Raw Thread - 7/9/18 - Braun stalks Owens; Balor & Roode v. Corbin & Elias for some reason (feat. Dr. Shelby)

[Anybody Thrilla]

Who's watching? I'll be here for a bit.

[Frank Drebin]

If I do, what do I have to look forward to?

Other than the company of all my friends here at tpww.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think I put some details in the thread title.

Rumor has it that RP wishes he was Kevin Owens last week and Braun had tipped over a porta-potty freshly used by Alexa Bliss and Liv Morgan.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Fuck yeah, Roman and Lashley BAYBAYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[xrodmuc316]

Lol Raw starting strong with a highlight package for Roman and Lashley

[RP]

WWE Raping me in my throat with more Roman Reigns right off the top of the show

[Dark One]

95% chance I'm going to fall asleep during this show due to bronchitis + lack of sleep.

[Dark One]

Also is that the first time they've shown ANYTHING from December to Dismember in a highlight package?

[xrodmuc316]

Stupid WWE Revisionist history. Bobby was not in the main event of Mania 23

[Droford]

Bob Lashley

[ClockShot]

Blows my mind that they can get Lashley and Reigns to the point of killing each other in a matter of weeks yet we're waiting for the same thing to happen with Bayley and Sasha Banks for a few months now.

[Anybody Thrilla]

95% chance I'm going to fall asleep during this show due to bronchitis + lack of sleep.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

[Frank Drebin]

Lashey/Roman? Can there be less charisma in a match?

[slik]

RAW opening w/ a 5 minute video package on Roman Reigns....

[RP]

This crowd is not going to be friendly.

[ClockShot]

Don't tell me that was a piped in chant.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Did Lashley just call out Roman for not calling him out?

[xrodmuc316]

Did my ears deceive me, was Boston just chanting "Lets go Lashley"???

[Dark One]

Did Lashley just call out Roman for not calling him out?

Is this better or worse than when Triple H called out Sting in order to call him out for a future PPV in which he would call him out?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Stupid WWE Revisionist history. Bobby was not in the main event of Mania 23

You know how some shows have, like, three main events?

[Frank Drebin]

Why does Roman's entrance take longer than 'Taker's?

[slik]

BIG DOG gets BIG BOOS

[ClockShot]

Opening movie package, backstage segment, in-ring promo.

Oooof.

[RP]

Rumor has it that RP wishes he was Kevin Owens last week and Braun had tipped over a porta-potty freshly used by Alexa Bliss and Liv Morgan.

Not just last week. All the time.

[KIRA]

The boos ones are so real

[Anybody Thrilla]

Did my ears deceive me, was Boston just chanting "Lets go Lashley"???

Maybe they just hate Roman THAT much.

[Droford]

HARD HITTING!

[RP]

Is this new Lashley music?

[Frank Drebin]

Has Lashley gotten over at all since he came back?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Lashley should have charged the ring and just started swinging.

[Droford]

People might actually be in to this if they believed for 1/2 a second that bob stands a chance

[KIRA]

Why does Roman's entrance take longer than 'Taker's?

It doesn't we just hate him so it feels longer

[slik]

It's the battle of bad promos, Roman vs "Bob" Lashley

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is this new Lashley music?

New as of last week. Slight remix. I like the other one better.

[KIRA]

Who told Roman that calling Bobby Lashley Bob makes him sound cool or clever because they lied to his f****** face

[Dark One]

Are we just done with Bobby Lashley's sisters or nah?

I wanted to hear more about them stapling him to a car door when he wouldn't wear his seatbelt.

[ClockShot]

OH MY GOD WE NEED THE LOCKER ROOM FOR THIS!

*sarcasm*

[Anybody Thrilla]

Mojo Rawley for sure gives a shit about this.

[slik]

I have "Snakes On A Train" from The Asylum on in the background in case RAW gets boring.

[ClockShot]

Strike that. Just jobbers to separate 'em.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think this segment was cool one time with Lesnar and Undertaker, but that's about it.

[rez]

I can't even come up with a sentence describing how horrible this is.

[ClockShot]

Moving up to the mid-card.

[Droford]

Brock should come out now, why not

[RP]

I DONT WANT TO SEE THEM AT ALL COACH!

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Balor beating up Corbin instead of helping to separate Reigns and Lashley

[ClockShot]

Did I see Mike Bennet in there somewhere?

[Frank Drebin]

I think this segment was cool one time with Lesnar and Undertaker, but that's about it.

Cena/Brock where Cena was bleeding from the mouth was before that, and pretty decent. This is garbage.

[Droford]

LOL Bob just ran over roman

[ClockShot]

Where's Braun?

This will end when he shows up.

[Droford]

The Constable needs to assert his author..oh wait

[RP]

Can we get to the Alexa Bliss segment now?

[KIRA]

I want somebody anybody to hit no way Jose in the face next and then Mojo Riley not necessarily in that order

[RP]

Holy shit Bobby Rhoode is back!

[xrodmuc316]

Why the fuck would guys that are supposed to be feuding be working together to stop other wrestlers from fighting. Mojo and Jose, Corbin and Balor. A.O.P. and Titus Worldwide. So stupid.

[Frank Drebin]

Regretting watching this. Looking forward to the Supreme Court pick at this point. zzzzzzz

[KIRA]

Cena/Brock where Cena was bleeding from the mouth was before that, and pretty decent. This is garbage.

Samoa Joe Brock Lesnar pull apart was really cool

[slik]

Why is my dude Balor being used as a flunkie in this segment

[xrodmuc316]

You know how some shows have, like, three main events?

Tell that to CM Punk. Main Event is the match that ends the show.

[ClockShot]

This isn't anywhere as good as 'Taker/Brock.

[KIRA]

Why the fuck would guys that are supposed to be feuding be working together to stop other wrestlers from fighting. Mojo and Jose, Corbin and Balor. A.O.P. and Titus Worldwide. So stupid.

Don't you miss the days when the heels were for the heels and the faces were with a faces now it's all just one giant clusterfuk

[Emperor Smeat]

All that's missing from this segment is Lashley or Reigns randomly beating up Konnor to match Taker and Lesnar's brawl.

[RP]

Alexa's face when she see's a black beast.

[Droford]

Can we get to the Alexa Bliss segment now?

There you go

[slik]

Roman takes out the entire RAW roster (sort-of).

Ughhhh.

[Dark One]

Sweet Bronchitis take me away.

[Emperor Smeat]

Are we just done with Bobby Lashley's sisters or nah?

I wanted to hear more about them stapling him to a car door when he wouldn't wear his seatbelt.

Doubt Reigns wants to be cursed by invoking Lashley's sisters name. Look what happened to Sami shortly afterwards.

[slik]

Franky BayBay and Slik BayBay are on the same page, BayBay

[Droford]

oh neat...a purge tv series

[xrodmuc316]

Don't you miss the days when the heels were for the heels and the faces were with a faces now it's all just one giant clusterfuk

Lol yes, the roster can get away with 2-3 tweeners max, not 90% of the locker room.

[slik]

All this did was remind me of the really good Brock/Taker pull-apart

[slik]

oh neat...a purge tv series

Trump did announce his 2020 campaign slogan is "Keep America Great'

Hashtag STOLEN from The Purge: Election Year

[RP]

stop smiling you fat retard

[xrodmuc316]

I know Mickie James is far older than most the other divas, but seriously her fake boobs are the best.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think this segment was cool one time with Lesnar and Undertaker, but that's about it.

This isn't anywhere as good as 'Taker/Brock.

All this did was remind me of the really good Brock/Taker pull-apart

[RP]

I want Alexa Bliss to rub her period on my face

[ClockShot]

There goes the Kendo Stick being super powerful.

[RP]

http://www.ringsidenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/020.jpg

:lol: at Balor beating up Corbin instead of helping to separate Reigns and Lashley

You laugh but he has his priorities straight

[Droford]

Alexa was in a kendo stick match vs Bayley last year at ER

[Dark One]

The first 40 minutes of this show has been Roman Reigns + Bobby Lashley promos and Alexa + Nia Bliss match and promo.

What did I do to deserve this

[Emperor Smeat]

So what was the purpose of Nia turning heel on Ronda if she went right back to being a face against Bliss. Even rehashing the same storyline the last time those two feuded.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Alexa was in a kendo stick match vs Bayley last year at ER

And she whooped Bayley's ass in that match too. What is she so scared of?

[Emperor Smeat]

The first 40 minutes of this show has been Roman Reigns + Bobby Lashley promos and Alexa + Nia Bliss match and promo.

What did I do to deserve this

And now a segment recap involving actual shit and blue liquids.

[RP]

I was just thinking " where's my Mojo vs No Way Jose rematch ".

[KIRA]

You know the stupid name notwithstanding I think Kevin Owens would have been a better for oil for Kurt Angle then Baron Corbin as constable

[rez]

oh boy...

[ClockShot]

Please let this be quick.

[rez]

if this shit was in the Chicago area tonight, the All State Arena or wherever would burn to the ground.

[KIRA]

So about Naya Jacks let me get this straight Naya Jack spends most of her time as a heel against Asuka then suddenly she's a face because Alexa Bliss was making fun of her despite having no road to said face turn then after she wins the title from Alexa Bliss she goes against Ronda Rousey and it begins looking like just a friendly competition to want to have only to have Naya Jacks inexplicably turn into a heel again and then lose and then suddenly have her remember that she dislike Alexa Bliss and she's a face again?

Who the hell is writing this it doesn't even flow as a proper story. Why does Vince McMahon insist on having storylines when they clearly don't know how to write them?

[KIRA]

This is the third time in a row really is somebody really this invested in no way Jose and Moe Joe Riley

[ClockShot]

Drop that shoulder, Jose.

[Emperor Smeat]

If there was an Slammy for Most Useless Feud of 2018, Mojo vs No Way would easily be the heavy favorite to win it.

[RP]

Dr. Shelby replaced.

[KIRA]

Please God end this match

[rez]

All WWE shrinks share the same office

[ClockShot]

This is gonna lead to Dr. Phil coming in and saving their friendship. Isn't it?

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the new therapist having the exact same office as Dr Shelby. Peak of WWE laziness right there.

[owenbrown]

KIRA are you having an autocorrect problem tonight?

[KIRA]

KIRA are you having an autocorrect problem tonight?
Pretty much yeah it's the phone deciding how to spell things I'm just not bothering to correct it . It does this weird thing where you had to pronounce the names of certain way in order for it to spell it the right way like Asuka has to be pronounced as Ah Su ka saying it the way it's supposed to be said comes out like Oscar.

[KIRA]

Also this is some b******* who is this lady bring back doctor Shelby

[RP]

I think i'm just gonna jack off to porn for the next 2 hours.

[rez]

Did the other Singh brother get released?

[KIRA]

Did the other Singh brother get released?

I think hes still on the Shelf

[owenbrown]

Did the other Singh brother get released?

He's been injured I thought:-\

[owenbrown]

Dammit KIRA :lol:

[rez]

Yeah, I read he was but not like he can't just stand there and meditate now.

[Emperor Smeat]

Did the other Singh brother get released?

Out for the year because of an ACL injury

[KIRA]

Crossfit KingSavior hopefully he can save this show

[RP]

Dolph says he's also going to bring the IC belt, which makes sense because it's a IC title match. Thanks Dolph.

[xrodmuc316]

So what was the purpose of Nia turning heel on Ronda if she went right back to being a face against Bliss. Even rehashing the same storyline the last time those two feuded.

Because she is the worst

[KIRA]

Seth is going to burn through all of his catchphrases tonight

[KIRA]

When it comes to Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler I am not sure who's supposed to be elevating who here

[Emperor Smeat]

This segment is starting to sidetrack badly

[KIRA]

Dolph Ziggler reminding management over and over and over why they decided not to push him to the Moon

[xrodmuc316]

This is what I feared, McIntyre being nothing but a lackey for Ziggler

[rez]

sheep fucker

[Emperor Smeat]

http://i.imgur.com/Djl6h.gif

[KIRA]

Has Ziggler ever had a good promo

[xrodmuc316]

Drew should squash Seth in this match. Seth would lose nothing, Drew would instantly be the most feared heel on the roster.

[Dark One]

Bold choice for the dude who looks like his mom had sex with a giraffe to throw stones at another dude for bestiality.

[KIRA]

Is there a good way to get McIntyre to say Enzo without making mention of Enzo Amore I mean I just need to hear it to remind me of Neville
( I know Neville is Welsh) but the pronunciation would be close enough

[Emperor Smeat]

Has Ziggler ever had a good promo

The one he had leading to the career vs title match against Miz in 2016 was really good. Since then, not really.

[KIRA]

The one he had leading to the career vs title match against Miz in 2016 was really good. Since then, not really.

Oh yea that was nice.

[slik]

Just tuning back in, I took about 45 minutes off

Anything exciting happen or just 'meh'?

[Emperor Smeat]

Just tuning back in, I took about 45 minutes off

Anything exciting happen or just 'meh'?

Besides Rollins implying McIntrye has some lewd photos of himself involving sheep, not really.

[Droford]

lol hilarious

[Dark One]

Just tuning back in, I took about 45 minutes off

Anything exciting happen or just 'meh'?

Nope. This may have been the most excruciating hour and a half of Raw history.

[KIRA]

I don't know that the B Team should have music this good or maybe that's part of the joke

[rez]

Bo is the best Bray

[Dark One]

All right guys, I'm out.

I'm too sick for this shit. See you at Extreme Rules maybe. Jesus.

[Droford]

Matt now sounds Australian..what

[KIRA]

Nope. This may have been the most excruciating hour and a half of Raw history.


I'd like to remind you a little something call the 25th anniversary of raw but this is up there in terms of being complete shitshow

[KIRA]

All right guys, I'm out.

Have a good one.

[slik]

WTF I just read they replaced Dr Shelby

[xrodmuc316]

Lol at a Carmella Asuka commercial being right in the middle of the match

[Emperor Smeat]

Mentioned it before in the past but such a stupid idea for WWE to do the split screen for their own commercials. Just comes off as them not caring at all what's currently happening in the ring.

[owenbrown]

Still find it hilarious WWE is using that episode in their quest to win an Emmy.

And when they don't, Kevin Dunn should be fired on live tv

[RP]

Matt taking more L's

[Droford]

Id have the B Team win, why not

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE telegraphing really hard during this feud that the B Team isn't winning the tag titles at Extreme Rules. Even if they do break the go-home curse, probably only because of Bray being a dumbass recently with his car crash incident.

[KIRA]

I don't understand the logic in the WWE so actual teams seldom ever get the tag titles but thrown together teams who were normally singles guys put the belts on them.

I read somewhere that part of the reasoning is that actual tag teams part of the reasoning is if one member gets injured then they can't function at all as opposed to a thrown-together team where they're already established and individuals.

Speaking of tag teams where is the Revival they beat Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley twice they should be on top of the world right now.

[Droford]

lol that was odd

[rez]

That was fucking rude, Liv.

[owenbrown]

Jesus Christ, Bo

[slik]

Believe That

[slik]

Tyler Breeze trying to help Sarah Logan w/ her image backstage

[KIRA]

And when they don't, Kevin Dunn should be fired on live tv

Or just get ahead of it and fire him right now

[RP]

this Banks and Bayley thing is literally going nowhere.

[slik]

this Banks and Bayley thing is literally going nowhere.

We're back where we were with the storyline 9 months ago, joy.

[owenbrown]

Or just get ahead of it and fire him right now

And Vince should step down as Chairman and CEO of WWE

[RP]

I want to Extreme Raw dog Alexa in the butt

[KIRA]

We're back where we were with the storyline 9 months ago, joy.

I don't know whether they deserve props or not for outright acknowledging that fact on the show

[xrodmuc316]

I love everything about Ember Moon. Awesome look, great entrance, amazing entrance theme, the eyes, and the best finisher in the game.

[KIRA]

So what I'm hearing from Alexa Bliss is that she likes being a dom you hear that RP

[Emperor Smeat]

For a group called Riott Squad, they really don't do much in the way of rioting especially after losses like their tron claims.

[slik]

OWEN

don't h8 on Vince!

[RP]

So what I'm hearing from Alexa Bliss is that she likes being a dom you hear that RP

That promo made me spew ejaculate in my jeans. I dont even want to unzip my pants right now. I fear the mess i've made.

[KIRA]

Alexa Bliss says she's not trying to be a carbon copy with her blond hair and short stature and........... you know what nevermind

[KIRA]

That promo made me spew ejaculate in my jeans. I dont even want to unzip my pants right now. I fear the mess i've made.

Easy killer

[RP]

I want Alexa Bliss and Liv Morgan to pop there ass cysts all over my face.

[KIRA]

There's no way Ember Moon can't be champion she's too good

[KIRA]

I'm sorry Bobby but Finn Balor has you beat in the abs Department

[RP]

Save us Elias

[Emperor Smeat]

:D Elias working on an album

[slik]

Elias the biggest face on RAW tonight

[KIRA]

Elias has been recording!!! thank God

[RP]

I'll buy Elias album

[RP]

Baron can you please stay away from Elias.

[RP]

Baron Corbin just ruined an Elias promo. Amazing.

[Emperor Smeat]

Not sure what is worse, Corbin's promo skills or musical skills.

[KIRA]

Nice save corbin(not really)

[slik]

This is fucking stupid

[KIRA]

Add music to the growing pile of things that Corbin can't do

[KIRA]

Also isn't this thing with Finn Balor at just them rehashing the Daniel Bryan big cast thing

[KIRA]

Just 5 minutes alone with the dumbass who thought Bobby Roode should be a faces all I want

[Emperor Smeat]

So both tag matches tonight got the WWE commercial split screen treatment. Guess WWE doesn't really care about this Balor/Corbin feud either.

[rez]

why are these christian alternative rock band guys fighting each other

[RP]

I would eat AIDS out of Alexa Bliss's butthole

[slik]

Let the in-ring action lead the story instead of Michael Cole leading the story by screaming bullet points in the most forced way possible.

[Emperor Smeat]

The Ronda WWE 2K19 commercial was pretty bad.

[RP]

MORE ROMAN REIGNS MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE

Doubt WWE cares or else they wouldn't constantly be paying the media to get mainstream coverage. Same for Ronda only being signed for mainstream appeal and as a lazy way to get a massive new tv deal.

FOX is going to learn very soon what USA Network has been dealing with for years in terms of dealing with a lazy company.

Since when is a Iron Man match 30 minutes long?

[Droford]

itd be odd to call that an alabama slam

[Emperor Smeat]

For a guy with a "Burn it down" catchphrase, Rollins hasn't set anything on fire since last year's WWE 2K commercial.

[RP]

I really like Drew McIntyre

[Bad News Gertner]

Turned on Raw to see if I won Survivor. McIntyre used to be the most boring wrestler on the roster. He's fantastic now.

That's because this whole thing is still run by a 70-something year old man with the mind of a five-year-old I'm not talking about Donald Trump.

[slik]

Outside of the main-event, this was a bad show

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess Rollins shouldn't have insulted McIntyre's sheep friends earlier since that gave Drew all the motivation needed for his win ... and some Ziggy help.

[RP]

Braun got pinned by Owens midway thru the show. Owens cheated.

No joke, he should come out during the Reigns and Lashley match and slaughter them both, then challenge Brock at Summerslam. Put the belt on him Vince!

[Bad News Gertner]

Child please. I've been reading the ongoing results.


God bless car accidents

[Tom Guycott]

I don't understand the logic in the WWE so actual teams seldom ever get the tag titles but thrown together teams who were normally singles guys put the belts on them.

I read somewhere that part of the reasoning is that actual tag teams part of the reasoning is if one member gets injured then they can't function at all as opposed to a thrown-together team where they're already established and individuals.

Speaking of tag teams where is the Revival they beat Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley twice they should be on top of the world right now.


Distilled for your pleasure.

Since when is a Iron Man match 30 minutes long?

They seem to periodically flip between 30 and 60. It's one of the reasons why they generally don't just say "Iron Man Match", they always tack on the time limit before saying it.

[Cool King]

• The first twenty minutes of the show was dedicated to Reigns and Lashley and five minutes of that was a really lame brawl.

Also, Lashley really shouldn't look directly at the camera.

https://s22.postimg.cc/3td1vkgg1/lash.png

He probably stared right into my soul for a good three seconds before realising that she shouldn't be looking directly into the camera.

• "There is no explanation and there are no rules" is an awful tagline for a PPV.

• I preferred Mojo Rawley's old theme. His new one sounds more like a generic jobber's theme. It reminds me of what they did with Big Cass, in that Cass had a decent theme that was different and stood out amongst the other themes but they then changed it for some reason to some generic rock nonsense.

The same thing has happened to Mojo.

• Did Dr Shelby get the boot? A part of me feels that when he appeared, the reaction wasn't really all that great for him. I always thought that a reappearance of Dr Shelby would get a good reaction but nobody seemed to care.

• Rollins' joke towards McIntyre is really more of a joke you would make to people from Wales. They're the sheep shaggers.

The only sheep shaggers in Scotland are from Aberdeen and McIntyre ain't from there, so the joke doesn't really work, unless that is, you're from outside the UK and you don't know any of that.

• Bo Dallas' impression of his brother is great. It always makes me chuckle.

Bo is a better Bray than Bray.

• Boom mic in shot.

[Cool King]

Is there a good way to get McIntyre to say Enzo without making mention of Enzo Amore I mean I just need to hear it to remind me of Neville
( I know Neville is Welsh) but the pronunciation would be close enough

Neville is English.

[slik]

Dr Shelby got one of the biggest pops last week

really dumb to not use him again IMO

[Cool King]

Really?

It didn't sound like it to me.

It sounded more like a "oh, it's that guy. cool." pop. It was pretty half-assed.

[slik]

Everything they do is half-arsed these days it seems...Lashley might be the floppiest flop they ever flopped at this point. IDK if I've ever seen someone redebut and mean so little they intended to mean so much.

[slik]

Just thinking about the awful Roman/Lashley 'fight' and Michael Cole screaming bullet points at the top of his lungs in the most forced way possible and getting instant headache

[Jordan]

I don't know what you were watching or maybe you are just disinterested in the product last night but there is no doubt they have built up Lashley/Roman to be a proper PPV main event. They've done well and the pull apart last night was really solid.

[Jordan]

There is a good chance you have volume issues because he got a half pop at best.

[KIRA]

Neville is English.

Well shit that's embarrassing. I don't know why I had him as Welsh in my head.

[Cool King]

Could it be because of his accent?

He has a really good Geordie accent. Maybe you thought he sounded Welsh?

I've came across people before who aren't British that get all our accents mixed up or can't tell the difference between them.

[Anybody Thrilla]

All I am going to say about this show is that McIntyre got really, really good.

[Big Vic]

So far 3 matches for extreme rules have stipulations.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Now that's what I call extreme, sorta.

[slik]

LOL

Jinder vs Roman was a proper ppv main event too

[Jordan]

Lowest rated Raw ever. Wow.

[slik]

I guess people aren't that interested in Roman's yard.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lowest rated Raw ever. Wow.

That's because it sucks. If they were doing a better job, more people would watch.

[Cool King]

Lowest rated Raw ever. Wow.

I really can't say I'm all that surprised.

When you start a show off with a guy nobody gives a fuck about and then add in another guy that nobody really cares about and have them interact with each other for twenty minutes and have a really piss-poor "brawl", people are going to switch off.

If Vince & Co. really really wanted that segment to take place, they should really have saved it for near the end so it wouldn't have driven people away.
