Raw opens with Rollins out to tell the roster and crowd how the show sucks.  Brilliant.  Great way to keep people watching- bet the crowd is happy.  :lol

Didn't the year START with the McMahons coming out and saying the show sucked and blaming it all on Corbin?

But this time it's Seth instead and blaming it on everyone!

"King, when was the last time you saw that kind of destruction from a tag team?"

"Last night, when NXT destroyed Raw."


It's funny because Raw won the tag match.  :doge

AOP comes out and attacks Owens.  Match is stopped.  Rollins acts like they're going to attack him, then they just leave and he continues the beat down on Owens.

“Vince is done with Humberto Carrillo for the time being. He’s giving him the ‘Cedric Alexander.’ Like you’re still gonna see him on TV. I’m sure he’s gonna win here and there, but like it’s exactly like Cedric Alexander. He got a few weeks, Vince thought he wasn’t getting over, so he’s just — he’s done.”

Mauro is not calling NXT this week.

I don't think what Corey Graves said was anything remotely offensive at all and was just criticism, but at the same time you would think that he of all people would know about Mauro's mental health and might not do something like that.  :doge

Apparently he issued a half-assed apology on a podcast but didn't even name names. I wonder if WWE is pissed?

It'll probably be Tom Philips or another play by play guy, but I could see them doing that.

i like mauro even if he's a bit much at times, and i actually kinda agree with that graves tweet. but if any critique is gonna make the dude shut down his entire life for weeks at a time, i dunno what can be done about that other than just not looking at social media.

I feel for him, I think we share some traits in this emotional regard, but the difference between Mauro and me is that I‘m not dumb enough to think a notoriously mean industry is going to suck in its gut to make me feel welcome. I’d also never be dumb enough to force a baker that hates me to bake me a gay wedding cake. It’s just a stupid idea, and you’re asking for it.

Apparently this is all due to his bipolar disorder and he can tell when it's going to kind of flare up and bother him- this past week was one of those times and he had reached out to people about it, saying that he could still work regardless, but then the Graves thing just set him off.  It's supposedly not that he has an issue with all criticism or anything like that, but with people he works with or knows personally saying stuff like that.

I feel for him, I think we share some traits in this emotional regard, but the difference between Mauro and me is that I‘m not dumb enough to think a notoriously mean industry is going to suck in its gut to make me feel welcome. I’d also never be dumb enough to force a baker that hates me to bake me a gay wedding cake. It’s just a stupid idea, and you’re asking for it.

Isn't this the second time this has happened to him?  The first was when known bully and asshole JBL was harassing him, so to defuse everything, they moved Mauro to NXT and after JBL left, he didn't want to go back to Smackdown since he was happy where he was.

I saw an article that basically summed things up as "Mauro doesn't need WWE, WWE needs Mauro" (in terms of the job situation).  So maybe he will just call it quits, but the guy genuinely seems to love doing NXT commentary and it really shows, so I like him as an announcer.

I like Mauro, but at like a 7 and he usually tries to ratchet shit up to 11. The pop culture references should be used more sparingly in general by ALL double double e commentary teams, but you can't really single him out for that shit BECAUSE THEY ALL DO IT, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT VINCE WANTS. Mauro is just more obnoxious about it.

I feel for the dude but at the same time... I don't really think the "WWE needs Mauro" thing really applies anymore. NXT would be fine with bland ass Tom Phillips or Vic on commentary. The major difference is that whoever is calling matches isn't going to have Vince in your ear but HHH instead, and absence of Vince generally equals better commentary from what I can tell. The best matches Michael Cole has called in a decade were the Mae Young classic matches where he could just go out there and fucking work and not have to get catchphrases in, shill stupid angles, and sell mobile phones and chicken fingers. The WWE commentary problem is largely structural and Vince related.

I don't know how Vince can even stomach doing his job. He's been doing this shit since the early 1970s, never taking any time off, always at TV, always producing, always working at home. How could he possibly have any passion or creativity left?

It's the only way he can get an erection, same as Paul Ryan and strangling hobos

Back from the break, Daniel Bryan's music hits and the former World Champion makes his way down to the ring. Bryan gets on the mic and he talks about Wyatt offering him a Universal Title rematch if he "lets him in."

....

Wyatt asks if Bryan remembers how he helped change Wyatt, because The Fiend remembers. Wyatt says he almost forgot - he promised a "new face" tonight, and he's a man of his word. The lights in the building turn red and The Fiend pops out from the ring and tries to pull Bryan down under the ring. Bryan fights back, but The Fiend is able to lock him in the mandible claw.

The Fiend pulls Bryan down into the hole in the ring that he popped out of. The Fiend pulls his hands up and it looks like he has chunks of Bryan's hair in his hands. The Fiend pulls up more hair from the hole in the ring and throws it on the canvas. We hear laughing over the arena speakers, and we cut to black.

WTF  :lol

I guess it's more comedy bits using the screen. Used to be slideshows of photoshoped pics to be "embarassing" but now it's more "goofy" edited video things. The most recent example is a couple weeks ago when Corbin played Roman's entrance titantron with a puppy barking over it.

After Fiend/Bryan is done, I kinda want to see Bray Wyatt just mess with Corbin for months on end. I want to see if WWE will continue to push the shitty promos as far as possible.
