I really, really hope they do something about this. It's the type of thing which makes me not want to associate myself with said company and try out TNA, LU or Japanese wrestling.

edit: Not at that stage yet, but I'll see.
Yeah, I agree. It's enough to turn you off completely. Not least because Mauro was/is a total gun.

Obvs what he's going through would be a terrible thing to happen to anyone, especially if it's the result of bullying and someone being a colossal asshole. But if reports are to be believed, they've basically allowed an "old school" **** who is horrible to listen to force out a guy who was a breath of fresh air and one of the best things about their programming. ****s.

Mauro hires Steve Blackman as a bodyguard. Make it a work/shoot combo like Matt Hardy vs Edge from back in the day.

The thing that really annoys me, and I kept silent during it because I didn't wanna hijick the thread, is that during Taker-Roman, it was absolutely impossible for me to believe JBL wasn't on commentary in part because of this whole thing. He wasn't necessarily rewarded (although it seems it could have been just that), but just that, if Mauro had been doing WM as intended, then it seemed to me that the Smackdown guy wouldn't've been calling the match between two Raw guys, but because Mauro was gone, they could flip things around, and all of a sudden JBL is doing the main event with his friend Cole

ok i've gone back and finished it and that was extremely good. i was a bit worried going into it following the shibata-suzuki flop. but Big Match Okada never lets us down
Part of the reason I was worried is that Shibata has his script/style of match and he follows it almost always, and he did it here and it worked great, but now that he's lost (in keyfabe) and gone to hospital (real), hopefully we see Shibata adjust his script/style (ie no more headbutts)

You reckon? Didn't ever really see that one being commentated by the "Raw" team if it was Takers retirement match.

Just saw that Juice won against Naito. Wow, was cheered too. Really wish they'd change his name and look a little, I'm really enjoying him in ring but he reminds me of the evil DJ in Zoolander.

Charlotte for Alexa
Emma for Carmella

Would instantly go on feuds of Becky vs. Emma and Charlotte vs. Naomi, Alexa to use Nia as her heavy and Carmella to rejoin Enzo and Cass while keeping a singles career as an eater of pins.


Want to see Asuka get called up by Summerslam or so, possibly on Raw And for her to remain undefeated until WM. Feed her jobbers, maybe Bayley Survivor Series, Sasha Royal Rumble and Charlotte for Mania.
Resting Bliss Face would be a good trade for RAW. One of the biggest problems post brand split was all of the competent talkers in the women's division somehow ended up on Smackdown. Bayley, Sasha, Nia, etc. are all pretty hard to listen to at times.

Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't rule that out I guess. But it sounds a bit conspiracy theory-ish for me. Not enough evidence to chalk it up as anything more than speculation.

Haha, I doubt they would do that tbf. Not least because they basically did that last year. Tbf though Roman vs AJ from about a year ago was really good.
FFS, I completely forgot about that.

One of the main reasons I want him to stay though is the chance we get to see AJ vs Naka sooner rather than later. Hope they have good programs for those two if they get separated.

Heel Sasha is a pretty great promo TBF. Reckon she's better than Bliss on that front.

Also speaking of commentators, how terrible is Percy Watson on NXT?

Makes me wish Otunga was there. Half the time you can't even hear him because hes mumbling something quietly to himself.

Just reminded me, what ever happened to this Blackman proposed show? Genuinely looked immense telly, but as a Blackman mark I am biased:laugh:

Why is that unhappy face? Miz not being able to interact with DB is a blow but otherwise both of those guys can succeed without writers helping them.
