After Raw I'm gonna take off for a while and give wrestling a break. I've been watching for 23 years, and it "breaks my heart" not to follow the product, but I think I'm just worn out and not interested anymore.
The ladder match was good... but seeing multi-man ladder matches every year has kinda gotten dull. I feel like we're not really getting anything new any more. And when Miz climbed the ladder two minutes into the match, was on the third rung and didn't hop down when the ladder was tipped over... come on please, a bit of realism would be nice. Ryder winning was an amazing surprise, but I doubt it'll go anywhere. Was probably done for the "miracle ending" feel-good moment. Ryder will likely lose it tonight.
Styles vs. Jericho was good. I don't mind Jericho winning, as AJ will still get a rub from this.
New Day vs. League of Nations was alright for what it was. New Day are so over it's insane. Didn't like the post match stuff though. I'm sure if I was in the stadium I'd mark the fuck out hearing the glass shatter or the car crash, but when you're seeing it on TV for the millionth time it's so boring and just doesn't excite me anymore. Four guys in their prime couldn't handle a limping Mick Foley, an HBK who hasn't wrestled in six years or a fat, out of shape Austin who looked as though he could barely do the Stunner.
A decent drawn-out program puts guys over. Foley's feud with Orton helped Orton in 2004 because it showcased what Orton could bring to the table. Even if Orton has lost the feud, he'd have benefited from the program. But out-of-shape, old legends coming back and just squashing young guys in their primes doesn't really put anyone over, and it's been done so many times.
Lesnar vs. Ambrose was going well, but kinda ended way too soon and seemed pretty tame and uneventful. A HUGE let down. Was hoping Ambrose would really push Lesnar to the limit, but off the top of my head right now I can barely remember any spots.
Women's title match...

Brilliant match! Fast-paced, action-packed with some fun spots and a real competitive vibe. Have never given a fuck about the "divas", but this was the best match of the night. Well done women!
Hell in a Cell was alright but would have been better ten years ago. I really want Undertaker to fuck off but nope, I fear we have a few more years of fat 'Taker matches.
Battle Royal... meh.
Main event... absolute bullshit. Boring as fuck. Triple H is only as good as the guy he's working with, and Reigns is, well... Reigns.
I'm bored of Wrestlemania squash matches for the sake of trying to break records. I'm tired of legends always coming back and squashing modern talent. The Rock's shit goes down the same every time... his words towards Bray Wyatt and the inevitable beating the Wyatts would get (and the League of Nations stuff) reads as "you're good. You've got the talent, the charisma... but you'll never be better than the Attitude Era guys". The Wyatts aren't gonna get any kind of rub from this, it's been done so many times now. I'm bored.
I'll watch Raw, post-Mania shows are usually the best shows of the year, but if something holy batshit crazy insane doesn't happen to excite me, I'm gonna take a few months off and maybe I'll get more interested again. So disappointed.
