Use of jobbers is so much better/smarter. Rosters to small to bury talent in squash matches.

I love job matches and I hope we see more of them. The WWE needs them.

These. Jobber matches are best for business

[RoccoTanno123]

Sasha vs. Charlotte match was really good. I don't think there's been a better women's match since Natty Niedhart vs. Charlotte for NXT women's at NXT Takeover I think it was a year or so ago.

Go check out Sasha vs. Bayley (either match), Sasha vs. Becky, also check out the fatal fourway match from early 2015 with Sasha/Charlotte/Becky/Bayley

all those matches chit on Natty vs. Charlotte, which was a good match itself. But you're missing the best era of women's NXT on the whole.

[RoccoTanno123]

Sasha is ugly . She looks like the mole rat from kim possible

Still dont give a fuk about womens division

negged for sucking more cock than the biggest cuck

That was 2 years ago, and there were quite a few better than that last year:

Charlotte vs. Becky vs. Sasha vs. Bayley
Becky vs. Sasha
Sasha vs. Bayley
Sasha vs. Bayley Ironman

All were better.

They should call up elperfecto and have him team with Strowman.

[RoccoTanno123]

Jobbers work. Their job is to get people over.

I'm sick of the 50/50 protect everyone at all costs booking

Agreed. They should ditch 50/50 booking. Not sure if the squashes for monsters, which is the trend as of 2 matches now, though is the best way to go. Especially since Nia and Braun both suck.

[JustJones]

Also brauns new look takes away that babyface he had imo. Takes away from the roundness with the sides shaved.

Wouldn't say that to his face though.

[marinevet63031]

That Struaman squash match.

[tnel00]

They should call up elperfecto and have him team with Strowman.

I was legit thinking this the other day

[SpartacusNYC]

The Travel Agents are back for another squash match

[ScrillaVilla]

Hnnnng Shining Stars appearance

[crazykid46]

3rd time they have used jobbers tonight.

- Nia Jax opponent

- Braun Strowman opponent

- Enzo/Cass opponent

[tnel00]

Didn't congress already approve the bailout for Puerto Rico? Why is Vince still sending these guys out here to shill for tourism money?

[RhysB1993]

Carlito as a mouth piece for these guys wouldn't be awful. Drop the tourism gimmick and it'd be ok.

[RoccoTanno123]

They should call up elperfecto and have him team with Strowman.

I hope elperfecto can work his ass off because Strowman can maybe only be the hot tag, and he might suck ass at that too, just see how he botched catching Kofi numerous times.

Because Jersey trash (no hate on Enzo and Cash tho) need another vacation spot beyond Florida.

[tnel00]

Giving guys more screen time by splitting the roster is going to give people a reason to care about the mid carders

[butteredtoast]

R-Truth the real shining star

[LurkoLantern]

Everytime I see Finn, the first thought in my head is, "This guy needs visine"

I hope you DVR'd because you wanna rewind to the women's match (not the Nia Jax one)

There have been far too many people from NJ and NYC coming down here lately. We don't need or want anymore.

[BloodyBaron]

Guyz, this is just my personal speculation, but I think we're witnessing Triple H having greater control of the show.
- Use of terms like "wrestling"
- Better camera work
- Graves and Saxton playing off one another just like NXT (it literally took Graves 20 minutes to find his groove, and now he's on fire)
- Show has a darker, more authentic tone
- Finn being introduced organically - getting it out of the way so he can perform
- Post-match in-ring interviews


Seriously, all I've got to complain about is the "universal" title name. Dang it Triple H, we're winning too much! We're so sick of winning! Can't we lose once in awhile?

I am curious about the use of jobbers. This has the potential to get old fast unless some swerves are thrown at us.

I can watch jobbers get buried all day (srs).

Totally agreed about everything else though. This has been my favorite non-post WM RAW in years. If HHH really is finally getting NXT-like control with RAW, we're in for some major improvements.

Use of jobbers is so much better/smarter. Rosters to small to bury talent in squash matches.

100% this.

I love job matches and I hope we see more of them. The WWE needs them.

This. No mid carder gets buried and monster heels like Braun/Nia get to look like a thousand bucks.

Inb4 Balor Club

I'm confused as to why they already had "BALOR CLUB" in huge letters on the titantron during Finn's first entrance

[RoccoTanno123]

Oh, I already knew. Called it!

[RoccoTanno123]

Obviously reporting has to be done on this show. But I bet Vince is still involved with this show and it's booking.

The biggest difference:
-no ADR
-no Ziggs
-no Kane
-no Cena
-no Orton
-no Corbin
-no Bray carny barking

sometimes subtraction is addition. I hope they can keep this up. To be fair, they booked this show incredibly strong going into this main event.

Pretty sure it was there in NXT too.
