[Volare]

HERE COMES PSYCHO!!

[ClockShot]

DEAN WINS THE NIGHT!

[Corndad]

I can already tell Lesnar/Ambrose will be the best feud going into Mania.

[Droford]

Scott Steiner..oh..

[Lock Jaw]

https://uproxx.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/dean-ambrose-smoke-ambulance.jpg?w=650

[Volare]

HOLLA IF YOU HEAR ME!!

[owenbrown]

Really? Dean in the ambulance again? :lol:

[Dark One]

You can't put Dean Ambrose in an emergency vehicle if you don't want him to end up stealing it.

[Poit]

Holla if you hear me.

[ClockShot]

It ain't no hospital gown, BUT I'LL TAKE IT!

[Theo Dious]

Best sell job in ten years.

[ClockShot]

I miss Cesaro now.

[DAMN iNATOR]

FIGHT

DEAN

FIGHT

[owenbrown]

RIP in Peace, plastic garbage can

[Volare]

And this is why Ambrose is more over than Rollins WWE BRASS.

[Fenix122]

Go home Dean, you're drunk.

[Droford]

That was pointless

[Emperor Smeat]

Would laugh if Lesnar just suplexed Ambrose back into the ambulance ... or not.

[Volare]

Crushing skulls. Nuff said.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Dean has massive balls calling out THE BEAST...

[ClockShot]

SOLD!

[Volare]

Lesnar vs Ambrose Street Fight.....FUCK YES!

[Dark One]

The first 75 minutes of this show have done a tremendous job of saving my interest in Wrestlemania.

[VSG]

lol now Wrestlemania will be more extreme than Extreme Rules

[Lock Jaw]

Really wish Dean was allowed to look like he could at least pull off some offense on Brock without having to resort to weapons/low blows.

[Droford]

Dean gonna take Lesnar to nutshot nation

[Theo Dious]

So Ambrose ends up passing out in a submission hold with a face full of blood at Wrestlemania?

[ClockShot]

But Ambrose HAS to win the match now.

[DAMN iNATOR]

The first 75 minutes of this show have done a tremendous job of saving my interest in Wrestlemania.

Hold on, they've still got almost 2 hours to rui it yet again.

[Volare]

So Ambrose ends up passing out in a submission hold with a face full of blood at Wrestlemania?

But Ambrose HAS to win the match now.

Either one.

[owenbrown]

Now if only Triple H had a real contender to his title.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Dean gonna take Lesnar to nutshot nation

"THAT'S MY PURSE!"

[James Steele]

If WWE fails to make Dean Ambrose a fucking STAR out of this, they have completely forgotten how to do it.

[road doggy dogg]

The first 75 minutes of this show have done a tremendous job of creating my interest in Wrestlemania.

FTFY

[Lock Jaw]

What is an FTFY

[Theo Dious]

YOU AIN'T BROKE ME TAKER... I MEAN, BROCK!

[road doggy dogg]

What is an FTFY

"fixed that for you" (CHANGED WORDS IN HIS QUOTE TO REFLECT MY THOUGHTS/FEELINGS)

[GD]

So we have three matches for Wrestlemania

[Lock Jaw]

Wonder if Halle Berry has ever watched wrestling in her life

[Lock Jaw]

yo, when I say UCE, ya'll say O!

[Lock Jaw]

UCE!

[Volare]

Oh....

[ClockShot]

The Ascension.

These guys are still around?

[owenbrown]

UCE! NO!

[Droford]

yo, when I say UCE, ya'll say O!

No

[Jazzy Foot]

So looks like Undertaker will lose his final match to Shane McMahon.

[Volare]

3D!!!!!!!!!!!!

[owenbrown]

DO YOU KNOW WHO WE ARE?!

[VSG]

What is an FTFY

Keep up with the times, LJ.

[Lock Jaw]

"We are not a nostalgia act" - *cut to shot of the back of D-Von's T-shirt that says "WAZZZZUP" on it*

[Lock Jaw]

Keep up with the times, LJ.

No. Times suck.

[DAMN iNATOR]

LOVE heel Dudleyz.

[Volare]

They talked smack bout' yo daddy Usos!!

[GD]

Technically, The Dudley Boyz are a 1-time WWE Tag Team Champions.

[owenbrown]

Fuck the Usos

[DAMN iNATOR]

Usos v. New Day v. Dudleyz v. Lucha Dragons wouldn't be a bad little match for the tag straps at WM 32, IMO.

[road doggy dogg]

"We are not a nostalgia act" - *cut to shot of the back of D-Von's T-shirt that says "WAZZZZUP" on it*

hahahaha so much this

[Volare]

Yay rematch....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Theo Dious]

"We are not a nostalgia act" - *cut to shot of the back of D-Von's T-shirt that says "WAZZZZUP" on it*

"We're not a nostalgia act. That's why we wear the same damn thing we wore 20 years ago."

[Volare]

Shit a new theme would help out in the slightest.

[Lock Jaw]

hahahaha so much this

Don't know why they didn't "switch up their look"....

On the first SD after their heel turn, they didn't wear the camo, but then went right back to it....

Also, don't wear WAZZZZZZUP T-Shirts....

[Droford]

Usos v. New Day v. Dudleyz v. Lucha Dragons wouldn't be a bad little match for the tag straps at WM 32, IMO.

TLC match

[Dark One]

If WWE fails to make Dean Ambrose a fucking STAR out of this, they have completely forgotten how to do it.

Hope you're all ready for THE FUN AND EXCITEMENT of Dean Ambrose losing clean in six minutes.

[ClockShot]

Styles beat ya, Y2J.

Time to move on.

[owenbrown]

CHRIS TROLLICHO!

[ClockShot]

Jim Harbaugh.

49ers were stupid to let him go.

[Droford]

Jim Harbsugh is hyped

[Lock Jaw]

1 match followed by 1 segment format tonight

[Dark One]

Jim Harbaugh.

49ers were stupid to let him go.

There's some kind of very loose parallel between that and AJ / TNA.

[road doggy dogg]

Speaking of wrestlers banking way too much on nostalgia, look it's "Y2J"

I swear wrestling is stuck in some weird time loop

[Volare]

This is the old school way of putting someone over.

[Volare]

Now THATS a nice reaction!

[Dark One]

Now THATS a nice reaction!

It's amazing how much a hot crowd helps a show.

Also how involved a crowd can be when you don't bore them to death for three hours.

[Volare]

This crowd knows what's up.

[Lock Jaw]

Really distracted by dude in a suit and tie with glasses and mustache in the crowd

[Volare]

I want KO to come out here now and go "Who the fuck are you to show up here?"

[road doggy dogg]

BAE-J STYLES

[Droford]

Jeristyles

[Emperor Smeat]

Another handshake by Jericho, another missed opportunity for a nut shot.

[road doggy dogg]

This feud is the most interesting I've found Jericho in years

[ClockShot]

Tag team match sense is tingling.

[owenbrown]

http://memegene.org/uploads/images/87a49047977c581a4608b9b6276a1f69/PbPaAO.jpg

[Lock Jaw]

Every time I see Heath Slater, I am always reminded of The Muppet Zoot

[Volare]

Y2AJ.....way to go Rose pretty smert there.

[road doggy dogg]

this is GARBAGE lol

[Icame4Hookers]

And on that note I'm off to bed.... night all

[Droford]

Jeristyles > y2aj

[Lock Jaw]

Jericho turning heel tonight!!

[Volare]

Or AJ does.....and calls some of his boys....

[ClockShot]

Jericho turning heel tonight!!

Yeah. I'm getting that feeling, too.

1 more match between Styles & Jericho at 'Mania, Styles wins, and Jericho leaves............again.

[Dark One]

Or AJ does.....and calls some of his boys....

My heart couldn't take it.

[ClockShot]

Or AJ does.....and calls some of his boys....

Rest of the Bullet Club on board with the company yet?

[Theo Dious]

"Sometimes great rivals make great partners. Remember when Jericho teamed up with Benoit-"
"SHUT UP!!!"

He does want to desperately get whatever precious thing Shane has in his special lock box.

[Theo Dious]

I'd have liked to have heard "If I couldn't beat the Undertaker at Wrestlemania in Hell in a Cell..."

[Dark One]

He does want to desperately get whatever precious thing Shane has in his special lock box.

Probably a video of him dropping several n-bombs while in bed with Bubba the Love Sponge's wife.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Did anyone notice that all of SHane's kids have douchey names?

[ClockShot]

Ooooh. Raw in Hartford.

Might go.

[Dark One]

Did anyone notice that all of SHane's kids have douchey names?

He's a rich white guy from Greenwich, CT. What did you expect? His kids to be named J'quizitan? Ozamataz?

[ClockShot]

Did anyone notice that all of SHane's kids have douchey names?

Atleast his kids weren't publicly announced to the masses when they were born.

[Dark One]

Risking the great momentum of this night by having yet another Roman vs. League

[Emperor Smeat]

Why does it look like the cake came out from a giant can?

[slik]

Not interested in this R-Truth/Goldust stuff at all tbh

[Volare]

Did Truth just turn heel there?

[ClockShot]

And we move on to the question on everyone's minds.

How do the Wyatts proceed to WrestleMania?

[Lock Jaw]

Confirmed: Triple H to have a Snickers-related entrance at Wrestlemania!

[Lock Jaw]

Kane, The Demon

[Volare]

I want Byron to start going insane with the mask on.....just start saying and mumbling random things.

[Ruien]

Strowman vs Ryback with Ryback going over. Harper and the other sheep guy vs Big Show and Kane pre show. No idea who Wyatt goes against though. Wyatt needs to go over though.

[Theo Dious]

"Bray Harper?" How the fuck much does this cocksucker make per year???

[Lock Jaw]

"Bray Harper?" How the fuck much does this cocksucker make per year???

I wasn't really paying attention, but I thought it was "Bray, Harper".....

[slik]

I think I'm still in shock about Shane vs Undertaker

Drebin or Dark One, pinch me

[Theo Dious]

If Ryback wants to evolve maybe some new entrance music would be in order.

[Theo Dious]

I wasn't really paying attention, but I thought it was "Bray, Harper".....

Even if that's what he said, it's pretty bad parallelism to call one guy by his first name and the other by his last.

[Theo Dious]

I think I'm still in shock about Shane vs Undertaker

Drebin or Dark One, pinch me

Queering don't make the world work, son.

[Mr. JL]

I'm still very confused with the choice of Shane McMahon VS The Undertaker.

[Lock Jaw]

If Ryback wants to evolve maybe some new entrance music would be in order.

His entrance music is fantastic, though. One of the best right now.

I could do with him cutting out the Feed Me More bit, like he did when he was a heel.

[Volare]

I'm still very confused with the choice of Shane McMahon VS The Undertaker.

Just the beginning of this, we haven't even scratched the surface on how Taker feels or what else could change.

[Lock Jaw]

Enough with the GILLBERG chants..... annoying....

[Theo Dious]

His entrance music is fantastic, though. One of the best right now.

I could do with him cutting out the Feed Me More bit, like he did when he was a heel.

I'd prefer a rearranged, harder & crunchier version without the lyrics that sound like my dad trying to sing a Metallica song.

[Theo Dious]

Enough with the GILLBERG chants..... annoying....

THEY STILL REMEMBER

Fans going banana for Big Show.... were yelling at him to retire a few months ago....

I think the Stone Cold Podcast helped remind a lot of people how likable he is.

[Volare]

RYBACK HEEL!!

[Theo Dious]

WTF Ryback randomly walks out.

[Lock Jaw]

WHY, THE RYBACK, WHY?!

[Emperor Smeat]

Enough with the GILLBERG chants..... annoying....

Even Ryback finally snapped because of it.

[Lock Jaw]

Maybe he left the stove on.... let's give him the benefit of the doubt....

[Theo Dious]

VINTAGE BAD NEWS BROWN

[Ruien]

Why make Ryback a heel again. Arg. So stupid.

[Lock Jaw]

Would make "more sense" if Ryback didn't rip and shred the Wyatts last night and win

[Volare]

HEEL ME MORE!

[Theo Dious]

http://i.imgur.com/v7Ixf5b.gif

TOO SOON

[Lock Jaw]

Why make Ryback a heel again. Arg. So stupid.

Following the path of his "fellow Titans", he will switch back and forth every year or so.

[Ruien]

Would make "more sense" if Ryback didn't rip and shred the Wyatts last night and win

Or spend like half the match as the legal man kicking ass.

[Theo Dious]

Why make Ryback a heel again. Arg. So stupid.

He's learning from his partners. Kane & Big Show have about 249 turns between them.

[Ruien]

Tonight's match I mean. On top of last night's match.

[Theo Dious]

Following the path of his "fellow Titans", he will switch back and forth every month or so.

Fixed.

[Ruien]

Following the path of his "fellow Titans", he will switch back and forth every year or so.

He's learning from his partners. Kane & Big Show have about 249 turns between them.

Very true and sad.

[Lock Jaw]

I will still give him the benefit of the doubt.... maybe he got a message saying someone had eaten part of his second dinner....

[Volare]

BOSS TIME!!

[slik]

Ryback vs Kane at WM?

[Dark One]

Reasonable explanation from Ryback instead of the usual cartoony Heel bullshit.

And now BOSS.

[Dark One]

Quick poll.

Whose music is worse? Naomi, Brie, or Cesaro?

[Innovator]

Sasha makes me want to live a healthier life

[Innovator]

Quick poll.

Who's music is worse? Naomi, Brie, or Cesaro?
Brie walking away

[Volare]

She just called Naomi boobookitty......gtfo.

[Lock Jaw]

Quick poll.

Who's music is worse? Naomi, Brie, or Cesaro?

Love and miss Cesaro's theme....

Brie and Naomi hard to call.... will say Naomi's....

[Lock Jaw]

Hope RAW doesn't end with Roman/Sheamus..... Greedy and want another "big moment" to end RAW.... Or at the very least something good.

[Dark One]

Hope RAW doesn't end with Roman/Sheamus..... Greedy and want another "big moment" to end RAW.... Or at the very least something good.

Don't worry!

A big moment will end Raw.

Roman Reigns will spear every member of the League of Nations except maybe Wade Barrett and then his music will play to end the night.

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: BOSS wins

[Theo Dious]

Sasha makes me want to live a healthier life

Moreso than Wilford Brimley?

[Volare]

SWEET BECKY!! :D

[Volare]

TRIPLE THREAT FOR MANIA PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

[Theo Dious]

Ric looks even sadder hanging off his daughter's shoulder than he did dangling from HHH's nutsack 10+ years ago.

[Theo Dious]

Also it's pretty rich of her to fake cry next to her dad.

[Theo Dious]

Prediction - Charlotte interferes in the match & it turns into a Triple Threat.

[Lock Jaw]

Hope that Sasha/Becky ends in some way to make a Triple Threat

[Volare]

Charlotte getting better on the stick. She plays a pretty good bitch.

[Dark One]

Additional quick poll:

Who is the worse promo, Charlotte or Brie?

[Dark One]

Charlotte getting better on the stick. She plays a pretty good bitch.

Going to have to disagree.

I'd say she's probably one of the most egregious offenders of "Reading This Off of Cue Cards" syndrome.

[Volare]

Going to have to disagree.

I'd say she's probably one of the most egregious offenders of "Reading This Off of Cue Cards" syndrome.

I didn't mind it. But meh who cares onto other RAW business!

[Lock Jaw]

Think Charlotte has a very weird "cadence" when speaking, but I do generally like her....

[Theo Dious]

Look, I don't care what he's wearing, Papa Fucking Shango is going into the Hall of Fame.

[Lock Jaw]

Godfather and Sting about on the same level

[Dark One]

Look, I don't care what he's wearing, Papa Fucking Shango is going into the Hall of Fame.

Honestly surprised they didn't put him is as Shango, since it's going to be kind of tricky talking about the Godfather character in the PG era.

Also how fucking surreal is that HoF 2016 picture with just Sting and fucking Papa Shango?

[Dark One]

Okay, it's not as surreal as this:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cb3qwxmUcAAXEOf.jpg

[Volare]

So once again, main event time and I could give 2 fucks about everyone involved.

[Dark One]

If you went back in time six hours and posted that Shane / Taker picture on these forums, no one would believe you.

[Volare]

Okay, it's not as surreal as this:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cb3qwxmUcAAXEOf.jpg

You know Shane O will be in shape and ready.

[Lock Jaw]

I'm still not sure I believe it..... like, that can't REALLY be the plan, can it?

[Lock Jaw]

Really miss Rusev being relevant....

[Lock Jaw]

Rusev still somehow the best part of this match/segment....

[Volare]

How dare you call the TV champ irrelevant! :)

[Theo Dious]

Honestly surprised they didn't put him is as Shango, since it's going to be kind of tricky talking about the Godfather character in the PG era.

Also how fucking surreal is that HoF 2016 picture with just Sting and fucking Papa Shango?

I guess if JBL is inducting him he isn't going in this year.

[Volare]

So yeah...........this match.

[Volare]

Here comes the god of JS.

[owenbrown]

THE CHAMP IS HERE!

[Volare]

It's WM22 all over again. Cheering H and booing Reigns.

Yeah this is the crowd reaction you want for your Wrestlemania main event program.

[owenbrown]

Triple H actually the face right now? :lol:

[Volare]

KILL HIM H KILL THE BASTARD!

[Dark One]

Really want to see Cena vs. Reigns just to see who the crowd would turn face.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at Reigns face.

[Volare]

YES! YES! YES! YES! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[owenbrown]

BLOOD ON RAW!!! :eek:

[Theo Dious]

They really beleive this will get the crowd behind Roman don't they.

[Volare]

THIS is how you end RAW!!

[owenbrown]

James Steele has just filled the cup again :lol:

[Volare]

Shit so did I.

[poopfromweiner dude]

Was pretty sweet how savagely HHH beat the pulp out of that guy #DX

[Volare]

Right now I believe this Wrestlemania crowd is going to go against Reigns. Trips looked more bad ass beating the shit out of Roman tonight than anything Roman has done in the last year.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Wonder if they'll do a double turn

[Volare]

Roman as Shane's muscle with a new regime on RAW?

[Corkscrewed]

Can't wait for Reigns to shrug off 9 sledgehammer shots at WM to pin HHH w/ the Superman Punch/Spear.

[Volare]

If chairs give him minor power per hit as was demonstrated last night, sledgehammers should return him to 100% instantly!

[Mr. Pierre]

Cena has to be Shane's rep to go against Taker w/Vince

Cena fighting for "the future" while Taker defends Vince and stays loyal

[Theo Dious]

Cena has to be Shane's rep to go against Taker w/Vince

Cena fighting for "the future" while Taker defends Vince and stays loyal

Yeah an injured man goes into Hell in a Cellm

[Volare]

So he's going heel then?


I mean this is kinda hard to pinpoint without all the facts. (This is all storyline perspective) If Cena comes back, gotta hear his opinion on the matter, but first I'd rather hear Taker and his opinion on the matter.

Then we need to know how Taker would align with Vince. If he does at all. Or does Cena finally turn heel here somehow?

IMO wayyyyy too much open space.

[BigCrippyZ]

If you went back in time six hours and posted that Shane / Taker picture on these forums, no one would believe you.

Shane?

It's true. No one believed it was possible when I brought it up.

[Savio]

Shane is going to fight Taker at HIAC?......wut.

[Corkscrewed]

So recaps of all the segments are on the WWE website... except HHH beating down Reigns. LOL. Undoubtedly being edited to adjust the crowd reaction.

[Clerk]

That's what Roman gets. You don't fuck with the game, the cerebral assassin Triple H. HUNTER. You don't disrespect Stephanie and expect no repercussions. And good to see shane o mac raw is war raw is biblical lelelelelelel (Rajah gesture)

[Disturbed316]

Pretty good seeing Shane back but no idea how they are going to book their way out of this one. No way should Shane be winning but at the same time he needs to 'take over'.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Pretty good seeing Shane back but no idea how they are going to book their way out of this one. No way should Shane be winning but at the same time he needs to 'take over'.

He might just be back for Mania. I mean, he's got a shitton of other business interests so he might not be back full time.

Still, looking forward to the match more than anything else I could think of they could do for Taker... Assuming Shane-O can still bump his arse off.

[Icame4Hookers]

Wasn't their rumors that when the Corporation Ministry broke up, Shane McMahon stated that they'll be back at some point???. I'm wondering if Undertaker is going to screw Vince McMahon and bring back Corp Ministry 2.0?

[James Steele]

The evil plot 17 years in the making...

[Evil Vito]

Okay, just reading the results and checking the thread.

I like Shane, but I can't say I have any interest in seeing a 46 year old Shane wrestle a 51 year old Undertaker in a match that is bound to be overbooked to the highest possible level. Doesn't move the needle for me on Mania at all. That being said, if he does somehow win "control" after Mania and they stick with it then good. The Authority angle has more than run its course.

Hardly unsurprising to hear the crowd booed Reigns and cheered him getting his ass kicked. There should be more of that in future Raws, all in smark cities.

[Rammsteinmad]

I totally agree, with one minor exception being that even if Shane wins control, it'll only be kayfabe anyway. Whilst the Authority is boring as fuck now and something fresh would help, I doubt Vince would be willing to legitimately give control of the company to Shane, Steph and Trips. The product will likely still be the same, mindless drivel.

[Rammsteinmad]

On a positive note, that New Day tag match on Raw was great!

Just a shame that Neville... who won a Slammy for newcomer of the year hasn't done fuck all since then.

[Hanso Amore]

Yeah, after the initial excitement of Shane coming back, I don't know how I feel about his match with taker,

Love the return and takeover angle.

Sad it's just a story and nothing behind the scenes. Or at least yet. Feel like so many of the things we love about NXT HHH were things Shane wanted to push and start before he gave up and left.

[road doggy dogg]

What exactly was Shane doing IRL all these years? Was it WWE-related or was he going all Julia Louis-Dreyfus and trying to forge his own path sans daddy's money?

[drave]

He went big into MMA at first. More than anything, he just didn't wanna muck with WWE and wanted to do his own thing.

wiki shit
