RAW is SHAKEN ***Official RAW Thread of TPWW*** April 16th, 2018

[Mr. Nerfect]

Ziggler in a tag team is actually something they haven't done. They seem "on par" with Sheamus & Cesaro, but are they going to be the babyfaces?

[Savio]

Is the Zig Zag really one of the most devastating maneuvers in the entire WWE Universe?
Not at all

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

That was interesting for half a second.

Totally opposite what the reality of the situation was. Dolph coming in means shit. He's a dead brand. Drew Mac is a hot commodity.

[owenbrown]

bring this back

GEdpCBvPJ8w

[Lock Jaw]

He's impressive when you're looking at him. He's got a great look and intensity. But there's just nothing to make you miss him when you're not looking at him.

He does "look a lot better" than his last time in WWE, but they got rid of his sweet theme he had, so it balances out.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Maybe Dolph and Drew can start a stable of people who had a ton of potential, but then it all dwindled, and now they're ready to re--

Hmm, I got bored typing that. Nevermind.

[Lock Jaw]

The.... BIG DOG!!!

[Evil Vito]

I don't even understand how the Zig Zag is supposed to hurt. Ziggler is the one taking the bump.

[Lock Jaw]

Does the winner of The Greatest Royal Rumble get anything? Seems like they should.......

[Dark One]

He's impressive when you're looking at him. He's got a great look and intensity. But there's just nothing to make you miss him when you're not looking at him.

His promo work has dramatically improved, I think. He cut a couple of white hot babyface promos down there before getting put on the shelf with injury. I don't have much faith that will be replicated on the main roster, but he's go ta lot more to him than he did before.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Holy shit, they are actually trying to get a bad-ass over by pointing out how he got his ass kicked. Do they not understand what is wrong with that?

[Lock Jaw]

I don't even understand how the Zig Zag is supposed to hurt. Ziggler is the one taking the bump.

AND IT'S A DEVASTATING ONE

[KIRA]

He does "look a lot better" than his last time in WWE, but they got rid of his sweet theme he had, smo it balances out. if they keep the evil bagpipes and then segue it into his old theme ohyeah

[DAMN iNATOR]

bring this back

GEdpCBvPJ8w

Oh HELL YEAH

[Dark One]

Holy shit, they are actually trying to get a bad-ass over by pointing out how he got his ass kicked. Do they not understand what is wrong with that?

Maybe whining for a rematch afterwards will do the trick.

[RP]

the man bun is not helping him at all.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Totally opposite what the reality of the situation was. Dolph coming in means shit. He's a dead brand. Drew Mac is a hot commodity.

I was talking about when Drew showed up. Interesting for half a second, until you remember it is Drew. Your technical error is forgiven.

[ClockShot]

Brock wouldn't come to Hartford, Roman.

[Mr. Nerfect]

"Will Roman Reigns be a pussy Friday week? Tune in to find out!"

[ClockShot]

Come out anytime, Samoa Joe.

[Lock Jaw]

Top heel right here (Roman)

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Smackdown kinda looks like an empty cupboard right now.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

JOE!

[DAMN iNATOR]

Does the winner of The Greatest Royal Rumble get anything? Seems like they should.......

A backstage handshake, a congratulations from Vince and a pat on the back is MORE than enough!

[KIRA]

I imagine his popularity going down even further now that the likes of Jeff Hardy and Bobby Lashley are around

[Mr. Nerfect]

Imagine being a casual fan and listening to this reaction.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I never thought I would love Samoa Joe as much as I do.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Oh shit! It's started! Universal and WWE Title conflation!

[ClockShot]

Is this a repeat of last week's script?

[KIRA]

do the idiots in the back not get that Roman sounds like a dick

[Savio]

Whoa they called it a pay-per-view.

[Lock Jaw]

Roman Reigns is truly The Ultimate Underdog!!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Joe makes way too many good points for a heel. And don't give me that "heels believe their story" bullshit. Joe is actually soothsaying and reflecting WWE canon back at Reigns.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Joe's become a solid promo.

[Savio]

I hope they don't ruin Joe

[Lock Jaw]

Can Roman overcome the odds?!

[Dark One]

Samoa Joe's promos are so intense the camera can't stop zooming in.

It could be a close up shot of his eyeball and it would still be a hell of a promo

[KIRA]

It's a bit weird that Samoa Joe is advocating for Brock Lesnar he should be advocating for his own badassery

[ClockShot]

MON-TAGE!

[Emperor Smeat]

Holy shit, they are actually trying to get a bad-ass over by pointing out how he got his ass kicked. Do they not understand what is wrong with that?

Considering not even blood made the crowd side with Reigns in sympathy, nothing outside of rebooting/revamping Reigns' entire booking is going to fix all the problems he has.

[ClockShot]

Well done, A/V department.

[Dark One]

Considering not even blood made the crowd side with Reigns in sympathy, nothing outside of rebooting/revamping Reigns' entire booking is going to fix all the problems he has.

Roman Reigns could rescue a kitten from a burning building, and the crowd would be chanting for the fire.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Roman always has such lame insults.

[rez]

fucking body shamer

[Mr. Nerfect]

Okay, this is one of my pet peeves that I forget about whenever the subject comes out: wrestlers introducing video packages that have obviously been put together by the production team like they are their own. It's not new. They've done it at least back to the Attitude era. I just fucking hate it.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

lol how long can you keep telling a story that doesn't exist?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Now Roman is body shaming? Alexa Bliss is supposed to get booed for the same thing.

[GD]

Might as well show the finish to the Summerslam match where Lesnar pinned Reigns.

[slik]

I have no clue how this is supposed to make fans like Roman more.

[Dark One]

Don't worry Roman, we've got video footage of what Joe can do to you.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qhWix2eG5v0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Mr. Nerfect]

Joe's got so much more charisma than Reigns it isn't funny.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Okay, this is one of my pet peeves that I forget about whenever the subject comes out: wrestlers introducing video packages that have obviously been put together by the production team like they are their own. It's not new. They've done it at least back to the Attitude era. I just fucking hate it.

Maybe they worked with the crew before the show or directed it themselves, even. The possibilities are endless.

[Dark One]

THE TENTH MAN IS GOING TO BE ELI COTTONWOOD

[KIRA]

Good Lord Roman Reigns is a terrible face lol

[Mr. Nerfect]

That was the exact same segment as last week, except with some shitty "let's do it right now" "nah" moment added on that no one believes.

[Dark One]

Maybe they worked with the crew before the show or directed it themselves, even. The possibilities are endless.

Joe knows After Effects FOR SURE.

No way that was WWE produced. No word art or aggressive camera cuts.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Maybe they worked with the crew before the show or directed it themselves, even. The possibilities are endless.

man I'm picturing that happening. It seems hilarious to me.

[Mr. Nerfect]

People should start swearing chants at Reigns. If the WWE is so concerned with being PG, they'll have to do something about it.

[KIRA]

I hope the tenth man is Tye Dillinger I'll also accept Greg The Hammer Valentine

[Emperor Smeat]

I have no clue how this is supposed to make fans like Roman more.

At this point, don't think WWE knows or cares either. He has the same problem Cena has whenever he suffered a major loss by just shrugging it off or not using it as the basis to go in a new real direction for his character.

[Lock Jaw]

man I'm picturing that happening. It seems hilarious to me.

Imagine him standing over the shoulder of an editor, while in his ring gear, sweating profusely while shouting instructions.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Why does the Domino's Commercial immediately show "Oh Yes We did" when the announcer said, "We didn't stop at pizza?"

[Mr. Nerfect]

Maybe they worked with the crew before the show or directed it themselves, even. The possibilities are endless.

"In addition to watching tape and training, I've got a passion for audio-visual editing. Take a look..."

*recap video that is poorly edited to awful music with dodgy cuts plays*

[Lock Jaw]

Absolution kind of really needs a new theme now.

[ClockShot]

Paige's theme............for Absolution.

Hope it's just for tonight.

[Emperor Smeat]

Surprised Absolution is still using Paige's theme. Figured they would have gotten a new theme once Paige was sidelined or retired.

[Dark One]

If Paige is going to be GM of Smackdown they should probably get Absolution their own music.

[Mr. Nerfect]

They've seriously forgotten what the point of being a wrestler is. They're trying to get him over because he can't win a real fight, guys. That's actually what's happening.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

they should present videos like they directed it too. "Roman, check out this slick ass video I made, pretty tight right? It's not even my day job!"

[Lock Jaw]

They probably forgot about it until they booked Mandy Rose.

[Dark One]

Surprised Absolution is still using Paige's theme. Figured they would have gotten a new theme once Paige was sidelined or retired.

CFO$ probably still looking for a good song to rip off/"sample"

[Anybody Thrilla]

I hope the tenth man is Tye Dillinger I'll also accept Greg The Hammer Valentine

Oh my fucking god that almost makes too much sense.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Go it alone...together...

Is Booker T in Gorilla?

[DAMN iNATOR]

Why does the Domino's Commercial immediately show "Oh Yes We did" when the announcer said, "We didn't stop at pizza?"

To confuse you and only you, clearly.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Mandy Rose so fucking yum.

[Evil Vito]

Mandy Rose is fucking delicious

[KIRA]

It's not like Mandy Rose and Sonya don't already have their own theme music come on WWE

[Dark One]

Setting the "YAAAAAAAY" count at 3.

Won't be long enough for more.

[Lock Jaw]

Mandy Rose got some sick knees she always gives

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don't think Nattie knows whether she is supposed to be a face or a heel either.

[Anybody Thrilla]

they should present videos like they directed it too. "Roman, check out this slick ass video I made, pretty tight right? It's not even my day job!"

"I call this piece 'Roman Sucks'..."

[slik]

Feel like no 'major changes' will be made off-tv

[Lock Jaw]

Is Nattie a face now because she fist bumped Ronda?

[Evil Vito]

lol Mojo Rawley has been traded to Raw, joining the same show as Zack Ryder

FIGHT FOREVER

[Anybody Thrilla]

If my friend hadn't woken up, I'd probably be appreciating Mandy Rose without pants on right now.

[Lock Jaw]

Now Ronda comes out to murder the other MMA chick before they go to Smackdown

[ClockShot]

Yeah, why wasn't Deville in this match?

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Ronda's fast walk to the ring.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I kinda thought Becky Lynch was coming out there for some reason, but I guess I forgot about that segment earlier.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Corey Graves finally trying to add some actual color.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Coach does not care.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

jobs the up and coming star like a chump

[RP]

Mandy Rose, Alexa Bliss and Liv Morgan on the same show? I would love to be the shower drain in that locker room.

[ClockShot]

Ah. That's why.

[Dark One]

RIP Sonya's gimmick

[Emperor Smeat]

Smackdown with another big win now that Corbin is gone.

[RP]

Baron Corbin is RAW

[ClockShot]

Baron's on Raw.

Good riddance.

[Mr. Nerfect]

"Did you see how good Ronda Rousey was?!" Yes. Fuck's sake. When you show, you don't need to tell. This is bad TV.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

hahahahahahah Smackdown is addition by subtraction is Raw getting Mojo Rawley too?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Oh my god, Raw is fucking awful now.

[Lock Jaw]

Baron Corbin to RAW!

Roman Reigns vs. Jinder Mahal for 6 months

Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn for 6 months

Roman Reigns vs. Baron Corbin for 6 months

[RP]

Whats gonna be higher? Raw ratings or Corbins hairline?

[Black Widow]

Boring Corbin this is great how awful Raw is gonna be

[Mr. Nerfect]

What is Baron Corbin's gimmick actually supposed to be? Big, scary guy? He's not that big nor scary.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is 'Fandangoing' still a thing? Anyway, maybe they should Fandango fuck themselves.

[KIRA]

RIP Sonya's gimmick

I said that the minute Ronda Rousey was signed and the board gave me crap for it

[Evil Vito]

Big Cass definitely going to SmackDown to even out the Suck Factor

[Lock Jaw]

What is Baron Corbin's gimmick actually supposed to be? Big, scary guy? He's not that big nor scary.

THE LONE WOLF

[slik]

HA! I called it. Corbin and Jinder and Dolph all on RAW. Now just waiting for Orton and/or Roode to show up.


RAW is completely f****d LOL

[KIRA]

Boring Corbin this is great how awful Raw is gonna be

Wait a minute Baron Corbin actually is coming to Raw kill me now please

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

http://i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/000/281/wolfiemoonie.jpg

[Mr. Nerfect]

Sheamus & Cesaro have to be going to SmackDown. Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt will be the tag champs and Dolph & Drew will have 800 matches with them.

[KIRA]

Oh my God Raw won't be worth watching for like a year

[Lock Jaw]

http://i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/000/281/wolfiemoonie.jpg

THAT ISN'T A LONE WOLF

THERE ARE AT LEAST THREE

[JimmyMess]

that's three wolves.... hes the LONE WOLF

[Emperor Smeat]

RIP Sonya's gimmick

Her gimmick was pretty much on borrowed time once Baszler showed up. No real surprise she got called up to RAW like a month before Baszler's official NXT debut.

WWE getting Ronda for Mania 34 gutted any chance she was going to have to succeed on the main roster.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Not surprised by any of the moves. Everyone feels like someone that was either stale on Raw or that the WWE would "promote."

[Lock Jaw]

What if they reveal that THE BIG DOG is actually a wolf, and he joins Baron Corbin, and they become THE TWO WOLVES

[A.J.K]

pretty sure this is how every shake-up is going to be.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Oh my God Raw won't be worth watching for like a year

It hasn't been for, like, 18, really. If we're being objective.

[Lock Jaw]

Her gimmick was pretty much on borrowed time once Baszler showed up. No real surprise she got called up to RAW like a month before Baszler's official NXT debut.

WWE getting Ronda for Mania 34 gutted any chance she was going to have to succeed on the main roster.

She could have success as an underdog face down the road, especially if they decide to shamelessly play up the fact that she is a lesbian

Still a babyface team, somehow.

[KIRA]

She could have success as an underdog face down the road, especially if they decide to shamelessly play up the fact that she is a lesbian

It's coming they are going to give the gay gimmick they allegedly had for Finn Balor to her

[Emperor Smeat]

Is 'Fandangoing' still a thing? Anyway, maybe they should Fandango fuck themselves.
Outside of very rare occasions with crowds, it hasn't been since WWE quickly killed off its cool factor.

[Mr. Nerfect]

WWE get praised for their production values, but some of their entrances are just bad.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

THAT ISN'T A LONE WOLF

THERE ARE AT LEAST THREE

3 wolf moon is a thing. His stupid shirt reminds me of it.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Remember when The Bar were a couple of bad asses? Why are they now dumb asses?

[Lock Jaw]

WWE get praised for their production values, but some of their entrances are just bad.

The Bar entrance one of the best

[KIRA]

Johnny Curtis back on Raw I do declare

[Dark One]

pretty sure this is how every shake-up is going to be.

I mean, last year Raw pretty much pillaged Smackdown if I recall properly.

This seems much more even.

[Emperor Smeat]

She could have success as an underdog face down the road, especially if they decide to shamelessly play up the fact that she is a lesbian

Maybe with a different gimmick. As is, she's not going to find it with her current MMA one.

[Anybody Thrilla]

GRAVES: This is egregious.

COACH: That would be my one word for the hour.

:lol:

Seriously though

[Mr. Nerfect]

Crowd fucking dead. Do not care.

[Lock Jaw]

WHAT AN UPSET!!

TITUS WORLDWIDE WINS!!!

[Lock Jaw]

I mean.... BREEZANGO

[A.J.K]

BREEZANGO WINS!!!

[ClockShot]

Good golly.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Corey Graves can't take them seriously.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Maybe with a different gimmick. As is, she's not going to find it with her current MMA one.

What if her gimmick was instead of wrestling, once the bell rang, she came to my house and s**ked the f**king sh*t out of my d**k and b*lls?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

been watching Sheamus's workout videos for some reason (must have a thing for pasty white men)... and Cesaro does the chant "SHEAMY WITH THE PACE *CLAP CLAP CLAP* SHEAMY WITH THE PACE *CLAP CLAP CLAP*" and it's kind of dumb but I can't get it out of my head.

[ClockShot]

Nobody plays in Hartford anymore.

[Dark One]

What if her gimmick was instead of wrestling, once the bell rang, she came to my house and s**ked the f**king sh*t out of my d**k and b*lls?

That'll never work.

It's not PG

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

lol Rachel.

[Dark One]

The Bar's kryptonite is a pair of jobbers.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Poor Bar

[Emperor Smeat]

Shame Elias decided to stay in that dump of a brand considering Blue Brand crowds would be more receptive to the musical masterpieces of The Drifter.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Breezango obviously winning when you consider that Sheamus & Cesaro are either going to SmackDown or will need to have 800 more matches with them (I think they'll be going to SmackDown).

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

but yay breezango. Those guys rule.

[slik]

This is what I figured would happen - Roman and Braun need fresh heels and the only people they haven't worked with were the dead weight heels on SD...Corbin, Dolph, Jinder...

I think Roode or Orton will join and turn heel too (eventually)

[Emperor Smeat]

The Bar's kryptonite is a pair of jobbers.

And little kids.

[KIRA]

Be fair I cannot wait to see the bar facing off against the bludgeon Brothers

[rez]

return of Dean

[Lock Jaw]

What if her gimmick was instead of wrestling, once the bell rang, she came to my house and s**ked the f**king sh*t out of my d**k and b*lls?

you have poopfromyourweiner, dude?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I heard lots of good things about Elias. Have been unimpressed 2/2 times. I think people just like the cheap heat because it's...something. It would have been nothing a few years ago.

[KIRA]

Elias is a treasure

[A.J.K]

return of Dean

They did say it's someone's raw debut. Ambrose will likely show up on Smackdown.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Fuck off you don't have time.

[Anybody Thrilla]

That'll never work.

It's not PG

What do you mean? I used asterisks and everything!

[Savio]

"I'm on fiyah!"

[RP]

I heard lots of good things about Elias. Have been unimpressed 2/2 times. I think people just like the cheap heat because it's...something. It would have been nothing a few years ago.

Do you even walk with Elias bro?

[KIRA]

Bobby Lashley is on the face team there's no way they are losing not if against Vince's other more deserving Golden Boy

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm not coming back next week. Just to let you all know. This show has sucked. And because it's so long, I actually feel older coming out of it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Do you even walk with Elias bro?

Fuck no.

[Anybody Thrilla]

you have poopfromyourweiner, dude?

Not for long if Deville's gimmick takes off.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Bobby Lashley is on the face team there's no way they are losing not if against Vince's other more deserving Golden Boy

Why would anyone think they would be losing?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I heard lots of good things about Elias. Have been unimpressed 2/2 times. I think people just like the cheap heat because it's...something. It would have been nothing a few years ago.

Not huge on him myself but he has a prop that he uses beyond hitting people with, so that's something I guess?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Most exciting thing about Raw, legit, has been seeing Dean Winters in a commercial.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Elias is great and Noid has a poop in his pants.

This show has sucked, though.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I'm not coming back next week. Just to let you all know. This show has sucked. And because it's so long, I actually feel older coming out of it.

The rare times I do watch the most fun is posting in here.

[A.J.K]

Smackdown is now the A-Show.

[Lock Jaw]

KOSZ

[Mr. Nerfect]

Not huge on him myself but he has a prop that he uses beyond hitting people with, so that's something I guess?

I don't hate him, and I thought he had *something* in NXT before the Drifter gimmick. A good base to build on, so to speak. But the way people gush I thought he was actually good-good; not just not awful-good.

[slik]

Tye Dillenger?

Big Cass?

Bobby Roode?

Randy Orton?

Cien Almas?

Who will the mystery partner be?!

[Mr. Nerfect]

The rare times I do watch the most fun is posting in here.

I concur. I could not watch this without spewing my thoughts in here.

[Mr. Nerfect]

What is Roman going to say next week when Brock is back on Raw?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Looks like it'll be getting time. Which is good, because there hasn't been a good match all show. We ALMOST had one with Bayley and Sasha. I guess Hardy and Mahal was alright.

[Mr. Nerfect]

"Oh, you're here? Please don't beat me up, sir."

[Savio]

Sami is a much better heel than face.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think it'll be Randy Orton.

[rez]

What is Roman going to say next week when Brock is back on Raw?

Brock will show highlights of Reigns getting beat up by Joe.

[ClockShot]

BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

[Emperor Smeat]

https://i.imgur.com/ma03GZP.gif

[Mr. Nerfect]

Sami is a much better heel than face.

Disagree. Just because he is such a great babyface when he is actually allowed to promo and draw you into what he's doing.

[KIRA]

Daniel Bryan is so awesome I can't wait

[Anybody Thrilla]

During Wrestlemania, we were all getting slap happy towards the end, and we were musing about Strowman's catchphrase being "GET THESE HAMS". He would be a ham salesman, you see, and he would force people to buy ham out of fear. It would work, trust me.

[RP]

I think its Randy Orton

[ClockShot]

Blue Balor today.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think SmackDown might actually get a higher rating than Raw at some point over the next year.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

He said Bullet Club. Does AJ and Balor own any of that still?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I jus realized that Braun Strowman reminds me of Snitsky.

[Lock Jaw]

https://i.imgur.com/plk27dj.png

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The newest Raw dude: Nicholas.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Balor in blue.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Walking Armageddon.

[rez]

The newest Raw dude: Nicholas.

kid can just do e-learning

[Savio]

He does not wear blue every night.

[Mr. Nerfect]

"He wears blue every night."

I haven't been watching, but I'm pretty sure that's not true.

[Lock Jaw]

Did Bobby Lashley start wearing the headband to try to distract from his freaky eyebrows?

[Dark One]

"Traveling the Globe"

It's okay guys. Kurt said TNA. You can say he was in TNA.

[Mr. Nerfect]

There is absolutely no realism or nuance to any of these characters. "I'm happy to be here," "I'll take it day at a time," "Grr, I'm naughty." Everybody fucking sucks.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

GLORIOUS

[Dark One]

There is absolutely no realism or nuance to any of these characters. "I'm happy to be here," "I'll take it day at a time," "Grr, I'm naughty." Everybody fucking sucks.

Ok

[Anybody Thrilla]

"God forbid he'd have to get rid of his t-shirts"

:lol:

[Mr. Nerfect]

Grand Slammin', Snapchat spammin'

[ClockShot]

Roode.

Smackdown's in the clear AND are gonna make out like bandits.

[Evil Vito]

Here's hoping Roode turns on his team tonight. Face Roode sucks.

[KIRA]

I like that they just probably gave you an actual reason Seth Rollins has to stay on Raw

[KIRA]

Here's hoping Roode turns on his team tonight. Face Roode sucks.

Amen

[Lock Jaw]

Roode should turn heel and gain The Roodetourage

[Emperor Smeat]

Depending on who Smackdown nabbed, they are set to make out like bandits from this year's Shakeup.

Guess WWE felt giving RAW most of the post-Mania callups was an equal trade-off.

[Dark One]

Who's 205 Live going to pick up in the Superstar Shake-up?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lol, Michael Cole making this out to be a big deal.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Unless everyone who moved tonight somehow moves BACK to Smackdown tomorrow, RAW IS FUCKED

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

All the babyfaces are physical specimens. All the heels look like a bunch of rec league b-ball players.

[Anybody Thrilla]

That's why THIS needs to happen.

[Evil Vito]

So the big name I thought would switch brands and didn't is Orton. Hopefully this means we can avoid our national nightmare of another Orton/Jinder feud.

Of course, it's also possible that Orton simply becomes a free agent like Cena.

[KIRA]

Right now my only regret is that I'll never get to hear Bobby Rooooooooooo and the Rated R Sooooooooouperstar as an entrance announcement

There is absolutely no realism or nuance to any of these characters. "I'm happy to be here," "I'll take it day at a time," "Grr, I'm naughty." Everybody fucking sucks.

Why would Paige trade the US Champion and not get the IC Champion? Rollins should have probably assumed that he's going to SmackDown. Either that or Paige is banking on Miz winning the IC Title at GRR or Backlash. This is so silly.

lol did cole omit Owens ever being the universal champ?

Legit surprised Smackdown got to keep Styles, Nakamura, and Bryan. Felt like a very safe bet they would have lost 1-2 of them with the Shakeup.

Even their Women's and Tag division didn't suffer any major losses.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm sick of these fresh match-ups already. I want to see Lashley in the ring, actually.

No, he mentioned it. He was just going through his resume.

Until Vince loses his shit during the week and just moves people around for the hell of it.

Bobby Lashley vs. Bobby Roode in a Battle of the Bobbys. Bet you it happens.

okay I missed it. I heard him say IC champ, US champ, NXT champ but not universal.

I figured they wouldn't pull Styles or Nakamura since they just started adding fire to that feud, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

I 100% thought, though, that they'd steal Bryan.

The idiot in the Dr. Pepper commercial has got more charisma than almost everyone on the current roster.

Coach is really funny.

Who's 205 Live going to pick up in the Superstar Shake-up?

The Ghost of Neville.

I think he said it before that. He definitely did say it earlier, because I thought "Haha, oh yeah."

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

tbh every time I watch RAW it's like this and I regret it.

It's not just us. My mom's friend went to a show over here and when I asked her what it was like, she said "Boring. Really disappointing really." :lol:

75,000 posts. They must all be read in order for any of them to make complete sense. You're all welcome.

Lights really dark. I assume they didn't come even close to selling out. Mild reaction for Strowman.

Don't act like you're going to trade Braun strowman if you get rid of him you may as well not even have Raw

Bold choice not waiting for the Ealy Brothers run-in in the overrun, but congratulations.

"Mild reaction for Strowman" while the arena was chanting for him to get tagged in.

Nah. It's pretty full. Buddy got tickets late but he's up in the upper tier.

Bobby Lashley :heart:

WWE Game Night.

My head's starting to hurt.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why is that the first I'm hearing of Super Troopers 2 and it's already out on Friday?

[KIRA]

Between this and Daniel Bryan finally getting his hands on him Miz is going to go home to visit his child in an iron lung

It was so fucking quiet I could barely tell.
