Brock should be given the gimmick Mr. Mean bc he is a big mean jerk

[slik]

Might watch part of it, but have zero expectations tbh

[ClockShot]

J-Ville, eh.

Make your case for WresleMania tonight.

[Shisen Kopf]

Jacksonville sucks. They have no case for WM

[ClockShot]

Ronda in a match on Raw.

Will she get the jobber treatment?

[KIRA]

I hate it when couples break up.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Was that a grown man in a Roman Reigns t-shirt?

[Shisen Kopf]

Shitty city, to get from one end to the other seriously can take almost 2 hours and you drive thru crappy neighborhood after crappy neighborhood

[ClockShot]

Braun should be coming out in segments like these just to fuck around with Roman and the fans.

[Anybody Thrilla]

With a reaction this pro-Roman, Jacksonville may be making a case for Wrestlemania after all.

[Emperor Smeat]

Kurt Angle might be the dumbest GM in WWE history and maybe even rasslin history considering his Universal title problem all revolves around him being too dumb to strip Lesnar of the belt or force him to defend it at least once a month.

[ClockShot]

BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN will, Roman.

Monster is way better than a "big dog".

[Anybody Thrilla]

Fuck 'em up, Corbin...I guess

[Emperor Smeat]

Angle looks a lot more orangey than usual.

[Shisen Kopf]

Woooooo?

[ClockShot]

Heh heh. Alicia Fox drew the short straw.

What'd she do to deserve this.

[rez]

Extra Roman Reigns down the throat. aghhhhhh

[Emperor Smeat]

Heh heh. Alicia Fox drew the short straw.

What'd she do to deserve this.

Got into a heated argument with Ronda's husband several months ago.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Fifteen minutes into this past week's Lucha Underground, we were already treated to good match and some solid story advancement.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Got into a heated backstage argument with Ronda's husband several months ago.

It looked more like a mall than backstage.

[Anybody Thrilla]

WHY DO THEY KEEP MAKING THESE CORBIN MATCHES SO LONG????????

[Emperor Smeat]

It looked more like a mall than backstage.
Yeah, thought it was backstage at first but turns out it was somewhere else after a quick check.

[Dark One]

You know, a three segment Baron Corbin vs Roman Reigns match isn't really locking me into Raw.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Right

[Anybody Thrilla]

Now 205 Live...there is a good show.

[ClockShot]

I can't get behind "Constable" Corbin in that get-up.

Is there some sort of Kickstarter or GoFundMe going to get him Big Boss Man ring attire?

I'd contribute to that.

[Dark One]

I've been watching dudes murder each other for two weeks in the G1. I've saw a dude's lip explode from a lariat and saw some murder-death-kill type shit.

I don't think I'm going to make it through a 30 minute Roman/Corbin segment.

Save me ABT

[Emperor Smeat]

WHY DO THEY KEEP MAKING THESE CORBIN MATCHES SO LONG????????

Very simple explanation for this. Do you like Corbin?

If yes, WWE is giving you more air time for one of your favorite wrestlers.

If no, WWE is tormenting you for all the times you bad mouthed them or their shows online.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Corbin looks like a stretched out Joey Mercury in that gear.

[Dark One]

Corbin looks like a stretched out Joey Mercury in that gear.

Hey, listen man, that ladder uppercut him really fucking hard.

Well, I mean, 205 Live, NXT, Lucha Underground, Smackdown, and Impact are all currently better shows than Raw, so I'm not really sure how to hep here. Unless you like Liv Morgan's cute walk as m--

How do I watch the G1?

MAN DOWN!

The Alicia Fox highlights and Alicia Fox vs Ronda Rousey should be the highlight of the entire night

Uh, Braun's gonna flip a stage.....supposedly. That's always must see tv.

[ClockShot]

Go away, Balor.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Please don't mention those spoilers "out loud".

[KIRA]

The only good side I see about this whole Roman Reigns Baron Corbin thing is the same thing I thought about Jinder Mahal in Roman Reigns and least they're running through my nightmare scenarios right off the bat it can only go up from here. Or they could just you know repeat the matches over and over

[ClockShot]

Kevin Dunn: "GET THAT "I CAME TO SEE ROMAN!" SIGN IN THE SHOT"

How do I watch the G1?

There's probably some free matches/nights on njpwworld.com but for the most part you have to be a subscriber. Like the Network, it's like $9-10/mo (whatever 999 Yen equates to at the beginning of the month). I'm sure there are other "methods" in the usual spots.

The Amazon Fire TV app and the web player both are pretty hit or miss as far as playing back smoothly, but after a bit, I've kind of gotten a feel for how to get it to cooperate.

It's crazy how much I'm willing to put up with to actually watch the product on nights the player isn't working worth a shit.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Corbin telegraphing the last Superman punch way too much.

[Anybody Thrilla]

That chick just faked Roman on the handshake, that was tight. :y:

[Dark One]

30 minutes of Corbin/Roman ended with Corbin trying to walk out, getting backed off by Finn Balor, and then walking into a spear?

I AM SHOCKED

[Anybody Thrilla]

What's babyface about Balor attacking Corbin after a grueling match?

[Anybody Thrilla]

I can't tell if I really like Mojo Rawley, or if it's some sort of Stockholm Syndrome thing.

[Emperor Smeat]

Roode-Mojo match next ... is WWE trying to set some sort of record for most half-assed or terrible hour in RAW history.

[KIRA]

It's saying something at the best Roman Reigns response all year has been tepid pitiful scattering of Applause and cheers

[KIRA]

Roode-Mojo match next ... is WWE trying to set some sort of record for most half-assed or terrible hour in RAW history.

S*** I forgot they can still get us with Mojo Rawley versus Roman Reigns


Just typing that made me want to die

[xrodmuc316]

How is Corbin getting all these 25 minute matches of all people.

This is the dude in NXT that the crowd used to count the seconds his matches took lol

[KIRA]

ABT check your messages

[Anybody Thrilla]

Good look, KIRA :y:

[Anybody Thrilla]

Rollins v. McIntyre again, but Dolph is banned?

[xrodmuc316]

S*** I forgot they can still get us with Mojo Rawley versus Roman Reigns


Just typing that made me want to die

I gotta admit, I do love the way Mojo says his own.

Mo
Jo
Raaaaaley

[Anybody Thrilla]

Bonus points if Seth's partner is a returning Ambrose.

Negative points if we get another Roman match.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Mojo really isn't that bad. Much better as a heel.

Speaking of which, maybe he'll go over in this mini-feud and it'll spark something in Roode to ALSO turn heel.

[Emperor Smeat]

It's saying something at the best Roman Reigns response all year has been tepid pitiful scattering of Applause and cheers

Still funny that WWE got cold feet on coronating Reigns at Mania in order to do it at a more pro-WWE/Reigns crowd overseas and he still got mixed reactions at best. Even worse, they still got cold feet on giving him the title there as well.

[KIRA]

"Kurt Angle has did a really good job making matches tonight"

I'm so tired of this company lying to our faces

[KIRA]

Just you wait eventually they're going to just hold everything in Jacksonville theyre going to be more stationary than IMPACT wrestling.

[KIRA]

I gotta admit, I do love the way Mojo says his own.

Mo
Jo
Raaaaaley

Statistically I suppose somebody has to

[ClockShot]

Don't know if it's this match or the humidity putting me to sleep right now.

[Dark One]

Just you wait eventually they're going to just hold everything in Jacksonville theyre going to be more stationary than IMPACT wrestling.

Nah, the ultimate goal is to finally have Roman's coronation on the moon.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Will my Survivor be out tonight?

[KIRA]

I've been watching dudes murder each other for two weeks in the G1. I've saw a dude's lip explode from a lariat and saw some murder-death-kill type shit.

I don't think I'm going to make it through a 30 minute Roman/Corbin segment.

Save me ABT

It's like going from eating veal to eating soggy cornflakes how do you do it ?

[slik]

turn on RAW finally and it's boring bobby vs dreadful mojo

I'll check in later...

[KIRA]

Did Roode just scream nooooooo when he kicked out what the hell was that

[Anybody Thrilla]

Well. None of that was good. Mojo "needed" that win.

[Dark One]

The first hour of Raw:

Baron Corbin vs. Roman Reigns
Bobby Roode vs. Mojo Rawley

The fuck did I do to them

[KIRA]

Again whoever made Bobby Roode a aface and thought it was a good idea needs to be killed House Bolton Style

[Emperor Smeat]

Finally something great is going to happen on RAW. Wonder which musical masterpiece Elias will sing tonight.

[slik]

The Alicia Fox highlights and Alicia Fox vs Ronda Rousey should be the highlight of the entire night

Probably

@STD -- Yeah, it's live. Fightful usually posts the rundown of the entire show before it airs each week via having good sources

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Lio Rush will carry on the STD Survivor Banner.

TOPANGA!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Lio Rush will carry on the STD Survivor Banner.

TOPANGA!

Lio has been great on 205 Live. Really owning the character.

[KIRA]

I would say they should team Paul Heyman up with Elias but he doesn't need it it just would be really fun to see Paul Heyman as his publicist and Elias walking around convinced he's this huge musical prodigy. I mean he is a musical prodigy but just to have that translate properly on screen with the likes of Paul Heyman in tow

[Anybody Thrilla]

Remember how hot that Elias/Rollins feud was? What happened there?

[xrodmuc316]

Mojo really isn't that bad. Much better as a heel.

Speaking of which, maybe he'll go over in this mini-feud and it'll spark something in Roode to ALSO turn heel.

I think WWE refuses to turn babyfaces heel of they know fans will like them more as heels.

Better Bobby get midcard face reactions as a face than main event babyface reactions as a heel.I

WWE really needs to turn some of these guys though, assuming Reigns or Strowman end up champ at Summerslam they need better heels to fight than Jinder and Corbin.

K.O. can only carry the heels so much.

Elias is great, but I think they are going the other way with him, the guy is too over for Vince not to be salivating at the idea of booking him towards a face run.

[KIRA]

Remember how hot that Elias/Rollins feud was? What happened there?

It was too good so the company had to stop it.

[slik]

I concur on Lio Rush

Loads of potential -- sadly, I don't think we'll ever see him on RAW. The Cruisers are all but forgotten on RAW and SD.

Here's the thing about people like Elias some heels just make better faces as heels if that makes sense.

[Shisen Kopf]

I agree with Elias about Jacksonville

[ClockShot]

Poor Bubby.

A few weeks ago he was in the main event scene.

Now, knocked down a few pegs.

[KIRA]

I can't wait till Elias makes his Metallica S&M style double album

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It was too good so the company had to stop it.

They both look alike but Elias is way buffer. He was making the Kingslayer look bad.

[xrodmuc316]

Statistically I suppose somebody has to

Don't like much else, but the dude says his name good lol

[Anybody Thrilla]

I really want to like Lashley, but then they let him talk.

[ClockShot]

Did Bob trade in the headband for a generic hat?

[KIRA]

Wow even Jacksonville doesn't like Jacksonville I understand though.

[ClockShot]

I would have cracked him over the skull with the guitar.

[KIRA]

Elias and Bobby Lashley are going to do an acoustic version of en vogue "Don't Let Go"

[Emperor Smeat]

I concur on Lio Rush

Loads of potential -- sadly, I don't think we'll ever see him on RAW. The Cruisers are all but forgotten on RAW and SD.

Probably for the best considering most of the time they were just in throw away segments or rarely treated as something important to watch. Even when a Cruiser match randomly showed up a while ago, still got the piss break type treatment.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Wow, so they just flat out mention that it won't be Ambrose? Or does that mean that it actually WILL be Ambrose?

[KIRA]

My fondest wish aside from Mojo Rawley being hit by a truck is for Bobby Lashley to go home after every single show and watch his promos back and just think how can I make myself better

[slik]

This might be the least interesting SummerSlam card in ages so far

[Emperor Smeat]

Outline of Seth's mystery partner photo sort of looks like the Miz.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I concur on Lio Rush

Loads of potential -- sadly, I don't think we'll ever see him on RAW. The Cruisers are all but forgotten on RAW and SD.

That's fine. Keep him on 205 Live. It's becoming a viable brand.

[Anybody Thrilla]

This might be the least interesting SummerSlam card in ages so far

I was definitely just thinking that.

[KIRA]

Why doesn't lashley just use the Dominator again

[KIRA]

Alicia Fox is the greatest gift to the women's division ever

[Emperor Smeat]

Wow, so they just flat out mention that it won't be Ambrose? Or does that mean that it actually WILL be Ambrose?

If the sheets are correct, he's not coming back till next month.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I fucking hate this show.

[rez]

FUCK

[Anybody Thrilla]

If the sheets are correct, he's not coming back till next month.

That's what I heard too, but what's the point of even mentioning him?

[ClockShot]

I'm running out of patience with Dana Brooke.

Either watch Stacy Keibler in WCW and dress up as a sexy secretary.

Or drop the act altogether.

[KIRA]

I f****** hate Vince McMahon why couldn't it be Tyler Breeze

[xrodmuc316]

Here's the thing about people like Elias some heels just make better faces as heels if that makes sense.

It does, people like say, Bobby Roode 😁

[Anybody Thrilla]

I seriously am having a difficult time staying awake.

[Emperor Smeat]

Rezar needs an Arn Anderson style spine buster if he wants it to be his finisher.

His current one looks more like a lazy chokeslam.

[Anybody Thrilla]

NXT should be dope, though.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Rezar needs an Arn Anderson style spine buster if he wants it to be his finisher.

His current one looks more like a lazy chokeslam.

He shouldn't be worried about a singles finisher. The Titus Worldwide feud SHOULD have been a one-off TAG TEAM MATCH where the AOP destroyed the fuck out of them.

I fucking HATE this show.

[Emperor Smeat]

That's what I heard too, but what's the point of even mentioning him?

So people don't booo when its revealed to be Reigns instead tonight?

A lot of things WWE does for RAW barely makes any sense even going by wrestling logic.

[Anybody Thrilla]

The in-house crowd wouldn't have heard them mention Ambrose.

[KIRA]

NXT currently has possibly their greatest world champion ever just him by himself is enough to watch.

[ClockShot]

Ah.

Backup plan in place if Vince doesn't want Braun as champ yet.

Smart...……..and stupid.

[Dark One]

Hello darkness my old friend

[Anybody Thrilla]

Are they trolling DDP right now?

[Dark One]

Mahal Yoga is the truth, I guess.

[Emperor Smeat]

Missed opportunity to not bring back the KO Show sign guy for this segment.

http://stillrealtous.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/kevinowens-2.jpg

[Dark One]

Are they trolling DDP right now?

TO BE FAIR, it feels like they're trolling everyone every second of this show.

[GD]

Owens not letting Jinder speak at all :lol:

[ClockShot]

BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

[KIRA]

So what's the story with Jinder's sudden shift because at first he was a rich guy did he lose all his money after he got knocked back down the card and had to become this feckless hippie

[Anybody Thrilla]

A friend of mine in jail called me a few months ago and told me that he was somehow able to watch Raw in there. Knowing this, Brian Christopher makes a lot more sense.

[Dark One]

So what's the story with Jinder's sudden shift because at first he was a rich guy did he lose all his money after he got knocked back down the card and had to become this feckless hippie

They forgot.

People don't really have characters any more. They have a "what do we need this person to do in this one segment tonight"

[Dark One]

A friend of mine in jail called me a few months ago and told me that he was somehow able to watch Raw in there. Knowing this, Brian Christopher makes a lot more sense.


This is as cold as some of my advice after deaths in Casual.

Which means this is 100% accurate.

[KIRA]

How many matches has the show had I've been so out of it I didn't keep count

[Emperor Smeat]

So what's the story with Jinder's sudden shift because at first he was a rich guy did he lose all his money after he got knocked back down the card and had to become this feckless hippie

Maybe he's embarrassed he listened to Big Show and Ric Flair for financial advice or like Dark One mentioned, WWE forgot what Jinder's gimmick was supposed to be.

[Anybody Thrilla]

How many matches has the show had I've been so out of it I didn't keep count

Corbin v. Reigns
Rawley v. Roode
Rezar v. Titus
And now Jinder v. Braun

Fucking yikes.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Mahal wins by DQ, so he lobbies to get added to the Summerslam match.

Please fucking tell me that doesn't happen.

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Jinder beat Braun.

[Dark One]

Jesus Christ.

[Anybody Thrilla]

:eek: Jinder beat Braun.

Two weeks in a row now. That's why I'm scared he'll get added to the Summerslam match.

[Dark One]

Well, Braun's losing all of his matches

So given historical patterns, he'll cash in and become champion at Summerslam.

[Anybody Thrilla]

"Hey guys, we know you like Braun, but also remember that he is sort of an idiot. Now, GET THESE (styrofoam) HANDS, only at WWE Shop Dot Com!"

[Poit]

Wait, did Braun get DQed for using a weapon on someone not in the match?

What the fuck is this show?

[Dark One]

So people don't booo when its revealed to be Reigns instead tonight?

A lot of things WWE does for RAW barely makes any sense even going by wrestling logic.

Oh for fuck's sake

[Anybody Thrilla]

Steph with the long distance ball cutting. More like Steph Curry, am I right?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Wait, did Braun get DQed for using a weapon on someone not in the match?

What the fuck is this show?

He used it on Jinder, but still a valid second question.

[Dark One]

"Since Wrestlemania 31, Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar have been fighting over the world championship"

https://media.giphy.com/media/iCaTJzIdqMqre/giphy.gif

[Dark One]

I had to watch Roman Reigns wrestle Baron Corbin for 30 fucking minutes earlier.

Tell me this is just some bullshit redirection or something. If it's not, I'm legit tapping out.

[KIRA]

Corbin v. Reigns
Rawley v. Roode
Rezar v. Titus
And now Jinder v. Braun

Fucking yikes.

It's amazing NXT is an hour long and when it's over it feels complete this show is three God damn hours and I feel like it's all just wasted time.

[Emperor Smeat]

Kind of want Owens to actually be successful in stealing the MitB case or even anyone else in general since that would be such a great twist for the usual MitB routine.

The old Hardcore title was pretty much worthless in prestige but the 24/7 Rules and Crash's reign made for some great TV back in the day.

[owenbrown]

Wait, did Braun get DQed for using a weapon on someone not in the match?

What the fuck is this show?

this is why I opted to play Fortnite instead of watch Raw, glad to see I haven't missed anything.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Oh fuck yeah, a Roman interview!

[slik]

Wait, did Braun get DQed for using a weapon on someone not in the match?

What the fuck is this show?

Not regretting tuning back out at this juncture

[Poit]

He used it on Jinder, but still a valid second question.

Ah, thanks. In my half-watching while cleaning, I thought he hit Owens.

[Anybody Thrilla]

That WM31 match was actually good. What happened?

[Anybody Thrilla]

That cage bump really was kinda crazy.

[Emperor Smeat]

For a company that likes to taunt their social media dominance, it doesn't translate at all for viewership or revenues.

[KIRA]

Oh fuck yeah, a Roman interview!

I don't have any smart mouth commentary I just feel dead inside

[Dark One]

Can't wait for the ONCE IN A LIFETIME Brock vs Roman Ironman Match on the moon in 2023 which will end in a tie and Brock retaining.

[KIRA]

Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns the story Saga that nobody asked for repeatedly.

[Emperor Smeat]

Can't wait for the ONCE IN A LIFETIME Brock vs Roman Ironman Match on the moon in 2023 which will end in a tie and Brock retaining.

Followed by Bret Hart venting online and rating the match a 4/10 since he's still pissed his Iron Man match had to be restarted.

[KIRA]

Roman says he's going to do what the WWE Universe has been waiting for for over a year does that mean he's going to stop showing up? oh wait it's the exact opposite..... yay

[Sepholio]

I would be more interested in Brock/Roman if they were feuding over exclusive rights to their steroid supplier instead of the Universal title.

[Dark One]

I had to watch Roman Reigns wrestle Baron Corbin for 30 fucking minutes earlier.

Tell me this is just some bullshit redirection or something. If it's not, I'm legit tapping out.

Oh thank god.

[Emperor Smeat]

Would laugh if Tyler Breeze suddenly showed up to be Rollins partner

[rez]

Corbin saves the day

[Dark One]

That Roman is fun. If they just did that instead of all this other "I'M BEING BONED" posturing, maybe I'd want to die less.

[Dark One]

Finn vs Corbin at Summerslam again.

Okay. THIS TIME IT'S FOR REAL

[Anybody Thrilla]

Makes sense for Finn to show up at Seth's partner here, right? If that's the plan, what's taking him so long?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Drew's tag was illegal. He wasn't holding the tag rope.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Hm. That's it?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Remember when Rollins was the hottest act on Raw? What happened?

[xrodmuc316]

NXT currently has possibly their greatest world champion ever just him by himself is enough to watch.

He is awesome, but for me it's still K.O. The way he won it, that he went to Raw with it, that he beat Ben's with it.

Granted, we are only a week in, and I think Ciampa certainly has a chance to elevate there.

[Dark One]

Hm. That's it?

https://i.imgur.com/ssby9sH.gif

[Emperor Smeat]

So the point of this match was showing that Rollins is a dumbass for not going back to get Breeze as his tag partner?

[Dark One]

Remember when Rollins was the hottest act on Raw? What happened?


https://i.imgur.com/ssby9sH.gif

[Anybody Thrilla]

I thought the B Team theme could lighten up, but this is...well, fuck this show entirely, is what I'm saying.

[Dark One]

I mean...

It's not like their previous music really fit them... but what the fuck is this.

[Dark One]

Where am I

What did I do to end up in purgatory

Hello

Help

[Emperor Smeat]

Holy shit B Team's new theme is terrible.

Remember when Rollins was the hottest act on Raw? What happened?

Like everything else that gets hot organically, WWE either gets petty or never bothers to run with it since they never had any plans to ever do so.

[Anybody Thrilla]

This B Team theme could have easily been the Spirit Squad theme.

[KIRA]

And yet you continue to treat this tremendous athlete like an afterthought f*** this company Alicia is gold

[Emperor Smeat]

After listening to B Team's theme more, wouldn't be surprised if the inspiration for the vocals came from the Velveteen Dream's theme. Vocal pitch sounds similar to Dream's.

[Anybody Thrilla]

The Revival has new trunks almost every week. I guess they're expecting something.

I also heard someone say "we gotta go, come on", so I don't expect this to be very long.

[Anybody Thrilla]

"One day will be future champs"

Why not just say "are future champs"?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Oh my god fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk thisssssssssssssssssssssssssss

"He grabbed Heyman's face in a vicious, rebellious way."

HAS ANYONE THERE EVER HEARD A HUMAN BEING SPEAK?

"He grabbed Heyman's face in a vicious, rebellious way."

HAS ANYONE THERE EVER HEARD A HUMAN BEING SPEAK?

Remember when they used to broadcast PPVs on the radio? I wonder how that would go now.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Heyman is very good.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Renee Young. Also very good.

[Emperor Smeat]

"He grabbed Heyman's face in a vicious, rebellious way."

HAS ANYONE THERE EVER HEARD A HUMAN BEING SPEAK?

Even saying "He grabbed Heyman to make fishy faces" would have sounded less dumb

[slik]

Paul Heyman is 100% turning on Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam.

[Dark One]

Probably should have canceled everything else on this show and just played Heyman's interview/promo over and over for three hours.

[Emperor Smeat]

Heyman's face right now is my reaction to watching tonight's RAW so far

[KIRA]

Jesus Christ I feel bad for Paul Heyman damn him he's good

[KIRA]

Probably should have canceled everything else on this show and just played Heyman's interview/promo over and over for three hours.

Everything except Alicia and Ronda Rousey yes

[Poit]

#BROKEN Paul Heyman

[A.J.K]

I'd be down with the setup of Heyman managing Strowman.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Great business from Heyman there. Kinda shocked they didn't pop up the WWE Shop logo at any point during it.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Heyman's promo brought this Raw up from an F- to a solid F.

[slik]

Oh nice AJR doing the SummerSlam theme

[Dark One]

If this is the show two weeks before Summerslam, I can only assume next week will be 3 hours of the Summerslam commercial on repeat.

[Dark One]

Heyman is very good.

"VIOLENT" sliding across the screen

[A.J.K]

Coach botched big time.

He said Jeff Hardy against the Challenger Nakamura.

WAIT A SECOND

ABT

DID WE GET THE OLD THEME BACK?

[slik]

Cole also said Ronda would make her RAW debut before wrestling Ronda at SummerSlam

[Dark One]

Cole also said Ronda would make her RAW debut before wrestling Ronda at SummerSlam

Oh fuck

If they have that technology, we're 100% getting Roman vs Roman at Wrestlemania.

[Emperor Smeat]

With the constant barrage of "get ___ for free" offers for the Network, wonder how much money WWE has flushed down the toilet in lost revenues.

Should just follow the Netflix model of 1st month is always free instead of coming off as being that desperate for subs to inflate Network numbers.

[Anybody Thrilla]

WAIT A SECOND

ABT

DID WE GET THE OLD THEME BACK?

I've been struggling with this. They played the new theme on the initial entrance, then they played the old theme coming back from commercial.

[Anybody Thrilla]

No mention of the Evolution PPV so far.

[xrodmuc316]

2 female matches in a row to end Raw? Already starting to condition us for the all female PPV

[Dark One]

No mention of the Evolution PPV so far.

Doesn't involve Roman. No time.

[KIRA]

I really hope that this team is just a ruse by Bailey to get Sasha to lower her defenses because it's giving me diabetes

[slik]

Sarah Loki Logan

[Emperor Smeat]

No mention of the Evolution PPV so far.

Either WWE forgot about it or they suddenly became self-aware of the way they were handling it was coming off as insincere and just blatant PR.

[Dark One]

We both know only one of those is possible.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Crazy how annoying Liv Morgan was to me in NXT and how much I kinda love her now.

[A.J.K]

Ruby!!!!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Sarah Logan with dukes over Ember Moon and Sasha Banks. That's what's up. :y:

[xrodmuc316]

The mere sight of Ruby's hook nose made Sasha forget how to kickout!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Welcome back, Ruby!

Also, I think the new Riott Squad theme still has the OLD theme in the middle of it. Like they just start it from a different place in the full son now. Like "Metalingus" for Edge. It starts differently if you listen to it as a song and not a theme.

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: Wooby Wiott being back.

[KIRA]

Alicia Fox is in the main event Ye BITCHES!

[Emperor Smeat]

Nice of Alicia Fox to allow Ronda Rousey to be in her main event hype video.

[xrodmuc316]

How awesome would it be if Fox just went Goldberg on Ronda like at Survivor Series. Would be so classic!

[Sepholio]

How awesome would it be if Fox just went Goldberg on Ronda like at Survivor Series. Would be so classic!

If only.

[Dark One]

Alicia didn't even get an entrance... despite being in an entrance.

[xrodmuc316]

Wow WWE, are you fucking serious??

Fox been there 10 years, gets to main event Raw, and doesn't even get to come out to her own music??

[Emperor Smeat]

With the amount of time wasting going on, this match is going to be like 1-2 minutes long at best.

[Dark One]

No mention of the Evolution PPV so far.

FIXED

[Anybody Thrilla]

Wow WWE, are you fucking serious??

Fox been there 10 years, gets to main event Raw, and doesn't even get to come out to her own music??

In fairness, her music is fucking shitty.

[KIRA]

Son of a b**** somebody shut Alexa Bliss the f****** up and get her out of the ring so we can get this going

[slik]

Alexa randomly not a heel for a minute

[KIRA]

It's a God damn crime how they treat Fox

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'd like to butter that biscuit butt.

[Emperor Smeat]

Why was the ref blocking Fox from attacking Ronda?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Ronda pulls at her gear a lot. It's distracting.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Cole also just said "Bliss tapped". Fox gets NO respect.

[slik]

Ronda seems like she is 'getting too rough' w/ Alicia Fox

[Anybody Thrilla]

Charly Caruso, so beautiful.

Also, Natalya is a shit friend. She should have cut Bliss off.

[KIRA]

I'm just happy that Alicia got to be in the main event this company sucks so small victories. this whole night was just bollocks

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'll grade that Raw an F+, bolstered only by Paul Heyman and The Riott Squad.

[slik]

Ronda does have that undeniable x-factor where she is fascinating to watch (same thing Brock had/has)

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm just happy that Alicia got to be in the main event this company sucks so small victories. this whole night was just bollocks

She didn't get her own entrance, and Cole even said "BLISS TAPS!" when she tapped, so SUPER small victory.

[slik]

only 6 pgs for RAW

Time for SDLive to take it's rightful place as the A-Show once more tomorrow at TPWW

[Anybody Thrilla]

Ronda does have that undeniable x-factor where she is fascinating to watch (same thing Brock had/has)

Yeah, I like her.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ronda seems like she is 'getting too rough' w/ Alicia Fox
Yeah it seems she still rushes her moves. Could just be nerves or her lack of experience showing.

Also think her aura is going to slowly fall apart once she has to start doing longer matches or play a lot more of the "face in peril" role. RAW doesn't have enough female stars, especially heels, that can carry her in matches.

[Jordan]

I caught the last half hour, truly horrible. I watched with my Mom because we used to watch all of Rousey’s fights together. It was embarrassing for both of us.

[GD]

Alicia Fox main evented Monday Night RAW in 2018.
