Big E on the racist dude making fun of his neck:

“I guess, at my big age of 39 years old, people will say what they want about you. Their opinion of you is not — has nothing to do with me. It’s not my business. Look, say what you want, he was given a mic, he was given an opportunity. People will feel how they want to. It’s just, you know, there’s a lot of discourse, often times as a public figure people will say things about you. Whether they’re jokes, whether they’re not. And that is their right. I think the one thing is — and I get like, I’m on here, it was said on the show, I’m supposed to talk. You know, especially when things are mentioned about me, I should have an opinion on them. It’s just — it is tiring to have to weigh in on everyone’s opinion or whatever they say.

“Look, I’m not hurt. I’m good. I want the discourse to be had without me, honestly. I really have no desire to weigh in on this. I didn’t sign up for this. I wasn’t aware of this. He did what he wanted to. People signed off on it. Has nothing to do with me, truly.”

I was not a fan of the comment and that goober being on commentary, not a fan of that guy in general. He wasn’t even funny and had zero personality, how did he even get popular? I didn’t mind Bert Kreisher being there though he seems like a decent guy.

Good show otherwise, Lyra vs Bayley, and the six man tag matches were sick. That spot from Wilde was unreal just like that spear from Bron on Carlito.

I was saying this during the segment last night

Didn't look blaze as I wasn't on here last night. Two great minds with the same idea . Cool.

 

[Jacob Fox]

All right, catching this late too. Oh Good, Lyra Valkyria, so I get one of my fantasy wrestlers in there..

 

[Jacob Fox]

Wow what a great match and the finish worked for me. I love seeing the good womens matches. This one was awesome

 

[Jacob Fox]

Love the "trios" match lol. I have no problem with Chad Gable's new tights... being that they are very tight. I enjoy that.

Also, loading the mask with a piece of metal is pure brilliance. I love it. Great and fun match. This has been a great Raw so far

 

[Jacob Fox]

This tony hinchcliffe guy is annoying as fuck. I hope they never have him back again sheesh

He is just like that one guy in high school who makes everything a joke and you really want to punch

 

[Jacob Fox]

Blue Penta is nice though

 

[Jacob Fox]

Haha I love the end of the Penta Dominick match. It was nice to see Breaker take out everyone but Balor (even though Breaker is my fantasy guy) but I enjoyed it anyway.

 

[Jacob Fox]

Great segment with Rollins and Heyman. I love hearing Heyman's voice... sounding like the ECW Heyman most people like.

CM Punk coming to help and Heyman dodging Rollins... which he did. Even if Rollins deliberately executed it, Heyman moved away in time.

The "You owe me a favor" thing was dumb though. You don't owe a favor to someone who was planning on attacking you but didn't. What kind of warped thinking...

All right, catching this late too. Oh Good, Lyra Valkyria, so I get one of my fantasy wrestlers in there..

Lyra is the workhorse in WWE. She's very capable in ring.

 

[Jacob Fox]

Lyra is the workhorse in WWE. She's very capable in ring.

She has proven to be my best choice so far

 

[Tommy Shelby]

She has proven to be my best choice so far

Yeah, She's showing how good she really is. Given the chance now to do it and couldn't be more proud of her.
