9/24/18 Raw Thread

[RP]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HERE COMES THE BIG DOGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[Dark One]

They changed the Then, Now, Forever graphic as if to spite all of my posts of it in bad situations.

Nothing else matters now.

[ClockShot]

WHICH ONE IS THE REAL THREAD?!

[ClockShot]

WHICH ONE IS THE REAL THREAD?!

[Emperor Smeat]

Crowd doesn't sound that hyped up for the Shield's appearance.

[rez]

WHICH ONE IS THE REAL THREAD?!

both

[rez]

maybe this one

[ClockShot]

maybe this one

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER ONE?!

[rez]

pretty sure this one might be it?

[rez]

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER ONE?!

could be

[RP]

ROMAN REIGNS MAKES MY PRECUM COME OUT WOOO!

[RP]

I defer.

[ClockShot]

And someone did some merging.

All better.

[ClockShot]

Prime time for Dean to whoop their asses right now.

[RP]

I'm confusing Super Showdown and Crown Jewel. Anyone else having this issue?

[RP]

WWE should ban the words " RIGHT NOW " . It's so cringe now.

[Emperor Smeat]

Between his facial expression and him fidgeting around, looks like Dean really needs to take a piss pronto.

[RP]

Barons partners are The Revival per source.

[ClockShot]

BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

[ClockShot]

I'm confusing Super Showdown and Crown Jewel. Anyone else having this issue?

The video game Samurai Shodown runs through my head whenever I hear "Super Showdown".

That said, a locker room video game tournament of Samurai Shodown would be sweet.

[KIRA]

Is Dean so yoked that he can't fasten up his vest anymore

[Dark One]

Braun called it a belt

He's going to be banished to Superstars.

RIP BRAUN

[ClockShot]

And the seeds are being planted.

[RP]

I'd blow Dean Ambrose to get 6 hours with Alexa Bliss.

[Evil Vito]

I'd blow Dean Ambrose to get 6 hours with Alexa Bliss.

How many times would you ejaculate during aforementioned 6 hour session?

[rez]

Is this going to lead to heel Renee?

[KIRA]

They need to run that math by Scott Steiner ALS O. WHO'S THE 4TH MAN!?

[Evil Vito]

They’re actually bringing up past history. What is this?

[rez]

Wow, Rollins... Jason Jordan.

burn

[ClockShot]

Just say yes, Dean.

[rez]

Big Dawg heard enuff

[Emperor Smeat]

Ziggy's actually not wrong about Rollins tossing Dean to the curb once he got hurt for Kurt's long lost son, guitar friendly Double J.

[KIRA]

C'mon Ambrose do the right thing become the male Becky Lynch

[RP]

How many times would you ejaculate during aforementioned 6 hour session?

Enough to fill a tub.

[KIRA]

What the hell is with that camera angle they have on Balor

[GD]

I just saw a camera operator in a frame. Doesn't happen that often nowadays.

[Emperor Smeat]

If Balor were to transform into the DEMON Balor for one of the MMC matches, does Bayley also transform into the DEMON Hugger to match?

[GD]

Feel like Balor's tights are a bit too tight.

[KIRA]

Yep women's Revolution bayley stay outside cheer me and hold my coat

[GD]

Nothing like kicking off RAW with a Baron Corbin or Jinder Mahal match.

[rez]

Nothing like kicking off RAW with a Baron Corbin or Jinder Mahal match.

There's always Bucs/Steelers

[rez]

Sick of the political attack ads. Leave mah tv alone

[ClockShot]

There's always Bucs/Steelers

That's a good alternative.

Tampa wins, all the Florida teams will be on top of their respective divisions.

[KIRA]

does extra ordinary mean the things he can do are especially dull?

[ClockShot]

Damn Bayley.

That much trouble to do a belly-to-belly?

[rez]

Did I just see a Pepsi logo Balor Club poster? CM Punk gonna be pissed

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Balor beating Jinder via a distraction.

[Dark One]

What a shocking split that no one will remember.

[KIRA]

You know guys I think Bailey genuinely likes Finn

[GD]

Bayley and Finn kinda look hot together.

[GD]

You know guys I think Bailey genuinely likes Finn

Ditto.

[KIRA]

You know what Bray Wyatt is gone the door is open for Jinder Mahal to become some sort of Guru cult leader

[GD]

That's a gimmick infringement. Looks like Triple A and Guru Dave will have to take legal action.

[KIRA]

The women's division feels kind of pointless as long as Rhonda is the champion I mean every mess with her is going to have to end in shenanigans maybe if they bring in Asuka

[KIRA]

No she'll just end up driving a rickshaw or something

[KIRA]

That's a gimmick infringement. Looks like Triple A and Guru Dave will have to take legal action.

I get Guru Dave but why would we be getting sued by AAA

[rez]

You know what Bray Wyatt is gone the door is open for Jinder Mahal to become some sort of Guru cult leader

Jinder gonna convert to a Christian fundamentalist? :shifty:

[GD]

I get Guru Dave but why would we be getting sued by AAA

I feel generous and the need to share my earnings with Triple A. I will even pay for his legal fees :shifty:

[KIRA]

Jinder gonna convert to a Christian fundamentalist? :shifty:

No he can stay whatever the hell that is just start gaining a following maybe Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel

[Emperor Smeat]

The women's division feels kind of pointless as long as Rhonda is the champion I mean every mess with her is going to have to end in shenanigans maybe if they bring in Asuka

At least on the RAW side it pretty much is. Add in the Bellas who are now back hogging the spotlight and its even more pointless for RAW.

Best thing WWE had was the Terrible Friend Sasha vs. SwitchBayley feud that quickly got tossed to the bin.

[GD]

No he can stay whatever the hell that is just start gaining a following maybe Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel

That is just Sikh.

[slik]

The women's division feels kind of pointless as long as Rhonda is the champion I mean every mess with her is going to have to end in shenanigans maybe if they bring in Asuka

Not watching rn

But agreed 100%

[Emperor Smeat]

Holy shit, Brie's fucking terrible in the ring. Just messed up Liv from those kicks.

Like I tend to give a lot of leeway to women's wrestling in the WWE because historically WWE has done a terrible job over the years developing it but Brie is legit worse than Kelly Kelly.

[KIRA]

good god brie is horrible how can Daniel Bryan watch this and not think about divorce

[GD]

Holy shit! Did Brie Bella actually mess up Liv? Wow!

[Dark One]

Checking out for the night. Good luck everyone.

[GD]

Enough Brie Mode for tonight. Poor Liv can barely stand up.

[KIRA]

That is just Sikh.

Ah

[KIRA]

Did she break Liv Morgan's nose

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at pulling an injury spot after having a legit injury occur minutes ago in this match.

[Evil Vito]

Lol everyone breaking character smack dab in the middle of the show.

[GD]

Riott Squad just defeated Nattie and the great Bella Twins in a 2-on-3 handicap match.

[GD]

Two Alex Rileys?

[KIRA]

Two Alex Rileys?

Ooo if what it's Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder

[Evil Vito]

Thank god this is the last Raw of September

Oh fuck, then it’ll be pink ropes next month and they’ll do even more of this

[KIRA]

Thank god this is the last Raw of September

Oh fuck, then it’ll be pink ropes next month and they’ll do even more of this
Get ready for a double serving of Nikki and Brie Bella on every single Raw

[GD]

Stephanie McMahon is dripping with sincerity.

[RP]

I like when WWE breaks character for a great cause.

[KIRA]

Look at Triple H he's like God when is your old man going to die so I can right this sinking ship

[KIRA]

Speaking of writing sinking ships at Triple H really needs to go sit in on a Smackdown so he can see what they're doing to his Pet Project

[RP]

This is great stuff.

[Evil Vito]

Remember in the Attitude Era they’d take a break in the middle of the show to remind everyone that wrestling is fake?

[KIRA]

Does the WWE donate to St Jude I'm just wondering

[RP]

amazing they take this much time for a cause. I really love this.

[KIRA]

Also what is that car

[xrodmuc316]

There's always Bucs/Steelers

How come Bill Cosby has to go to jail and Big Ben Rapistburger gets to keep playing football?

[KIRA]

Remember in the Attitude Era they’d take a break in the middle of the show to remind everyone that wrestling is fake? to be fair if you didn't Discover it was fake after the rock and stone cold dropped a dummy off a bridge into the river then there is no helping you

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: at the "you deserve it" chants for the belts the kids are getting.

Wonder if Bruan kept his MitB case, could he have cashed in on either of those special belts.

[GD]

Awww...

[RP]

That's extremely awesome WWE.

[KIRA]

Okay you know what fine the belts are cool and so are the kids.

[Evil Vito]

Good for the kids. Shame WWE never seem sincere with any of this when Steph herself has blatantly said that philanthropy is the future of marketing.

[GD]

I'd be so happy if The Revival give Dolph and McIntyre a legit fight for the straps tonight.

[KIRA]

Good for the kids. Shame WWE never seem sincere with any of this when Steph herself has blatantly said that philanthropy is the future of marketing.

This
Although do you really care if a company sincere you don't need them to care you just need them to donate

[xrodmuc316]

Seriously guys, Big Ben raped multiple women. How does he get to keep him job!

[DAMN iNATOR]

:y: at the "you deserve it" chants for the belts the kids are getting.

Yeah, it was a nice moment. Really hit me right in the feels.

[KIRA]

Seriously guys, Big Ben raped multiple women. How does he get to keep him job!

Payoffs?

The fact that Bill Cosby admitted that he drugged women in a deposition?

[xrodmuc316]

Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself and got sent to jail for 2 years.

Ben raped 2 woman and got suspended 3 games. That is only 6 quarters per rape!

[rez]

Seriously guys, Big Ben raped multiple women. How does he get to keep him job!

Cause he did it in the Attitude Era

[DAMN iNATOR]

"Glorious" Chadwick Gable

[KIRA]

who knew Dolph Ziggler of all people would be the devil to get under Dean Ambrose skin

[Emperor Smeat]

:n: Gable still not having a robe to match his idol The Glorious One.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Cause he did it in the Attitude Era

You're missing the point which is Did he do it...for The Rock?

[xrodmuc316]

Cause he did it in the Attitude Era

Lol.

SERIOUSLY though, this Raw has been brutal. Freaking Konnor in a single match?? I don't think dude has has a singles match since 2013 in NXT lol

[KIRA]

Forget Ben Roethlisberger and the fact that he may be raped to women how is the person who made Bobby Roode a face not being prepped for a public execution?

[rez]

PPR

Points Per Rape

[xrodmuc316]

You're missing the point which is Did he do it...for The Rock?

He did it...for The Rock, but not really, he did it cause HHH actually told him too.

[rez]

holy sht

[KIRA]

I'm going to laugh my ass off if they're setting up Konnor for a push

[xrodmuc316]

Professional wrestling swerve = it was actually about Triple H all along

[Emperor Smeat]

Good for the kids. Shame WWE never seem sincere with any of this when Steph herself has blatantly said that philanthropy is the future of marketing.

That re-tweet by her was legit one of the dumbest things anyone in the WWE has ever done.

Even though others have told that she is actually very sincere with wanting to improve women's wrestling and WWE being more charitable as a company, that tweet and her delivery style just makes it all feel ingenuine instead.

[rez]

at least HHH admitted he sold his soul a long time ago

[KIRA]

I'm pretty sure she is as Cutthroat and vicious as her old man if not more so if there's any heart anywhere in this oddly enough it'll be Triple H

[Emperor Smeat]

Forget Ben Roethlisberger and the fact that he may be raped to women how is the person who made Bobby Roode a face not being prepped for a public execution?

Maybe WWE is waiting for Crown Jewel to do it since it fits with who's hosting the event.

[xrodmuc316]

I'm going to laugh my ass off if they're setting up Konnor for a push

Bet $ WWE writers went "Connor's Cure...hey let's follow that up with Konner winning. Conner, Konner, it writes itself!!!" Smh

[KIRA]

Kane too busy trying to balance the budget tombstoning his assistant for bringing him the wrong coffee and trying to see if he can get Dr Shelby hired for a human resources job

[Emperor Smeat]

I'm pretty sure she is as Cutthroat and vicious as her old man if not more so if there's any heart anywhere in this oddly enough it'll be Triple H

If Triple H is to be believed, she's pushed as much as he has behind the scenes to help improve women's wrestling in WWE. Same for her pushing the WWE to be more charitable since she genuinely wants to help others and also score some good PR for WWE on the side.

She's just really terrible when it comes to presenting it on screen which is why it always feels really fake in the end.

[Arrogance]

Wwe is satanic fml

[KIRA]

The revival going in

[Evil Vito]

Corbin is so obviously teaming with AOP. They seemed to change their gear specifically for this purpose.

[KIRA]

Corbin is so obviously teaming with AOP. They seemed to change their gear specifically for this purpose.

I was going to say something about that the other week it wouldn't do to have that many people in tactical gear and somebody has to change their look and we all know it wasn't going to be the shield

[RP]

Best thing that's happened on RAW so far is the cancer kids celebration

[slik]

just tuning in, catching up via twitter

The Bellas have sucked always, at wrestling, at promos, acting, everything
Poor Liv.

[RP]

Thank God Elias is here.

[RP]

Elias you are a breath of life in a lifeless RAW.

[KIRA]

Elias you are a breath of life in a lifeless RAW.

Actually the tag match with the Revival was really good it felt like a wrestling show for a minute there

[RP]

I switched the channel.

[Emperor Smeat]

KO Show getting its own on-screen graphic is great. All that's missing is the KO Show sign guy in the ring.

[RP]

I try so hard to get myself interested in the WWE but it always last like 45 minutes at the most.

[slik]

Random match w/ Cena

[xrodmuc316]

K.O. and Elias are the best thing Raw has

[slik]

Lio Rush sounds like Goofy again...

[RP]

If Bobby Lashley didnt come out smiling and looking fucking goofy, I would be behind all this.

[KIRA]

Lio Rush has a faker laugh then Seth Rollins

[RP]

Can we get Lashley coming out looking like a mean motherfucker?? THat would be way better.

[RP]

I've warmed up to Lio Rush, but it doesnt work if Lashley comes out like he's heard a few jokes before he hits the curtains. THe dude has to be more bad ass.

[RP]

WIPE THE FUCKING SMILE OFF OF LASHLEY"S FACE WWE FOR FUCK SAKES WTF!

[KIRA]

He wanted to look intense but they told him don't forget to smile

[RP]

WWE employs know one that understands the intricacies of a character.

[Emperor Smeat]

This is the most Bobby Lashley has been cheered since being back .. well besides the time he beat Reigns in a match.

Since they are in his hometown, WWE will capitalize on these strong cheers by having him lose tonight.

[RP]

I dont believe for one second those " BOBBY BOBBY BOBBY " chants were real.

[Emperor Smeat]

Well that was a useless waste of time.

Match itself was pretty good though.

[rez]

:wtf::?: me trying to watch the last hour of RAW

[KIRA]

I love Bobby Heenan but come on it's j r

[rez]

Nia short shaming her partner. pff

[KIRA]

Just think you go to see a wrestling show and you have to sit there and watch Kevin Hart telling unfunny jokes on a giant screen Thank You Vince

[KIRA]

Alicia Fox please save this show

[rez]

Just think you go to see a wrestling show and you have to sit there and watch Kevin Hart telling unfunny jokes on a giant screen Thank You Vince

At least they weren't the fans at the Manhattan Center for Raw 25th.

[xrodmuc316]

You know what i'd love, if Drew and Dean both turned on their teams and destroyed the other 4 of these bums.

[rez]

RAW has way too much filler and useless stuff going on that not even the 3 hour excuse works anymore. WWE's just plain old lazy with how they handle and book weekly RAW shows.

Smackdown has their own share of quality issues but at least they do a much better job with pacing so the useless stuff doesn't drag everything else down.

[Emperor Smeat]

Drake Maverick looks even more out of place standing next to Corbin on the stage with AoP.

[slik]

aop looked good in main-event

[Jordan]

Raw thread small.

[Fignuts]

I know, right?

I actually thought it was a pretty good show overall.

[Fignuts]

Well that was a useless waste of time.

Match itself was pretty good though.

What did you expect to happen?

[Emperor Smeat]

What did you expect to happen?

Just something better for an ending.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Something felt slightly different about this Raw, but in a good way. It seems like somebody was trying to at least do SOMETHING, if that makes sense.

[Frank Drebin]

I heard Liv Morgan got jacked in the face so that's something.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Fuck you.

Also Drebin, I'll be in Chicago on November 30th. Plan accordingly.

[Emperor Smeat]

Apparently Brie's antics in the 6-woman tag match caused a huge scene backstage and likely the reason why the WWE and Bellas released that half-assed apology.

Seems Ruby was extra furious at Brie since not only did she injury Liv, almost got her nose busted twice because of Brie. First from Brie's reckless running knee spot she loves to do and the other because Brie couldn't follow simple directions for a spot.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The other Brie Bella botch from that (disaster) match<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RAW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RAW</a> <a href="https://t.co/kxox9V77sx">pic.twitter.com/kxox9V77sx</a></p>&mdash; GIF Skull (@GIFSkull) <a href="https://twitter.com/GIFSkull/status/1044397621383557120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 25, 2018</a></blockquote>

Supposedly Logan called for the slingshot with Ruby meant to hit Brie for classic cheap heel heat. Instead Brie decided to just deck Ruby who wasn't expecting the counter.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Good thing she's the only wrestler on both shows in the entire WWE.

[Frank Drebin]

Lol...the Bellas are wrestling again? Didn't they have a tearful farewell or something and Nikki had a neck injury?

[Emperor Smeat]

The ironic thing about Brie being a mess yesterday was them and others in the women's division lashed out the day before regarding an article that lambasted the Bellas and Divas era in general for being terrible for women's wrestling.

Brie's way of shutting up those critics was basically to prove them right and continue a botch/injury streak she's maintained since coming back.

[Frank Drebin]

link?

[Emperor Smeat]

https://wrestletalk.com/news/wwe-women-defend-diva-tag-and-the-bellas/

The only real complaint I see about NoDQ's article is that it goes a bit too far in the anything pre-NXT era = garbage point when there were some women during the Attitude Era and Divas era that were decent in the ring and/or with character work. Like Eve wasn't good in the ring but she was at least decent when it came to playing characters compared to Brie who is still terrible at both.

I thought Eve was actually pretty good in the ring by the end of her run. At least compared to the people she was working with.

[Frank Drebin]

Yeah, she's really underrated. For some reason, her last match with Kaitlin sticks out as really good.

[Frank Drebin]

“Talent isn’t sexually transmitted”
-AJ Lee

I should go back and watch AJ's mini pipe bomb. All I remember thinking during that are the Bellas screaming and yelling while AJ is on the mic and I'm wishing they'd stfu because this wasn't some run of the mill promo.

[Frank Drebin]

That "article" was like 3 paragraphs long.

[Emperor Smeat]

I thought Eve was actually pretty good in the ring by the end of her run. At least compared to the people she was working with.

Yeah she did get better near the end but for similar reasons as others from that era. Pretty much if you had a decent title reign and/or were on tv a lot, you were going show signs of improvement.

Some didn't carry it over when their reign ended or tv time diminished (ex. Bellas, Eva Marie) while others kept gradually improving (ex. Layla, Eve).

Think the latter half of Eve's career also coincides with Fit Finlay's real control of the division and push to improve their in-ring skills. Before Sara Del Rey/Amato, he was the division's most influential person for trying to improve its perception in the WWE.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Apparently Liv has a concussion.

[Tom Guycott]

I thought Eve was actually pretty good in the ring by the end of her run. At least compared to the people she was working with.

That is a lie directly from the pits of hell.



Wait... you said Eve, not Eva. Hell, I forgot about Eve Torres. I didn't even remember her last name was Torres until I just now looked her up.

[Tom Guycott]

I should go back and watch AJ's mini pipe bomb. All I remember thinking during that are the Bellas screaming and yelling while AJ is on the mic and I'm wishing they'd stfu because this wasn't some run of the mill promo.

Well, she didn't suck... up to the right people.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Yes, definitely Torres. Definitely not Eva Marie.

[Frank Drebin]

Would kill for an Eva Marie vs Brie Bella iron man match.

[Big Vic]

I should go back and watch AJ's mini pipe bomb. All I remember thinking during that are the Bellas screaming and yelling while AJ is on the mic and I'm wishing they'd stfu because this wasn't some run of the mill promo.

"SAY IT TO OUR FACE!"

If Kevin Dunn was smart he'd mute all mics except AJs

[Fignuts]

Just something better for an ending.

I mean, the whole "getting in each others heads" angle just started. Did you expect them to turn someone on the same show it begins? What they did with dean hesitating a moment before joining the shield was good for an ending.

You don't want to blow your load all over the hookers face in the first two minutes.

[Emperor Smeat]

Oh, didn't mean to cause any confusion when I made that post. I was talking about the Lashley-Elias match at the time.

Match itself was good but had the typical flat or anti-climatic ending WWE loves to use whenever they want to artificially stretch out feuds with more useless matches.

[Fignuts]

Ooooooooooooooooooh

[Fignuts]

Oh

[Tom Guycott]

Would kill for an Eva Marie vs Brie Bella iron man match.

Perhaps "kill" would be an apt choice of words. However, "most falls in the hour" wouldn't so much mean pins as actual stumbles.

Also, make the original Sin Cara the ref, complete with mood lighting, and you might be onto something.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Who refs when OG Sin Cara inevitably breaks his fingers counting a pin fall attempt?

[Anybody Thrilla]
