment.


Foley gave Rusev and Kinder 1on1 but coming to the ring at the same time and choosing who goes first. Kinda weird.


Cesaro & Sheamus interviewed staying they want another shot at the tag belts. It sounds like we may see them tonight.

Renee has always had an issue with her "s" sounds. But it's nothing that takes away from her work.

I like Rusev's new look.

Swann and Tozawa defeat Kendricks and Dar as Swann hit the Phoenix Splash on Dar for the pin.

Samoa Joe put it out there with Sammy.  Even though it was predictable including the end, it was fun to watch them go.

[dam skippy]

Banks vs Jax went way too long.  Banks got the roll-up win. I figured Jax was going over. 


The Club came off looking lucky in their win, that's a shame.

The last 30 minutes was Rusev and Kinder getting beat and a 2nd Austin Airies vignette. Perhaps he may be the one to make it to WM for the Cruisers.

Jack is going to be sore tomorrow.  Nice match with Neville.

[KoppoKick]

I remember when New Day did that angle with Edge and Christian at Fastlane 2016.  Whatever happened to the Edge and Christian show on the Network?

[KoppoKick]

The Angry Red Sox Fan made that table spot even more awesome.

Whoever booked Strowman doing a frog splash should be fired. That was horrible booking. There's no reason for him to do that. 

[KoppoKick]

Are they really going to end the show with back to back title changes?

[dam skippy]

I figured Sasha was going heel. I was wrong. What way to taint Bailey ending Charlotte's record. 

[EDGECRUSHER]

I still think it's such a waste to put the title on Goldberg for his match with Brock. Even worse doing it in a 30 second squash, knowing full well Bill and Brock have to go at least 20 minutes if they want to close out Wrestlemania.

[dam skippy]

That was awful.  5 minute match with 20 seconds of offense. Kevin Owens looks dumber than Brock.

[Prime]

I was surprised they went with the quick squash. I thought maybe cause it was a title match they'd let it go a bit and at least have Owens look decent - you can always do the Jericho interruption at any point in the match.

[dam skippy]

I am afraid they have set themselves up here.  With the Brock match, assuming he wins, he either outlasts Goldberg, which makes Goldberg look like a hard to hit low HP Boss in a video game or he squashes him and the fans are pissed off at the quick match.   I'm sure Goldberg and Lesnar will draw some buys because of their MMA ties and such but the fans are ones that stick through it after the big show.


I actually feel bad for Charlotte.  She had an awesome record it was beaten in a goofy way.  I know it's a story-line but she has been the Women's Anchor for over a year now.  It's a shame it went flat like it did.


It seem like they may have too many stars to offer simple 1on1 rules, even with the tag teams.  I wouldn't be surprised if there are more triple threats and 4 way matches than usual.

[FATSEXY]

Charlotte is really sexy. In typical RAW fashion, the person who is supposed to be the heel acted like the face. My only big knock against Charlotte is that she played to the hard camera too much.


Bayley has the feel of a wrestler performing in an Armory. She looks like a gym teacher. I don't get her appeal.


It boggles the mind how stupid the bookers on RAW are. Goldberg vs. Brock doesn't need a belt to sell it.


Fatty Steen deserved better. I hope Goldberg is paying off in the ratings. Goldberg the guy is a super dickhead and I can't stand to listen to him talk about how great he is... but Goldberg is one of my favorite wrestlers ever. Beast.

[SCB]

I thought Braun losing clean to Reigns was a waste. He's on the rise as the next big thing and Roman doing his Superman win over him after all that derails his momentum. Undertaker costing Reigns the match would have worked better if that's where they're headed. Braun is a walking dream match with guys like Brock and Undertaker like they've teased


Goldberg has been used terribly. He's super over, but no one wants to see these squash matches where there's zero offense against him. Now the belt is a prop and so is Owens.


Joe vs Sammy was great, but that's expected.
