Leaving Byron Saxton out there alone was a bad idea. Didn't even put over Neville

least Lawler is there to help out now.

Why did they change his name to just Neville? Everytime i hear that i think of the Harry Potter character

For some reason Dean Ambrose just doesn't do it for me. Much better when he was in the Shield

Awful main event. For the Raw after Mania, that's the main event??? Started out great, but the show sure ended poorly.

It was the perfect RAW until Rusev/Goldberg. Then it got real stale really fast.

Well I'm looking even more forward to Summerslam now (at Barclays!). I'm hoping for a Rollins/Brock main event. I'm guessing Reigns will be thrown in there too.

I think that was Rusev and Goldust. Although Rusev vs Goldberg would be better. Sheamus returned as a heel.

Actually shocked she lasted this long considering she's married to Punk. Had to have been super awkward behind the scenes with all the shit going on between WWE and Punk.

I had Piledriver on cassette

Loved Demolition's theme song. Also the Honky Tonk Man's was pretty good too. Only song I didn't care for on that album was Hillbilly Jim's song.
