STONE COLD CALLS WRESTLEMANIA 13

“I’m laying in a pool of blood. This is the greatest feeling in the world."

You might read that quote and be unsettled, maybe even concerned for the individual who spoke it.

THE RAW REVIEW (10/20/14)

Monday Night Raw was incredibly strong this week (and emotionally moving, upon reflection), reinforcing a solid narrative foundation for the upcoming Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.

This was the show fans, and especially the two top-stories, needed. If the WWE was hoping to create incentive for people to purchase the Network, and also get fans more invested in the "double-main-event" then the WWE has succeeded.
