This would hurt Natalya a lot more if she had a neck.

- Be sure you’re reading With Leather’s This Week In Horrible-Looking People every Monday. It’s wrestling related, and way more palatable than these dense-ass paragraphs.

- We start shooting Meet Me There this weekend (Jill Thompson is going to be at my house, holy crap), so thank you again to everyone who reads the column, contributed to our IndieGogo fundraiser and made that possible.

So hey, please click through to enjoy the Best and Worst of WWE Raw for May 6, 2013. I wouldn’t give it a zero.

- The biggest-ever thank you goes out to everyone who helped make our Meet Me There fundraiser a success. We raised over $6,000 (!!), which will go very far toward making it the best movie we can make it. Thank you, and you are my friend from now until whenever you wanna stop. We’re shooting in May, so I’ll be socially AWOL for most of it, but it shouldn’t mess with the column at all. Go like the movie on Facebook and keep up with us!

And now, with 100% fewer helicopter entrances, it’s the Best and Worst of WWE Raw for April 29, 2013.

Pre-show notes:

- Things you should read from the last week of posts at The Mandible Claw include the thing I wrote about Donald Trump’s “appearance” on the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling and an hour of me and Danielle talking to ACW and National Pro Wrestling Day star Jojo Bravo. Also, everything else on the site. You should check it out daily.

- Comments, shares, likes, and anything else that gets people to come here are appreciated. There’s some important stuff on the next page, so be sure not to skim it, and to make everyone you know on the Internet and in real life read it. Also, the jokes.

- Comments, clicking the like button, Twitter shares and whatever else you can do to share this with people on the computer are appreciated. You’re probably tired of me shilling this idea to you, and if you are, you probably aren’t reading this anyway. I get paid based on how often you do that, so help a brother out.

- Thanks to Casey, whose excellent GIFs make their return to the column. They’re pretty epic this week, so make sure your comments below include a brief “thanks for taking time out of your day to help Brandon with this, THESTINGER”.

- If you’re the type who only reads this column and doesn’t keep up with With Leather, be sure to check out our Golden Treasury Of Cheesy Late-80s Early-90s WWF Promo Photos. It’s even better than it sounds.

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

- Also, don’t forget, the With Leather Pro Wrestling Community is having its first get-together at Chikara’s King Of Trios 2012 in Easton, Pennsylvania, so if you’re anywhere in the area or are coming in for the show, let us know so we can high-five you. It’s going to be a grand time. I bought my plane tickets yesterday. It’s on.

Please enjoy the Best and Worst of WWE Raw for August 28, 2012. Stick around for a live report at the end.

- Comments, likes, Googles and Webcrawler + shares appreciated. I wouldn’t be posting my thoughts on the show if I didn’t want to hear yours. Also I wouldn’t post it if I didn’t want you to tell me how great I am over and over.

- Be sure to come back to the site tonight for the Raw Open Discussion Thread, as well as tomorrow for the Best And Worst Of WWE Raw 2/20/12 report. The Rock will be there, probably!
