Good news for WWE – The RAW brand had made it back to America this past Wednesday night after being stuck in Europe due to volcanic activity in Iceland. Thus ensuring that the Extreme Rules PPV will continue as advertised.

Bad news for WWE – They lost a potential buyer of their PPV… alright, so I was never planning on buying the PPV, but man, that would have made for a fun time if half the PPV had to be scrapped on the fly due to the RAW crew being stuck in Europe due to additional volcanic activity or something.

In any case, here are my thoughts on this show. (Along with some 2018 notes for posterity.)

I’m trying to figure out whether this is a decent trade-off.

Last year and years prior, WWE held a PPV called Cyber-Sunday – originally called Taboo Tuesday – where WWE fans would have their say on what happens in certain matches… i.e. who does the champion face, what stipulation between two men are there, what silly costume do the Divas wear in order for us to care about them, and so on and so forth. It was a novel concept, but for some reason – possibly something to do with sales being shit – WWE decided to drop that PPV in favor of Bragging Rights, which is touted as a Smackdown vs Raw encounter, but only ends up being one match billed as such… and a Divas match.

So, WWE has gone off the deep end with these stipulation-themed pay-per-views as of late. First it was Breaking Point, where the main events were all either submission matches or I Quit matches. And now WWE has decided to have a Hell In A Cell PPV, where you’re guaranteed multiple HIAC matches in one night. So rather than being this “last

Like the previous PPV, only the top matches are worthy of being held in the Cell, with the rest being the usual matches.

Here’s how out of touch I am with the current WWE product: there was apparently a PPV last night and I had forgotten about it. Oh well, to make up for the lacks of a predictions sheet, here’re the results:

Watched a bit of RAW and… well… I couldn’t stay awake Monday – the show bored me to a point where I actually felt like going to bed much earlier. I think that takes some effort when a show actually puts me to sleep and trust me when I say I usually have a hard time getting myself into sleep central.

So if RAW has anything to celebrate, it’ll probably be that. Because the ratings (from what I’ve heard) won’t be the source of joy this week.

I had PPV predictions to post, but shit happens and you know…

So anyway, here’re the results of the show if you haven’t seen it yet:

I guess if you try hard enough, you’d eventually make it back to the wrestling ring one more time and reclaim your own title. In that respect, welcome back, Michael Buffer.

Oh yeah, Cena’s back too.

Let me be honest with you. I haven’t been following Smackdown that much as of late. All the stupid gimmicks and brain-twisting illogics behind the booking makes ECW look inept, not to mention the shows have been getting progressively worse. However, there were a couple of matches worth watching, so I thought “To hell with it. If it ends up being a good show, great. If it ends up being a stinker, then at least it makes up for missing the ECW PPV.”

My first thought on Armageddon when the show was over? It was a good show for once. Something Smackdown has been lacking as of late, but enough about that. Let’s get on with the matches.

New Year’s Revolution… sucked. I mean, seriously, it was a really crappy PPV. To its credit, it’s not the worst, but that doesn’t mean shit because the show was plain bad. Let’s see what matches we have today.
