First ever RAW is Leap(ing Lanny Poffo) Day Thread

[Lock Jaw]

Wish Sasha/Becky was later on in the show and not this match..... build it up throughout the show with packages about Sasha and Becky.... backstage comments.... etc..... make it seem like a "big deal"....

[Mr. Nerfect]

I could have imagined them doing that too, but it doesn't have the same "pop."

[Mr. Nerfect]

Has Rusev done his Body Slam Challenge yet?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Can totally see it being Cena.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Will probably be Mark Henry.

[Lock Jaw]

Grimace wins

[Dark One]

Has Rusev done his Body Slam Challenge yet?

Nope. They just basically described it as a thing that kind of happened backstage maybe possibly.

[Crimson]

Brie tapped while being punched lol

[Lock Jaw]

Forgot that I loved Lana theme.....

[harmsway]

Noid claims he doesn't watch raw..... cynick +1

[DAMN iNATOR]

Naomi's theme so aw-aw-aw-aw-aw-awful...seriously. Can they really not come up with anything better for her?

[Lock Jaw]

How can you not like

I'M A MAYYYYAYYYYYYAYYYYYAYYYYYAYYYYYAYYYY repeating?!

[Droford]

Badstreet..

[DAMN iNATOR]

Forgot that I loved Lana theme.....

[Emperor Smeat]

Crowd either is really bored right now or don't care about the Freebirds considering the lack of cheers for the Hall announcement.

[DAMN iNATOR]

How can you not like

I'M A MAYYYYAYYYYYYAYYYYYAYYYYYAYYYYYAYYYY repeating?!

Because of that pesky curse of not being tone-deaf.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Crowd either is really bored right now or don't care about the Freebirds considering the lack of cheers for the Hall announcement.

Probably both.

Poor brad armstrong

[DAMN iNATOR]

Seems like they're doing "real bad" at trying to keep the secret that Charlotte will most likely defend her title in a triple-threat. Stupid.

[Emperor Smeat]

So the thing in Shane's lock box is just Vince's will?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Noid claims he doesn't watch raw..... cynick +1

I'm watching RAW drunk this week for the first time in ages. I haven't watched a RAW since November.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I know this is professional wrestling, but if Shane has some sort of secret Vince doesn't want getting out, why doesn't he just expose it after he loses the WrestleMania match? This shit is wonky.

[Droford]

I won't start any more Raw threads..I'm a jinx

[Mr. Nerfect]

"I did something and now I'm calling in that favor to run the company."
"OK, but you have to face The Undertaker in Hell in a Cell."

It's fine. It's like spending the night in the haunted house. But the whole "he needs to win" thing is stupid, because even if people like Shane they're not going to want to see him beat Taker. I guess they could do the "Taker beats the piss out of Shane and forfeits" thing. Whatever.

This whole blackmail element has just thrown too much in there and they can't juggle all the balls.

[DAMN iNATOR]

[GD]

WWE.com isn't quite sure as to who held the retired World Heavyweight Championship belt.

"Mass shooting"? Really Michael Cole? Really?

[Dark One]

"Mass shooting"? Really Michael Cole? Really?

"MASH Unit"

[Lock Jaw]

UUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

[Lock Jaw]

Terrible

[DAMN iNATOR]

Orton was the last to hold it before unifying it v. Cena at TLC on Sunday, December 15th, 2013.

[Lock Jaw]

Even more forced on the barricade

[DAMN iNATOR]

"MASH Unit"

Except even the 4077th wouldn't take Ambrose. And they had Klinger.

[Droford]

Impromptu title match

[GD]

"MASH Unit"

Makes a lot of sense :p

[Emperor Smeat]

Did Cole completely forget the League has been working for the Authority for a while now.

[Droford]

Well that was fun

[Lock Jaw]

Seems dumb to sidetrack Ambrose/Lesnar to use Ambrose to get Roman Reigns/Triple H over......

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: random Byron tossing

[Droford]

Poor byron

[DAMN iNATOR]

The earth ISN'T flat, though, J.B.L. It's an oblate spheroid.

[Droford]

Hhh almost nailed the ref with the tv in the nuts

[Lock Jaw]

Do they have new monitors on the desk?!

[CSL]

lol guy in the crowd shouting "THIS IS UNPROFESSIONAL"

[Dark One]

Mostly dead crowd still booing Hunter now that he's beating up Ambrose.

As opposed to a mostly hot crowd cheering Hunter when he was beating up Reigns.

Not sure what WWE needs, here.

[Lock Jaw]

Do they have new monitors on the desk?!

Revelation of the night

[DAMN iNATOR]

lol guy in the crowd shouting "THIS IS UNPROFESSIONAL"

Another guy saying "You should know better!" or something to Triple H, and maybe same guy, maybe different one yelling, "You scumbag!"

It's always awesome to hear isolated people in the crowd shouting whatever random shit.

[Dark One]

Outside of Dean Ambrose, that may have been one of the worst Raws in a really long time.

[Lock Jaw]

Gonna go to sleep now.... dead tired....

[owenbrown]

It's going to be a long 5 weeks

[Sepholio]

double you tea eff.

[slik]

Who's watching RAW tonight?

me

[slik]

Hoping Wyatt starts his Mania feud. Excited to see what they do with Ryback. They messed up so mad with his last heel run.

They don't seem to have a plan for the Wyatts at the moment. Maybe Wyatts vs Lucha Dragons on the pre-show?

[slik]

Wyatts vs R-Truth/Goldust on the pre-show?

[slik]

Please for the love of God call an audible for WM

Not happening BRO. It will be HHH vs DEAN AMBROSIA at 'March to WrestleMania: Exclusively on the WWE Network' then back to normal.

[slik]

Just make it a 4 way for the Title at Mania. That would be kinda awesome

Put your PANTIES back on CORNDAD, BRO. It's not happening BRO.

[slik]

Insane Chrisley Knows Best commercial

Keep it in your pants BRO, f*****g PERV

[slik]

Good thing they can find such important work for Nattie

Maybe eating too many meatball subs will lead to the return of Gassy Natalia

[slik]

Can't believe that they will be going with Big Show as Kevin Owens' opponent at Wrestlemania....

*traumatized dog gif*

Yeah, I'm pretty kanefused by this as well. There's no way a creative team sat around and decided that honestly was a match fans wanted to see. It's just...ugh.

[slik]

Has Rusev done his Body Slam Challenge yet?

There is zero chance this bodyslam challenge thing they randomly forgot to do tonight despite hyping it all day on social media will lead anywhere other than a WrestleMania moment where The Rock bodyslams Rusev, thus technically not wrestling a match and technically not just cutting a promo. Then drives off in the car.

[rad dggy dg]

It's going to be a long 5 weeks

YOLO

[harmsway]

No roman,no brock,no heyman,no shane. 2 mins of taker. Thanks for settling Nashville

[Big Vic]

Wait Dean Ambrose is hospitalized by Brock Lesnar and shows up the same night to fight.

Roman Reigns breaks his nose and is totally absent from Raw.

[Corkscrewed]

Dean Ambrose is indestructible (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYFcT9sDSBs).

[harmsway]

Dean ambrose is midcard for life

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

He's already main evented several PPVs.

[harmsway]

How many ppv's has dean headlined as a singles competitor? Does 2 mean several? You are the most awesome poster in tpdub history std. You never eat twinkies.Best friends for life.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Hell in a Cell/TLC 2014, Survivor Series 2015,

[harmsway]

I would point out that two means "a couple" and not several but you would probably call human resources and tattle to management again with your sensitivity. So I'll just say, std you are the best poster in tpdub history,you never eat twinkies

[Big Vic]

Didn't he main event like 3 PPVs in a row this past year with Seth Rollins?

WWE PayBack, MITB and some other one?

[Damian Rey 2.0]

He also main evented Fastlane, and Survivor Series.
