I wasn't aware that WWE Network didn't get the live shows, so I wound up watching Raw streaming on some sleazy looking website. I mostly only tuned in because of the whole Mick Foley is debuting a new championship thing. I was really expecting them to try and unify the World/Universal belts or introduce like a TV title or something. Then Mick started talking and EVERYONE thought it was going to be the hardcore title... but no, it's just a 24/7 belt to be used as a comedic bit. Crowd booed like crazy when he revealed it wasn't the Hardcore Championship.
So I think I won't be keeping a subscription to WWE Network knowing that I still need Hulu to watch Raw and Smackdown, since WWE Network gets the episodes staggered like a month and a half back. If I can't watch the weekly stuff live, I don't think I'm going to pay $10/month just to watch 1 event a month. I'm certainly not going to subscribe to cable or Hulu Live TV because that shit costs way too damned much for something I'd only use to watch wrestling.

Holy hell that belt is atrocious... I just saw. And they bring back Mick Foley for that?
I think the only real appropriate reaction here is to just move along and don’t make eye contact..

Without any modicum of respectability, this title is a full on joke. We'll have title changes during house shows and it'll just overall be a terrible thing and devalue the idea of being a champion.

I watch WWE through mainly 2 dubious sites, but they work really well and get the job done in my opinion.
I watch all their weekly shows including the somewhat ok 205 Live. NXT and NXT UK are their strongest stuff, mainly because Vince isn't involved.
I don't understand how it's totally cool that Lesnar won the MITB match, and there was no backlash storyline-wise. Remember the first MITB women's match, and because of how Carmella initially won it, they did a rematch? Guess you can't expect that sorta reaction since it's Brock, he's lazy, and he probably would've been taken out like Big Show was in a previous MITB, laid out underneath a bunch of ladders. Can't have Brock looking weak unless it's someone like Roman Reigns facing him lol
That 24/7 championship is interesting, but so far there's no substance to it. At least the Hardcore championship they had some decent matches. This just looks like whoever has the belt is going to hide and run in the backstage area worse than Crash ever did.
Well, I'm looking forward to next week's TakeOver XXV. Not sure how well that Super ShowDown the week after is gonna be, but Goldberg vs. Undertaker might be pretty bad. Maybe next WrestleMania we'll finally see Taker vs. Sting. But I have doubts they'll ever pull that trigger, especially considering what happened with Sting. They're not getting any younger lol

Honestly when I saw him really was expecting to see the Hardcore Championship and damn I was so excited about that but as always ...
... just hope that they don't give that title to Zayn cause at this date am still waiting to see Sami wearing a belt :'(
