Meh....sick but might as well watch and make myself feel worse.

[Franco Vazquez]

Heard Braun is off RR. Balor might replace him

[slik]

News about RAW tonight from Meltzer



A major angle is expected to be shot tonight that will change one of the main events at the Royal Rumble show. We'll talk about it after the show depending on how it goes down or if it goes down. It will be reported that it is due to an injury by others. It is not. It was always the plan and we'll explain that on tonight's show if it happens based on how it is explained.

Tonight is also the "bounce back" Raw where we get an indication where ratings are after no more football competition or holidays. The past two years the "bounce back" increase has been 12.5 percent in 2017 and 17.2 percent in 2018. Based on those figures we should have an average audience of 2.61 million to 2.72 million. I expect closer to 2.56 million but anything under that would be a disappointment. Smackdown last year did not go up since it doesn't have football competition. To show how far things have fallen for a direct comparison, for this same week last year Raw did 3.22 million viewer and Smackdown did 2.60 million.

Bonnie Hammer, who was the key person involved in making the call to bring WWE back from Spike to USA at the end of 2005, is no longer in charge of NBC Universal and will now be in charge of the company's new streaming service in her new role of Chairman of Direct-to-Consumer and Digital Entertainment at NBCU.

[Franco Vazquez]

They need to have at least one of those NXT guys appear today

[ClockShot]

BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

[slik]

Vince is here

[ClockShot]

The Boss is in the building.

Probably pissed he couldn't kill off AEW.

[Dark One]

I'm here until I decide the show is intolerable and go play Yakuza 3.

Which I suspect will be whenever the Nia and Tamina tag match is, jesus christ

[Franco Vazquez]

The Boss is in the building.

Probably pissed he couldn't kill off AEW.

Calm yo tits down. It hasn't even started it and it could end before it even starts because Football team of Shad is getting relegated this season which means they will endure losses.

[ClockShot]

Awww. Just cut your losses now and go play Yakuza 3. Good stuff.

[RP]

GUYS???? What time does AEW start???

[Dark One]

Awww. Just cut your losses now and go play Yakuza 3. Good stuff.

I've got plenty of time for Yakuza and three more Yakuzas after it. I mean, this show is probably going to bore me to death real quick, but figured it was worth a shot.

[ClockShot]

That is a packed backstage.

[Dark One]

I feel like Rikishi is about to hit Braun with a car.

[ClockShot]

Elias with a musical clue.

[Franco Vazquez]

Elias should have been at least IC champion by now.

[Dark One]

Braun about to get fired for fucking up Vince's Limo

[ClockShot]

Ruh-roh.

[Dark One]

I'll give them credit, solid foreshadowing by having Vince make the drive buff out a mark twice.

[rez]

Lol

[slik]

Who will replace Braun at the RR

Balor? Seth?

[A.J.K]

decent opener for once.

[rez]

Who will replace Braun at the RR

Balor? Seth?


Kenny Omega


Lolol just kidding. #AEW

[A.J.K]

Who will replace Braun at the RR

Balor? Seth?

Balor's Teasing himself vs Taker at Mania.

[KIRA]

Get well soon LARS

[ClockShot]

Braun: "Vince. I can totally fix this!"

[ClockShot]

Well, Royal Rumble just got a little less interesting.

[Emperor Smeat]

Someone needs to contact Dr Shelby for Braun since he has some serious anger issues.

[xrodmuc316]

NEW ERA!!! Vince overreacting and punishing wrestlers lol

[KIRA]

Hold on I get not being able to legit tip an ambulance over at those things are really heavy but Bruan can't even tip over a limo without help

[Dark One]

I'm here until I decide the show is intolerable and go play Yakuza 3.

Which I suspect will be whenever the Nia and Tamina tag match is, jesus christ

Well shit

[xrodmuc316]

GUYS???? What time does AEW start???

This is even funnier the first 14 times you have made this post...

[slik]

Nia here to move that ratings needle

[Franco Vazquez]

Lars Sullivan ain't gonna debut now lol. Imagine bullying mental illness patients only to get mentally ill yourself.

[ClockShot]

Well shit

Told ya.

[xrodmuc316]

Lars Sullivan ain't gonna debut now lol. Imagine bullying mental illness patients only to get mentally ill yourself.

I get WWE being cool with Mauro, and even spinning it as they tend to do to make themselves look progressive.

That being said, how can they trust Lars in any kind of real push knowing he might bail on them at any moment.

[Dark One]

Nia here to move that ratings needle

Gravitational pull does not work on the ratings needle

[KIRA]

Heavy machinery vs Nia Jax and Tamina make it happen

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if Bayley is fuming backstage at Sasha suddenly ditching her for Ronda as her new best pal. Just one step closer to the revival of SwitchBayley.


Nia here to move that ratings needle
Yeah southwards if her recent stuff is any indication.

[KIRA]

Lars Sullivan ain't gonna debut now lol. Imagine bullying mental illness patients only to get mentally ill yourself.

I didn't know he was bullying anybody

[GD]

Is the fine a bit too much?

[rez]

Pharmaceutical commercials are so fucked up

[A.J.K]

On the topic of call-ups, where does everyone think each one should go.

Lacey Evans - Raw
EC3 - Smackdown
Heavy Machinery - Smackdown
Lars - not sure
Nikki Cross - Raw

is what i'd like to see happen.

[GD]

Wonder if Bayley is fuming backstage at Sasha suddenly ditching her for Ronda as her new best pal. Just one step closer to the revival of SwitchBayley.

I am expecting Bayley to cost Sasha Banks her title opportunity at the Rumble, leading to a singles match at Mania.

[RP]

I'd clean Nia's unwiped ass with my tongue just to get a taste of Alexa Bliss.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Between flubbing his lines last week and not making it back in time for the Rumble, I do wonder what this does to Braun's standing in the company? Obviously he can't help being hurt, but he was expected back for TLC, then it was Rumble, now he is missing that.

[slik]

Are...they...showing a movie preview...in the middle of a fucking match

[Emperor Smeat]

Another commercial break for this women's tag match. How is WWE still this terrible with handling commercials.

[GD]

I didn't know he was bullying anybody

Also publicly admitting to shagging to the boss's video.

[erickman]

Another commercial break for this women's tag match. How is WWE still this terrible with handling commercials.

but they have to push glass

[ClockShot]

A raging bull would love Charly Caruso right now.

[RP]

Sasha Banks is pretty damn hot right now.

[KIRA]

You know what would be a great storyline Bailey getting jealous for Ronda Rousey stealing her woman

[ClockShot]

Charly get out of the combat zone!

[RP]

This is a pretty damn good back and forth between Sasha and Ronda. I'm hyped for this.

[slik]

Ronda w/ the Gee Golly face role is a bad take

[rez]

Classy loser

[KIRA]

Rhonda is reminding me of Kurt Angle right now I don't know something about her face

[Dark One]

Really enjoyed that Sasha/Ronda post-match interaction

[ClockShot]

The King.

In his trademark ugly shirt.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ronda w/ the Gee Golly face role is a bad take

Yeah, she's pretty bad at it. Made the whole post-match promo stuff a lot more awkward than it should have been.

[KIRA]

What the hell what is this Goody Two-Shoes Rhonda

[rez]

Vince asking the king for his loyalty. Aew

[KIRA]

Is good to see where Jerry Lawler ranks on McMahon's priorities list right down here with no way Jose and his gang of meth heads

[xrodmuc316]

That is the most NXT Sasha that she has been on the main roster and I love it.

I hope they let her be this version going forward.

[xrodmuc316]

Is good to see where Jerry Lawler ranks on McMahon's priorities list right down here with no way Jose and his gang of meth heads

I did laugh at Graves asking aloud if King is trying to get the title match with Brock

[A.J.K]

Lol at the line-up. Rhyno and slater, hawkins , Apollo and the B-Team.

[RP]

One of the worst nights I had in 2018 was when i felt down on my luck and found Ruby Riot's nudes and masturbated

[rez]

Shouldn't Sarah be on a honeymoon having hot Viking sex

[A.J.K]

Lacey as Nattie and Bayley's partner?

[slik]

This show is dogshit already

[xrodmuc316]

LOL are they shitting us?

This is the same match that we saw 3 weeks in a row that was partially responsible for the fan backlash and led to the "New Era" angle.

Not even a month later and they are BACK to this match again?

[erickman]

still in ftr trunks

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder how long till WWE realizes what the "F" means on the Revival's "#FTR" gear.

[A.J.K]

EC3!!!!!!!

[RP]

That was the worst TV debut ever.

[Dark One]

Wow,

THey think so little of the Revival they're interrupting the match FOR CURT HAWKIN AND APOLLO CREWS PROMOS

[xrodmuc316]

WOW that is worse than debuting EC3 on Main Event.

Him just standing there smiling, not saying anything lol.

WWE needs to fire the entire writing staff and start over.

[KIRA]

Apollo Crews vs Brock Lesnar might actually be a good match......lmao he thinks he has a chance that's cute

[GD]

EC3 :rofl:

[Emperor Smeat]

Both tag matches so far got the split screen treatment which just shows how much Vince still hates tag wrestling. Even Ronda who is their biggest mainstream star got that treatment for her tag match.

:lol: at the random EC3 backstage shot as his RAW debut.

[xrodmuc316]

I want Jack Swagger and JBL back as a tag team just beating up luchas.

[RP]

I'm hoping something shocking happens like Roman Reigns is ready to come back or something and he faces Brock at RR

[KIRA]

Wait a minute that's how they're going to debut EC3?
Also good job beating the White Ranger Revival

[GD]

I want Kalisto and Rey Mysterio to have some interaction during the Rumble match.

[Evil Vito]

Temptation Island looks like the dumbest show ever

Yet some of the girls in it seem pretty fappable

[RP]

No please no. Not John Cena. Not that hair. Please no.

[A.J.K]

This just got interesting.

[slik]

DID U KNOW GLASS COMES OUT FRIDAY!??

[rez]

Maybe they'll cut off Vince & Cena for commercial

[slik]

Jawwwwwwn Cena

[slik]

Please not Cena vs Brock

[rez]

Universal Championship*, Cena

[RP]

John Cena has a small role in Glass. He's a super hero. His power is that they cant see him.


( i had to )

[Emperor Smeat]

Ummm doesn't Orton also have some Ruthless Aggression lying around considering he's from that era as well.

[RP]

I would love Finn Balor vs Brock

[Dark One]

Really enjoyed the RUTHLESS AGGRESSION callback and the "your time is up, my time is now" burn

[KIRA]

I wonder how hard Vince is trying not to c** in his pants looking at Drew McIntyre

[slik]

Finn got a bigger pop than Cena

[KIRA]

Vince is looking old AF

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Finn getting beaten up after wanting to show Vince how tough he was.

[rez]

The Cena. 2019's hottest hairstyle

[A.J.K]

A Triple Threat and a Fatal Four Way both

[RP]

Anyone willing to bet the 3rd partner in this six woman tag ISNT Ember Moon?

[A.J.K]

Going to take a guess and say Nikki Cross or Lacy Evans for the mystery partner.

[KIRA]

It's just guarantees McEntire ain't going to win this

[slik]

I wonder if Nikki or Lacey will debut

[xrodmuc316]

Id enjoy Brock vs any of them but Corbin.

[slik]

Sarah Paulson getting promo on RAW

[KIRA]

SmackDown needs Nikki cross RAW can have Lacey Evans since Smackdown already has a Charlotte Flair

[Dark One]

Really waiting for Vince to just go "Who are you again?"

[A.J.K]

:rofl:

[Dark One]

Does ABT know he's missing Liv's walk right now?

[GD]

Jinder talks like every other desi guy I know.

[Emperor Smeat]

Really waiting for Vince to just go "Who are you again?"

So only need to wait till they shoot a backstage catering segment with Zack Ryder.

[rez]

No longer want to see Glass

[A.J.K]

NIKKI CROSS!!!!!

[RP]

I'm happy Nikki Cross gets a proper debut

[Dark One]

Sanity is on Smackdown, so let's put Nikki Cross on Raw as a face

THE ALL NEW MONDAY NIGHT RAW

[Dark One]

"They're going to be appearing on both shows"

All right then.

[RP]

Is Daphne too old to bring back to team with Nikki Cross?

[A.J.K]

Sanity is on Smackdown, so let's put Nikki Cross on Raw as a face

THE ALL NEW MONDAY NIGHT RAW

Rene just said that the call ups will be in matches on raw and smackdown until they decide who goes where.

[Dark One]

Did they make-up cannon Nikki Cross too?

[KIRA]

Goddamnit

[rez]

Nikki needs herself a David Flair & Crowbar

[GD]

Sanity is on Smackdown, so let's put Nikki Cross on Raw as a face

THE ALL NEW MONDAY NIGHT RAW

They're free agents for now.

[RP]

Nikki Cross has retard strength right now.

[KIRA]

Did they make-up cannon Nikki Cross too?

Nicky's whole thing is looking like she got hit with the makeup Cannon

[A.J.K]

Nikki reminds me of Daffney.

[RP]

I hope Nikki Cross turns out to be Eugene's daughter.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wait, the new callups still don't have an actual home yet.

On one hand, at least someone else besides Cena and Brie Bella get to jump around brands but on the other hand, that means Creative still don't have any real plans for them.

[KIRA]

Nikki like crazed elf

[A.J.K]

Going to take a guess and say Nikki Cross or Lacy Evans for the mystery partner.

[KIRA]

Okay this raw does feel like it's been on for an eternity so I guess it's not a good show although I am loving Nikki cross

[slik]

It's 'just ok'

I predict a rating between 2.2 - 2.5 (last week was 2.3, started at 2.6 and dropped to 2.0 by hour 3)

[Dark One]

Okay this raw does feel like it's been on for an eternity so I guess it's not a good show although I am loving Nikki cross

There's a lot of retreads and "kill me now" type matches, but at least some stuff seems to be happening this week so far. Braun being pulled and a new #1 contender being announced, Sasha and Ronda's feud going from respect to disdain, etc.

[KIRA]

The 20-something year-old juvenile delinquent

[KIRA]

Looking back Natalia slick stepped up last year

[A.J.K]

Lacey Evans backstage

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at even Lacey got the random backstage shot for her debut.

WWE might as well just show a random shot of the arena outside and have Heavy Machinery stroll by in bicycles.

Okay it is something

[KIRA]

Its Ban-err Dean

[slik]

Balor getting the super underdog push tonight makes me happy bc he'll prob face Brock

[RP]

It really should be Finn Balor vs Brock but i know WWE dont have the balls for that.

[KIRA]

What happened to the other Singh brother

[rez]

Raw over?

Oh, it's back

[rez]

What happened to the other Singh brother

Braun threw him into space

[A.J.K]

Obviously Finn wasn't going to lose to jinder.

[Dark One]

lol, everyone had a nickname but Corbin

[Emperor Smeat]

After hearing how the sirens were added to Guerrillas of Destiny theme at Wrestle Kingdom 13, that is how WWE should have done the sirens for Dean's theme.

Would sound way better and come off as way less annoying.

[rez]

Miller Lite good, cigarettes bad

[tman220]

I'll guess that Cena is last man against Finn Balor and Lars causes him to loose to set up his WM match

[KIRA]

Well at least Marty jannetty got to keep his hair

[KIRA]

Thank God he stopped wearing that stupid sweatband on his head it doesn't work if you don't have any hair

[KIRA]

This company spends so much time building up Roman Reigns they virtually ignored everybody else you think they would have thought about a business model in which they have a viable Back-up Plan you know just in case something happened but now they're scrambling for top face

[RP]

THE NEW ERA!!!!!!!!!!

[Sepholio]

Curt Hawkins should be the #1 contender. Braun comes down, murders Brock, and Curt ends his streak to become Universal Champion.

[dronepool]

Dean Ambrose doing his best Bane impression again.

[Sixx]

I was about to ask who's the cunt in a fur jacket.

THAT IS DEAN AMBROSE?

[Sepholio]

Braun gonna win the Rumble now.

[Evil Vito]

Raw should be off the air now. 3 hours is too damn long.

[Sepholio]

Does the arena look kinda hazy to anyone else?

[dronepool]

Bobby's pain in the ass guy pulled a Miles Morales

[Dark One]

Dear WWE Shop: That's not how you spell Almighty

At least I'm pretty sure they spelled it All Mighty on Lio's shirt

[Sixx]

Dean AMbrose looks terrible.

[dronepool]

People made Bane memes with Ambrose the first time he wore that.

[KIRA]

Speaking of terrible Seth Rollins is looking a little soft in the midsection maybe I'm just seeing things

[rez]

This is not Elite

[RP]

Guys what time does AEW come on?

[slik]

I'm bored again

[dronepool]

https://411mania.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Dean-Ambrose-Bane-645x370.jpg

[rez]

I too would like to know

[rez]

I wonder how many peeps showed up with AEW merch on

[KIRA]

https://411mania.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Dean-Ambrose-Bane-645x370.jpg

I'm still betting Vince has just now seen that movie

[Sixx]

What's with the gas mask anyway?

[Sepholio]

I just gotta say that Bobby sold that enziguri really really well. Maybe one of the best sells of that move I've ever seen.

[Sepholio]

There's your different.

[RP]

IT'S WHAT THE FANS WANT!

[Dark One]

Huh

[Sixx]

who is the bitch on commentary?

[xrodmuc316]

Good, get the IC title away from this fued

[rez]

*wins matter* does not live here

[Emperor Smeat]

Pretty much a waste of an IC reign for Ambrose.


This company spends so much time building up Roman Reigns they virtually ignored everybody else you think they would have thought about a business model in which they have a viable Back-up Plan you know just in case something happened but now they're scrambling for top face

Outside of the Attitude Era, that's pretty much been Vince's motto since he bought the company from his dad. Supposedly hates having to pay multiple people top star money and only reason it finally came back to bite him was due to how much they neglected the midcard during the Cena era.

[Triple A]

smh @ "All Mighty"

[KIRA]

What's with the gas mask anyway?

Some garbage about him not wanting to catch diseases from a fans it didn't make any f****** sense I'm glad he stopped

[slik]

Boring Lashley

[Sepholio]

So are Dean and Seth going to keep feuding or is Seth going to suddenly feud with Bobby?

[RP]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

ITS WHAT THE RP WANTS!

[xrodmuc316]

OMG BEST ANGLE EVER!!!!! NAKED ALEXA =)

[RP]

MY PENIS JUST PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE!

[rez]

Lol

[Sixx]

Some garbage about him not wanting to catch diseases from a fans it didn't make any f****** sense I'm glad he stopped

Even for WWE, that's incredibly stupid

[KIRA]

Why is Alexa Bliss just randomly topless

It's what RP craves

[Triple A]

Interesting @ backstage segment only done to make people horny... Is the Attitude era back..............?

[RP]

Why is Alexa Bliss just randomly topless

ITS THE NEW ERA!

[Dark One]

Vince McMahon's property being destroyed, Vince taking away a face's opportunity, and Alexa's bare back?

We truly are back in the Attitude Era

Interesting @ backstage segment only done to make people horny... Is the Attitude era back..............?



Well...there was the Mandy Rose in a towel thing

MAH man

[Bad News Gertner]

Can't wait for the Lingerie Pillow Fight!

As much as I like Sarah Paulson, I can't handle any more GLASS promos

Enough

Lawler was there. Let's see some puppies!

[RP]

I think i just impregnated my own mouth

[Sixx]

This is my first stream in god knows how long.

Cheers!

[slik]

They have promoted GLASS more than The Royal Rumble

[A.J.K]

Women's Tag Titles.

[rez]

Jesus lol. Those titles are cheap as shit looking

[Emperor Smeat]

Women's tag belts look way better than both set of Men's tag belts.

[Dark One]

As much as I like Sarah Paulson, I can't handle any more GLASS promos

Enough

Which of these is worse

1) WRESTLEMANIA, THE ULTIMATE THRILLRIDE
2) SURVIVOR SERIES, WHERE FANTASY WARFARE JUST GOT REAL
3) SURVIVOR SERIES, THE ONE TIME A YEAR WHERE RAW AND SMACKDOWN FACE OFF IN HEAD TO HEAD COMPETITION
4) GLASS IS COMING

[RP]

Is Paul Heyman gonna fit in that chair?

[Sixx]

SO the bitch goes from topless to long sleeve?

Fuck off and go back backstage.

[Dark One]

Jesus lol. Those titles are cheap as shit looking

Jesus lol. Those titles are cheap as shit looking

They fucking look like POGS.

[RP]

I want Alexa to piss yeast in my mouth.

[Sixx]

Heyman is not the same without the ponytail.

He used to look like a cheap car salesman.

[rez]

Maybe it's the angle/lighting. They appear to be printed

[Triple A]

Thinking about when the XFL kept hyping up that they were going to show naked cheerleaders in the locker room during halftime on NBC

SURPRISE ENTRANT KENNY OMEGA

[Triple A]

who was he?

Otis Dozovic from the tag team Heavy Machinery (they were on NXT but are being "called up" to the main roster)

[Sixx]

Otis Dozovic from the tag team Heavy Machinery (they were on NXT but are being "called up" to the main roster)

I googled images of him.

He should still be looking like this:


https://i.imgur.com/16keXLt.jpg

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems the whole reason behind the NXT callups getting to work both brands for the time being is due to the Lars situation and something that possibly involved Heavy Machinery recently.

Cena still hasn't cut his ridiculous hair?

And why does the bald dude dress for a match like he was going to an office meeting?

[slik]

lol at Otis looking at Alexa and screaming "I'm Coming"

[slik]

Why do they keep saying "The Royal Rumble Event" and not just "The Royal Rumble"

[Sixx]

Did that Drew guy say "you can't unsee me"?

[RP]

Otis

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DqTaMfOWwAAGvmc.jpg

[Sixx]

Otis looks like if Brock Lesnar ate Brock Lesnar.

[Sixx]

His arms look too short for him to scratch his balls.

[Dark One]

Why do they keep saying "The Royal Rumble Event" and not just "The Royal Rumble"

Probably to separate the Royal Rumble (match) from the Royal Rumble (entire show). I'd argue that "Royal Rumble match" sounds less clunky, but this is also the company that refers to hospitals as "A LOCAL MEDICAL FACILITY" and blood as "that viscous material!"

So

You know, pick your battles and all that.

[RP]

I feel like Braun is going to come back and destroy everyone and remain in the match for RR. Vince will probably act like he was trying to make Braun a killer or something.
