Big Show came out in response to John Cena and lost his shit.
Chris Jericho came out, attacked Randy Orton and lost his shit.
At the end of the show, the entire locker room lost its collective shit as the show descended into anarchy.
Thermodynamics are based on the theory that order takes an immense amount of energy to maintain, with entropy, or the natural breaking down of bonds, is the natural state of things. There is an immense amount of energy that is keeping this world stitched together, which is why the breaking of the bond inside a simple hydrogen atom can create such an enormous blast that could wipe out all the standing structures in the area. That's what tonight's RAW was to me. It was the unraveling of all the bonds in WWE plunging the company into a state of disarray. Down is up. Up is left. Cabernet sauvignon is fortified wine in a can. DOGS AND CATS LIVING TOGETHER. Okay, maybe it's not that extreme.
As with the destruction of the bonds between the atoms can unleash an immolating energy, some of that entropy hurt the show. Too many recaps again, too many mid-match commercial breaks, too much Jinder Mahal. Oh, and CM Punk carrying on like he has Asperger's syndrome. I get that AJ has shown instability, but like Brandon Stroud noted last week, is that any way to talk to a human being in the realm of regular conversation? That being said, I thought it gave the show a crazy vibe that worked. All of the main stuff worked. The main event handicap match was REALLY good. The punch that ended the show? Epic.
For those looking for a normal wrestling show tonight, I think they might have been disappointed. For me though, I think I sniffed out a theme from the beginning, and whether accidental or not, it made the show work for me. The only thing that would've made it better? If someone bought a #TheWrestlingBlog sign... oh wait, they did:

That's TWB superfan and one of my oldest friends here on the web Jason Swift with his sign. That is fucking awesome. Well, it would've been awesome had WWE not taken it from him. I don't think we'd have seen it anyway because he was on the hard camera side, but it's the thought that counts. Hopefully, this is the start of a trend WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE.
