All of them. To Lita.

Dammit. Beat me to it. Well played, sir. Well played.

[Volare]

CODY WE LOVE YOU DAMMIT!!

[GD]

[DAMN iNATOR]

Actually, I did give ONE for Sara Lee....

[DAMN iNATOR]

CODY WE LOVE YOU DAMMIT!!

IT'S NOT CODY! IT'S STARDUST!

[#1-norm-fan]

Stardust reminds me of Crispin Glover right now.

[Volare]

Neville vs Stardust should've main evented fuck that!!

[Tom Guycott]

Holy shit. This is a stacked RAW!

[Lock Jaw]

I guess Stardust is maybe still on a collision course with Stephen Amell for Summerslam....

[Tom Guycott]

Actually, I did give ONE for Sara Lee....

Nobody does it... ugh, no, nevermind.

[Dark One]

That comic book style bumper is pretty cool. Neat that they did something special for it.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Wait...why is the match promo given a comic book motif? Do people even read comic books anymore (besides LJ reading Superman's pal Jimmy Olsen comics)?

[#1-norm-fan]

I assumed they would have Stardust's return match against a face to get the cheers out of the way and let him give a little tribute to Dusty at the end before returning to normal heel mode.

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty sure it is still a huge industry, yeah.

[Tom Guycott]

Neville vs. <s> Mr. Sinister </s> Stardust. Winner faces The Hurricane!

An aside: promo just did his daddy, and his brother for that matter, proud.

Asks a guy who still watches wrestling.

[Lock Jaw]

Lillian forgot to call him THE NUDE SENSATION

[Volare]

Cmon Neville and Dust, keep up the awesome match streak up!

[Dark One]

If Barrett loses the KotR crown to R-Truth, he should probably just retire.

[Emperor Smeat]

If this is going to be a comic-themed feud, want to see Stardust bring out a gravity gun one of these weeks and zap Neville with it.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Pretty sure it is still a huge industry, yeah.

Guess it just seems sorta weird seeing as how "people don't read books and magazines I physical form" anymore, or maybe they do, I dunno.

Seems like the last book I bought in physical form was "Jacked: The Outlaw Story of Grand Theft Auto", but even with that, I bought it online (Amazon)...:-\

[Dark One]

Dirtsheets: They're holding off on Cody's return, because they don't want people to cheer him because of The Dream's death.

Reality: Cole mentions it being an emotional night for Cody because it's his first night back after The Dream passed.

You do realize that there are apps for that and it being in a digital format doesn't change the aesthetic, right?

[Volare]

Side Effect!

Reminds me of when Paul Burchill became a super villain to fued with The Hurricane on ECW. Good times. Should have been more though. A Superhero vs Super Villain stable war would have been kind of awesome.

Tons of people read books and magazines in physical form.....

Hey, now! That's dirty pool, man. I was asking legitimately, I wasn't trying to be judgmental or criticize people who do.

I mean, I occasionally still read MAD, I don't consider it a comic book necessarily, though...

[Tom Guycott]

So glad they didn't call Neville "the new sensation"...

Was that an Audio botch?

[DAMN iNATOR]

That's why I put that part in quotation marks. It's an ignorant perception perpetuated by stupid millennials.

Don't worry. It'll happen in 2019 when Vince sees the first Avengers movie.

[Volare]

Would've been better if Brock's shirt said...

SUPLEX CITY

Bad Street, Alanta, GA

[DAMN iNATOR]

Serengeti comment briefly made me think of the WWECW awfulness that was Marcus Cor Von and his stupid Pounce finisher, LOL. Not to mention that horrible theme he had.

[Volare]

Why am I smelling a Heyman swerve coming this Sunday?

[DAMN iNATOR]

Why am I smelling a Heyman swerve coming this Sunday?

Or Brock could become The Authority's new poster boy. Or both, even.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Brock Lesnar is now Big Josh.

[Volare]

The beast is a detective :)

[Tom Guycott]

Kane, bring me my brown pants

[Volare]

AHAHAHAHAHAH!!

[Dark One]

Brock Lesnar seems really good at remodeling and construction. He should host This Old House.

[Dark One]

WTF is this shit.

[Lock Jaw]

Why is Kane holding his knee from getting hit in the foot/ankle?

[Volare]

Welp, there goes human Kane.

[Dark One]

Brock Lesnar can move crazy fast for a guy his size.

[Emperor Smeat]

Lesnar's basically doing what Randy should have done in his feud against Rollins by taking out Rollins guys so none show up for the title match.

Also pretty much writing off the Authority as an actual force.

[Tom Guycott]

From Hawai'i to the hospital... poor Kane

[DAMN iNATOR]

Brock needs to finish him with a Kimura Lock now...

[Dark One]

Goodnight sweet prince.

[#1-norm-fan]

I was afraid they were gonna go with the insanely retarded "Brock Lesnar: Face in peril" thing again. This sells the PPV MUCH better.

[Dark One]

From Hawai'i to the hospital... poor Kane

"Should have stayed in Maui"

http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/photo_large/public/photo/image/2015/07/20150630_Kane_waterfall-3258056101.jpg

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if Kane regrets coming back from his Hawaiian vacation now. Didn't even get a tan or any nice souvenirs while he was gone.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Seth's not quite all alone, John...Triple H still around...might be a factor in the outcome, wouldn't put it past him...I'm very weary of him...

[Tom Guycott]

Argus Event Staff. This is why Super Cena had so much trouble vs. Rusev: Amanda Waller.

[Mercenary]

Solid Raw

[DAMN iNATOR]

Thought for a second Rollins would Pedigree Kane, but he didn't.

[Dark One]

Seth right now:

http://i.imgur.com/rIkDzXN.gif

[Dark One]

Seth on Sunday:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pLRmVMVP7NQ?start=70&rel=0&amp;showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[#1-norm-fan]

I've got a feeling we're gonna see Seth somehow retain via DQ or something so Brock can take the title back at SummerSlam. Probably in a cage match or something.

Either way, Lesnar should dominate in a way that makes his match with Cena at SummerSlam last year seem competitive.

[Frank Drebin]

Can't believe they didn't use the NxT women in Chicago last week. Also, why didn't Sasha have the championship belt with her?

Something tells me that this is going to be exploited as a meme, with all sorts of shit being photoshopped on the screen instead of Charlotte.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I actually really enjoyed this week's RAW. Heyman is a fucking promo god. That man could sell popcorn to a dolphin's blowhole. Or something. Seth Rollins is becoming a good promo too. I hate his "story time" segments, where he basically recaps what he has since day one; but when he actually has a point, his stuff works. I've got a feeling he'll be escaping Battleground with the World Title, but I've got no clue how they get it done. They're talking about Rollins vs. Triple H, but if that happens, then they'll have to turn Triple H, in my opinion. Rollins is such a heel right now. I guess they might just have Brock take back the title, but it seems odd to do it at a B-show. But I expect Rollins to put up a surprisingly good fight all the same. I'm curious to see the outcome.

Cesaro is a fucking beast. Owens and Rusev also worked their pants off. A lot of this show felt like it was booked by Triple H and whoever does NXT. Everyone in this Triple Threat came out a stronger character. It was weird to see Cena booked as a heel, but sort of refreshing. If Dolph Ziggler isn't able to work Battleground, I would be adding Rusev vs. Cesaro to the main card.

The NXT girls debuting was obviously awesome. I ended up switching off my brain and just marking out for Becky, Charlotte and Sasha. They seemed pretty over too. A 3 vs. 3 vs. 3 match for Battleground would be pretty fucking hot.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>It's like Raw is an episode of Itchy & Scratchy, and the divas division has finally made it to the fireworks factory.</font>

[Rammsteinmad]

Week in and week out Cesaro is completely owning Raw. Surely WWE can't ignore this forever!!! I wanna see Cesaro vs. Seth Rollins at Summerslam for the WWE title. I totally wouldn't be against the Swiss Superman winning it, either.

[Heisenberg]

That whole U.S. Championship scene I view from positive eyes, with Cena bringing these guys in and making their feud seem legit. They do all the awesome wrestling moves and all, but you need John there to bring them over. RAW was good last night, especially the NXT women segment. soooooo good

[drave]

But did you Get Hard?

[Poit]

They're talking about Rollins vs. Triple H, but if that happens, then they'll have to turn Triple H, in my opinion. Rollins is such a heel right now.

With Stephanie introducing the NXT divas and Rollins stomping on Kane's foot, this could potentially be the start of an Authority face turn.

[Lock Jaw]

Predicting now that Rollins gets Luke Harper to be his new muscle.... And that they actually book Harper as effective in the role.

[Shadrick]

Goodnight sweet prince.

*maniacal over the top laughter*

[Droford]

Don't get why Bo Dallas hasn't been made an actual member of New Day yet. Same type gimmicks and him acting as an inspirational manager from time to time would help.
Bo Dallas and 2 generic white guy bolievers form Bo Day so we can continue the 3 on 3 gang warfare themr

[Volare]

Looks like a lot of crying.

The girls have done alot, and deserve every ounce of success they get.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I know last night's show was excellent, and I have no problem with it getting all the praise from fans that it so richly deserves, but after that divas segment, I personally just couldn't help but have a general sense of malaise live last night.

I do have high hopes for the card Sunday to turn out as one of the best PPVs of the year.

[Volare]

I've re-watched the divas segment 4 times now.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the new 3 getting their chances to shine and I'm genuinely happy for them, but part of me just wishes Will Smith in his M.I.B. character would just show up and memory wipe that part of the show for me, LOL.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'd mark the fuck out if at Battleground, Kharma comes out and starts squashing bitches.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Predicting now that Rollins gets Luke Harper to be his new muscle.... And that they actually book Harper as effective in the role.

This would make perfect sense. The two even have history (not that it would necessarily be recognized). Lesnar vs. Harper might not exactly seem "MAJOR DEAL!", but you just know it would rock, and Harper is scarily good in his role.

[XL]

Did I read somewhere that the term "backbreaker" had been abolished. Seems like they used it about 5 times on Raw.

[Big Vic]

This would make perfect sense. The two even have history (not that it would necessarily be recognized). Lesnar vs. Harper might not exactly seem "MAJOR DEAL!", but you just know it would rock, and Harper is scarily good in his role.
I think it might actually be the big show. :|
