I watched the last 2 matches. Enjoyed Reigns and Owens. The fire match was ok. I really enjoy what they are doing with Reigns. I think they have finally put him in a spot where he can succeed.

Yeah Reigns is perfect as a heel. Check out Drew/AJ that started the show; best match of the night. Sasha/Carmella was better than expected; Charlotte came back and won the tag titles with Asuka. Hurt Business beat The New Day for the tag titles as well.

Thanks for the heads up. I went and watched the first match and it was really good. AJ is so good. He is definitely the Shawn Michaels of this generation. That big black dude they got is a monster. Are they doing like a Shawn Michaels/Diesel thing with them?

Yeah, except if you thought Nash couldn't work....well, they quadrupled down on this guy.

I don't think he's actually "worked" at all though. This is like his 3rd gimmick this year, and I'm almost certain he hasn't even thrown or taken a punch.

I enjoyed him dropping the Miz through a table last night.

Cool, I didn't get a chance to watch TLC yet, but at least they got the big guy to do something other than just standing there.

That leads me to a big gripe about the WWE Network. I usually watch the PPVs after they're finished and I can fast forward through matches or promos that I have no interest in. But the last 3 or 4 PPVs have been a nightmare to watch. I'll usually fire them up on those Sunday nights, and either the audio is completely missing, or the English audio commentary has been placed under a different language. Last night, the english audio was completely gone. All the other languages were placed under the wrong category too. This isn't the first time I've had this happen either. Usually these issues are cleared up after I give up and decide to watch it the next day instead. Why can't WWE get their shit together? It's like Chas is in charge of IT there.

yeah when I went back and watched the AJ/Drew match it was in some strange language I figured I had just hit a wrong button or something.

I really dislike Riddle.

I've actually started to like the guy. Wasn't a fan when he was first brought up to the main roster, but I think he's finding his place now.

I watched about half of the Broken Skull Session with Drew McIntyre. Man this thing was a snoozefest. I'm just not a fan of Drew's. He's an average worker but he's just boring. I thought Stone Cold could at least keep it somewhat interesting, but I tapped out after about 30 or 40 minutes.

"Raw Legends" episode last night was decent. Goldberg came out and challenged Drew for the title at Royal Rumble; Hogan cut a couple of decent promos; Charlotte turned heel on Ric and berated him for causing her to lose; Orton confronted Mark Henry and Big Show to remind them how he destroyed their careers; Melina and Torrie Wilson still look great.

Other legends I saw: Sgt. Slaughter, Molly Holly, IRS.

I wouldn't mind seeing Goldberg beat Drew, leading to Goldberg/Reigns at WrestleMania to unify the titles. Reigns wins and the brand split goes away.

No. Just...no.

Not a mult.

I say that because there's been a little of smoke with Goldberg/Reigns. I'm ready for the brand split to end and just have one men's/women's/tag champion. That's the only reason I can think of why Drew is facing Goldberg at RR.

Goldberg can literally die in a fire. Why does Vince drag this walking corpse out once a year?

Don't know why Goldberg keeps coming back.

NXT: New Year's Evil is pretty good so far.

is anyone actually looking forward to Goldberg vs Drew McEntyre? You know Goldberg is going to walk away with the belt since he wouldn't even agree to doing this angle unless he becomes champ. Screw Vince.

Drew kicks out of the jackhammer and then retains the title. Okay for a match involving Goldberg.

Glad the Goldberg match is out of the way.

Take him out back and shoot him then.

I liked Goldberg 23 years ago. Now...meh

My buddy asked me how long it had been since Jillian Hall was in the ring. My answer was “not long enough”
