If Shinsuke Nakamura was in NJPW, he would be the best in the world.
 
The Presence he had in NJPW was really Out of this World & the ordinary for sure! Want him back in Japan personally! :) #YeaOh #KingOfStrongStyle

Raw was better than most weeks. Kurt Angle Vs Drew McIntyre was very good.
There was nothing on Monday Night Bore/Snore worth to be seen! Rematches galore that didn’t accomplish anything, Jax/Tamina being pushed over a Ember Moon & an Old Kurt Angle being put in the Main Event in 2018 is a No to me!
Only Positive of an Thumbs Down Show: McIntyre looked Good & Elias as a Face seems to work pretty well
 
JDfromNY’s Review from this Weeks RAW was completly Spot on heh! :)

I can’t help but wonder if that’s why he left. He knew he was no longer at the top of the card.
 
I mean he’s not in WWE either, but he’s still paid a hell of a lot more.

Some people like the ego boost that comes of winning all the time, and fans generally respect them more (bloody marks). I’ve mentioned several times how being a jobber to the stars seems a great career though, I remember a quote from the Honky Tonk Man about how much he loved Hogan’s leg drop, because taking it made him rich.
 
Getting out and going to another promotion without putting anyone over feels like a dick move though. It maintains your value at the expense of your promotion, so it’s a little unprofessional, especially if they put you at the top of the card. Shinsuke almost certainly knew that jobbing out before he left would hurt his chances in the WWE.

Braun’s injured apparently, knees are shot. Smarter people than me have suggested that Braun will likely just throw around a few power slams and growl a lot for the next two months, so they can keep him on TV while healing him up for Royal Rumble.

Remember, Braun’s very inexperienced and a little over enthusiastic. Corbin’s also not been in multiple triple threats and other complicated matches, which tend to kick your ass.
 
As an aside, I love Constable Corbin. I think he’s a great character, and he’s had some pretty good matches too. Baron Corbin ranged from boring to laughable to me, so props to him for his reinvention.

Corbin is actually in his best in Multimen and Gimmick matches , like His Tag Team with Rhyno, Chairs match with Kalisto and triple threat match with Dillenger and AJ
 
His problem is that he doesn’t really know how to make the “in Between” to be interesting , like he does memorable big spots but in between those spots he doesn’t seem to know how to fill those in
 
It’s why most were disappointed when his match with Dean at WM32 was a normal match, most saw accurately that those two would work best in a LMS match or Falls count anywhere

It was Fine, would’ve been a Awesome Match in 2012 when Angle wasn’t that banged Up. Now seeing Kurt working in Slow Pace is pretty Sad to watch honestly. :o
 
Like I said, good Thing was that McIntyre got something out of it atleast! :)

CM Punk has been Absent from the Wrestling World for almost 5 Years, yet still WWE Arenas especially are being haunted by CM Punk Chants, it’s pretty Interesting to say the Least!
 
Arguably the Greatest Complete Package of an Era/Generation! :)

Apparently Braun’s also a little obnoxious backstage, and has a habit of leaving early and arriving late. Not to Shaun Michaels levels, but management are questioning if his work ethic and judgement are up to the task of being the face of the company.
 
I hope he learns to be a little more aware of how he comes across to others. It would be a shame if he holds his career back by getting himself too much heat backstage. Shades of (ironically) Drew McIntyre, who has admitted his first WWE run spluttered out after a great start because he was a dickhead who drunk too much.

From all the reports I heard, Drew’s first few years on WWE were gonna be big for him, then the reports came in that his wife was physically abusing him, and then his push sort of fizzled out because that apparently made him come across as “weak” to some people.

He might be reinventing events himself, but his take was he was partying too much, drinking too much, and he made a lot of bad decisions.
 
In a lot of domestic abuse situations there’s alcohol and drug abuse on both sides. Battering your boyfriend with a frying pan because he was out late with his friends is still abuse, despite what a hundred shitty comedies might tell you.

Well I’ll extoll the truth of puntuality to you now. I make a point turning up ten minutes early and leaving ten minutes late, in a team based enviroment it builds you immense goodwill with everyone around you. I have worked with people who get to work ten minutes late and leave ten minutes early, and people talk behind their backs about what self centered assholes they are.
 
I guarantee you could get there an hour early, and John Cena and Triple H would already be in costume.
 
It’s especially true in an entertainment business. You need to be made up, dressed, made familar with the script and onstage now, and if you’re still picking up your chicken wings at KFC on the company’s time EVERYONE you’re holding up is going to hold a grudge.
 
The rest of it is a little more arcane, but I bet you it’s not much different from something you could read in your standard guide to communicating in the workplace. Again, I guarantee you Triple H has several memorised.

I am pretty sure Strowman spent most of his life as an adult as a Strongman and had a Mechanic career, neither really team based.
 
For you who had a career in team based business it may seem as Common sense but for him he may simply not have known how much it would effect his coworkers
