9/26/11 Raw Thread: Stop the Awesome Truth Embargo and Beware the Woo Woo Wolverine!

[BigCrippyZ]

I don't get all this talk of his promos sucking and all that, like Austin said.

I just don't find his promo's to be very entertaining. Some of it may be that I often struggle to understand everything he is saying, but he's just bland and boring on the mic so far IMO.

No doubt he is the goods in the ring though.

The only thing that I have noticed is that he pauses in between sentences too long...it's almost as if he's processing what he's going to say, since English IS his 2nd language. So in those little pauses, it's possible he may lose some of the audience. But it should get better.

[Blakeamus]

Save up for Survivor Series, dude...Rock's gonna be there!

That's what I had in mind. I always get the Big 4 PPV's. But since MITB, it's too hard to resist getting every single PPV with how hot WWE is lately.

[MoFo]

lack of Mark Henry was dreadful

[Blakeamus]

Less is more.

[Shisen Kopf]

I hope Of The River wins at HIAC.

[Juan]

Apparently, there was a 5-way HIAC match tonight as the dark main event

[Lara Emily]

Not a bad dark Main Event

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Good show except CM Punk wasn't in the long promo at the start.

[KIRA]

I'm still just nursing my eyeballs back to health after the camera got a nice clear shot of A rys taint before he was eliminated


:nono:

[Rammsteinmad]

Urgh, really sick of Kelly Kelly. She can't wrestle. I don't find her attractive. And that's two weeks in a row where I've had to listen to her constantly going 'Come on Eve!'. Wanna punch her in the head.

[Rammsteinmad]

Aside from that, good show. I can see a heels vs. Triple H's 'team' thing at Survivor Series happening, similar to the heels vs. Steve Austin thing that happened at 2003's.

[XL]

Excellent show this week. Everything was booked right.

- Ryder losing due to Swagger, then winning in the Tag Match keeps him strong for a potential You Know It States Championship Title match

- The progression of heels v HHH was well done. I wanted to see Otunga attached to Christian as his legal advisor but this works better

- 10 man OTTR Battle Royal FTW

- Henry looked like a beast

- Punk looked good and ADR was left standing at the end of the show

[Hanso Amore]

I got really excited for a possible Ryan, Zigs and Swagger stable. Vicki would be alike a modern Bobby Heenan with the Family of Midcard heels that could really play well together.

Oh well. Could have been sweet. Ryan seems like the perfect Heel Monster that has a mouth piece.

[Hanso Amore]

Like I feel like Ryan and Sheamus wont work on the same show. 2 Monster Faces?

Sheamus has tons of steam and Ryan wont be able to get over.

[Blakeamus]

I see how that won't work. Mason Ryan's face work don't appeal to me. Maybe they will have Mason Ryan apart of the "conspiracy angle" as the monster heel in the group? Swerve within a swerve.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Sweet show. Otunga the lawyer is oddly entertaining.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Also, Dolph Ziggler's mic work is great as of late.

[Ermaximus]

He was always the more talented member of the Spirit Squad for sure.

[Hanso Amore]

Sweet show. Otunga the lawyer is oddly entertaining.

Otunga is so underrated. Everyone likes to pile on him. Its that IWC shit. He has great charisma and is no worse in the ring that a great deal of WWE stars. He will never win a match of the year, but neither would Zach Ryder.

He has a legit "character here" and for the first time is able to get out on his own. No one in Nexus was able to have much character of any sort. And now he and Gabriel are starting to break out on their own. And he is free of Perfect Junior who is a total waste of space.

[Aguakate]

lolllllllll@cole

Anal bleeding?? WTF?

LOL I loved Booker's reaction...

...he was like "Oh, man".

[Anybody Thrilla]

I really liked Booker T's reaction to Evan Bourne's longevity training, followed by Cole cracking up.

[Flash Funk]

I also love the Otunga direction...

[parkmania]

The lawsuit angle isn't a bad idea. But I can't picture Otunga being the head guy for this. Come on, who's had some sort of Lawyer gimmick when they were in the company?

The only other recurring lawyer I can remember in WWE was Clarence Mason.

[Lock Jaw]

Just watched the show. I enjoyed it.

Looks like David Otunga, Christian, Dolph, and Cody may start....

First step: They all need to get two-by-fours.

[MIZantine Empire]

Not watching yet... start it on the DVR about half way through... but noticed last week the Sin Caras had different logos on back of mask. is that still the case? One had a cross the other was weird looking.
from what i know, the real sin cara has the blonde hair sticking out the back.

[Juan]

He's also the one that weighs about 20-30 pounds less

[Skippord]

and is like 3 inches shorter

[Mr. Nerfect]

David Otunga was wearing a bow-tie, I heard. I must now watch RAW. Also, I hope the WWE doesn't lose McGillicutty. That man is the goods; he and Otunga were just not a good fit for each other. Repackage him on SmackDown!, and let him do what he was born to do.

[Cool King]

I watched Raw last night and I thought it was pretty good.

Like most people, I also like how we have a "Team Heel vs Triple H" thing going on at the moment, and Otunga now has something to work with which actually made him good to watch. He's now some Harvard legal know-it-all, sort of like this decade's Chris Nowinski, with his Harvard past, I guess.

I don't know what will happen with McGillicutty now. I'm hoping he'll come back as Joe Hennig.

Ryder getting a US Title shot was great and it pretty much places him in the US Title picture now. I did think it was a bit weird that Swagger & Ziggler seem to suddenly be friends now, but with that happening, I guess now Ryder is the guy that is most likely to take the US Title from Ziggler. Last week I said it was Swagger.

As for Kelly Kelly, I'm pretty sure she'll be losing the Diva's Title on Sunday. I'm actually a bit surprised that she's kept it for this long. The reason is most likely because of her popularity but still, she really needs to learn how to run off the ropes. It's just a little pet peeve of mine really, but when she runs to the ropes and off them, she barely touches them and then she just stumbles off them. :-\

But other than that, I think she's actually improved within the last year.

This actually sounds like a viable storyline where they try and get the wrestlers to form a union.

[parkmania]

But would Vince do a storyline that rings a little bit too close to the truth of pro wrestlers situation?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Are you joking?

[Shadrick]

I don't think he's being serious ABT. At least, I hope not.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Thank god the Robbie E ripoff lost

You do know Ryder had the gimmick first, yes?

Get out your cameras, quickly, folks, this is one of the few times you'll ever see myself and Juan agree about anything on here.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Agree on chronological order? Hardly anything to photograph.
