[Shisen Kopf]

Too early in the day for this to be official

[slik]

In honor of Great Khali's great walk to the ring it had to be started early.

[Sixx]

slik just really, really, really wants to be the one who started the thread.

[Shisen Kopf]

Official threads should be no more than 3 hours before show stsrt time unless it is one of the Big 4 ppv. In that case 5 hours prior. Please refer to the forum rule book. Owenbrown can show you if you'd like.

[Big Vic]

slik just really, really, really wants to be the one who started the thread.

He wanted to get his tweet (that has 2 likes) out there.

[slik]

It's never too early for Double Double E

[Shisen Kopf]

Very Ryan Clark-esque

[Shisen Kopf]

This thread isnt official until 5pm ET. MODS please rename thread

[Anybody Thrilla]

There are already three matches announced for the show. I don't see an issue with talking about it now.

[Shisen Kopf]

We need to have some standards here. Can't just make every thread official. I guess I just care about this place more.

[rez]

This thread is unholy and is setting a bad precedent. I might as well make next year's Wrestlemania thread

[slik]

You have my blessing to make the WM34 thread

[Shisen Kopf]

Ok, it's official now

[Lock Jaw]

* Can Seth Rollins/Dean Ambrose stop Bo Dallas/Curt Axel!? Will The Miz be nearby!?

I though last week they made it a 3 vs. 2 match.........

[rez]

What'd everyone think of GoT?

[Dark One]

I have a massive headache, so for the love of god, please let this be a tolerable show.

[ClockShot]

Just address the situation with Braun from the get go and I'll be happy.

[rez]

WHAT situation?

[ClockShot]

Oh, you know. How he should be facing Brock for the title at Summerslam.

JASON JORDAN

Put Braun in the match Kurt, .........................................................OR ELSE!

[ClockShot]

OOH AH OOH AH OOH AH OOH AH!

[Droford]

We already did the "I dont fear Lesnar Lesnar fears me" angle

[KIRA]

BRAUN IS A GOD AMONG MEN

These two are more over than Roman

[KIRA]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Emperor Smeat]

Too much talking, not enough random brawling going on right now.

[Dark One]

Cole seems really jovially while discussing Roman's attempted murder of Braun Strowman.

Like he was reading a story from Yahoo news about how a puppy rescued a duckling from a sewer drain.

[ClockShot]

We're getting there.

[RP]

Braun please kill Roman right now. Please.

[Emperor Smeat]

Like Cena's "Gatekeeper" stuff, this Reigns promo would be a lot more effective if he was an actual heel.

[ClockShot]

YEA!

[RP]

Kurt should have said. " And Jason Jordan ".

[KIRA]

GODDAMN it make Roman a heel

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

[Sepholio]

Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman are so awesome. They should be a team and kill everyone.

[KIRA]

Strowman Worldbreaker

[ClockShot]

FUCK 'EM UP BRAUN!

[owenbrown]

BRAUN SMASH!

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at the last 2 security guys.

Didn't they do the same "locker room empties out" spot for Joe-Lesnar?

[owenbrown]

entire locker room of heels does not constitute the entire locker room

[Droford]

Fatal 4 way LUMBERJACK MATCH

[Dark One]

However much they paid that last security dude, it was not enough.

[Emperor Smeat]

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

[Triple A]

4 way match should be cool...

[ClockShot]

Great opener.

[Triple A]

Sux that SmackDown has been bad since the brand split but it's cool that Raw has gotten better...

[Droford]

Big Cass better not lose tonight

[ClockShot]

Big Cass vs. Enzo.

This like, the 4th week in a row.

Just like Finn vs. Sampson COMING UP NEXT?!

[KIRA]

However much they paid that last security dude, it was not enough.

His widow will be well compensated

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The Demon Vs. The Drifter in case you missed it the last 30 times.

[slik]

PWinsider is reporting they are doing another 'Superstar Shakeup' after SummerSlam

[slik]

aka about SD about to get ravaged even further

[slik]

I would cheer Roman if he was a heel
Roman would be a good heel

[KIRA]

Philly needs to get out its candles

[KIRA]

Get ready for the mother of all serenades

[RP]

Elias get a haircut?

[Emperor Smeat]

One of these days the crowd and Balor will let Drifter finish his song without interruption.

[KIRA]

Got tears in my eyes right now

[ClockShot]

So, Finn is the only guy with some kind of stage entrance now.

Right?

[KIRA]

Finn Balor is a dickcheese for that

[owenbrown]

aren't guitar shots © 2017 Jeff Jarrett & Global Force wow gold ?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They wont announce Balor's weight? Is he a woman?

[ClockShot]

Finn grabbed some of Cesaro's tape.

[KIRA]

How is tape doing anything but painting a target on his arm

[owenbrown]

They wont announce Balor's weight? Is he a woman?

They announce Nia Jax's weight

[owenbrown]

Did I mention this Raw since it's in DC needs more Batista?

http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Batista-Waving-Goodbye.gif

[KIRA]

aren't guitar shots © 2017 Jeff Jarrett & Global Force wow gold ?

Guarantee Jeff Jarrett actually thinks that

[Rebecca Reigns]

Roman Reigns, my husband, kicked all those little Kentucky hillbilly asses in the opening segment!!!

[Rebecca Reigns]

Hey Owen, John Cena beat Rusev last night. John Cena is a icon.

[Rebecca Reigns]

If Roman Reigns was out here right now he would Superman Punch Kentucky Balor and Elias Hillbilly.

[Blonde Moment]

Guarantee Jeff Jarrett actually thinks that
He should take that up with the Honkytonk Man

[KIRA]

Thank You Booker t FOR POINTING OUT THE STUPIDITY OF TAPE

[Rebecca Reigns]

Wow the crowd looks like mountain folk, are they in Kentucky or something tonight?!

[slik]

I thought Finn's beard was part of the tape for a second

[KIRA]

LMAO Booker T is a fan of the Drifter

[Triple A]

I like the idea of these guys having a feud consisting only of Raw matches even though the matches are not good / "regular ass WWE matches"

[KIRA]

Wow the crowd looks like mountain folk, are they in Kentucky or something tonight?!

Philly

[Triple A]

Another commercial... Does this match need to be this long...

[Triple A]

Philly

They are in Washington, DC I think

[owenbrown]

They are in DC

[Triple A]

Wish every WWE match wasn't the same

[Rebecca Reigns]

I really have gotten into erotic fan fiction about Roman Reigns

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Another commercial... Does this match need to be this long...

They took a break within 30 seconds of the match. It's not that long yet just feels like it cause of the first break.

[slik]

This match doesn't bother me @ Triple A, it has drifted along nicely IMO

[Droford]

Philly

DC actually, I could have gone

[slik]

I didn't know this was NO DQ

[Emperor Smeat]

That was a pretty cool DERP spot by Bray.

[ClockShot]

Why Corey?

Because it's no disqualification. Dummy.

[KIRA]

Hes gotten better at that walk

[owenbrown]

oh for the love of God, Sonic. :nono:

[KIRA]

DC actually, I could have gone

oh my bad

[Dark One]

I have a massive headache, so for the love of god, please let this be a tolerable show.

I have lost all will to live.

[Rebecca Reigns]

I had a sex dream about Gertner and my mom earlier. Gertner is a god among men.

[Droford]

=Jason jordan will probably wrestle Curt Hawkins

[Dark One]

Feel like I'm going to have to post this during every replay of this reveal.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/srbE-LYPxxA?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Droford]

BINGO

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

=Jason jordan will probably wrestle Curt Hawkins

Degenerate Gambling gene paid off for you.

[Droford]

ENSHOW

[owenbrown]

Is Emma on the way to the island of Future Endeavors?

[Dark One]

A good father wouldn't have cockblocked their son when Emma was threatening to date them.

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE should go all out with this Kurt Angle story and have Kurt do father-son segments with Jordan. Like go fishing together and Angle puts an ankle lock on a fish trying to escape or go to a baseball game and Angle puts the ankle lock on the ump for a bad call.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

A good father wouldn't have cockblocked their son when Emma was threatening to date them.

woo woo woo, you know it.

[Dark One]

WWE should go all out with this Kurt Angle story and have Kurt do father-son segments with Jordan. Like go fishing together and Angle puts an ankle lock on a fish trying to escape or go to a baseball game and Angle puts the ankle lock on the ump for a bad call.

Bullshit.

Jason Jordan falls off a tricycle and Kurt puts one of the two back wheels in an ankle lock OR NO BUYS.

[Dark One]

87% sure I've seen this Raw before already.

[owenbrown]

Raw is the real life version of the movie Groundhog Day

[Emperor Smeat]

Cass' theme is really terrible and generic which sort of fits him so I guess its actually a good theme overall.

[Dark One]

Cass' theme is really terrible and generic which sort of fits him so I guess its actually a good theme overall.

It sounds like what would have happened if Blake and Murphys' gimmick had suddenly become clowns in the circus in the middle of their tag title reign in NXT.

[Droford]

yay

[Triple A]

threatening to snap his neck

[Dark One]

Holy shit, how is this segment still going on? It feels like it should be midnight.

[Triple A]

The crowd sounds weird tonight... sounds like a soccer match crowd, with a constant droning sound coming from them

[Emperor Smeat]

Legit nowhere else to go with this Cass-Enzo/Big Show feud besides Big Show going over Cass which would be really dumb. Enzo's too much of a joke character to get the last laugh needed.

[rez]

got the show on in the background. sounds like it sux

[Lock Jaw]

Started RAW late...... unfortunately caught up now......

[KIRA]

Emma gets a match

[Lock Jaw]

Wish they didn't cut Emma's entrance...... give her that much at least.......

[Dark One]

Started RAW late...... unfortunately caught up now......

The mistake you made was starting.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

What's with the ranch dressing bottle sign is that some sort of joke?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

CHARLEY CARUSO TO SAVE THIS SHOW!

[Lock Jaw]

The mistake you made was starting.

But then I wouldn't be able to hang out in this thread with the TPWW Universe

[owenbrown]

Tozawa gives zero fucks

[Lock Jaw]

Tozawa gives zero fucks

If this were true, he would still be fat.

#BringBackFatTozawa

[KIRA]

I dont think Neville should ever lose that belt

[Emperor Smeat]

I dont think Neville should ever lose that belt

Should superglue or tape it to his body so if he ever does lose, the new champion has to carry Neville around as the belt.

[Lock Jaw]

I like when Daivari says "shomo"

[Dark One]

Ariya Daivari laying out Neville?

Get the fuck out of here.

[KIRA]

RAINMAAAAAAKAAAAAAAesque

[Savio]

Thanks to some poster here I can only focus on Sasha's hairline now.

[Dark One]

Bayley and Sasha need to have a Brooklyn level match for this show not to be a waste of time.

[KIRA]

Thanks to some poster here I can only focus on Sasha's hairline now.

what about it

[owenbrown]

turn Bayley heel

[Lock Jaw]

Thanks to some poster here I can only focus on Sasha's hairline now.

Spent like 30 minutes the other day looking up pics of Sasha's hairline instead of going to sleep.......

[Lock Jaw]

Keep wanting/expecting Braun Strowman's sentences to end with "brother".......

[owenbrown]

don't think Batista in his own hometown can save this show tonight

http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view/512755/batista-crying-o.gif

[Lock Jaw]

What's Renee doing on RAW...... TRAITOR

[KIRA]

may that security guy RIP he died doing his job however futile

[Lock Jaw]

They are giving an awful lot of hype to Jason Jordan fighting Curt Hawkins.

Would be funny if he loses.

[KIRA]

This is some as the world turns bullshit

[A.J.K]

The only to save this show would be to throw a curveball and add a surprise partner for rollins and ambrose.

[KIRA]

I can see why hes getting such a massive push

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Time for the main event.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

What's with Philly and the rumble? Jeez.

[Emperor Smeat]

They are giving an awful lot of hype to Jason Jordan fighting Curt Hawkins.

Would be funny if he loses.

Maybe Jordan snaps and becomes a badass submission machine like his papa if he does lose tonight.

[KIRA]

Wha wha wait WWE letting the fact that Rollins betrayed Ambrose be a point of tension
Thats basic competent storytelling what am I watching?

[Lock Jaw]

IT'S BOSS TIME!!!!!!!!

[owenbrown]

Wha wha wait WWE letting the fact that Rollins betrayed Ambrose be a point of tension
Thats basic competent storytelling what am I watching?

Holy continuity Batman

[Dark One]

Tom Phillips would NOT wear a T-Shirt with "Team Gag Reflex" on it.

[Droford]

Team Gag Reflex isnt PG

[Lock Jaw]

"Interesting" at Scott Stamford coming back to life and doing the WWE News Slam again instead of Cathy Kelly.......

[KIRA]

Now Sashas kneecaps join her back on the injured/reserve list

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Team Gag Reflex isnt PG

Sure it is. But Alexia has a history of anorexia. So, it's not a great thing for her to have to say.

[Lock Jaw]

Good match

Very poor Frog Splash

Weird ending

[Emperor Smeat]

Sasha-Bayley was good but that ending barely makes any sense.

[Sepholio]

Sasha heel turn?

[GD]

That was a solid women's #1 contender's match.

[Shisen Kopf]

Ugh Bayley.

[Lock Jaw]

I like when Booker T says:

"It's gunna be GOOD!"

or

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww here we go!"

[KIRA]

I wanna see Baley turn heel I'd love to see the misery ridden Eddie Guerrero wcw heel turn she said she'd have

[Dark One]

"Alexa versus Bayley at Summerslam. They've had many battles in the past."

And they were all awful.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I'm not sure how I feel about that result. It's nice Bayley gets a title shot, but if she loses at SummerSlam, I fear that actually may well destroy her credibility and her career. :-\

[Lock Jaw]

Incredibly hyped up Curt Hawkins match

[Dark One]

I like when Booker T says:

"It's gunna be GOOD!"

or

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww here we go!"

[KIRA]

Its the Power of love-er Curt Hawkins

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

He's speaking clear English and they need subtitles?

[KIRA]

Hes got Sideshow bobs hair

[Lock Jaw]

He's speaking clear English and they need subtitles?

Some people are hearing impaired in this world.

[Lock Jaw]

Good to hear that being Kurt Angle's son has increased Jason Jordan's fan response exponentially

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Some people are hearing impaired in this world.

Yeah and that's why TVs have closed captioning.

[Lock Jaw]

"Just tossing Kurt Angle around" - Michael Cole

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah and that's why TVs have closed captioning.

Very good.

[Dark One]

If he was a good father, he'd be in the front row yelling at the referee.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Grand Solitude for the win.

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess Angle is holding back on teaching Jordan how to channel his inner Angle if he's not winning with an Olympic Slam or Ankle Lock yet.

[Lock Jaw]

I bought a box of Jos Louis today...... have had the urge to buy a box for like 3+ years, but never did......

Gonna eat one now......

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I bought a box of Jos Louis today...... have had the urge to buy a box for like 3+ years, but never did......

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

CHARLY CARUSO AND THE REVIVAL. THERE IS A GOD.

[GD]

Luke and Gallows - face turn?

[Dark One]

Luke and Gallows - face turn?

I hope so, especially if it lets them show off some Talk'N'Shop personality.

[Savio]

Gallows and Anderson face now?

[Frank Drebin]

Pretty excited for Club/Revival. If this was a ppv it might steal the show.

[A.J.K]

I hope so, especially if it lets them show off some Talk'N'Shop personality.

Chad 2 Badd?

[Emperor Smeat]

This match is a big sign of how dire RAW's tag situation on the face side is if a random heel vs heel match is needed for RAW's weekly tag quota.

[A.J.K]

I think The Good Brothers would make a good face team, IMHO

[Emperor Smeat]

Meh at the Hardy's causing a distraction. Match was pretty decent beforehand.

[rez]

RIP to the late, great Mitch Hedberg.

"Kurt Angle's Son" Jason Jordan the latest in bad nicknames.......

[KIRA]

Corey Graves stealing Booker's catchphrase

[Frank Drebin]

Miz still the most underrated guy on the roster. Everyone takes him for granted.

[KIRA]

Like every other team they are part of by the time Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel get proper gear to match the gimmick it will have died

[Frank Drebin]

Forgot how emotional that Axel IC title win was, it was so long ago. Winning it on Father's Day was a really nice touch.

[Dark One]

"Kurt Angle's Son" Jason Jordan the latest in bad nicknames.......

Don't worry. In two weeks:

"The Biological Progeny of WWE's Original Olympian" Jason Jordan.

[Emperor Smeat]

Miz still the most underrated guy on the roster. Everyone takes him for granted.

Yeup one of the very few guys who can get legit boo reactions from the crowd as a heel.

[rez]

miztourage is so forced

[Triple A]

Fell asleep but watching YouTube clips

Dean Ambrose always seems so sloppy... did he "used to be really good" like 4 years ago or something

[Sepholio]

I dunno, he's always seemed sloppy to me, but I think he is doing it on purpose for his gimmick or something. It works in a way.

[Tom Guycott]

Okay... so in all seriousness, how many guys in WWE use a "big boot" as their finisher? Cass, Sheamus, and Drew all do. Are there any more I'm not thinking of?

[Sepholio]

A lot of guys do use it. I swear there are a couple more. Same with the super kick.

[slik]

Fell asleep but watching YouTube clips




omg I did the same thing...fell asleep after Balor vs Sampson ....seems like I missed nothing and the opening segment was the 'must watch' segment of the week tbh
