Monday Night RAW 5-9-16 Let's Get EXTREME

[Emperor Smeat]

At this point, probably safe to say Gallows/Anderson are more like Stooges for AJ than as a legit threat anymore. Almost every week Reigns manages to get some sort of upper hand against them.

Reigns-Styles itself has gotten very interesting the past couple of weeks though.

[Lock Jaw]

Crowd hot for this....

[Lock Jaw]

Like Facetime on the iPhone. Communication so Vince and look and yell at Byron.

WHY WOULD THAT BE IN A COMMENTATOR BOX, THOUGH

[Volare]

WHY WOULD THAT BE IN A COMMENTATOR BOX, THOUGH

DAMMIT IM GUESSING LEAVE ME ALONE WITH YOUR INTERROGATION TACTICS!!

[Heisenberg]

My cousin, not Bobby Lashley's cousin, is at RAW after being in Indiana and Illinois for a bunch of sporting events and ROH. He's a single animal

[slik]

fell asleep for a bit, how was the 6 man tag / anything cool happen since Rusev lost?

[Lock Jaw]

6 man tag and aftermath pretty cool.... crowd pretty hot for Reigns/AJ.....

[Heisenberg]

fell asleep for a bit, how was the 6 man tag / anything cool happen since Rusev lost?

Crowd was hot as piss for Reigns and Styles

[Ruien]

At this point, probably safe to say Gallows/Anderson are more like Stooges for AJ than a legit threat as a team to Reigns.

Reigns-Styles itself has gotten very interesting the past couple of weeks though.

They are clearly more dominant than the Usos. Being worse than Reigns won't make them stooges. Feel like they will be legit tag team once AJ is done with Reigns.

[slik]

nice

thanks @ heisenberg and lock jaw

[Ruien]

Lol at everyone making a big deal out of a chair. Seriously?

[Lock Jaw]

OOOOOOOOOOWENS

[KIRA]

Zack stole Disorderly Conducts entrance attire

[Ruien]

Really like how Owens is still looking strong without a title.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Owens on SC tomorrow night? Yeah, no way he wins this match NOW...:roll:

[Ruien]

Don't think Owens will win. He's kind of bigger than the title right now.

[Lock Jaw]

If he is bigger than the title, he won't be if he loses to Zack Ryder.

[Lock Jaw]

OOOOOOOOOOWENS

[Volare]

That was a sick fucking elbow from Ryder!

[KIRA]

Why does he hate Cole so much
he has spent a lot of time singling him out

[DAMN iNATOR]

Yeah.... or a secondary singles title.... not sure what you would call that...

Women's TV title, mayhaps? :?::-\

[Lock Jaw]

How you doin' indeed, Renee....

[Volare]

Jesus does she look tiny next to Cass lol.

[Ruien]

Lock Jaw, Big Cass is hitting on your girl. Maybe you should do a run in during his match.

[KIRA]

Dean Ambrose gonna kill him for that

[DAMN iNATOR]

Apparently Big Cass wanting to show Rene exactly why he's called that, huh? Or maybe it was Rene wishing he was shoeing her why...

[Lock Jaw]

Are you suggesting that I am Dean Ambrose?

[Ruien]

Are you suggesting that I am Dean Ambrose?

Or Renee's stalker. Whatever works for you.

Omg I hope Byron does not tell BOOTY Os at me.......

[Volare]

ITS A NEW DAY YES IT IS!!

[Ruien]

Lol. Love how they keep things fresh.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Your run comes to an end on (New) Day 273, guys.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: New Day

[Volare]

Loving this play on words with New Day.

[DAMN iNATOR]

LOL, Dudleys.

[Lock Jaw]

Getting kind of bored by New Day's antics....

LOCK JAW HAS JUST TURNED HEEL

[Ruien]

I miss when Stacy came out with the Dudleys ��

[slik]

love new day

[Volare]

Du Du Du Dudley Do-rights. (As Cass put it)

[DAMN iNATOR]

Getting kind of bored by New Day's antics....

LOCK JAW HAS JUST TURNED HEEL

Never really wanted to say it for fear of reprisal on the boards, but I've pretty much felt that way about them since their debut as a group.

Lock Jaw and The DAMN! Man, TPWW's less lame version of The Vaudevillains, the symbols of a better, bygone TPWW Forums Era!

[Ruien]

The Era of not wanting running water.

[Lock Jaw]

Never really wanted to say it for fear of reprisal on the boards, but I've pretty much felt that way about them since their debut as a group.

I loved them, and still think they are generally good.... just feel like they have "lost a lot" with their face turn.

[DAMN iNATOR]

The Era of not wanting running water.

Well that's just completely uncalled for.

[Lock Jaw]

THAT MAN HAS A FAMILY

[Ruien]

:( Sorry.

[Droford]

aww..kofi got pinned

Yay

[Ruien]

Hey look, those boring guys are here. Yey!

[Lock Jaw]

Vaudevillains killed my tv signal..... all macroblocking w/no audio now....

[Emperor Smeat]

Vaudevillans not a fan of trombones it seems. Maybe its not old tyme enough for their tastes.

[Lock Jaw]

Wow my feed is just totally broken now....

[DAMN iNATOR]

Is it just me, or does "Camp WWE" seem to have a slightly "Brickleberry"-esque vibe about it?

[Lock Jaw]

Surrounding channels seem to work, but Sportsnet 360 completely broken....

[Lock Jaw]

Macroblocking picture at least back now instead of just black.... audio cutting in and out.... pic breaking up still...

[slik]

here we go

[Emperor Smeat]

"Y2A" Dean Ambrose

[Lock Jaw]

Ambrose looked good in that jacket/doing that entrance..........

[slik]

damn...was looking forward to that match

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: not Blinky the Jacket

Poor Blinky, joining Mitch in prop heaven.

[Droford]

RIP lighty mcjacket

[Ruien]

damn...was looking forward to that match

Same. What the hell. They were building Cass up perfectly.

[Lock Jaw]

Big Cass is good at disappearing for a 7 foot tall man..... and you can't teach that!

[Lock Jaw]

Oh, there he is.

[Ruien]

God damn it. I was so pumped for tHis. Arg. Hate WWE.

[Lock Jaw]

Was a good segment... nothing to hate WWE about....

[Droford]

Jericho severely overpaid for the jacket

[Lock Jaw]

YOU IDIOT

[Droford]

Jericho read the script wrong or converted to Canadian

[Ruien]

Was a good segment... nothing to hate WWE about....

It was really good. WWE got me sucked in for Cass throughout the entire night though.

[Simple Fan]

Thought the beginning of Raw was shit up until the Miz/Zayn match. The Club feels so much like TNA calling the NWO, The Band. AJ has really brought the best out of Reigns I think. Felt like they ruined a good cowboy draw they had going by passing the chair to one another. Rusev should have squashed Sin Cara and that finish made him look weak, he was down for like a five count. Hope he wins at Xtreme Rules. Think the Dudleys eventually get in the title match at Extreme Rules.

Why does every finish have to be a roll up?

[DAMN iNATOR]

Wonder if that was the same one that could blink both red and blue or if that's a whole other jacket of Jeticho's. If it's the latter at least he still has that one, even if it never gets used again.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Why does every finish have to be a <b>distraction then*</b> roll up?

[Volare]

Cass looked liked a fucking monster grabbing Jericho at the end. God more of that and I'm going to want to see Lesnar vs Cass! :)

[Mr. Nerfect]

* Big Cass was a fucking star tonight. Good on him. This is going to sound really weird, but I kind of want to see Cass vs. Corbin now.

* Kind of feel like Dolph Ziggler needs to go away. Send him to New Japan for a while and have him really push that bubbling talent into the next level. It's also likely that he'll get more concussions and his career will be over or something.

* This Gorgeous Truth vs. Goldango stuff is definitely leading to Breeze & Dango turning on Goldust & Truth to form a heel unit, isn't it? I'd have been outraged if I were a USA executive and the only promotion for SmackDown was this comedy angle. Good thing they announced more stuff later.

* I like the introduction of Dana Brooke. She's basically a "young boy" to Emma, so she doesn't need to be amazing or protected too much. She's got the bitch heel stuff down too. Why not give this a shot? I assume this leads to Becky being saved by Sasha Banks after a 2-on-1 beat-down, leading to a tag match somewhere down the line. I liked the injured eye detail and Becky not joking around about it.

* They really had a lot of champions and #1 contenders lose on this show, didn't they? I sometimes wonder if the casual fan switches on, sees all these champions lose and think "What's the fucking point?" and then switch off. I kind of get what they were going with -- they want Charlotte to look vulnerable without Flair, they want Kalisto to look like he's got some sort of edge against Rusev and possibly tease Rusev keeping Lana away from his matches for heat, they wanted a way to get Zayn involved in the IC Title picture and people to hate that Miz has the belt, and they want heat on The Vaudevillains. But it all feels like it's in one big melting pot.

* I'm happy for Sin Cara though. I do wonder if some of these wins was to sort of let guys off the hook a bit if they were feeling job pressure after the firings. Paige also looked really good in her match. She showed up tonight. They probably could have had Rusev beat Sin Cara and Charlotte make Paige tap though.

* Weirdly intrigued by The Shining Stars. I wonder if they are just going to be a tag team or if they have something planned. A lot of people are completely down on them already because of how flat the vignettes have been, but I wouldn't be surprised if they do something sorta major. Not sure what it could be though.

* Zack Ryder performed well in his segment. I'm not the biggest fan of the guy, so it is a compliment coming from me. I feel like they could have had Shane announce the Owens vs. Ryder match for SmackDown and it would have been an extra hook. These three hour shows are fatiguing and it plays into how these guys are perceived by audiences.

* Corbin doesn't suck as much as some say. I'm not a huge fan, but he's got something there. It isn't "presence" as they tell us. He seems to work hard and has some tricky things to learn down. I like that he is presented as being a bit green and a guy that can make mistakes. It allows him to lose and not lose any monster credibility. When he gets momentum going he will still be taken seriously. He'll have "ripened." I thought he and Ziggler did a good job trying to create visuals for their shortish match that helped it stand out as organic, and Ziggler going for the spot he beat Corbin with at Payback and it not working this time played off that well.

* Ric Flair is hilarious as a crazy old man.

* AJ Styles and Roman Reigns have seriously good chemistry. The energy for that segment was wonderful. I thought Gallows looked like a bit of a chump going down so easily, but it is the World Heavyweight Champion and he's a guy finding his feet in WWE. He takes a loss, but then he comes back as a ruthless heel and helps beat down Reigns and The Usos. He's fine.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Didn't miss Ryback.

[Evil Vito]

Dolph Ziggler has jumped the shark. Seriously he's just not at all interesting anymore.

[Evil Vito]

Can't imagine Primo & Epico getting much more of a reaction than crickets, either. I enjoy them as performers and everything but I hardly see them being "Shining Stars" in this tag division.

[Evil Vito]

Oh, and Reigns has made Gallows and Anderson look nothing short of useless. Reigns and AJ on their own have done great work, though.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Just started watching. As sucky as it was for Enzo to get injured, man it's helped Cass. He's always been good on the mic, but he's getting to show it without Enzo being there.

[Simple Fan]

Man a lot of people really enjoyed Cass last night and I just thought he was ok. I like Big Cass but feel the SAWFT stuff will get old pretty quick. Felt like he was trying to remember lines during his Rene interview and really didn't care for the Jericho stuff but I wanted see him wrestle or at least get in there and best him up with Ambrose instead of just throwing him back in.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Dolph Ziggler has jumped the shark. Seriously he's just not at all interesting anymore.

And why the FUCK is he a brunette now? Not a good look, IMHO.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Oh, and Reigns has made Gallows and Anderson look nothing short of useless. Reigns and AJ on their own have done great work, though.

Always tough for teams coming in. They're getting a lotmof tv time and are going to have to take.their lumps an I hope hope hope they earn Tue respect of the office and are used properly.

[Evil Vito]

I'm glad they're getting time and actually expected them to work with The Usos straight off the bat (before they even debuted really...The Usos just felt like the right team to start with). But since that has rolled into the main event angle it just means they need to get pounded by the "top guy".

They're great though. Hope WWE keep them together for a while instead of just breaking them up within 5 months like most teams nowadays.

[Evil Vito]

If they do split the group prematurely, I could definitely see Anderson having a successful run in the midcard.

Afraid they wouldn't know what to do with Gallows as a solo act though. They had the perfect chance to make something of him in 2010 when he split away from the mega heel Punk but instead he just wrestled Vance Archer on Superstars and got released.

[Simple Fan]

Gallows has jumped from stable to stable for a while. Straight Edge Society to Aces & Eights to Bullet Club and now just The Club. Works well in tag matches so I can see why. Not really much of a singles competitor.
