That heel run created one of the worst crowd chants in WWE history.

Which was awesome at the time.


The Macarena and parachute pants were awesome at the time too.

Also the best stretch of matches of his career.

Per WON, Jason Jordan is having trouble gripping as his neck is in really bad shape. Says it's similar to the injury Edge had and if they opt for surgery it could take 12-14 months to recover.

F*** that sucks.

Especially a shame because he was just starting to nail being a d-bag heel.

didn't expect him to commit to the character that well to be honest.

it does suck for him though. I kind of hope they keep him on screen though (like angle in a wheelchair with that lift they had on smackdown).

They have to cut down on the amount of house shows, period.

They don't necessarily need to cut down on the number of shows, but they need to cut down on the amount of shows each wrestler performs at, or structure matches so that guys essentially get nights off where they only have to take a bump or two while their tag partner(s) shoulders the full load for the evening.

I remember going to two NXT house shows where a lot of the guys were putting on Takeover level matches and thinking there's no way these guys can sustain this. And that was with a LIGHT in comparison schedule.

Thing is, I don't think wwe ever changes things. As I've said before, with no competition there is no such thing as guys that "draw" anymore. The company is the draw. They treat these guys and gals not as people but as business assets. They can just keep signing all the top Indy talents for low salaries and keep the machine going with their house show tours. One guy goes down, just put someone else in his place. Sucks for the workers that put their heart and souls into it only to end up with a low salary, no benefits and a lifetime worth of pain when WWE deems them unusable.

also they replaced Enemies as the theme of raw. You know the best theme they've had in a decade. This company has an obsession with bad 'contemporary' (its already dated anyway) music that doesn't fit a wrestling show.

Rockstar Spud isn't a GM name, not to mention it's pretty terrible. Drake Maverick isn't that great either but it's better than his previous.
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.

"Roy 365 days, seven days a week. Roy has no weaknesses in his game."

WTH was up with that ending to RAW? Did something happen to where they needed to kill 5 minutes?

Reading a recap...did Nia really say that she's the only woman that Asuka can't beat?

She does realize that NXT exists in WWE kayfabe, right? Hell, Asuka beat her on Raw last month!

that raw wasn't really that good. Outside Brawn of course being the top babyface in the company and Seth calling out Jordan (who surely is close to being heel now).
