    Aww man, Solo staring at the Lei before looking at Roman. Roman catching him and going into thought. Ultra Paranoid mob boss Roman about to be here in full swing.

    We were just commenting that the best part of the Bloodline stuff is Paul Heyman. His reactions and bootlicking is so fun.

      Paul is a treasure with whoever he’s paired with. Roman is so much more calculating than everyone else he’s managed. He’s such a user/leech but you can feel the fear and admiration he has for Roman.

    I hate the WWE booking philosophy of just honeydicking whoever gets over without permission almost winning consistently until their heat dies.

    I was a huge Ziggler fan back in 2013 but he just never won anything so why should I continue caring.

    Starting the show late but alot of this seems skippable.

    Might check out the RoH card at some point as well. The definitely have a few interesting matches but there is just so much free wrestling much less PPV wrestling.

      A good chunk of each show lately has been recaps from both the week before and the other show, it’s starting to come across as lazy tv.
