Fastlane Tonight - in Cleveland!

[TheLand1287]

Thought the show had one good match (Wyatt's are too good), one great feud start (wyatt's going after Jericho based on walls of Jericho?), one amazing promo (Deannnnnn). Everything else was meh. battleground will suck with that fatal fourway.

The returns were cool, but. Just thought it was another week.

You didnt think that Rollins vs. RVD was a good match last night? Raw usually only produces a few quality matches anyway. The returns and setting up summer storylines is why I enjoyed it. Also, Damien Sandow as Vincent K McMahondow was pretty fucking funny. I hate what they're doing to him, but he has that McMahon impersination perfected.

The Battleground main event isn't the best, but we all know it's pretty much just bridging the gap between now and Cena vs. Lesnar for the titles at Summerslam. The rest of the Battleground card could shape up nicely with Wyatt-Jericho, Ambrose-Rollins, Swagger-Rusev, AJ-Paige, and the battle royal for the IC Title (poor BNB).

I'm getting sick of the same main events week in week out.

The main events on Raw can be a little redundant, but it served it's purpose in highlighting the Fatal Four Way between Cena-Reigns-Orton-Kane at Battleground while planting the seeds of the big money match of HHH vs. Reigns for Summerslam.

I think RVD is a hack, and hearing the VKM music was ungodly predictable.

Ambrose stopping Rollins was super predictable, but ungodly awesome. Please, please, please give them 25 minutes at battle ground.

Heel Miz is the best Miz. Honestly, how many true heels right now are better than Miz?

 

[TheLand1287]

I may be in the minority, but I enjoy the Miz as well... especially as a heel. He kills that role, and I'm glad he's back. Although, please no MizTV segments.

Even more happy that Y2J is back. He'll do what Cena refused to do... which is put over Wyatt. Hopefully WWE is more conservative in who they have Jericho put over this time though. Losing to Fandango and Ryback in his last run was such a waste.

My gripe with Miz has always been flashy persona, boring moveset.

I thought the tag match at MITB was great and the Divas match was pretty good up until they slowed the pace with those rest holds... After that it was shit.

Haven't been in here in a while. The Bryan injury put a big damper on the summer. However, I am very pleased with the WWE pushing all 3 members of the Shield as possible main eventers. Seth Rollins having the briefcase is a fantastic move, and Dean Ambrose looks like a new age Stone Cold to me. He acts like a crazy heel, but goes against the authority and gets cheered like crazy.

 

[Dr. Gymbo]

^Agreed. I love Dean Ambrose. He and Bray Wyatt are the biggest reasons why I watch as of late.

The show was slow for me, started out like most other shows of late. So, I switched to let my wife watch a couple shows she had taped and then I miss like 3 returns. WTF?

 

[DJTJ]

Ambrose is Pillman, not SCSA.

Tag match was fantastic. As was the MITB briefcase match. The rest was mainly filler, and the WWE WHC ladder match was sort of a let down as well. Not to mention my WWE Network stream was hit/miss.

Yeah, you and MoFlo have been MIA for awhile now. Honestly the thread overall has been dead, and there are reasons for it. Hopefully last night's Raw brings the interest level back up.

I was referring to the Diva match being shit. The contract match was great. But you had to expect that with the level of athleticism in the match. The WWEWHC was meh. But they had brutes. Less excitement. Cool spots though and the wrong man won but that match wasn't ending any other way except a Rollins cash in.

Since I moved I dropped cable so I don't watch weekly anymore just PPVs and weekly programming on the network like TWinWrestling, Divas, countdown etc... so I'm missing 5 hours of storyline and matches weekly or I'd be posting more.
