The Raw After Mania Thread - 04/04/16

[Ermaximus]

Ooooooooooooooooooh boy. Champ's out next.

Those boos are going to be thunderous. I can't wait!

[Lock Jaw]

Eva Marie only.

Hopefully her call up was permanent and she is next champ in line!

[Tom Guycott]

How long before Michael Cole starts saying "Apollo is in Crews Control"?

Less than a month.

HE CALLS THAT THE REAR VIEW!

[slik]

I gotta say, aside from fucking awful placed shitty commercial breaks, this first hour flew by

I concur Road Doggy Doggasaurus

[Frank Drebin]

He DARED to challenge the system

:rofl:

[Lock Jaw]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Volare]

Booooooooooo

[road doggy dogg]

"Royal Pains" show has guy that looks like TPWWforums.com poster screech

[ClockShot]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Ermaximus]

God those boos.

[Lock Jaw]

Wonder if they had Roman stop coming from the crowd for his own safety....

[VSG]

This is going to be very ugly in a few minutes.

[Mercenary]

Roman needs to heel it up here

[Shadrick]

"I didn't win this BECAUSE of you people, I won this IN SPITE OF YOU PEOPLE!" would be gold right now

[owenbrown]

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, YOUR BABYFACE WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION

[Volare]

Wank ass pheasant BOOoOoOoOoOoO

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

coming out like a heel

[Frank Drebin]

Hope all that explaining by the announcers about the crowd sit well with all the kiddies who don't get why the good guy is getting shat on.

[ClockShot]

ANYONE BUT YOU!

[slik]

I would be fine with Cena challenging Roman to a match at EXTREME RULES

[Lock Jaw]

Should cut a monster heel promo right now

[Ermaximus]

It's okay Roman, they're just saying Boourns!

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at sign saying "don't mute out voices"

[Corndad]

This man is not liked too much, eh?

[slik]

Vince about to cut the crowd's mic again...

[Frank Drebin]

"I didn't win this BECAUSE of you people, I won this IN SPITE OF YOU PEOPLE!" would be gold right now

Too obvious.

[owenbrown]

Eva Marie only.

Hopefully her call up was permanent and she is next champ in line!

Lock Jaw are you on crack?

[Corndad]

Who thought this promo was a good idea

[Volare]

Roman, you ain't gonna win em so shut up.

[Emperor Smeat]

This is like Vickie Guerrero level of booing right now

[Locke]

here comes a great promo

[Frank Drebin]

Getting ready for the pop of the night for Cesaro

[Lock Jaw]

Feel like Roman Reigns would make a good Batista-esque heel....

[Ermaximus]

Cue Cena.

[owenbrown]

This needs to be like Nitro complete with trash throwing

[slik]

Come on CENA win the belt and restore ORDER

...what am I saying...

[Lock Jaw]

Lock Jaw are you on crack?

:shifty:

[Innovator]

Better get in the deep end

[ClockShot]

STYLES WAS SUPPOSED TO WIN!

[Lock Jaw]

Jeri-Scarf

[Frank Drebin]

scarfico

[slik]

Yeah, cuz they are going to boo Jericho....

[Ermaximus]

Jericho works much better.

[road doggy dogg]

lol @ Reigns' reaction when Jericho's music hit

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

started off nicely but i see this getting meandering. fingers crossed

[owenbrown]

Come on CENA win the belt and restore ORDER

...what am I saying...

slik are YOU on crack?

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: crowd cheering after Jericho tells them to shut up

[Frank Drebin]

I would smoke crack with slik and Lock Jaw RN

[Lock Jaw]

Are they chanting WE ARE IDIOTS

[road doggy dogg]

most apt chant they've had all night

[owenbrown]

did Reigns and Jericho take sedatives before coming out to promo?

[Lock Jaw]

They don't want none

[road doggy dogg]

internet favorite AJ Styles

[Ermaximus]

I smell a fatal four way for a title shot.

[Lock Jaw]

did Reigns and Jericho take sedatives before coming out to promo?

Horse tranquilizers all the rage backstage

[ClockShot]

Here he is.

[Lock Jaw]

ELIMINATION CHAMBER

[Frank Drebin]

KILL STEEN KILL

[road doggy dogg]

love AJ's music + hair

[slik]

I would smoke crack with slik and Lock Jaw RN

tpww crack buddies stable

[ClockShot]

They're all coming out?!

[GD]

Would love a 3-PPV long feud between Owens and Reigns.

[Frank Drebin]

I LIKE SAMI ZAYN

[road doggy dogg]

I wouldn't mind if this was the main event

Romans isn't awful when he's not required to carry the brunt of a full match

[road doggy dogg]

wonder what "executive decision" Shane will make.....

[Lock Jaw]

Ha ha at Reigns being all dismissive of everybody.... total heel move.....

[road doggy dogg]

I like how Jericho and AJ are just like "...well, fuck it, let's go"

[slik]

yeah burying the roster and acting douchey def the way to get over with the crowd

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

GAD MAGGEL THIS CROWD KNOWS HOW TO HAVE FUN!

[Frank Drebin]

As much as I loved that......what was the point?

[road doggy dogg]

...so is anything actually gonna come from that?

[slik]

OWENBROWN

U ready to see The Roman Empire FALL homeboy?

[road doggy dogg]

I'm guessing Shane will make the final four match between KO/AJ/SZ/Y2J be the main event for Raw as rumored?

[road doggy dogg]

for #1 contender or something

[Lock Jaw]

As much as I loved that......what was the point?

"Setting the stage" for all the top contenders that Roman will run through in the coming months

[Frank Drebin]

usos/dudleys bathroom break. Sorry

[Lock Jaw]

Gonna make myself some food....

[road doggy dogg]

Usos/Dudleyz... sorry but yawn

[slik]

hate usos/dudleys

PLEASE RETIRE to both...feel like usos have been here for 16 years or something

[Emperor Smeat]

Should have just had the entire lockeroom come out for an impromptu Rumble brawl if the whole purpose of that was nothing.

Two tag matches so far that should have had tonight's stips for Mania instead.

[Locke]

the reason Vince McMahon let Shane McMahon run the show is because he (i.e., Vince McMahon) didn't want to be upstaged so he felt he had to get the last word in and "panicked" and didn't know what to say so he let Shane run the show instead of just having security take him (i.e., Shane McMahon) away

[Outsider]

Feels like tonight might be essentially a blow off show and back to business next week

[Lock Jaw]

Usos used to be awesome.... wish they could be awesome again.....

[Lock Jaw]

Roman looking like a frog/toad

[road doggy dogg]

the hell? USA showing NHL playoffs? is that normal?

[owenbrown]

Shane "Mr. Obvious" McMahon

[Ermaximus]

Should have just had the entire lockeroom come out for an impromptu Rumble brawl if the whole purpose of that was nothing.

Two tag matches so far that should have had tonight's stips for Mania instead.

And somehow Ryder wins this too.

[road doggy dogg]

I'm guessing Shane will make the final four match between KO/AJ/SZ/Y2J be the main event for Raw as rumored?



for #1 contender or something

yeah... tipsters points... yeah...

obvious but yeah

[Lock Jaw]

Much the same with most NXT guys, Baron Corbin's entrance has lost something on the main roster.... not as good....

[GD]

Since when did people started liking Corbin?

[road doggy dogg]

Since when did people started liking Corbin?

are you seriously asking why a post-WM Raw crowd is cheering for an NXT callup

idk what to tell you

[Lock Jaw]

Corbin already getting live mic time on RAW....

[ClockShot]

Oh Ziggy.

Wish you didn't have to job.

[Ermaximus]

Did he say he lost his smile?

[GD]

That receding hairline though

[owenbrown]

ugh, Ziggler

[Crimson]

Give Corbin a Raven like gimmick. Corbins Flock

[GD]

That navel

[Ermaximus]

That ref looks like Teddy Long.

[Lock Jaw]

That receding hairline though

And his belly button is a line that goes across most of his stomach

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

no michael cole i wouldn't remember dolph ziggler competing in the ladder match since he's not selling it at all so how the fuck would I know?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

the receding hairline makes him look more heelish

[road doggy dogg]

;gs;kghs;kfhgs;kfhs;knjh @ commercial

[road doggy dogg]

the receding hairline makes him look more heelish

100p

[Lock Jaw]

Baron Corbin in catering:

[slik]

went to do something else...is usos/dudleys over

[Ermaximus]

Awww man, who put wrestling between my commercials?

[Lock Jaw]

What the hell were they chanting....

LET'S GO EVIL-EVIL SUCKS

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

what about this raw would concern vince in regards to being anymore of a shitty trainwreck than RAW usually is? Hope he can pinpoint something "kayfabe" wise.

[slik]

baron corbin wrestling dolph ziggler...did usos/dudleys happen

[Lock Jaw]

Now chanting WE WANT SANDY?

[Lock Jaw]

Random YOU SOLD OUT chant now?!

[Ermaximus]

You Sold Out?

[ClockShot]

Okay. Match over.

Moving right along.

[Emperor Smeat]

Dumb ending but nice End of Days spot on the outside. Ref doesn't seem like he really cared that much for Ziggy's well-being.

[Lock Jaw]

Love the End of Days.....

Hope it never gets killed as a finisher....

[dronepool]

Should I catch a stream now or wait after RAW is over? Don't have USA Network anymore and WM sucked... how has RAW been?

[Emperor Smeat]

According to the sheets, Lesnar-Ambrose was supposed to be a lot more vicious at least in terms of weapons but Vince kept refusing Ambrose's ideas for the match.

Probably the same reason why the match felt too short as well.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

this was on the ref. I hope he remembers that

[Lock Jaw]

this was on the ref. I hope he remembers that

May need a formal written reminder

[Ermaximus]

LOL, win a trip to Universal Studios with Titus O'Neill!

Lillian jumping the gun announcing it as a title match

[Ermaximus]

Ryder vs Miz?

[Lock Jaw]

Zack Ryder should start an IC Title Open Invitational Challenge

And lose on the first one.

[Ermaximus]

So now he jobs to Miz and loses the title?

[Heisenberg]

How did taker707 get ringside to Mania and RAW??? He loves schoolgirls, the fuck. Goddammit

[slik]

Sami Zayn possibly injured

Sigh

[Emperor Smeat]

Feel really happy for Ryder.

[Lock Jaw]

What if MOJO RAWLEY debuts and wins the title from his bro Zack Ryder?!

That would be so HYPE!

[ClockShot]

Awwwwwwwwww.

[Lock Jaw]

Dad in a Superman shirt the second night in a row.....

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

The Miz has a certain "quality" about him but it's never exciting to see him.

[Emperor Smeat]

Miz's jacket looks dumb.

Miz beating Ryder tonight would be a waste

[road doggy dogg]

"You ruined MY Wrestlemania moment"

does he forget that time he headlined

[ClockShot]

Don't drop it to Miz. C'mon.

[road doggy dogg]

"You ruined MY Wrestlemania moment"

does he forget that time he headlined

I mean, the rest of us tried to so...

[Ermaximus]

HYPE BROS!!!

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

poor rider

[ClockShot]

Lillian gonna get an earful later on.

[Ermaximus]

FFS USA!

[Ermaximus]

So by my count only Sasha/Summer Rae has had no commercial breaks.

[road doggy dogg]

COMMERCIAL BREAK MID-IC TITLE MATCH

AMAZING

[Ruien]

Ryder will get the win. For some reason I see them building Ryder up to have a long run. Miz is just a weak opponent to be the first step in rebuilding Ryder.

[Ermaximus]

COMMERCIAL BREAK MID-IC TITLE MATCH

AMAZING

Now I remember why I stopped watching.

I hope you're right, but I'm going to hold you to that

[#1-norm-fan]

Wait. Why is Shane in charge of Raw tonight?

[slik]

Wait. Why is Shane in charge of Raw tonight?

Because Vince said Shane was trying to upstage him.

Yes, seriously.

[Frank Drebin]

How did taker707 get ringside to Mania and RAW??? He loves schoolgirls, the fuck. Goddammit

lol....that really is him isn't it? Or at least the guy in his avatar.

[Ermaximus]

Wait. Why is Shane in charge of Raw tonight?

He bicycle kicked Taker into a spike pit freeing all the souls of WM past.

[Frank Drebin]

Sami Zayn possibly injured

Sigh

I didnt see anything

[Outsider]

Not feeling RAW tonight. Hope something interesting would happen but nothing yet and am going to have to go to bed in a minute.

Needless to say something exciting will happen as soon as I do.

[slik]

live crowd reporting it on twitter @drebs_salty_franks

[Heisenberg]

lol....that really is him isn't it? Or at least the guy in his avatar.

I swear to shit it was him. STD wanted to beat his ass, but I told not to in case loving children with physical touch was contagious

[VSG]

Ugh I feel like

this was the title change that Falconarrow mentioned.

[slik]

Here are all the rumored spoilers for tonight BTW, pretty accurate so far...



https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CfPdXhbUAAAIqu0.jpg

[Corndad]

Wow this crowd kinda went dead for this match

[Ermaximus]

Feels like everyone is stealing Punk's shit.

Ryback does the high knees. Jericho with the Best in the World shtick. Now Ryder with the elbow drop.

[#1-norm-fan]

Because Vince said Shane was trying to upstage him.

Yes, seriously.

Well alright then.

[Frank Drebin]

Ryder's dad is jacked

[ClockShot]

Awwww man.

Sooooooooooooo bad.

[Lock Jaw]

MAAARRRRRRRYYYYYSSSSSEEEEEEE

[Ermaximus]

WHAT A FUCKING WASTE!

[Corndad]

What a waste

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

lol as soon as ruien made his prediction i knew it had to go the opposite way

[Lock Jaw]

If this leads to Maryse coming back to manage Miz, I am all for it.

[Outsider]

.....ffs

[ClockShot]

She back on a deal or something?

[road doggy dogg]

omg...

[VSG]

Oh shit Maryse is back. I am happy with this match result now :D

[slik]

^

Can check off two more off that list I posted...

[Mercenary]

Maryase makes me happy in a special way

[Frank Drebin]

Maryse is still hot.

[Ruien]

Poor Ryder. Hope he enjoyed his payday.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

doesn't do anyone any favours. Miz will just job to everyone and now Ryder looks like a jobber. typical WWE booking

[Hanso Amore]

Well there is one of the returns

[road doggy dogg]

this is really stupid

really bad

[CSL]

MARYYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE

[owenbrown]

MARYSE! :eek:

[Hanso Amore]

So I think they only let Ryder win to have a spot with that picture

[ClockShot]

......................what was the point?

[Emperor Smeat]

Cool to see Maryse back but bit sad that Ryder's reign was nothing more than a couple of backstage Mania commercials and the Scott Hall mention.

[road doggy dogg]

Kevin Owens kind of looks like a Pokemon

[Maluco]

Feels like everyone is stealing Punk's shit.

Ryback does the high knees. Jericho with the Best in the World shtick. Now Ryder with the elbow drop.

Pretty sure Jericho did that bit before Punk did, did he not? Also the elbow drop will always be Randy's. Punks one wasn't very good imo

[Frank Drebin]

Ryder got his moment. Good for him. I'm not broken up about him losing. Everyone called it anyway.

[Lock Jaw]

doesn't do anyone any favours. Miz will just job to everyone and now Ryder looks like a jobber. typical WWE booking

Hope Miz and Maryse become the new "power couple" and dominate everything....

As for Ryder, he was already a jobber, but now he's a jobber who had a "moment of a lifetime".

[road doggy dogg]

Ryder got his moment. Good for him. I'm not broken up about him losing. Everyone called it anyway.

I agree with all of this.

Except The Miz. Man he just does nothing for me.

[Lock Jaw]

Kevin Owens kind of looks like a Pokemon

Which one

Is it Mudkip

[slik]

Bryan Alvarez reporting Taker told people he was 'done' after last night...

...isn't he on the European Tour?

[slik]

Maryse is pretty good on the mic/in the ring from what I remember

[Outsider]

Who is left in NXT? Is it just going to be Bayley wrestling herself?

[Ermaximus]

Jesus! Just ravage the nXt roster why don't you?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Hope Miz and Maryse become the new "power couple" and dominate everything....

As for Ryder, he was already a jobber, but now he's a jobber who had a "moment of a lifetime".

they will not be a power couple and it'll just make the belt look pathetic. Miz has held this belt 5 times already, look where he is. Let's call a spade a spade Locky.

At least Ryder would be something different. He wouldn't get booked "well" but having the belt would give him some shine for a couple of months and some tv time. Miz will just be the miz now avec maryse.

[slik]

Vaudevillians on Main Roster is fine with me

[Lock Jaw]

Vaudevillains with the Smackdown debut. Did wonders for Tyler Breeze.

[#1-norm-fan]

Gonna miss liking The Vaudevillians.

[ClockShot]

Yep. This will end in a brawl.

[Frank Drebin]

live crowd reporting it on twitter @drebs_salty_franks

ARE YOU ON CRACK?!?!

[Emperor Smeat]

Bryan Alvarez reporting Taker told people he was 'done' after last night...

...isn't he on the European Tour?

Past few years have been like that with reports of him being done after every Mania match.

Would be a big letdown if that really was his retirement match though.

[Ermaximus]

Vaudevillains with the Smackdown debut. Did wonders for Tyler Breeze.

Basically this.

[Lock Jaw]

Did I mention that the lady who was singing Sasha's theme last night was terrible?

[VSG]

Which one

Is it Mudkip

Sure ain't Jigglypuff cause he keeps me up.

[Frank Drebin]

I agree with all of this.

Except The Miz. Man he just does nothing for me.

Miz hasn't done much to evolve, but I still think he's one of the more underrated pure heels on the roster.

[road doggy dogg]

Bayley during this?

[Volare]

Heyyyyyvwe want some Bayley!!

[Corndad]

Bayyyyy lay

[Volare]

Charlotte gonna snap lol.

[Hanso Amore]

This is awkward

[road doggy dogg]

"Bayley's not here" ...lol random comment

[ClockShot]

Just fight already.

[Emperor Smeat]

They picked a really bad time for a Women's title appreciation speech.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol Charlotte trying to have a serious moment with this crowd.

[slik]

crowd kind of being shitty right now

[Volare]

Fucking right JBL!

[Lock Jaw]

What the hell is this song that the fans keep singing at Bayley.... can't understand a word of it except OOH AH

[Hanso Amore]

This is kind of fucked ruining what's supposed to be a nice segment for the women

[Frank Drebin]

Vaudevillians on Main Roster is fine with me

Agree. They got nothing in NxT. Give it a shot. Hope they don't get Breezed or Ascension'd

[VSG]

Natalya seems legit pissed/butt hurt here.

[Volare]

What the hell is this song that the fans keep singing at Bayley.... can't understand a word of it except OOH AH

Heyyyyyy, hey Bayley(ooh ah). I wanna know, if you'll be my girl.

[road doggy dogg]

what are they saying

[road doggy dogg]

"Women's Wrestling" ?

[Frank Drebin]

Sad Eva Marie face.

[VSG]

What the hell is this song that the fans keep singing at Bayley.... can't understand a word of it except OOH AH

Bayley instead of Baby

[#1-norm-fan]

Come onnnnnn Bailey.

[Volare]

Becky wants to murder, and I'm ok with that!

[Hanso Amore]

Is awful

[road doggy dogg]

lol between Becky and Shane, they're really going overboard with the makeup team tonight

[ClockShot]

Oh. The walk out. Unexpected.

[Corndad]

Hey Nattie

[Frank Drebin]

I like Nattie and all but I hope she's not the first opponent since they just had a thing at that thing.

[Volare]

Dammit no Bayley.

[Hanso Amore]

Damn Nattie looking fine

[Frank Drebin]

an hour to go, and.....not much so far.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

3 hour raws are painful

[Hanso Amore]

This is just a way to have Bret show up for some matches and have a surrogate Hitman vs Naitch

[road doggy dogg]

Well, that was a missed opportunity

[Ermaximus]

This show has been rather...awful.

[#1-norm-fan]

Bret coming back to be in Natty's corner/having some promo wars with Ric Flair that no one can understand would be kinda cool.

[Volare]

PISS BREAK!
