<p>I saw gifs of Sasha kicking Paige in the upper back and Bayley doing the same spot at the previous night's house show. Everyone is claiming Sasha's was much harder and reckless (so she's to blame) but despite the low quality and small size of the gifs they looked similar enough to me. Only after Sasha's kick, Paige was wiggling her right arm which appeared to me numb. Both were (reportedly) planned spots. Reminds me of Bryan when he got injured on Raw against Orton.</p><p> </p><p>

Clearly Paige, the other women and doctors thought she was in better shape than she actually was. I know from personal experience that wear and tear injuries sometimes never go away completely. Wrestling is dangerous enough for a completely healthy wrestler with no injury history or a decade+ of wear and tear. Paige took the risk and unfortunately the outcome was worst case. I feel sorry for her but wish people would lay off Sasha.</p>

The whole situation sucks and it's sad, especially now that she was making her comeback. But it's wrestling, and not ballet. Everyone knows the risks and Sasha obviously didn't do it on purpose, though some fans will naturally vent on her until they get used to the idea. Eventually that heat will blow off, I think. But it's really a shame, as Paige is still young and could have done so many great things. Part of me still hopes this report is blown out of proportions, but with major news outlets reporting it already, it seems pretty obvious that the news is real.

Most importantly, the curb stomp is back! <img alt=":eek:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Finally the Curb Stomp has come back home! <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I love how Kurt was distraught from Braun trashing his office and Jordan didn't give a crap and took advantage to book Rollins in a match so he could interfere and help him win. Then Rollins hit the sweet Blackout to win. Reigns and Ambrose are too busy so I can see Jordan seducing Rollins to the dark side for a while until they bust-up and fight at Wrestlemania.

 

Who I want to win the Royal Rumbles: Nakamura and Asuka

 

Who should win the Triple Threat: BRAUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, I would not mind if he pinned Kane to win the title then dropped the title to Reigns or Lesnar at Elimination Chamber. Just give the man a damn title!

Haven't seen RAW lately but I reckon the chances of those two winning are very small. I've been mostly spoiler-free for the rumble I hope (I heard of one women's entry unfortunately) so I'm excited and will most likely renew my subscription after a month of absence, even if it's just for the Rumble.

It was a poorly scripted sometimes fun notsalgic clusterfork. Perfect for watching when you have a fast-forward button handy <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I enjoyed Raw honestly. Lots of nostalgia obviously, but they still built towards the Rumble. It’s rare they’re able to juggle both.

 


Plus, I hung out with X-Pac Saturday night, so him being on Raw two days later was pretty cool.

 


Also, I bet X-Pac goes into the Hall of Fame this year.
