Upon further review I would have done the Cass/Enzo split a little different.
When Corey announced that it was Cass who attacked Enzo, I would have had Cass admit it, then beat Enzo's ass. Next week, Enzo comes out demanding an explanation. Cass comes out with the new look, and says "You want an explanation, fine! You see, Enzo..." Then hits him with the Microphone and beats his ass again. Next week, Cass comes out by himself. Gives the promo he gave, without Enzo standing there looking like a bitch. Cass caps off his promo with "I am the future of the WWE. Because, like some peon said, I am seven foot tall... AND YOU CAN'T TEACH THAT!" Enzo runs in and attacks with a big flying move he hopefully doesn't botch, knocking Cass to the floor. |

In Noid's defense, I'd totally have understood if everyone raving about Alexa Bliss was the last straw for him. She really isn't half as good as people make her out to be. I can see feeling the need to escape the bizarro world for a bit.

There's only really been one Cruiserweight match that's actually made me think "this is a great match" and that was Neville/Aries at WrestleMania 33. The rest of the matches are usually just really bad with a few decent matches every now and then but overall, the division stinks. |

The whole thing felt half-assed and rushed to me. But in the end we got a singles run with a heel Cass. What's not to like about that? I've been wanting this to happen since about a month after he made it to the main roster. Not so much the heel part, but I still think this new Cass will be good and be it heel or face, I've always felt that Cass is something special and one to watch for the future. |

Yeah, I gotta echo Noid: I don't get Alexa Bliss either. She's pretty bleh .

I can third the Alexa notion, other than being eye candy.

Alexa Bliss ended up outing who in Creative wrote that terrible "This Is Your Life" Bayley segment a couple weeks ago.
Writer is named Johnny Russo which immediately generated the online jokes of if he's related to Vince Russo. Same guy is also in charge of the entire RAW Women's division so he's to blame for why its been terrible overall. |

I still think Alexa's improved heaps over the last year. I genuinely thought she was being called up too early during the draft last year, but she's really taken to her role.

Yeah, I'm not gonna compare her to asuka or charlotte, but ignoring how much she's improved is just being unfair.

Didn't say she hadn't improved, but she is still very "meh" to me.

Savage saying Elizabeth was locked up Which she probably was. Bret's promo was fucking terrible. |

Actually, I think it was people gushing over The Usos' promos. It's just...okay, you are getting enjoyment out of it. It's not about yucking your yum. It's just the difference between favorite and best, and what you enjoy and what is actually good. Hell, wrestling itself could be considered "not good," but I enjoy it. I'm not going to justify it as an Emmy contender because I love it though. I like Alexa Bliss just fine. She's wonderful to look at and pours her little heart into whatever it is she's doing. I quite enjoyed her NXT role -- even her early babyface stuff. I can just admit she's green as hell and has a long way to go before she gets as great as she is probably going to get, given their investment in her and her apparent ethic. I think they're blowing their load a bit early with her push now, because I think that by the time she gets really great, all the stuff that will be actually great about her will already be internalized by many of her fans now, and they will be the ones crying "boring" as she heads into her 9th WrestleMania championship match or whatever, as people who were chill on her are like "Wtf, she's great." |

I still just think she needs a lot of work. I think her acting is pretty atrocious, her mugging is pretty annoying and early on in that SmackDown role, you could see her focusing on patting her head and rubbing her tummy at the same time. She's just not polished and that is fine. But improving =/= great. Improving is a process through which you increase in ability level. Heidenreich may have improved between the years of 2004 and 2005, but what does that necessarily mean about his ability level? |

Buff complaining or sending his mom to complain why Big Show got a limo and he didn't during his first days in the WWE is still a really funny story.
Only found out recently the whole limo thing was actually just a prank by Big Show that spiraled into something a lot bigger and a reason why Bagwell was quickly released by the WWE. |

Sawyer Fulton was injured or something, and replaced......
Too bad, because I think he was better than Killian Dane and "fit in more" with the group........ |
