I skimmed through it but none of it caught my attention really. I just really don't care about much on RAW due to the poor booking.

I've been watching old WWF from 1999 (I'm only in May so far, and there's only been one episode of Smackdown) on some website, but they only have up to the end of 1999 and nothing from 2000.
If anyone is still subscribed to WWE Network, could you jump on and see if they've got all of the Raws, Smackdowns and PPVs from 2000? It's probably going to be next year before I actually get to it.
Yeah it's all there. They had all the PPVs from the start anyway but they've got all of the Raw and Smackdown episodes up now too, there's only some minor shows missing like early NXT and the ECW reboot, things like that.
Attempted murder of the opponent after the match. But still 100% the face, right guys?.. Guys?
Looked like a double turn to me.
Cheers, @wullie. I wasn't sure if WWE had held some stuff back and there'd be big gaps or not.
Is Reigns the likely opponent for Lesnar at Summerslam, then, or is there another PPV before then? I wish they'd just go back to Backlash, Judgement Day, King of the Ring so I can keep up a bit better!
And me, but my cynical side says they'd never make him full heel. They seem to like him as a tweener now.Originally Posted by SvN
There isn't a RAW PPV until after Summerslam, so I'd expect Reigns to be #1 contender. I don't think he'll go over yet though.
Everything looked that way to me but yeah, WWE, they'll probably try and change nothing and keep it as it is despite Roman looking 1000% the heel and Strowman entirely face.
Also I can't believe I allowed myself to look forward to that main event. What a load of shit. Fuck off, Bork.
That's fair.
I kinda expected/wanted a longer Bork v Joe match with multiple F-5's.
Edit: That post was out of frustration because I want WWE to be better.
Just caught some of RAW and that Joe promo was great.
I like how the Brock matches are hard-hitting and don't overstay their welcome but his constant German suplex routine is ruining the memory of that ace Cena match. Even Great Khali had a bigger repertoire.
GBOF was alright, I was sports entertained.
Alberto del Rio won the TNA/GFW Championship last week, and has been suspended today, allegedly for roughing Paige up. Here's the full story so far:
Harsh.
Actually Jay-Eee-Double-Eff it was Ricardo Rodriguez who said his name like that.
It was a worked botch to reflect Mr. McMahon spelling 'gone' wrong.
My issue with him (and the way WWE book him) is that he is actually good and is capable of having good, proper matches but you'd hardly know it. If he was properly shit I'd just be glad he wasn't outstaying his welcome. He doesn't care about wrestling, that's fine, I get that. But they ought to be either making him play ball or stop giving him all the money and let him fuck off.
Is it worth the brief spike in ratings when he bothers to turn up if they're going to have them be dirt the rest of the time anyway?
Is there anyone in 'the business' that this Paige woman isn't/hasn't slept with?
I'd say her brothers, but they are all from Norwich.
Her mum was wrestling when she was about halfway through her pregnancy with Paige and Paige was wrestling at, what, 12 /13? It's little wonder she's a state.
Watched the hour-long match between Michaels and Cena from however long ago. It lived up to it's reputation.
Also watched Kurt Angle's WWE 24 episode. Not the most exciting doc on the Network but he really opens up about the drug stuff and some things about his family, so fair play.
The Japanese World Cup qualifiers are on now, followed by the live draw for the round of 16, so it will determine which matches I get to see.
Will Ospreay Vs Rey Mysterio
The rest could be total bilge and that would make it worth the price of admission.
Fair chance the whole card will be awesome.

Not much of a surprise there. It's not something I ever sat and watched but some of the better promo / character work (not just Miz's) came from this from what I'd seen.
What's the general consensus with the Angle storyline? I'm struggling for sensible ideas - I suspect it will be Stephanie and Triple H related, but where Corey Graves fits in and stuff, I don't really know.
I can't imagine it will be Dixie Carter, GFW/TNA are still competition, albeit naff competition.
It'll be Stephanie because that's the least interesting possibility.
Shelty B.
His gay lover Brock Lesnar.
Stephanie, setting up a match with Triple H because why book stuff the fans actually want to see?
Plus it sets up Angle / HHH which WWE seems to think we all want to see.
Well that's a little worrying.
I fucking hate Triple H. I hate his stupid Wrestlemania entrances, I hate his boring 30 minute matches, I hate the way he wants to be Harley Race and I hate his stupid face.
I don't care for him in a wrestling sense anymore (I agree on the entrances, they're such awful tragic shit) but he's clearly one of the few at the top of the company who know what they're doing.
His match with Rollins would probably have been pretty good if they'd cut it to being 15-20 minutes.
I've never heard this before.
The pause and then JR's last line is ace.
It's still on the network, around the same time HBK was being all metrosexual and posing for Playgirl.
Angle's brood has a new member.
It's so much better than him having sex with Stephanie McMahon or Dixie Carter.
The backlash to the segment has been superb, particularly as it seems to boil down to "But.... but.... he's BLACK!"
Especially when Angle's a few shades darker than him too.
Link it back to the Sharmel 'beastiality sex'.
Angle's going to turn up on Raw like this next week, isn't he?
Remember Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio fighting for custody of little Dominick? This is the perfect way to get Shelton Benjamin back to feud with Angle.
Can't believe the show where the old lady gave birth to a fully formed human hand has unrealistic genetics when it comes to breeding.
Nobody batted an eyelid at the Dudleys being brothers.
I did. Spike looked nothing like Bubba Ray. Totally unbelievable.
Shane O'Mac survived a 'helicopter crash' (a controlled landing in the water) this morning. He's invincible.

This Angle / Jordan thing is going to be part of a wider thing, right? Because if not that's a right load of old meh and the very first bits of it make bugger all sense.
Apparently it's been planned all along, although it makes no sense that he was shitting it about something that'll cost him his family and his job but he announced while saying how his family and employers are behind him.
