You have to at least give them time to end the current round of feuds and programs and get everyone going in a different direction. And time to build up some of the other performers they may want to use differently now, especially ones who have been buried or just lost in the shuffle.

the skits have been off tv for a month

the miz is pitching for cleveland in the celebrity softball game

I've heard that a COMPLETE reset starts after Extreme Rules, so we'll see what next week brings

I would certainly hope so

a complete reset would require all the belts to go to vacant

Figured I'd give Raw a shot after a few weeks of not watching. Terrible episode.

Alright douche neck, I'm talking about a different creative direction.

I emphasized 'complete' as saying it's Heyman's show for real then.

Best case is the reset or new direction happens right after SummerSlam since that's plenty of time to tie up all the loose ends and build up new stuff on the side.

Worst case is WWE holds off till SmackDown's move to FOX in October to go in a new direction for real that isn't just tossing stuff on the wall to see what sticks.

I heard next Monday.

How do you breathe life into a show without new talent

the fuck was the point of having a wrestler secretly under the mask if they were just going to lose anyway?

Might as well have just given Gary a payday

Was RAW any good? I caught up on Stranger Things instead

It was no good whatsoever.

Bad episode for sure.

The original "Gary" was revealed to be played by Kosha Irby, who was a former regional director of live events for WWE and former president of the Memphis Express from the now defunct AAF league.

Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon spent the majority of Monday Night RAW searching for a tag team partner to join Roman Reigns in the main event of the show. Shane and Drew approached a garbage man, a man working in concessions and an individual named "Gary Garbutt" who's storyline job was a janitor at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The 'Jackson Sun' published a story about the true identity of "Gary Garbutt" and Gary is actually Kosha Irby, who is the former President of the AAF's Memphis Express.

Kosha Irby worked for WWE for several years as regional director of live events.
