That was an entirely useless segment.

Brock is Canadian now. Survivor Series is in Canada. I'm worried Goldberg is going to get booed out of the building.

Hope so, still don't get why people cheer Brock as much as they do. I get tonight because of Minnesota, but still.

Raw recap thus far:
The Jericho/Owens/List stuff wasn't nearly as funny as usual despite being featured prominently throughout the first hour and a half or so of the show. I mean I didn't hate it but they've set the bar so damn high over the last few months that it's hard to get up on that level every single time.
I'm so done with Stephanie. Have been for quite some time. Just kinda tune her out.
I love when they give the Good Brothers a go at just being no nonsense tough son of a guns. Would also be nice if they could get a win every now and then. Just keep them away from those awful comedy skits.
The Enzo & Cass deal without the microphones was unreal. Quite powerful actually. I loved that part so damn much.
Rusev's promo was great. Reigns' promo was ok but you just know it took him like 30 takes to get there.
New Day vs Sheamus/Cesaro had some spots but I'm not too into that feud.

Continued recap:
I thought the arm wrestling thing was kinda cool. Have seen it dozens of times over the years and always get a bit of a kick out of it. Not sure why the crowd was so boisterous about it. Been a staple of wrestling for forever. Plus it accentuated Dana's strengths while exploiting Bayley's weakness and it worked fine for me.
Curtis Axel and Bo usually wouldn't do anything for me but I liked the added Minnesota connection to it and the match had some physicality. Totally worked for me EXCEPT the result. I know Vince gets off on having guys lose in their hometown but thought Axel should've got the win there.
Fast forwarded through the Rich Swann video package.
Everything about the Golden Truth/Shining Stars thing was awful.
The women's contract signing was incredible. Sasha was fine but Charlotte and especially Foley were on another level. My gosh I loved that whole thing.

Very much looking forward to Emmalina.
Didn't seem to make much sense for Kendrick to lose to Swann so I'm guessing that Kendrick wins on Sunday.

Is there a brother(or sister) that Vince doesn't have dancing yet in the E? New Day, Rich Swann, R-Truth, Titus and Darren always did their Millions of Dollars thing so that counts, Naomi, Sasha has some half dance moves.
I think Apollo Crews is the only one but it's early. He'll be dancing by February.

I'm oddly into the Sami/Strowman stuff.

Not sure Minnesota is the place to try and get the crowd to chant Goldberg.

According to Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Radio, Vince cut the Brock segment short & blew a gasket backstage. He was apparently super pissed about the crowd reaction.
Which begs the question, what the fuck did you expect when you book a HEEL in his former HOMETOWN and he ends up getting CHEERED, thus your big babyface who returned last week gets chanted GOLDBERG SUCKS.
Vince is a fucking idiot.

Just saw that.
Unreal.
And if you are banking on a crowd reaction to drive your storyline, pull a WCW and pipe in Goldberg chants.

I started to hear a faint Goldberg chant but looked at the crowd and didn't really see anybody chanting, so I wondered if they were kinda piping it in after a while.
Either way, just idiotic to think a Minnesota crowd would chant for Goldberg.
