Raw Thread - 2/26/18 - Let's see what Wrestlemania is REALLY going to look like!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Why is Titus Worldwide getting another tag team title match?

[ClockShot]

2/3 falls match?

Well now, this is a treat.

[KIRA]

Again great work by Vince and the WWE to get Seth Rollins to talk on black womens struggle

[Dark One]

That might of been one of the best promos i've heard in a loooong time and certainly the best promo Reigns has ever delivered. They couldn't of written the start of this feud any better :y:

I mean, they could've written this feud to start off with Braun throwing a bulldozer at Brock Lesnar, but, I mean, this is pretty good for what they're going with.

[Lock Jaw]

2/3 Falls against Titus Worldwide? Why do they want to torture me?

[Lock Jaw]

I mean, they could've written this feud to start off with Braun throwing a bulldozer at Brock Lesnar, but, I mean, this is pretty good for what they're going with.

Braun should have tipped the Elimination Chamber over on Roman last night

[Dark One]

Wonder what The Bar does at Wrestlemania........ no legitimate opponents for them

Too Cool is going to make a surprise return on the Mania pre-show for a tag title match.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wonder what The Bar does at Wrestlemania........ no legitimate opponents for them

You dumb bastard....

They aren't really "legit" right now, and they are also heels.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

WORLD..................WIDE PISSBREAK!!!!!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Am I really going to have to go back and watch a Roman Reigns promo?

[KIRA]

Best work Roman has done on the mic. Speaking "from the heart"

If that was all him that was good damn good actually well for him

Still not interested in him going to Mania

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Is that Will Arnette on that truck commercial or did they find a sound-alike?

[Emperor Smeat]

That might of been one of the best promos i've heard in a loooong time and certainly the best promo Reigns has ever delivered. They couldn't of written the start of this feud any better :y:

That was easily the best promo Roman has ever done.

Personally put his post-Mania 33 promo above it even though it was way shorter. Played to the crowd a lot better by just soaking in all their booing and responding back with a simple statement in absolute confidence.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Better than watching a tag team match on Raw not involving the Revival jack.

[ClockShot]

WWE A/V department whipped that promo for smackdown together quick.

[Dark One]

Am I really going to have to go back and watch a Roman Reigns promo?

I mean--no, probably not? It was basically the John Cena promo on the Rock about not being around often enough, but, it was well-delivered and believable and on a topic that doesn't make Roman look like a twat.

So, you can probably just imagine it.

[KIRA]

Am I really going to have to go back and watch a Roman Reigns promo?

I mean it wasn't coma inducing and had force behind it sooo

[Emperor Smeat]

Here comes the best entrance ever where is that GIF

https://i.imgur.com/UTq3pPt.gif

[Dark One]

Is that Will Arnette on that truck commercial or did they find a sound-alike?

He does a lot of those, yeah.

[ClockShot]

I blinked and we're 1 fall in.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at this over-the-top celebration for a simple pin fall in a Best of 3 match.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Now why even...

God damn it, I'm getting angry.

[Lock Jaw]

I blinked and we're 1 fall in.

Quick, blink twice more

[Dark One]

Crowd gonna chant for Titus the Raw after Wrestlemania now?

[KIRA]

They are walking like they just won the whole thing pretty funny

[slik]

The Bar will prob be in the battle royal at Mania along with Bray

[Anybody Thrilla]

Does Raw even need a tag division if this is what they're going to do with it?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Just because it's Black History Month doesn't mean that you have to keep giving the one black team title shots for 28 days.

[Dark One]

Just because it's Black History Month doesn't mean that you have to keep giving the one black team title shots for 28 days.

I know, right?

Everyone knows the correct thing to do is bring back the Nation of Domination for a month.

[Emperor Smeat]

Does Raw even need a tag division if this is what they're going to do with it?

Not really.

RAW should trade their Tag division to Smackdown and get Smackown's Women division in return. RAW has been better with their women booking and Smackdown with their tag booking in recent months so its an even trade.

[Emperor Smeat]

I know, right?

Everyone knows the correct thing to do is bring back the Nation of Domination for a month.

Who would get to be the Owen Hart of the group, Bo Dallas?

[Dark One]

Who would get to be the Owen Hart of the group, Bo Dallas?

Ghost of Tazz Dan.

[KIRA]

Just because it's Black History Month doesn't mean that you have to keep giving the one black team title shots for 28 days.

Thats exactly what it means to Vince Mcmahon

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm reminded of that one time Titus and Sheamus had a pretty good match on Raw and nothing came of it.

[slik]

Brock/Roman
Cena/Taker
Seth/Balor/Miz
Braun/??? (Elias?)
Ronda & Kurt/Steph & HHH
Bayley/Sasha
Asuka/Alexa
AJ/Naka

Not too shabby so far

[Anybody Thrilla]

I know, right?

Everyone knows the correct thing to do is bring back the Nation of Domination for a month.

Now we're thinking.

[Dark One]

I'm reminded of that time anything ever happened on Raw and nothing came of it.

Fixed that for you

[KIRA]

A poor poor mans Dominator by Titus

He cared about that Dominator about as much as Kevin Nash cares about the Jacknife

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

2-0 squash

MONDAY NIGHT REVIVAL TIME

SAY YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Lock Jaw]

Shocked that The Bar has retained!

[ClockShot]

Should have been 1 fall if this was the case.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Should have been 1 fall if this was the case.

Maybe they fired?

[Emperor Smeat]

That is like what 2 matches in a row where a Best of 3 match ends 2-0?

Feel like that's never happened before in the WWE.

[Lock Jaw]

Sheamus mohawk going limp

[rez]

is there another TMNT live action movie planned to have Sheamus still rocking the mohawk?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Brock/Roman
Cena/Taker
Seth/Balor/Miz
Braun/??? (Elias?)
Ronda & Kurt/Steph & HHH
Bayley/Sasha
Asuka/Alexa
AJ/Naka

Not too shabby so far

Now slikster, Cena made it PRETTY OBVIOUS that he will NOT be facing The Undertaker at Wrestlemania. Let's not be insensitive to the fact that he will NOT be competing at Wrestlemania.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go buy some new jorts.

[Black Widow]

Haven't seen Absolution so guessing they fail at jumping Rousey.

[Dark One]

Should have been 1 fall if this was the case.

Ehhh. Good to make The Bar look strong and help counterbalance the "every X out of Y Falls match goes to the last possible fall!"

Although they've been kind of going too hard in the other direction lately.

[KIRA]

See ABT you give em title shots but they never win.

[Dark One]

Sheamus mohawk going limp

Happens to the best of us.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Fuck you WWE.

[Emperor Smeat]

Kind of funny WWE still doesn't do what Warrior wanted for his idea of an award and for whitewashing how much of a piece of shit Warrior was to others.

[KIRA]

None of those traits describe Warrior

[KIRA]

The homophobic, roid raging, idiot who makes up stupid words THATS Warrior

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Warrior: Bobby Heenan you deserved your cancer.

Dana: Let's honor this cancer survivor.

[Anybody Thrilla]

See ABT you give em title shots but they never win.

That's black history in a nutshell.

[KIRA]

If they were honest they'd call it the "Queering don't work" award.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Another year that Jim Johnson is screwed out of the Warrior Award and was fiiiiiiiiiiired.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

He's gonna take a guitar from Jeff Jarrett like Beetlejuice.

[Dark One]

I look forward to the year 2099 when people are still complaining about this.

[Lock Jaw]

For the record, I have zero issues with the Warrior Award.

[Lock Jaw]

Except that they didn't give it to Tazz Dan.

[Anybody Thrilla]

He's gonna take a guitar from Jeff Jarrett like Beetlejuice.

Did you really just compare that kid to Beetlejuice?

[Black Widow]

Kind of funny WWE still doesn't do what Warrior wanted for his idea of an award and for whitewashing how much of a piece of shit Warrior was to others.Think it's more fitting to give it to the people that they do.

[KIRA]

Hoping the company goes under or Vince is dead before then either way is good

[Dark One]

Except that they didn't give it to Tazz Dan.

This is a fair take.

Lav mic on the guitar.... that seems new..... don't remember seeing it before

Shut your filthy rat holes you collective wastes of sperm

Elias is gracing us with his ethereal voice

Finally hit back At Graves its great

[Anybody Thrilla]

Where'd that Braun slide gif come from?

[Lock Jaw]

I suppose that's what I get trying to steam your gimmick

[Emperor Smeat]

I look forward to the year 2099 when people are still complaining about this.

The idea of honoring people overcoming and/or dealing with serious life issues is a great thing but they really should have called the award something else or not associate it with Warrior.

Same with having a separate award simply honoring long time employees for their hard work and impact on the WWE.

[Dark One]

Where'd that Braun slide gif come from?

Heaven

[Black Widow]

So tried of hearing about shitty smalls and Hackpac

[Emperor Smeat]

Where'd that Braun slide gif come from?

Randomly found it on another forum right when Miz was doing his promo about being the best IC champ ever. Just added text for it to become the new Braun Time gif.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Heaven

Besides the obvious

[KIRA]

https://im3.ezgif.com/tmp/ezgif-3-060ba0832a.gif

How can you not give a man who makes the simple act of going down a slide look badass the title?

[KIRA]

Hmm...

Something on your mind?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Randomly found it on another forum right when Miz was doing his promo about being the best IC champ ever. Just added text for it to become the new Braun Time gif.

I'm asking where can I watch whatever it was that had Braun on a slide. Was it a show or what?

Totally fair--I just think it's a little absurd that some people are all up in arms about it being called the Warrior award when it's not for people behind the scenes... and then talking about how shitty of a human being he was as a reason for why it shouldn't be a award for people who have overcome adversity.

So, not okay to give an award based on a character that plowed through any obstacle, because the man behind it was apparently Satan, but totally cool to give the Satan Award to Jim Johnston?

Yeah any award in his name would still have some association of Warrior being a big piece of crap in real life. At least with honoring employees, it sticks with Warrior's original message for the award and not a PR or whitewash spin WWE has done with the actual award.

The real Warrior supposedly hated doing Make A Wish stuff and people with cancer so it feels less genuine and sincere doing it in his honor.

[Dark One]

Braun nip slip

Braun trying to catch Vince's eye and get that spot in the Mania main event.

[KIRA]

I just don't think that if "He's a shit human being" is the hill you're going to plant your flag in, it makes a lot of sense to be okay with him being a shitty human being and having his name attached to an award if it's in line with what he pitched before. If he's a shit human being, I would assume you wouldn't want his name attached to anything.

[Dark One]

Please tell me that Braun's WM program is not going to be vs Elias

Don't worry. It won't be.

They'll both be in the Andre Battle Royal.

Oh fuck...

THE DEADLY DOUBLE PNEUMONIA. KURT ANGLE IS A DEAD MAN.

No man

You don't go nuts with pneumonia.

But double pneumonia? The walls start melting.

[Dark One]

Do they need to replay this again right now?

Just wait until they add an extra hour to an already three hour Wrestlemania pre-show to show this on a loop for the entire 60 minutes.

[Emperor Smeat]

For someone who had "double pneumonia" Kurt looked pretty healthy to me last night.

Wonder if that's even possible to have as an illness.

[slik]

HHH and Taker still have the biggest 'spectacle' entrances in WWE.

[rez]

No man

You don't go nuts with pneumonia.

he wouldn't be able to walk! so fake, wwe!!!!!!

How many times now have they gone back to this

Double Walking Pneumonia.

For someone who had "double pneumonia" Kurt looked pretty healthy to me last night.

Double Pneumonia is apparently a real thing, just pneumonia in both lungs.

[KIRA]

Steph is being so racist toward Rhonda right now

Savage? speak her language? Know their place?

Racist

[Dark One]

Probably not a good look to talk about "owning" employees repeatedly during Black History Month.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Kurt

[Lock Jaw]

lol camera man

[Anybody Thrilla]

What kind of idiotic camera man was that?

[Dark One]

"I GOT KIDS. INCLUDING ONE I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT LAST YEAR"

[Sepholio]

What kind of idiotic camera man was that?

The kind that just got fired.

[Lock Jaw]

Kurt: "I need this job. I got kids. Even one more than I thought I used to have."

[Dark One]

What kind of idiotic camera man was that?

He's probably dead now.

Maybe they can name the Behind-the-Scenes-Employee Award in his memory.

This isn't my night

You're just TPWW's Damien Sandow now. Sorry.

[owenbrown]

Steph setting a record for backpedaling?

[KIRA]

"I GOT KIDS. INCLUDING ONE I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT LAST YEAR"

Those back payments must be hell

[Emperor Smeat]

The build for last year's Mania mixed tag match was a lot better than this Ronda/Kurt vs Authority build so far.

[Dark One]

Triple H punched Kurt Angle so hard that Kurt turned into a turtle for a minute.

[Lock Jaw]

So what was the deal with the shot of the limo arriving...... I guess it is implied that it was HHH/Steph, but they never showed anyone getting out of it

[slik]

Good closing segment, building the story instead of rushing it.

[Dark One]

The build for last year's Mania mixed tag match was a lot better than this Ronda/Kurt vs Authority build so far.

It has been literally two segments.

So what was the deal with the shot of the limo arriving...... I guess it is implied that it was HHH/Steph, but they never showed anyone getting out of it

meh. Vince probably thinks Samoans are black people that live in the projects of Connecticut. He's charitable.

Do you really think anybody gives a fuck about the Biggie/Tupac thing?

And yes, I'm aware that no one gives a fuck about Mixed Match Challenge either.

yes.

no.

It has been literally two segments.
Doubt Ronda is going to be around that much for the rest of the Road to Mania although to be fair, Miz & Cena did most of the work for last year's match and it did have the hilarious Cena-Nikki parody segments.

[Anybody Thrilla]

yes.

no.

Who do you hang out with?

Why not? What else is she doing?

[rez]

Princess D, JFK, etc. the ratings will be pretty decent.

That is a fair assumption to make

[Emperor Smeat]

Why not? What else is she doing?

Even though WWE announced it as a full-time contract, Observer teased its probably more part-time or Lesnar-like so she doesn't burn out from the constant traveling. The less she shows up on the Road to Mania, the more they can maximize the effect of her appearances for very cheap mainstream appeal.

[Anybody Thrilla]

BUT THEY SAID HER CONTRACT WAS JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE'S!!!

[Droford]

How many other people have the tv prop fake contract

[Anybody Thrilla]

Certainly zero, I would imagine. That's what they told me at the jorts convention.

[Simple Fan]

Pretty good Raw this week. Probably the best promo Reigns has ever delivered tonight. Still not hyped about him and Lesnar though. I hope Alexa beats Asuka, even if Nia has pull out a cattle prod. Ronda was alot better on the mic tonight. Feel like The Bar and The Usos being the dominant teams of each brand will challenge each other as the interbrand match for Wrestle Mania.

[DAMN iNATOR]

You're just TPWW's Damien Sandow now. Sorry.

With time, he can get back to being Damien Mizdow.

Mix Tag Team is a set time each week. Who the fuck cares about the Biggiw Tupac thing? Not many wrestling fans.

[Blonde Moment]

I think Brock should bring back the Kiss my ass club

Thought they were going to have a little HHH/Braun interaction off the back of Survivor Series, but nope.

[Emperor Smeat]

Pretty interesting Ronda's first RAW appearance did not improve RAW's numbers and instead went down compared to last week. Had almost 100k less people as the average although it did keep the top spots for rankings.

3rd hour drop wasn't as severe as last week's but on the flip side, this week started off with lower hourly numbers.

Monday’s Raw drew an average of 3,180,000 viewers, down from last week’s 3,282,000 viewers ...

This time last year, the February 27, 2017 Raw drew 3,093,000 viewers. The February 29, 2016 Raw drew 3,724,000 viewers ...

Hourly breakdown:

8PM: 3,407,000
9PM: 3,249,000
10PM: 2,884,000

What did WWE do in terms of promotion outside of EC?

[Emperor Smeat]

Only hyped up Ronda's RAW debut to get some mainstream coverage.

[XL]

But where did they hype it?

[Emperor Smeat]

Mostly through social media, paid mainstream coverage, and the usual weekly WWE commercials.

I'd assume they probably were expecting mainstream coverage about Ronda would have brought in a lot more casual and non-wrestling fans to watch this week and it wasn't the case. Whenever they get a lot of mainstream coverage, it usually results in a big weekly increase like with RAW 25 and the annual RAW After Mania shows.
