Raw Thread 10/29/18

[Dark One]

So, hey, Evolution was actually pretty good.

How's tonight going to go?

It's either this or take apart my dishwasher

[RP]

JESUS CHRIST ROMAN REIGNS HAS LEUKEMIA AGAIN! HE JUST HAD IT LAST WEEK!

[Droford]

If they add Drew to the title match they might as well add soneone else and make it a 4 way.

[slik]

raw is sad stuff

[Droford]

JESUS CHRIST ROMAN REIGNS HAS LEUKEMIA AGAIN! HE JUST HAD IT LAST WEEK!

This is really gonna be sad when he's dead

[Droford]

The Roman Reigns memorial Main Event at Wrestlemania

[Dark One]

Gonna estimate an hour before I give up and take apart my dishwasher.

[ClockShot]

1 week removed with Vince's true love gone for the foreseeable future.

The Shield, for all intents and purposes, is finished.

Evolution is behind us.

So, where do they go from here? I have no clue.

[ClockShot]

I DO know that Corbin has to go away.

[Droford]

Oh dear Corbin holding the belt lol
That's as close as he'll ever get

[Dark One]

Just threw up a little bit at Corbin with the belt over his shoulder.

[RP]

Well look who's here! He looks fat.

[ClockShot]

Brock's here now.

Get Braun out here shortly after.

I can turn this off early.

[Droford]

Finn Balor should get his rematch title shot

[Droford]

Lol at Heyman

[Savio]

Remember when WWE wanted to get Xpac heat on this multi-million dollar contract guy?

[ClockShot]

BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

[slik]

Braun has CENA NUFF

[Droford]

I think we've seen the last of Corbin in an authority role

[GD]

Wow! Didn't realize that Corbin towered Strowman.

[GD]

Renee is certainly quiet.

[ClockShot]

It's time for the mute and closed caption functions to come into play.

[Droford]

Lio fucked that up

[rez]

chilling adventures of sabrina

[Savio]

Wish Lio Rush was replaced with Enzo.

[Dark One]

So is Lio one of Bobby Lashley's sisters or a brother in law or what

[Sepholio]

The physical amazing feats of Lashley you guys!

[Droford]

Does the bottom of his logo really say The Moth

[ClockShot]

C'mon Mr. Cameraman. Get him on his left side.

Show the world that Vince is literally in his ear with that ear piece he got.

[Sepholio]

Lio Rush is like a bad itch that won't go away.....So you go to the doctor and get your junk smashed with a rubber mallet to get rid of it.

[slik]

Hate Lio Rush on the mic so much

[Droford]

They supposed to replace Cena with Bob at CJ

[Droford]

Lashley headband lol

[ClockShot]

THERE IT IS!

THERE'S THE EAR PIECE!

[GD]

Considering Balor's victory last week, there's no way Lashley doesn't win tonight.

[Lock Jaw]

Hi. I'm here. Caught up to RAW live. Unfortunately. So I can't fast forward through this right now.

[Droford]

Considering Balor's victory last week, there's no way Lashley doesn't win tonight.

Well..you're wrong but it doesn't matter

[Droford]

Should call that the Full Bobby

[Lock Jaw]

Think I'm gonna hop on a plane and help Dark One take apart his dishwasher.

[ClockShot]

OH MY GOD SHUT UP!

[Dark One]

Wait.

Is this Chris Masters is blackface? That's not cool.

[GD]

lol Balor wins this week as well

[KIRA]

well a win is a win

[slik]

Boooo Lashley

[KIRA]

Bayley needs to come out and make the save for her boy

[Dark One]

Think I'm gonna hop on a plane and help Dark One take apart his dishwasher.

Cool. You take care of it entirely for me and you can have $100

[Lock Jaw]

Should call that the Full Bobby

http://users.eastlink.ca/~howardg/regal%20lashley.jpg

[GD]

I don't know what they're going for by booking Lashley so weakly or having him go against Balor two weeks in a row?

[Lock Jaw]

Cool. You take care of it entirely for me and you can have $100

I call that a win-win scenario

[GD]

[slik]

I wish Bayley would give Lio Rush a Bayley to Belly suplex

[ClockShot]

Ugh.

[RP]

John Cena shade

[Droford]

They supposed to replace Cena with Bob at CJ

And there it is

[Lock Jaw]

Saudis can't C Cena

[Droford]

Probably should have had Bob win outright over Finn but oh well

[GD]

Oh snap! Cena's officially out of the World Cup tournament. Wow.

[Droford]

Ohhh

Becky vs Ronda

[KIRA]

CENA PROBLEM SOLVED! Good work writing team

[RP]

CHAMP CHAMP CHAMP CHAMP CHAMP CHAMP CHAMP CHAMP CHAMP

[Lock Jaw]

Becky!! :heart:

[Dark One]

Becky's gonna verbally obliterate Ronda.

[Lock Jaw]

Rousey looking like the Borg Queen

[Lock Jaw]

Lita/Trish rassling again tonight? Ok......

[Droford]

Becky's gonna verbally obliterate Ronda.

Via satellite

[KIRA]

Badass Becky coming for you

[Dark One]

I'm curious to see how the crowd reacts to Ronda when she's against Becky.

Like, if they have Ronda plow through Becky, is the crowd going to turn on her as hard as they did Charlotte?

[Dark One]

Via satellite

Via Twitter.

[GD]

Oh snap! I am so stoked for Becky vs Ronda.

[ClockShot]

10-woman tag match?

Like, now?

Why? This is something I'd put later on.

[Droford]

There's a 30% chance of someone breaking their neck in this matcg

[Droford]

Via Twitter.

Textually

[slik]

Becky vs Ronda is official for Survivor Series

Let's go Becky!

[Lock Jaw]

Wait, did they just randomly announce Becky vs. Ronda at Survivor Series?

Like, a one-on-one match? Or as "Team Captains"?

[Savio]

Hope Ronda breaks all of their arms

[xrodmuc316]

Oh snap! I am so stoked for Becky vs Ronda.

WWE has learned nothing. If they want Ronda to get cheered, the last thing you want to do is put her against the NEW Peoples Champ, Stone Cold Becky!

1 on 1

[ClockShot]

The Riott Squad, Mickie, and Crazy Foxx.

Ooof.

Bliss gotta get cleared ASAP.

[Droford]

I wonder if we get Braun vs AJ at SS

[Droford]

Lita is 43 but moves around like she gets an AARP discount

[xrodmuc316]

For someone who does moonsaults, Lita has a surprising lack of hops. She literally got 0 inches in that poetry in motion.

[Droford]

Nakamura vs Seth Rollins at SS would bevgreat

[KIRA]

them knees ain't what they used to be

[Lock Jaw]

Every time Ruby Riott Rassles, Michael Cole seems to need to point out "She will be a champion someday!"

[Droford]

Lol at Natalya taking a nap

[GD]

"The Juvenile Delinquent"

[xrodmuc316]

Holy hell ANOTHER Nia Jax promo...

[Lock Jaw]

Had to go look up when Survivor Series is.... November 18... that's actually pretty damn soon..... guess they have been too busy with Crown Jewel to promote that it was coming up......

[Dark One]

Why is KAYLA BRAXTON YELLING SO GODDAMN MUCH

[RP]

Nia really needs to be banned from the buffet. It's getting out of control.

[Dark One]

Nia Jax truly is the female Big Show

[xrodmuc316]

She is the worst baby face ever, fat, smug, fake, and very unlikable

[Droford]

Roman Reigns mentioned more in his absence than if he was still around

[slik]

Nia's 19th heel turn this year

[Droford]

Curtis Twizzlershands

[Dark One]

I 100% believe that Twizzler commercial was written by WWE Writers.

[xrodmuc316]

**Friendly reminder**

Because WWE decided they wanted to push Nia Jax, they shipped Asuka to Smackdown, jobbed out, and ruined all the work done over 3 years to elevate her.

All so Fat Nia Jax could be a Fat Babyface on Raw.

[Droford]

I 100% believe that Twizzler commercial was written by WWE Writers.

I originally thought it was going to be some sort of No means No PSA

[KIRA]

I do wonder if they were ever truly going to let Asuka become anything special on the main show seeing as how they have this thing about speaking English even though it's become quite clear that it's not a requirement to get over with the audience

[Droford]

It'd be funny if Elias Face turn causes the fans to not get into his schtick anymore

[RP]

WALK WITH ELIAS!

[KIRA]

I wonder what the story explanation for Charlotte and Becky beating the s*** out of each other only to pose for a 4 horse women photo before the Pay-Per-View

[Droford]

Elias keeps messing with his ear piece

[KIRA]

Elias is Bray Wyatt without the word salad promos

[RP]

rofl

[Droford]

Lol

[Dark One]

If this is Face Elias, this is actually going to work.

[RP]

A rare Jinder sighting

[rez]

am i missing an above average raw? by above average, i mean eating your dog's puke.

[Dark One]

If this is Face Elias, this is actually going to work.

And then Jinder showed up.

Son of a bitch.

[Droford]

It looks like Barons office is a bathroom

[RP]

" Elias can you play me a song?

" For you? No! "

[KIRA]

If this is Face Elias, this is actually going to work.

It'll be interesting to see if he can keep this going provided there's no interference from the writers we may have something

[Lock Jaw]

" Elias can you play me a song?

" For you? No! "

I keep thinking Dana Brooke is Lana these days

[Lock Jaw]

Still not mentioning where Crown Jewel is.....

[Dark One]

"We are guaranteed to have a new champion"

Bullshit. I've seen enough double count outs or no contests to know better.

[xrodmuc316]

They had her run through the Raw Roster, remain undefeated, some survivor, Royal Rumble winner, win Mix Match Challenge, laid the groundwork for her and Alexa with Mickie getting beat up while Alexa barely escaped numerous times.

Then out of nowhere she chooses to go to Smackdown to fight Charlotte, which by the way, makes no storyline sense seeing as if she wanted to go to Smackdown to fight Charlotte, why didn't she sign with Smackdown when she came up from NXT??? She was a free agent, it was her choice.

What happened was at some point Vince decided Be a Star Nia Jax would be a good storyline and screwed it all up.

Problem is nothing about her is a babyface. Even on Total Divas she is a total self centered bitch. There is nothing likable about her, which is why she is a great heel.

Yeah I have no idea what McMahon is sees when he's looking at Nia Jax

[slik]

First ep of Channel Zero: The Dream Door was pretty good

Really cool horror villain so far

[slik]

IMO Channel Zero is the best horror show on tv but it doesn't get the eyeballs or awareness of Walking Dead or AHS

[slik]

#PretzelJack baybay

[slik]

Anyways, hope they show more commercials for the show during RAW to help it get viewers/streams

[KIRA]

" well now that we got that women's rights b******* pay-per-view out of the way let's focus on the real show Crown Jewel at ( redacted)"

[xrodmuc316]

Much better promo from Angle this week, when not reading from teleprompter.

My reaction when I ask "why would WWE take the 2nd best NXT heel champ, and then turn him into a baby face tag team jobber?"

[Droford]

Lol so they've shortened to AOP

[KIRA]

It's like the WWE has forgotten all the lessons of wrestling people who wear robes to the ring are heels

Why are they trying to push Bobby Roode as a face

Why are they trying to push Charlotte as a face her motif is a goddamn peacock which is associated with arrogance which is usually a heel trait what is wrong with this company

[KIRA]

Also what happened to Konnors push he was poised to be superstar of the year

Wow! That video was super adorable.

Renee awkwardly standing there whole Cole talks about Ambrose’s selfishness

[xrodmuc316]

I wonder if Lio Rush will have an open Mic at Crown Jewel.

If he says something disagreeable, a lot of bad could happen

[KIRA]

Oh God continuity

[Dark One]

Oh man. Are we getting Ambush Ambrose again?

https://i.makeagif.com/media/5-11-2015/Jl8zN9.gif

[Lock Jaw]

I bet that Ambrose turned on Rollins because that one time he forgot the potato salad

Maybe because he stopped saying Jyyyyyyyyeeeaaaahhhnnn

[Evil Vito]

No Ambrose heel promo

Return of the Attitude Era put on hold

[Lock Jaw]

If Bobby Lashley had a less annoying mouthpiece, this would be a premium gimmick for him.

[Lock Jaw]

Is there a main event for this show? I thought the Seth/Dean stuff was gonna close the show

Wonder how they get rid of Bryan for the title match

Did Michael Cole just briefly try out his Vince McMahon impression when introducing Kane

206 years old for this match...

this is weird

Did Michael Cole just briefly try out his Vince McMahon impression when introducing Kane

He's been told to channel Vince for 20 years, but he's only finally getting the hang of it now.

[Mr. Nerfect]

What is DX rebelling against?

Retirement Homes?

There's a Seth Green cartoon in there somewhere. It's not funny or good, but it's in there.

[Sixx]

Read the results, seems like a lousy show.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lol, the guy I usually read and gives things a 4-6 gave this a 2 and said it was absolutely nothing. Ouch.
