Raw Thread - 10/1/18 - Rousey v. Riott, Lashley v. Owens, HBK returns! Superstar Show-Down Go-Home Show

[Lock Jaw]

THE DOGS OF WAR HAVE LEFT THE HOUNDS OF JUSTICE DOWN AND OUT!! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THIS SATURDAY MORNING?!?!?!

[Stickman]

The stable of Strowman, Ziggler and Macintyre is doing nothing for me. I don't know if it's because they don't have a true leader or what, but they just seem awkward together.

[rez]

So.. is there anything left that's planned for tonight or they just gonna wing it?

[Stickman]

I've never been less interested in a wrestling product than I am now.

I'm with you. This is so bad and boring.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Drew looked legit pissed at Zig for interfering..even though it benefited him. Then, business as usual.

He didn't NEED his help, but he's happy with the win still.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I like the Elias/Owens pairing.

[RP]

I'm with you. This is so bad and boring.

This is WcW at it's worst right now.

[RP]

The worst Raw i've seen.

[rez]

oh..we still have HBK coming out. I forgot...

[rez]

What brand is Rey Rey gonna be on?

[RP]

Elias and KO?? Raw is getting better.

[Anybody Thrilla]

What brand is Rey Rey gonna be on?

Seems like he's always been a Smackdown guy in my head.

[RP]

WHO WANTS TO WALK WITH ELIAS!

[rez]

This is WcW at it's worst right now.

Even at WCW's worst they could pace a 3 hour show better than this crap... crap meaning...hey, it's an above average RAW.

[Emperor Smeat]

This is WcW at it's worst right now.

At least when WCW was bad it still had an entertaining train wreck vibe to it. Most RAWs are just flat out dull or boring because WWE still has no idea how to book for a 3 hour show.

[KIRA]

Elias should be greeted as a God in Nashville

[RP]

Seattle so bitter. lol

[rez]

Elias should be greeted as a God in Nashville

kinda got a grunge look..should be cheered there in Seattle.

[Lock Jaw]

Wow, they really hated that basketball comment

[Anybody Thrilla]

Renee with the Detlef Schrempf reference :love:

[Dark One]

More heat than Roman after beating Taker

[RP]

This is amazing

[Lock Jaw]

These are Vickie Guerrero boos.... what the hell is happening

[Anybody Thrilla]

Wow, this is great

[Lock Jaw]

Do they love their basketball team that much?

[RP]

LMAO THESE GUYS

[rez]

I liked the Super Sonics :( NBA needs them back.

[Emperor Smeat]

Elias and Owens getting Vickie Guerrero level of heat right now.

[KIRA]

Dam that basketball comment pissed them off

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Crowd won't be walking with Elias tonight.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Didn't know the Supersonics were such a hot button.

[rez]

Not even a huge NBA fan but it was cool when the Bobcats got the axe and Hornets returned to Charlotte.

[Dark One]

This is the most heat in the history of this business.

[RP]

THis is true heat. ROFL

[RP]

Wow the heat rofl. AMAZINGGGGGGGG

[Emperor Smeat]

If they were dissing Bryan instead of Cena, they'd easily hit a new level of booing on the WWE scale.

[Dark One]

Didn't know the Supersonics were such a hot button.

They've been burned trying to get a team back over and over

[rez]

Didn't know the Supersonics were such a hot button.

They were on the brink of a turn around and poof... to Oklahoma City. I get the rage.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Holy fucking shit

[Lock Jaw]

What the hell is going on

[RP]

I've never seen heat like this ROFL

[KIRA]

kinda got a grunge look..should be cheered there in Seattle.

No I think it's safe to say he won't have any fans in Seattle

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the constant insulting of Cena when the crowd doesn't care and instead are still super pissed at the NBA diss.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I kinda like the Thunder. Liked them a lot with Durant.

[KIRA]

They just outdid The Rock when he mocked the Maple Leafs

[Lock Jaw]

Ok. Google tells me they had a basketball team that moved away....

[Lock Jaw]

And there goes my set top box

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[rez]

I kinda like the Thunder. Liked them a lot with Durant.

we stole the Baltimore Colts....they still hate Indy for that..even after they stole the Browns and won a Super Bowl.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Lio Rush, the biggest face in the business

[RP]

WWE Clearly let that heat go for a while before they brought Lio out hahaha.

[Anybody Thrilla]

we stole the Baltimore Colts....they still hate Indy for that..even after they stole the Browns and won a Super Bowl.

I'll be in Broad Ripple on October 26th for an Atmosphere concert.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: complete dead silence when Lio Rush came out.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

SuperSonics chant lol

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

hhaahha meatwad

[rez]

I'll be in Broad Ripple on October 26th for an Atmosphere concert.

sweet

[RP]

I love KO, but Elias just drew all that heat and he would have done the same without KO. THat was amazing.

[rez]

[Emperor Smeat]

Going by the meat & potatoes of this segment, WWE completely read the crowd wrong for this. Bet they were expecting vicious booing for the Cena stuff and roars for Rush and Lashley and got none of it to happen. Instead it got carried by a simple local team diss.

Still segment of the year based on crowd reactions.

[KIRA]

Renee laughed which means she gets the reference to meatwad which means she just became my favorite person ever no wonder Dean Ambrose loves her

[Anybody Thrilla]

I wonder if Lio Rush was even alive when the Sonics were still around.

You're completely wrong. They read the crowd right and that segment went on a lot longer with Elias and KO, before LIO came out.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Meatwad was a good call.

ok i misread this sorry.

[rez]

I wonder if Lio Rush was even alive when the Sonics were still around.

No. he's only 10 years old.

Him and Nicholas are future tag team champs.

[Anybody Thrilla]

The 10 Year Old Piece of Gold

[GD]

Miss when Kevin Owens was a prizefighter and someone who was difficult to defeat. The feud with Strowman did a number on his credibility.

[rez]

That heat def turned the show around a wittle bit. Someone backstage deserves a cookie.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Miss when Kevin Owens was a prizefighter and someone who was difficult to defeat. The feud with Strowman did a number on his credibility.

Yeah same

[slik]

Brilliant segment, highlight of the show

[KIRA]

Except now knowing this company they're going to try to use it every single time they go to Seattle.

[Emperor Smeat]

ok i misread this sorry.

No problems.

Elias and Owens throwing in a quick SuperSonics jab whenever the crowd started to die down a bit was very smart on their end. Same for Rush coming out at the best time since they were running on fumes with the Cena disses.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Except now knowing this company they're going to try to use it every single time they go to Seattle

They've been using that tactic for cheap heat in numerous cities for many, many years. It just usually doesn't work that well.

[KIRA]

This is the most heat in the history of this business.

I want to say Rick Rude did that once you couldn't even hear him talk for the Boos

[Lock Jaw]

Miss when Kevin Owens was a prizefighter and someone who was difficult to defeat. The feud with Strowman did a number on his credibility.

He was easy to beat/not credible waaay before Strowman feud

[KIRA]

They've been using that tactic for cheap heat in numerous cities for many, many years. It just usually doesn't work that well.

Oh I know they've been doing it forever but they're probably going to find a way to over do it whenever they go to Seattle

[rez]

He just hit a kid!

[rez]

Now they just destroyed the human mannequin

[GD]

Whoa! Can't believe Owens actually got a pinfall victory over Lashley.

[Lock Jaw]

Bayley vs Alicia Fox main event?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Wait, what the hell is the main event? Bayley v. Alicia Fox?

[Lock Jaw]

Whoa! Can't believe Owens actually got a pinfall victory over Lashley.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THIS SATURDAY MORNING?!?!

[Lock Jaw]

Wait, what the hell is the main event? Bayley v. Alicia Fox?

Main event is HBK.

[KIRA]

Kevin Owens whole thing since he's been in the company has been about friendships

[KIRA]

Bayley vs Alicia Fox main event?

god yes

[Lock Jaw]

Wait, what the hell is the main event? Bayley v. Alicia Fox?

I hope it can live up to Melina vs. Alicia Fox

[rez]

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THIS SATURDAY MORNING?!?!

Nothing. Already sick of these glorified house shows.

Either this main event is going to get decent time or HBK will phone in on Skype. I'll take the wrestling match.

Antiquated Singh reference :lol:

blonde foxy

[GD]

Balor :lol:

[GD]

LMAO Ranjan Singh :rofl:

[Lock Jaw]

Alicia Fox with the best bridges in the biz

[Anybody Thrilla]

The Demon was startled by Bayley Buddies, for those keeping score.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Alicia Fox with the best bridges in the biz

Very nice. She's like a young Frank Gotch.

[KIRA]

This is the best main event this show has ever had

[rez]

let's see Balor be a cheerleader in SA

[A.J.K]

so what time is super showdown airing in central time?

[rez]

so what time is super showdown airing in central time?

4AM Saturday morning

[Anybody Thrilla]

so what time is super showdown airing in central time?

Probably 4 AM

[A.J.K]

Probably 4 AM

well shit, looks like i'm watching the replay in the afternoon. Saturdays i wake up at 11 am.

[Anybody Thrilla]

well shit, looks like i'm watching the replay in the afternoon. Saturdays i wake up at 11 am.

"Woken" my ass

[slik]

Picturing Dean Ambrose in the infamous Cena Yellow Pants from his rookie gear but w/ his current gimmick

[Emperor Smeat]

This is the best main event this show has ever had

But its just an old retired guy talking about a match between two other old guys who should be retired as well. :shifty:

Still kind of funny the amount of time WWE has spent on the Taker-HHH feud while everything else got meager scraps for time and focus or ignored till very recently.

[rez]

Undertaker obvi not going to come out. Show only usually goes another 12 minutes or so.

[Lock Jaw]

Thought Shawn's tron said "THE HEARTBREAK D"

[Anybody Thrilla]

HBK at least seems to be in good shape. Not doing that "out of breath" gag anymore.

[Lock Jaw]

It actually said "THE HEARTBREAK K D"

[A.J.K]

"Woken" my ass

when i want to be lol

[slik]

HBK is the greatest of all-time!

[KIRA]

By far Shawn Michaels biggest accomplishment is keeping a pair of jeans from the 90s intact

[rez]

Cheap Kenny Chesney hat ass. Go home.

[KIRA]

Oh no I'm a little bit behind I meant Alicia Fox and Bailey

[Anybody Thrilla]

Oh great, The Mayor From Hell is here.

[Lock Jaw]

BAHGAWD!! THE DEMON MAYOR IS HERE!!!

[GD]

Shawn delivering promos on RAW is one of my favorite things ever.

[Dark One]

THE DEVIL'S FAVORITE MAYOR IS HERE

[KIRA]

He came up from the hell of Knoxville County

[Anybody Thrilla]

Was Shawn wearing a du rag?

[Lock Jaw]

Wow at HBK with the totally shaved head now

[KIRA]

Triple H you a****** come and save your beloved

[rez]

Was Shawn wearing a du rag?

that wasn't HBK IT WAS BRETT MICHAELS

[Emperor Smeat]

Wow at how much Taker was struggling to setup the Tombestone.

[Lock Jaw]

Nice guts on Taker/Kane

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm just glad HBK didn't go the Kane route with a wig.

[Anybody Thrilla]

What a swerve! The Undertaker and Kane have joined the Nation of Domination! :eek:

[Anybody Thrilla]

Now is Goosebumps on Netflix or what?

[slik]

I guess Taker is losing at SuperShowdown

[Lock Jaw]

I'm just glad HBK didn't go the Kane route with a wig.

Kurt Angle route ONLY

[Anybody Thrilla]

Kurt Angle route ONLY

Oh true

[Emperor Smeat]

I guess Taker is losing at SuperShowdown

Probably via shennigans so they can set up that rumored tag match at Crown Jewel.

Also :lol: at Cole's slip up when he said maybe this will be the last time Taker and HHH will be in the ring together considering the tag line of the match.

[Tom Guycott]

Remember when Reigns promised to be a weekly fighting champ for the WWE Universe if he won the Universal belt. That lasted like what 1-2 weeks before WWE forgot about it.

[rez]

Now is Goosebumps on Netflix or what?

no idea. could be on amazon video, if not. the OG show is on the flix.

[Tom Guycott]

lmao Konnors outta nowhere push

He's going to turn on Viktor and start a singles run. And because WWE aren't paying attention, he is going to get momentum enough to work up to IC level threat...

Then, they'll get serious in booking him and fuck it all up.

[Anybody Thrilla]

no idea. could be on amazon video, if not. the OG show is on the flix.

So I just discovered. Probably gonna watch Cult of Chucky instead.

[Tom Guycott]

I missed the super collider and I love that Drake Maverick has two separate identities

Three, if you count The Demon paint...

No, that wasn't a knock on Finn. I just found it amusing picturing Rockstar Spud getting the Balor paint treatment at a PPV out of nowhere.

[Tom Guycott]

The stable of Strowman, Ziggler and Macintyre is doing nothing for me. I don't know if it's because they don't have a true leader or what, but they just seem awkward together.

I still think Zigs and Drew should dump Strowman, pick up The Revival, and start throwing up IV fingers...

[Tom Guycott]

Not a good night for Ospreay's nuts.

[Simple Fan]

Just can't get into Raw at the moment. Feel like the Shield reunion is forced and there isn't really a reason for them to reunite. Turning Braun just for them was dumb. Best part of Raw has been Elias for a while. I fast forward the women matches and most the stuff I don't care about and get through Raw pretty quickly. I don't see how Smackdown has a problem filling arenas when they are clearly the better show. I still fast forward through the women's matches on Smackdown but the rest of the show is alot better.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why do you hate women? Becky Lynch is the best act in WWE right now besides Samoa Joe.

[Evil Vito]

tuned out after the opening segment. sounds like it was another riveting episode of Raw.

[Anybody Thrilla]

The Elias segment was pretty wild.

[Emperor Smeat]

Can't get it to embed correctly here but its the Elias-Owens segment of greatness in its entirety. Too bad production didn't listen when Elias asked for the crowd lights to be turned off since that would have set them off even more.

Renee is amazing.

[Simple Fan]

I'll watch watch the main parts, I'm not watching a 15 minute women's tag match with a commercial break in the middle of it. Alexa Bliss and the Iconics I watch, not so much of the Iconics matches though.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I expected better from a Tessa Blanchard fan. :nono:
