RAW: Roman vs Lashley, may God help us all ***OFFICIAL THREAD***

[Savio]

Oh and Stephanie left the building before the main event because she's not interested in watching the show

[Dark One]

Oh and Stephanie left the building before the main event because she's not interested in watching the show

She truly is the smartest of us all.

[RP]

Seth Rollins is so over. You just know WWE will wait for his pop to start to fizzle out before they put the strap on him.

[KIRA]

Just think if Kevin Nash Charged across the ring like Drew did that would have been the end of his quads

[Jordan]

Great finish, I think Seth is the best in WWE. Maybe tied with AJ maybe better.

[RP]

No Bobby, Roman has had like 10 chances against Brock.

[Savio]

I was peeing did McIntyre get disqualified?

Pls tell me

[Jordan]

Pls tell me

I don't think they made a determination. Maybe I'm wrong, Dolph came in and then Seth came in and they brawled about.

[Savio]

(After her curfew)

[Savio]

I don't think they made a determination. Maybe I'm wrong, Dolph came in and then Seth came in and they brawled about.

As long as it wasn't a pin

[RP]

Liv Morgan moves my pee.

[Lock Jaw]

oh no

Riott Squad theme changed?! Say it isn't so

[Dark One]

oh no

Riott Squad theme changed?! Say it isn't so

ABT doubly rolling in his grave now.

But Liv walked so maybe only a single roll.

[RP]

Liv Morgan and Mandy Rose could pull off a great " Sister " team. Also they could pull off a great " Shit in my mouth " team also.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wouldn't it make more sense for Ember to get revenge against Logan instead if nobody from Riott Squad was allowed to be at ringside?

[Jordan]

This match is the death spot tonight.

[Dark One]

Wouldn't it make more sense for Ember to get revenge against Logan instead if nobody from Riott Squad was allowed to be at ringside?

See

The problem here is you're ascribing meaning and storyline advancement to this match.

I'm pretty sure creative was just like "We need to put two people out there to fill five minutes."

[Jordan]

Prediction, Bobby Lashley interrupts Elias before the main event and starts a program to Summerslam with him.

[Dark One]

I hope they add some kind of stip to Rollins/Ziggler... I mean... they went from having great, long matches to an ironman match... to a regular match that'll last like 15 minutes?

[Dark One]

Tapping out before Lashley/Reigns.

Their match at Extreme Rules was fine, I just don't like the whole "Fuck it. Let's do it again two weeks later THIS TIME FOR STAKES"

See you all tomorrow.

[Poit]

I hope they add some kind of stip to Rollins/Ziggler... I mean... they went from having great, long matches to an ironman match... to a regular match that'll last like 15 minutes?

Wait, it's not for the championship?

What's the point of having a third match without stakes?

[Emperor Smeat]

True. WWE makes it really hard to not notice all the flaws in their shows.

[Savio]

What records?

[Jordan]

Wait, it's not for the championship?

No it's for the IC Championship he's just saying they didn't add a gimmick to it considering their last match was Iron Man.

[RP]

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Elias finally getting the chance to sing tonight.

[RP]

I have no idea who OAR is

[KIRA]

HE'S DOING IT

[Lock Jaw]

Elias #1

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Elias' crowd insult

[Poit]

No it's for the IC Championship he's just saying they didn't add a gimmick to it considering their last match was Iron Man.

Oh, that makes more sense. But yeah, having a regular match after an ironman match is weird.

[KIRA]

]Wow lashley left that one guy hanging on live television that must have been embarrassing

[Savio]

" it doesn't matter what happened last week"

[xrodmuc316]

" it doesn't matter what happened last week"

Truest statement ever

[Lock Jaw]

Not paying attention to this match

[Emperor Smeat]

Coachman has some of the dumbest questions and quick takes out of everyone currently in WWE's commentary. Like a lot of the dumb stuff he blurts out ends up coming off as him speaking just for the sake of it.

[Jordan]

Yeah Coach is stupid.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at the awkward landing by Reigns inside the ring. Spiked his head from the toss by Lashley.

[RP]

Good match. Few botches though.

[Savio]

Bye Raw. Fuck off.

[slik]

lol Roman vs Brock

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess Vince is never going to learn with Reigns' booking and direction. Pretty much made the match at Extreme Rules meaningless in the end.

[Innovator]

Lashley has to lose 10 pounds of sweat per match

[Simple Fan]

That's just stupid. They'll shit all over that match at Summerslam. Lashley vs Lesnar would have been fresh and could play off boths MMA background.

[Lock Jaw]

THE BIG DOG HAS OVERCOME THE ODDS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[slik]

The friendly NY crowd will definitely respond to Brock vs Roman the same way the friendly WM crowd did

[Dark One]

I am shocked. Looks like I made the right call.

The only way this works in the end—and I don’t remember who posted this before—is if Roman wins to the expected cacophony of boos, Braun’s music hits, he cashes in the briefcase, and leaves New York with the belt and more over than Stone Cold, The Rock, and God combined for saving us all.

That said, Roman will probably win, Kevin Owens will get an Eddie Guerrero style DQ to steal the case, try to cash in, and lose to a single spear because fuck you.

[slik]

Honestly, this was it for me w/ RAW -- for a while. If you're watching & love it -- I think that's great and I hope you continue, I'm a positive vibes type of dude.

But for me, RAW's just hasn't been cutting it and I have zero desire for Brock/Roman...Again. I'll stick w/ SDLive.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Vince knows what the reaction is going to be at SummerSlam.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I guess I had fun here or whatever, but fuck that main event.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Kinda super pissed about Roman/Lesnar AGAIN. Even if Strowman breaks it up, still garbage. Hot garbage.

[Tom Guycott]

Damn it. I am not only super late to the party, and not only did I miss Finn's new "dressing room", but I also can't find my "In The Doghouse" pic to make the appropriate alterations. I'm totally off my game.

[Big Vic]

That still doesn't interest me, just want Roman to go away.

[Dark One]

For what it's worth, A-Block Night 4 of the G1's best match involved YOSHI-HASHI, so it's not like I escaped to something that much better.

[Innovator]

I hope they open with this match at Summerslam, just get it over with

[Innovator]

I'm happy at least someone appreciated old school OAR last night

[Simple Fan]

Did anyone get a count on how many times they mentioned the women's PPV? I feel like it was mentioned every segment. Hope that doesn't occur every week until it happens.

[Dark One]

Based on the number of times "THE ULTIMATE THRILLRIDE" or "SURVIVOR SERIES IS THE ONE NIGHT A YEAR WHERE RAW AND SMACKDOWN FACE OFF IN HEAD TO HEAD COMPETITION" or "SURVIVOR SERIES--FANTASY WARFARE JUST GOT REAL" were used... I'm going to guess that by October we're going to reach peak density of "WWE EVOLUTION: THE ONE NIGHT A YEAR WHERE 50 LEGENDS AND PRESENT DAY FEMALE SUPERSTARS TAKE OVER" of four times per segment.

[Big Vic]

Hope the all womens PPV is mainevented by Hervina and Santina

Feel the same way.

I’ve not really been watching over the last few weeks, just catching the 3 min recap vids in the Raw report on the main page. Probably go back to that having watched most of this week’s show.

Not sure if you knew these things, but all of the pay per views are now dual-branded, and the WWE Network is only $9.99.

[Anybody Thrilla]

"I really would appreciate a <s>title shot</s> championship opportunity, but more importantly, I'm really proud of <s>Stephanie McMahon</s> all of the <s>divas</s> women for the FIRST EVER all <s>bitches</s> female pay per view!"

This is getting hard to justify anymore.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I understood roughly forty percent of this sentence.

[xrodmuc316]

Yeah I dont like that. Randomly having Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins going out of their way to talk about a PPV that is 3 months away like it is Wrestlemania is going to get old real fast.

Personally I also dislike that they announced it 3 months out. I fear WWE will do nothing with the woman BUT hype that they are gonna have their own PPV in 3 months. Would anybody feel surprised if the lazy WWE and their writing staff put the women's division in a holding pattern for the next 2 plus months, until they actually start booking towards the PPV?

Then again, they might literally just book the whole PPV like early NXT, no real storylines, just random matches thrown together with the only backstory being "these woman are making history!" The more I think about it, the less convinced i am that the writing staff will treat this any different than they do Raw every single week, just filling time with whatever.

[Big Vic]

ABT should have ran into the ring and kicked Lashley in the nuts giving him the DQ victory.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Well shit, where was this idea on Sunday?

[Anybody Thrilla]

How is Kevin Owens the heel in this Braun feud? He's done nothing wrong, and Strowman has been nothing but a dick.

[Big Vic]

KO is fat.

[Anybody Thrilla]

It worked for Nia Jax.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Who wasn't on Raw, thank goodness.

[Dark One]

It worked for Nia Jax.

Did it though?

[Dark One]

I understood roughly forty percent of this sentence.

Imagine if Zack Ryder had the best match in King of the Ring.

The only thing heel about Owens is going to Baron/Steph for help. That's it. Dude should be a face.

SHE DESERVED IT! *CLAP CLAP, CLAP-CLAP-CLAP*

[Anybody Thrilla]

SYNOPSIS:

Kevin Owens realizes that Braun Strowman is a clear and present danger in a multi-man match where there are no real rules, so he comes up with a sound strategy to form a loose alliance with the other people in the match to attempt to quell Braun's aggression. Literally every single other person tells Kevin to fuck off. The match happens, and suddenly everyone else realizes that Kevin's idea was right the entire time, but it's too late, and Braun wins.

Kevin realizes that Braun's might is worthy of respect, and being an astute businessman, he attempts to form an alliance with Braun. If you can't beat them, join them, they say. Braun, being a dick, tells Kevin to fuck off, but then proceeds to stalk him, lock him in a toilet, and throw him from twenty feet high through a table. The crowd goes wild.

[Dark One]

SHE DESERVED IT! *CLAP CLAP, CLAP-CLAP-CLAP*

This is your worst post.

Just FYI

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm sure there are worse ones.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why did they let AOP talk? Why did they let also let Apollo Crews do it in the same segment?

(I'm watching this back now, if you're wondering)

[Anybody Thrilla]

I like how Kevin went to hug Steph, but then he remembered that she told him once to not touch her, so he pulled back and shook her hand. It's like he's the only person on the show paying any attention to anything.

[Dark One]

Continuity? That's why he'll never be the man.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Man, Mojo Rawley is kinda good.

[Dark One]

Man, Mojo Rawley is kinda good.

Okay. This is your worst post.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Fuck that, have you been watching? He's turning into a mighty fine heel.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Not to say you should be watching. Just wondering.

[Simple Fan]

I've been fast forwarding Mojo matches, he faced No Way Jose for like a month straight on Raw.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Yeah, I can understand why you would do that. But I'm saying, he's getting good.

[Anybody Thrilla]

You have to start somewhere with a push. You've got to beat a few No Way Joses and Tyler Breezes to let people know what's going on. He's not about to bulldoze Finn Balor right away.

[Lock Jaw]

But what about that Riott Squad theme, ABT? I'm pretty devastated.....

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm fairly crestfallen myself, but it doesn't sound THAT different. At least Liv got to do a bit of her adorable walk last night. She must have known I was in the building.

[KIRA]

The only thing heel about Owens is going to Baron/Steph for help. That's it. Dude should be a face.
It could be that Bruan just knows that Kevin Owens is no good and he knows he's just trying to suck up to him. If it was genuine( look at the way he treats Finn Balor) he probably wouldn't have attacked him but he knows Kevin an asshole who just didn't want to get destroyed

So Braun is just ahead of the curve

[Anybody Thrilla]

People can change, KIRA.

[Gerard]

Women's only ppv, that's gonna be funny. Match after match of people that can barely make the ropes move and need very obvious assistance on virtually every move they do.

[KIRA]

People can change, KIRA.

I mean yea but Owens still has a history

[xrodmuc316]

Anybody who dislikes K.O. because he is fat is just as stupid as anybody that liked Nia because she is fat.

[Innovator]

Can we not like Nia because she suuuuuuuucks?

[Fignuts]

I just don't like that they portray Owens as an unhinged psychopath one minute, and a snivelling coward the next.
