"Everyone I don't like is a troll, and when they refer to someone else I also don't like, they're a troll, and the only reason they brought it up is to troll" - Wow.

[@johnrigs6540]

Sensational Raw. Jam packed with terrific build up for most of the main storylines heading into Mania I think the only problem with this entire build up is that The Rock is just completely dominating everyone he is in the ring with. His presence is so powerful that he feels like a force of nature when he heads to the ring. So Cody Seth and Roman just seem small and almost insignificant standing there next to him. Especially Roman. Who has quickly gone from HIM being WWE’s record breaking,legendary, unbeatable “Final Boss” …. to him now just looking like a sidekick to the REAL Final Boss. At least years back,Cena absolutely looked like The Rocks equal - unlike the guys out there today. It also definitely feels like Rock Cody is the real unmissable story here. So hopefully,when Cody finally wins the Title, we can get Duane back to do a one on one program with Cody before starting on his year long build up to his long awaited showdown with his cousin at 41. And at that time, Roman will likely be CHEERED because The Rock has been such a monster Heel. Great stuff from WWE - they really are on fire right now.

Bully Rock: "look at Little Rhodes junior, gonna cry?"

[@ABCDyeahyeahyeah]

Plot twist, Rock has been infected by the Venom symbiote. Next time on Raw in Brooklyn, we will see Rock dancing down the streets to “Drive your funky soul”.

These goofs constantly miss the point and the mark. Hilarious how overly bias they are with anything involving Punk.

[@stranger21077]

dave really hates punk 😂

[@owatolemutumbo4422]

I agree Bryan and Dave. Wwe is missing so much, they will never be successful. Haven’t they ever heard of will oceanspray? Or what about adam copeland? christian cage? LUCHASAURUS?!?!? Good luck wwe, you’ll need it.

Compelling wrestling on TV must be weird for you guys to watch…. It is what it is… A very entertaining segment perfectly done on a wrestling show

[@megatinmand5524]

They literally said it was immensely compelling, your comment make no sense because you don't think for yourself you just regurgitate

[@hamilstarr4292]

Just pointing out the double standard… The times AEW can do good tv it’s “amazing” but when WWE does an amazing segment it’s seems to be not put over & “Buried”. Just tired of hypocrisy in wrestling “journalism”. It’s like WWE is their ex girlfriend they’re jealous is in a better relationship than them

[@Morganj27]

​@@hamilstarr4292He gave the segment its props. What more do you want from them?

[@IAmHeartbreak_]

No Dave... they don't script Drew, Seth or CM Punk. They get bulletpoints & freedom to talk. We all know that

[@questionthemark4982]

All you wrestling "Journalists" and Podcasters are insufferable. Unsubscribed from all of them.

One of the best raws in like 15 years man wrestling is back ladies and gentlemen

"I listen to the Drive Thru and the Experience"

[@benespinosa6725]

LMAO bryan glossing over punk mentioning jim cornette's podcasts why so salty bryan isn't it because Jim's podcasts have more listeners than yours lol.

[@JohnRigby5011]

So brutal that if this brawl was in the Tokyo Dome Dave would give it 7 stars
