Catching up on the DVR and just finished the opening segment. Good job wwe (mainly Joe). You got me to care about a Bork match again.

Edit: Elias Sampson is so **** awesome.

Oh but Gallagher's always on Raw right? He can't even get on 205 Live anymore

First time since the day after Mania that I've enjoyed a full episode of Monday Night Raw.

*Heyman was brilliant as usual on the mic. Having Joe come out and take the first shot on Lesnar was good booking.
*Elias Sampson is money. I didn't watch him much in NXT, he's been one of the few bright spots on Raw on the last few weeks.
*I've been enjoying the mystery person(s) attacking Enzo and now Cass. I think Cass is faking the attacks on himself and this is leading to those guys splitting with Cass going heel.
*The Goldust and Truth vignettes are good. They are doing their job of building up interest in their eventual match.Those guys are too talented to have been reduced to dark match comedy acts.
*I'm probably one of the few guys who enjoys Booker T on commentary, he works well with Cory.
*King Neville has been fantastic since his heel turn. I don't watch 205 live but he's been fun everytime I've seen him on Raw and the PPV's.
*Titus Lavar Ball has been entertaining. If it means more tv time for Crews and him gaining some personality I'm all for it.
*Bray cheated on his wife with Jojo? Can't blame him.

Two of those guys don't belong. The fat "tough" guy and the cruseirweight comedy act.

The cruiserweight comedy act is the only guy up there who has put on a four star match in the past year.

4 star match? Based on whose tastes? The only taste that matters is the one that makes people pay their hard earned money to see them.

You weren't a fan of his PPV match with Neville? One of the better Raw PPV matches of the past year imo. Not that that's a particularly high bar.

That's a future WrestleMania match, not SummerSlam. Cena/Reigns should never cross paths until then. Just like Cena/Rock.

I'd get behind a John Cena vs Goldberg matchup to be honest.

Can't believe you guys keep getting trolled by the same "character" every few months.


Anyway....

Big Show did not hold back on Talk Is Jericho when discussing his dislike for the current creative process of tv. Being towards the end of his career he's in full on DGAF mode.

http://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2017/6/15/15806998/big-show-quote-talk-is-jericho-critical-hates-wwe-tv-prefers-house-shows
I love the live events; I love the Friday, Saturday, Sunday live event shows.

I hate TVs. TVs I just want to bash myself in the head with a hammer, cause they’re just long, useless, time-wasting, bullsh*t days where you sit around all day for some frickin’ idea that absolutely sucks. Debating it for hours, 17,000 different inputs, you know, one or two guys laced their wrestling boots up in there live and they’re talking, and the other ones have never laced up a pair and don’t know sh*t, but for some reason they’re telling you what to do.

So, you’re just walking around baffled, going “Why are we doing this?”

I like the live events. There’s not as much BS backstage, it’s just me and the guys. I like that part. I like getting out and working.

I’ve done a lot of things were I just walk down and I knock somebody out and I leave. I hate that. I get it - I’m old, I’m beat up and they’re trying to help me out and trying to extend me, but I like getting in the ring.

I was very happy last night, I was with Luke Gallows because I ride with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. I was riding with Luke last night and I said, “Man, that is... the most fun I’ve had in awhile because I actually got to get in there and tell a story and work.”

And that’s the thing at heart — whether you like my character or not, and most of the sh*t I’ve done on TV and pay-per-view I didn’t get to pick to do anyway, so don’t be mad at me, be mad at the people that booked this sh*t — but getting in the ring, I love working.

The stuff that’s going on now, there’s a lot of change going on, there’s a lot of new talent with a lot of new opportunities. I’m OK with it, they should get the TV time, they should get the pay-per-view time. I’m totally fine with it.

Just don’t make me come on Mondays when I don’t have to do anything. That sh*t pisses me off. If I’m coming, use me, if I’m not, send me home.
Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, it's bobsled time!

Don't think Goldberg would comeback to put a plug over like Reigns.

I think it will be the obvious. Roman comes out and says he wants the winner of Joe/Brock. Braun takes exception to this and comes out to beat Roman down. They have a number one contender match at GBoF. Strowman wins and faces Lesnar at Summerslam.

Great info by big show! That's awesome. He's a smart and astute guy and I can certainly appreciate where he's coming from there. He understands his position and is totally fine with it but don't waste his time.

And the writing... what can anyone say... we all know it's complete trash. Nice to see a spade called a spade by an active performer though.
