I just watched a crappy youtube quality... holy crap that was great. Zayn's bumping ability is Ziggler quality. He's even more detailed though. He sold like a champ.

NXT: ArRival was fantastic.

You NEED to see Zayn/Cesaro. Match of the year.

so i guess you bought the network?

I did.

It's funny, the live streaming is fantastic and has worked great... the on-demand video not so much. It seems to be working better and better everyday.

i didn't realize that's El Genrico from ROH. The ROH guys are really doing well in WWE as of late.

That's maybe a fourth of the highlights... it was a 30 minute match... people need to catch the whole thing if possible.

I too didn't realize that was Genrico... Not sure why he worked under a mask for so long as a goof character... he seems to have "it".

wow. That's El Generico? He's freaking great at bumping and his facial expressions are a main reason for that.

Billy Robinson has died at age 74. he was a big star in the AWA and in Canada in the 1970's and early 1980's. He is responsible for training a number of wrestlers and MMA fighters including Josh Barnett.

Also, CM Punk may be on Raw tonight, or he may not...

GREAT Raw. That was sooo good. Second hour was a bit weak but everything else made it great. The hot crowd, the card, the expectations of CM Punk returning... damn. So good...

to bad CM Punk isn't back though... freak HE NEEDS TO BE BACK

Great show... Didn't even need Punk. Well played WWE.

they did everything they could to force the crowd to move on, we'll see what happens next week. It really does seem that they are setting up the main event as a 3-way with Bryan. Maybe DB kidnaps steph, takes her to vegas, forces her to marry him, and then offers to give her back if HHH puts him into the main event?

I agree. They addressed the Punk situation 100% accurately. It really was a way of getting it out of the way and letting Punk know that the show goes on with or without him.

That said, I really want him back.

Just watched the shield vs the wyatts, incredible. Simply incredible.

NXT week 2 wasn't nearly as good as NXT:ArRival but it was still quality.

The Rose entrance was so much fun... cool gimmick.

Graves seems a bit slow in the ring and didn't work that well with Generico's style.

Those matches have been awesome.

RAW is coming to Albany the day after my daughter's seventh birthday and she's decided she wants to to to the show.

Adam Rose's entrance is so awesome lol

As for the Wyatt/Shield match... it really was good. It's amazing how consistent the quality of their matches have been. I especially loved how Rollins walked away from Ambrose yet Ambrose and Reigns still wrecked havoc. Ambrose will have one of the best heel careers I feel like. Reigns and Rollins will both work on either side of the spectrum. I'm very happy to see Rollins finally get some acknowledgement with a lot of the spots he's had recently. It's like a sober Jeff Hardy.

i do worry that Rollins has about 2 weeks left in his career with the risks he's taking, but then again he's young. Just don't break up the shield, instead elevate them to the 4 horsemen status, Reigns as world champ, Rollins/Ambrose as tag/US/Intercontinental champs. heck, bring in zany as a 4th if need be.

No reason you can't do that with new recruits instead of established vets. That's what could make the Wyatts survive long-term as well. Run it like a cult and gather followers and allow for defectors.

Two great "faction" ideas that can run long-term.

That's what they need. I feel like they haven't done that in awhile. Nexus was something like it but I just felt they handled that whole thing terribly.

Barret should have taken the title from Cena during that program, he ended up buried instead. BTW, reports are that they nixed Barret coming out and saying that he had bad news on Monday, that Punk wasn't there.

That would have been comical mega heat, though. Having the podium rise up while "Cult of Personality" was playing. Would have been classic. "I'm afraid I've got some bad news".
