So I missed RAW tonight because of E3. What happened?

[choptop]

It's honestly pathetic. He isn't a great wrestler, but he is a great promo. Just being that midcard heel that helps push the up and coming Babyface would be good enough.

Hell the tag team division is a joke on SD. Put him in a tag team.

Team him up with Shelton Benjamin, his hired tag team specialist. Team him up with Luke Harper as his hobo assistant.

And it's not even the whole doghouse thing. There are a bunch of loyal no drama having workers in the WWE who are in the same position.

I think EC3 is pretty good he's no Hitman but he's still pretty good.

WWE sure is doing everything possible to squander Becky's popularity/momentum. Like their incompetence with her booking post-RR is staggering, they clearly DO NOT get why she got super-over to begin with, or just don't care.

They did the same freaking thing when Sasha was super-over back in 20105/2016 as well.

It's a credit to her talent and charisma that she's still over at all given all of this crap booking for like half a year now.

I just really miss Becky being aggressive. They've completely taken that away. Becky should have went after Lacey and beat the crap out of her after she cost her her title. Instead she just shrugs and plays by the rules which is not what got her popular at all.

I don't think they care about keeping her momentum. They're more focused on Lacey right now. It's so stale. I'm actually envious over what Seth's getting lol.

Also the boyfriend stuff is kinda worrying. I didn't think the segment last week was bad, but this week was totally pointless and if this is weekly now, yuck.

Also apparently The IIconics can only win on TV if it's against a jobber team. Really making those tag titles look good there WWE (sarcasm). And when the heck are Asuka & Kairi going to get their title shot? Because they're doing nothing at all right now.

Hey WWE, THIS is how you book a badass female babyface. Take notes.

On Twitter Lance Storm suggested WWE should unify their titles and make the champions the wild cards. That would actually be a good idea.

Yeah, I suggested that awhile back. Having floating belts is a simple sollution.

I suppose the downside is that top talent is more likely to monopolize the belts since they are the ones you want floating.

I watch current Impact here and there and they don't differentiate themselves enough to be a true alternative. The angle they are doing with Su Yung feels like a cheap attempt to replicate the success of Broken Matt. They still depend on talent that largely made their name in WWE. If not WWE then Lucha Underground who they are partnered with. Moose is the best homegrown guy they got but they screw the pooch with him when he didn't beat Aries for the belt.

i feel impact has currently differentiated themselves enough to be a true alternative to WWE. for me the big differences are TV-14, not over the top with it usually but they use blood effectively from time to time. allowing men to mix it up with the women. and most importantly the titles being important enough that with just a little build any of the titles can and will main event the show from week to week.

cage, elgin, pentagon, killer kross, edwards, sami & OVE, rascalz, LAX, willie mack, moose and the north are amongst the most heavily featured talent on the show, that leaves johnny holmes, rich swann(kind of) and the ECW guys(c'mon they're ECW guys) as talent that made their name in WWE?? and none of the women are xcept katarina are from WWE.

I'd say Impact consistantly is better than RAW. But this year at least, I'd still watch Smackdown over Impact.

I think people tend to just think of RAW when they say WWE. But WWE includes Smackdown, 205 Live, NXT, and NXT UK. Thats the cool thing about WWE, it's essentially it's own alternative.

for me impact & SD are about even in match quality but i give impact the edge because what happens on impact actually matters, whereas SD most of the time it doesn't matter what happens.

Rob Van Dam discussed his 1st run of TNA/Impact and his honest feelings about why he left. Rob brings up how things seemed to go talent wise as the company strung him along awhile on signing a new deal. That they had agreed on all contract points and was waiting on the date to start again. But the date would never come or contract to sign.





Rob has had a rough couple years in 2015/2016 , his wife and him divorced ...his dog died and then his dad.

Scott D'Amore is the one who basically brought back Rob as he started booking him for more dates and finally got him signed back.

i was wondering if you were watching. figured you'd enjoy seeing RVD, sabu, and sandman back on tv. personally not a big fan of them jobbing out the north to those guys so much.

i was happy to see havok back. i wonder if she'll join OVE and fight tessa?? if so sami's building a freaking army over there.

Sonya got a match, and won. It's ä miracle. She's got potential, WWE just needs to give her more chances to show it imo.

But poor Asuka & Kairi, still getting nothing to do.

Asuka went to E3 and joined Xavier Woods on Capcom's Monster Hunter stream.

It doesn't make any sense that R-Truth would show up to RAW for no reason just because he's the 24/7 Champion. Why would he show up to a place he knows that the entire roster is at? (Then again, it's R-Truth....)

[Punisher007]

Sad how far she's fallen booking-wise. And Kari was called up at the worst possible time it would seem.
