RAW is Hogan/Cena/Brock/Braun/Flair/Rematches u don't care about (probably) - 1.7.19

[slik]

I would be ok w/ Ember winning the women's Royal Rumble and facing Asuka at WM

[Dark One]

Make-up cannon in full effect on Alexa

[slik]

I predict the next segment involves Alexa challenging Ronda to a match at the RR

[KIRA]

There's KIRA'S girl

We aren't worthy also I'm glad to see she's having so much fun with it it looks like she just enjoys being on TV and being goofy even though she's ridiculously talented

[RP]

IF ALEXA BLISS WERE PREGNANT I WOULD LET HER BREAK HER WATER ON MY FACE!

[xrodmuc316]

Just saw Batista landed a role in Dune, which is probably gonna be another big franchise.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The match should end at Full Sail with the Undisputed Era kicking all of their stupid asses.

[KIRA]

Let's be honest, the eclipse is the best finisher in the game today.

The only real problem I have with it is that I have this criteria that a finisher should be able to be applied anywhere and if Ember Moon tries to to do that outside the ring she's going to destroy her spine

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Roll Tide is getting rolled. lol

[KIRA]

Just saw Batista landed a role in Dune, which is probably gonna be another big franchise.

Yeah hopefully this time they can get all the exposition out of the way before they hit you with the confusing Rising Messiah story

[slik]

I do like that Alexa's set is on the stage instead of the ring

[xrodmuc316]

The match should end at Full Sail with the Undisputed Era kicking all of their stupid asses.

That would be incredible

[KIRA]

Wow Alexa could your eyeshadow be any thicker

[xrodmuc316]

Jesus Christ, who keeps booking this fat bitch.

[Dark One]

Oh jesus.

[Dark One]

We would all like to forget about you Nia.

[slik]

NO

[KIRA]

Uhh I don't know how much of an Underdog Story you have when your tangentially related to Snoop Dogg

[Dark One]

300.5 ounce Samoan?

[Dark One]

Nice to see some attitude from Sasha again.

[slik]

Did Nia just say she weighs 300 ozs

[Dark One]

I feel like no one actually timed or spaced this show in advance.

[KIRA]

Jesus Christ Why

[xrodmuc316]

Nia said she weighs 300.5 ounces lol. That's like 19 pounds by the way.

The fat no talent cow is so stupid she doesn't even understand how fat she is.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if Bayley is seething in anger backstage that her "best pal" randomly gets a chance at a title shot and she gets nothing as usual.

If there was ever a chance to bring back SwitchBayley, this would be it.

[slik]

Plz let Sasha win this, not Nia

[KIRA]

Becky is currently what Bailey could have been man

No SD/RAW set for the entrance at Royal Rumble btw

Wrestlers will enter from the dugout instead

[Dark One]

Gotta be like a 20% chance at most that Sasha makes it through this match without injury.

[Dark One]

BUDGET CUTS

[Dark One]

This episode has made me very happy with my decision to not attend Raw in Portland on the 4th.

[KIRA]

It may look like Alexa got hit with the makeup Cannon but it looks like Tamina got hit with a makeup railgun

[Mr. Nerfect]

Reading through these comments is pretty funny. There are even some TNA lols.

[xrodmuc316]

I remember shows in the 80's would have 2 entrances, one on each side of the arena.

A heels and a faces entrance. God Bless oldschool kayfabe lol

[rez]

Tonight Show with Princess Bliss

[Mr. Nerfect]

Seems pretty clear WWE aren’t sweating AEW though.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Jesus Christ, who keeps booking this fat bitch.

She's the only true Rock relative in the business.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I hope the rating goes down even more somehow, even though nothing is running.

[KIRA]

At this point Sasha's back has more twists and turns in it then Mario Kart Rainbow Road

I am a huge Rock fan, but if getting rid of Nia pisses Rock off and he never comes back to WWE, it would be worth it!

Sasha vs Ronda has the potential to be one of the best Women's matches in WWE history.

I don't know how that's going to happen in seven minutes.

The show she was on right before she didn't feel right about John Cena and called off the wedding?

Yeah, that whore cheated on him.

For real though, what a shady person. This is the same person that was upset Cena had a sex scene is a movie. Shameful

Cannot wait for Seth and Dean's Falls Count Anywhere match to end in a no contest after Dean gets in a car and leaves.

Oh no

[Stickman]

Sasha vs Ronda has the potential to be one of the best Women's matches in WWE history.

No. Sasha isn't good enough and I think Ronda is too big and strong for her. They will have to rehearse and practice their match. No way Sasha can carry Ronda. As good as Ronda is she still needs somebody to carry her. The things Ronda did with Nia she can't do with somebody as small as Sasha.

[Stickman]

I'm still having a hard time getting into Ambrose. His stupid facial expressions, whiney voice and invisible lats bother me. Why do he and Seth whine when they talk?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I lost it for Ambrose a few years back. He did some genuinely horrible work and came off really smug about it. Dude throws himself into what they give him, but it's shit, and he looks like he likes rolling around in shit as a result.

[Stickman]

It took him forever to crawl and cover Seth making them both look fucking weak.

[Stickman]

I really wish Lesnar would give a shit for a bit.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lesnar works really well with guys that aren't complete geeks or giant turds.

[Fignuts]

The only matches I've enjoyed from Lesnar in the last 5 years or so are two guys who could make a case for being the best in the world.

[Fignuts]

Also, Mean Gene segment was awesome. Everything else was boring, typical RAW.

So the only really interesting things that happened tonight were a very great Mean Gene tribute video and Ronda's next title match being against Sasha baring Sasha's health status.

Out of everything "wrong," I think this is the biggest problem with the product.

I didn't pay attention for two weeks, and apparently in that time nothing changed. Drew beat Dolph, I guess, but what's the point? Nothing happened tonight either to reward me for tuning in or to entice me to come back again, either. There were two championship matches that meant fuck-all because they had clusterfuck finishes that didn't really move the story one way or the other. Sure, the Revival got boned, but it sounds like they've gotten boned for like four weeks straight at this point.

Yes, sure, it's the holidays and college football championship and all of that shit, but I don't know that there is a valid excuse in the world for three straight weeks of nothing progressing. If Breaking Bad had been four straight weeks of Walter going to the grocery store and picking up groceries with nothing unusual happening, I don't think that people would speak highly of the show. If Game of Thrones started off with six weeks of the Starks eating dinner and happily chatting, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have made it out of Season 1.

At some point, some shit has to actually fucking happen. Three hours to name one contender for one championship and otherwise fuck all happening should be inexcusable.

[slik]

^ Nailed it.

Sure there was some good action but it was still same old, same old. The show starting w/ a brawl backstage caught my attention but then we went right into the 20 minute promo followed by multi-man match w/ umpteen commercial breaks. True, no evil heel authority figures on RAW but I think we're all skeptical of how long that will last.

It's not that WWE doesn't have the in-ring talent to shine, they do. But WWE is missing 'the x-factor' right now, something just isn't clicking for me. The entire show and product needs a refreshing, especially the format of the show and production style.

[Dark One]

Even during one of the rough patches on Smackdown in 2010 (Jack Swagger's world championship reign and feud with Big Show) we had the following happen:

1) Continued build up of the straight Edge Society and masked member interference, which would lead to Joey Mercury, if I recall correctly
2) Some tag teams getting built-up (Dudebusters and Archer/Hawkins)
3) Sets up a feud with Christian and Ziggler
4) Kofi gets positioned for a rematch for the IC Championship (which presumably hadn't happened six times in two months)

I mean, some of that shit is a retread from previous weeks, surely, and it involves the Dudebusters and Curt Hawkins, but that's still more than happened on a three hour show last night with 1000x the star power.

Jesus.

Honestly, I'm shocked Raw threads get this many pages nowadays. There's barely anything to discuss because nothing fucking happens.

I turned it on and saw Elias vs. Corbin, did something else and came back to see the Apollo/Ember mixed tag at the 10 hour

[Emperor Smeat]

Apparently EC3 and Lacey Evans going to RAW isn't a forgone conclusion since the only reason both wrestled last night was due to Vince wanting to see them personally (mainly EC3).
