Wow. I don't know that I've ever seen Cena dominated like he was last night. Brock Lesnar literally destroyed him. In JBL's own words the match wasn't even close. Cena took an F5 in the first 30 seconds, and took 16 german suplexes throughout the course of the match.

This was a squash match and Cena looked like a jobber. This was a school bully beating up a dorky kid and taking his lunch money. Cena got whipped like a government mule. And just because he's awesome, Lesnar even took a moment to mock The Undertaker, right after casually shrugging off Cena's finishing move. Fucking AWESOME

In other news, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins had the greatest WWE Lumberjack match EVER

Tried to watch RAW last monday but shut it off after half an hour. Way too much talking, way too many adverts and way too much shilling of the WWE Network. It was also very obvious Brock was going to beat Cena the following weekend I thought.

All I ask for is the vaguely homoerotic campy pageantry that professional wrestling offers or used to offer.

Instead I got Paul Hayman talking for an age with Brock Lesnar standing by his side with a face like a slapped arse. The Wyatt family are about the only interesting thing at the moment for me.

Paul Heyman talking is reason enough to tune into any Raw, and Lesnar doesn't just stand around. He stands around looking like a bad ass.

That said though, WWE programming is pretty inconsistent in quality, but homoerotic, campy pageantry just sounds like utter garbage that NO ONE should watch. That's not wrestling. I honestly don't know WHAT that is.

Ambrose and Rollins stole the show yet again with an epic falls count anywhere match. They're the MVPs right now until Daniel Bryan comes back.

Reigns got outpopped by Ryback LOL. It's Ryback's home town but still

Roman Reigns sucks.

RAW is a mess. Lot of their key wrestlers are injured. Ambrose is keeping the show alive imo.

The show needs to go back to PG 14. Three hours just means more repetition and replays as if the viewers don't know what's actually happening.

So much work has to be done to RAW and Smackdown, but they basically got a monopoly so they are just focused on getting all their viewers/customers on WWE Network.
