That was a poor RAW, and giving Rollins a TLC match as the main event of the go home show just before arguably the best three females in the company get a turn was a dick move.

According to WWE this is the first women's TLC match (I don't know if that part is true but they are rarer) and it is featuring arguably the best three women in WWE. TLC matches are also rarer, so to do one with a lot of the typical TLC spots 6 days before the women get to do one seemed pointless and takes a little bit away from what the women are accomplishing. They'll tear it down anyway, it just wasn't necessary. They could have just done a ladders match or chairs match.

Watched Rollins' Raw rant from this week and boy, do I wish he found a better way to be an advocate for The Revival than throwing Lucha House Party under the bus.
205 is the best show you have, dog, and LHP is a big reason why.

Ah alright. I don't see it as a big deal but it doesn't seem like you do either, but that doesn't mean it's not a deal and I do see your point. Thanks for clarifying.

Conversely: Lucha House Party Rules suck.

Yeah but the Lucha rules thing makes no sense.
Why is this babyface team okay with doing this to other wrestlers? Why do the face commentators act like it's good and that Corey is crazy for calling it out as unfair? Why is it suddenly unfair when AoP get an extra man then? Why does Corbin, the heel authority figure, allow the face team to get the upper hand on the heels to begin with?Why are we supposed to like it?
It's one of the weirdest, counter-productive things on the show right now.
It's ridiculous how much better Smackdown is at making me care about why matches are happening and why things are happening in the matches.
Ali vs Bryan and Charlotte vs Asuka were absolutely great.
Wait who won Charlotte vs Asuka 2?
a kendo stick
EXCELLENT(seriously no contest or Asuka winning was the only way it should have ended)

So on 205, Lucha House Party rules just means tornado tag.
Were they doing it handicap on Raw then? If so, yeah, that's dumb, but still...call out the match being dumb and say how Revival AND LHP are better than that.

It was the same ending as the Ronda match: Charlotte gets frustrated, pulls a kendo stick out from under the ring and starts wailing on her opponent and gets DQ'ed. Becky eventually got involved and whacked Charlotte with the stick a bunch, and then Asuka rallied, hit them both with the stick many times, and stood tall at the end of the ep.
That sucks. Stop using 205 people anywhere else. Let them exist in a world that doesn't fucking suck like the rest of WWE.
That Daniel Bryan/Mustafa Ali match was real good and did both of them all the favors it should.
...of course it makes absolutely no sense with the brand split but I guess in kayfabe you can chalk it up to another fuckup on behalf of Barron Corbin: Worst RAW GM of all time.
This argument is fucking stupid. First of all there are different writing teams for Raw and Smackdown so they're not writing five hours of tv. Secondly they're not doing anywhere near the amount of writing that a normal scripted show is doing for those hours anyway. The amount of time they're writing isn't the problem it's Vince McMahon fucking with stuff to fit his stupid tastes.
Also, as somebody pointed out on twitter, they just got like a billion dollars for their tv rights. Hire some more fucking writers so people don't have to work as hard.
I'm watching New Japan on AXS right now, and... Well, I had heard how bad JR and Barnett were, but I didn't really believe it. I do now.
Luckily it's the last month they're doing the commentary
Are they just replacing them with the live English commentary from Kevin Kelly and whomever is with him?
Yeah, they'll be using the actual show commentary which is great because Kevin Kelly and his rotating cast of commentary partners have been improving leaps and bounds while JR has rested on his BBQ sauce stained laurels.

Kelly and Callis yep. Starts with same day coverage of WK Jan 4 at 8PM Eastern, then same-week coverage of events starting with New Beginning in Sapporo

Also “sure the show sucks, but there’s so MUCH of it” isn’t a great argument
I don't even know why I care about what AXS does when I don't watch it there since I have NJPWworld, but I'm glad it's larger distribution isn't going to be hindered by commentary now.
I hope Addy Starr holds on to that title belt until Beef Wellington comes out of retirement to finally avenge that 0-7 streak he had against her at Slamtasia 3.
A Lego deatchmatch isnt that bad because the more legos you throw in the less horrible stepping/landing on them is
It is specifically putting all your weight down on a single lego that especially hurts like a motherfucker
Way to ruin the gimmick. This is like telling people the apron is the hardest part of the ring. Now they need to have spots set up where they clear the ring of all but one lego to get head dropped on in front of 75 people.
