Ergh that Goldberg segment....
I really want to like it, but my primary feelings are that nobody really came out of it looking good.
On the one hand Rusev was made to look like a chump by Goldberg no-selling his attack, and then taking one knee and going limp as a wet flannel and getting jackhammered.
On the other Goldberg looked a bit like he nearly died trying to lift Rusev, and the spear to Heyman didn't look great either.

Yeah, Rusev is fantastic, but I suspect he is destined to be a jobber to the stars. Or just a jobber.
And yeah, agree RE: Crews as well. He's dead in the water, but I think that was always on the cards. As Solomonster remarked ages ago, his smiling happy face gimmick just totally sucks, and nobody gets behind it. He doesn't have the personality or charisma (or at least hasn't shown either of these things) to really make himself a star on the main roster. Not sure if it's his fault or the writers', but he's going nowhere and getting there fast at the moment.

Smackdown has been the better show for me, so I'm genuinely surprised that they couldn't find anything for Crews to do.
It just annoys me so much that Strauman gets protected and pushed while Rusev is messed around with. That's purely from a wrestling point of view as well.

I'd be surprised if the Smackdown writers don't eventually find something for Crews to do. Definitely think he was brought up way too soon though. Half the NXT roster was more ready to head up than he was.
Have enjoyed the Strauman storyline on Raw TBH, one of the few things I think they're really getting right.

Strowman is going ok for now I think. The problem is that squashing jobbers does very little to build you up beyond a certain point. I guess he has now moved on to squashing Sami Zayn, but Zayn is basically just a glorified enhancement talent himself at the moment. He's another who has effectively been wasted since he was brought up too come to think of it.
So far as the cruiserweights are concerned I think they really need to find a way to breath new life into them, already. The problem with having them just wrestling each other repeatedly, and changing all of the ring ropes to purple and what have you every time they appear certainly does help emphasise that they are different, but I wonder if this might actually be beginning to have a negative effect. It almost feels like they aren't part of RAW at all, and are just a novelty act which is tacked on to the show. Need to do away with the purple ropes and actually have them face a non-cruiserweight every now and again. It also doesn't help that the Cruiserweight title itself looks like something that was designed using clip art/MS paint.

I don't get how this show would work. Would the matches be taped on the Raw preshow like Superstars and the other show? but the whole thing has had poor execution from the start. They really should have just had Kota Ibushi win the trophy, debut the belt the next raw, and have Neville or Gargano or Sami Zayn (!) establish themselves as the champ, but you know, they didn't beat Ibushi, and bam there's your Wrestlemania match. instead they might not even make Wrestlemania, and we'll get the Big Show vs Shaq
Unfortunately this goes against my dream of him going to Raw and teaming up with Owens again and them killing everyone (as a stable, he would actually team with Y2J or someone). of course, this would mean booking their champion as something other than a loser, so
