Monday Night Raw is War (8/31)

[Frank Drebin]

Well, at least Page was able to cop a feel on Sasha's boob at the end there.

[Mercenary]

ugh
NO MORE LANA SEGMENTS

[Tom Guycott]

Actually, it made sense. If you have less than three seconds left in a beat the clock match, your only hope is to try for a really fast submission.

That would make sense if she were Becky, who has something she can simlly slap on. Paige's submission maneuver is too elaborate, and takes longer to set up than just go for the pin and hope the ref counts fast.

[Lock Jaw]

Took you that long to realize he was trying to seduce you, Summer?

[Kris P Lettus]

Summer Ray looks like a straight up stripper

[owenbrown]

oh look...a lying cunt on Raw

[Kris P Lettus]

Hottest chick in the trailer park

[RawRocks]

This Lana-Summer Rae feud with Ziggler needs to die. quickly.

[Frank Drebin]

AWWW DREBIN DONT YOU DARE BE SOWAAAAA

... what happened to Xavier's hair?

"Remember we used to go down to the creek? The water used to glisten alll over yo boooooooddyyyyy!"

ummm when did Woods become a diva?

Fair point. :y:

I was thinking more along the lines of Dru Down

They said the last table in the building, not on earth. And the giant swing isn't the Sharpshooter... Cole is not on it to tonight...

[DAMN iNATOR]

Sorry I'm jumping in so late tonight BTW, folks. Fell asleep watching BTTF Pt 2 of all things this afternoon and just now awoken. Hope I haven't missed anything good...:-\

[Tom Guycott]

Also, LOL... Cornell West

[DAMN iNATOR]

"The Last Table on Earth" sounds like it would be a great FOX hit drama series. :y:

Are you a lion?

[Mr. Nerfect]

The New Day are the best thing about WWE at the moment.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Xavier Woods does remind me of someone with the silky smooth hair, but I also can't place my finger on it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Is it just me or is Nikki Bella vs. Charlotte heatless? Like totally heatless.

[Tom Guycott]

But seriously, he's one "sidewalk slam" away from being Tony Schiavone

[Tom Guycott]

Are you a lion?

"Am I a lion? No. But I do have a mighty roar."

[Mr. Nerfect]

I would have had Charlotte set a reasonable pace, then Paige and Sasha Banks go past the time limit and tear it up. From there you spin-off into a proper Paige vs. Sasha feud. Becky then smashes Charlotte's time in the last match, and Charlotte shows obvious signs of jealousy.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Fucking love Xavier Woods. My favorite of the group, by far.

[Tom Guycott]

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Woods

[DAMN iNATOR]

LOL, a Don King reference? Where the hell is that coming fruom?!

[Tom Guycott]

I hope to any god of any religion that Woods starts using that hairbrush as an international object.

[KIRA]

Digging woods hair

[DAMN iNATOR]

RIP Bubble-wrapped table.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I wonder why WWE never has Woods wrestle in these matches. The three of them used to rotate earlier on in the stable.

Don't get me wrong, he's brilliant at ringside but it's just kinda funny that WWE has practically relegated him to a manager even though he's actually a good wrestler.</font>

[Kris P Lettus]

Heel Dudleys are so much better

:(

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: a table actually managed to not get destroyed during a Dudleys match.

[Tom Guycott]

Whoah whoah whoah whoah WHOAH! I JUST REALIZED WHAT KOFI IS WEARING!

[Clerk]

Xavier's hair looked amazing. Also love when the wrestlers get on commentary it's always comical

[Lock Jaw]

Wish The Usos were back....

[Lock Jaw]

PTP just don't seem "on the level" of New Day or obviously the Dudleys.

[Tom Guycott]

I'm calling it now: somewhere in this feud, Rollins will dress up like Sting.

[Lock Jaw]

Just realized no John Cena tonight....

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Oh yay, let's remind everybody that WWE put WCW out of business. Again.</font>

[RawRocks]

plant the seeds for a HHH vs Rollins match..

[KIRA]

"WCW went out of business" again, thanks for reminding us

[DAMN iNATOR]

Oh yay, it's talking time again...I didn't know they were trying to put me back to sleep.

[KIRA]

What the hell are those?

[Frank Drebin]

Just realized no John Cena tonight....

not yet

[Lock Jaw]

This whole thing is just so weird.... Using Sting/Rollins feud to push Triple H.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Still badly hope Sting wins the WWE Title. Would make the 9 year old inside of me mark out so much.</font>

[Lock Jaw]

not yet

There he is!

[RawRocks]

Cena.. thank you

[DAMN iNATOR]

Alright, which of you said his name 3 times in a row?

[Tom Guycott]

This whole thing is just so weird.... Using Sting/Rollins feud to push Triple H.

"Yeah, he did do that, didn't he? He came out of retirement to beat me, then he went away again."

[Tom Guycott]

What the hell are those?

Adidas

In fact, the same Adidas John Oliver wore as part of his "promise" about the FIFA head.

[KIRA]

Actually Stephine did try to talk Cena into crossing over to the darkside no to long ago.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Man...fuck the rematch clause. It makes sense here, but just in general. It promotes lazy booking.</font>

[DAMN iNATOR]

LOL, so the end segment is a "Cena challenges for the US title" segment? SERIOUSLY? !

[Volare]

Just FYI I would still bang the hell out of Stephanie McMahon.

[Tom Guycott]

Welp, that's gonna get photoshopped soon

[RawRocks]

Great end to Raw

[Savio]

Arm triangle is a legit submissionNot that one the one where he drops the guy off his shoulder.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wouldn't be surprised if Rollins loses both belts and goes straight back to being just a big whiner or weakling for the Authority as a way to start the HHH-Rollins feud.

Already planted the seeds of Rollins being nothing in terms of the bigger HHH-Sting feud while Cena needs to be able to do something of importance post-NoC.

[Tom Guycott]

Funny how everyone used that "It's Sting, we're outta time!" joke for the top of the show, and then RAW literally ended that way.

I hope he does lose both belts... BUT steps up to reclaim the WHC without help. Or at least blatant help in the form of a run-in. In other words, evolve the character of Seth Rollins into more legitimacy as opposed to casting him completely off the mountain.

[Simple Fan]

Glad he is defending both titles at NoC. Just hope they don't have him lose to Cena then turn around and beat Sting. Him loosing both titles would really piss HHH off but him winning both matches and proclaiming to be better than HHH would work to.

He could just refuse Sting and give Cena his match since he has to.

[Droford]

Ric Flair for next Divas champion folks!

Transsexual David Flair?

[Droford]

Sheamus should cash in during the US Title match so that Cena can win both belts and have to face Sting after winning 16 in a tip of the cap to Flsir/Sting rivalry

[Mercenary]

Is it wrong that this Raw was so shit I thought the Tough Enough reply was a Raw recap?

[NormanSmiley]

Goes from a fantastic raw last week to a total recycled shitshow. Not one redeeming thing on the whole show.

Beat the clocks are so fucking epicly stupid.

[Mercenary]

That one was as it was Diva matches from 2012. cENA MUST HAVE BITCHED

[NormanSmiley]

The whole concept of beat the clock is stupid. You bury three people and give away results of a match before having it. Cole fucked up beyond belief tonight. Sasha banks goes in with absolutely nothing to gain. Some dumb shit all around

[Droford]

Sooo..

Nikki Bella will become the longest reigning champion and then lose 6 days later but she'll still be the longest reigning champion. Seems like night of Champions should have been September 13th not the 20th

[Droford]

Wwe Night of Rollins

Should a figured a way to have him win the IC Title too

[Mr. Nerfect]

The booking for this PPV seems really weird. Seth is still a chickenshit slimeball, yet he's wrestling twice? This whole thing feels like a commercial for Rollins vs. Triple H, yet neither is very likable. Plus, Kane is still in the wings.

Maybe they have Rollins lose both titles here? Hmm. I could see Rollins keeping both, which is probably the best thing for Rollins at this point. Maybe he could find a way to beat Cena, then gets intentionally disqualified in the main event? Cue Triple H saying that this isn't going to end like that -- and he restarts it No DQ. Cue either Seth winning after pulverizing Sting, or Kane returning to cost Rollins the match.

I dunno -- thinking about it makes me exhausted.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I sincerely hope I'm wrong here, but in my mind it seems like they're going for a "Triple H costs Rollins the WWE WHC title to Sting" angle by no later than HiAC, as my thinking is they might be keeping any Rollins vs. Triple H match in their back pocket until Survivor Series as some way to try and drum up more Network buys and better Survivor Series buyrates than last year. I could be wrong...maybe somebody can talk them out of that match idea as baf for business.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>So...who's going to come in to help Reigns and Ambrose? I have to imagine somebody will help to even the odds.

Sting was the online rumor for a while but now he's tied up in the main event.

I wouldn't mind Rowan returning only for it to be a ruse as he re-joins the Wyatt Family. Then eventually we get the Wyatts vs. Ambrose, Reigns, and The Dudley Boyz</font>

[Innovator]

Rollins will join them to get them to help him beat Cena and Sting

[NormanSmiley]

Some total fucking dumbshit on here suggested the undertaker. You know the guy who makes two appearances a year. He suggested that guy show up weekly all the sudden to become the third man

[loopydate]

Why would he need to show up weekly to be in a six-man tag at the PPV?

[Jura]

Steph is doing a really good job replacing her father as the on screen McMahon. Ever since the whole Vickie being fired and throwing Steph in the mud pool thing she's come into it.

[NormanSmiley]

Vickie>Steph

[Damian Rey]

The Dudleys/New Day segment was absolute money. Great match with both Bubba and Xavier providing hilarious ringside commentary.

[XL]

Rollins retains via DQ against Cena early in the show. Cena costs him the WHC in the Main.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The above works too.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Not feeling Rollins vs. Triple H at all.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Cesaro would have worked as a partner for Ambrose and Reigns before the rib thing on RAW. Cesaro is a "Professional" and seems like the sort of guy who would be at least brave enough to stand up to The Wyatt Family. Plus there's something to be said for the pound-for-pound strongest guy in WWE testing himself against Bray's new monster. Also, Harper vs. Cesaro matches would rock.

Jimmy Uso would make sense given that he and Reigns are related, but they've kind of non-factored that, and Uso hasn't really got any oomph on his own.

Big Show could, at least theoretically, use the "please retire" chants to motivate himself into proving he still belongs in WWE -- and that means taking on the most dangerous bad dudes around. Show turns face and heel so many times that it might fall a bit flat, but Show could put over Strowman in a pretty big way.

[Jura]

I've been wanting Big Show to retire for many years now since he's always flip flopping as a heel and face and the feuds he is in never really make sense because he's much bigger and stronger than everyone else. He should just have an Undertaker schedule where he only works at Wrestlemania. Maybe "The Giant's Challenge" and the person that beats Big Show, if they beat him, will get a trophy that they can use to brag. If it's done right then maybe they can use it to give rubs to certain wrestlers in the way that KOTR does.

[Kris P Lettus]

Thinking about Sting, HHH, Kane, and slightly less, Cena being in the HW Title picture, makes me want to stop watching wrestling again.

Specially with Lesnar, Wyatt, Ambrose, Owens, etc on the roster. Has a late 90s WCW feeling to it.

[XL]

I don't mind Cesaro losing to Owens a second time...providing he's dominant elsewhere. It'd be kind of cool if Owens was the one hurdle he couldn't get past. Have him win easily against fodder/just edge matches against more established guys, but come unstuck against Owens. Owens would be the Cesaro to Cesaro's Sami Zayn.

[XL]

Also, I was anticipating the decapitated head of Rollins' statue to fall from the rafters to end the show. But, anything falling from rafters is probably a big no-no in WWE, to avoid "outrage".

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

An Uso? They have a history with the Wyatts and fought against the Shield many times for the tag team championships. I'm not aiming that high because I don't think WWE gives a shit about this feud.
