What kind of a charge is ‘affrays and riots’? He started a barroom brawl?

@Holofan4life  
Yes, but didn’t he start doing drugs (painkillers) because he got into a really horrible car crash and came back to performing before he was actually healed up?

Tomorrow is Naito vs Moxley. My body is ready.

Also, KENTA has been really good in the G1 so far. So has Moxley.

Weren’t cruiserweights like Benoit forced to bulk up to get title pushes, so they resorted to using steroids?

@Background Pony #1084  
Yes. And HGH.

@Background Pony #1084  
Chris Jericho put it more down to poor medical care. Wrestlers were being allowed to work injured, which made them more injured, which meant they were all on a cocktail of drugs just to get up in the morning. Steroids allow you to recover from injury quicker, which Benoit stated was his reason for using them.

@Holofan4life
 
Heck, aren’t some of them actually using Equine Growth Hormone because good old HGH isn’t doing it for them any more? Or so ran the rumor I read several years ago. I hope it’s a lie.

CM Punk vs Brock Lesnar was definetly & without a Doubt one of the Greatest Matches in SummerSlam History, the Psychology & Storytelling was just completly Epic & Incredible! :D

WWE just did a video package on what it means to be a Champion. It was awesome.

I normally am critical of Raw, but the last 30 minutes was maybe the best Raw has been in a long time

The last 30 minutes of Raw was some of the best of Raw I’ve seen in a while. I just love all the wrestlers coming out and a massive brawl taking place.
 
When people clamor for the return of The Attitude Era, this is what they mean. Wild, chaotic brawls keep you invested and make you want to see what happens next.
 
Also, let’s talk about Cedric Alexander. Holy shit. For the first time since joining the Raw roster, he came off like a superstar. His dive off the titontron reminded me of Rey Mysterio diving off the top of the steel cage his first night in the company. He came off like the real deal.
 
I absolutely loved the last 30 minutes of Raw. As Vince McMahon would say, “That’s good shit!”

CM Punk is definetly heavily missed in this Soulless Product no question, he is truely The Best In The World….. :)

@Holofan4life  
The only Things about this weeks Raw I finded to be Positive were the Badass/Savage Beatdown of Lesnar on Rollins(Seth absolutely deserved It for his Idiotic Remarks & Stupid Comments towards Moxley, AEW & Wrestling Fans without any Question heh) & Cedric getting a bit of Shine at the End of the Show that’s It.
 
The Gauntlet Match has been Done to Death just like the 2 out of 3 Falls Stuff, it needs to Stop period. A lot of Logic Holes aswell, why were Mysterio & Zayn a part of that Match? Zayn hasn’t won a Match since his Return in April, apparently Wins & Losses still don’t mean Shit on the Main Roster Product what’s just Laughable! AEW is coming very Soon with a Sports-centric Philosophy what I absolutely Love & Vince/WWE still do Illogical Garbage like This.
 
So overall Raw was a Thumbs Down in my Book, not a massive One, but one nontheless. I expect Logic & not my Intelligence to be insulted. :o

@Background Pony #4E12  

 
It still feels like you get confused with Kayfabe sometimes…

@Philweasel  
Nah, Seth said some stupid stuff about Moxley in an interview.

@Background Pony #4E12  
I felt my intelligence wasn’t insulted

If that gauntlet match happened in AEW, you would’ve said it was amazing.

@Holofan4life  
I think you replied to the wrong person

@Holofan4life  

 
I mean, he deserved what exactly? Being on TV, getting screentime, pretending to be being beaten up?
 
It’s a malaise across the entire wrestling fandom though. That losing a match or getting beaten up is a bad thing, rather than a necessary dramatic beat.

@Philweasel  
Seth said Moxley leaving WWE stole food from his mouth

@icey wicey 1517  
Changed it

@Holofan4life  
Yeah, but that wasn’t really Seth Rollins, that was Colby Lopez. If I want to hate on a performer for something stupid they did in real life, I would rather they not be on TV participating in big feuds.

@Holofan4life  

 
If you check out JDfromNY206’s Review of this weeks Raw, you absolutely realize that Show had massive Logic Holes no question. Logic Holes means that my Intelligence is being Insulted. :o
 
 
@Holofan4life  

 
No, if AEW would have Logic Holes(what they don’t) I would’ve called it out aswell. The Fact is Wins & Losses on the Main Roster Product of WWE means absolutely Nothing & that’s just Godawful in every Way. :o
