Ric Flair vs. Christian should be a CGI match at Mania next year. Heat from when Christian asked Tomko to “escort Mr. Flair out of my office.”

Wrestling is so stupid now, they should have a mad inventor show up and claim he can put wrestlers’ DNA into a computer so they can enter an avatar of themselves in their perfect form. Christian vs. Flair, I’m telling you.

Wrestling may not be as good as it used to be but Steve Harvey's Family Feud is by far the funniest ever.

99 combined title reigns for the 24/7 title in a little over a year is pretty crazy.
For some comparison, decided to look up what the old Hardcore title did back in the day and it only had 13 reigns during its first year plus some change. That belt didn't start going crazy with tossing out reigns left and right until WrestleMania 2000. |

Is Show vs Orton not an HORROR SHOW EXTREME RULES match?

Cedric doesn't need a mouthpiece so I bet the twist is Ricochet turns heel w/ MVP as his mouthpiece

Orton is really fantastic. Really stepped up his game this year.

I would say Sasha/Bayley probably the MVPs of brand blue PC era

MVP is also a slight game changer lately. He's really playing his role to perfection.

Neither the 24/7 Title nor the Hardcore Title is supposed to be prestigious. The gimmick of it is that it changes hands all the time and is mindless stupidity for talk shows, public appearances, house shows, etc. I don't give a shit about it and wouldn't have done it, but R-Truth is basically the Crash Holly of this era. His performance as champion is not supposed to be graded next to Mr. Perfect's IC Title reign. |

MVP definitely fits the Paul Heyman role well

MVP has been surprisingly good from what I've seen. The bits I've seen of Bobby Lashley have really shown improvement in him as an overall worker too. Apollo Crews has been stepping up too. Not to the point he's an MVP or anything, but he's clearly trying to put all the pieces together and be worthy of his US Title position.

This Ricochet vs. Lashley match was pretty much the same routine as their match a couple weeks ago except this time being shorter in length.
Yeah those two and Otis have been the only real consistent bright spots about Smackdown in recent months. |

Sasha & Bayley absolutely suck on the mic. Somehow, Sasha still manages to shine as a star, but they need to let her cut more organic promos or give her a manager herself. I'd be fine with MVP with her too. That would fit.
Otis fucking sucks. I didn't mind him in a tag team match I saw, but his presentation outside that is fucking awful and the dream sequence bullshit is as stupid as anything on AEW (well, almost -- at least I can buy Otis and Mandy being goofs and agreeing to dream sequence shoots as a lark). They don't even give you enough skimpy Mandy outfits in it. A fucking waste. The wrestling is the highlight of SmackDown. The best in-ring stuff you get from any American promotion -- Bryan, Cesaro, Nakamura, New Day, Gulak, Gable and Morrison bringing the goods. |

I've actually been really impressed with Apollo Crews, but I'd be totally fine with Sasha Banks beating Asuka and Bobby Lashley beating Apollo Crews after subbing from MVP to become champs on Raw.

Why does the ad for Extreme Rules have a random roar from a leopard or some other wild cat included?
Doesn't really fit with the "Horror Show" tag line they've been building up considering the Swamp Fight and eyeball pulling matches. |

at Bayley randomly standing right in front of Asuka and Sasha and not even bothering to break up the submission because Kairi wasn't ready for the counter spot.
Made Bayley look extra dumb. |

Finish was whatever but Women's Tag title match was very good overall.
RAW itself was decent to pretty good overall. Didn't really drag like most RAWs in recent weeks but that first hour was mostly forgettable. Outside of the Women's Tag title match, the matches tonight were mostly forgettable while the story stuff was mostly good in general. |
