RAW -- 11.26.18 -- #SweetEmbraceofDeath

[Franco Vazquez]

These women should be given award for their ability to overtake each other in WOAT segments.

[Dark One]

Braun Strowman replaced by Curt Hawkins in MMC?

That is possibly the largest downgrade in the history of the world.

[Dark One]

I feel like it's going to be maybe 3 weeks before Drake Maverick pours a jug of piss on someone a la Joey Ryan.

[GD]

Curt Hawkins :lol:

[Franco Vazquez]

Curt Hawkins one of the best losers in the history of WWE.

[KIRA]

Braun Strowman replaced by Curt Hawkins in MMC?

That is possibly the largest downgrade in the history of the world.

It would be hilarious if they suddenly hit a win streak

I don't know they didn't put her with no way Jose or Mojo Riley so it's not that much of a downgrade

[Anybody Thrilla]

It would be hilarious if they suddenly hit a win streak

Would it be though?

[Anybody Thrilla]

It would be hilarious if they suddenly hit a win streak

I don't know they didn't put her with no way Jose or Mojo Riley so it's not that much of a downgrade

Mojo and Jose at least have wins this year.

[Franco Vazquez]

Finn Balor is worse than Ronda Rousey tbh

[slik]

As much as I dig Finn, promos are definitely NOT his strong point either

[Anybody Thrilla]

Ember is pretty fucking good.

[KIRA]

Mojo and Jose at least have wins this year.

Hawkins has also had his moments those guys have not

[Franco Vazquez]

I am gonna pull off the biggest heel turn here by saying that London>New York

[xrodmuc316]

Lol Hawkins just #METOOed Ember

[slik]

Ember is someone who deserved a huge push, ala Asuka, upon arriving to the main roster

[Dark One]

And here I was about to post a "Have You Seen Me?" No Way Jose post a little bit ago when his name was invoked. Son of a bitch.

[xrodmuc316]

Whoa they are running a commercial for EC3 on Raw! Interesting

[Franco Vazquez]

Imagine Curt Hawkins winning the MMC and getting no 30 draw at RR.

[KIRA]

oh lord I'm sorry I said his name I really am

Seems like Finn and Ronda had sex with each other last night because both of them have pinkeye

[slik]

I feel like I'm being 'too negative' tonight on RAW but also feel like RAW is 'really, really, really bad' so far overall.

[Franco Vazquez]

I forgot No Way Jose was even a thing.

[Anybody Thrilla]

What have I done to deserve this match?

[Franco Vazquez]

Not worse than Jinder winning WWE title

[KIRA]

You know if I'm no way Jose when I really sit down to think about my gimmick I would be too depressed to even bother getting new gear made

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why is this not over?

[KIRA]

Not worse than Jinder winning WWE title

What are you talking about that was a Golden Era

Filled with racism toward the Japanese and glorious iron pecs

Freaking loved Goldust and Booker T as a team. :love:

[Dark One]

Is it racist using Booker T to promote Fried Chicken and Waffles or no

Jason Jordan gonna answer the challenge and imagine if its Dolph or Drew again.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I dunno. Seems like during the (so-called) "Authority 'Era'" that Triple H and/or Stephanie McMahon were on TV every single week hogging valuable ring time.

He does seem to be into that.

I'm sure that's a work. They'll be back as Becky's henchmen before you know it.

I'd rather see Hawkins or Mojo Rawley answering the challenge then this BS.

This is like WCW early 2000's Nitro level bad.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm fighting the urge to go catch up on some Impact that I missed.

[Franco Vazquez]

I am sure even on WCW 2000 they wouldn't have same matches again and again

[Anybody Thrilla]

Jehosaphat Ealy should have answered the challenge?

[Franco Vazquez]

Do WWE know what an impromptu match is?

[Triple A]

Oh damn thought I missed Lars' debut, but it was just the same promo video...

[RP]

They should have had Buddy Murphy come out and take an actual shot. Not be on RAW, but just come out and have a 1 off match with Rollins for the belt since it is a " open challenge "... but, that requires creativity.

[xrodmuc316]

This is like WCW early 2000's Nitro level bad.

3 Count was awesome by the way lol

When was the last time they actually had some good open challenge because I think Dolph Ziggler has answered this already a lot of times.

[Dark One]

This is like WCW early 2000's Nitro level bad.

I am sure even on WCW 2000 they wouldn't have same matches again and again

Imagining how fucking awkward this would be if the people asking the questions aren't planted.

I need this main event to end with some kind of controversy or an interesting finish. But I bet the only thing that comes out of it is that Corbin wins and Balor drifts farther and farther into mid card hell

Remember when they were literally calling Balor "The Ordinary Man"?

[Splaya]

Ok I'm actually behind this

I do enjoy the old Regal's "Duchess of Queensbury Rules" schtick of changing stips mid-match, and that's the one really good thing about Baron being GM-Elect.

RAW no longer runs beyond 11pm, correct?

Fine work.

[Sepholio]

Was kind of hoping there at the end that instead of killing Finn, the lights would cut and when they came back on Bray would be sitting in his chair up the ramp with Balor on the ground next to him recovering. Have Bobby, Drew and Corbin in the ring with a wtf look on their face as it went off air.

Was kind of hoping there at the end that instead of killing Finn, the lights would cut and when they came back on Bray would be sitting in his chair up the ramp with Balor on the ground next to him recovering. Have Bobby, Drew and Corbin in the ring with a wtf look on their face as it went off air.

Bray, Finn & Braun as the new Wyatt Family.

Finn DOES have a decent beard...

[Sepholio]

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the thousands of Gods throughout the world for the gift of DVR. Love being able to start RAW at 10 and finish alongside the live broadcast via cutting out garbage/commercials. Great invention.

[Franco Vazquez]

I wouldn't have minded that ending if it wasn't Seth vs Ziggler.

[Franco Vazquez]

SS to RR is one of the worst seasons for WWE. They should give some time off to their talent during this time than giving us shit shows.

[Triple A]

I didn't watch but looked at the results... Seems like everyone is talking about how "utter shite" the show was... What stuff was specifically bad? Bayley segment?

[Sepholio]

Could easily have been explained, too. Bray is back to stand up against the people who took his old running mate Braun out. He saw the way they were attacking Finn, who he found a new respect for due to that loooong feud they had, and he also noticed that Braun accepts Finn so he thought it would be wise to save Finn and find himself a new ally in the process due to the numbers game.

Would have been a decent return angle for Bray, covers for Braun, keeps Finn as a focal point in the main event and it would have all made sense.

But we cant have things like that because reasons.

Nia Jax was given a microphone for a lengthy promo. Nothing else needed to describe how crap it was.

After the first ten minutes, Everything.

Everything was awful.

No Way Jose and Jinder Mahal wrestled for like ten minutes.

i'm mostly entertained by what little furniture and what props he has in the background.

[slik]

Hopefully this was just 'growing pains' due to re-arranging things because of all recent injuries...

...That said, no more Balor/Corbin and Seth/Dolph again, like ever, please....

Instead, next week we'll get Lashley/Elias again and some combination of Riott Squad and Nattie/Sasha/Bayley

SS to SS is worse.

Some musings

:n: The commentators kept banging on about how it wasn’t right that Bliss is now in charge of the Women’s Division as she’s “an active member of the roster”...but don’t seem to have a problem with Corbin being in the same position

:n: This Lucha House Party thing is annoying. Rematch from last week, the faces have the man advantage, they don’t tag out (which is standard in Lucha Libre but not mentioned at all by anyone), nobody seems to know who has allowed this ruling, The Revival - who had an outstanding match working as babyfaces a few weeks ago - are jobbing again.

:n: The Boss & Hug Connection is such a shit name. And the segment was also shit. Not to mention Dana Brooke - who worked face on the Starrcade Network special the day before, and has been a face since her time with Titus Worldwide - is apparently a heel again now.

:y: Hey! There’s No Way Jose!

:n: Fuck me could they have found a more underwhelming choice to answer the Open Challenge?

:y: Nice that the Superplex-Falcon Arrow finished the match

:n: Balor vs. Corbin again. Minor thing but they spent the whole night referring to Corbin as the GM Elect, even announcing him as such during his entrance yet hus nameplate didn’t reflect this.

[slik]

Vince is no doubt cackling

[Cool King]

I'll admit it:

I actually enjoy Lucha House Party.

Their match on Raw along with Ember Moon vs Alicia Fox were the only things I watched this week.

Everything else was just fast-forwarded.

I like LHP as they're different and are actually fun to watch and yeah I think this "Lucha House Party Rules" thing is a bit silly but I think it's leading somewhere.

Either we'll get two members of LHP vs The Revival at the TLC Kickoff (which I can see The Revival winning) or we'll get LHP vs The Revival and someone else, in a six-man tag match at the TLC Kickoff.

As for Ember Moon vs Alicia Fox, I watched that match because I like Alicia Fox. I also think Ember Moon is alright along with Jinder Mahal.

I mostly however watched it for Curt Hawkins and I'm not joking.

I've not watched any of Mixed Match Challenge this season as last season was pretty hit and miss for me, but now that Hawkins has been added, I am actually going to watch tonight's MMC even though it's highly likely that Hawkins & Moon will lose.

[Cool King]

What would be great though would be if Hawkins & Moon made it to the finals at TLC but with Moon picking up the victories along the way (Vince & Co. can find a way to not make those wins count towards, and breaking Curt Hawkins' losing streak because the WWE are good at making things not make sense) then at TLC, Hawkins & Moon win when Hawkins scores the pinfall, thus ending his losing streak.

But in reality, that isn't going to happen.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Just popped in to point out I didn't watch this week, and my life is richer for it. Peace out, y'all. Also, choke on that whoever said "you'll watch next week." I think it was Splaya. Nope. Can't make me. :y:

[XL]

This past couple of weeks seems to have been enough for a few people. I was listening to Taz(z) going off on the SDL after Survivor Series, and Brian Zane of Wrestling With Wregret is taking a week off from his review/comparison series that he’s done every week since the Brand Split started.

[slik]

The owner of NoDQ dot come said he won't be doing his post RAW show for a while either bc he thinks the product is just too bad to talk about and he doesn't want to watch it.

[Big Vic]

I don't think raw was awful this week just pretty boring

[Cool King]

I really couldn't tell you if it was bad or good as I hit the fast-forward button for pretty much all of it, so I really didn't see it but maybe I was one of the lucky ones for that?

[Cool King]

But from what I did see as I was watching it all fast-forward was pretty much the "same old shit" as previous weeks.

[Franco Vazquez]

You cant blame those people for not watching it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm curious as to how this fatigue works. It seems everyone is getting "over it" at the same time. I wonder if that is their influence on each other? This is like a reverse boom period.
