WWE RAW 3/6/17 feat. Festival of Streak Despair, A bunch of people talking, and maybe some wrestling included

[Dark One]

Is this Foley's punishment when Steph brought him into her office?

I think he's been punished enough just by being on Raw.

[ClockShot]

This is last week all over again. Sasha got a mic, Charlotte comes out with a mic, Nia Jax comes out with a mic, Steph comes out with a mic, etc.

[Shisen Kopf]

Ugh, Bayley.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

A SeconT chance

[DAMN iNATOR]

Kind of hilarious how quickly it took RAW to completely dismantle everything about Bayley's character from NXT.

Somehow Bayley was ok with Sasha interfering for her to win the belt but now is completely against it.

They were playing it up as Bayley not knowing about Sasha interfering. Far-fetched, I know, but that's what they were/are going for.

TAG MATCH BROTHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ClockShot]

Seriously wonder if Charlotte is a biker chick.

Dresses like that all the time when it comes to casual wear on camera.

[ClockShot]

3/4 so far.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Yeah, Charlotte, you were "robbed" because you got caught trying to cheat...🙄

And of course here comes Stephanie sticking her stupid bitch brown-nose where it doesn't belong.

[RP]

why are they chanting CM Punk? LOL Steph just killed them

[GD]

Stephanie plowing through the Punk chants. What a pro :yes:

[ClockShot]

Angela.

[Droford]

Sasha vs Steph
Shane vs AJ

Fuck the mcmahons

[DAMN iNATOR]

Angela.

Wrong. Tony Danza's the boss.

Or maybe it's Bruce Springsteen. So confused right now.

[RP]

Stephanie just dropped the mic haha

[slik]

where is nia jax

[DAMN iNATOR]

why are they chanting CM Punk? LOL Steph just killed them

Hmm, I sure wonder why a Chicago crowd would be chanting for Punk...real head-scratcher.

[Droford]

where is nia jax
Shes hanging out with Braun not being on tv aftef tgey both finally lost

[DAMN iNATOR]

Stephanie just dropped the mic haha

Now she just needs to have that vasectomy so she's not always so bitchy.

[RP]

Hmm, I sure wonder why a Chicago crowd would be chanting for Punk...real head-scratcher.

ya i know. I mean he's not a wrestler in the WWE anymore so it's pretty retarded.

[DAMN iNATOR]

where is nia jax

Seems like a triple threat would be the better WM option. Nia to make it a 4-way just seems like a clusterfuck.

That and Nia is nowhere near Women's Championship title contender or titleholder status.

[Droford]

I wonder if Vince wishes he had called Wrestlemania something besides Wrestle...mania

[Droford]

Sportsentertainmentpalooza

[DAMN iNATOR]

ya i know. I mean he's not a wrestler in the WWE anymore so it's pretty retarded.

I dunno, he is the hometown guy. Would it really be any more "retarded" than say a Miami crowd chanting for The Rock?

[RP]

anymore? no. Equally? yes

[ClockShot]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Match going slow.

[Droford]

I dunno, he is the hometown guy. Would it really be any more "retarded" than say a Miami crowd chanting for The Rock?

Need to have Brooklyn Brawler chants at Summerslam

[DAMN iNATOR]

I see you noticed the warning signs of jonesin' as well ;)

We should be detectives.

I dunno, I hear SlikJaw Investigations can be very litigious when it comes to competition...:-\ I'll need some more time to think on it.

[Droford]

Sasha Banks & AJ Styles vs Steph and Shane interpromotional authority vs pissed off worker screwed out of a title match at Wrestlemania match

[Droford]

Uhhuh

[Emperor Smeat]

Why didn't Charlotte just attack Bayley if she never wanted Sasha to win?

[RP]

Why didn't Charlotte just attack Bayley if she never wanted Sasha to win?

reasons

[Dark One]

Why didn't Charlotte just attack Bayley if she never wanted Sasha to win?

I'm not entirely certain they keep the same writing team from night to night. Probably get temps on Craigslist at 2PM the day of.

[Lock Jaw]

They should set Rollins rehab update to the hit song "Beautiful Day"

Weak ass music in this.... missed opportunity......

[Lock Jaw]

Triple H taking shots at CM Punk and crowd is non the wiser

[Droford]

World Wrestling Enterbeardment

[Emperor Smeat]

Doing a recap hype video and then a video interview right after seems like a really good way to kill a crowd.

[Droford]

Did anyone call HHH "the man"

[Emperor Smeat]

Best thing to happen with that Orton-Bray segment last week was the pose:

http://i.imgur.com/N9eLYMu.gif

[RP]

I dont even care about this last match. It means pretty much nothing. We already know KO is facing Jericho at WM. It's obviously ending in some sort of interference.

[GD]

Back when Jericho was in talks with TNA, I would've loved this matchup.

[RP]

Did i mention I was going to Smackdown tomorrow?

[DAMN iNATOR]

Doing a recap hype video and then a video interview right after seems like a really good way to kill a crowd.

They didn't have enough poison-tipped darts.

[Lock Jaw]

Aw yeah, Evil Emma

[GD]

She's baaaaaaaaaack!

[Sepholio]

LMAO 16 more weeks until Emma.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Did anyone call HHH "the man"

hhh did

[DAMN iNATOR]

Dear WWE

Please come up with a better theme for Samoa Joe. That is all.

[GD]

It's better than the first one.

[RP]

Great ending. Great show. Great great great. Great follow up from Fastlane.

[Emperor Smeat]

Good match overall between Joe and Jericho.

[Dark One]

Joe learned well from WWE video games.

[RP]

Fuck me i thought we would make it out of this without seeing Roman Reigns

[Emperor Smeat]

[RP]

Fucking hell Braun sounds like Hulk Hogan.

[Droford]

Well shit

[RP]

LOL they sped up Undertakers dongs.

No one speeds up Undertakers dongs.

[Emperor Smeat]

So that's why the WWE went with a smaller ramp in recent weeks. They got finally tired of Taker's slow ass entrance walk.

[Dark One]

If we get Braun/Taker, Fastlane is excused.

[Droford]

If you do Taker vs Braun why the fuck have him lose to Reigns last night

Absolutely stupud

[Dark One]

If we get Braun/Taker, Fastlane is excused.

I cannot believe I posted this. One year ago, I would have dreaded that at Mania.

[Droford]

Taker should be like..I don't want you..I want Roman

[RP]

Oh so Braun is a bitch now. Great!

I LOVE THIS WRITING!

[Dark One]

Braun currently deucing.

[RP]

WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED LOL

[Droford]

Lol

[Emperor Smeat]

Would have been in tears laughing had RAW ended with Braun simply walking away into the crowd and Taker continuing with the blank stare.

[Droford]

WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED LOL

Braun just buried himself

[Dark One]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[RP]

Braun has gone from the most dominant force to jobbing to Reigns and then bitching out to Undertaker who works once a month and is like 50 and has two bad hips.

WWE at it's finest right now! Cant wait for the A show!

[Droford]

Reigns not have matching red soles lol

[Droford]

Well this should get Roman over as a heel for 27 days

[RP]

Taker needs help getting off the toilet at this point, but hey! He'll beat Reigns and make Braun back down like a bitch..
right

rightttttt

[Droford]

Battle for the yard at WM

[Emperor Smeat]

Roman could avoided this all had he just walked around Taker to deal with Braun. Even with the shorter ramp, he'd still have enough time for a brawl and leave before Taker steps into the ring.

[RP]

Seeya in 4 weeks Taker!

[Triple A]

Damn just woke up... crowd seems good. Will watch YouTube clips now. I hope Raw was good!

[RP]

It was terrible.

[Dark One]

Bar was really low to start with but it was a lot better overall than the past 2 weeks and Fastlane.

[Lock Jaw]

I liked the first hour (I think. It was so long ago.)

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Three Way Big Dog Dance at Mania?

[Triple A]

Watching YouTube clips...

Neville is a really good heel

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, Neville being in the Cruiserweight main event division made me go from not caring about it at all, to me caring about it some.... and now with Aries in the mix, I care about it "fully".

Still don't care for a lot of the "lower card" cruiserweights.....

[Dark One]

Greatest moment in WWE History:

[Dark One]

The best part is even Cole losing it and trying to hide it as best he can while Corey just can't even attempt to keep it together.

[Tom Guycott]

Dear WWE

Please come up with a better theme for Samoa Joe. That is all.

It's alright by me.

Only way it could be better is if they actually licenced "Simon Says".

[Tom Guycott]

LOL they sped up Undertakers dongs.

No one speeds up Undertakers dongs.

So, tonight's RAW was all about dongs & packages?

[DAMN iNATOR]

It's alright by me.

Only way it could be better is if they actually licenced "Simon Says".

Maybe it's just me, but it sounds like bad music you'd hear in a horror-themed porno or something...it's one of those that every time I hear it, the TV goes on mute.

[Triple A]

Samoa Joe's theme is great imo!

[XL]

Compared to his original NXT theme we should settle for what we've got!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

His original theme was like Hurricane Helms first song. Terrible.

[Ruien]

So glad I turned this off. I wanted to see Braun but I wasn't waiting the last hour to do it. And then he got put out like a bitch.

Hopefully Braun gets to wrestle the Big Show at Mania. I don't see anyone else really left that is Braun worthy. Maybe make a 10 on 1 match where Braun has to eliminate everyone 1 by 1. Have shitty people like Zayn and Enzo be part of the match.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Honestly I watched more RAW than I have in a long time and the first hour was good but it's just sooooooo fucking long. How do they not understand how to book a tag division? Don't they want all segments to be good?

Anyways, it's not terrible but never worth the 3 hours. I only lasted til 1030. It's insane that this show is 3 hours. I will never attempt to watch a full RAW again. There is no point.

[Big Vic]

Samoa Joe's theme is great imo!

I like it too.

I like how they are utilizing the 3 current teams. New Day is above the titles so I don't mind them doing random stuff. They do need more teams. Not just actual teams but more jobber teams too.

[Big Vic]

I wish the tag champs could travel between brands.

[Outsider]

I skipped RAW this week after the shite that was Fastlane. Sounds like it was the right call.

Still, at least Smackdown tonight.

[The CyNick]

Great great show. Excellent build to Mania, which looks like an all time great show at this point.

[Big Vic]

CyNick how do you feel about Raws womens division?

[Jordan]

Joe's theme is one of the best!

[Cool King]

• Zayn vs Owens #3313.

Alright.

• Even though the Cruiserweight Division is balls, the thought of Neville/Aries at WrestleMania has me interested for now, I just hope they don't find a way to screw it up.

But they probably will.

• So a triple threat tag team match for the titles at WrestleMania it is then?

• I'm so happy that I finally managed to avoid the next Hall of Fame inductee being spoiled for me.

Rick Rude was a great surprise and this years class is looking pretty sweet.

• Poor Daivari still jobbing. Still though, Kendrick/Tozawa is probably the best thing about the Crusierweight Division so far. It's pretty much the only thing from the division that has me seriously interested at the moment.

As I said before, Neville/Aries has my interest for now, but it's just begun but hopefully that'll turn into a serious interest too real soon.

• The New Day annoy me now.

The Shining Stars really shouldn't be jobbing. Instead, they should be over on SmackDown.

I really hope that when the times comes and that ice-cream wagon thing opens, that someone jumps out of it and kicks the shit out of New Day.

• Oh, it's Bayley, Sasha and Charlotte, AKA "75% of the Raw Women's Division"

For the vast majority of the segment, Bayley just looked depressed and she and Sasha really need to invest in more mic training.

Instead of teasing who will face who at WresteMania, just cut right to the chase and announce a fatal four way for the title at WrestleMania with Bayley, Banks, Charlotte and Jax.

I would say that a triple threat match will probably happen, but I can't imagine Jax being left out or facing someone else, as there isn't anyone else for her to face.

• As Undertaker was making his way to the ring, I thought about the idea of Strowman/Undertaker at WrestleMania and I actually liked the idea.

However, for some reason, his loss to Reigns at Fastlane has made Strowman a pussy and he now runs away when someone looks at him, even though for around half a year now, he's been screaming his head off that he wants competition, but when he's face to face with the biggest competition that is The Undertaker, he runs away?

I understand the whole "But It's The Undertaker! blah blah blah respect" and so on but c'mon now. Strowman facing Undertaker at WrestleMania should be better than sex for Strowman and he could have stood up to Undertaker and and challenged him.

Instead, we get Strowman running away and Reigns appearing and standing up to Undertaker and the two pretty much set for WrestleMania. The only plus I can think of for this match is the thought of over 74,000 people booing the hell out of Reigns if he wins (and he probably will).

I can imagine that sounding pretty cool.

So what's left for Strowman and WrestleMania now that he appears to be a little bitch? I can only guess that he'll be entered into the Andre The Giant Battle Royal where he'll dominate and win.

• Overall, Raw was Raw and SmackDown will be SmackDown, which I look forward to.

[Simple Fan]

What did they just do to Strowman? Completely out of character for him, a whole year of wanting better competition and he runs.

[Stickman]

Taker vs Braun now makes no sense after Braun jobs to Reigns.
Taker vs Reigns makes more sense but the xpac heat of Reigns just makes him unbearable.

Bayley is awful on the mic. I want to plant my seed in Charolette.

Foley has been terrible as GM.

Three hours is too much. Way too many commercials.

Brock vs Lesner should be fine.

Y2Goat vs KGoatewns will be great.

Wtf cares about cruiserweights?

All in all decent show but so many flaws. The writers and Vince are out of touch.

[Gerard]

Fuck me theyre still doing that "lets gaze at the Wrestlemania sign" bullshit like they're hinting at something that is already set in stone. :roll:

[erickman]

guess he was the bully heel walks away when challenged let roman take the slam . kind of wish they would add strowman to the mania to be easyer on taker.

[The CyNick]

CyNick how do you feel about Raws womens division?

I have really soured on Bayley and Saaha. Bayley especially isn't doing it for me. I liked what they did last night setting up the multi person match. Interesting to see if they add anything else to the match.

I kinda feel bad for Charlotte in that she's so far superior to these other women, and you can see she has another level that the others can't get to.

But yeah, I liked the storyline, good storytelling over the past few months to make the triple threat logical. Almost feel like it's leading to a double turn at Mania with Charlotte going face and one of the other girl's going heel.

[Big Vic]

What did they just do to Strowman? Completely out of character for him, a whole year of wanting better competition and he runs.

He did the same to big show about 30 days ago.

[Simple Fan]

He did the same to big show about 30 days ago.

Yeah but then he beat Big Show and I forgot about it. Should he beat Undertaker I might forget about this.

[Juan]

Fuck me theyre still doing that "lets gaze at the Wrestlemania sign" bullshit like they're hinting at something that is already set in stone. :roll:

Are you serious with this post?

[Gerard]

Are you serious with this post?

Yes we know wrestlemania is coming up, we know they need to advertise it, just gets tedious seeing this glazed over "i just came on the neighbours cat" look on peoples faces when looking at that sign. :shifty:

At this point the big ppv's are just glorified raw's with there being so many of them, even wrestlemania doesn't hold any special appeal for me anymore. Whats different about a ppv? More attendance at it and people are more likely to kick out of multiple finishers. Bleh

[DAMN iNATOR]

Speaking of attendance, it will be interesting (IMO) to see if Camping World Stadium's record attendance of 74,635 @ WM XXIV will be broken by the 33rd edition.

I'm thinking they squeeze in anywhere from 75,000-78,000ish.
