Thank Paul Heyman for that. Pull apart brawls makes him hard.

There are times like last night when you wonder if this WWE creative team is assembled by a bunch of 10 year-old kids. Quite frankly, this was beyond silly and more so a case of stupid nonsense and it’s a shame because whatever positives were rather overshadowed by the negatives. Notes:
- Chad Gable back on TV was definitely one of the best highlights of the show. It’s not like we aren’t all aware of his in ring skills but, my God, what a showing he had. In all honesty, I’m kind of skeptical of this tag teaming with Bobby Roode but if this means we get more of Gable, sign me up…
- Speaking of tag teams, I do appreciate the fact that WWE seemingly gave this division a bit more attention. I mean, aside from Gable and Roode teaming up, they also did the title switch with Ziggler and Macntyre and as bizarre and random as it was, putting Drake Maverick as AOP’s new manager was at least a step in the right direction because it appears to be an effort in trying to make AOP relevant again.
- The HBK/Taker segment was also fantastic and maybe, just maybe, they planted the seeds for an eventual match at Mania which, to be honest, is fine by me. I mean, who would not want to see HBK back in action, not to mention the doors this could probably open down the road?
Other than that, these two legends pretty much gave a free lesson for all the current young talent on this roster as to how a proper promo is supposed to be cut. Nothing forced, nothing feeling out of the norm, nothing feeling “fake”.
- Alexa Bliss apparently wants to…cough…walk…cough…with Elias. Perhaps we should change her name to Alexa Bitch…
- The Bellas back in action after three years and, boy, was this a botch feast or what? Especially Brie was a disaster….
- So, instead of keeping this a mystery and have us fans continue to speculate, they have KO show up just seven days later after he announced he was “quitting”. Such a waste of what could have been a great storyline…and all this to attack Bobby Lashley? Granted, I can understand that KO can blame Lashley for Sami Zayn being currently on the shelf but…what the fuck does this have to do with KO “quitting” last week?
- Speaking of Lashley, it almost feels like someone in WWE really has it in for the poor guy, continuing to put him in the most stupid, ridiculous segments.
- I’m always down for a good old pull apart brawl but when WWE continues to do these as frequently as they have lately, it’s an act that goes old too quick and doesn’t feel as special anymore.
- How funny was it that during the final segment, when all the heels stormed out to attack the Shield, the first person we see is KO? Like, why would KO give a shit and why would he be siding with Strowman?
Furthermore, how funny was it having Drew Gulack of all people talking trash to Roman Reigns? “You don’t run things around here anymore Roman”. So, is Gulack the newest member of the RAW roster?
- Lita vs. Mickie James announced for Evolution....(scratching my head).....it amazes me how ass backwards WWE can be in these situations...
- Is it me or are they really wasting a lot of the female talent on both RAW and Smackdown? You mean to tell me they have nothing for Ember Moon on RAW and nothing on SD for Asuka? Like....seriously?

I've been calling her that for months...
:thumbsup:
So...the standard "Alexa Bliss Handjob" then?
Oh Dear...perhaps Brie should have stayed retired?
Wait...what?
You bring Lita back to fight...Mickie James?
Why?
Why aren't we getting Mickie vs. say...Ember Moon
or Lita vs. Sasha?
Its the same as the fucking men's division!
Bring back a has-been to fight a still active veteran
instead of using the veterans to put over the new talent.
Oh wait...that's right...Alexa Bitch will no doubt go over
Trish Stratus...because even without the title she will
still be pushed to the fucking moon.
Basically the WWE "panicked" & elevated too many women from
NXT all within 6 months & now the entire division is a giant pile of
(mostly) talented women with no character development and nothing
to do while Alexa, Ronda & Charlotte sit at the top of the pile because
they are blonde, American &/or famous.
The reason Asuka isn't being is used is because she's Japanese
& the main roster has not interest in pushing Japanese wrestlers
even if they were amazing in NXT.
Clearly Triple H doesn't care where you're from...where Vince clearly
does.
Prove me wrong WWE fans...Prove.Me.Wrong.
Chad Gable is extremely talented...its just a shame
he's nothing more than a midget to some of those
behind the scenes.
Maybe if he was 6 foot tall?
10 year old kids high on Cocoa Krispies, playing with duplo
& seeing how many whiteboard markers they can stick up
their own noses.
The only logical explanation for them returning KO so soon is to get heat. They know that would piss alot people off. People aren't going to boo KO tho

The job shouldn't be to get heat over stupid booking. It should be to get heat on the talent.. Attacking a bland Bobby Lashley won't get anyone heat.
