[Tazz Dan]

I'd be more entertained listening to Rusev's lawyer with the horrible fake accent from a couple of weeks back for the rest of the night, than listen to Saxton any longer.

[Lock Jaw]

Is Cena going to finally snap and turn heel in this match?

I think the odds are high!!!!!
























Can Cena overcome them?!

[slik]

Say what you will but Byron Saxton is ten times less obnoxious than JBL, Booker T or King.

[Dark One]

Pick who you'd rather have solo call Raw:

1) Mike Adamle

2) Byron Saxton

3) Alex Riley

4) Tony Schiavone

5) Mongo

6) Those dudes from Florida Georgia Line that called a match one time.

[slik]

Brock Lesnar is really an urban planner, he just grew the population of Suplex City by 5 bitches.

[Mercenary]

King
!

[Lock Jaw]

Should bring Brad Maddox out for commentary

[slik]

Oh God, King is here...

[Simple Fan]

King yes

[Volare]

ladiesngentlementblurblurblur

[Tazz Dan]

Holy Shit. Lawyer actually saving the day?!?

[Dark One]

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY TO SEE KING ON COMMENTARY.

OH THANK GOD.

[Droford]

I'm not sure Lawler can help

[KIRA]

wait wait saxton and lawler thank you lawler

[RawRocks]

Jerry save us

[Lock Jaw]

Lawler helping by having expression and enthusiasm in his voice.

[ClockShot]

DA DADA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Jerry Lawler saves the day.

[Dark One]

Can't wait for the report on how pissed off Vince was at Saxton.

Saxton should steal Axelmania's "DON'T CHANGE THE CHANNEL!" catchphrase.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

King finally.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Byron Saxton must have listened to Todd Grisham's call of Christian's return on ECW to get prepared for this show.</font>

[road doggy dogg]

Can't stand King but thank god

[slik]

Flashbacks to nightmarish Coachman/King commentary

[KIRA]

I'm not sure Lawler can help

At this point he can only do good things

[Crimson]

King is trying lol. Can he dig us out of the black hole known as the Saxtonsleeper?

[Dark One]

I'm not sure Lawler can help

He is old and it is after 6PM here on the west coast. It's possible Byron "Unisom" Saxton might get him to pass out.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Can't wait to see the reports on whether or not King was sent out as a mercy move.</font>

[Dark One]

You know who would really save commentary?

#GiveTruthaChance

[Droford]

Dean only knows one way to jump off high things

[Dark One]

<font color=goldenrod>Can't wait to see the reports on whether or not King was sent out as a mercy move.</font>

We'll know if Tom Phillips takes his rightful place back at the Smackdown desk tomorrow.

[Dark One]

Dean Ambrose still with some extra HP from Mania to kick out of the AA.

And Byron Saxton reacts like he just read that Corn futures went up two cents in the Sunday paper.

[Crimson]

Botch

[ClockShot]

Oops.

[Droford]

Botch

[KIRA]

Really good match

[Simple Fan]

King adds so much

[Dark One]

Dean Ambrose kicked out of the Attitude Adjustment and escaped the STF. WHY IS NO ONE ACTING LIKE THIS IS A BIG DEAL?

[Droford]

I thought cena was going to do a gts

[RawRocks]

twitter is not kind to Byron Saxton

[Corndad]

Hey... An STF actually put on right.

[Simple Fan]

Ambrose got it locked in right

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Ambrose doing the STF.

[Dark One]

Ambrose applies Cena's STF to John Cena. Byron Saxton reacts like he just countered a wristlock.

[KIRA]

Saxton his voice is so even and neutral

[road doggy dogg]

I've gotta say, King is not doing awful right now.

UUUUUURRRRRGGGHHHHH Ambrose. :'(

[owenbrown]

boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Lock Jaw]

Dude goes from rarely losing in The Shield to <s>barely</s>never winning on his own.

[KIRA]

heel ambrose please!

[Droford]

Heel turn for Mr fringe

[Emperor Smeat]

Good match overall.

[Dark One]

Since a lot of commentary made that match seem like an average Superstars match, I feel the need to note a few things:

Dean Ambrose kicked out of the Attitude Adjustment

Dean Ambrose survived being in the STF for nearly a minute

Dean Ambrose got a nearfall off of Dirty Deeds on John Cena

Dean Ambrose got to exchange finisher counters with John Cena four or five times

[Lock Jaw]

Ambrose was red hot and now he is nothing....

[owenbrown]

#ambroseburiedandfutureendeavored

[Lock Jaw]

AWOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOO

[Savio]

The contrast between Jerry and Saxton makes Saxton sound worse.

[RawRocks]

Saxton is dragging King to his level

[road doggy dogg]

Wait, you guys are taking a negative out of that match? The fuck is wrong with you?

[owenbrown]

p.s. I hate corporate Lock Jaw

You incorrectly assume I have a voice at this point.

[road doggy dogg]

Renee :love:

[Dark One]

Wait, you guys are taking a negative out of that match? The fuck is wrong with you?

AMBROSE SURVIVED CENA'S OFFENSE BETTER THAN RUSEV DID LAST NIGHT. Come on people. He's not going to beat Cena 24 hours after Cena wins the US title when he hasn't won a high profile match in ages. This is a start. Better than anything else that's happened to him in months.

[KIRA]

#SAXTONISPUREWHITENOISE

It's a miracle....SETH IS HEALED...and over his jet lag

[Lock Jaw]

Wonder if an NXT diva is gonna debut

[Dark One]

AJ with a Bayley shirt!

Bracing for CM Punk chants.

[Mercenary]

Well if Paige is a hugger.....

[Lock Jaw]

Well Reigns is one... who's the second partner?

The long awaited debut of..... MOJO RAWLEY

TRY DAMN IT!

Thought it said "HLA" on the back of Cena's shirt....

Same here.

[RVDmark]

Well Reigns is one... who's the second partner?

Lesnar, Rocky, Bo Dallas. Vote now on the WWE APP.

[Poit]

Oh come on. Naomi?

Vince in his ear, also first time on commentary on Raw and he's solo. Big pressure right there.

They should have a Saxton roast

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I fall more in love with Paige every time I see her.</font> :heart:

[el bobbo]

This is some hot diva-on-diva action.

[RVDmark]

What are they chanting?

[Emperor Smeat]

Ringside crew must be stuck in catering if the table still hasn't been flipped over or repaired.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>The crowd doesn't seem to care about this match because they're conditioned to not care about divas matches at all...but I'm glad it's getting time. Hopefully a step in the right direction.</font>

I think there was a legit "Let's go AJ" chant. And no CM Punk chant.

Way to go Poit.

[RVDmark]

I think they're hoping for Bailey or Ronda. I'm hoping for both.

[road doggy dogg]

Are they chanting "let's go divas" ?

[Lock Jaw]

Are they chanting "Let's go Divas"?

[road doggy dogg]

that underboob shot of AJ kind of grossed me out.. all ribs

Is the table like Thors hammer it can only be lifted by Brock

[Emperor Smeat]

Divas match was good.


she still uses brodus' music? that's... awkward
Funkadactyls took the music when they split from Brodus.

[Poit]

I'm glad the CM Punk chants were booed down and replaced with AJ Lee chants.

Did you guys not hear the "you suck Cena" chats for Nikki?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Ryback? Boourns.</font>

[road doggy dogg]

WHY DON'T THEY MAKE EYE CONTACT

[Droford]

Rollins is 4-46 in his last 50 matches (http://www.profightdb.com/wrestlers/seth-rollins-3328.html)

I guess that's good news for some other people

You can't count house shows for a main event heel.

They're going to lose almost every one of them. That's basically the most skewed "data" possible. What's his record over his past 50 televised matches? I'm going to guess a fuckload better.

[CSL]

lol Cole's starfish impression when taking that F5

[Lock Jaw]

Looked up and thought for a second that graphic of Sheamus was Enzo Amore

If Orton comes out and says something like "you have the Demon Kane, but I found a demon of our own", and then introduces Balor, I will mark the fuck out.

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah I mean I'm expecting Reigns to be the third man and everything but surely WWE realize it'll be shit on pretty severely if that's the case.</font>

could the demon kane return at least..

Goldust got in like a few punches.

Really? I don't know, the general feeling I get is that most people don't hate Reigns so much after last night

[Emperor Smeat]

Did Big Show forget to bring the Andre statue?

[Crimson]

At least the trophy didn't get destroyed like last yeat

[road doggy dogg]

\_0__/

[road doggy dogg]

Love Ryback's theme....

Zack Ryder?

[Lock Jaw]

Roman is a Wank Pheasant

[Crimson]

The good news; Reigns didn't get a mic tonight.

[road doggy dogg]

ROMAN IS A WANK PHEASANT sign doing an encore tonight :y:

[el bobbo]

The smile went off the face of Seth Rollins, and the rest of the arena.

[Droford]

The only way there's a shocking thing happening tonight is if Reigns turns on Orton and Ryback and joins Rollins and the Authority

And then I came up with that idea earlier so I'd be fucking nostradamus, especially if Ambrose comes out too

[Evil Vito]

Really? I don't know, the general feeling I get is that most people don't hate Reigns so much after last night

<font color=goldenrod>It's the fact that they hyped a third mystery guy and then made it the most obvious choice ever more than anything. They could have easily just had Reigns show up backstage in that initial confrontation.</font>

[Lock Jaw]

Ryback and Reigns in the same ring just highlights how much better Ryback is so far (if only he would stop constantly chanting Feed Me More)

sami zayn

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah struggling to see how this ends with a "shock" ending that some are calling for. Faces stand tall as the announcers remind us to watch the Sting interview on WWE.com I suppose.

Interested in seeing if they go with Rollins/Reigns at Extreme Rules or Rollins/Orton. Both guys have cases. Not sure why the Authority would willingly put Rollins in a triple threat so I imagine it'll be a one-on-one deal.</font>

[Lock Jaw]

Are they chanting Hideo?

I believe that one was "We are awesome". They've stopped trying to reference wrestling in any way I think.

[Crimson]

Ryback looks like Kurt Angle

[road doggy dogg]

DA BIG GUY

[RawRocks]

Did Ryback just do that?!?!?!

[road doggy dogg]

That Shellshock on Show was amazing. Why couldn't they let him do that at WM?! and still let Big Show win, but give Ryback that moment..

[Corndad]

Saxton reminds me of the Color Commentator from Major League 2 but less funny.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Come on. Kane takes the RKO but totally no-sells it so he can get up and be in line for the Spear. Hate endings like that.</font>

[Simple Fan]

Well Raw ended softly.

[road doggy dogg]

That ending was shitte. Can't they hear everyone taking a huge dump on this dude?

to be fair they would take a shit on anyone who wasn't an NXT wrestler at that point, so that doesn't tell us anything

Despite Reigns, that face team was the massive crowd favorites even with a smark crowd. Wrestling actually made sense.

[Maluco]

<font color=goldenrod>Come on. Kane takes the RKO but totally no-sells it so he can get up and be in line for the Spear. Hate endings like that.</font>


Kane is an awful seller anyway, goes down on one knee for every move like that. Pedigree, RKO, you name it.

[Droford]

They pretty much killed the aura around the post wm raw

[Emperor Smeat]

Shellshock to Big Show was great but King/Saxton did a really bad job hyping it.

[RVDmark]

Crowd hyped for themselves or not, still the most entertaining match involving Big Show & Kane in a long while.

[Corkscrewed]

So based on this entire thread, I get the sense that they started RAW on the high that was an excellent WrestleMania and amazing show ending, then spent the entire rest of the show dialing it back all the way down to normal meh rest-of-the-year WWE programming. And now we're back at ho hum.

[road doggy dogg]

when you've been the company's whipping boy for as long as he has and mired in midcard hell your entire career, you're allowed to take moves off IMO

[RVDmark]

Hang on, the sting interview is in-ring. Cool.

[Corkscrewed]

P.S. The dial was Saxton.

Honestly Saxon killed a ton of momentum on the broadcast. May have been much better in person.

[Savio]

one of the title matches should have closed the show

[Dark One]

The show definitely climaxed at the start of Hour 2, like this:

http://i44.tinypic.com/5pihjb.jpg

Lesnar murdering everyone was obviously going to be way better than the main event. I think the show would have probably gon ea bit better had they not tried to have Byron Unisom Saxton try to pull a Joey Styles.

Cena/Ambrose was a really good match that did more for Ambrose than anything in the past four months, but, you know, you couldn't tell based on Saxton calling a fucking golf tournament.

Divas match was great, and people are starting to care.

Main event was decent, but given the rest of the show up to that point--and especially the first hour--a generic six man tag between guys where half the guys are generally greeted with apathy isn't going to compare.

All said, this is still a better 24+ hours than WWE has put out in a long long time. I'd say all of Mania and at least the first half of this show buys enough good will for them to skate by with a bit of a drop off in hour three.

Just never ever ever put Byron Saxton out there alone--or ever--again.

[RVDmark]

Best since that one match where they randomly decided to be mat technicians and it was hilariously awkward.

That was awesome, wasn't that the lead in for the May 19th crap?
