Pre-show notes:

- Comments, shares, likes, Reddit submissions and up arrows (or whatever) and the like are appreciated. Pay-per-view Bests and Worsts usually don’t get as much play as the Raw column, and I’ve never understood it. These are the shows where stuff happens!

- I apologize for the weird execution of the TLC live thread. Some combination of jet lag and the sad stuff that happened over the weekend got me mixed up, and I didn’t get it up and ready like I should’ve. It won’t happen again.

So yeah, please click through and enjoy the Best And Worst Of WWE TLC 2012. Spoiler alert: Nobody gets a red light special.

Tonight, on the WWE Raw Open Discussion Thread:

It’s all about The Shield these days after the black-clad attackers from Survivor Series revealed their (vague) motives in an interview with Michael Cole last week on Raw. The NXT trio declared themselves to be protectors of justice, but even as they insist they’re not on Paul Heyman’s payroll, the skeptics remain unconvinced. Elsewhere, Team Hell No reached a fork in the road, and as it turns out, John Cena does kind of like like AJ Lee. Hard to blame him, all things considered. Here’s the five-point preview for this week’s must-see Raw. (via WWE.com)

You know that when WWE.com is using (vague) as a modifier, you haven’t put enough effort into writing your show. Anyway, here’s your five-point preview:

Pre-show notes:

- Comments, shares, likes, what-have-you are deeply appreciated. I throw a commenting badge on every single one of these, but I’d like to just write to a community that doesn’t mind helping out and clicking a few buttons. Also, I’d run out of badges, and nobody’s going to click like for a ROMAN REIGNS’ COOL JACKET badge.

- Chikara’s season finale ‘Under The Hood’ is airing on iPPV this weekend, and if you’re any kind of Wrestling Bro, you’ll order and watch it. It’s only $17 bucks, and you can watch it as much as you want. I guarantee you that ACH vs. Mr. Touchdown will justify a show worth three times as much.

"I'M BORED, I DON'T KNOW WHO ANY OF THESE GUYS ARE" -- all of your friends

Tonight, on the WWE Raw Open Discussion Thread:

The WWE Universe is buzzing about the recent brutal assaults by the WWE NXT trio of Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. But just as the group’s actions have caused an air of uncertainty in WWE, CM Punk continues to close in on Randy “Macho Man” Savage’s 371-day reign as WWE Champion. With the final month of 2012 looming, here are five reasons Raw is must-see this Monday at 8/7 CT on USA Network. (via WWE.com)

1. WWE.com is advertising an “exclusive interview with Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns,” and all I can think of is, “whew, thank goodness Jeremy Borash didn’t beat them to it!” Hopefully this interview will be Dean Ambrose insulting Mick Foley for ruining wrestling, in a promo style aping nobody more than ECW-era Mick Foley. Also, I am hopeful that Seth Rollins never talks, and is content to just Small Package Driver folks for his paycheck*.

Pre-show editor’s notes:

- Brandon here. This is one of the cooler things I’ve gotten to do so far as the EIC (or COO, whatever) of With Leather. Soupy’s doing me a great favor by stepping in and covering the Best And Worst Of Survivor Series, so show him the most ever love so he’ll consider coming back.

- Follow us on Twitter @withleather, follow me personally @MrBrandonStroud and like us on Facebook. Follow Dan at @headabovewater and The Wonder Years at @twypoppunk . I put those links at the end because he’s already got a billion more followers than me.

- If you’re new here and just stopping by to read the guy from your favorite band’s wrestling column, consider stopping back by on Mondays and occasional Sundays for our open discussion threads, and on Tuesdays for the Best And Worst Of Raw. It got a shout-out at a TWY concert, so it is band-approved.

For further proof of street cred, here are two guys who dressed up as Daniel Bryan for Halloween:
