Raw 8/14: Raw is How is Ric Flair Doing?

The lactic acid buildup from holding your fist out that long must be something awful.

Although, I totally wanted to hear Reigns' music hit. That hasn't happened for years.

I see it ending with them having a solid 5 month run as tag champs, Ambrose turning on Rollins and we get Rollins vs Ambrose at Mania. Ambrose as the heel.

I don't understand the whole Nia character. Her gimmick is "she's not like most girls" yet everything she does is the exact same thing as every other girl.

She also is a monster, so why does she sell every move Sasha throws like death? Sasha is 90 pounds & she's 250. It should take Sasha at least twice as much offense for Nia to feel the effect. Also Nia missed a standard elbow & that kept her down, leading to another commercial break.

Little things like that annoy the shit out of me, especially when you watch it every week. It's like the working over an arm the whole match, then not selling it at all & hitting a Spear to end the match.

Her 'stache is trash.

By cracky!

Honestly can't tell if this is Xpac heat or not ... a certain percentage of it is, no doubt.

He's also listened to Arn Anderson.  Fat looks better tan.  

This has been a nice little wrestling show.

We have a new Cruiserweight Champion.....on the go home show for Summerslam.

I'm fine with Tozawa winning the title, it's just you've built this up for months now & you do the pay off at the show BEFORE Summerslam? that's questionable

I guess we could get Balor vs Wyatt tonight. Wyatt vs The Demon at Summerslam.

That actually makes sense. If he's going to bust that out, might as well do it at that show.

This is what I was thinking.  He hasn't busted it out for quite a while.  

Welp.  Maybe not?  

That's not really what I am looking for when I suggest they add color to a match.
