[Mr. Nerfect]

Axel's The Best in the World!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Love the story being told in this match. It makes me want Axel to win.

[Emperor Smeat]

Good match so far between Axel and Punk

[Cool King]

Lesnar!

[GD]

Brock Lesnar being considerate of the fans and posing although Heyman was in trouble.

[Cool King]

Here comes <s>the pain</s> the beast!

:-\

[Cool King]

Cole sounding like he's going to climax any second.

[Cool King]

Blooood.

[Mr. Nerfect]

That was a pretty captivating exchange. Punk is an idiot for not taking care of Lesnar before going for Heyman however.

[slik]

That was great.

I think Lesnar/Punk is going to be a really good match.

[GD]

I am fine with Brock Lesnar being a part timer as long as he brings that bad ass intensity.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Can you imagine the the pops Punk would have gone for going nuts with the steel chair and Lesnar scrambled to escape?

[Mr. Nerfect]

A lot of people are expecting Brock Lesnar to win at SummerSlam, but a win would be fairly massive for Punk. Kind of want Axel to get involved and help Brock win. Maybe a new guy from NXT under Heyman's guidance, too.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Could see Lesnar vs. Punk as the Hell in a Cell match at the PPV of the same name.

[Innovator]

So we have the answer to the age old question: Brock's forehead is stronger than Punk's chin

[Innovator]

But the beat goes on

[Mr. Nerfect]

It kind of annoys me that the WWE shows us what just happened before the commercial break.

[Innovator]

RENEEEEEE

[Skippord]

Jesus, did someone hose down Brock before this promo?

[GD]

Paul say something stupid :lol:

[Cool King]

I legitimately "lol'd" at Brock's "say something stupid" line. :lol:

[Mr. Nerfect]

Heyman's got a plan.

[KyleEmmott]

Let's tango

[Poit]

I legitimately "lol'd" at Brock's "say something stupid" line. :lol:

[BigCrippyZ]

I legitimately "lol'd" at Brock's "say something stupid" line. :lol:

Me too. Too funny. :rofl:

[Innovator]

Brock made a funny

[GD]

Summer Rae is such a delight.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I have a feeling Fandango will be putting over Sheamus here.

[Innovator]

Oh hey, Kofi is back.

[Mr. Nerfect]

KOFI!

[KyleEmmott]

New tights! I missed ya Kofi!

[Poit]

Kofi has pants.

[Innovator]

With long tights

[Cool King]

I see Fandango has ditched the "Flock of Seagulls" hair style.

[GD]

Kofi Kingston is back in longer tights and the crowd is awfully quiet.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I like Kofi's new attire.

[Cool King]

Kofi in tights.

Interesting.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Would love to see Kofi Kingston vs. Ryback.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Kofi Kingston vs. Curtis Axel in the Kickstart IC Title match?

[slik]

Coffee lukes weird in tights

not really weird


Just different

[KyleEmmott]

Kofi has a BIG future IMO.

[Poit]

Best <strike>Moonsault</strike> Crossbody Ever

[Cool King]

Just realised why I think I've seen Summer Rae before.

She looks similar to one of my ex-girlfriends, but with blonde hair.

[GD]

Stephanie trying to act :)

[KyleEmmott]

My heart just melted.... Stephanie

[Skippord]

Kofi's my favorite

and his long pants are rad

[Mr. Nerfect]

I legitimately thought that was Brad Maddox crying until I looked at the screen and realized it was Steph. :-\

[Skippord]

Triple H needs to take a deep breath

[KyleEmmott]

I'm pretty into this McMahon family angle.

[Skippord]

I would love wrestling so much if that was Brad Maddox crying

[Cool King]

The GM rooms are getting smaller and smaller every year.

[GD]

The GM rooms are getting smaller and smaller every year.

The GMs are losing their prestige like the World's Heavyweight Championship.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Team Triple H vs. Team Vince as a last minute attempt to get everyone on the SummerSlam card?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don't care if there are too many authority figures on WWE television already, I want to see William Regal named by Vickie Guerrero as her Assistant GM on SmackDown.

[Innovator]

Hope HHH doesn't make himself the guest ref, didn't work out too well last time

[Innovator]

I don't care if there are too many authority figures on WWE television already, I want to see William Regal named by Vickie Guerrero as her Assistant GM on SmackDown.
I want Regal as the Commissioner of Life.

[Mr. Nerfect]

YES! Real Americans!

[Cool King]

Antonio & Swagger!

[Mr. Nerfect]

I want Regal as the Commissioner of Life.

Inno does know!

[Skippord]

I swear the biggest pop of the night was for Zeb Colter mentioning cheese

[Skippord]

gonna be pretty bummed if the Usos beat Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger

[Mr. Nerfect]

I do like The Usos, but I don't like them as much as The Real Americans, so I hope they lose. I know they won't though.

[Cool King]

Y'all say OH!

[Innovator]

bumbumbumbumbumbumbum no pack no

[Skippord]

I honestly thought the crowd was chanting "Go Back Home" at the Uso's and was like "whoa settle down Green Bay racists"

[Mr. Nerfect]

Love Cesaro. So fucking much.

[Cool King]

I honestly thought the crowd was chanting "Go Back Home" at the Uso's and was like "whoa settle down Green Bay racists"

Ditto.

[Cool King]

YESSSSSSS!

[Skippord]

Not bummed

[Mr. Nerfect]

YES! YES! YES!

[Mr. Nerfect]

This rivalry will probably continue. Crazy tag team match at SummerSlam? Man, could you imagine if they do a TLC Match between The Real Americans, The Usos and The Shield?

[Cool King]

I was just wondering where Ziggler was.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Kind of think it would be smart booking to have AJ Lee help Langston beat Ziggler.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I am still buzzing about Antonio Cesaro getting another win on RAW.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don't mind The Neutralizer, but someone as powerful as Cesaro could probably use a powerbomb or something to put away his opponents.

[Mr. Nerfect]

If the WWE still had Briley Pierce under contract, AJ Lee could hook up with him to mess with Dolph.

[Skippord]

they should just have Cesaro use the Ricola Bomb as a finisher

[Cool King]

[MUFFLED RAP MUSIC PLAYING IN THE DISTANCE]

[Cool King]

Fuck yeah, Kaitlyn!

[Cool King]

TAG TEAM MATCH PLAYA!

[Cool King]

Big E with his shit finishing move.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Remember when Dolph and Kaitlyn had a thing on NXT?

[Mr. Nerfect]

That Argentine rack into a backbreaker was a far sicker move than The Big Ending, which works in theory, but it should be into an Ace Crusher.

[Innovator]

Dammit I wanted a 5 count

[GD]

[MUFFLED RAP MUSIC PLAYING IN THE DISTANCE]

Big E should come out to Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" and a Rasta hat.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I guessed a few weeks ago they were building to AJ & Big E. vs. Dolph & Kaitlyn, but why have Layla get involved in the story just recently? After SmackDown I assumed it would be AJ, Layla & The Bellas vs. Kaitlyn, Natalya & The Funkadactyls. Maybe they'll still do that and a Dolph vs. Big E. rematch?

[The Condor]

The mid card has been strong the past month or so. That's all I got to say 'bout that.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Ah, I guess Miz TV is where Dolph and Kaitlyn officially challenge Big E. & AJ.

[Frank Drebin]

oh, you've had chocolate there before, toots. Trust me.

[KyleEmmott]

I actually like his hair slicked back in a ponytail...didn't even know it was long enough to do that.

[stultiloquy]

With Bryan's hair slicked back he looks like Bizarro Sandow.

[slik]

Ambrose ditches the white shirt for a black one finally

[Frank Drebin]

seems like Cena tries very hard to get pops via other wrestlers who are over.

[Frank Drebin]

What? a DQ??

[Emperor Smeat]

seems like Cena tries very hard to get pops via other wrestlers who are over.

Yeup done it a bunch of times the past few years.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Is Orton just teasing?

[The Condor]

Don't care about this ending

[stultiloquy]

Always found The Shield's triple-powerbomb very underwhelming.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Love The Shield standing tall at the end of RAW. Think those guys are great.

[owenbrown]

How great would it be if Heath Slater beat Christian somehow here and then got added to the World Title, which he would win when 3MB could get legally involved?

Gertner hacked Noid's shit :shifty:

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if this might tease Vince "hiring" the Shield to soften up Cena and Bryan after their SS match and then has Orton to cash in and win to become his hand-picked "corporate" champ.

Would also fix the mistake Vince did years ago with Punk which had just Del Rio cashing but Punk being able to foil those plans.

[Lock Jaw]

My RAW Thought:

THEY BETTER NOT F'N ADD RVD TO THE SUMMERSLAM WHC MATCH :foc:

[Cool King]

[Poit]

Totally thought his thumb was a nipple there.

[Frank Drebin]

He's gonna be there right? Where else will he fit in on the card or who can he put over?

[GD]

The real World Heavyweight Champion.

[Wake Up Call]

Overall good show.

Loved Heyman/Lesnar/Punk.

Wish Bryan or Cena would take a swing at the other, I'm sure it will happen next week. Love the inclusion of Orton.

Next week should be a great show

[BigCrippyZ]

So, my wife brought up a good question tonight while Raw was on in the background. She said for months now she's watched the shield attack other wrestlers randomly. So she asked me why the shield always came through the crowd and attacked. I said they're a heel stable and they're dolling out justice. She asked me justice for what? I had no idea what to tell her. Doesn't this seem like a problem or something we should know by now?

[Lock Jaw]

Really should have done more with Christian on this RAW. Dude just became the #1 contender for a major title at a major PPV, and you give him a jobber entrance and a match against Heath Slater, and no mic time.

Should have definitely let him talk. I don't get why they never let Christian talk anymore, since he is so good at it.

[Lock Jaw]

Also, I said it last week, but I am not digging Daniel Bryan's current character. Needs to be angrier, louder, and more in your face.

[Fignuts]

Definitely feel like rodrigo is going to cost del rio the title at Summerslam.

I thought they said they were attacking people because the same group of stars was hogging the main event scene and keeping the mid-lower card guys down through their political clout.
I mean, that's what I thought their purpose was, but seem to pretty much attack anyone whenever they want.

[Shadrick]

yeah, they're heels

[Curd]

Ah, I guess Miz TV is where Dolph and Kaitlyn officially challenge Big E. & AJ.

...Thus saddling Dolph with another ultimately pointless feud. It's been pretty clear from AJ's attacks on Dolph that he's feuding with a Diva. REAL GOOD WAY TO SPEND HIS TIME, WWE BOOKERS. :roll:

I suppose one could compare it to Dusty & Saphire vs. Savage & Sherri, but how did that help either man get over? Why not let AJ vs. Kaitlyn stand on its own merit?

[Fignuts]

Yeah, don't get what they're doing with Dolph. Every time it seems like they're pushing him to that next level, they back off. Just weird.

Because coming up with stories is hard. Having someone randomly attack someone to start a feud is easy. Leaves more time for activities.

- WWE creative.

[Shadrick]

lmao @ leaves more time for activities

[Innovator]

Creative LOVES bunk beds.

[Vastardikai]

So, who's going to be the corporate champion: Randy Orton or John Cena? Oh wait, we already know the answer to this... *sigh*

[Mr. Pierre]

At Summerslam, I feel like they can't just do a straightforward cash-in with Orton, but a cash-in still should happen.

During the show, let's say after the 2nd match, there is an "emergency shaky cam" segment that shows Orton being taken into the back of an ambulance. Commentators are confused/concerned, and no one knows who attacked him.

Then before the main event with Bryan/Cena, Vince is shown at the gorilla position watching intently. Trips then pops into the picture and says, "You and I are staying right here..." Knocking out any chance of Vince screwing up the match.

Bryan ends up making Cena tap out, winning the Championship. Bryan is pseudo-celebrating since he's selling the match. The camera cuts back to Trips who is smiling at Vince, but Vince starts laughing. All of a sudden, Orton jumps into the scene and throws Triple H into the wall, lays a few boots to him, etc.

Vince starts screaming "Go!! Go!!" Orton runs through gorilla and into the ring. Punts Cena, RKOs Bryan, wins the belt. Vince ends the night smiling at the ramp as his new corporate champ wins and completes their setup.

[Mr. Pierre]

Orton does the plan to add the element of surprise to his cash-in, like he initially promised. It would make no sense for him to just come out after the main event without a swerve because he has been teasing that scenario for a couple weeks.

Also, by throwing the cash-in out of the fan's mind by having us assume Orton was injured, it allows them/us to focus solely on Bryan/Cena and not think "Oh, doesnt matter who wins since Orton is fresh and will cash in afterward"

[Ultra Mantis]

Looks like Trent Baretta has sold his old tights to Kofi in order to cover his rent.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Trent Baretta is in TNA, by the by.

[Vastardikai]

Still doesn't make his comment inaccurate.

I really like that scenario. The only thing I would add is The Shield attacked Cena and Bryan right after the match. Orton then cashes in and it makes the plan even more sinister and devious. Plus it gives Vince four corporate champions.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Another possibility:

What if Orton goes to cash-in on Bryan after the match, but The Shield actually stand up for Bryan and prevent Orton's "injustice?" The Shield have been ambiguous in their motives, and with The Wyatt Family as clear heels, perhaps turning The Shield face could eventually pit them against that group?

[Innovator]

It's at the point where Orton should cash in, maybe not at Summerslam so maybe the RAW after. WWE needs a top heel right now and Orton can fill that role.

[Vastardikai]

What if the Shield has been secretly working for John Cena?

[Shadrick]

That would turn Cena which is not going to happen.

[OldSchoolFan]

Who else would freaking lose their minds if Bryan makes Cena tap... Orton comes to cash-in and somehow ends up tapping to Bryan???
