Raw Thread - 9/10/18 - Rousey & Natalya v. Fox & Bliss, Renee joins the table full time, Triple H, Mick Foley

[KIRA]

Somebody let me know these days going to Raw does it feel like you've watched no wrestling at all because that's how it comes off on television

[Lock Jaw]

B team had an amazing music but they changed it. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

It's like they were all "Wait a second, this song is too good for these guys, they are supposed to be jokes!"

[KIRA]

B Team's theme is like a 15 second song on constant loop. Might be the laziest theme ever done in WWE history.

They are fools for getting rid of scars that was a great thing for the team

[Jordan]

B-Team are up there with The Hart Foundation and The Hardy Boys for the best TAG TEAM EVER.

[Lock Jaw]

Somebody let me know these days going to Raw does it feel like you've watched no wrestling at all because that's how it comes off on television

Usually there is at least one good match on RAW (hopefully).....

Still, I would feel "disappointed" if a RAW taping came to town and not a Smackdown one.

[KIRA]

It's like they were all "Wait a second, this song is too good for these guys, they are supposed to be jokes!"

Which is weird because it first I assumed that them having scars as a theme song was part of the joke and it still could have been but the writers aren't that smart and have no sense of subtlety

[Emperor Smeat]

Took only 3 appearances before Graves started bickering with Renee on commentary

[Jordan]

Usually there is at least one good match on RAW (hopefully).....

Still, I would feel "disappointed" if a RAW taping came to town and not a Smackdown one.

I would feel like I've wasted money going to a Raw tbh. I may go to the Raw after Mania though.

[RP]

I'd swallow Alexa's aborted babies if she asked me too.

[RP]

I'm done. I gotta go to bed now. Lata

[KIRA]

The dogs of war...... The hounds of Justice..... This company has clearly run out of ideas

[Lock Jaw]

Alex/Mickie/Fox should be called The Puppies of Power

[KIRA]

Took only 3 appearances before Graves started bickering with Renee on commentary

You know damn it I was convinced he wouldn't try it with her
I wonder if she now understands the suffering of being out here for 3 hours on this show

[Arrogance]

Titanic Sporting Entertainment.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Somebody let me know these days going to Raw does it feel like you've watched no wrestling at all because that's how it comes off on television

When I went, there was like one good tag match, and the rest was a waste of everything.

[KIRA]

This whole night has been dedicated to tag teams
But somehow no actual tag teams save the B Team

[Lock Jaw]

The RAW house show I went to last year was fun. Probably because it actually had wrestling and only talking from people who were good at it (Miz/Elias)

Weird at how going to a RAW house show is guaranteed to be better than going to a RAW taping

[KIRA]

When I went, there was like one good tag match, and the rest was a waste of everything.

I don't understand why their attendance numbers aren't in the toilet I mean people watch the show from home know what they're getting when this company rolls into town

[slik]

Stopped to do laundry instead of watching HHH promo...seems like I didn't really miss much

[KIRA]

The RAW house show I went to last year was fun. Probably because it actually had wrestling and only talking from people who were good at it (Miz/Elias)

I imagine house shows have a good vibe

[Anybody Thrilla]

So if they take off the tactical gear, are they technically NOT the Shield anymore?

[Lock Jaw]

Ambrose and Rollins are here!

But not The Shield! (Because they aren't in their tactical gear)

Loophole!!!

[Lock Jaw]

Forgot Rollins had a title

[Anybody Thrilla]

To be fair, my friend found $600 in the bathroom at the last Raw we went to, so that was worth it.

[Lock Jaw]

Universal Title also hasn't been on the show last week or this week yet.....

[rez]

thought about getting 2k19 next month. Is Sting not in it?

[Lock Jaw]

Also had a nightmare that it was Undertaker vs. Mankind at the Hell in a Cell, only instead of Jim Ross yelling "AS GOD AS MY WITNESS, HE IS BROKEN IN HALF!!" it was Mauro Ranallo screaming "MAMMA MIA!!!!! MAAAAAAMMMMMAAAA MMMMMIIIIAAAAA!!!!"

[KIRA]

You've only seen it like 5 billion times

[Emperor Smeat]

JR's call on Foley's fall from the Cell is one of the best ever in WWE history. If they tried that today with Cole's style of delivery, wouldn't be anywhere as memorable.

[slik]

This RAW has been sort of boring outside of the beginning of the show

[Dark One]

Meanwhile, 20 years later, Joey Janela takes a Burning Hammer through a ladder and then a piledriver through a table from the top of a ladder.

[Dark One]

JR's call on Foley's fall from the Cell is one of the best ever in WWE history. If they tried that today with Cole's style of delivery, wouldn't be anywhere as memorable.

"oh my... IS it? Could it be? It is. Mick Foley. Is broken in half. #HIACBrokenInHalf to discuss"

[KIRA]

Isn't it kind of a bad idea to show your greatest Hell in a Cell ever going into what will arguably be kind of meh in comparison

[slik]

thumbtacks

[Emperor Smeat]

Universal Title also hasn't been on the show last week or this week yet.....
To be fair, Reigns only promised to be around each week as champ and not actually defend the belt. For the latter to happen, WWE would need to remember more than a few weeks ago about why they were trashing Lesnar as champ.

[Jordan]

That match... still sends chills through my body.

[Anybody Thrilla]

It seemed like Michael Cole was just as confused about Kevin Owens as we all are.

"Well we thought Kevin Owens had quit...

...

......

........

...but, uh, Bobby Lashley!"

[Lock Jaw]

"MAMMA MIAAAA!!! Mick Foley is as broken as [pop culture reference]!"

[Emperor Smeat]

"oh my... IS it? Could it be? It is. Mick Foley. Is broken in half. #HIACBrokenInHalf to discuss"

Add in some bickering between Coachman and Graves along with Coachman's random word of the hour and it would be perfect.

[KIRA]

To be fair, my friend found $600 in the bathroom at the last Raw we went to, so that was worth it.

You didn't ask him to split it with you you are a good person

[Dark One]

It seemed like Michael Cole was just as confused about Kevin Owens as we all are.

"Well we thought Kevin Owens had quit...

...

......

........

...but, uh, Bobby Lashley!"

Would really love for Cole to just lose it some night and just go "Fuck if I know" to a situation like this.

[Lock Jaw]

Would really love for Cole to just lose it some night and just go "Fuck if I know" to a situation like this.

See: NXT Season 3

[Dark One]

Add in some bickering between Coachman and Graves along with Coachman's random word of the hour and it would be perfect.

"My word of the hour for this unbelievable situation is 'chiropractor' because Mick Foley is going to need an adjustment after this."
"Shut your mouth, Coach! He's going to need a hearse."

[KIRA]

Oh my God we're only like 30 something minutes into the second hour

[Dark One]

[rez]

Fuck it. Just bought 2K18 for the Switch..14 dollars lol.

[KIRA]

Mankind vs taker at Hell in a Cell back when Jerry Lawler actually cared Jr's voice was music to our ears and Triple H didn't hold a title of any importance to terrify us for years to come

[Lock Jaw]

So.......... what logical reason would the Sheriff arrest Baron Corbin?

[KIRA]

It has finally happened Roman has and it just to drag the shield down with him

[Lock Jaw]

Oh, I get it, the cop's name is "Ambrose"

[Anybody Thrilla]

You didn't ask him to split it with you you are a good person

Her...and she bought my ticket and some drinks.

[Lock Jaw]

CROOKED COP

[rez]

The Shield are like anti blue lives matter

[rez]

or not helping that cause. lol

[KIRA]

That officer is not very good at his job anybody with two eyes could tell that something's amiss between those two

[slik]

Whew, this episode is weird

[Lock Jaw]

RIP Tyler Breeze

He can join Fandango in Heaven

[Jordan]

I love Tyler Breeze's entrance theme.

[KIRA]

Her...and she bought my ticket and some drinks.

That's a bogus story men and women can't be friends everybody knows that

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Owens walkout and sudden return getting some actual backstory.

[rez]

sigh. bad writing is bad writing

[Anybody Thrilla]

OK, it has been explained. Thank you.

[KIRA]

And thus Tyler Breeze has obtained his exit back to NXT where he belongs I mean that as a compliment also wow they had Kevin Owens Stand in the ring while they did that backstage segment

[slik]

Why was the sheriff going to arrest Baron, I don't get it

Like I get he was 'G Ambrose' but what reason did they say

[Lock Jaw]

Every week I forget Bobby Lashley exists until he shows up or gets mentioned

[Dark One]

Well, that's a hell of a stretch to get there, but at least they got to an explanation of SOME kind.

[KIRA]

I really love vicious I'm just being an asshole to feed my family Owens

[Emperor Smeat]

I already get agony watching RAW weekly but some extra anarchy and destruction would be a nice change of pace. It was really fun when Braun used to wreck havoc all over the place on RAW.

[slik]

Lashley cyberbullied KO to quit RAW

[KIRA]

Kevin Owens the rogue agent I love it except it's not on Smackdown it's on Raw so they're going to ruin the idea

[rez]

had a funeral today...in no way saying RAW compares to that but this show makes me wonder how 6 ft under feels.

[Emperor Smeat]

I really need to get a robe as glorious looking as the one Roode is wearing.

[xrodmuc316]

See: NXT Season 3

Heel Cole was awesome

[KIRA]

had a funeral today...in no way saying RAW compares to that but this show makes me wonder how 6 ft under feels.

It may not feel like a funeral but there's no denying the air of Death March about this show

[Lock Jaw]

Gloriously Gable screams of "we have nothing else for you"

[Evil Vito]

How much do you wanna bet Roode and Gable are facing The Ascension again, who they’ve already beaten

[Evil Vito]

Wonder if Poit still has a crush on Chad Gable

[xrodmuc316]

Fuck it. Just bought 2K18 for the Switch..14 dollars lol.

Is it still unplayable?

[Lock Jaw]

Is there another team on RAW for them to face?

[KIRA]

I really need to get a robe as glorious looking as the one Roode is wearing.

That would be my walking around the house answering the door robe and every time is the door yes I do a little spin so you can see the Glorious on the back

[Lock Jaw]

Oh yeah, Ascension. Same as a jobber team I guess.

[KIRA]

You know who I miss Kurt angle's bastard

[Arrogance]

Sound.

[rez]

Is it still unplayable?

no clue. been craving a wrestling game for a while and that's like a 6 pack price.

[slik]

Oprah has discovered Paul Newman's secret

The real way to immortality is to own a frozen pizza brand b/c people will know your name forever now

[Evil Vito]

How much do you wanna bet Roode and Gable are facing The Ascension again, who they’ve already beaten

This company is hilariously lazy

[KIRA]

Meanwhile guys Lucha underground has this Bonkers fantastic storyline going where a guy gets brought back from the dead and reunited with his girlfriend thanks to a guy who can turn into a spaceship and fly and teleport out via electricity

And that guy is also friends with a fire breathing dragon who used to be in a stable full of reptiles

[rez]

no clue. been craving a wrestling game for a while and that's like a 6 pack price.

nevermind. sounds like it's still dog shit. not worth the price of my dog's shit. thanks, amazon for easy cancellations.

[Jordan]

Gah this show has given me a headache. I'll see you at HELL IN A CELL.

[xrodmuc316]

no clue. been craving a wrestling game for a while and that's like a 6 pack price.

It's the only game I ever returned. It's so bad they gave up and aren't even releasing 2K19 on Switch.

[slik]

what did Baron do that was illegal

[Lock Jaw]

Oh, ok..... Gable turning heel again.......

When obviously Bobby should be the heel.....

[Emperor Smeat]

Roode is soo turning on Gable in a few weeks which is going to be great since he desperately needs a heel turn to happen.

[KIRA]

Victor essentially has the same hair as Baron Corbin but for some reason it works for him where is all I wanted Baron Corbin to do was shave his head

[KIRA]

Oh, ok..... Gable turning heel again.......

When obviously Bobby should be the heel.....

Yeah this company

[Arrogance]

I wonder what happens on a minute by minute basis in wrestling.

[Lock Jaw]

Roode is soo turning on Gable in a few weeks which is going to be great since he desperately needs a heel turn to happen.

I hope so..... looks to me it is heading the other way

[Evil Vito]

So WWE decided the best way to get the babyface team of Roode and Gable over is to have them beat the same do-nothing team (The Ascension) they already cleanly defeated a week ago. That sure does a lot to build their momentum.

[KIRA]

Natalia getting ready to cover up the holes in Ronda Rousey's ring game

[xrodmuc316]

nevermind. sounds like it's still dog shit. not worth the price of my dog's shit. thanks, amazon for easy cancellations.

Lol glad you got out of it already. WWE Raw 2 from like 2003 is about 10 times better than the 2K18 Switch version.

Hell you can play the mobile WWE Mayhem game, it's free and way better.

[Lock Jaw]

I wonder when Bray Wyatt is gonna come back.... and if he is just gonna go back to randomly beating up a good guy and cutting cryptic promos before losing to them.....

Or if he will stay a good guy.....

[Emperor Smeat]

I hope so..... looks to me it is heading the other way

The glances Roode was making towards Gable makes me think its going with Roode as the heel but yeah could see WWE being that dumb and have Gable turn instead.

[Dark One]

Ooof.

[Emperor Smeat]

Was 2018 that terrible for tv in order for RAW to get a "Show of the Year" nomination?

[Dark One]

The glances Roode was making towards Gable makes me think its going with Roode as the heel but yeah could see WWE being that dumb and have Gable turn instead.

I mean, that is the new normal.

[Lock Jaw]

Was 2018 that terrible for tv in order for RAW to get a "Show of the Year" nomination?

No way that is a legit nomination

[Dark One]

Was 2018 that terrible for tv in order for RAW to get a "Show of the Year" nomination?

Nia Jax got a game changer of the year award.

I'm thinking these awards aren't legitimate.

[Evil Vito]

Big pop for Napoleonic Code

[KIRA]

If this stupid f****** award show actually meant anything for the game changer category I would ask where is Asuka

[Evil Vito]

BLISSSSSSSSSS

time to get lubed up

[Lock Jaw]

Nia Jax got a game changer of the year award.

I'm thinking these awards aren't legitimate.

She's not like most women. That's a game changer!

[Evil Vito]

You can bid on the shirt Alexa Bliss is wearing

Some dude is 100% busting a load into that

[Lock Jaw]

THE PUPPIES OF POWER!!!!

[Dark One]

RP currently pawning everything he owns to buy Alexa's shirt.

[rez]

Lol glad you got out of it already. WWE Raw 2 from like 2003 is about 10 times better than the 2K18 Switch version.

Hell you can play the mobile WWE Mayhem game, it's free and way better.

i always forget i bought a ps4 that's been collecting dust as long as RDR2 has been delayed. It any good on it?

[KIRA]

"Big dog hunting I think I know exactly what that means"

I never thought I'd say this but shut the hell up Graves

[xrodmuc316]

No way that is a legit nomination

They are E Networks awards, they mean nothing. They are like the Slammys lol

[KIRA]

Mein fuhrer Alicia Fox really isn't in this match what is wrong with this company

[Lock Jaw]

They could of auctioned the shirt for more to the pervs if Alexa kept it on and rassled and sweated in it

[xrodmuc316]

i always forget i bought a ps4 that's been collecting dust as long as RDR2 has been delayed. It any good on it?

Yeah, game is only horrible on Switch. PS4 and XBox One versions are fun.

[KIRA]

I remember they used to sell the women's bikinis signed God that was gross

[slik]

Mickie misses a superkick by about a foot, Natalya sells it

[KIRA]

Is Alicia supposed to be that one lady boss from Dead Rising you know the German oldish lady

[rez]

pretty good match so far. the women are the only good thing about RAW...kinda like the entirety of TNA for the most part.

[Emperor Smeat]

What kind of childhood did Ronda have if her mom was busting out armbars on her.

Wonder which armbar Ronda uses is on Jericho's 1004 moves list.

[slik]

this match is boring tbh

[Anybody Thrilla]

I've fallen asleep about six times. This shit sucks.

[Lock Jaw]

Ronda's ribs getting SEVERELY INJURED!!! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THIS SUNDAY NIGHT?!?!

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Ronda blatantly yelling out the spots to Mickie

[slik]

This is the first time they've really let anyone dominate Ronda in WWE

[Dark One]

I've fallen asleep about six times. This shit sucks.

I tried to warn you.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at that random kick by Alexa.

[rez]

nice kick, bliss!

[KIRA]

backup

[Lock Jaw]

HOW CAN RONDA POSSIBLY RECOVER IN SIX DAYS?!?!?!?!

[rez]

i'll defend anything brie or bliss

[slik]

Ronda overcomes the odds

[KIRA]

Ronda has hurt ribs Natalia has her fingers essentially digging into those ribs Ronda Rousey has no reaction

[slik]

This honestly is the most boring episode of RAW I think possibly ever

[rez]

This honestly is the most boring episode of RAW I think possibly ever

there's been so many bad it's impossible to put this at the top of suck.

[rez]

like Drew Brees could murder someone in downtown NO...Braun could skull fuck that guy and not get heat from the crowd.

[Emperor Smeat]

This is the first time they've really let anyone dominate Ronda in WWE

Probably the biggest issue with WWE's constant habit of squashes and/or beast-style booking since they rarely think long term and just randomly weaken the person in order to make challengers look credible.

[KIRA]

I can't tell if I'm hearing Batman yelling or Braun strowman

[Emperor Smeat]

Finally something amazing is going to happen on RAW tonight.

[Emperor Smeat]

Since Elias would never lie guess that means Drew Brees turned heel on the city of New Orleans.

Not even Foley displays good manners when Elias was about to provide a musical masterpiece tonight.

[slik]

Mic Foley has CENA NUFF of Elias

[rez]

oh...two NFL games. Rams or Raiders...which team will move again in the next 10 years

[rez]

bang bang

[rez]

Elias has the only decent looking full beard in the company.

[Dark One]

Did Mick not get the memo that promos are recited like a script and not given passionately any more?

[xrodmuc316]

oh...two NFL games. Rams or Raiders...which team will move again in the next 10 years

Raiders are going to Vegas I think in 2020

Edit:Yes, it is in 2020.

[rez]

Raiders are going to Vegas I think in 2020

yeah, that's a done deal whenever that thing is built. with their franchise history, who knows. could break their lease with vegas comps and move to Albuquerque

[xrodmuc316]

yeah, that's a done deal whenever that thing is built. with their franchise history, who knows. could break their lease with vegas comps and move to Albuquerque

Lol true.

They might even play somewhere else for a year, likely San Diego if they can't work with Oakland to stay for 2019.

[rez]

Young has to stay impartial and also cover her vagina? Fuck, Vince.

[Dark One]

Looks like they're trying to re-integrate 205 Live back into Raw in creative ways, which I can appreciate.

[Dark One]

Can't wait for Bobby Lashley's "MY MAN" shirt.

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Lio Rush on RAW.

Guess Vince and/or RAW Creative suddenly remembered the Cruiser division belongs to RAW.

[Anybody Thrilla]

WHAT THE FUCK IS ANY OF THIS

[Dark One]

WHAT THE FUCK IS ANY OF THIS

You knew what you were getting into.

[Savio]

Did Mick not get the memo that promos are recited like a script and not given passionately any more?

Lol did he do another pointless screaming promo.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why would a match with no rules need any sort of special ref?

[rez]

so...no dogs of war or shield. makes sense...really..

[Emperor Smeat]

So Braun's winning the title this weekend?

Will laugh if after all these years of trying to coronate Reigns as the next mega star, they end up cutting his star coronation reign really short.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Smackdown is fun. 205 Live is fun. NXT is fun. The Mae Young Classic is fun...

How is Raw so...not?

[rez]

braun and reigns have to have video game meters to call out their cartel

[Anybody Thrilla]

In better news, my fantasy team is leading 156.35 - 74.42

[Savio]

But you are down in King of the wrestling forum 2007 by 2 votes!

[Anybody Thrilla]

GOOD

[RP]

This show was a blood soaked turd. They could pay me the amount they pay there entire workers to eat a turd from Alexa Bliss's ass, in the middle of the ring. And it would get higher ratings.

( But lower ratings if it's not me eating that turd. )

[Lock Jaw]

Can't wait for Bobby Lashley's "MY MAN" shirt.

Feel like Sheamus must have showed him Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows where Bebop and Rocksteady are continually going "MY MAN!"

[Malfeitor]

I’m so spoiled by NXT and NJPW that I cant sit through an episode of Raw anymore.

I am going through the highlights on YouTube and have zero interest in Monday Night RAW. There's nothing that's keeping my interest. I usually don't complain because I know what I am getting into. If it weren't for FOMO, I'd probably stop following the show.

[Lock Jaw]

Still trying to wrap my head around taking the most popular guy on RAW/one of the only saving graces of the show and turning him heel.

WWE's pretty much pulling a Cena with their handling of Reigns.

Any face star more popular than him either gets the leeching treatment (ex. Rollins & Ambrose) or the heel turn treatment (ex. Braun) to make sure their overness gets weakened or no longer overshadows Reigns.

[Tom Guycott]

.... axe handles

If someone came off the top rope while swinging it from above their head onto their opponent, would the move be a triple axe handle?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Yes, I think it would be.

Smackdown is fun. 205 Live is fun. NXT is fun. The Mae Young Classic is fun...
