SAME ARENA, SAME TIME

Less than one week before their SummerSlam clash, both Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker will be live on Raw. As WWE prepares to celebrate The Beast's Minnesota homecoming, will these two warriors collide before their anticipated rematch? Also tonight, U.S. Champion John Cena and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins meet face to face!

[Savio]

Viktor (or Konnor) is the toughest SOB in the WWE.

[ClockShot]

Jon Stewart is hosting SummerSlam.

Any word if he's gonna be around tonight?

[Emperor Smeat]

Probably not since he wasn't mentioned in the RAW preview on WWE's website.

[Lock Jaw]

How dare that twitter account forget about THE RYBACK

[ClockShot]

Awwwww. I miss him already.

Something to keep in mind for tipsters, however.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Oh goody, another long promo to start Raw.

*click*</font>

[ClockShot]

Was totally expecting Brock "The King of Minnesota" Lesnar to open up the show.

[Lock Jaw]

Been awhile since we have started RAW with this scene....

[ClockShot]

What's the PPV price, Steph?

[GD]

Repetition is they key in professional wrestling.

[Lock Jaw]

How can something be "too big for Wrestlemania"? How does appearing on a show that isn't as big signify that?

[Corndad]

This is reminding me of those old Gene Okerland SummerSlam Reports.

[Lock Jaw]

YESSSSS!!!! A CONTRACT SIGNING! I AM SO HYPED, YOU GUYS!!!!

[GD]

It doesn't seem like the Cena - Rollins bout will have an ending.

[ClockShot]

Why do we need a rundown of the card for Summerslam?

Just get the show started already!

[GD]

Smackdown rematches on RAW. That's new.

[Corndad]

Now they are "Team Paige" lol

[GD]

Why do we need a rundown of the card for Summerslam?

Just get the show started already!

3 long hours to fill.

[Corndad]

They change names as often as Big Show turns babyface/heel lol

[Lock Jaw]

Did they announce a Cesaro/Owens match? Kind of zoned out....

[Emperor Smeat]

So are the Authority faces now?

Seems odd that Rollins was the one who ended up being the one to destroy the group as the bad guys.

[Savio]

The road to summer slam is just starting now?

[Corndad]

https://sp.yimg.com/ib/th?id=JN.eywoDBSnCGBgCHBOoqc0tg&pid=15.1&P=0&w=300&h=300

[GD]

Intercontinental Championship match isn't big enough for The Authority to announce it.

Remember when commentators ran down the card before the PPV? Especially during the brand split era when Cole and Tazz would appear to run down the Smackdown portion of the card. Loved that shit.

[Fenix122]

Who's ready for Summerfest!!??

[Lock Jaw]

WEEEEEEOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEOOOOOOWEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOWWEEEEEOOOOO DOOO DOOO DOO DOO DOOO DOOO

[DAMN iNATOR]

How can something be "too big for Wrestlemania"? How does appearing on a show that isn't as big signify that?

I thought they made it pretty clear that since the rematch was obviously too big for WrestleMania, there was only one other time, 16 months later, and only one other place it could happen. And that is at the second-biggest show of the year: SummerSlam. :shifty:

Can't wait until a SummerSlam match is forgotten for a year and a half only to have the rematch at Survivor Series because it was "too big for SummerSlam".

[Lock Jaw]

What does Sheamus yell in his entrance now?

End part still sounds like "FELLA", but he yells some stuff before it now....

[DAMN iNATOR]

Gee, I just don't know if I could be persuaded to watch SummerSlam this Sunday, LIVE from the Barclays Center if ESPN's SportsCenter featuring Jonathan Coachman wasn't there all day! :roll:

[Frank Drebin]

Something about lobster heads and limes

[Frank Drebin]

Good thing Lawler replaces Saxton on Sunday. Wouldn't want anyone to confuse him and Coach.

[Frank Drebin]

Sheamus/Orton zzzzzzzz

[DAMN iNATOR]

JBL's right. Calling Sheamus' look "stupid" is WAY too generous. Get with the program, crowds!

[Savio]

ZZZZ Raw right now

[Emperor Smeat]

What does Sheamus yell in his entrance now?

End part still sounds like "FELLA", but he yells some stuff before it now....

According to r/SquaredCircle, he's saying "Faugh a ballagh" which means "clear the way" in Irish. Its a battle cry in that language.

[dronepool]

Hope RAW doesn't suck, WWE RAW has been blah for about a month now.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Something about lobster heads and limes

Actually, I think a fresh squeeze of lime would be great with some lobster. :drool::y:

[Lock Jaw]

Are WWE making and handing out the Cesaro Section signs?

[DAMN iNATOR]

According to r/SquaredCircle, he's saying "Faugh a ballagh" which means "clear the way" in Irish. Its a battle cry in that language.

I thought it was just gibberish meant to express exasperation at not having a private moment to masturbate.

[dronepool]

That road to Summerslam speech was about 3 or 4 weeks too late.

[Frank Drebin]

Are WWE making and handing out the Cesaro Section signs?

Them doing that would be like my parents telling me "cool shirt"

[slik]

marks out for The Coach

[DAMN iNATOR]

That road to Summerslam speech was about 3 or 4 weeks too late.

Vince's gift for his 70th birthday from nature? Alzheimer's.

[Frank Drebin]

TAINT!

[Frank Drebin]

what the hell just happened there?

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Cesaro

[Dark One]

Cesaro with a hell of a Rey Mysterio impression.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Looks like Cole has finally learned that most RKOs do come from Straight Outta Somewhere...

[Frank Drebin]

Could not keep their hands off one another

[Lock Jaw]

Them doing that would be like my parents telling me "cool shirt"

I heard unconfirmed reports that they did it the first time they had the Cesaro Section back around WM30.

[Lock Jaw]

"The Deadman Speaks"

That's just one word away from a front page "news" blurb

[Tom Guycott]

Goddamn, Dark One

[Frank Drebin]

Apparently "the fans" consist of 3 people she gave handies to.

[ClockShot]

The Deadman Speaks..............via video package/backstage set.

[Lock Jaw]

DON'T FEAR THE REAPER

[DAMN iNATOR]

Oh, look, Undertaker's hidden behind a mysterious foggy ether...never seen that before...

[slik]

love the show Mr. Robot...anyone else watching that?

[Frank Drebin]

Sweet...old school promo.

[Lock Jaw]

love the show Mr. Robot...anyone else watching that?

No. Watching Monday Night Raw.

[slik]

omg Undertaker looks 65

[DAMN iNATOR]

'Taker looks older and creepier than ever

Can't stop thinking about the 3 little words from SD! one night probably a decade ago: "YOU. ME. SUMMERSLAM!"

[ClockShot]

love the show Mr. Robot...anyone else watching that?

Really does a number on the brain. Makes you think about how much info you really should be putting on line.

But to answer your question, I'm watching. Sad it's got 1 more episode until season finale.

[Lock Jaw]

I love how the WWE Network's slogan is now "It's just like Netflix"

[Dark One]

Goddamn, Dark One

I get that a lot.

[slik]

No. Watching Monday Night Raw.

Well if you didn't live in Canada #2 you would know USA #1 Network airs commercials for it during RAW all the time

[Tom Guycott]

She's always been loved by the fans?

The ones who somehow think orange tans and cartooishly red lipstick and hair cancel out her fuglyness, and willing to look past the fact that she is the drizzling shits in the ring.

Those fans. They have always loved her.

[Dark One]

I love how the WWE Network's slogan is now "It's just like Netflix"

It's better than the "STOP GIVING US $55 DUMBASS" line.

[DAMN iNATOR]

omg Undertaker looks 6,500

Fixed.

Even Cole doesn't watch Tough Enough.

Welp, RIP Rollins' main event push in 6 days.... (LOLCENAWINS)

[ClockShot]

Wonder if WWE is going the Ring of Honor route and making the mid-card champ win this title vs. title match?

Soooooooooooo, Cena wins sunday?

[Frank Drebin]

Poor Dean Cain

[Lock Jaw]

Steph looking good tonight.....

[DAMN iNATOR]

Mexico is #3, also commonly referred to as what most fans take during a divas match...

[slik]

wait, there is a tpww poster named SummerSlam now and they are viewing this thread

we've entered a new era

[DAMN iNATOR]

Owen. Time for your "line"...;)

[Tom Guycott]

Is it *really* Ultimate Warrior, or is it a statue of Hulk Hogan and they're still scrubbing the red and yellow?

[Lock Jaw]

Alicia Fox section spotted

[Frank Drebin]

This just seems so half assed with 2/3 Shield vs 2/3 Wyatt Family

[Dark One]

lol at the lone "Alicia Fox Section" guy.

WWE Internet Patrol no doubt. Looking for fresh ideas to steal from us.

[GD]

What are you talking about? She always looks good.

[Lock Jaw]

lol at the lone "Alicia Fox Section" guy.

Probably TPWW Poster "KIRA"

[Emperor Smeat]

This just seems so half assed with 2/3 Shield vs 2/3 Wyatt Family

Could be worse like a full ass feud if someone gets mooned at Summerslam.

[Emperor Smeat]

To be serious, probably the best that the WWE didn't just shove Sting in the Bray-Roman feud for no reason like the dirtsheets were teasing as a possible idea.

[owenbrown]

This just seems so half assed with 2/3 Shield vs 2/3 Wyatt Family

half-assed is the status quo for WWE

[Frank Drebin]

Sting getting added would make no sense.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Welp, RIP Rollins' main event push in 6 days.... (LOLCENAWINS)

Owens drops NXT title to Bálor @ NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn. In theSummerSlam main event, Rollins retains via intentional DQ so that neither hold both belts and both Cena and Rollins keep their belts, and after having defeated Orton, Sheamus cashes in, becomes new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Cena drops his US belt to Owens between RAW after SummerSlam and the Sept. PPV, challenges Sheamus at September PPV.

[Tom Guycott]

It's better than the "STOP GIVING US $55 DUMBASS" line.

Being fair, how much of that $55 is actually WWEs money? I doubt they get the "few cents per" rate like music artists get off of album sales, but there might be a method to this madness.

[ClockShot]

How nice, fancy name graphics for Wyatt and Harper.

[Tom Guycott]

lol at the lone "Alicia Fox Section" guy.

Probably TPWW Poster "KIRA"

If i wefe there, I'd be in that section, too.

[slik]

Could be worse like a full ass feud if someone gets mooned at Summerslam.

Ric Flair already warming up for classic Flair full moon backstage. Has Flair flop and a razor blade on standby in case those are needed as well.

[GD]

Owens drops NXT title to Bálor @ NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn.

Why would Owens "drop" the NXT title to Balor when he doesn't hold it?

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

Ambrose rules.

[Tom Guycott]

Ha... Byron is the new Coach.

[Dark One]

Being fair, how much of that $55 is actually WWEs money? I doubt they get the "few cents per" rate like music artists get off of album sales, but there might be a method to this madness.

I guess that's possible, but I'd be surprised a bit if it's that dramatic. I mean, needing a "million subscribers" to break even versus PPVs that were doing 100k buys before makes me suspicious.

[Lock Jaw]

This just seems so half assed with 2/3 Shield vs 2/3 Wyatt Family

Half assed?! Come on! Obviously at least 2/3 assed.

[Simple Fan]

Its like Saxton is to good to sit in a folding chair. There's plenty around.

[Heisenberg]

Harper with the Taka driver, fuckin sweet

[Frank Drebin]

Love Harper

[OssMan]

Underhook suplex from ramon reigns

[DAMN iNATOR]

Why would Owens "drop" the NXT title to Balor when he doesn't hold it?

I thought he still did. Must've missed something, because I only check out NXT for the divas matches.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Its like Saxton is to good to sit in a folding chair. There's plenty around.

He'd rather sit on the floor and get caught making a "miffed" face on-camera that will become an animated GIF meme.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Love Harper

YEAYEAYEAYEAYEAAAAAAAAHHHHH

[KIRA]

Alicia Fox section spotted

Woo!

[Poit]

Half assed?! Come on! Obviously at least 2/3 assed.

That's a whole extra 1/6 of an ass.

[Emperor Smeat]

All this family talk and not one mention of Seth Rollins. Sure he's probably at the "once removed" tier of the family tree but look at how happy he was the last time the Shield family was together:

http://i.imgur.com/mIh5sUI.gif

[Dark One]

http://i.imgur.com/DDXW3ua.gif

[DAMN iNATOR]

Wyatt's like "Y'all just jealous of my sweet beard, hat and shirt. Don't hate!"

[KIRA]

Is that Bray's way of trying to laugh this off?

[GD]

I thought he still did. Must've missed something, because I only check out NXT for the divas matches.

The "Beast in the East" show?

[KIRA]

Wyatt's like "Y'all just jealous of my sweet beard, hat and shirt. Don't hate!"

I'm jealous of that jacket vest thing he wears sometimes

[GD]

Is that Bray's way of trying to laugh this off?

Wins and losses don't matter in the double double E.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Is that Bray's way of trying to laugh this off?

That or dude's just constantly stoned. Wonder if he buys from RVD, Jeff or both of them...

[Corndad]

I hope they give Owens vs Cesaro 3 hrs and 55 mins. Taker's entrance feat Jon Stewart and the Diva's Revolution get 5.

[Lock Jaw]

AWWWWW YEAH, TPWW!!

IT'S LUNCH TIME!!!

[KIRA]

Wins and losses don't matter in the double double E.

I meant from a story/character stand point.

Didn't JBL used to work for Stewart's sworn enemy Fox News?

[slik]

@dronepool, you going to SummerSlam?

[Dark One]

BECKY LUNCH IN THE HOUSE

[OssMan]

Cool glasses from this Becky bitch, she seems annoying though... tempted to like Tamina due to everyone hating ver hia her being big/not hot

[Lock Jaw]

Wish Becky would wear her NXT Takeover gear.....

[Tom Guycott]

There. Didn't use Charlotte's theme. That should make some of you cream yourselves.

[Dark One]

Becky Lunch is my legacy on this forum.

I'm okay with that.

[KIRA]

So the well of team names for divas only went as deep as Submission Sorority?

[OssMan]

Tamina looking hot in her knee brace IMO

[Lock Jaw]

Wish Becky would wear her NXT Takeover gear.....

Mainly just want to see more of her abdominal region....

[OssMan]

Becky looks like a girl out of Final Fantasy, like that Rikku bitch

[DAMN iNATOR]

Lynch reminds me of Dr. Patricia Tannis from Borderlands when she's wearing those goggles, even though Tannis is somewhat older and I don't recall her having orange hair.

[OssMan]

Tamina taps out to the arm bar

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if Team PCB has any special meaning like the other name Paige's team had.

PCB

A secret underground society that will one day rule the world.
The only people who know what "PCB" actually means are the members of "PCB".
Considering the whole Divas Revolution started with them, I believe it. Better than robots or cats as rulers.

[Mercenary]

Why is Ric Flair in the ring?

[Lock Jaw]

Love Becky Lynch theme.... one of my fav themes right now....

[Frank Drebin]

Waiting for Team T.E.A.M.

Tamina, Emma, Alicia Fox, the ghost of Mae Young.

[Dark One]

LONG LIVE BECKY LUNCH

[Tom Guycott]

Seriously, WWE, you can fuck right off with this "team" everything. Ever since "Team Hell No", it's been the epitome of imagination lacking, and only one step above having tag teams just use their singles names like they're thrown together randomly.

[Dark One]

lol at "Naomi is ruining Sasha" sign.

[DAMN iNATOR]

LOL, thanks Cole for reminding us of Lynch's nickname...bey a bunch of sickos have already strategically juxaposed certain letters in those words already...be surprised if not.

[Lock Jaw]

Becky the best... hope she doesn't get "lost in the shuffle" after Summerslam.... they'll probably have her "turn heel" and try to "prove that she is better than Charlotte" and then have Charlotte BURY HER FOREVER....

[OssMan]

Why aren't there any signs that say "4 hours is too long"

[DAMN iNATOR]

Waiting for Team T.E.A.M.

Tamina, Emma, Alicia Fox, the ghost of Mae Young.

Or Moolah...

[Tom Guycott]

Tamina taps out to the arm bar

It wasn't just ANY armbar. You need to re-read Jericho's list of 1004 holds.

[Tom Guycott]

Becky the best... hope she doesn't get "lost in the shuffle" after Summerslam.... they'll probably have her "turn heel" and try to "prove that she is better than Charlotte" and then have Charlotte BURY HER FOREVER....

More likely, they'll try to force feed Eva Marie as the be all end all. I still will fear this as an inevitability unless something happens to prevent it.

[Lock Jaw]

Dolph Ziggler has to come back this week, right?

[Lock Jaw]

This, the third week in a row, will surely be Mark Henry's time to succeed!

[DAMN iNATOR]

Dean doesn't drink Kool-Aid, but the Kool-Aid man is here...OH, YEAH! :D :shifty:

[Tom Guycott]

Man, that was the weakest Steiner Recliner ever by Summer Rae


Also, Henry wearing the ring gear Big Show gave him

[Emperor Smeat]

Becky the best... hope she doesn't get "lost in the shuffle" after Summerslam.... they'll probably have her "turn heel" and try to "prove that she is better than Charlotte" and then have Charlotte BURY HER FOREVER....

Probably going to be one huge mess or things back to Total Divas status quo but would be great if Becky starts the Orange Revolution next.

Way too many Divas are involved in this storyline compared to the usual Diva storylines for them to just go back to one or two Divas feuds at a time. Even Lana and Summer are in their own feud as a spin off to the main Divas one.

[KIRA]

Man is it just me or is her accent gradually getting worse?

[DAMN iNATOR]

I'm digging Mizark's new patriotic looking singlet with the giant USA#1 flag over left side of his chest. :y:

[Dark One]

Somebody gonna get their ass kicked.

It's Mark Henry

[Tom Guycott]

Rusev grabbing his head. Looks like he's getting his wig split!

[Dark One]

Man is it just me or is her accent gradually getting worse?

I don't think it's incidental. I think it's to slowly get rid of it.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Man is it just me or is her accent gradually getting worse?

I think, but hope not, that they are "Americanizing" her gradually.

[Lock Jaw]

Damn. Really thought Mark Henry was due!

[DAMN iNATOR]

Damn...wanted to see Mark win so he'd unfurl an American flag with his angry mug on it...:'(

[Tom Guycott]

I'm digging Mizark's new patriotic looking singlet with the giant USA#1 flag over left side of his chest. :y:

'Cept its not new. It's the singlet Big Show "gave" him when he was feuding during Rusev beating every "American hero", which consisted of multiple victories over Henry, Swagger, and Ryder to pad his resume before finally being fed to Cena.

[DAMN iNATOR]

"'LANA' gimmick-on-a-pole" match at SummerSlam - Lana w/Dolph vs. Summer Rae w/Rusev :shifty:

[Tom Guycott]

Lana's here to show the world

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I love Rusev but it feels like he's only wrestled like 4 different people in his entire time with the company: Swagger, Show, Henry, Cena</font>

[Corndad]

Dolph> Everyone.

[KIRA]

Rusev has truly left Lana I mean he has started wearing boots ffs.

Dolph!

[Dark One]

Ziggler apparently only had time to tan one side of his body.

[DAMN iNATOR]

'Cept its not new. It's the singlet Big Show "gave" him when he was feuding during Rusev beating every "American hero", which consisted of multiple victories over Henry, Swagger, and Ryder to pad his resume before finally being fed to Cena.

I'd forgotten. It's still AMERICAN AS FUCK, though...

[Lock Jaw]

Hot crowd for Ziggler

Ziggler looking more like a bowl of spaghetti than ever

[Emperor Smeat]

Rusev's reactions are the best.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Ziggler apparently only had time to tan one side of his body.

Where was he tanning? Alaska?!

[Lock Jaw]

<font color=goldenrod>I love Rusev but it feels like he's only wrestled like 4 different people in his entire time with the company: Swagger, Show, Henry, Cena</font>

He also had a feud with Big E

[KIRA]

Damn...wanted to see Mark win so he'd unfurl an American flag with his angry mug on it...:'(

God, put that on a shirt and it will be the only time I'd proudly rock a shirt with the Flag on it.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Lana's here to show the world

I think she did that BEFORE her WWE career...:shifty:

[DAMN iNATOR]

God, put that on a shirt and it will be the only time I'd proudly rock a shirt with the Flag on it.

Only one I have w/flag is Rock's Team Bring It shirt.

[Tom Guycott]

So, for all the people who hate the idea of "little guys" like DB (and hosnestly, the current champion fits said mold) being main eventers because they don't look like bodybuilders or fat badasses: Rusev just handily beat a guy a roughly twice his size, and got his ass kicked by someone roughly half his weight. And the crowd went apeshit.

[KIRA]

I'm sorry but Summerslam still does not feel or look like it can/should be a 4hr show

[KIRA]

Dolph they forgot to turn you over bro.

[Lock Jaw]

There are a lot of matches.

[DAMN iNATOR]

The name JoJo makes me think of that one Beatles song..."Get Back", I think.

[Lock Jaw]

Wonder if they just sat a bunch of superstars in front of the camera and told them to just say "the streak" or if they actually got full interviews....

[Tom Guycott]

He also had a feud with Big E

That was separate. This was Rusev beating the patriot of the week, which consisted of 3 people (technically 4, but Show didn't do much except provide catalyst for a Mark Henry heel turn) to pad his undefeated streak.

It was like Goldberg beating the roster of Worldwide multiple times for his streak. Only more blatant.

[Savio]

How come they don't show the shocked black guy anymore?

[DAMN iNATOR]

So, for all the people who hate the idea of "little guys" like DB (and hosnestly, the current champion fits said mold) being main eventers because they don't look like bodybuilders or fat badasses: Rusev just handily beat a guy a roughly twice his size, and got his ass kicked by someone roughly half his weight. And the crowd went apeshit.

Only guy that didn't need it was Rey. I mean, FFS, he was a cruiserweight, and the title he won went from being called the World Heavyweight Championship to just the World Championship because of that fact during his mediocre, nearly 4-month reign.

[Lock Jaw]

Big E started it all....

[Tom Guycott]

Makes me think of JoDeCi

[Corndad]

It's almost like Taker vs Bray never happened lol

[KIRA]

There are a lot of matches.

Yeah...but to me it feels like they exist just to fill that four hrs I know that probably sounds weird but WM (outside of maybe 1 or 2 matches ) never feels that way

[Emperor Smeat]

This whole feud would be a lot better had Taker just taken Mania off this year and slowly grew more pissed over time that Lesnar stole the defining image of his career. Basically the HBK route of becoming crazy about wanting revenge for the loss.

[DAMN iNATOR]

THE RYBACK IS NEXT, FUCK YEAH!

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty much all the matches actually have a decent build, though. Which is more than I can say about some of the matches at the past few Manias.

[KIRA]

true enough.

[Tom Guycott]

Big E started it all....

http://supermarcey.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/raw_1096_photo_bige.jpg

Didn't realize that. I remember him jobbing to Rusev almost immediately after they both ended up on the main roster, and thinking that this should have been a bigger deal later on, and not a throwaway Smackdown match.

Anyway, my apologies for omitting Etor from the feud.

[Lock Jaw]

Weird @ Dean Cain having the last name "Danvers" in that movie, and then playing Supergirl's dad in upcoming show....

[DAMN iNATOR]

Yeah...but to me it feels like they exist just to fill that four hrs I know that probably sounds weird but WM (outside of maybe 1 or 2 matches ) never feels that way

Exactly. And WM events in the past have been known (not even counting dark matches/pre-show matches) to have like 12 matches on one card, plus HoF stuff, plus ads, plus "next year, WM __ goes to __________", plus interviews and clips recapping the build to certain big matches.

[KIRA]

Dean Cain lol sold!

[DAMN iNATOR]

THE RYBACK >>> The Miz

[Tom Guycott]

What I would like you Minnesota meatheads to do... is button your lips, open your eyes. And watch me take my sunglasses off!

[KIRA]

Big Show kinda switching between heel and face...which pretty much the norm of his career
just not on commentary.

[owenbrown]

Miz clearly dropped the ball by not calling Big Show "Captain Insano"

[Lock Jaw]

Ryback's theme another of my favs right now.... so good....

[Savio]

NO SHE HASN'T

[Savio]

SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN LOVED BY THE FANS?!:wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

[Frank Drebin]

Morris Chestnut need to get hurt to Titus O'Neil can get some movie roles.

[Frank Drebin]

Can't wait to hear how they spin Eva Marie getting booed on Total Divas. I say hear because I'm not watching a minute of that dreck

[Shisen Kopf]

Contact signing, so exciting.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Whoever goes through the table in this segment is winning on Sunday.</font>

[Lock Jaw]

Every now and then I get freaked out by Rollin's giraffe neck..... now is one of those times....

[Lock Jaw]

Wearing a shirt that says "Never Shuts Up" is weird.... I mean, I know it is supposed to be "mocking his opponent", but all it does is make it seem like Rollins never shuts up.... which he doesn't.

I hope Rollins wins. If for nothing else, the caliber of the "I told you so" he is sure to give the next night on RAW.

[KIRA]

Thats gonna be some world class selective history and or complete retconning

[Emperor Smeat]

Want Rollins to win just to see how much more cocky his character would become and the huge boost to whoever takes him down in the future. Lot better than a probable LOLCena wins or some shenanigans that drags out the feud more than it should.

Doubt the Challenge series is going to continue or have any real prominence regardless who wins the match.

[Tom Guycott]

I thought he was going for the obvious Minnesota musician, and make some sort of Purple Rain joke or something.

[Poit]

I'll take an injection from Seth Rollins. :naughty:

[DAMN iNATOR]

John "The Human Blood Orange" Cena, everybody!

[Savio]

My ancestors did not die to become a John Cena shirt!

[KIRA]

WWE needs to hire a traveling conductor for these John Cena Sucks moments

[Frank Drebin]

Seth has to play "Got Your Nose" with Cena. He has to.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I'll take an injection from Seth Rollins. :naughty:

Well, that's not very TV-PG...

[Tom Guycott]

Hideous. Cena should get the blue dot treatment.

[DAMN iNATOR]

My ancestors did not die to become a John Cena shirt!

What about hats, wristbands and/or towels? :shifty:

[KIRA]

Cena giving motivational speeches.....TO THE VILLAINS.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Yes, Cena, clearly you have so much room to call other people's attire bad after your dozens of horribly pantoned shirts...:roll:

[Dark One]

Obligatory FINAL RAW BEFORE THE PPV John Cena inspirational rundown promo.

[Corndad]

Hope Rollins pulls this move out on Sunday...

[Savio]

He's gonna molest him

[DAMN iNATOR]

He's gonna molest him

Rape is no laughing matter. B.A. *.

[Dark One]

It bugs me when promos are just opposing monologues and not back and forths.

Like why isn't somebody interjecting when John Cena pauses for fifteen seconds? Why would they just glare at him?

[Emperor Smeat]

Wouldn't Cena need to break the record for it to be considered a nightmare?

Him tying it wouldn't get as much rage as him breaking the record. Like "Hogan turning heel" style trashing the ring by the fans for rage.

[Lock Jaw]

Now the table explodes by itself

[KIRA]

He designs his own horrible gear thats what I took from this.

[Tom Guycott]

"And I could be a 16 time world heavyweight champion too, if I had all my bastard friends pulling the strings!"

[DAMN iNATOR]

Neither is leaving with both belts. Some kind of DQ finish...

[owenbrown]

The WWE writers all need this if or should I say WHEN Super Cena ties Ric Flair's record on Sunday...

[Dark One]

Coach is GONNA GET SUPLEXED

[Dark One]

Is there a chance Sasha Banks and Nikki Bella main events and closes the show, or are we closing on a money Heyman/Lesnar/Undertaker promo and confrontation?

[owenbrown]

Brock BETTER be on Highly Questionable this week

[Frank Drebin]

Is there a chance Sasha Banks and Nikki Bella main events and closes the show, or are we closing on a money Heyman/Lesnar/Undertaker promo and confrontation?

Guess

[Lock Jaw]

NEWWW DAY

[KIRA]

I love Woods so much

[Lock Jaw]

I miss The Usos.....

[DAMN iNATOR]

Is there a chance Sasha Banks and Nikki Bella main events and closes the show, or are we closing on a money Heyman/Lesnar/Undertaker promo and confrontation?

I could see Lesnar/Undertaker in some kind of no contest scenario if they had Kane show up to help 'Taker get his revenge on Lesnar after about 25 minutes, and then Sting shows up and aligns with Lesnar, and they build for a while to Sting v. Undertaker @ WM 32.

If Rolkins doesn't get DQ'd, they could easily do a double count-out, as neither man should lose his title to the other or be forced to look weak at the other's expense. To do a clean pin or submission finish in any way doesn't make sense long- or short-term at all.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I love Woods so much

That doesn't sound right. Also, James Woods > Xavier Woods.

I stand by it.

[Lock Jaw]

I feel like the camera angle should be askew during this Stardust/King Barret segment
