LOTS OF BAD FEEDBACK TO LAST WEEK’S RAW AND MORE

After watching the last Raw of 2014 and noting what happened for most of the show (with particular emphasis on the ending), I'm tempted to ask if there is any kind of motivation at all for the Average Wrestling Fan to even consider following WWE programming in 2015. Your thoughts.

I have heard from a lot of people that feel as you do and I don’t have the answer, only the “average fan” does. But as I type this on Sunday, ratings have been going way down of late. Vince will probably say it was due to The Authority not being on TV, but I think the issue is bigger than that.

So Brock Lesnar, the absentee WWE champion, makes a mockery of his butt-kicking persona by apparently joining the New  Authority.  Please tell me I didn't just watch that awful ending on last night's Raw. Isn't it obvious that WWE in general and Vince McMahon in particular have lost the plot eons ago? 

I wish I could tell you that. But you saw it, and yeah it makes no sense for Brock to align himself with someone whose primary motivation is to use a briefcase to take his title. I hope the new year brings a new direction in WWE.

Was that the lamest ending for Raw ever, with Rollins forcing Cena to bring back the Authority or he was going to paralyze Edge? I mean really like they were going to let Rollins paralyze somebody on live TV.  That was just stupid. What are your opinions?

I hated it as much as you did. I get that we have to allow them poetic license and all, but they are not “Breaking Bad”. They are a company that is putting on a pseudo-sport and there has to be some sort of line of what legalities that they can’t cross.

So Bray Wyatt sets Luke Harper and Erick Rowan free. Harper joins Team Authority and gets an IC title run. Not too bad. Rowan, on the other hand, joins Team Cena, with no explanation. He then gets dominated by Big Show. Then he faces and loses to his old master on Raw, again with no explanation or build-up. Did Rowan spill Vince's coffee or something?

The only explanation is that Vince thinks that Rowan is Swiss.

Any chance Brian Pillman will make it to the Hall of Fame?

I could see it happening down the road.
