    Oh my clutchfans brothers. When you're banging a chick, make sure you have the Bobby Roode 'Glorious' theme in the background. ;)

    Following Raw results online.

    Sounds terrible thus far. 2 rollup finishes and a drawn out 'wedding day recreation with Rusev and Lana' which apparently - and not surprisingly - drew a 'boring' chant.

    Raw can not get off the snide. They need to go back to 2 hrs so badly.

    Man can Cesaro get a freaking push? All the main event accomplished was furthering this Sheamus/Cesaro feud that shouldn't even be happening and to make Roman look strong.

    I wouldn't say terrible, just loads of fillers with non wrestling segments.

    Ambrose Podcast was weird, then again, doing an interview with DA seemed like a challenge like Jericho had Nakamura on his podcast.

    Turned it off around 9:15 but up until then it wasn't anything special, and yeah kinda boring. In fact it motivated me to buy tickets for the San Antonio house show instead of the Houston Raw later this month, because I was thinking about how disappointed I'd be to see a show with so little action.

    Plus, the matches weren't that great. Cesaro and Shamus wasn't bad but it wasn't the great match I think WWE was hoping for.

    Plus how you gonna tease a KO/Cass rivalry and then just have them say they'll fight each other in a tag team match in 2 weeks. Should have been a match that night. Hopefully it'll be one next week.

    On the bright side: Reigns wasn't as sufferable as he usually is, though I still think Rusev deserves a better rivalry.

    Making that Rusev-Lana segment super boring was a surefire way to get a Roman pop.

    I was kinda excited they were gonna give Cesaro the title, especially when he kicked out of Rusev's super kick. But then devolves into another filler match. Felt like they went to the dazed referee angle too many times last night.

    Gallows and Anderson had a great promo yesterday though. Seth's felt pretty passionate too. Hopefully they're stepping up their storytelling after seeing Dean/Zigg, but Finn's Irish history lesson was unnecessary.

    That Finn Balor promo was the coolest thing I've seen WWE do in a long time production wise. Love Rollins coaxing out the demon. Really thought some writer was tapping into how much he loved Stranger Things with that.

    Just watched the Ambrose podcast. Not weird at all.

    Anyone who thinks so should watch old school Jon Moxley stuff on YouTube.

    He was very much as I expected - the WWE version of Mox.

    Loved the fact he called Lesnar 'lazy'. Dudes got balls.

    I guess it was weird cause they stayed in character, I'm used with the guests on the Podcast where they are themselves but I should expect that from Ambrose, even when he talked about her personal life growing up, he was like brushing it off as if it was a touchy subject.

    Do y'all know of a site that tracks wrestlers wins and losses? Obviously they don't matter like they do in sports, but I'd still be interested to see it. Becky Lynch's win percentage can't be more than 5%.
