    Short video tribute for Chyna after the women's match, with highlights and some tweets of condolence from some wrestlers.

    Kudos to WWE for doing a montage for Chyna, but I must admit I'm surprised.

    For a ppv I'm pretty excited about that was a big meh of a Raw.

    Nice Chyna vid. Nice vid for Zayn Owens. Rest was largely forgettable.

    So the ratings are in the toilet......my question is, do they blame AJ's main event program and bury him? Shove more McMahon's on TV ASAP and eventually put the belt on Cena?

    Or stay the course?

    I wanna know everyone's take on No Way Jose.

    First, he looks like he's 47.

    Second, he has a dance gimmick like Fandango adjace.

    Third, his signature is a baseball swing punch and his finisher is a pitcher's windup into a punch.

    Is he a dancer or a baseball player? And because he's billed as from the Dominican does any of this come off as racist?

    Lastly, No Way Jose's is the name of a nice little cantina in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I recommend it.

    Ratings are down when story lines have no logic, the Women's Division is now reduced to one feud on the main show, half the featured competitors from WrestleMania are nowhere to be found and their matches had zero lasting consequences, and the main event champ is a guy who is high-fiving Make A Wish Kids while getting booed out of the building?

    You don't say.

    Really, I'm happy the roster is looking so fresh, and I'm intrigued with the matches. But the narratives are a mess.

    Plus, the targeted demographic. What kind of numbers do they expect when the show is geared toward kids who may grow up and grow out of the product within a few years? Is it time for the product to grow up? I've really started watchin NXT again, and the difference is stark. It's not a graphic program, but it doesn't feel juvenile either. Am I way off base with this?

    There's one guy in the main event picture who's being force-fed to fans who hate him and think he's boring, and it ain't AJ.
