Wrestling WWE IX: A Solid B+

[KingEli]

Finlay is out, these operations are out of control!

I don't know about anyone else but I'm actually interested in Cena vs Lesnar. Unlike your usual main event the end result could go either way.

Same here. I'm also liking how Reigns vs Orton and Rusev vs Swagger are shaping up. Ziggler vs Miz as well, if that is where they are going.

Summerslam looks promising at the moment.

Are the two best programs on this show women programs?

This show?
I still like Cena/Lesnar, if Ambrose/Rollins was on it would win.
But the woman had a good ending of a segment there, good for them.

It can go either way. Lesnar could win or Cena could win. I like a main event where you don't know the outcome.

Brie, you quit

so how does this make narrative sense?

Stephanie pretty much threatened to fire her if she Bryan didn't drop the title. She didn't want to do it.

Like that Stephanie's return to the ring got the main event slot. They'll put on a good story for this match.

ah right

I want, nay I demand training montages

I want Steph in the ring with HHH, pedigreeing sparring partners and wielding a bedazzled shovel

I want DB training Brie out in the desert, putting the YES lock on scorpions and lizards

make it happen WWE

An homage to the training montage of Vince preparing for the Rumble. Good times.

But not a good match for the story.

And why is this a surprise to people? There have been situations where the story is better than the match.

YES! YES! YES!!!


That was a pretty good Raw, beginning to end. The opening into the Cesaro/Cena match was great, Jericho dusting off the trashbag ho line was great, as was his match with Rollins. Even the closing segment with Brie and Steph was awesome. The forgettable stuff didn't get in the way of anything, so thumbs up!

Even Cena's promo made me hyped for the match between him and Lesnar. Helped that the promo was one of Cena's few good ones.

Serious Cena > Preacher Cena > Jokey Cena

It's so nice to see serious Cena again.

Angry pissed off Cena is the best.

But not a good match for the story.

It not being a good wrestling match is pretty much a given.

That said, it still has the potential to be entertaining if the crowd cares enough and it's booked right. I don't expect them to be out there for 30 minutes or anything.
