Corndad Presents: I didn't read the spoilers so here's the Raw Thread for 7/29

[Corndad]

See Title. I'm sure won't be as active a thread tonight but I made this long without reading Spoilers, why not just watch and see what happens right?

Looking forward to the next step for Punk/Lesnar and hope build Bryan up even more as a threat this week as well.

[Cool King]

I haven't read the spoilers either.

I'm interested to see what'll happen with Sandow/Rhodes after what happened on SmackDown.

As announced last week, we also have the return of Kane. I doubt it, but seeing that picture of Bray Wyatt with Kane's mask, has put the thought in my head that Kane could have a new mask or no mask at all, but like I said, I doubt it.

Well will most likely see the Wyatt Family/Kane thing move forward, now that Kane is back.

[Cool King]

Also, Big Show could return this week as he didn't return last week.

[Corndad]

I haven't read the spoilers either.

Bray wearing Kane's mask to the ring would own everything else they show tonight. lol

[ClockShot]

I buzzed/glanced through them. But I'll watch anyway.

Nothing else on monday nights these days. Except Longmire. But I'll watch that tomorrow morning.

[Cool King]

Bray wearing Kane's mask to the ring would own everything else they show tonight. lol

That would be pretty awesome.

Though he could give the mask to Luke Harper as Erick Rowan has that sheep mask.

[Lock Jaw]

I too have not read the spoilers, so I am in.

[Lock Jaw]

Also, no evidence to support that Bray Wyatt has Kane's mask. That "pic" was a typical WWE Photoshop picture for an article.

[Poit]

I too have not read the spoilers, so I am in.

[Lock Jaw]

No JBL tonight. :(

[Cool King]

No JBL?

Damn. :(

[Corndad]

No Chance... That's what you got.

[blak23]

I have not read them. let us enjoy

[Cool King]

I feel like I should have used Ron Simmons there.

[ClockShot]

YEAH VINCE, IT'S FUN TIME!

Even though this was taped last week

WE'RE GONNA HAVE FUN ANWAY!

[Poit]

And we open with Vince & his puppet.

[parkmania]

RESPECT THE BEARD!

[blak23]

Ah, Heel Vince, welcome back.

[Cool King]

I'm hearing those "Seagull Cheers" you get on SmackDown. :-\

[blak23]

How does one get this over?

[Lock Jaw]

Smiling face Daniel Bryan on the mic is kind of "eh". Paranoid crazy/anger issues D-Bry is the man though.

[Poit]

RUTHLESS AGGRESSION.

[ClockShot]

Vince just give away the finish of the match tonight?

[Cool King]

RUTHLESS AGGRESSION!

[blak23]

Ruthless Agressssssion!

[Poit]

Spontaneous combustion? WTF? :lol:

[ClockShot]

Sierra....Hotel.....India.......Echo..........Lima......Delta...........SHIELD!

[Lock Jaw]

Well, I guess this match isn't at Summerslam then.... unless it ends in some sort of brawl/breakdown here.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm kind of thinking that the WWE might try and pull a screwjob angle at SummerSlam and have Vince cost Bryan the WWE Title and start a program with him to try and get him even more over before he wins the WWE Title.

[el bobbo]

sup

[Lock Jaw]

Lima....Oscar....Charlie....Kilo....Juliette....Alpha....Whiskey....LOCK JAW!

[Mr. Nerfect]

I can't really see The Usos being high-priority enough to make the SummerSlam card. The Shield beating them and then moving onto Henry and two main eventers seems more likely.

[Cool King]

Well, I guess this match isn't at Summerslam then.... unless it ends in some sort of brawl/breakdown here.

I still think we'll be getting Henry/Ambrose for the US Title and Usos/Rollins & Reigns for the Tag Titles at SummerSlam.

[ClockShot]

Lima....Oscar....Charlie....Kilo....Juliette....Alpha....Whiskey....LOCK JAW!

Well done, sir. I'll go to war with you anyday.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I would love it if Ambrose somehow beat Henry to retain the US Title. It'd make the dude look like a killer.

[ClockShot]

"The bigger they are, the higher they fly."

I'd like to test that theory on Mysterio, King.

[Emperor Smeat]

I can't really see The Usos being high-priority enough to make the SummerSlam card. The Shield beating them and then moving onto Henry and two main eventers seems more likely.

Really depends on what the WWE does with Big Show since the rumored original plans were for Show/Henry vs Shield. Usos only took his spot because of concerns Show wouldn't be ready.

[blak23]

xFlashpoint DVD? oh yes

[Cool King]

How can they know the ratings for Total Divas is this Raw was recorded on Wednesday due to their tour?

[GD]

Piped chants on Monday Night RAW.

[ClockShot]

How can they know the ratings for Total Divas is this Raw was recorded on Wednesday due to their tour?

Psychic powers. :roll:

This is the fun thing about taped shows. We can pick them apart and criticize them at our leisure.

[blak23]

Commentary recorded afterwards

[Poit]

How can they know the ratings for Total Divas is this Raw was recorded on Wednesday due to their tour?

Details.

[GD]

Commentary recorded afterwards

Michael Cole is an excellent forecaster.

[parkmania]

Commentary recorded afterwards

This. I'd be shocked if Cole or Lawler were on the tour.

[Lock Jaw]

Bully Ry

[blak23]

Why does Ryback always sound congested?

[Cool King]

Ryback: Now give me your lunch money!

[Emperor Smeat]

Missed opportunity not having Ryder in this segment considering all the Ryder vs Catering jokes he's made before.

[BigCrippyZ]

Ugh. King is SO AWFUL as a face commentator these days. I had to turn the channel.

[blak23]

Why was there a camera filming those guys eating a snack in the first place?

[Cool King]

At least the bread cushioned the guy's head.

[Lock Jaw]

They are obviously on tour since they have been on camera. Does not mean they can't add in lines (in addition to fan reaction) in post production.

[el bobbo]

Shouldn't RYBACK go to jail for just assaulting someone like that?

[Lock Jaw]

Anything goes in a wrassling arena

[blak23]

Shouldn't RYBACK go to jail for just assaulting someone like that?

yes

[Cool King]

Commentary recorded afterwards

So Cole & King just sat at the table on Wednesday only to do pieces to camera?

I guess that line about Total Divas could have been added later, but it seems like a pointless journey for Cole & King to make up to Hartford, only to record one sentence.

[ClockShot]

THEY'RE HERE!

[Rollermacka]

Shouldn't RYBACK go to jail for just assaulting someone like that?

Not if they're a local Texas worker who's currently the NWA Lone Star Junior Heavyweight Champion.... his name is Ricky Starks ;)

[parkmania]

Guess Kane got his mask back.

[Cool King]

That's gotta be Kane!

[Cool King]

RVD!

[Lock Jaw]

F*** no, RVD!

[blak23]

Can't really care about RVD right now

[Lock Jaw]

Or ever

[blak23]

Maybe if he took the time to connect on the mic

[Lock Jaw]

Just tell us why JBL isn't there. Will it take so long to explain that you need to do it later?

[blak23]

Fandango is the biggest tweener ever

[ClockShot]

Take her out, RVD!

[Lock Jaw]

Fandango's jobber class specializes in countout losses

[blak23]

For some reason I don't think this will build toward anything

[Lock Jaw]

Fandango is the biggest tweener ever

Fandango is a tweener now?

[Cool King]

So what did I miss from that match?

I spent all that time in my living room trying to catch some giant fucker of a spider. I come back and see Fandango rolling out the ring and getting counted out.

[el bobbo]

AJ sounds crazier than usual. I love it.

[blak23]

Fandango is a tweener now?

Yup

[el bobbo]

Big E likes to watch.

[Lock Jaw]

So what did I miss from that match?

RVD rolled around and kicked

[blak23]

What happens if AJ runs out of male counterparts?

[blak23]

RVD rolled around and kicked

pretty much

[Lock Jaw]

If that happens, I will volunteer to make my services available.

[Cool King]

RVD rolled around and kicked

Damn, I like it when he rolls around and kicks.

[Cool King]

Fuck yeah, Kaitlyn!

[blak23]

The give AJ and Kaitlyn some good time

[blak23]

And for good reason

[Cool King]

Big E has the same expression I have whenever I watch AJ too.

[Cool King]

w00t!

[blak23]

AJ is very over

New Friend?

[el bobbo]

Can't wait for next week's episode of Real Housewives of WWE.

[Rollermacka]

(Watching the commercial for Total Divas) What a minute, did she say "I'm an ashternaught?"

[ClockShot]

Big E trying to be the next John Cena.

[blak23]

Can't wait for next week's episode of Real Housewives of WWE.

sick burn

[Cool King]

Big E shouting the lyrics of Triple H and Cena's themes to Dolph there.

[Corndad]

Figures I'd start a Raw thread for once and my internet goes down for half hour. Da fuck.

[ClockShot]

Damn, you can hear the piped in chants now.

[Corndad]

That AJ chick is kinda crazy isn't she.

[blak23]

Big E is only 5'11

[Lock Jaw]

Big E is only 5'11

But has an impressive bust

[BigCrippyZ]

Big E's tits are bigger than AJs. I wonder if she motorboats him?

[Lock Jaw]

F*** Yeah, Christian!

[Lock Jaw]

Sweet new tights

[Cool King]

Wow, I wasn't far from Mont Blanc last month.

[Lock Jaw]

Damn, they are probably jobbing him out here

[Cool King]

It feels like Christian has had that "Vital Element" T-shirt forever.

[blak23]

I think Alberto needs a new shirt

[ClockShot]

God this digital cable shtick sucks. Haven't had a match yet without it skipping or pausing.

Gotta make the jump to Satelite.

[blak23]

It feels like Christian has had that "Vital Element" T-shirt forever.

That is because he has

[blak23]

God this digital cable shtick sucks. Haven't had a match yet without it skipping or pausing.

Gotta make the jump to Satelite.

Not that much better

[Lock Jaw]

That is why he should stop wearing t-shirts and go back to his sweet ring jackets

[ClockShot]

I think most, if not all those tweets on that ticker just now were phony.

[Poit]

What's the crowd chanting?

[ron the dial]

"christian just hyperextended del rio's whole spinal cord there"

[GD]

Why is the crowd behind Alberto?

[Cool King]

CHRISTIAN WINS!

[Lock Jaw]

YES YES YES I'M MARKING OUT BRO

[Corndad]

Wow didn't expect that to end in a Christian win.

[stultiloquy]

Because he leeched a chant from Daniel Bryan for them to use...context doesn't matter to a live crowd, they just need one syllable to yell over and over.

[Lock Jaw]

Best Raw in years :shifty:

[Cool King]

Maybe now Christian can get a new T-shirt.

[Lock Jaw]

In all seriousness, pretty sweet match

[Cool King]

A good T-shirt.

[Cool King]

Jobber entrance.

[Cool King]

Cody!

My TPWW Survivor pick.

[Cool King]

It was never said why Sin Cara was raking around in the trash on SmackDown.

[Cool King]

That music. :lol:

[Corndad]

This is tremendous. How did I miss this Smackdown lol

[ClockShot]

Cody should have kept the briefcase and become Repo Man 2.0

[ron the dial]

that video package was cracking me up

[Corndad]

Remember when Barrett was Main Eventing PPVs a few years ago?

[BigCrippyZ]

Remember when everyone was saying Barrett was going to be a main eventer and WWE champion?

[ron the dial]

"did he just say "come on!" in an english accent?"

no, king. that's not at all what he said.

[stultiloquy]

Barrett seriously needs some direction...he's just floating around right now fighting people with little-to-nothing as motivation.

[Lock Jaw]

Commentary really lacking without JBL's voice and insights

[ron the dial]

my new self appointed job and sole contribution to these threads from now on: just post absolutely terrible king quotes.

[ClockShot]

A little more practice on that moonsault, Cody.

[Cool King]

Yessss.

Great reversal into Cross Rhodes too.

[stultiloquy]

Cody needs to fully commit to that mustache thing and go for the full, curly-tipped, Snidely Whiplash look.

[ron the dial]

this is a great feud. elevates both guys so nicely.

[Corndad]

Well so much for Bray having Kane's mask lol

[ClockShot]

No ringpost fire?

[Cool King]

King has been calling Kane's matches for 16 years and it's only now he says "Ah! Everything's red!"

[Poit]

King has been calling Kane's matches for 16 years and it's only now he says "Ah! Everything's red!"

This is the same guy who just said that Kane lighting someone on fire is "spontaneous combustion". Don't expect too much.

[Lock Jaw]

I wish this Kane/D-Bry match was a bigger deal, and not just a part of two other stories.

[parkmania]

No ringpost fire?

Likely means Kane wins. I've noticed most of the time if Kane does the pyro at the start of the match he loses, but if not, he either wins or has a post-match moment where he comes out on top.

[ClockShot]

THEY'RE HERE, AGAIN!

[ron the dial]

man i hope this group can keep things interesting. the visuals are so cool.

[Emperor Smeat]

Good match between Bryan and Kane

Still loving the way the Wyatts entrances are setup.

[Poit]

If Kane hadn't chokeslammed his best friend right there, he'd probably have some help right now.

[ron the dial]

love the kiss on the forehead

[ClockShot]

With all the beards, maybe they should have went after Daniel Bryan to get things rolling with the Wyatt Family.

[Cool King]

Wow, Natalya has a match.

[stultiloquy]

Meanwhile, Waylon Mercy seethes with jealousy.

[Cool King]

Last week Brie shows us her nipple.

This week she shows us the top of her ass crack.

[ron the dial]

it's hard to believe that the L to the forehead thing is still being done anywhere

[Corndad]

Really? Quack? Quack?

[ron the dial]

uuugggghhhhh terrible

[stultiloquy]

Well...that was awful.

[blak23]

Nattie deserves a lot better

[Cool King]

That sort of reminded me of the LayCool/Mickie James thing but instead of a pig, like what LayCool called Mickie, the Bellas are calling Natalya a duck.

[ron the dial]

"i've got it! let's have 2 attractive women call another attractive woman ugly! should be television gold!"

[DAMN iNATOR]

RUTHLESS AGGRESSION.

Reminded me...who was it that called Benoit "Toothless Aggression"? Was it Angle?

There's been a few times I've been sure I've caught Cole & King sitting at the table either not talking when we're hearing them talk and calling the match but not looking at their monitors/looking at each other.

Maybe they did go to Raw to just do pieces to camera and are calling Raw live from Hartford or something. :-\

[BigCrippyZ]

Not too mention, "Don't be a bully, unless you're doing it to win a competition, then it's okay and you'll probably get to be the star of a tv show."

The only time a kazoo should EVER be used.

[Emperor Smeat]

The piped in crowd noise sounded pretty bad while Heyman was talking. The WWE should really stop doing that since most of the time it comes off being bad.

[blak23]

Axel is kinda bad. "more perfect than perfect" really?

[BigCrippyZ]

The piped in crowd noise sounded pretty bad all night

[ron the dial]

more human than human worked for white zombie

[Cool King]

Axel is kinda bad. "more perfect than perfect" really?

Meh, I like it.

Expect to see it on a T-shirt soon though.

[Cool King]

Yeah, Cole & King are calling Raw live from Hartford.

When Punk climbed the table, Lawler was just finishing what he was saying, but Lawler on screen wasn't moving his mouth.

[BigCrippyZ]

That Necessary Roughness show looks so awful

[slik]

my new self appointed job and sole contribution to these threads from now on: just post absolutely terrible king quotes.

We're going to need a bigger thread.

[Poit]

I just laughed out loud at "corporate makeover".

[ron the dial]

why do i find steph's voice so sexy? I DON'T GET IT.

[Cool King]

Yeah, I was thinking this during the in-ring promo at the beginning of the show but now, after hearing "Corporate Makeover", I just keeping thinking of the whole Austin/McMahon thing back in the day, when Austin came out in a suit and McMahon didn't think Austin was good as the champion/face of the company and all that.

[BigCrippyZ]

Vince showing off their huge table budget

[ron the dial]

well that was a bad cut to break

[Cool King]

And Lawler gets cut off.

[Sepholio]

God I hope they don't mess up with the Wyatts. Most interesting thing in WWE in years for me for some reason. I see so much potential for this gimmick that it's scary.

[Corndad]

Ryback is kinda cracking me up tonight lol Someone please find a GIF of him leading the Cena Chants

[ron the dial]

lol @ how cena went into those steps

[DaveBrawl]

This show is lacking Sin Cara.

The replay with him digging through the trash, moment of the night.

[Cool King]

lol @ how cena went into those steps

Yeah, I was just about to mention that but I couldn't seem to find the right words to use.

But I've never really liked the way Cena hits the steps.

He always makes it look so obvious. Like he was intending to hit them anyway. :-\

[ron the dial]

he shoves the steps so hard it doesn't look like there's any actual impact to his body. just flying steps.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Ryback throwing Cena over the table

[Corndad]

This looks like a WWE '13 Match LOL

[ron the dial]

definitely need those steel steps to get around that table

[ron the dial]

this has actually been a really fun match

[Corndad]

"One more for the big guy" LOL Loving Ryback this match.

[Lock Jaw]

Not really digging this Daniel Bryan/Cena feud. Can't help but wish that he was still involved with Kane, and this stuff with the Wyatt Family led to their "strained friendship" being reunited as Team Hell No fights the Wyatts.

[The Condor]

I think Ryback could work as a heel if he could win a match once in a while.

[Bad News Gertner]

Said it before, will say it again: Christian isn't over, and he's an awful choice for a world title match at Summerslam

[#1-norm-fan]

I think Ryback could work as a heel if he could win a match once in a while.

He would have worked as a face if he could have won a match... ever.

[Skippord]

Luke Harper finally hit his big boot!!!

#Swoon

[Skippord]

more human than human worked for white zombie
I think they should've called him "The Astrocreep" Curtis Axel myself

[Skippord]

I love Bray Wyatt so much

I feel like this is what all of my wrestling forum posts have become

[el bobbo]

more human than human worked for white zombie

Curtis Axel is no White Zombie.

[Bad News Gertner]

Curtis Axel has the mic skills of a zombie

[Bad News Gertner]

Love his discus clothesline. Really wish he'd use the Truckstop.

[Innovator]

I love his big boot followed by YEAHYEAHYEAHyeahYEAH
