WWE RAW 5/25 dedicated in honor of Tazz Dan's memory

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

NEW DAY!

[Dark One]

Paige and Tamina do not work well together.

After that, I feel the need to post this as a palate cleanser:

[DAMN iNATOR]

lol the ref saw that. Black ref cheated for Black/Islanders team over white.

Nigga stole my match!

[Dark One]

Camerawork is pretty sloppy today. They missed a bunch of Cena/Ryder spots to flash looks at the Entourage goofs and now they missed an apron spot to look at the Bellas at the announcers' table.

Please do not blame the camerawork. I am sure the camera people had those shots.

Fair enough.

GOD DAMN KEVIN DUNN is pretty sloppy on switching angles today. They missed a bunch of Cena/Ryder spots to flash looks at the Entourage goofs and now they missed an apron spot to look at the Bellas at the announcers' table.

[Lock Jaw]

Every time Big E says "FEEL THE POWER" I think of this dude

[Tom Guycott]

New Day... from Goodstreet, USA! The farther up you go, the more sickenly saccharine it gets. And they live in the last, judgmental, condescending church on the left!

[Droford]

It's wierd I share a birthday with Bo Dallas, Roman Reigns and Alberto Del..er..El Patron

[Dark One]

Tamina does sinister looking superkicks and her finish is a weak looking samoan drop?

Of The River. And happy birthday, you bastard you! :)

[Droford]

Cheap Heat

[Lock Jaw]

They need to make New Day Socks for them to toss out to the crowd when they chant

[Droford]

Lol 10 on 3

[DAMN iNATOR]

Of The River. And happy birthday, you bastard you! :)

Albert of the River if you want to translate his first name from español to inglés...

[Emperor Smeat]

Why does Kane suddenly not like New Day?

Seems a bit random.

[Tom Guycott]

Oh shit, Kane

[Droford]

They need to make New Day Socks for them to toss out to the crowd when they chant

New Day Slots to celebrate kofi winning $1500 @ a casino

[#1-norm-fan]

Why does Kane hate New Day?

[Droford]

Should have banned Xavier again and made it 10 on 2

[Fenix122]

Sooooo how soon before the brawl begins?

[Dark One]

Why does Kane hate New Day?

Kane does not like positivity. Remember what happened when he went to therapy?

[Poit]

I have a hard time believing the Primetime Players weigh more than the Ascension.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Sooooo how soon before the brawl begins?

Can't be too long...gotta ssve the last segment for "contract signing" shenanigans...

[Tom Guycott]

Man, I feel strange about Nattie dressing like a comic book villainess. On one hand, it looks stupid. On the other, its kinda hot.

[Simple Fan]

[#1-norm-fan]

... So WWE is definitely trying to subtly do a "black injustice" angle right now.

[Tom Guycott]

Albert of the River if you want to translate his first name from español to inglés...

Its actually a throwback joke to some poorly written indy event poster, where ADR was billed as "Alberto Of The River"

[Dark One]

These guys realize they're in an Elimination Chamber match and not the Rumble, right?

[#1-norm-fan]

I missed how the DQ happened.

[Dark One]

I missed how the DQ happened.

A mugging.

[#1-norm-fan]

A mugging.

Highly inappropriate.

[Droford]

It seems like maybe Bryan beat the odds but then the odds came back and kicked him square in the nuts..twice

[Dark One]

Highly inappropriate.

I didn't say it was by thugs or anything. Who am I? Shisen?

[Lock Jaw]

Bad form camera man... didn't tie his cable to his belt....

[Droford]

Seth Rollins goes to jail so he can't sign the contract once Ambrose comes back

[#1-norm-fan]

That cameraman was a pro. Didn't miss a beat after getting pushed from behind into Ambrose.

[Lock Jaw]

I like Steph's dress tonight....

[Dark One]

Can't wait for Roman Reigns to sign the contract instead and the crowd to begin the repurposing of the Nassau Coliseum early.

[Tom Guycott]

in a recoverable position, he should come back to "Final Countdown", only with "YES!" mixed in on the 1 beats

[Lock Jaw]

Seth Rollins's Laugh!

[Lock Jaw]

Sounded like she said "father of newborn shrivlets"

[Emperor Smeat]

JBL is sort of right, Ambrose still slugged the camerman. For all we know, Seth Rollins might have pulled an "Owen White" by being clumsy and tripping while walking by.

[Droford]

Oh shit Reigns used the ramp

[Poit]

Can't wait for Roman Reigns to sign the contract instead and the crowd to begin the repurposing of the Nassau Coliseum early.

Oh dear.

[Corndad]

When it Reigns.. It Bores. LOL

[Dark One]

It was that god damn Smackdowno Del Rampa Jr.

[Tom Guycott]

They tried so hard not to show that anti-Reigns sign

[Droford]

Holler if you hear me..oh

[Corndad]

HAHAHAHA Ambrose is dressed like a Cop

[Tom Guycott]

Taxi Master strikes again

[Poit]

It's a police... delivery truck?

[Dark One]

Oh dear.

Thank God someone else was right and crazy Dean Ambrose beat up all the police officers, stole a uniform, and then stole a police van.

[Tom Guycott]

... and the cameras missed the prime shot of him standing in the police truck door.

[Dark One]

Really liked Roman Reigns laughing victoriously after getting the shit kicked out of him again. That's a good gimmick.

[Emperor Smeat]

So Ambrose stole a police van?

Seems like that is a lot worse than beating up some no name cameraman.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Ambrose brought a nightstick but no Taser and/or Pepper Spray, maybe a pair of cuffs or two?

[#1-norm-fan]

Cameraman presses charges and has Ambrose arrested so he can't sign the contract. The Authority comes out at the end of the night to officially announce Ambrose has forfeited his title match only for the camera to catch Ambrose arriving in a cop car to kick ass and sign the contract.

Make it so.

Damn. Looks like Ambrose is gonna come back in a cop van and not a car. SO CLOSE!

WWE trying to outsmart my lawyers.

[Lock Jaw]

So Ambrose stole a police van?

Seems like that is a lot worse than beating up some no name cameraman.

He didn't steal anything.... once he was cleared of all charges, he commandeered the vehicle and uniform by going over the heads of the police by saying "I'm a wrestler, and I need these things right now"

[DAMN iNATOR]

Dunno about anyone else, but to me that siren on the paddy wagon sounded just like the one in Steiner's theme...

"It's the late shift, no one to fear."

[Jazzy Foot]

Tamina was hot tonight. Wooohooo would love to have wrestled her.


The highlight of what has otherwise been a downbeat evening.

[Dark One]

From the DVD Preview: Daniel Bryan's American Dragon outfit is kind of ridiculous.

Or at least it would be, if Brian Kendrick didn't look like the elven year old nephew of Eminem who stole some pajama pants from Walmart.

So, you're saying TBK dressed like Jack Evans?

[Dark One]

Hearing Michael Cole try to rationalize the WWE's "WHAT A NERD" "BACK TO THE MINOR LEAGUES WITH THIS TOOL" commentary from NXT Season 1 and how it was all a plan to nudge him to develop a personality and develop an "underdog character" is kind of uncomfortable.

[Dark One]

So, you're saying TBK dressed like Jack Evans?

I mean, looking at the photo, I'm not entirely sure TBK and Jack Evans aren't the same person.

[Dark One]

The preview for the Bryan DVD actually makes me want to pick it up. It should be pretty interesting, since it doesn't look like they're really trying to retcon what actually happened too much, other than Cole trying to rationalize the burying they did of Bryan when he came in.

I think this could be a good gimmick change for Ambrose

[Mr. Nerfect]

Why does Kane hate New Day?

I know it's a valid question, but I guess Kane might just not like positivity. Plus there was that time Xavier Woods petitioned against The Authority...

He should have just said Daniel Bryan made a believer out of him.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I miss Brian Kendrick. I hope that when Eva Marie returns, they put Kendrick in her corner and recognise that he trained her.
