Raw starting with Rollins cutting a talking segment short by hitting Elias with a chair, giving a two line promo and leaving then a match starts...all within 10mins.

Is WWE learning?

Nope. Did you see the card for the PPV Sunday?

Ricochet won the 5 way so he faces Joe on Sunday. Viking Raider Experience is back on TV. Segments are moving much more quickly too, like on Smackdown.

This is 100% WWE begging the smarks to return

Having a match within the first 10mins of Raw, Seth acting like he's got a spine for once as the champ, a bunch of people that have been background or not even on TV having time in the spotlight, promos from almost everyone (Lacey pls) being really good, and the matches were engaging as well. Even Roman had a good segment.

It definitely felt a lot different than the past month or so. I dunno, I actually felt compelled to watch this week when I normally just have it on the background.

And don't forget LOTS OF BARON CORBIN!! Because that's what we ALL wanted!

Stomping Grounds is like a re-run of Super Showdown with a few Mania rematches thrown in. So completely unexcited for it.

nachobro · « **Reply #6443 on:** June 18, 2019, 08:51:11 AM »

I think the ending actually showed Corbin how he should be booked: as a vicious dick. Not saying he's not good as a smarmy ass but 1) that's been ruined by bad writing for him. 2) every fucking wwe heel is a smarmy ass character.

So yeah it wasn't perfect but I'm willing to give WWE credit when they do something right and I think last night was a step up in quality.

Pointless trash and the main had an ending everyone saw coming. Hooray for Ricochet I guess, was obvious they were gonna throw the title on him since it was meant to be on a flippy guy and Rey died yet again. 'Throw it on some other flying midget dammit!'

It really gets to me how Cole calls various tag teams or female wrestlers "former champions." That's like the entirety of those divisions and seems so pointless.

I caught up on a couple of Network docs and man, Seth Rollins seems inescapably depressed and miserable. Even when he's a talking head in something like Becky's 24, he's so worn down and zombified. Then you'll see him walking around in other ones in the background or telling someone good job after a match and he's just in every shot.

And yet here he is, defending based Vince from his Shield bruh

Trent Dole · « **Reply #6463 on:** June 25, 2019, 06:57:06 PM »

People in the SA pro graps thread are declaring Seth is more terrible than Roman now cause of how much he is shooting his mouth off. I think that's a bridge too far but Rollins definitely needs to shut the fuck up.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #6464 on:** June 25, 2019, 07:04:24 PM »

I mean, I honestly don't give a shit about that sort of thing as long as they're not saying garbage person shit like racist crap or whatever. They can say wtf they want out of work about the biz and it won't bug me, obvs anything they say while still working in Vince's salt mines is suspect AF but whatever, who cares. Rollins has been booked pretty well (as far as WWE in 2019 goes, anyway, and compared to the rest of the shit show) so that's all I really care about. Just stop feuding him with Corbin, who is AT BEST a midcard heel, and stop feuding Becky with Lacey Evans, who needs to go back to NXT and figure out how to wrestle. And quit fucking pairing them up just cause they're fucking, who cares.

Heyman had been working on certain storylines and with certain talents, including Ronda Rousey, Brock Lesnar, Alexa Bliss and many others dating back far before that point. He's been in the inner circle when it comes to the creative process for some time without an official title. He and WWE have been circling around this deal for a long time and finally came to terms recently.

Quote

To say this is a massive return to form for Bischoff is a grand understatement. We are told that WWE approached him about the role and that his previous work in collaborating with Turner Broadcasting. Spike and other networks in building past TV series was one of the reasons Bischoff was pitched for the position.

Quote

We are told that they will be overseeing all aspects of their individual series, answering directly to Vince McMahon. They are now the top of the pyramid, respectively, for Raw and Smackdown but obviously McMahon will always have the last say. One WWE source compared their roles to Paul Levesque's in NXT in that they will be in charge, but it's still Vince's company.
