Apollo Crews has been really good in segments I've seen him in lately. Seems a lot more comfortable, less gormless and his work has been pretty nifty and worked as stories within themselves. He's busting his ass.

Supposedly this wrestler will appear tonight

Heath Slater

Daaaaaaaaaamn. They brought Slater back?

I hope he's on a new deal. Stupid if he's just here for a quick paycheck with the Virus blowing up there.

Spare me the "he's got kids" line.

His 90 day hasn't expired so he's technically still under contract.

Seems Slater bulked up a bit since the last time he was around.

Wonder if he's going for that sweet WWE title push considering the same happened for Drew and Jinder when they did the same from the trio.

Mr. Nerfect

Something that is true that people will freak out about because it's said out-loud for them to deal with: Heath Slater is a better worker than Kenny Omega. Not as spectacular, not as popular with the internet bubble that wants to blow themselves and fools for indy booking > WWE booking bullshit, but better.

Got more Twitter followers too.

Emperor Smeat

Shouldn't be that much of a problem since Sane is talented enough to handle Sasha in the ring.

Sasha's problem before was her wanting to do all these flashy moves and spots to opponents that were not talented or even capable of doing that stuff. Plus her being a lot more sloppy earlier in her career.

Emperor Smeat
07-06-2020, 08:49 PM
Banks vs. Sane was very good despite the lame DQ finish.

What's with WWE and DQ finishes to long matches these days. Feels like they've been doing it a lot more often in recent times than before.

Emperor Smeat
07-06-2020, 08:58 PM
Wonder how many bags of cash WWE threw at Kevin Owens way to get him to quickly break his stance of not wanting to be at the Performance Center during the coronavirus.

Probably a minimum of at least 3 bags.

Emperor Smeat
07-06-2020, 09:24 PM
Rey & Owens vs. Rollins & Murphy was pretty good.

Rollins probably wishing he had AOP and Theory around since his shtick doesn't really work without the numbers on his side to back it up.

Guess the rumors of the "eye for eye" match was true. Wonder if "blood & guts" will be included since its not like WWE publicly boasted about being above that type of content ... and then did it anyways shortly afterwards.

New U.S. title looks sort of ugly or bland compared to the old one.

The eagle part of the belt looks great but the rest not soo much.

Emperor Smeat
07-06-2020, 09:38 PM
None of WWE's new designs for belts look that good compared to their previous designs.

Should have just cut a fat royalties check to keep using the old belts instead of the direction they went for all their new belts.

The Champion part is way too big.

If they had the eagle in the middle and the "US Champion" below it in a smaller font, it would look better. Plus it really needs a better use of red/white/blue coloring than what they did.

Emperor Smeat

Think WWE doesn't actually own the rights to that design. Likely changed it for the same reason as their other belts in recent times because they didn't feel like paying royalties anymore.

Emperor Smeat
07-06-2020, 10:06 PM
These new ideas WWE has been coming up with for commercial breaks have been mostly momentum killers in terms of match interest.

Like this match suddenly stooped so Orton can do a big threatening speech to Garza while nothing else happens. Plus the amount of times Andrade and Garza has been trying to screw each other is starting to get stale.

Emperor Smeat

Not sure if Peyton accidentally bleached half of her pants or her pants is actually two pants that were ripped in half and then randomly stitched back together.

Also who did Ruby piss off backstage to become the personal jobber to the IIconics?

:lol: at Bayley rolling herself up for the pin loss.

Bayley vs. Asuka was very good despite the overbooked shenanigans at the end.

RAW itself was pretty enjoyable overall. Started off and ended strong while the rest was very hit-or-miss.

New belt somehow looks even worse based on a cleaner picture of it.

Mr. Nerfect
07-07-2020, 12:06 AM
I'm not the fan of the font they use, but it's far from the worst belt I've ever seen.

Emperor Smeat
07-07-2020, 12:46 AM
Didn't take the internet long to point out the new belt has a hidden dong design because of the placement of the bird.

At least its not as blatant as the original logo for WWE's Great Ball of Fire event.

If AEW debuted that belt, it would be considered gorgeous. Or at least unfinished.

Presumably meant to be a sit out spine buster, but she can't even hit it right. More like an arse buster.
