It can still be Sports Entertainment, but people want to hear Wrestling. Under Vince, you weren't allowed that W word. I think they can find a healthy balance of the two.

I heard Reigns call Cody a b**ch very loudly on the mic. McAfee followed that shortly by saying ‘sh*t’ on the mic…neither was bleeped out. Was that a mistake or are they bringing back the attitude era?

I agree.. I haven't watched wrestling since I was a kid in the WCW days but tuned in this weekend from MaCafee's show Friday hyping the event. I laughed at all of the fake hits and kicks, the rolling around on the mat in agony just to jump up again, it never looked so fake to me. But I was entertained and enjoyed it, it's certainly 100% entertainment.

Yeah that’s a pretty far departure for little kids watching. Whatever way they go, I hope they’re just consistent about it so I can adjust accordingly with my younger ones.

It’s kinda funny. I’ve wanted them to go back to attitude era for 20 years, then my kids get really into it and I’m wanting them to pull back

I mean it was professional wrestling. Moves and styles may change a bit but it’s still professional wrestling.

Raw tonight should be an epic moment of Rock taking over the bloodline and Roman being kicked out. Rock pinned Cody. Roman did not. Might see Solo spike him as well to drive it home.

New Bloodline will be Rock, Solo, Jimmy, and a debuting member. Roman goes away for a while.

Rock vs Cody is setup in Saudi. Rock has it won until Roman returns and spears him, allowing Cody to pickup the win.

Rock vs Roman setup for mania next year, with Roman going over.

Not sure why people are getting worked up over what it's called. It'll still be the same thing.

Rock is about to be gone for a bit filming a movie.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t see Roman until Backlash or after. Dude carried the industry for damn near 4 years, he’s due a good long break.

Can't see it happening. Jey is white hot over as a babyface and needs to challenge for either the IC or the USA title.

If anything, Jimmy should be begging management to let the Usos team up again.

I really wonder what the Bloodline looks like if Jimmy never got hurt at WM 36.

Could see a Bloodline Civil War. Rock takes a side and Roman takes a side. Still a ton they could do with it.

Jey would be great with money in the bank. Him teasing cash ins on Cody and being conflicted would be cool.

Think tonight they set up rock Roman for next year then they both go away for a bit, bring Roman back in a few months as a face


Cody seemingly needs to move to smackdown as well.

Ambrose would have been mind blowing. The IWC is up in arms about SCSA. The thing that they missed most was Dustin coming out after the match. I'm not going to mention the other place by name but on an individual level, Tony is a real fricking scumbag if he was asked and told Dustin no. To me if that comes out he's done in the business once existing contracts expire.


If you notice everyone that came out last night had a meaning to Roman. Cena and Taker were the legends he conquered. Seth was the catalyst that sent him off on his own. Even the way he hit him with a chair was a callback to the “Plan B Betrayal.” Seth promising Cody that he would be his Shield. They wrapped it up perfectly. Amazing storytelling

Rock and Jimmy vs Solo and Roman... Rikishi special referee....

And all of them turn on Roman... beat the living hell out of him... and he isn't seen again until he wins the Royal Rumble
