WWE Raw 9/8 Thread featuring the Season Premiere of ......... Monday Night Football woooooo

[Emperor Smeat]

http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2014/09/20140904_LIGHT_5ptPreview_c-home2.jpg
Now this is a season premiere! Not only will the WWE Universe see a huge SummerSlam rematch between Roman Reigns and Randy Orton this Monday night, but we’ll also bear witness as Chris Jericho rekindles his rivalry with Bray Wyatt inside a steel cage at the top of the show. Oh, and to somehow resolve the ongoing issues between The Bella Twins, WWE has called in the heavy artillery: Jerry Springer!

Jerry Lawler couldn’t fix The Bella Twins’ strained relationship two weeks ago on Raw, but maybe Jerry Springer will have better luck. After serving as Raw guest star way back in 2010, the talk show titan returns to the WWE Universe to moderate an intervention between Nikki & Brie. Will TV’s master of family dysfunction have his hands full with this twin turmoil? Plus, how will this intervention change the complexion of the Divas Championship Triple Threat Match at Night of Champions?

Look out for airborne chairs, high heels and whatever else The Bella Twins get their hands on as Springer tries to keep the peace tonight.

[Droford]

Its pretty cool seeing the cage over the ring.

[Droford]

My seats are directly by the women's restroom Benoit and Sullivan fought in at GAB 96. No one else in my section remembered that.

[Savio]

No Lesnar?

Color me sad.

[road doggy dogg]

Calvin Johnson would fucking murder Brock Lesnar

MEGATRONNNNNNNN

[road doggy dogg]

plz inform me HERE PLZ PLZ PLZ (http://www.tpwwforums.com/showthread.php?t=124691) if THE DEACON Batista shows up tonight so I can be happy I am not eliminated from Poit's game

[Lock Jaw]

Looking forward to the Bella segment tonight!!!

[Lock Jaw]

Entering the King of the Ring finals in WWE Supercard on my mobile device....

[Cool King]

I was thinking of giving tonight a miss and just watching it tomorrow, just so I can skip past the Bella/Springer segment, but I've decided to watch LIVE afterall.

I'm sure the Bella/Springer segment is going to be just death to watch.

[ClockShot]

Wasn't aware Raw had "seasons".

[Dark One]

Wasn't aware Raw had "seasons".

The season begins when there's an event they're afraid of tanking ratings and ends when you forget that it's a thing.

[Lock Jaw]

Those lights on Jericho's jacket should be VU Meters

[Cool King]

I forgot that Jericho had his countdown back.

[Lock Jaw]

Bray Wyatt's theme is my jam

[Cool King]

Bray Wyatt's theme is my jam

I was just listening to that today.

[Lock Jaw]

Jerry Lawler insinuating this is a fake steel cage

[Savio]

Did they say they are both undefeated in steel cage matches?

Top of the cage looks a bit different tonight.... or maybe it is just me....

[Savio]

it is triangle shape instead of square

[Cool King]

it is triangle shape instead of square

Illuminati.

[Lock Jaw]

Wyatt does a great Book End

[Savio]

ROCK BOTTOM!

[ClockShot]

JUMPER!

[Lock Jaw]

Nasty collision

[Cool King]

Wow, Jericho.

I didn't expect that from him.

[Lock Jaw]

Some quality rape screengrabs here

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty interesting end, I guess. Don't recall ever seeing a cage match end with two people battling in the doorway like that.

[Dark One]

Some quality rape screengrabs here

VINTAGE BRAY WYATT

[Cool King]

Some quality rape screengrabs here

And audio too.

[ClockShot]

Jericho due for a break?

[Dark One]

Guess Jericho won't be having a match at NOC.

[Lock Jaw]

Bray Wyatt: "THIS IS FOR ALL OF YOU THAT DIDN'T VOTE FOR TAZZ DAN!!"

[Dark One]

Jericho due for a break?

His latest tour of duty is about done--supposedly after Night of Champions. May have decided to end it here rather than wedge in a PPV match.

[Emperor Smeat]

Good cage match. The way Bray just awkwardly rolled out made it seem like a botch ending.

Jericho due for a break?
Fozzy is touring again very soon.

Maurice!

[Lock Jaw]

Let's get weird

[Dark One]

Not enough Maryse in those photos.

[road doggy dogg]

Wasn't aware Raw had "seasons".

You know, that's something they should really consider doing. Buncha reasons for it that I won't get into here because I am watching DETROIT FOOTBALL LIONS etc

[Cool King]

What's so weird about a wrestler shaving his chest?

[Corndad]

Sandow has the same gimmick every week at least now.

[ClockShot]

Going on 3 weeks now with Sandow in this gimmick. This might be a good thing.

[Savio]

WWE doesn't go to Baltimore that often do they?

[Lock Jaw]

Needs more Ass Cream

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

No Maurice=no buy.

[Cool King]

http://oi61.tinypic.com/2ewo7c6.jpg

[ClockShot]

They are REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLY pushing Springer tonight, aren't they?



Isn't Michael Sam supposed to be dropping by, too?

[Savio]

The Fappening continues

[Savio]

They are REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLY pushing Springer tonight, aren't they?



Isn't Michael Sam supposed to be dropping by, too?
He declined

[Cool King]

Hey, maybe we'll see Rosa's ass tonight.

[Lock Jaw]

Rosa Mendes TV time up 500%

[Lock Jaw]

"That's a man baby" sign for Rosa

[Innovator]

Great 15 seconds of Paige and Natalya

[Emperor Smeat]

So did Paige channel the spirit of Aksana recently for those antics?

[ClockShot]

Just make out already!

Gotta wait until after 10 o'clock for that.

[Corndad]

Holy Crap an AJ LEE CHANT. Not a CM PUNK chant. a FREAKIN AJ LEE CHANT.

[#1-norm-fan]

Hmm. They're turning Rosa never winning into a storyline apparently. Nice.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Hmm. They're turning Rosa never winning into a storyline apparently. Nice.

She's a drunk and on total divas. That's the storyline I think.

[Dark One]

Holy Crap an AJ LEE CHANT. Not a CM PUNK chant. a FREAKIN AJ LEE CHANT.

Only after they got it out of their system at the start.

[Lock Jaw]

They should have Randy Orton deliver beatings to random people all night and then say "Sorry, it is the season premiere"

[Lock Jaw]

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Don't ruin a Heyman promo Cena.

[Dark One]

John Cena is really good at granting wishes.

[ClockShot]

So, the John Cena 5 Moves of Doom ain't the secret?

[Corndad]

Cena jab at Taker? Really.

[Cool King]

Cena taking a shot at Undertaker?

[owenbrown]

Is Paul Heyman high?! He been in the back with RVD? Don't tell Cena jack shit.

[Corndad]

LOL Heyman. That will be a video played over and over again...

CENA SUCKS CENA SUCKS CENA SUCKS

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Heyman

[Lock Jaw]

Embrace the hate

[Corndad]

Heyman. We have been trying to turn him Heel for years. Ain't happening.

[Cool King]

Rise Above Hat.

[ClockShot]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn Paul.

[Dark One]

That Kane feud would have been 10000x better if Kane had just had Heyman cut this promo for him.

[Cool King]

Heyman. We have been trying to turn him Heel for years. Ain't happening.

If anyone can do it, it's Heyman.

[Corndad]

Heyman should get an entire hour every week.

[Emperor Smeat]

Heyman's amazing right now. Tonight's promo might even be topping the Cena rap promo he gave weeks ago.

[road doggy dogg]

I'm not watching, but I feel Dark One's post could easily be edited to apply to any situation on any given Raw:

That [INSERT WRESTLER] feud would have been 10000x better if [INSERT WRESTLER] had just had Heyman cut this promo for him.

[Corndad]

Go all Nikki Bella Cena. Do it.

[ClockShot]

Sounds like these chants are piped in.

[Dark One]

Heyman should get an entire hour every week.

MONDAY NIGHT HEYMAN, FEATURING PAUL HEYMAN, WITH A SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCE BY PAUL HEYMAN

John Cena vs. The Elite

[Dark One]

"Wife beater" is a dangerous phrase around them parts right now, John.

[#1-norm-fan]

Aww. For a split second it sounded like Cena was about to say "Shut up, all of you!" Would have been hilariously odd.

[Dark One]

I'm not watching, but I feel Dark One's post could easily be edited to apply to any situation on any given Raw:

That Kane feud would have been 10000x better if Kane had just had Heyman cut this promo for him.



It's simple:

We clone Paul Heyman.

[Dukelorange]

Anybody got have AJ & Paige animated gifs of that match?

[owenbrown]

well I knew he was gonna tell Paul E. to shut up

[dronepool]

Good promo.

[Innovator]

It's simple

We drill

[Dark One]

"Be John Cena, repeat. Be John Cena, repeat. Be John Cena, repeat. Be John Cena, repeat. Be John Cena, repeat. Be John Cena, repeat. Be John Cena, repeat. Be John Cena, repeat. Be John Cena, repeat. Be John Cena, repeat. Be John Cena, repeat. Be John Cena, repeat."

That also describes the title scene for the past ten years.

http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140122000406/random-ness/images/9/95/Ba_dum_tss.gif

[rockman725]

A Cena heel turn at NOC would be absolutely amazing after this promo.

[Corndad]

He's goin all Make a Wish.

[Cool King]

Cena has a Purple Heart now?

[Dark One]

Cena has a Purple Heart now?

Gotta match the shirts.

So, apparently the secret to making John Cena a compelling face is to have him go back and forth with Paul Heyman.

Which is again true for [insert wrestler here].

[Lock Jaw]

John Cena reminding me why he is amazing right now

[owenbrown]

BAH GAWD THAT MAN HAS A FAMILY sign in the crowd :lol:

[Dukelorange]

Just when you think Cena is straight corny, he cuts a promo like this...

[Lock Jaw]

Anybody got have AJ & Paige animated gifs of that match?

[Lock Jaw]

How long until "Be John Cena" is a T-shirt?

[Cool King]

How long until "Be John Cena" is a T-shirt?

I give it a week at the most.

[Dark One]

That siren is still terrible.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Sheamoose loses!

[Lock Jaw]

Hashtag Cesaro's Huge Nipples

[Corndad]

Cesaro as US Champion again wouldn't suck. Also may lead to a Sheamus Heel Run, which also wouldn't suck.

[Cool King]

Gambling is just the beginning, apparently.

[Savio]

They really should have Heyman do commentary.

[Emperor Smeat]

So is the Springer thing going to be the main event segment?

[Cool King]

So is the Springer thing going to be the main event segment?

It'll probably be just before the Main Event of Orton/Reigns.

[Savio]

It'll probably be just before the Main Event of Orton/Reigns.
Every important segment happens during the top of each hour.

[Lock Jaw]

It should be the main event

[Lock Jaw]

Dry tea dry tea

Russian anthem so manly

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

WIG SPLITTING TIME!

[Cool King]

I love the Russian National Anthem.

It's so good.

[Lock Jaw]

Interrupting the anthem. Complete disrespect to their entire country.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Mark Henry loses the feud by letting that promo go uninterrupted.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

HOLY SHIT!

[Corndad]

HELL YES.

[Cool King]

WHOA!




































Tyson Kidd has a match on Raw!?

[Dark One]

The real question:

Will they have an NXT match, or a 3 minute Raw match?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

ole

[Dark One]

They cut Breeze's entrance? BULLSHIT.

[Poit]

Ole chant for Sami Zayn on Raw.

Nowhere Man just came.

[Lock Jaw]

Whoa....

Weeks behind on NXT. Now this. I should catch up.

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: Ole chants.

[Cool King]

I'm not a fan of the Olé chants.

Is this El Generico?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

[Lock Jaw]

Good showcase

[Corndad]

Most exciting 5 mins in a while.

[dronepool]

I like that NXT champ.

[Cool King]

The way they're talking about Neville, just reminds me of the way they spoke about Evan Bourne when he started in the WWE.

[Dark One]

Well, that went better than that one WCW title match on Raw or Smackdown with Buff Bagwell in it.

[Lock Jaw]

Definitely gonna catch up... I don't even know how many weeks behind I am....

[Innovator]

I will take thousands of jerry springer segments if you give me nxt spotlight matches

[#1-norm-fan]

I leave for 20 minutes and everyone's talking about NXT. What the fuck did I just miss???

[Lock Jaw]

I leave for 20 minutes and everyone's talking about NXT. What the fuck did I just miss???

NXT

[Emperor Smeat]

Definitely gonna catch up... I don't even know how many weeks behind I am....

Probably only really need the last two weeks to catch up and maybe another 2 weeks more if you really want to see the whole #1 contender tag tournament.

[Dark One]

I leave for 20 minutes and everyone's talking about NXT. What the fuck did I just miss???

Adrian Neville, Tyler Breeze, Sami Zayn, Corey Graves, Adam Rose, Enzo Amore, and the Ascension became The New Nexus and beat up Michael Cole and John Cena for fifteen minutes.

Just kidding, they had a Neville + Zayn vs. Kidd + Breeze tag match to sell Takeover 2.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I leave for 20 minutes and everyone's talking about NXT. What the fuck did I just miss???

Sammy Zayn and Adrian Neville Vs. Tyler Breeze and Tyson Kidd.

[Cool King]

I must be missing something.

Everyone seems to be jizzing about the NXT match, while I'm just....

http://media.giphy.com/media/PYEGoZXABBMuk/giphy.gif

[Corndad]

Should have done Springer first then NXT to wake the crowd back up. Then again. Now everyone is googling NXT and ain't watching Springer/Bella atrocity anyway.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It's Springer Time!

JJ doesn't know whether his button coat button should be closed or open

Did JJ's jacket shrink in the wash or something?

[Corndad]

JJ just turned Heel... then Face. In 2 seconds.

[Poit]

Bella brother is kinda cute.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Steeeeeeeeeeeeve!!

[Dark One]

Did they get David Beckham to play JJ?

[Lock Jaw]

JJ should snap and beat them both

[Poit]

Cole: "Down goes JJ!"
King: "Who cares?"

[Corndad]

Bring NXT back out for Christ sake.

[Cool King]

Cole: OH! That was JJ!
JBL: Who cares?

Well said JBL. Well said.

[Dark One]

Kind of disappointed JJ Bella wasn't Jeff Jarrett or at least come out to the "J-e-double-F"

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Steve wouldn't have put up with that.

[Emperor Smeat]

Is Russo consulting again?

Jerry Springer injury angle

#endofdaysisnear

[owenbrown]

there isn't enough alcohol in the entire universe to save me from this awful segment

[Cool King]

Springer: This is humiliating.

I can't help but think that a part of that is how he was really feeling.

[Lock Jaw]

Holy shit, did Jerry Springer just get legit injured? lol

It's a work. He's going to come back as a badass submission machine and submit both Bellas in the middle of the ring.

[#1-norm-fan]

I assume Jerry and Stephanie wouldn't have been smiling if that was an angle. That was weird.

Like... weirder than a Jerry Springer wrestling angle in 2014 already is.

SLATER GATOR

SLATOR GATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heath Slater BURIED by a guy in a bunny suit

That man? Triple H.

Is that still a thing? I don't even know any more.

[Dark One]

Dean Ambrose is in the bunny suit

[Cool King]

If you're Adam Rose, you know something is wrong when a man dressed as a bunny is the main focus of your matches and is spoken about more than you.

[Dark One]

How does Michael Cole sleep at night with lines like that?

[Emperor Smeat]

So how long until the bunny turns on Rose and JBL starts gushing praise towards the bunny?

[owenbrown]

what... the FUCK?!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The Bunny is over and Adam Rose is not.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Baby girl.

[Savio]

Terrible promo

[Cool King]

It's just a matter of time now until that bunny turns on Rose and whoever it is, takes the head off to reveal their face.

I say it's Ryder, and his reason for being the Bunny is so he can get matches and "the spotlight".

[Lock Jaw]

Bunny should be Brock Lesnar's next opponent

Every time there's a cage/cell above the ring, there's always a moment where I think "Fuck, it would suck if the cables holding it up broke and the cage came crashing down."

It would be 20 minutes before it was on YouTube overlaid with this theme:

Going to tear apart the ring and collapse it with Reigns in it?

[Corndad]

Perfect time for Ambrose to show up.

Seth Rollins almost got impaled there.

[Emperor Smeat]

Rollins almost got impaled by that nail thingy from the cage.

Seth almost died.

I just... I care so little about Roman Reigns now.

[Lock Jaw]

Good ending.... the fans are going to be so hot for both Ambrose and Reigns to return together.

[Cool King]

I just... I care so little about Roman Reigns now.

Me too.

I don't know if it was the match, or the fact that it was 3:50am here when the match started, but as the match progressed, I found myself slowly getting more and more tired.

[Dark One]

Pretty mixed Raw.

The John Cena / Heyman segment was amazing. Bray/Jericho and the NXT tag match was good. Sheamus / Rollings was decent.

But god damn, that third out was painful as hell until the latter half of Orton/Reigns.

[Cool King]

Wow, I got the ol' neg rep from STD, for not having a wank over the NXT match.

Considering he ended up getting in the cage anyway, I wonder if he was supposed to get in right there and that happened. Then again, I'm not so sure he'd call jumping on Reigns in order to get in the cage on the fly.

I'm sorry, WWE has completely lost the ability to book a beatdown properly.

With the way he was fumbling around, doesn't seem like he was meant to go in at that time. Probably was going for the comedic effect had that large nail not been there.
