After his wellness policy violation...
That Guy I can't mention or the WWE will win somehow actually beat himself in
that match by jumping into the ambulance like a dumb ass...then he attempted
to murder Strowman...meaning he still looked like a winner to me.
Oh...and the Payback match...That Guy I can't mention or the WWE will win somehow
actually had injured ribs and was coughing up blood...so he was still protected.

Vince is hung up on the idea of having his superman character that cannot be beaten cleanly. It was that very idea that made him rich and successful. It worked with Hulk Hogan. And the reason it worked with Hulk Hogan was because it hadn't been seen by people who normally weren't pro wrestling fans. People who knew Bruno Sammartino knew that this had been done before. But Vince wanted to bring in new fans and one of the ways he did this was the indestructible Hulk Hogan.
After the Hogan era, WWE declined and had several guys at the top during that time. There was Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash... and none of them really stopped the decline of the company. Then Stone Cold came around and he wasn't unbeatable either, but he usually was beaten with a lot of outside interference. But it didn't matter because the Attitude Era was so popular. But after it, the WWE declined again. It gained a resurgence when Vince put John Cena at the top. Again, he had his basically unbeatable Superman like Hogan. I mean, Cena DID lose more than Hogan then, but it he had a very similar feel to him.
It makes sense that Vince would continue to go with what he thinks made him successful in those periods. He seems to think it will work with Reigns. It won't. Too many people are sick of the idea. It's not Roman's fault, but I don't see him telling Vince, "Hey let me lose sometimes, man." He has every reason to go along with it of course.
Stop peeing on my moment

Translation: Vince is trying to book the WWE like its still the 80's...and it isn't working...
and because of the PG rating he can't fall back on "sex & violence" like he did in the 90's.
The guy is out of touch and he has no idea how to run the company anymore...but he
is surrounded by "Yes Men" who will never challenge him.
Much like George Lucas when he made the Star Wars prequels or when Ridley Scott
tries to make an "Alien" film now days.
The only way the WWE will truly change for the better is if Vince is removed from power
and someone else is given the final say on creative & booking.
Hey...No Golden Showers in the Rate Threads!
Keep in mind that I am not saying it's a good idea for Vince to go with what made him successful in the first place. I don't think it's a good idea and I think that a lot of people have probably told him it is not a good idea. I just mean, I know WHY he's doing it. I don't agree that it's a good idea.
I just want to point out that I predicted it would be a slightly better than norm Raw and I think for me, it is down to Kane.
I didn't expect his return, didn't even hear a single rumor of it. For once, they kept a secret. Well done.
BUT if this turns into "Corporate Kane" again I am going to vomit.

One: AWSOME! Kane! Wohoo!
Two: I would totally had flipped out If Reigns had kicked ouf of that.
Three: Great Job Kane and Strowman!

Would of been better if he just randomly appeared through the ring without his music, kind of spoils it but other then that it was awesome.
