Who the fuck is that

[KyleEmmott]

GREAT SHOW!

[Tom Guycott]

I heard like one fan screaming the "FIVE! FIVE! FIVE!" chant.

[el bobbo]

what?

[Droford]

Black ryback

[Volare]

Big E Langston...big motherfucker. Pretty good in the ring from the NXT tapings. His gimmick was he was too good for a 3 count so he demanded he win via 5 count. Pretty much Lashley+Ryback+some Mark Henry.

[Frank Drebin]

Someone embed a good Big E match. I think hes supposed to be good.

[Immortal Moose]

Big E Langston...big motherfucker. Pretty good in the ring from the NXT tapings. His gimmick was he was too good for a 3 count so he demanded he win via 5 count. Pretty much Lashley+Ryback+some Mark Henry.

COUNT ME MORE!

[Cool King]

That makes him sound interesting to me.

I'll see what he's all about next week on Raw and give him some time before I create an opinion on him.

[Tom Guycott]

So again, I think that affirms my suspicions about NXT being a universe unto itself. Big E is the Ryback of NXT... he's super over as a face and has a "bounty" on him due to rejecting/embarassing Vickie. Rollins is "the face". Drew Mac is over as a face in spite of doing his heel thing. Alicia Fox... well, she does the same flip-flopping as on the main roster.

[Emperor Smeat]

Well this has been a really odd episode of RAW.

So apparently NXT hates Cena for some unexplained reason. Every former guy that comes from there beats the crap out of Cena the first chance they get.

[Hanso Amore]

So hes black King Kong buddy rip off with the five count?

Lame

[Hanso Amore]

So AJ is with big e Langston......lame. Unless it all ties into the shield somehow. Langston is not worthy of main event feuds

[Frank Drebin]

Overall good show. Some of those 3 min TV matches sucked, but rather enjoyed all the stories. The Big E debut was a shock.

[Bad News Gertner]

Langston is the fucking goods but God is he ever terrible on the mic.

[Cool King]

Langston is the fucking goods but God is he ever terrible on the mic.

Looking at him tonight was my first time actually seeing him on TV.

The only thing I don't like about his look is his face, though I know that can't be helped. I've never heard him talk but I got the feeling that with a face like his, he'd have a somewhat high voice, similar to Mike Tyson's.

[Graveler]

Black ryback

Ryblack

[Tom Guycott]

He does suck ass on the mic. But he has that "something" (besides his build) that makes him click. He needs a mouthpiece and to do the mute/selective speakin thing like Roman Reigns (who is also terrible on the mic).

And Hanso: they actually put over the fact that Bundy did the 5 count first, and that Langston is the "first guy" with the ability to do it since. Yes, we could go down a laundry list of guys who feisably could have, but the point is they are actually talking him up, unlike a lot of announcing on the main roster, where they don't.

But I do agree, that much like I felt with Ryback, he should not be shoehorned into the main event scene straightaway.

[Tom Guycott]

NXT Taking over this Bitch lol

I keep thinking more and more about Heyman's shoot vid where he talks about how he would improve TNA. Now, here he is in WWE, and all these young guys are getting called up. This cannot be coincidence.

[Dorkchop]

Who the fuck is that
RyBlack

Shhhhhhit. Just saw that Graveler posted that before me.

[DLVH84]

Rhodes should start wearing Rick Rude inspired airbrushed tights.

That would be a great idea, complete with a robe.

[Cool King]

Slammy Awards 2013 - Most Pointless Return: The Boogeyman?

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty enjoyable RAW.

I enjoyed all the returns.

Even Boogeyman's 25 second, so smoky and dark you can barely see him, return.

Billy Gunn still looks great.

Ric Flair was awesome tonight. I have been thinking though... with all the stuff Flair throws his money away on... you'd think he'd get a hair transplant, or go to a hair clinic or something.... those dudes who worked wonders for Chavo Guerrero.

Triple H looks more like Sean Bean than ever with his new haircut. Was "surprised" when he started speaking and didn't have a British accent.

[Lock Jaw]

Also, I am convinced that the best thing to do with Tensai right now is to stick him with Santino in a Santino/Kozlov type team.

I know we already have one small wrestler with a big wrestler "odd couple" team, but there can be two.

[Lock Jaw]

Also, I am convinced #2: That The Miz and Alberto Del Rio's Face turns have to be the worst executed face turns of major players in history. Really just throw away "They're gonna fight bad guys now" kind of turns. Absolutely zero stories or motives for their turns.

[Poit]

At least Del Rio's turn was because he was sticking up for his fellow Mexicans against some heels.

[MIZantine Empire]

I hate this interactive bs.. I live in arizona.. Thanks to cox re balancing their towers I no longer get raw live.. I get it at 9 pm my time.. So I can never participate.. So for their efforts in social media I say #fail

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

None of these slammies are legitimate. You had to have a bullshit ap on a smartphone. John Cena the superstar of the year? Fuck you. Crushed a soda can out of anger for that. Good thing that was the first thing I got my hands on.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

lol

[Tom Guycott]

That would be a great idea, complete with a robe.

I was going to say "Sandow's robe", but I didn't. Not because of the weird connotation, but because my phone started acting shitty for my postings.

And also, Cody can have a new verison of "Smoke and Mirrors" that's kind of a mash up with WWE's version of "The Stripper".

[The MAC]

and it looks like he will be involved in in-ring competition...

Discuss

[James Steele]

I enjoyed RAW. I honestly have no idea where the fuck anything is going. None. AWESOME.

[Rhaps]

None of these slammies are legitimate.

Wait, you mean a segment on a scripted TV show of a fake sport wasn't legit???:eek:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

CM Punk not nominated for match of the year? What the fuck are these fuckers smoking?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Five Moves of Doom Vs. Five Count.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Fuck, these NXT guys....

CALL UP BRAY FUCKDAMMIT

[Wehttam]

I hate this interactive bs.. I live in arizona.. Thanks to cox re balancing their towers I no longer get raw live.. I get it at 9 pm my time.. So I can never participate.. So for their efforts in social media I say #failbecause the wwe controls your cable provider, right?

[ClockShot]

Ugh. Didn't make it an hour before I had to go to bed. Got up to Flair making his 1-night return and that was it.

Damn, looks like I missed a good show.

[Savio]

At least Del Rio's turn was because he was sticking up for his fellow Mexicans against some heels.
Wait is he full on face now?

[Dark One]

Outside of him wrestling against heels and teaming with other faces, they barely even mentioned or explained the turn, as far as I recall. They made a reference to it on commentary in the middle of the match, but that was about it.

[Mercenary]

None of these slammies are legitimate. You had to have a bullshit ap on a smartphone. John Cena the superstar of the year? Fuck you. Crushed a soda can out of anger for that. Good thing that was the first thing I got my hands on.


So it's still real to you damn it?

[Big Vic]

Yeah glad CM Punk made mention of that, Cena had his worst year in the WWE. I'd say that's why I hate fan voting but I am pretty sure it is rigged...at least for that segment.

[Triple Naitch]

Big E Langston's debut kinda reminded me of how Faarooq debuted with Sunny.

[Volare]

Big E vs Random motherfucker.... this vid proves the point.

:lol:

[#1-norm-fan]

I'm thinking now that if Ziggler wins the WHC before WrestleMania, a Jack Swagger return as a face could lead to a sweet match for the title. Maybe have a... face Vickie take him back to face Ziggler with AJ in his corner?

I don't know. Face Vickie is a terrible idea but I don't know what the fuck else they could be doing. Maybe Vickie can just go away.

[Emperor Smeat]

Doubt Vickie is turning face anytime soon considering she's a heat machine. Only reason she made the mixed tag match was to get revenge against Ziggler for dumping her and could easily abuse her authority to make sure he suffers each week.

Logic-wise, she probably ordered Cena to go out and screw Ziggler's cashing attempt as more payback against him which would keep her as a heel still.

[James Steele]

I don't think it would be all that hard for Vickie to be a babyface. Have AJ beat the shit out of her until it is uncomfortable and even Dolph finally has enough and pulls AJ off of Vickie.

[Tommy Gunn]

Is Big E any good, or it is another Bobby Lashley situation where the WWE push another power house who's a complete derp on the microphone.

[Shadrick]

Triple H looked amazing with that hair. So majestic.

[Rammsteinmad]

How many times have we had the "monster comes down and destroys Cena with one finisher" debut/return, just for it to lead to a feud where Cena wins and said-Monster becomes another generic mid-card musclehead?

[Triple Naitch]

Tensai
Umaga
Nexus
Khali

[Dark One]

The correct answer is actually "all of them."

[Savio]

Tensai
Umaga
Nexus
Khali
Khali destroyed taker not Cena

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I don't think it would be all that hard for Vickie to be a babyface. Have AJ beat the shit out of her until it is uncomfortable and even Dolph finally has enough and pulls AJ off of Vickie.

Also have her vocal chords burnt with acid.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Is Big E any good, or it is another Bobby Lashley situation where the WWE push another power house who's a complete derp on the microphone.

He's derp on the microphone, so they probably will have the good sense to not let him speak. His gimmick is that he hits people with multiple finishers after the match and does a five count after every one. I like his cutter finisher too.

I heard some five chants when he ran down to the ring.

Why did they spoil who the special guest by having audio of Flair saying Slammy wrestler of the year on the promo? Ruined it for me.

[Skippord]

Big E is so much better than Ryback

[Lock Jaw]

Henceforth he shall be known as THE E LANGSTON
