Or rollins will DQ himself with chair

Man, I really wish the announcers put more effort in selling the free one-week preview of the WWE network.

[GD]

Whoa! I am not required to provide my credit card information in order to get the one-week preview of the WWE network? That is so neat.

WWE is offering a free one week trial of the network!? I had no idea, they should mention it a time or two on air or something...

[Dark One]

I want to see the tantrum after Bo's first loss

[Cool King]

Rollins will make it into a title match, but before the bell rings, Ambrose runs out and attacks him, resulting in the non-title match ending via DQ.

I know, right? I bet you did not know about the Monday Night Wars documentary exclusively on the WWE Network.

[slik]

Good God, it's scrolling now...

[GD]

There is a title match and a Highlight Reel segment on WWE Main Event tomorrow which is exclusive to the WWE Network :eek:

[James Steele]

Holy shit, the WM Rewind they are airing this week is about CM Punk's MITB win at WM25.

[slik]

Wow, I bet one of these days they will air reruns of Total Divas or a Legends House marathon!!!

[Cool King]

I really like Reign's minitron.

[Corndad]

As a paying WWE Network subscriber already don't know how I feel about these constant free week promos

[GD]

Lil' Naitch! Bah Gawd!

[Savio]

his shoulder is fine

[GD]

Wow, I bet one of these days they will air reruns of Total Divas or a Legends House marathon!!!

The critically acclaimed Legends House :yes:

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. Can we get an official rule on what constitutes the contract being cashed in? I was pretty sure it was when it's handed over to an official.

[Emperor Smeat]

Hate he carries the belts like that.

Supposedly its because both belts got welded together for some odd reason.

[GD]

Ooooooh...get a room you two :roll:

[Cool King]

And so the show ends with everyone booing Cena.

[James Steele]

I'm pretty sure the precedent is that the bell has to ring. They did a similar angle with Ziggler.

[GD]

Supposedly its because both belts got welded together for some odd reason.

I call BS on that :cool:

[#1-norm-fan]

I'm pretty sure the precedent is that the bell has to ring. They did a similar angle with Ziggler.

So basically once the case gets handed in, it's up to the referee to decide if/when it's cashed in?

[slik]

Seth Rollins kind of reminds me of Edge

This is a good thing

[Cool King]

I'm pretty sure the precedent is that the bell has to ring. They did a similar angle with Ziggler.

Yeah, I've always thought that the bell had to ring first.

[Dark One]

Pretty weak Raw after last week's amazing show. Lots of boggling losses and the biggest event to come out of the show was the Funkadactyls going extinct and Roman Reigns saying "Bitch."

I'll give this Raw two Shockmasters out of five.

[Cool King]

So basically once the case gets handed in, it's up to the referee to decide if/when it's cashed in?

Kinda. Last week the referee took about five minutes to ring the bell. But as well all know, Ambrose stopped that just as the bell was about to be rung.

[James Steele]

So basically once the case gets handed in, it's up to the referee to decide if/when it's cashed in?

It isn't technically cashed in until the title match begins. What is so shocking about this? They've done this with Ziggler, Del Rio, and maybe even Edge.

[slik]

I give this RAW Two Tugboats out of five

[James Steele]

If they counted it as cashed in without the match ever starting, that'd be bullshit and way too easy for Mr. MITB to get screwed out of his case. I remember both Edge and Punk begging the ref to hurry up and ring the bell so they could start the match and cash in.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It's the Monday Night War Sheppard.

[#1-norm-fan]

So like I said, it's up to the referee. Why wouldn't he begin the match once the case is cashed in?

[James Steele]

I give this episode of Raw a solid 1 "H" out of 3.

http://www.clker.com/cliparts/B/i/a/V/l/9/green-h-hi.png

[#1-norm-fan]

Also, Ambrose should probably just wait til the match begins next time to attack. Save himself a lot of trouble trying to stop it every week.

[James Steele]

So like I said, it's up to the referee. Why wouldn't he begin the match once the case is cashed in?

They usually required both men to at least be standing and in the ring for the match to start. Have you not been watching wrestling for the past 9 years?

[James Steele]

Of all the shit to overthink, overanalyze, and bitch about...it's that?

[#1-norm-fan]

You mean like when Daniel Bryan cashed in on Big Show without Show ever getting up? Yeah, it's definitely an issue of "me not watching for the past 9 years" and not an issue of major rules changing to fit situations randomly. :roll:

[James Steele]

I said generally. Common sense says you go by 90% of the cash-ins instead of the 1 that fits your argument.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Daniel Bryan got cashed in without being standing along with Punk/Del Rio at Summerslam.

[slik]

I give this RAW two knuckleheads out of four

http://www.wrestlecrap.com/induction%20files/knucklehead/knucklehead0.jpg

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

But I think they changed the rules for the Big Show because it would take too long for his fatass to get up after getting knocked down.

[James Steele]

The Authority/Powers that be were basically screwing those guys over though, so it made sense. The Big Show deal is just the occasional incontinuity that pops up in WWE from time to time.

[#1-norm-fan]

I said generally. Common sense says you go by 90% of the cash-ins instead of the 1 that fits your argument.

Oh, also Orton cashing in on Bryan.

Oh, and that other one STD mentioned.

Of course, there could be more too. But yeah, I think three is enough to say they should probably be more organized and have the rules set up.

BUT AS LONG AS YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT IT, IT ALL MAKES SENSE, RIGHT!?

[#1-norm-fan]

So you're pointing out that there's been discontinuity in the whole MITB cash-in thing. Awesome. We agree.

[James Steele]

I like that WWE has some different interviews for this Monday Night War. They have Luger, updated Hogan, updated Vince, and Undertaker.

[James Steele]

It still has always been that the bell has to ring for the cash-in to count in recent WWE history. It'd be retarded for the briefcase to be "consumed" as soon as he hands it to the ref. This Ambrose/Rollins angle would have already been over.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I give Raw two Mike Adamles out of 4

[James Steele]

I miss Shelton Benjamin.

[#1-norm-fan]

Oh, Edge cashed it in on a passed out Undertaker, too.

Now that I'm going back and looking it may be closer to 50% of the time when there's a surprise cash-in, the champion is not on his feet.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

New interview with Tony Shivonay for this! Hope they can get new Bischoff stuff.

[James Steele]

Zeb Colter interviews too. God, I hope they get the Memphis library.

[James Steele]

Damn. Hogan was really bad about saying "the WCW".

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yeah early on it was obvious he still wanted to be in the WWF with that.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

What would the Monday Night War been like had it not been for that fucking dog show?

[James Steele]

They are giving WCW, Turner, and Bischoff their fair credit in this so far.

[James Steele]

Marking out for the old Nitro intro video.

[James Steele]

Remember when "Johnny Nitro" was Bischoff's lackey and used the Nitro theme for his theme music?

[James Steele]

Holy shit, they got Arn Anderson to drop kayfabe for this. He used to always protect kayfabe in these DVD docs.

[James Steele]

How much publicity has Lex Luger given "The Great Train Store" over the years. Also, The Miz is so fucking annoying in this.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

You took our least popular champion/belt

THIS MEANS WAR!

[Sepholio]

All these James Steele avatars are making me have a seizure again.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

How much publicity has Lex Luger given "The Great Train Store" over the years. Also, The Miz is so fucking annoying in this.

I thought they went out of business.

[James Steele]

Total Lex Luger move.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>This was a pretty boring Raw. Ambrose/Orton was really good and there were several other solid matches as well, but there was next to no storyline advancement at all. Could have easily skipped a week and not have missed any sort of development.</font>

[James Steele]

The Alundra Blaze throwing the belt in the trash thing can't be undervalued. If it wasn't for that stunt, Vince might not have been so paranoid about Bret taking the WWF Title to WCW and doing some similar stunt with it and feeling forced to go through with the Montreal Screwjob.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Hope this show leads them to put out the episodes of Raw and Nitro.

[James Steele]

Thought I read somewhere, they were going to start releasing Nitros by the end of the year.

Bolieve!

[Shadrick]

SPEAR! SUPERMAN PUNCH!



...........and that's the entirety of Reigns' moveset. And people complain about Cena

Yeah, because Cena's had 12 years.
