[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Will Roman overcome the odds and get the Current Era Grand Slam?

[A.J.K]

Will Roman overcome the odds and get the Current Era Grand Slam?

Rather see miz retain.

[ClockShot]

I approve this thread title!

[ClockShot]

NO MICHAEL COLE?!

I can probably make it through all 3 hours!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Miztourage to attack Roman Reigns with chairs tonight?

[ClockShot]

BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

[Emperor Smeat]

https://i.imgur.com/qJA8l7u.gif

[ClockShot]

But here's Braun. So I might just shut it off early.

[KIRA]

Dean may have to go back Renee Young because Stroman is killing Rollins

[Mr. Nerfect]

Shield vs. Braun, Sheamus & Cesaro at TLC?

[ClockShot]

Hulk Hogan & Macho Man lookalikes in the front row.

How long before Vince wants them moved?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Bray Wyatt vs. Finn Balor in a Tables Match. Miz defending the IC Title against someone in a Ladder Match. Matt Hardy? Isn't Jeff hurt or something? Neville? Finn Balor? Bray? Jason Jordan? A combination? Alexa Bliss vs. Mickie James. Enzo defending the Cruiserweight Title against Rich Swann or something. Eh, that's a card.

[ClockShot]

Take that, Seth.

[Emperor Smeat]

Shield vs. Braun, Sheamus & Cesaro at TLC?

Probably Sheild vs Braun & Miztourage in a handicap match

[Mr. Nerfect]

I can see it, but who really takes the Miztourage seriously? Like, is Roman Reigns going to mix it up with Curtis Axel on PPV?

[KIRA]

Stroman ends his rampage by flashing his boobs

[RP]

Curtis Axel will kick all these dudes asses.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I personally love Curtis Axel, but I realize that he may not exactly have broad appeal.

[ClockShot]

Mickie James?

I forgot she was still around.

[KIRA]

Oh no its time to blow Koman again

[ClockShot]

Little do all these divas know, they're on borrowed time.

[Emperor Smeat]

Nia Jax is friends with Bliss again?

Thought she only cared about Bliss' title.

[Savio]

They were lezzing out.

[GD]

First Piggy James and now “old lady” James :nono:

[KIRA]

This day has been rough but theres ALICIA.....IN RING GEAR...... AND NOT WRESTLING WTF

[slik]

I prefer this RAW team of Tom Phillips/Corey Graves/Booker T. Sorry Michael "Look At This! Oh My" Cole.

[KIRA]

First Piggy James and now “old lady” James :nono:

Right no respect!:nono:

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess all that losing has finally affected Bray's mental well-being.

[KIRA]

Brays power resides in his rocking chair and now its back!

[rez]

Guess all that losing has finally affected Bray's mental well-being.

maybe he will finally realize his destiny - a part of the miztourage.

[KIRA]

I prefer this RAW team of Tom Phillips/Corey Graves/Booker T. Sorry Michael "Look At This! Oh My" Cole.

It flows alot better and doesn't sound like line reads

[slik]

Cesaro should put kinesio tape on his teeth

[Evil Vito]

Elias is excellent

[slik]

If Michael Cole were calling this match "Look At This!"

[KIRA]

Crews getting booed I think his ship has sailed he really needed to stay in NXT for a while

[Mr. Nerfect]

Tom Phillips and Michael Cole should trade places. Cole probably wouldn't mind the reduced schedule.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Apollo Crews needs to discover his inner Neville and just become the asshole that makes him perfect.

[rez]

The flow of RAW tonight seems different..in a good way.

[KIRA]

I'm very surprised Elias wasn't turned into a total jobber after being kicked down to RAW

[rez]

CiCi's Pizza is still in business? yuck

[Mr. Nerfect]

I liked Elias when I first saw him in NXT. Good for him.

[RP]

How long do we ignore how terrible a commentator Booker T is?

[Emperor Smeat]

After seeing that hype video for Asuka, just suddenly realized Asuka already has beaten like half of RAW's Women's division. With Paige and Summer out, that leaves like 3 people left in the division she hasn't beaten yet.

[RP]

OMG i want to be suffocated by Alexa Bliss's butt

[RP]

That ass is extra good tonight

[slik]

I'm amazed Mickie can walk to the ring w/o a walker b/c she is so old

[RP]

It's like she went down a size on her shorts just for me

[RP]

i'm about to jack off in my own face

[slik]

RP might die when Alexa/Mickie rassle

[Emperor Smeat]

If WWE is going to move Neville out of the Cruiser division, last week was the perfect setup for it.

[KIRA]

How long do we ignore how terrible a commentator Booker T is?

Thats why hes so great I wouldn't change a thing

[slik]

Did the crowd just boo Enzo? Did the double-turn work?

[KIRA]

Enzo finally getting the reaction hes deserved for so long

[KIRA]

You all just heard Corey Graves admit to being a NAZI!

[Lock Jaw]

Hi, I'm here.

[Lock Jaw]

oh no

Just in time for a boring tag team match

[KIRA]

Wait why is Matt reverting to his non crazy self

[Evil Vito]

Nice blatant zoom in on Gallows doing the Too Sweet

[Lock Jaw]

Jason Jordan without straps on

Hope he doesn't rip his skin off when he gets fired up

[KIRA]

Dont understand why they didnt just Matt go solo while Jeff is out

[Lock Jaw]

Anderson and Gallows win a match

stop the presses

[Emperor Smeat]

Wait why is Matt reverting to his non crazy self

Maybe someone finally fixed what was slightly broken about him.

[Lock Jaw]

Last week every single member of 205 Live violated Enzo Amore

[KIRA]

bring back the boot of doom

[Lock Jaw]

Why has Charly Caruso joined Right to Censor?

[RP]

The Indianapolis Raw is advertising a Roman Reigns vs Braun Street Fight.

[Emperor Smeat]

If WWE was smart, the pay-off to Enzo saying he has no legal challengers in 205 Live is for Kalisto to challenge him for the belt. Still makes no sense why he's not in the division.

[Lock Jaw]

The Raw houseshow here is also advertising a Reigns vs. Braun street fight.

[KIRA]

I wouldve loved it if Roman had just shrugged and said "beat him up" when asked about his strategy

[RP]

Look at these kayfabe breaking twats!

[Lock Jaw]

Asuka is under that tarp I bet

[Lock Jaw]

Gonna kick everyone in the ring, including the cancer survivors

[RP]

WE GOT 4 WOMENS CHAMPIONS ON RAW!!!!!

[RP]

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT ALEXA BLISS IS NOT THE ONLY CHAMP NOW!!!!!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG

[Emperor Smeat]

They need to work on their Warrior rope shaking skills.

[Lock Jaw]

Asuka is under that tarp I bet

Well, I guess I was wrong

[KIRA]

haha

[KIRA]

They shouldve gone full Shield

[Lock Jaw]

Really hope The Shield doesn't reunite to face Miz and the Miztourage when they have established the past two weeks that Roman Reigns can handle them all by himself.

[Lock Jaw]

Roman winning the title tonight

Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel dead and injured

Miz enraged at losing the title teams up with Braun Strowman and Sheamus to take on The Shield at TLC.

[KIRA]

Actually Miz has the advantage he's still fresh

[Lock Jaw]

He's facing Roman Reigns. He does not have the advantage.

[KIRA]

He's facing Roman Reigns. He does not have the advantage.

I'm like Mulder on the X-files I WANT TO BELIEVE.

[Lock Jaw]

Nice shot of Roman looking like he is contemplating his life while in a chinlock

[Emperor Smeat]

Cesaro & Sheamus would be a huge upgrade as the muscle for a new Miztourage stable.

[KIRA]

Theyre gonna have Roman hold Both belts at once and then find a way to put him in the Womens title picture so he can win that one

[Savio]

Roman Reigns never won the universal title either. Right?

[KIRA]

What does The Bar have against Roman they are being clumsy with this Shield reunion

[KIRA]

Roman Reigns never won the universal title either. Right?

nope

[rez]

screw the channel USA. RAW needs to be 2 hours.

[KIRA]

Miz got his dead fucking serious face on

[Lock Jaw]

Seems odd to have Miz be the middle of the powerbomb

[KIRA]

Shouldve been a triple Ricola bomb

[Emperor Smeat]

Roman Reigns never won the universal title either. Right?

Nope although think him losing to Finn during the inaugural tournament was part of his punishment for failing a Wellness Test. Probably would have been the first champ if he didn't get busted.

[KIRA]

Does that little girl get royalties when they use her voice

[Emperor Smeat]

The booking of the Bray-Balor feud has been really weird in terms of pacing.

They ended up doing the re-debut of the DEMON too early instead of being the big payoff or ender for the feud. Then somehow went backwards with matches by going Man vs Man next. Same for Bray's promos going backwards in terms of importance.

[Lock Jaw]

"At Summerslam you lost to the Demon! At No Mercy you lost to the Man! At TLC you will lose to the Woman! *puts on a wig*"

[Lock Jaw]

I think if I was a kid that would have traumatized me

[GD]

What in the world? Abigail :eek:

[KIRA]

Telling you guys brays chair

[Dark One]

Abigail is Asukagail and is going to murder Finn Balor on her way to challenging Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at Wrestlemania.

[Lock Jaw]

Abigail is Summer Rae

[KIRA]

Abigail is Asukagail and is going to murder Finn Balor on her way to challenging Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at Wrestlemania.

After she tears through Brock like wet tissue just for laughs she is going to eviscerate BRUAN

[Lock Jaw]

No, Phillips, you are supposed to yell "IT'S BOSS TIME!!!!!" at the top of your lungs

[KIRA]

You are ALL dead women walking

[Lock Jaw]

Alicia Fox gonna wrestle?!

[Lock Jaw]

KIRA, get ready

[KIRA]

:heart::love:KIRA, get ready

[Emperor Smeat]

Sasha is like 1-2 inches too short to do the Bayley boob bounce from the ropes.

:eek: Alicia having 2 appearances on RAW this week.

[KIRA]

Easily the most underrated women on the roster fix this INJUSTICE!

[KIRA]

Im trying to hold back my tears

[Lock Jaw]

Emma going through tag team partners

What if she brings up Billie Kay and Peyton Royce to form Super-Aussie stable (to get murdered by Asuka)

[Lock Jaw]

Bayley is Bayleying Up!

[KIRA]

Burn by Graves

[DAMN iNATOR]

Always get nervous when Sasha and Bayley team up...hope Sasha does not turn heel on her tonight.

[rez]

blah blha blah

[KIRA]

Emma going through tag team partners

What if she brings up Billie Kay and Peyton Royce to form Super-Aussie stable (to get murdered by Asuka)

Asuka is the walking embodiment of pain and suffering your place of origin is only relevant as information to notify next of kin

[Lock Jaw]

Bayley should be the one to turn heel on Sasha

[KIRA]

FINALLY

[DAMN iNATOR]

Asuka is the walking embodiment of pain and suffering your place of origin is only relevant as information to notify next of kin

You sound like you'd be unsure as to who to root for if her and Alicia ever fought...

[DAMN iNATOR]

Bayley should be the one to turn heel on Sasha

Sure...ruin what's left of her career. :roll:

[Lock Jaw]

Sasha Banks is bleeding internally!

[Lock Jaw]

Ha ha

Alicia Fox: "I DON'T LISTEN TO RULES!"

Ref: "I know you don't!"

[KIRA]

Sahas mouth bleeding

[Lock Jaw]

I wonder if Bayley is gonna wear the tape on her shoulder forever now like Cesaro does

[KIRA]

You sound like you'd be unsure as to who to root for if her and Alicia ever fought...

Its like asking me to choose which of my sisters to kill

[KIRA]

Ha ha

Alicia Fox: "I DON'T LISTEN TO RULES!"

Ref: "I know you don't!"

:lol:

[DAMN iNATOR]

Its like asking me to choose which of my sisters to kill

Surely you must have a least favorite, though. :shifty:

[KIRA]

Emma you DINGO FUCKING BITCH!!1

[KIRA]

Surely you must have a least favorite, though. :shifty:

I really don't

[DAMN iNATOR]

Enzo getting on the mic again?

OH NO

[Emperor Smeat]

That Lumbar Check by Alexander to Enzo in the Post-RAW video looked brutal.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I really don't

I know...just razzing ya. :p

[Lock Jaw]

Crazy Quilt Enzo Amore the main event again........

[DAMN iNATOR]

Did Graves just say "Why don't you call me 'Darth Hater'?" :nono:👎

[Savio]

Holy shit corey..... (@skiing comment)

[Lock Jaw]

I wonder if 205 viewership went up by a significant amount last week

[DAMN iNATOR]

Sick of Enzo Amore's Bedtime Stories...

[DAMN iNATOR]

Somebody interrupt him already...

[Lock Jaw]

Why would Angle sign that clause?

[Lock Jaw]

Must have been high on morphine

[Savio]

I really like Enzo's character..... can't put my finger on why?

[Destor]

Enzo is stellar on the mic. Not sure if he can do anything other than ricky morton between the bells tho...

[rez]

FIRE THEM ALL

[Dark One]

Must have been high on morphine

He is a character who truly speaks to me.

[DAMN iNATOR]

So lame...

[owenbrown]

I hope Corey Graves comes down from the desk and decks Enzo

[Destor]

Legit lold at a few of these

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: WWE actually remembered Kalisto is on the roster and is a cruiser.

[Lock Jaw]

Sweet ring jacket and mask from Kalisto

Very crappy music

[Emperor Smeat]

Not a good color combo for Kalisto at least in regards to the mask.

[Dark One]

AND THE CROWD GOES mild

[Destor]

Kaliston looking great

[Evil Vito]

Only a year late in putting Kalisto in the cruiserweight division.

[Dark One]

Lince Dorado on the outside mentally sprucing up his resume.

[Destor]

Hopefully working with a real heel will help the division

[Dark One]

WWE with impressive foresight realizing that ending a Raw on Kalisto laying out Enzo would be a stinker to remember.

[Emperor Smeat]

I wonder if 205 viewership went up by a significant amount last week
Not really.

Observer from 2 weeks ago
The most-watched shows for the week on the WWE Network were: 1. Storytime Episode one of the new season (the episode that ran after Raw on 9/18); 2. NXT on 9/13; 3. SummerSlam; 4. Bobby Heenan special; 5. Mae Young Classic finals; 6. No Mercy 2016; 7. WrestleMania 33; 8. Royal Rumble 1992 (this is the one Ric Flair won which was famous for the Bobby Heenan commentary and Flair coming in at No. 3 and winning the title which was up in the rumble; 9. Mae Young Classic finals preview; 10. WWE Storytime season two sneak peak. So 205 Live was only 12th, and finished behind the NXT show six days earlier that was from the prior week. Enzo wasn’t on this show so you can’t judge whether he’s helped in past the first week off this number

Observer from last week
The top ten most-watched shows on the WWE Network this past week were: 1. No Mercy; 2. Raw Talk after No Mercy; 3. NXT on 9/20; 4. SummerSlam 2017; 5. Trail Blayzer (documentary on Alundra Blayze) 6. No Mercy pregame show; 7. Bobby Heenan Collection; 8. Storytime season two episode one; 9. WrestleMania 2017; 10. This Week in the WWE. 205 Live was 11th this past week, which was the show built around the Enzo and Neville face-to-face. It barely beat the 9/13 episode of NXT which would be in the period after the 9/20 episode had already aired

[Evil Vito]

Just realized Gran Metalik wasn't there.

2 must be the quota on masked guys.

[Savio]

@Smeat

So it went up!

[Simple Fan]

I really don't mind Enzo and think he's great for the cruiserweight division, don't think it should be the main event but they seem to experimenting with the last hour. Enzo gets it though and I highly enjoyed him insulting the division. I assume it was all improve which is what is lacking in WWE today.

[Emperor Smeat]

@Smeat

So it went up!
Probably not by a lot since the Network itself is still pretty small in terms of viewers and think the Observer mentioned before about the Top 10 numbers usually not being great to begin with.

Then again also tough to measure since the actual numbers never get revealed.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol Enzo Amore main evented Raw again?!?!

[Ruien]

What did Srrowman do?

[Evil Vito]

If WWE doesn't name this Miz/Cesaro/Sheamus alliance Bar Mizvah, their creative team really is made up by a bunch of incompetent morons.

[slik]

What did Srrowman do?

He sang that dreidel dreidel dreidel I made you out of clay song and AAA got real mad and stuff

[Emperor Smeat]

RAW had a sizable drop this week and broke a 2 week streak of being better than the previous year's week.

Only real bright side was the 3rd hour was better than last week so the Enzo main event experiment showed some fruit for the WWE.

Monday’s Raw brought in an average of 2,773,000 viewers, down from last week’s post-No Mercy 2,923,000 viewers ...

Raw was #4, 5 and 6 on cable in the 18-49 demographic for the night, behind the NFL game, SportsCenter and “Love and Hip Hop Hollywood.”

Hourly breakdown:

8PM: 2,945,000
9PM: 2,756,000
10PM: 2,619,000

[Stickman]

I think every match on Raw this week was interrupted by a commercial, terrible

[Ruien]

NFL is going to start going to commercial mid play.
