    Raw DVR's every week for me. I fast forward through it. Probably 10-15 minutes of decent quality out of 3 hours. I recommend that approach if anyone likes it at all. Actually sitting live for 3 hours would be brutal.

    I did that too for 3, or 4 years, but I haven't had dvr in a year, and i never get home till 11 or so on Mondays, so i watch it online, and it's pretty much like having dvr.

    Really lame way to bring the authority back into power..... you knew they wouldn't be gone forever but this way seems so forced.

    You knew what was going to happen as soon as they added the stupid stipulation

    I thought the same thing, just make a Hall of Famer GM, somebody like Bret Hart or Mankind, same old stale crap, the Authority Is boring as hell...

    I was entertained by Rollins attempting a public execution on Edge to ring in the New Year though. Normally doesn't get that extreme during the PG Era of WWE. :D:D:D

    AGREED,,,the authority was / is old and to bring em back this way sucked. Not sure why Vince put that stipulation in to begin with ,I thought THAT would lead somewhere else but it was just a dead end. Maybe Stig will bring something to this but yes it is very predictable right now

    Made the whole Sting/Ziggler thing meaningless

    Yeah and Rollins isn't exactly an interesting character, technically he is really good but to me he just doesn't have that excitement about him that a guy like Ambrose, Ziggler or even Cena bring. I think 2015 will be fairly predictable, Roman Reigns will end up somehow winning the belt at Wrestlemania, I'm guessing from Cena.

    Yeah it's stale, now for the next 8 weeks you'll see the same things, fuck with Cena, fuck with Ziggler up to Wrestlemania

    Authority basically went on vacation to Hawaii for a month and came back in time for 2015...

    @Barry the Baptist Do you know why I didn't get any notification of new replies to this thread? I saw manually there were new posts, but I am subscribed to it.

    I watch wrestling quite religiously unfortunately. I'm even listening to the newest Jericho Podcast while typing this. I have a few things to say, since this thread has gotten some action recently.

    I don't feel the Sting angle was pointless. It created excitement, and started the upcoming HHH/Sting feud. Also, it was great for my man Dolph.

    Bryan coming back is going to make a horrible situation for Reigns even worse. The smarks will go ape shit in Philly when Bryan gets eliminated, and when Reigns wins especially. It's too predictable, and it won't go over well. As of a few days ago, the behind the scenes reports still say he is scheduled to win. Will that change? Who knows?

    Like most people, I liked Reigns at first with the Shield, but he has fallen out of favor with the hardcore fans. He's become worse than Cena. At least Cena can work the mic. This is going to be just like last years Rumble.

    Anybody reading this post that doesn't watch NXT, START WATCHING NXT. Enzo Amare, and Big Cas are the most exciting team I've seen in over a decade. Sami Zayn is fantastic. He has done things I've never seen before. Adrian Neville is very exciting to watch. Kevin Owens looks like he'll be a good watch. The Luchador Dragon guys are entertaining...ok the whole show is just great. It's just great. It's like the attitude era without the obscenities. The Prince Devitt entrance at R evolution was maybe the best entrance I've EVER seen..ever.

    Not a big deal. I usually check BS forum anyway.
    Who knows? Maybe I just missed it when I woke up and checked.

    My WWE Thoughts:
    -Daniel Bryan coming back is great.

    -Reigns will no doubt be champ sometime in 2015, probably Wrestlemania. He is cool.

    -Never been a fan of Bray Wyatt but he is so stale now. Hardcore fans like it I guess, to me, its bad.

    -Ambrose is the man. Give him a better program than Wyatt.

    -Rollins is also doing better as a heel now. His laugh is hilarious. Can't be taken as a serious #1 threat though.

    -Lesnar as champ has been a joke. He is never there and when he is, does nothing of importance.

    -Cena/Lesnar being labeled their "final match" means Lesnar has to win right? Otherwise he would get a re-match.

    -AJ and Paige were good for the Divas division. The rest are worthless.

    -Speaking of worthless, why are The Big Show and Kane still on TV? They are so bad. Retire already.

    -Mizdow is funny. Hope he is given a proper shot whenever he and Miz break up.

    Ambrose cracks me up, he's one of the best things they have going...while HHH and his horror wife should retire along with the Big Show and if you want to save Kane turn him back into the red monster

    She is awful, she's terrible on the mic, she's a bad actor and she's hideous to look at. Of course she's also daddy's little girl so she won't be going anywhere for a while.
