If I were McIntyre I would have taken that cane and smashed Corbin in the penis with it.

 

[Sabretooth]

I put my beer in the fridge a half hour ago. I really hope it’s cold now.

Why did Shawn Michaels come in at the end just to grab a chair and stand in the ring

 

[Butters]

I feel like this was one of the most uneventful go-home shows ever Miz/Bad Bunny stuff was the best tbh lmao

 

[Chris]

Might be bc they just kinda gave up with the national championship game last night having a lot of buzz around it, idk but it feels even more basic build than it has so far, they just played everything safe with generic wrestling build 101

It's why I didn't bother with it. The video packages will do a better job at building the matches, probably.

I feel like Go Home shows have been underwhelming for a while. I might check out RAW after Mania, but even that has lost some magic. Ever since that phrase was coined it has seemed to decline in quality, for some reason.

I kind of forgot that this was the Raw go home show before Mania this weekend lol.

Said Bad Bunny/Miz was the best booked angle heading into Mania....which should be considered an indictment on creative with their top programs.
