I really don't like this Flair stuff. Nobody watches wrestling for that shit.

gotta love the IWC.
so quick to throw someone like Ric fucking Flair to the curb. the guy should be around as long as he wants to. of course sadly he really is just some old guy that is Charlotte's dad to these kids. |

Him speaking last night was horrible. He was probably about half drunk.

That promo between Ric and Charlotte was one of the worst segments I've seen on RAW in years.

How? She clearly got lost and had to keep saying the same things over and over again. It was forced and obvious that neither one of them were comfortable with how it was going. She went from praise to hate to a little praise to more hate. It was utterly ridiculous and awkward. She seemed so confused out there like she didn't know if it was a promo or real. That's the problem I had with it: It was too real. They already had the issue with someone taunting her about her brother committing suicide on air a few months ago and now the writers put her in an angle disowning her father on the air? It was entirely distasteful.
Everyone in the crowd seemed to realize how horrible it was. |

That's what I liked about it. It felt real and she showed a lot of emotion. I think it's time for her to drop her father and do her own thing. It did drag on a little bit but I liked it.

I think if they would've just had her talk about "riding coat tails" and "stealing my light" instead of "personal problems, daddy issues, never home" it would've come off better.
I was digging it when she accused her father of the first two, but when she tried to get personal neither she or Ric could really handle it, and that's when it went to shit. |

Exactly. It got too personal and they couldn't handle it.
The whole time I was sitting there trying to imagine how awkward Dana Brooke must have felt in that ring. |

Agree but I think it needed to go there. He wasn't there for as a child why should he be there now. Got great heat for Charlotte to.

She already had heat. It's beyond that now.
She will get booed more than Reigns now. That's saying something. |

Because they made it too real. People weren't just booing a character at that point.

I thought that segment was awesome. Brought genuine emotion out of me. Tough to do in today's WWE. Whether you thought it came out perfect or not shouldn't matter. I hate when people complain when somebody stumbles on a few words.

I liked the Charlotte segment. Cool King would definitely hate it, though, since he dislikes all female rasslers who aren't Kaitlyn or Aksana.

I didn't watch the segment yet so I can't comment on how good or bad it was but "getting too real" seems like a nitpicky gripe. She disowned her father. It's a heel tactic. I'm not seeing the problem.

the charlotte promo wasn't the smoothest thing ever, but nowhere near as bad as the level of complaints i've seen today imo.

Sort of reminded me a little bit Solo/Ren scene in The Force Awakens. They didn't mention Reid so I don't think it went too far. |

For now. Greg Hamilton worked the Raw after WrestleMania hyping the crowd up and announcing Lilian Garcia to the ring.

Did anyone else catch Lilian Garcia announce AJ Styles as being from "Gainsborough, Georgia" on RAW this week? I know she's a lovely person and her dad is sick, but God she fucking sucks as a ring announcer. Have her turn heel and manage someone if you want to keep her around. Put her with a heel Dolph or something.

Man, I really wish Eugene had dumped the special needs gimmick at One Night Stand '06. He could have been a tremendous face (in ECW) or heel (RAW or SmackDown).

I had no clue the Intercontinental Title used to have a purple strap until reading the lovely weekly column by Mathew Sforcina over on Gerty's website.
