I said the exact same thing because I glanced over & thought that he was working an injury to his back or something that I missed... which is why he didn't jump because Kevin STEEN would not be afraid of heights so I knew that was too fucking stupid for them to be doing

BUT NO!! ...THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE FUCKING DOING! ...Apparently we're supposed to forget his entire career outside & inside of WWE

Just rewatched it and I think Kevin didn't jump of the ladder not because he was scared of heights but because he didn't want to take the risk of getting injured before the MITB ppv. He wanted to because he really loves inflicting pain, but he didn't want to take the risk because he is clever. I think that's pretty smart, but I maybe wrong.

I hope you're right... and hope they explain that

Don't wanna insult the fans intelligence. Show not tell...but since WWE failed to show effectively they should probably explain it to clear things up. Maybe KO will do a promo.

Here's the quick didn't watch the show snow review. Snow Show Review. Ha.

-The buildup for Money in the Bank is always bad on Raw. The qualifying matches are great! The matches have meaning, which makes the crowds invested and gives the performers a sense of urgency. Usually after that it devolves into Guy A vs Guy B in the match with no stakes which doesn't build to anything. I think they should have main evented a qualifying match each week before MITB but that works a lot better if you don't have three hours to fill. See also, any idea you have for Raw.

-Formula opening lol. Elias is a lot of fun and I like this feud with Rollins on paper, where Elias wants the IC title so he's doing these fairly barbaric things to injure Rollins, so he can beat a wounded duck at the PPV to get that anchor off of Rollins and start a run of his own. Still, there had to be a less stale way to pull this off.

-I'm probably alone on this... *reads up* okay ALMOST alone, but I LOVE seeing that Hawkins segment. Great way to get the guy over and someday if they actually keep this up we'll pop when he gets that surprise win on his 434th match or something... but as for the Corbin thing, lets count all the reasons this sucks.

Spoiler

1: Hearing "Constable Corbin" 20 times a show from Michael Cole is 40 times too many
2: 3 authority figures on a show is 10 too many. Nothing is more played out
3: Obvious talking point of the heel authority figure is right. Again. Bayley can't just run in a match lol
4: Another point of getting heat and doing fuck-all with it. Corbin ran in to wreck Hawkins and that did what for him? Especially after he made it right later?
5: It gives Baron Corbin a reason to be on TV

Is that enough?

Anyway I'm pulling for ya Hawk. Hopefully you can spring into one fluke W soon, get another fluke W before finally scoring a real W over Elias for the IC Championship in a feel good moment.

-Forget about the Authors of Pain not being in the tag title match. They were protected here, hell even push since they're getting 2018 babyface heat by being held down. Think of the poor damn Revival in the middle of this mayhem of garbage and being completely forgotten as yet another team in the division. THE REVIVAL.

-Just wanna point out Kevin Steen vs Prince Devitt was the main event. Bet you all forgot how much of an indy dream match that is without the overexposure. Building momentum for Money in the Bank means nothing. My biggest issue with Raw is matches that don't mean anything, and I go back and forth with stuff like the six-woman tag which was supposed to make Bayley look heroic and Alexa look smart for not wasting time on this bullshit cowardly and Corbin look like a dick for being right, but when there's nothing on the line why is Sasha so mad at the decision being overturned when Bayley still came out to help? All this looks like it comes across terribly.

I don't even know what else to add here. At least they tried to get Hawkins over?

This shall be just a quick reply, more so for the fact I haven't posted in a while and even actually received a personal message from a good friend of mine via facebook being all worried.

So, first and foremost and for those who even care, I'm quite fine - thank you - and this sort of hiatus from my part has to do with the shows (well, mostly RAW) simply sucking alongside the fact I've been even more busy with a small gig I got in a greek website, doing writeups for the upcoming World Cup. Previews alone, nailed over twenty thousand words, not to mention the little bits here and there so as you can understand, my plate is quite full at the moment.

As far as RAW is concerned, I keep watching on a regular weekly basis as always but, honestly, what is there to even talk about these days? Not only do these shows go from bad to worse as the weeks go by but it's actually come to the point where my fucking intelligence is being insulted and, I'm sorry, that is something I refuse to withstand, let alone tolerate.

How do we go from Nia Jax preaching about bullying being something wrong and awful (and for which we all obviously agree) to...bullying a jobber on RAW last week, just a couple of months after the stupid storyline with Alexa Bliss and the horrendous promo she cut at Mania after winning the title?

How is it that the storyline between Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey is based on whether Ronda can apply the armbar on Nia when...we've already seen it just a few months ago with Asuka. Did Nia Jax not tap out to Asuka via the armbar? Are we supposed to forget?

- Should I even get started with the Roman Reigns thing?

- How is it that you have an open Battle Royal to determine the number one contender for MITB, yet Authors of Pain aren't featured? What's that? They got nothing for them at the moment? Then WHY THE FUCK CALL THEM UP TO THE MAIN ROSTER IN THE FIRST PLACE? Same shit with the Revival, same shit with Anderson & Gallows when they first showed up, same shit practically with Bailey and the list goes on...

- Why is Bailey interfering this week during the six woman tag? Better yet, how is it that the referee not only does not call for the DQ due to interference but actually...COUNTS THE THREE COUNT? And how do we go from celebrating backstage over the win to giving Bailey the shit when the decision was overuled?

- Why is Baron Corbin now a...constable? Ok, in all fairness this could turn out to be somewhat entertaining (I love me a dick Baron Corbin) but where's the sense in a rookie overlooking the general manager?

- Why or what are Sami and Lashley feuding exactly over? And for the sake of argument, after it's all said and done, would any of the two come out of this looking stronger or better?

- That thing..what's it called....the MAIN TITLE of RAW...right, the Universal Title...Is that even still a thing?

So, there you have it...Hope all is well and, as far as I'm concerned, the World Cup starts in exactly one week so at least there's one thing I'm all pumped about...
