Ambrose is on his honeymoon right now.

So it looks like Matt got the rights to the Broken gimmick?

I heard Elias got the crowd to chant for Roman.

If that's true, damn is Elias a good heel.

Arn Anderson still got it.

It's too bad Asuka and Matt Hardy aren't on Smackdown. Then I would never have need to watch Raw. I could just watch the Triumvirate of cool WWE talent punctuated by Breezango and "WHAT'S UP, _____?" at the start of shows.

Roman is legit over. Joe attacked him and there was no cheers whatsoever. No "thank you joe", no cheering, nothing. It was great.

Feels good being a Roman fan, plus he pisses off smark morons so it's doubly good being a Roman fan.

The Shield reuniting helps more than anything else.

Anyway, the ppv lineup for 2018 has been released.

* Royal Rumble: 1.28.18 in Philadelphia, Pa
* Elimination Chamber (Raw): 2.25.18 in Las Vegas, Nv
* Fast Lane (SD): 3.11.18 in Columbus, Oh
* WrestleMania 34: 4.08.18 in New Orleans, La
* Backlash (Raw): 5.06.18 in Newark, NJ
* Payback (SD): 5.27.18 in Baltimore, MD
* Money in The Bank: 6.17.18 in Chicago, IL
* Battleground (Raw): 7.15.18 in Pittsburgh, Pa
* Summerslam: 8.19.18 in Brooklyn, NY
* Extreme Rules (Raw): 9.16.18 in San Antonio, Tx
* Hell in a Cell (SD): 9.30.18 in Nashville, TN
* WWE TLC (Raw): 10.21.18 in Boston, Ma
* Survivor Series: 11.18.18 in Loa Angeles, Ca
* Clash of Champions (SD): 12.16.18 in San Jose, Ca

Notable things...
- Raw and SD are switching ppvs, at least up to Battleground (Otherwise, Raw keeps Extreme Rules and TLC while SD keeps Clash and HiaC)
- Money in the Bank will now be a co-brand ppv
- Great Balls of Fire is one and done. Also No Mercy is gone again after two ppvs.
---

Are you kidding me?

We're getting Battleground for the second year in the row? God help me.
---

But it'll be Raw superstars this ti- ah screw it, nothing can save this ppv ever.
---

Battleground will always have a special place in my heart because the 2015 show was the last WWE main roster product I watched and probably will ever watch.
---

I was mistaken actually. We got Roadblock. I just get all of these brand exclusive PPVs mixed up. Still, can we at least get a Smackdown PPV instead?

Otherwise I need to convince my friends to go to Columbus.
---

We don't get many ppvs in North Carolina either. Just from what I've seen on Wikipedia...

Unforgiven 1998
Unforgiven 1999
King of the Ring 1999
SummerSlam 2000
Survivor Series 2001
Judgment Day 2003
Vengeance 2006
No Mercy 2006
Over the Limit 2012

Most of the ppvs have been complete ass except SummerSlam and Survivor Series.
---

That's Roadblock End of the Line to you.

Yeah for being HOME TO RIC FLAIR

Greensboro/Charlotte/Raleigh get surprisingly few events

And looking at that list, only ONE WWE ppv was in NC that featured Ric Flair, which was Vengeance. The good news? Flair defeated Foley in a 2/3 falls match. The bad news? Flair won 2-0 with a fluke rollup and then by DQ when Foley decided to straight up beat the shit out of Flair with a trashcan.

WCW ppvs in North Carolina on the other hand...

Every Fall Brawl from 1995 to 1999
Slamboree 1997
Starrcade 83 through 86, and also 1993
SuperBrawl III
Great American Bash 1985

...not that WCW did a better job of booking Flair any better in his home state. If Nitro was in NC, usually Bischoff went out of his way to make sure the night ended with Flair getting humiliated in some way, shape, or form while the nWo stood victorious.

So that's where Vince learned this shit policy.

Well, at least I get to see three of the five new callups in action.

Charlotte and Nattie can idiot proof things, but here's hoping Naomi has better chemistry with them than Alicia Fox.

God, that was bad.
---

I love the BB's video game theme music
---

Sounds like doom metal. It fits perfectly.
---

I don't know what hurt worse, the second Singh ragdoll sell off the Khallas, or hearing Morgan and Logan speak.
---

Big E with Sasha's merch is hilarious
---

So, no DQ for all that? Alrighty then...
---

Beat this dead horse so we can get out of here!
---

I really hope Zayn just points out that he was never at ringside. He was clearly on the ramp and in the entrance, he never got near the ring.
---

I wish a No DQ match would have more than chairs, tables, steps, kendo sticks, and such. The reason I liked New Day/Usos in HIAC was they actually tried to be...what's the word...CREATIVE!

I'll take a godamn toolbox with a wrench for god sake. Just something new.
---

I wanted to see them start using the kendo sticks like they were swords.
---

Drew Gulak getting chants two weeks in a row is almost enough for me to keep the WWE Network.
---

205 is my favorite show I think

Next to Fashion Files, of course

A question from a WWE poll about why you dont watch 205 Live

Which answers would you pick!
---

Man, 205 Live is the only WWE show I watch now! Too much other TV going on Mondays and Tuesdays that are far better than WWE. I catch everything else on Youtube now.

In other news, FloSlam is dead now.
---

I kept saying 205 Live was the best WWE show right now, even better than NXT.

I was right all along.
---

They need to put really good stuff on RAW before people watch 205 Live. It's really the easiest solution. Why do they have all of these blow off matches for feuds on the show nobody watches when if they put some of them on RAW they'd get people interested to see more of the guys? I mean, Drew Gulak is finally getting over by sheer force of will. Put his Powerpoint Presentation stuff on RAW! People will get into it!
---

Surely you can see the theory. Get people interested in the blowoff on Raw so then they watch 205 Live to see it.

That just doesnt happen mostly because LOL WWE builds
---

But they don't build up anything but the main feud on RAW! They have one segment for the Cruiserweights, and maybe two if they're lucky!

Such a train wreck

Powerbomb.TV is great though! Hopefully they can land some of the indie heavy hitter feds like Flo did

Beyond/WWR and AIW are on there already though so its got great value already
