[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Looks like he needs a bath imo.

[Onyx]

Watching it now. Goat show so far..until... the main event turns out to be a tag match involving Kane, Cena, Barrett and Ziggler.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Kane is such an alpha

Everyone wanted him gone for like a decade and he still every night main events limiting everyone else around him not giving a single *bleep*.

He probably could get all the pussy but cares so little about it that he's wanted even more.... what a GOAT

[Onyx]

Dat WWE troll. Show ends with Cenawinslol.

[Onyx]

Lesnar's gonna come, hard. Looks like Rollins sent him his nude pics. Time for a Brock Lesbian gimmick.

[RealGunner]

We won't see someone like Lesnar ever again. The way he makes a terrible period of RAW interested by just showing up

This segment just now

Destroyed J&Js Cadillac with an axe then destroyed J&J and called out Rollins who obviously ran away.

They need to put the title back on Lesnar to bring back the credibility and make RAW watchable again. US title is the most credible one right now and the one which the fans are most interested in.

[RealGunner]

What a match between Cena and Cesaro

Return of SuperCena. Kicked out of everything

Kevin Owens attacked post mactch, Cena AAd him as well lmao


Great main event.

[M99]

So WWE title is not credible because Rollins is champion, a guy you personally dislike. Seems legit. JBL and Edge were worse chickenshit heels than him, did they bring credibility of the title down? Rollins has been great as a heel champion. It's good to see the title being defended at every PPV and all of them being great matches which is mostly due to the fact that Rollins is such a great in ring wrestler. Before Cena despite not being champion would main event PPVs with Big Show, John Laurinaitis, Kane over Punk who was champion to the rage of IWC. That is not happening with Rollins. Ratings are not going down because of him. His matches especially are well received and he is a popular villain. He was called the most hated man in America at one point ffs

Kinda agree on this rating. WWE title, NXT and US title right now are the top 3.

[Onyx]

RAW's still crap atm imo. Nothing big happening. Also long wrestling matches are boring to watch if they happen too often, which is the case with Cena every week.

Everyone knows the formula by now. 20 min match, kick out out of 3 finishers, 'this is awesome' chants, followed by the finish. Those sort of matches should be saved for PPV's, RAW should be used to build storylines and characters imo.

[Onyx]

Wat.

Triple H @TripleH
A great character emotionally connects with the crowd. Tonight on #ToughEnough @WWERollins shows how important personality truly is.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Stay mad brah.

[Onyx]

In b4 they have Cesaro holding promo classes around the World.

[M99]

Rollins does not connect with the crowd at all. That's why he keeps getting chants like You Sold Out and Justin Bieber, right?

Say what you will about him but he always gets strong reactions from the crowd. There is no apathy toward him at all.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Not fond of the 2-3 segments per week of the authority mic work generally, because this is Wrestling not a complex drama and there's not enough material to draw on to keep that interesting for long. But even I enjoyed the Rollins segment where he was giving everybody gifts and talking about power. It was funny, it was a new side to the story and it's how it should be.

Before that the whole concept of bad guys working together briefly then slowly falling out with each other was horrible. Been done so many times and it adds nothing.


Rollins is fine as champ. His reign hasn't been booked to be great and I do think the notion that all heels including the god damn WWE WHC have to be crap when isolated and can never hold their ground needs to die. Makes sense when it's Seth Vs Brock but in general the champ should be squashing mid carders when required.


No one man or 1 storyline is the reason WWE is a snooze fest. It's not Rollins it's the 2 f*cking hours of pure garbage filler that's in the show where the same people fight the same matches with no interesting storylines just crap "You beat me last week" or "You stole ma girl"




The rest of the roster should be involved in personal storylines, instead of a 3+ hour show where barring the main event and some goofy crap it's just a collection of meaningless crap.

There isn't enough star power to have such a long show with so many matches. Not enough interesting people, partly because they never bother focusing on the mid card and partly because they have quite a lot of renowned indie talents in 'developmental' who are in their 30's and/or more deserving of a spot in the main show than the scrubs who get regular matches on RAW.

[Onyx]

Nah it wasn't about connecting with the crowd. It's that HHH called Rollins a great character and chose him to talk about personality, when he's nothing more than a generic heel. If they wanted someone to talk about character, it should have been someone like Bray Wyatt or Ambrose. Guys who remotely happen to be larger than life.
