    Listen to those boos for roman!

    Must be from the adults. Those very loud cheers for him earlier sounded like they were all coming from kids.

    There has to be a twist and there's another last event for tonight? This is the go home Raw for Survivors Series.

    It's looking like they might go with the divas contract signing as the end of the show. They showed Stephanie with the start of the Divas Revolution earlier so I'm thinking tonight be another attempt to get it started.

    Unless this "Divas Revolution" involves a Bra and Panties match, they can shove it. :pac:

    Would I be right is saying that the only main contender in the tournament that Triple H didnt offer to be "The Man" tonight was Ambrose?

    Seems ominous ;)

    So Ronda Rousey loses on Saturday and announces she's taking a break from the UFC, and there's a Divas segment to close the show tonight......:)

    If only. But with Raw ratings in the toilet there's no way they'd have her on and not promote or leak it.

    Yeah 'twas only a joke alright, and it really wouldn't make any sense at this time either. She's have a Wrestlemania match at some point, just not this year or next year.

    Id say they were hoping to get her for WM 32. But after that loss at the weekend they wont touch her till she's champion again. If at all.

    She won't do WM32 because she's filming a movie around that time IIRC. Other than that it probably would've happened. They are definitely still interested in her, she's still going to be a huge name, and is a big wrestling fan too.

    Probably the worst ending to Raw ever. Charlotte should never pick up a mic again, her voice is like a nail on a chalkboard.

    Hmm, I disagree. I'm not Charlotte's biggest fan but that was the first time I seen a divas angle on Raw where it felt it meant something and made me want to see the match.

    That said...did they have to go there..

    Any of you ever hear of a website called Wrestlecrap?

    Yeah, that last segment will be up there soon. Horrendous. The new "Eddie is in hell"

    "Well Vince, Ronda sold some pay-per-views on the back of her dead father this year so we could try that?!"

    "Well gawd dammit kid that's genius!!!"

    (bloody awful close to an awful show)

    Anyone here seen Breaking Ground, they do a bit where they show the wrestlers in promo training

    Well Charlotte must have never gone near that training. Good god she's terrible on the mic, everything sounds so wooden and directly from the script

    The sooner the let Sasha loose and shine the better

    Wow Reigns was really exposed in that match. Cesaro rang rings around him. Reigns is not bad or anything but he's got a long way to go still.

    The less said about the divas segment the better. Christ.

    I would guess because Vince has just this weekend jumped on the 'women can draw' train after seeing the attention Holm/Rousey has garnered these past couple of days, so he decided to try putting women on last on his show.

    He doesn't want to be seen as 'behind the times' y'know.

    I thought Reigns was good in his match. At this stage it should be viewed as positive that when he is in there with a good worker like Cesaro now or Bryan pre mania his explosive style adds to a match.

    One of the Reasons Cesaro looked so good is that Reigns, like him or not, has the aura of someone important.

    Him as champ facing Ambrose, Rollins, Owens all sound good to me.

    They should be pushing Cesaro to replace Bryan though. He would guarantee quality big matches against anyone.

    He's definitely better but he still can't wrestle a broom like the greats can.

    Kind of surprised at the massive backlash at the ending segment. I'll be honest, I enjoyed it well enough. While I can appreciate the complaints about her brother, I was still happy enough to see such a feud (man or woman's) get such a prominent spot at the end of the show, especially as it doesn't give away results for bigger feuds. Didn't think it was anywhere near as bad as some people are saying online. Was it great? No. But it was better than the flack its getting.

    Meanwhile, the show was good in terms of moving the tournament on, had some great wrestling...for a Raw, I enjoyed what I saw.

    Only major annoyance is the Taker/Kane vs Wyatts feud ended last week, and the match looks utterly predictable and utterly pointless.

    Charlotte seems to be getting the brunt of the criticism, I don't understand why. Paige is bloody awful.

    They both struggled at the end.

    One horrible pause by Charlotte seemed to go on forever like she forgot her line.

    It even looked like Cole was asked to try and close it off.

    But its not like they get that opportunity every week and must have felt a lot of pressure in the moment.
