    I guess I missed this a few weeks ago, but its back in news cycle because Cornette was enjoying it on his podcast yesterday, but aew followed NBA on the 23rd and a I guess nba fans on Twitter who haven't seen wrestling in a while just absolutely roasted Jericho on Twitter. Found a few examples

    Only really flip to Raw during halftime of MNF or if I want background noise while I scroll/shit post here.

    I generally just read the recaps the next day and then watch highlights of things that get effusive praise.

    I stopped watching RAW live a few weeks ago. I still haven’t watched this weeks episode.

    Doesn’t matter who the writers are now or next. Vince makes the calls and the changes and he’s a washed up 75 year old man. I’ve made this comparison in the past but it’s very accurate. We are living in the final years of Bobby Bowden/Joe Paterno. No longer are they going to National Title Games and Elite Bowls. We are shitting our pants on National TV and barely beating the Jacksonville States of the world. Nothing in WWE will improve till Vince gives up day to day operations of the TV product or passes away. Given the history of Vince we can all wait for Father Time to come a knocking because he’s not stepping down.

    WWE does a good job with Twitter that you could be fully up to speed with RAW just by following them and looking at the dozen or so tweets they put out during the show. You don’t need to DVR or watch live anymore. You don’t need a recap pod after either. And it takes like 10 minutes Max to be in the loop.

    Chris' body is intentional. He always wanted to be an aging rock and roll star of yesteryear.

    I feel terrible for the poster who get's Charlotte... She's such an underdog no way they give her a big spot like that.

    (I just finished RAW)

    And fucking Goldberg. What the hell was that promo... Drew has done nothing but give love to the vets he's a pure baby face with an ass kicking edge. The fuck are you talking about. Is this "heel" goldberg? I did laugh at Drew saying Goldberg is old enough to be his dad.

    I'd book DBry to go the distance from #1 and get his big Rumble win.

    But then again, I'd also have Roman win at Mania.

    They seemed pressed for time. The show seemed to run long... had to get Orton shitting on every legend with zero pay off in I guess. The title match sorta just ended (btw it was really getting good before the abrupt end) so I'm not sure if Drew was to get up and hit him with the clymore or if the ending was the push. Either way its an odd close.

    Both can happen... Both can be great.

    The story could be epic, go back to 2015 Rumble in Philly where I led the charge to shit on Roman along with 15k other fans. How everyone wanted Daniel to win and we got Roman. Even Rock couldn't get us to cheer on Roman. Roman in his new heel role could kill this. Story tells itself.

    It feels like they are really considering giving Charlotte another Rumble win. Her story right now is literally she is tag champ but wants the single title, she is cutting baby face promos about being such an underdog to win the Rumble and commentary is hard selling the fact no women has won it back it to back before.

    WWE go to moves when they have ratings trouble all seem to be happening
    1. Bring back legends
    2. Scramble and put belt on Brock or Goldberg (although I think Drew may beat him)
    3. Let Charlotte get all the women's storylines

    What do you think would cause the most backlash at Royal Rumble (and sadly all are possible)

    1. Charlotte wins Rumble again
    2. Goldberg wins title
    3. Miz cashes in to win a title
