    This is like a classic NWO invasion. Love it!

    Booker T: "I've never seen anything like this in my 26 years!"

    Umm ... remember Rey Mysterio getting torpedoed into that trailer at Disney?

    Yeah. You'd think he'd remember those NWO beatdowns, especially when he was on the receiving end of a couple of them.

    Great ending to the show, though. They're actually making me care a little bit about Raw vs. Smackdown.

    They need to have another Smackdown beat down, but then Braun comes out and destroys all of them. Crowd would go nuts.

    That welt on Jordan's arm didn't look too good.

    There are not enough curse words or caps letters for me to express how I feel about Finn Balor getting buried by the 50 year old mayor of fcking tennessee.

    What the fuck

    Kayfabe question of the week, where were the 5 guys Kurt was gonna bring out and why couldnt they take Mojo freakin Rawley

    (Logic be damned it was still a cool segment. Well filmed nicely put together)

    The marauding Smackdowners reminded me of a more violent version of Adam Rose's party posse.
    If only Miz hadn't thrown Braun Strowman in that garbage truck, it might have turned out different.

    I'd say the three Shield guys, Braun, who wasn't there, and either Balor or himself.

    They'd play it as the "Can Kurt and the Shield trust Braun Strohman?"

    There are holes with the story though. Are the SD guys all heel now? Why are guys like Ziggler and Roode teaming up? Why would Corbin do what Shane wants?

    Lastly, what do you win if your brand wins? Bragging rights? Who cares about that?

    Soooooo. Dumb. Intra-WWE invasion angles are played out, especially when there is no established brand pride.

    At least they had the common sense to keep KO and Zayn out of it.

    There's no pride because they shake up both brands at least once a year anyway.

    That's the kind of thing that leads to stupid shit like, say, Steve Austin, Kurt Angle and Shane McMahon fighting for WCW and ECW's future.
