WWE RAW 10/30/17 feat. Elias' Quest to Finish a Song, A Terrible Kane Push, and #UnderSiege Fallout

[A.J.K]

I think Mickie might win the title

Cole has been hyping that Stat about Mickie tying trish for lucky # 7.

[ClockShot]

Bring it home girls. Braun needs ample time to kill.

[Dark One]

Save_Us.BRAUN

[ClockShot]

Ouch.

[Dark One]

Just a reminder that I guess it a full hour before you people.

I think they might do the title swap to try have more than like one match that isn't Heel vs Heel

Unless it doesn't happen. In which case you guys were first.

[Lock Jaw]

Alexa wearing red coverings over her Supergirl boots, but coverings keep coming down......

[Lock Jaw]

.... Well that was a weird finish

[Emperor Smeat]

Bliss has a better Knockout Punch than Big Show

[ClockShot]

BACKSTAGE NOW!

[ClockShot]

Interesting finish.

Damn. Down goes Tyson....I mean Mickie.

[Dark One]

Wat

[Lock Jaw]

Miz trying to leave the arena because the show is over...... yelling at the camera people "Stop filming me leaving! As long as you film me leaving, the show isn't over!"

[Lock Jaw]

Braun gonna be the driver

"Buckle Up, Mizzie"

[Dark One]

"WHERE TO... MIKE?"

[Emperor Smeat]

Umm didn't Braun get thrown into a white garbage truck?

[owenbrown]

they couldn't get the same garbage truck from last week?

[ClockShot]

That looked pre-taped.

[Lock Jaw]

Braun just been chilling in a pile of trash for two weeks

[Dark One]

[owenbrown]

I'd be fine with Braun being IC champ

[Lock Jaw]

Umm didn't Braun get thrown into a white garbage truck?

Obviously he had to hitch onto another garbage truck at the dump :roll:

[owenbrown]

clean up your mess, Dark One, the TPWW Universe doesn't need to see that :shifty:

[Lock Jaw]

Was waiting for Finn Balor theme when Braun was doing the "slowly stand up" bit

[Dark One]

Umm didn't Braun get thrown into a white garbage truck?

Obviously he had to hitch onto another garbage truck at the dump :roll:

Any time someone tries to kill him with a vehicle, Braun uses solely that vehicle as transportation until he gets his revenge.

[KIRA]

BRUAN

[slik]

Braun and Miz are two of my favorites so I'm 100% ok with them feuding.

[Lock Jaw]

Braun right now is the face they wish Roman Reigns was

[Dark One]

BRAUNAMANIA IS RUNNING WILD

[KIRA]

BRUAN is a face now?

[Emperor Smeat]

https://i.imgur.com/MA5zDYg.gif

[Lock Jaw]

Dark match gonna just be Braun powerslamming Axel for 10 more minutes off-air

[A.J.K]

BRAUNAMANIA IS RUNNING WILD

R.I.P Axelmania

[Dark One]

Braun > Hulk Hogan > Steve Austin > John Cena.

[KIRA]

Curtis Axel is about to be reunited with his dad

[ClockShot]

BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

[Dark One]

Braun Strowman is the greatest wrestler in the history of our sport.

[Emperor Smeat]

The only way to possibly improve on that would have been for his music to start inexplicably playing as he rose from the garbage.

[slik]

Watching The Shield Table For 3...all three so good together...Dean talking about his love of eating sandwiches

[DAMN iNATOR]

.... Well that was a weird finish

Alexa channeling her inner Mark Jindrak.

[Stickman]

Is nobody going to point out that Dbry was clearly not talking to anybody on the phone?

[DAMN iNATOR]

BRUAN

You and owenbrown could both benefit from going to Drew Gulak's school of spelling, LOL.

[Tom Guycott]

Late to the Party:

1) I haven't browsed the thread yet, but if nobody has a nice screengrab of Captain Fox with her little hat, I will need that, thanks.

2) LOL at Samoa Joe's STO on Crewes: "MAN, SIT YO' ASS DOWN!!!"

[Tom Guycott]

Also, just noticed JoJo and Bo are back... guess they're done with folks needing HAZMAT suits backstage. But unfortunately, I'm guessing that also means more Roman to come (again, I'm catching up, so if he did show up at the end, I didn't know.)

I'll just let you know they did mention that a fair amount of superstars were still recovering from the outbreak.

[Tom Guycott]

I will say, I like the flow of this show: one segment bleeding into the next mostly because "everyone is on edge". Nice change of pace, but sadly something that can't be done too often lest it become overdone and stupid.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Yeah, they gave it a very "spooky" Halloween episode type vibe which I found quite enjoyable.

[Tom Guycott]

JAMIE KNOBLE, BOY!!

D'VON... GET THE STRETCHER!!!

[Tom Guycott]

OH SNAP! Is this a Southpaw Championship Wrestling match?

[Tom Guycott]

Wait... Is Rhyno Clause wearing pantyhose?

[Tom Guycott]

1) If it doesn't work on a bear, you don't do it in the ring.

2) Never wear pumpkins in a street fight.

[Droford]

Elias has lost me as a fan for disparaging Joe Flacco

[Tom Guycott]

Interesting take on Chucky there, Bliss.

[Tom Guycott]

Sprinting Strowman is *way* more hilarious than frightening. I immediately thought of the old school cartoon running/stumbling sound effect.

[Droford]

S O F T soft

[Tom Guycott]

Yeah, it happened after where I was at the time. Thanks, though.

[Tom Guycott]

Dark match gonna just be Braun powerslamming Axel for 10 more minutes off-air

I imagine he was dead on the announce table like AJ being stuck on the top rope.

[Tom Guycott]

Kinda disappointed in nothing being made thus far about the Miz/Corbin thing. I get Strowman being so mad about being stuffed in a garbage truck that he rode around in a second garbage truck for presumably a little over a week, but still, why bother having Miz cut a promo on the guy and set up midcard champ versus midcard champ like with the other singles titles instead of having Braun get his vengeance already? That could've waited until the PPV, and had Strowman cost Miz a win over Baron. Baron gets the rub and the bragging rights, Miz gets a Strowman feud, Strowman gets a possible IC title run. Win/win/win.

[Tom Guycott]

"The predator known as Samoa Joe" is probably not the best tagline given the current social climate.

Surprised that the actual cover was used, and not the picture of Randy in the locker room with the child. Would have made more sense with the Hansen jokes.

[Tom Guycott]

WHO IS NEXT TO BE NOT READY FOR ASUKA?

Lio Rush.

[Tom Guycott]

Daniel Bryan: "At least you get to wrestle again, right, man?"

*If* there is no in-ring return for him in WWE, looks like the ROH champ is calling him out...

Cross dressing isn't something Gulak does that well

[Evil Vito]

Meltzer called the Slater/Rhyno/Good Brothers match "ominous" and implied that one or both teams will be getting cut soon.

I don't want to see anyone lose their jobs, but there are so much better uses for the Good Brothers out there.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Read the results. Nice to see Stephanie already neutering Kurt. She is the drizzling shits.

Given that Anderson was getting $750,000 in New Japan, and I doubt he jumped to the WWE for too much less, it's easy to imagine Gallows & Anderson costing something like $1.5 million a year. They might be the biggest bust since Mark Henry's initial 10-year, $10 million contract.

Rhyno, as much as I love him, is on a nostalgia run. If they are cutting talent, it makes sense for him to take the hit. I'd rather him stay around and work with younger talent on the cheap though. Rhyno is better at comedy than Gallows & Anderson too.

Amen. :y:

I'd agree with all of this. The Good Brothers are genuinely really funny guys, I fell in love with Gallows all the way back in 2010 or so the first time he was on Colt Cabana's podcast - and the two of them have been on several podcasts with Jericho that were hilarious.

But in terms of WWE humor I never really saw how it would work out. They're not strictly comedy acts, in Japan they had a unique blend going for them where they were a credibly booked tag team and would add elements of goofiness to them in promos and in the occasional match but they were never a full-blown comedy team. That's what WWE tried to make them be after The Club ended and it's just been awkward. Let them be naturally funny, not forcing them with stuff like "NERRRRRRRRRRRRRDS!"

I imagine they'll either go back to Japan or find work in ROH or something.

Only downside for Anderson is that he signed over the rights of the Karl Anderson name. So he'll have to become Chad "2 Badd" Anderson or something.

[A.J.K]

SOUTHPAW REGIONAL WRESTLING :D

should be the 3rd hour of raw.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is nobody going to point out that Dbry was clearly not talking to anybody on the phone?

What's the point?

[Destor]

I think he's saying wrestling isnt real

[Destor]

which is fucking outlandish frankly

Win/win/win.

To me, it says that Miz is losing the title before Survivor Series.

[Stickman]

What's the point?

Hard to suspend belief on a blantant fuck up.

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems there wasn't as much interest for the conclusion of the show long Miz storyline nor the Bliss-Mickie title match since the 3rd hour dropped again.

Still kind of funny Enzo being in the main event for 3 weeks straight lead to the 3rd hour rising each week and since then, WWE hasn't been able to do the same with anyone else. Then again WWE also stopped caring about putting any real effort for the 3rd hour around the same time.

Monday’s Raw drew an average of 2,854,000 viewers, down from last week’s 2,952,000 viewers ...

Hourly breakdown:

8PM: 3,102,000
9PM: 2,943,000
10PM: 2,517,000

[Ruien]

Shit, they kept me for the 3rd hour since I can't remember when.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Enzo Amore being a draw is not really that surprising, given that there is a severe lack of charisma on these shows.

[Tom Guycott]

Nothing involving Baron Corbin is a win.

Sadly, you're right about that.

I meant comparatively for what could be accomplished. He is still looks pretty damn green to have been there as long as he has (he seems like a white Moose to me), and I don't understand how he's both a monster AND chickenshit heel, but of the drawbacks to him, that is one thing that clearly isn't his fault. They are bound and determined that this guy is going to be a star, so why not do it in a constructive manner instead of afterthought or aside?

[Southpaw Regional Wrestling] should be the 3rd hour of raw.

I agree... if for no other reason, I insist on calling Jason Jordan "Porkchop Jones" so much, that I literally had to force myself to remember Jason' Jordan's name was Jason Jordan while typing this.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Corbin is an entertainment vacuum. Probably havent had Miz do anything on tv with him so he doesnt get completwly owned.

[Sepholio]

I don't mind Corbin when he's wrassling. I know he's far from the best but he isn't awful. He shouldn't be talking much if any at all though. Just get angry and tell people to shut up and kick their ass or whatever.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm not the biggest fan of Corbin (obvious from my previous comment), but I think "The Lone Wolf" gimmick really hurts him. It's just so hokey in 2017. They seem to want two stories with him -- one where he's this A-grade sports jock who has swooped into the WWE with superior athletic ability to make a shit-load of money, and the other where he's this mysterious biker bad-ass, which just isn't threatening in the circus they are running.

Drop the Lone Wolf thing. Go with the scummy athlete and don't be afraid to let him partner up with other guys and basically be a detestable piece of shit. He might even learn something by osmosis.
