WWE RAW 11/20/17 ft. 20+ Minute HHH Speech, Team Red's Bo-Inspired Victory Lap, & some rasslin

[Droford]

Crowd will blow up huge for Paige if she comes out

[Droford]

uh oh

[KIRA]

Here comes the woman who is miraculously not in traction after having her spine bent in ways that crazy straws can't pull off

[ClockShot]

Shouldn't you be making arrangements with a funeral home, Kurt?

[Dark One]

Crowd will blow up huge for Paige if she comes out

This smarky of a crowd would probably be a mistake. Definitely "Xavier" or "Maddox" chants I'd think.

[KIRA]

ALICIA

com'on ya'll Captain Fox is an awesome name

[Savio]

Sasha is the worst woman on the mic.... Bayley might be the 2nd worst.

[ClockShot]

No Nia Jax?

[Lock Jaw]

But Kurt..... if you don't slowly say all the people's names in a dramatic fashion, how do we know who is in the four way?!

OMG Kurt Angle cannot walk

[Lock Jaw]

Do you want us to just come to the logical conclusion?!

[rez]

seriously just send bailey to 205 live or something. it worked for enzo..kinda

[Anybody Thrilla]

Asuka was the sole survivor for Raw, and gets rewarded with...Dana Brooke?

Hey where is the walking wave motion gun-I mean Asuka

[Emperor Smeat]

Scary Movie 2

[Droford]

Asuka should come out and tear her head off

[ClockShot]

Nah, not really.

[Lock Jaw]

WWE PAIGE!!!

In her finest blow-up doll makeup!

[Evil Vito]

WWE PAIGE

[ClockShot]

You're single?

[Droford]

she sounds drunk

[rez]

aw yis

[ClockShot]

You think she realizes she's not relevant?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Alberto Del Rio?

[KIRA]

We may have but Xavier got you right in the eye.

[ClockShot]

The fuck?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Mandy Rose is so fucking hot.

[Droford]

lol

[rez]

NICE

[ClockShot]

And Smackdown gets...........................................?

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE picked the wrong ones to call up from NXT.

[Lock Jaw]

Haven't actually been watching NXT as of late..... have those two actually been on, and are they any good?

[Dark One]

My penis is ready for Mandy on the main roster.

[Triple A]

so pale / hot...

[Anybody Thrilla]

Kinda surprised Michael Cole mentioned both of them being on Tough Enough.

[Dark One]

We may have but Xavier got you right in the eye.

God damnit.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Haven't actually been watching NXT as of late..... have those two actually been on, and are they any good?

They're decent, really. They were both on the same Tough Enough season as Velveteen Dream.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

You think she realizes she's not relevant?

yea lol

[KIRA]

This is just more meat for the grinder

#asukawillkillthemall

Was expecting Ruby Riot maybe.....

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

And Smackdown gets...........................................?

ICONIC

[Evil Vito]

Interested in seeing where this goes, even if it feels odd that Sonya and Mandy somehow got to the main roster before the Iconic Duo.

[Emperor Smeat]

Hopefully this time WWE doesn't accidentally come up with a porn name for Paige's new group like what happened last time she had a team.

[Lock Jaw]

I wonder if they will call some people up to Smackdown also

[ClockShot]

So. Asuka has been on the main roster for about a month now and is the next huge thing.

Now Paige retruns and bring along 2 more divas and sorta injects herself into the title picture.

Where's this going?

[Lock Jaw]

Hopefully this time WWE doesn't accidentally come up with a porn name for Paige's new group like what happened last time she had a team.

Paige
Mandy
Sonya


PMS returns!

[Emperor Smeat]

Haven't actually been watching NXT as of late..... have those two actually been on, and are they any good?

Think Mandy had a couple of matches in NXT at most but the reports from house shows were usually good about her skills. Sonya Deville is probably average at best based on her stuff in NXT.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Was interesting...but as LJ might ask...

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE #1 CONTENDERSHIP TO THE RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP?!

[Triple A]

Seems like too many women on the main roster (based on them seemingly only being able to book 2 women's feuds at once max)

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Haven't actually been watching NXT as of late..... have those two actually been on, and are they any good?

Mandy hasn't been on in ages. They both seemed to take an Ellipse on their last match in NXT TV.

[A.J.K]

I wonder if they will call some people up to Smackdown also

Probably Iconic Duo or Ruby Riot.

[Lock Jaw]

So. Asuka has been on the main roster for about a month now and is the next huge thing.

Now Paige retruns and bring along 2 more divas and sorta injects herself into the title picture.

Where's this going?

Keeping Asuka away from the belt while giving her plenty of heels to run through and keep her streak going

[Anybody Thrilla]

Interested in seeing where this goes, even if it feels odd that Sonya and Mandy somehow got to the main roster before the Iconic Duo.

Elias didn't make sense at first either, but look at him now.

[Triple A]

Haven't actually been watching NXT as of late..... have those two actually been on, and are they any good?

Have never even seen her on NXT

Saw this pic today... feels like Vince McMahon saw it on her Instagram and decided 2 call her up today maybe

transition the entire female roster to RAW. It'd make the 3 hours almost tolerable.

[Lock Jaw]

Renee looking great

[Evil Vito]

Alexa and Mandy next to each other on camera is too much for my penis to handle.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Now everything is getting an all female reboot.

Ghostbusters and now the Shield.

[Emperor Smeat]

So umm is RAW's Women's division #UnderSiege again?

[ClockShot]

BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

Extra long awkward pause even for WWE TV.

start of the NWO. New Women's Order, obvi.

[Lock Jaw]

Really want the women to get their own show..... I'd watch the F out of it...... unlike how I don't watch 205 Live.....

[Dark One]

Booker T praised Jason Jordan.

Heel turn confirmed.

[KIRA]

The next time Kurt gets to talk to his"son" its going to have to be through a medium.

[Dark One]

Jason Jordan wouldn't stand a chance even at 300%

[ClockShot]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Emperor Smeat]

:| Kane showed up again

[A.J.K]

The devil's favorite Politician.

damn. Braun must have pissed off Vince something fierce.

Make Braun and then feed him back to Kane the next night

[Lock Jaw]

Braun developing a pattern where he will dominate, then someone will do something horrific to him/murder him, and he will disappear for a few weeks, then he will come back and dominate.

[rez]

Braun smashed Linda

[Dark One]

Based on past history, Braun will wakeboard all the way to the arena on a steel folding chair next week.

[Evil Vito]

I could see the Iconic Duo showing up on SmackDown. They badly need to freshen up the division there.

It wouldn't even deplete the NXT women's division because they have a whole shitload of women they signed from the Mae Young Classic that they can start featuring regularly.

[KIRA]

What does a 50 yr old Kane stand to gain from this?

[Dark One]

I don't know, man.

You can't have a dude basically no sell getting crushed in an ambulance wreck and by a "trash compacting garbage truck" and have him get debilitated by a shot to the throat.

Gotta be AT LEAST a tank-piercing shell out of a cannon.

[Emperor Smeat]

A chair shot to the throat seems really tamed considering the other times WWE tried to kill or seriously injury Strowman.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Braun smashed Linda

In the bedroom, loudly scream-roaring his name as he exploded? :naughty::shifty:

[Dark One]

What does a 50 yr old Kane stand to gain from this?

Gotta get that wrestling fan 3% of the vote.

[rez]

What does a 50 yr old Kane stand to gain from this?

New, young voters?

[rez]

In the bedroom, loudly scream-roaring his name as he exploded? :naughty::shifty:

[Dark One]

Does the mayor of Knox county get veto power?

If so, I hope he tombstones the shit out of any bills he vetoes.

[KIRA]

Gotta get that wrestling fan 3% of the vote.

Where is he running again? Its the south right then that will be like 90% of the vote.

[DAMN iNATOR]

What does a 50 yr old Kane stand to gain from this?

He's the devil's favorite demon, but I hear ol' Beelzebub isn't quite sold on him as his favorite politician yet...something about too many similarities in their gimmicks...

[Dark One]

Where is he running again? Its the south right then that will be like 90% of the vote.

Knox County Tennessee

87% of the vote will write in Jerry Lawler.

[Lock Jaw]

I hope Neville comes out and murders them all

[Dark One]

BRAUN STROWMAN SURVIVED BEING CRUSHED IN AN AMBULANCE AND A FUCKING TRASH COMPACTOR WITHOUT MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.

HE DOES NOT NEED A GODDAMN HOSPITAL OVER A WINDPIPE SHOT. SHUT UP GRAVES.

[Dark One]

Enzo has worse fashion sense than Jerry Lawler.

[DAMN iNATOR]

How'd you know :eek:

I taped it all as he ejaculated on a replica Universal Championship belt and Mrs. McM. watched in shock. :shifty: #TOPICAL

[rez]

How'd you know :eek:

Kane killed Linda and now Vince is cuddling/stroking Enzo's hair in the Connecticut McMahon bedroom.

[Evil Vito]

Enzo getting the shit beaten out of him by the entire Cruiserweight division was great. And now practically every heel in the division sucks up to him.

[RP]

Mr. Gulak is in the building everyone!

[Dark One]

I taped it all as he ejaculated on a replica Universal Championship belt and Mrs. McM. watched in shock. :shifty: #TOPICAL

LOL, Even Booker didn't believe that line from Cole. :lol:

ps4? switch? pc? let's get a link, son

[KIRA]

Is Roman vs Miz tonight?

Yes

[Emperor Smeat]

Nothing about this match feels like a Cruiser match except for that suicide dive by Tozawa right now.

[Evil Vito]

All this match has done is highlight that Enzo should only be a manager.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ali's Inverted 450 is one of the best looking moves in the WWE right now.

[Lock Jaw]

Hello Renee

[Dark One]

ps4? switch? pc? let's get a link, son

Best Buy's stuff is live if you're a high enough rewards tier: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/ea-video-game-virtual-reality-deals

Ended up racking up:

Nioh,
For Honor,
FF XII Remake,
Nier,
Evil Within 2,
Resident Evil VII

and a few others. Nothing CRAZY amazing, but pretty solid for like 10-20 a piece.

[Arrogance]

Is Jason Jordan dead yet?

[Dark One]

"He's hurt. He's not going anywhere."

Miz is practical. That's why he's successful.

[Emperor Smeat]

After seeing those Kane-Strowman replays, suddenly realized the last 2 PPVs involving RAW resulted in whoever looked the best ended up being treated the worst the night after (Finn at TLC, Strowman at SS).

The stuff with Strowman might be dumber since he already had a feud ending worthy moment the week before with the ring breaking spot.

[Dark One]

Pizza carry out insurance?

Seriously 2017.

[slik]

I wonder how long until TJP and Apollo Crews are released

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yay Elias

[Lock Jaw]

Damn.... forgot to adjust my PVR, so I won't be watching the RAW overrun and Roman Reigns title celebration

[Emperor Smeat]

Pizza carry out insurance?

Seriously 2017.

Kind of smart since the last thing anyone wants is their night ruined if something bad happens to their pizza before they get a chance to eat it.

[KIRA]

Our ears arent worthy

[Lock Jaw]

The feud nobody wanted to see, Elias vs Matt Hardy

Although I write that and the fans start chanting for Hardy, so maybe they do

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Nothing about this match feels like a Cruiser match except for that suicide dive by Tozawa right now.

It's just a weight class.

[Dark One]

Well.

That was a segment

[Emperor Smeat]

Poor manners by Matt to interrupt another musical masterpiece by The Drifter. Guess he forgot what good music sounds like after getting unbroken.

Chapter?

Feel like Roman doesn't need the IC belt....beginning of the end for Miz and prolly the hardcore fans turning on Roman again...

[Dark One]

I feel like Curtis Axel's neckbrace is going to be like D-Lo Brown's chest protector. He will be wearing it until the day he dies.

[Dark One]

Feel like Roman doesn't need the IC belt....beginning of the end for Miz and prolly the hardcore fans turning on Roman again...

I mean, he was still getting booed a significant amount last night, so, not a far fall.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Roman doesn't NEED the title, but the Miz hasn't really been doing much but carrying it around.

[Savio]

Annoying camera shot

[Dark One]

Annoying camera shot

You should see some of the GIFs I posted last night, then.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Reigns doing the same 9 count spot as Cena and just like Cena, it still looks stupid.

[rez]

I'm fine if Roman wins... Shield + Euro Title shall keep him out of the main event for a while.

[Lock Jaw]

Alright, I'm outta here. Let me know how it ends I guess

[rez]

dey should probably rename the title the brexit title

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is Pete Dunn trying to look like The Miz these days?

[Dark One]

Is Pete Dunn trying to look like The Miz these days?

The opposite.

Miz is a master of getting heat, and he saw how punchable Pete Dunne's face was and decided he had to get him some of that.

[rez]

The necks of the superstars all have been takin a hitting.

[rez]

pretty good match

[Anybody Thrilla]

The opposite.

I dunno, I think the Miz has had that haircut for a while now.

Like when Ric Flair used to fail constantly with top rope moves before finally hitting it one successful, one of these days someone will actually be successful with a Flying Nothing move.

Was Rollins ever actually IC Champ?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Yeah, I don't recall Seth as the IC champ either.

[Anybody Thrilla]

...was he even the US champ?

[Dark One]

...was he even the US champ?

For a few weeks. He won a champ vs champ match against Cena, then lost it back to him before crippling Sting at Night of Champions or something.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Ah yes, that sounds familiar now. Forgot he was carrying two belts.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Good IC match.

Was about to say now all three members of the Shield are Grand Slam Champs but for some reason Rollins isn't listed in the official list on Wikipedia.

That's because he never IC Champ, ever. So, that is because he's not a Grand Slam Champion.

Forgot about the US title reign so he's a Triple Crown Champ.

[Tom Guycott]

Party crashing afterwards:

Crowd must be drunk if they actively want to see a Jordan-HHH match.

To be fair, at least it wouldn't be something seen before 800 times, like Orton/Cena... who is actually past due for another feud.

"You don't have the authority to make that match."

BITCH THEN WHAT IS HIS JOB

And to be fair here as well, the insinuation was he can't put someone higher up the command chain in a match. The problem there is the inconsistency with which they apply that idea coupled with not explaining it well. This from the company that loves to repeat stipulations 30 times a match and overuse some buzz phrase for the next coming PPV.

[Tom Guycott]

TIME TO PLAY THE-

BRAUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!

- nevermind.


Side note: I wonder what chick would be cast to be Braun if a sequel were made to Wrestling Isn't Wrestling?

[Emperor Smeat]

That's because he never IC Champ, ever. So, that is because he's not a Grand Slam Champion.

Forgot about the US title reign so he's a Triple Crown Champ.

Managed to forget the new changes means you need both secondary titles now to be a Grand Slam Champ. Noticed the little blurb under the requirements after checking the list again.

TIME TO PLAY THE-

BRAUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!

Side note: I wonder what chick would be cast to be Braun if a sequel were made to Wrestling Isn't Wrestling?

Lena Dunham, probably

You know, the Drunk Uncle Booker and Corey Graves dynamic has really grown on me. Odder because Booker T has been pretty hit-and-miss during his time in the booth, and Graves has come a loooooooong way since transitioning (albeit by force) from competitor to commentary. They're no Monsoon/Brain, but they do seem to have a similar type of chemistry.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I've always loved Booker on commentary, and Graves is aces.

[Evil Vito]

I don't think Booker is all that good on commentary, but I do appreciate that he provides genuine enthusiasm instead of Cole's forced company line enthusiasm.

[Anybody Thrilla]

He gives a unique perspective as nothing else. Perfectly acceptable as a color guy. I wouldn't dig him on play by play, I don't think.

[Emperor Smeat]

Booker is a lot more bearable when he plays off of Graves than with Cole. Graves & Cole are better as a pairing but Cole still brings down the quality of the duo more than Graves boosts it.

Think Tazz might have been the only person who ever fitted really well with Cole in the booth. JBL's 1st run was good with Cole but his 2nd run was terrible. Lawler & Cole were very hit or miss and a big downgrade compared to Lawler & Ross.

He's been tag and WWE WH Champion, too. So, yes, he is a Grand Slam Champion (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Slam_(professional_wrestling)#Current_format) with that win.

Honestly, what is to like about Booker on commentary? He doesn't make sense.

[Big Vic]

Heyman and Ross were my favorite announce team, wish that pairing lasted longer.

[Sepholio]

Who did Miz piss off? Loses to Corbin and then drops the title the next night.

[Evil Vito]

I just tune out Cole at this point. He's actually a good announcer when he's not given constraints and is allowed to actually call the action in the ring. But Vince has him constantly talking about what's gonna happen later in the show and they make him repeat corporate buzzwords over and over again and it's all just so phony.

[Sepholio]

I don't think Cole is good at all at this point. He misspeaks constantly and calls moves the wrong name all the time and trips over his own words awkwardly. It's like he doesn't even care any more. He desperately needs some time off to recoup or something.

[Evil Vito]

So....did they put the belt on Roman simply to complete his Grand Slam? Is the plan for him to drop the belt before Mania? I'd long assumed he wasn't going to eat a pin again until after Mania but there are always ways to get it off of him without him taking a pin. You could do a wonky title change on a DQ type deal, or you could have Steph force a battle royal which is how they got the US Title off of Ambrose back during the initial Shield run.

I'd read a month or two ago that the idea of a title for title match at Mania was in play.....but come on. I know WWE hasn't exactly cared about the IC Title in recent Manias, shunting it to the pre-show this year and just using it as an excuse to get a multi-man ladder match onto the show in the two years previous. But hypothetically the title could still be used to get a separate program onto the card. Making Reigns/Lesnar title for title doesn't elevate the IC Title in importance because not even Heyman's best promo effort would get me to believe that Brock would actually care about winning a second tier title when he already has the top belt. Somehow that match would become even more blindingly predictable than it already is.

He makes sense, too. You're not listening to what he's actually saying.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Roman could also just lose the title in a triple threat or something. Easy enough.

[Big Vic]

Hate when Booker actually makes a good point and Cole is like "Haha fuck you Booker"

[Jordan]

Booker is okay but commits to his ridiculous personal views too much.

[Big Vic]

Yeah, I rather have Otunga than Booker.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

He makes sense, too. You're not listening to what he's actually saying.

Booker was a great performer but much like Randy Savage is inarticulate as a commentator.

[RP]

Booker is terribly bad. But i want him in the WWE in some format. Not sure where.

[RP]

There is some comedic value to Graves basically roasting Booker for his terribleness on the show. If they kept with that and Booker was good with it, then i could get used to it.

[Cool King]

• I feel like this is the beginning of Raw returning to the "Triple H & Stephanie Show" with their signature 10-20 minute opening promos included.

• Oh look, Paige is back, looking more like a crack whore than ever.

Seriously though. What's with the clown lips?

Meh whatever, I just hope The Rock would hurry up and make his shite film so it can get released, followed by Paige not long after.

• It's great that the Intercontinental Championship means nothing again. I'm sure we were all missing those days, but really, the only positive I can think of from The Miz dropping the title to Reigns is that maybe now The Miz can chase a world title.

It obviously wouldn't be the Universal Championship as Lesnar is keeping that warm for Reigns at WrestleMania.

I can only hope that The Miz gets drafted at the next draft and there he can chase the WWE Championship, but deep down, I know that won't happen.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It's great for Miz to make that Roman kid.

[Mr. Nerfect]

They'll push him into the main event as someone who has won every title except the Universal Title (except the SmackDown Tag Titles).

[Emperor Smeat]

He's pretty much is at the stage Ross and Lawler were late into their pairing where their enthusiasm/quality nosedived but the biggest difference being Cole never had that stretch of greatness those two had in the booth.

He really needs to follow through with his plans and retire from commentary as soon as possible so he can work on the production side of things.

[Cool King]

Booker T ain't that great either.

If he's not making grunting/growling noises when big moves happen, he's either complaining about something, contradicting himself or just speaking gibberish.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Booker T is tight. Sorry you guys don't enjoy him, but I absolutely do.

KING BOOKAH and Graves are definitely gelling

Agreed. Honestly, I think Vince is probably keeping him in there. I'm not a big Tom Phillips fan, but I think him and Corey Graves -- the hot-shot young announcers -- could really tear it up on Raw. If they want a third person for the booth, why not try putting Renee back in there? She did really well in the spot in NXT, and having a female announcer would fit their quota of "diversity."

If Cole wants to wind down, give him SmackDown with Byron Saxton and get out of their ears.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Booker T is tight. Sorry you guys don't enjoy him

And I am that you do :nono:

[Lock Jaw]

I like when Booker T says:

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW HERE WE GO!"

and

"It's gonna be GOOD!!"

[Anybody Thrilla]

And I am that you do :nono:

Shut up, bitch. You ever think about that?
