Define cheap in this context.

I've had a go at describing what I think cheap means and why I think it disparages Breeze. You haven't even said if you agree or disagree with my description.

He should've attacked Stone Cold and/or The Undertaker.

I think the subtle hints towards Taker and the obviously not so subtle hints at Austin were good enough, IMO. I'm hoping/expecting him to go after Rollins/Strowman on Sunday.

While I would've preferred The Fiend to go after Austin or Taker, I'm appreciating the slow, methodical build they are doing with the character. It keeps us disappointed, yet hooked at the same time. Not really going to the same formula that we have been accustomed to.

Kofi (c) vs Brock 10/4 on the first SD on Fox, very nice. Definitely would've preferred if he kept MITB and surprised cashed in instead. But Brock actually wrestling on TV again is pretty huge, wonder if it's gonna be a regular thing.

They need to perform in the ratings immediately, so they're pulling out all the stops

Still hoping Tommaso Ciampa is the mastermind behind Harper/Rowan, he'd fit well and would be a huge addition to the main roster.

I'm a huge Harper mark so I'm elated to see him back (and RUSEV MATCHKA on Raw!), but I'm a bit worried. How is this going to be different than the Bludgeon Brothers?

Part of the problem with the Bludgeon thing was underbooking, that's on WWE to fix. The other part is that, to me anyway, Erick Rowan is a huge charisma black hole. I have no interest in watching him in the ring or listening to him out of it. Bring back Harper but give him a different partner or let him fly solo for a while, please.

Bryan/Harper/Rowan vs Reigns/Usos is what they're setting up hopefully

The Manila live show was fun. DB and Kofi match had lots of grappling and holds and both were playing off crowd reactions. Both were faces.

Bryan is the MVP.

Remember when Buddy Murphy was the hottest thing in wrestling for like a good 2-3 weeks in August and then
went completely AWOL? also where the hell is Aleistar Black at?

These 2 guys as well as Andrade and Ali need to be drafted to RAW better chance of them getting more TV time
on the 3 hour show then the soon to be top heavy 2 hour Smackdown.

They probably have nothing for these guys right now. Once the draft happens all those guys will be on TV a lot more I'm sure.

If Heymans really writing RAW, im very disappointed in him. ECW Paul Heyman, hell, even Smackdown Paul Heyman would have used EC3's talents and turned him into a million dollars

The draft and sticking to the brand split will help a lot of people. With the stupid wild card rule you see a lot
of people on both shows to much. Lately Sasha, Bayley and the Revival are on both shows probably others.

As for Heyman and Bischoff as expected I've noticed zero changes since they "took over". Pretty much Vince
signed them to big deals and gave them fancy tittles to keep them away from AEW.

Shame too. Paul Heyman + no money issues = amazing product.

I'll admit to being a huge Rock mark back in the day but yeah this is lame. This was the obvious play since the show is named after his catchphrase and all, but....

Now give me the unexpected Punk return and you got something....

That would be surreal but if he does come back, I'm thinking it would be during SS weekend seeing how it's in Chicago.

Give me a Fiend attack on Rock.
