Were you not distraught when RVD became WWE Champion?

I was inconsolable

Wasn't that FourFifty?

[GD]

Orton is so smooth and fluid in the ring.

[Dark One]

It's been a good RAW tonight, washes away my work day, had to work overtime to pick up the slack of others and getting a mad push too, gotta stay true and turn heel someday though. Don't want them to book me all the time

Heisenberg will dropkick a bitch the second you turn your back.

Yeah, but I was used to being disappointed by the WWE Title scene by then...

[#1-norm-fan]

Wonder how many times Orton and Cena have actually wrestled each other. That would be a staggering stat.

Including tonight, they've been in the same match together 89 times on PPV/TV. (That includes battle royals and matches where they teamed together.)

Not including battle royals, they have been opponents 60 times. 20 of those have been one on one matches.

SUPERMAN THAT HO ROMAN!

[Dark One]

Really feel like I should have titled this thread The Raw 6-30-14 SPOILER EVERYONE IS BACK Thread.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Kick his ass hard and somebody find out where Dean Ambrose is and lock him up.

[Lock Jaw]

Always laugh every time Cena does the "vigorously push the stairs" when he gets thrown into them.

[slik]

OMG Poster MVP has returned and posted on my wall

(slik falls out of chair)

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

do it again

[slik]

The night of surprises continues

[road doggy dogg]

ONE MORE TIME

[#1-norm-fan]

Well I'm glad they didn't do the awful stereotypical "OMG CHAMPION GOT PINNED! WHAT NOW!?!?!" finish.

[Razzamajazz]

i only saw a small bit of raw tonight. but i assume it's safe to say there was alot of complaining about it

[Emperor Smeat]

Ha "one more time" chants

[Corndad]

MITB NOW HAHAHAHA

[Cool King]

WHAT!?

[GD]

Holy shit! Seth is cashing in :eek:

[road doggy dogg]

internet is happy now

[Jura]

RING THE BELL!

[Corndad]

Nice Tease

[road doggy dogg]

haahahahha Ambrose

[Heisenberg]

Raw of the year so far

[Cool King]

They took their sweet ass time to ring that bell.

[GD]

Predictability is good sometimes.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

kill the ref.

[Savio]

good raw

[Dark One]

I rate tonight's Raw Five out of Five Ric Flairs.

[Corndad]

WWE knew they had to up their game and they definitely have tonight. Swagger/Rusev Jericho/Wyatt Rollins/Ambrose This might be a pretty great PPV coming up.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Man I love Ambrose. Easily my favorite guy in the company right now.</font>

[slik]

Great RAW tonight

build to SummerSlam begins strong

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Was Russo writing? We had alot of heel/face turns and other swerves.

[Lock Jaw]

Good RAW. Lots of "moments".

[GD]

Quite an enjoyable RAW tonight.

[slik]

SummerSlam:

HHH vs Reigns
(Cena vs Brock)
Ambrose vs Rollins
Y2J vs Bray
Bryan vs BO

[Malfeitor]

Fuck, that was awesome.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The Road to Summerslam.

[Theo Dious]

They took their sweet ass time to ring that bell.

I feel like the timing with Ambrose coming out was off. Also the staredown went on like five minutes too long. Still a great way to close the show.

[Dark One]

The pre and post-shows being from a glass cubicle in WWE HQ is pretty pathetic now. Are they really saving that much money by doing it this way?

[Emperor Smeat]

Good Raw this week.

Loved Jericho's return and that stare down to end the show.

[ron the dial]

really good raw. a smart followup to last night's mediocre outing.

[ron the dial]

the build for roman reigns has been handled really well so far. hopefully they can keep that momentum going without blowing their load too early.

[Cool King]

It was a pretty good Raw tonight. More due to the returns and storylines than the actual matches though.

I'm really looking forward to Swagger/Rusev and to see how Swagger does as a face. More Swagger is fine by me.

Jericho is back and with me being biased, anything with Jericho is great.

Paige no longer the Divas Champion is pretty sweet too. A random double turn, but hopefully this actually gives Paige something to be, other than some 21 year old from England who gets her ass handed to her in every match and then pulls off a lucky win.

And it sucks that Barrett is out of action now for what could be the rest of the year, but we do get an Intercontinental Champion Battle Royal Match, which is always great to see.

[#1-norm-fan]

They need to keep doing moments like that where Reigns stands out like that. Between him just being part of a build for the MITB match with 7 other guys and teaming up with Cena for a meaningless tag match tonight, his singles run was not making him stand out at all. That image of him standing there staring down Triple H to close the show though was perfect.

[Droford]

Since they're in CT tonight, probably

[slik]

The Summer of Reigns

[BigCrippyZ]

Really good RAW tonight. Except for the horrible Bella vs Funkadactyls match and the weird promo between AJ/Paige.

I swear, the first couple times I heard Paige I thought she was decent on the mic, but as time as gone on she seems to have gotten worse and awkward as hell on the mic.

[ron the dial]

well, they took her from nxt where she got decent enough mic time, and brought her to the main roster where she basically had no mic time for 3 months. she was never the best, but she definitely used to be better. it also didn't help that they were pushing her as a face when she's clearly better at playing a tweener at the very least. let her continue to develop in that role before forcing her to switch gears. definitely should have kept the anti-diva thing from nxt going, but i see why they didn't considering aj's character at the time.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

How do you know she is pregnant?

[Lock Jaw]

The internet said she was pregnant.

[Hanso Amore]

I'm sure a public traded company let a pregnant wrestler take bumps on national tv

[Droford]

NWA/Jim Crockett Promotions did: the Bunkhouse Stampede

I'm watching this (1988) now on the network having never seen it before. The come as you are part was dumb but the rest was decent. Legit laughed at the big boot Dusty got for winning.

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE.com has confirmed that Cesaro suffered an eye injury during his match with Kofi Kingston on Raw thanks to what WWE physician Dr. Chris Amann described as a poke from Kingston’s finger that rendered the eye red and swollen.

“We did some specialized testing and staining of the eye which showed he did have a scratch on the right side of the eye, which is called the sclera and not on the cornea, which is the clear part of the eye,” said Amann. “We’re going to keep his eye patched for the next 24-48 hours, use some artificial tears and re-evaluate him tomorrow prior to his match [against Dolph Ziggler on WWE Main Event].”

[Sepholio]

So I'm officially super stoked for Bray/Y2J feud. One of my 3 favorite performers ever against my current favorite. The potential here is so awesome. The things they can and will do on the mic excite me. Gonna bust at least 17 (thousand) nuts over the course of this feud.

Pretty great RAW tonight. Maybe the best in years. Whoever booked it was trained well by Russo. Hope they keep this up.

[Sepholio]

<font color=goldenrod>Heh, imagine if they actually had Ambrose stick to that threat the whole next year. Stops Rollins from cashing in every single time he makes a surprise run-in. June 2015 rolls around and Rollins is panicking as his contract expires soon and he needs to find a way to get rid of Ambrose.</font>

Imagine they hold MITB 2015 like a week or 2 before Rollins full year is up and Ambrose wins it. Rollins gets all sketchy about time running out the week after MITB, and cashes in at his last chance and wins the title, and then Ambrose immediately cashes his in to beat Rollins. Would be epic.

[Corkscrewed]

Really liked RAW tonight and the storylines they set up. Y2J vs Wyatt, AJ vs Paige, continuing Rollins vs Ambrose (this better end up being the feud of the year), Fandayla vs Zigglrae, tag team diversity. Good stuff. Quite good stuff.

[SNLfunnyguy]

~RVD that is all.

[Heisenberg]

:y:~RVD that is all.

[Rammsteinmad]

Honestly, this entire episode of Raw was pretty fantastic. :y:

Was anyone else besides me getting pumped for Swagger?

[VSG]

http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2014/07/20140630_RawGIF3.gif

I love when she does the little jigs :naughty:

[Vastardikai]

You know, the whole Swagger face turn segment worked about as well as I figured it would.

And WWE owes me money, cause I suggested it about 3 months ago. :shifty:

[drave]

Was anyone else besides me getting pumped for Swagger?

Gives Ziggles a concussion, takes out Barrett.

Fuck him :fu: Go "Russian"

[Rammsteinmad]

Swagger's "face turn" when everyone did "we the people" was amazing. I wouldn't mind seeing Swagger turn face.

[erickman]

i am glad they listened to me i said for over a month the all amarican amarican amarican smould face rusov not big e, but i fear he will do like sarg slauter and turn on the USA.

[Shisen Kopf]

There hasn't been a Shisen sign on tv in a month. Come on people.

[drave]

No one has the balls.

[Shisen Kopf]

Droford had awesome seats and yet no sign :(:wavesad:

[ClockShot]

Huh. It was in Hartford this time around. Not Bridgepit?

Was working late. Got home and saw Sandow doing a top notch Vinnie Mac impression. Only for Steph to kill it all. I'll watch the replay on Universal this weekend.

[XL]

Wonder how many times Orton and Cena have actually wrestled each other. That would be a staggering stat.
20 one-on-one matches. 66 times they've been including one-on-one, tag, multi-man matches.
Probably less than Kofi Kingston/Dolph Ziggler
Right. 26 one-on-ones, 73 times they've been opponents.
