As you probably know by now, The Authority was brought back on raw. What're your thoughts on this?

Heel authority figures are so lame at this point, not to mention that bringing them back so soon negates everything Ziggler and the others fought for at SS.

Stupid.

I hate the fact they've continued to talk up that SS match as a company changing event, just to retcon it 5 weeks later. We had a year and half of the Authority, and whilst I sorta like their act, I don't see the point in bringing it back.

I can only assume that WWE once again booked themselves into a corner at SS. They wanted stakes in their main event, but changed their mind about the Authority winning it, especially in such an important show for the Network.

Glad you both share my thoughts on this. I hate when wwe fucking undoes a storyline after building it up. They should have waited until at least after royal rumble if ever.

Do I have to really retread what Fuji and LB already said. I guess the bigger question is does anyone like them coming back at all. I would have been happier if they would have doe thus at say Elimination Chamber

I hate that they brought the Authority back, it just seems so pointless and as others said, basically makes the SS match mean nothing.

On the other hand, I sort of like how they did it because of how strong it made Seth Rollins look. It made him look so powerful and that he can manipulate others for his gain. Wonderful heel work.

I'm with this line of thinking.


I wish we could do away with the Heel authority figures.

Rollins and Rusev were doing fine being the big time heels right now. But how long could that go?

I am certainly not looking forward to some more Triple H 20 minute promos to start Raw.

WTF. They need slapped in the head what kind of ppv name is Fast Lane. I guess they will be wrestling in Nascar vehicles while they are moving or they will be in fast and the Furious cars while moving. What a bunch of shit.

I think they're trying to tie it in to the Daytona 500 since it would take place on the same weekend.

I would assume it's a play on words cause they're like on a fast lane to Wrestlemania.

Yeah they turn the ring into a giant bass and the mouth closes on them for a about 20 seconds and opens up again.
