YEAHHHH

Pre-show notes:

- Please make sure to leave a comment on the report. Facebook likes and Twitter shares are huge. These take forever to write, so if you want me to keep them up instead of just posting Serbian tennis player cheesecake slideshows like a normal popular sports blog should, do your part.

- Thanks to Casey of the WWE Magazine awareness-winning Hammerlock Dialectic for pics and gifs. Two is greater than one, as they say.

- Follow us on Twitter @withleather, follow me personally @MrBrandonStroud and like us on Facebook.

- If you’re the type who listens to podcasts, don’t miss my two latest appearances: as the host of the With Spandex podcast with special guest the lovely Veda Scott or as the special, extremely uncool guest on the Wear The Cheese “Crash Down” podcast about Pokémon. No, seriously. They’re both pretty dorky, so pick your poison. Or pick them both!

Anyway, please enjoy the Best And Worst Of WWE Raw for June 5, 2012. Less about The Troops this week.

Pre-show notes:

- Last stop on the Road to Wrestlemania! Toot toot, etc.

- Don’t be afraid to leave a comment on this report. We’ve build a great community of intelligent, funny wrestling fans and you should be a part of it, because seriously, you aren’t gonna find it anywhere else. Except on maybe whatever report you’ve just stumbled upon and are super into.

- Big thanks again to Casey/THESTINGER for helping me out with gifs and pictures. Be sure to visit his gifs Tumblr for the stuff I didn’t use.

- Follow us on Twitter @withleather, follow me personally @MrBrandonStroud and like us on Facebook.

- If you’re going to be at Wrestlemania this year (or in Miami for Wrestlemania weekend, at least), make sure you let me know so we can find each other and say hi. More on this at the end of the report. If you find me on Sunday and I don’t at least have a mark photo with Stan Hansen, keep me from killing myself.

Please to enjoy the Best and Worst Of WWE Raw for March 26, 2012.

Pre-show notes:

- The With Spandex podcast experienced a few technical difficulties over the weekend, but we’re working through it. Expect that as soon as I grow a brain that isn’t 70 years old and figure out how computers work.

- As always, we’d appreciate it if you’d leave a comment on the report. You left almost 700 on the Open Discussion Thread last night, so I can’t bother you about it too much. If you don’t feel like commenting, click the “like” button up there or share us on Facebook or Google Plus or Pinterest or whatever the new thing is. Take a picture of the column and share it on Instagram, I don’t care.

- Follow us on Twitter @withleather, follow me personally @MrBrandonStroud and like us on Facebook.

- Gifs contained within are, as always, courtesy of Jerusalem at Punchsport Pagoda.

- Unrelated A.J. gif contributed by @ajB_real.

- Additional reading: UGO’s Raw Report.

- I apologize for the relative lateness of today’s column. I had to change a tire, and things got weird.

Anyway, please to enjoy the Best and Worst of WWE Raw: Halloween H20 Edition for January 9, 2012.
