The Ruien Returns to Raw Thread!

STINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[rez]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Triple A]

Why is Michael Cole talking over this...

[GD]

Sting :eek:

[Triple A]

Glad they are letting Lio Rush wrestle...

[Dark One]

I am extremely here for a full speed Lio Rush vs Finn Balor match

[slik]

Lio Rush and Finn Balor work well together

[GD]

Lio Rush having a competitive bout with Balor.

[Evil Vito]

They need to shoehorn “drop zone” into every Bálor match

[Evil Vito]

Good match tho

[GD]

Balor could've used 1916, just saying.

[GD]

That's not the 1916, Corey.

[Evil Vito]

How the fuck are The Ascension still employed?

[slik]

I wonder if Ric's birthday party will set up



HHH
vs
Batista



at WM?

[RP]

The stitches on Konnors lips dont make much sense because he keeps moving them.

[Droford]

the ascension is having a match on raw

[Dark One]

Otis is an angel.

You shut your whore mouths Ascension

[KIRA]

That's not the 1916, Corey.

It is now

[Droford]

ROBOCOP and Sting on the same night

*checks calendar*

[KIRA]

How the fuck are The Ascension still employed?

Konnor's glorious work ethic

[slik]

OTIS is gold

[slik]

Where did my dude Ruien go

[Evil Vito]

Glad Otis’ jacks says “Dozer” to remind me that they got rid of his cool last name .(

[rez]

Nash needs one last run with Otis just because Dozer and Diesel sounds fucking awesome.

[RP]

So far I give RAW a 8/10

[KIRA]

They're going to replay the whole opening in the second hour watch

[Droford]

LOL GMA using 2k19 graphic of roman

[RP]

Bobby Lashley has gotten really really good. His promo's. His everything has been really good.

[slik]

Lio vs Lashley at WM?

[RP]

Are they going to ring the bell?

[Droford]

Are they going to ring the bell?

no

[Evil Vito]

Better that than a boring ass Strowman/Lashley match

[KIRA]

Ooooook well that happened

[Emperor Smeat]

Mentioned it before but going to laugh soo hard if Lesnar somehow retains at Mania, especially now that Reigns is in the process for his in-ring return.

Right now the Rollins-Lesnar feud doesn't really feel that special or worthy of a high profile Mania spot.

[Evil Vito]

BAH GAWD FIFI HAS RETURNED!!!

[KIRA]

BAH GAWD FIFI HAS RETURNED!!!

Is her name really Fifi that is unfortunate if it is

[Droford]

Is her name really Fifi that is unfortunate if it is

its wendy

Becky Ronda and Charlotte feels like the match that's going to end the show honestly

[Droford]

Becky Ronda and Charlotte feels like the match that's going to end the show honestly

Ronda quit and Becky's bound to get deported

They got some serious work to do to get there

[slik]

Monday Night Recap

[rez]

Is AEW or this Flair celebration first

[Emperor Smeat]

Becky Ronda and Charlotte feels like the match that's going to end the show honestly

Yeah that would be the smart thing to do which is something WWE struggles to do most of the time.

Only match I'd argue for equal status is Bryan-Kofi if WWE had the balls to do it at Mania.

Rollins-Lesnar just feels lifeless as a big feud because WWE is pretty much just treading water and Rollins' Rumble win felt pretty anti-climatic.

[RP]

" You dressed him didnt you? "

ROFL

[KIRA]

50/50 booking says Dean Ambrose is going to win this one although since he's on the way out they may just job him again

[KIRA]

2 belts? is Dean Ambrose a 90s comic book hero all he's missing is 10000 pouches

[Emperor Smeat]

Kind of funny that right when it looked like WWE actually had something for EC3 to do, he got quickly tossed to the side in favor of Drew for what could be Ambrose's last WWE feud.

EC3's call-up class might be the most cursed one in NXT history.

[Droford]

EC3 has a chance if he goes to SmackDown unfortunately Aleister black I don't know it could go either way I don't think Vince McMahon likes him very much and Ricochet is actually okay right where he is for now DIY I have a feeling that they are going to be stuck together for a long time like Owens and Zayn if they get split up unfortunately I don't see Gargano going too far if he stays on Raw but I see tommaso ciampa being a fantastic heel if they just let him do what he does best
Lacey Evans is probably the safest one with the highest possibility of success She's Everything Vince McMahon drools over tall and blond and she can actually wrestle so that's a bonus for the people

[rez]

You would think Vince would wank to EC3 but wasn't built in the WWE so squash.

[RP]

You would think Vince would wank to EC3 but wasn't built in the WWE so squash.

He's related to that one bitch that used to run TNA.

[rez]

FUCK, if the whole Dean contract up and leaving is a work you'd think creative could somehow make him interesting...build around it....nope. Story line that shit.

Vince won't because he won't acknowledge a rival organization even if it could benefit him.

[GD]

I really want Seth and Roman to make the save when Dean gets annihilated by McIntyre and gang.

[Droford]

He's related to that one bitch that used to run TNA.

kayfabes not dead

[RP]

I dont want to give Pritchard credit, but this RAW has been great.

[Droford]

lol if the shield reunites

[RP]

Yusssssssssssssssssss

[Dark One]

Dean's last night on Raw is going to be a 47 on 1 "loser stays" gauntlet match where he gets pinned one by one by the entire Raw roster.

[rez]

Yeahh....Bruce must have came in and squashed that whole crap

[RP]

Dean still dead btw

[Dark One]

Damn. Roman's been back 90 minutes and he's already burying dudes.






THIS IS A JOKE.

[Droford]

Rollins turned on seth and roman

shield reformed

Ambrose turned on Seth

Shield reformed

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the random Shield reunion moment.

Wonder if Reigns is going to ask for an apology from Ambrose on what he said about his leukemia a few weeks ago.

[Dark One]

GO BACK AND FIST HIM

[A.J.K]

Rollins turned on seth and roman

shield reformed

Ambrose turned on Seth

Shield reformed

Now it's Roman's turn.

[rez]

"I'm here to save Vince and WWE once a fucking 'gain"

[Evil Vito]

Roman/Dean/Braun/Angle vs Drew/Corbin/Lashley/Elias at Mania

Quite a clusterfuck

[KIRA]

y just going to leave their boy laying

[KIRA]

I dont want to give Pritchard credit, but this RAW has been great.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not I think it's been not horrible

[rez]

y just going to leave their boy laying

to clean up creative's mess. they won't trust each other at first but will eventually after Dean sacrifices himself or something

[Emperor Smeat]

EC3 has a chance if he goes to SmackDown unfortunately Aleister black I don't know it could go either way I don't think Vince McMahon likes him very much and Ricochet is actually okay right where he is for now DIY I have a feeling that they are going to be stuck together for a long time like Owens and Zayn if they get split up unfortunately I don't see Gargano going too far if he stays on Raw but I see tommaso ciampa being a fantastic heel if they just let him do what he does best
Lacey Evans is probably the safest one with the highest possibility of success She's Everything Vince McMahon drools over tall and blond and she can actually wrestle so that's a bonus for the people

Ricochet, Ciampa, Black, and Gargano supposedly are a separate class according to the sheets.

Do agree on Lacey being the likely to succeed the most since she does fits Vince's ideal preferences for a woman wrestler and the rumors of him already considering her a top 3 woman star.

[KIRA]

You would think Vince would wank to EC3 but wasn't built in the WWE so squash.

His promo video certainly seemed like it was built for Vince to do just that

[Droford]

I wonder if they forgot they dont have an over run

[slik]

Highlight of RAW is easily Roman being healthy and cancer-free
The rest of the show has been a bit boring for me so far, The Bruce Pritchard era not off to a running start.

REMINDER: WrestleMania is 5 RAWs after tonight

[Evil Vito]

Just enough time to squeeze out one more line of Shield merch before Dean leaves.

[KIRA]

Nia Jax still having a job in this company is astounding

[rez]

At least he's not changing commentator scripts mid show. I think he needs more than one show but the show "seems" to be flowing better already.

[Evil Vito]

Nia Jax still having a job in this company is astounding

Being related to The Rock is awesome

[Droford]

Being related to The Rock is awesome

cant wait for the nia jax movie

[rez]

They need to get rid of Lacey's gimmick. It's dumb and doesn't work, imo.

[KIRA]

See this right here is when you need to turn into switchblade baley

[RP]

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not I think it's been not horrible

No i'm being dead serious. It's at a 7/10 atm for me. I've been interested. I hope it ends great.

[A.J.K]

i'd honestly take a stinkface from Nia and Tamina

[rez]

About fucking time. 15 minutes for Ric's bday bash

[RP]

Everything they've done makes sense and hasnt been weird and has been simple but great tonight. And i'm ok with it.

[rez]

If there's New Day w/ cake or pancakes. I'M DONE

[Evil Vito]

Yeah this last segment is gonna be really rushed unless they were granted an overrun again.

[KIRA]

Here comes the post with Nia Jax complaining about how the company treats her bad because she's a minority and completely ignoring it when somebody points out that neither Sasha nor Bailey are white

[RP]

i'd honestly take a stinkface from Nia and Tamina

Me too. Nia with 40 day old dirty bloodstained undies right in my face. Sign me up man. I'm all in.

[slik]

They need to get rid of Lacey's gimmick. It's dumb and doesn't work, imo.

Lacey is rumored to face Asuka at WM

[KIRA]

All right I don't think I'm going to stick around for Ric Flair's 98 birthday party

[A.J.K]

We shall see if this plants the seed for HHH vs Batista.

[rez]

Lacey is rumored to face Asuka at WM

Well, they better stop treating her as a blonde Eva Marie and put her in a story line soon. Who cares..it'll probably be a pre show match anyways. :rant:

[Droford]

About fucking time. 15 minutes for Ric's bday bash

more like 10

[Evil Vito]

Fucking hilarious that they flew so many people in for a 10 minute segment

[Emperor Smeat]

What was the last WWE party that didn't end in shenanigans of some sorts?

Rock's birthday a few years ago when WWE held it on-screen?

[RP]

I feel like Triple H has piggy backed his meaning to Ric Flair and one day we'll find out that Flair actually hated him.

[Dark One]

This has to end with Becky breaking out of jail and putting Flair(s) in an armbar right?

[Droford]

RAW is here on friday night lol

[A.J.K]

Wonder if this will set up

Batista vs HHH

[RP]

This will probably turn into Becky crashing the party and Charlotte beating the shit out of her.

[Evil Vito]

I’ve read no spoilers but Woken Anthony has already mentioned Batista twice so I’m guessing he’s there. Cunt.

[GD]

Ciampa standing like a dunce amongst the sea of mid carders.

[Evil Vito]

LOL EC3 lost to Apollo on Main Event

[A.J.K]

I’ve read no spoilers but Woken Anthony has already mentioned Batista twice so I’m guessing he’s there. Cunt.

TPWW page reported Batista backstageat raw.

[RP]

Ciampa not selling anyone right now. GOOD JOB CIAMPA!

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Steamboat randomly chopping people on stage.

[slik]

Appropriately phallic balloons adorn the ring for Ric Flair

[RP]

Sting is fitting for sure. Shoulda wheeled fat Lex Luger out here too.

[RP]

Sting still the man tbh

[A.J.K]

:D

Stinger!!!

[Evil Vito]

Shane Helms sighting on stage

[RP]

Ciampa not selling this at all is the best fucking thing so far.

[RP]

They must have bought some overtime from USA tonight.

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE should have also gotten the Four Horsemen for this party.

[Evil Vito]

I will laugh my fucking ass off if USA says fuck the overrun at the last minute and cuts off the feed

[GD]

Sting acknowledging Roode

[RP]

COLTS FOOTAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[A.J.K]

WWE should have also gotten the Four Horsemen for this party.

:yes: and Bret too.

[GD]

Overtime or Network?

[Dark One]

SEVENTEEN TIME CHAMP

[RP]

OMG SHE DID IT!

[Droford]

uhoh

[Evil Vito]

Batista!

Had no idea he was there!

Jk, Anthony gave it away

[RP]

LOL WHUT!

[Dark One]

BIG DAVE

[Dark One]

I thought it was gonna be Becky

BUT BIG DAAAAAVE

[RP]

OH SHIT!

[Emperor Smeat]

So umm does Flair owe Batista some money or what?

[A.J.K]

Called It!!!

[Dark One]

BIG DAVE!!!!!

[Evil Vito]

Ban Woken Anthony

[Dark One]

DRAX IS GONNA FUCK Y'ALL UP

[Dark One]

TRIPLE H GONNA NEED THE INFINITY GAUNTLET

[Droford]

oh jesus were gonna get Becky/Batista vs HHH/Steph

[RP]

Wowwwwww Great RAW! 8/10

[GD]

Wasn't expecting the "Big Gold" belt to make an appearance on WWE programming in 2019.

[GD]

BIG DAVE!

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Triple H's random face turn after doing the recent Authority stuff with Becky.

[rez]

WWE should have also gotten the Four Horsemen for this party.

Well, not after letting AA go...

[slik]

Trips vs Tista is on

[Evil Vito]

I’m down for Batista/HHH with Batista as the heel

Heeltista for life

[GD]

It would've been more fun if some of you hadn't spoiled it. Just saying.

[rez]

I don't condone dragging a 70 year old man out like that unless it's Vince.

the last 5 months officially didnt happen

[rez]

or Terry Funk

[RP]

Best ending of a RAW in a while and i hate Batista, but whatever. It was great.

[RP]

Damn dudes. That was a RAW I havent seen in a while. I was thinking Becky was gonna do the attack. I knew there would be an attack. I just thought it was Becky. It wasnt, it was Batista. Good job WWE.

[Droford]

so 6 days before Roman announces he has cancer Batista sorta kinda challenged HHH and then same night roman is back and batista vs hhh is gonna happen

[slik]

RAW was just ok for me. The opening was memorable bc Roman doesn't have cancer anymore. Not looking forward to him being pushed down our throats again, at all.

Ending was good. Rest of the show was just so-so for me.

[RP]

I'm a big RAW hater and WWE hater so.... When I say I think this was one the the best RAW's, I personally mean it. You dont have to agree. I'm gonna try to break this down.

No... No Way Jose

No.. Mojo

No... Lucha dumbshit

Everything was to the point and had an end to it's means. The only open thing I can think of was Corbin's words towards Reigns. And the Ronda vs Riott Squad junk. Corbins's stuff in which obviously sets up as a match. Everything else made so much sense. Bobby Lashley and Braun were kept good without either taking a fall. And it worked. Shield came out to help Dean, but it wasnt a lovefest total reunion, which was perfect IMO. The women's tag match.... ehhh who gives a fuck. And than the end... I honestly thought Becky was coming back to kill the show, but it was Batista... and it was FUCKING GREAT! And i hate Batista btw. I've always hated him! But that ending was fantastic!

[Droford]

flairs 30 for 30 is on espn

[RP]

If you dont understand why that was a great wall, then YOU'RE out of touch, not the WWE.

For the first time in a long long time, that was a great RAW.

( Ronda needs works still on that mic. )

[Droford]

worst part is..I dont really care about batista vs HHH in 2019

like..whatever...big dave isnt staying around who cares if he wins or loses

[RP]

And if you dont think that was a great RAW, please tell us all your definition of a great RAW, or please stfu.

[RP]

worst part is..I dont really care about batista vs HHH in 2019

like..whatever...big dave isnt staying around who cares if he wins or loses


Neither one of them are though. Neither one factor in to the storylines going in to the future so it really dont matter... ( Unless they make it the Main Event.... then its a fucking tragic story. )

[Droford]

thats why im worried becky and steph get shoehorned into the match

[rez]

I'm an SDL! man myself but that was probably the best WWE show in a while.

[RP]

thats why im worried becky and steph get shoehorned into the match

dude. Wrestlemania is about to be 8 hours long. They are trying to fill shit right now. Trust me, HHH vs Batista is just a small fragment of there card. They are gonna milk us viewers for everything.

[Theo Dious]

It would've been more fun if some of you hadn't spoiled it. Just saying.

You know what, it's 2019, jackass. If you don't want spoldrs stay off the fucking Internet, especially wrestling sites. Cunt.

[rez]

Insane Clown Posse just dropped a new album. I hate to defend them but they should go in the HOF. Wrestlers in ECW, WWE, & WCW + JCW. Concerts on the shows, etc. *shrug*

[rez]

Next year!

Big Van Vader
ICP
Wolfpac

oh wait..nm NWO isn't in yet

Probably a safe bet its already a lock for one of the "main event" tier matches and/or longest on the card since its a Triple H Mania match.

I understand both arguments but Theo was a little out of line. I'm sorry, Theo. I hope you both can come to terms.

[The MAC]

So did cancer get Roman over?

[xrodmuc316]

Heel Batista is the best Batista.

I am sure Hunter will go over since he will be playing the babyface role, which is absurd in itself when he is a heel in the Becky storyline, but it is what it is.

At least it will have a good backstory and Batista is a big enough star outside of the WWE that they will get bang for their buck. Hell, maybe WWE will actually promote Batistas Marvel movie this time. Also, Dune is probably going to be an awesome movie.

Team Batista!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

WRAP

IT

UP

This is terrible.

[ClockShot]

Buzzed through the results on the main page.

So, Dancin' Dave took the bait. Hunter vs. Batista at 'Mania.

Okay, I guess.

[erickman]

guess becky will still be in jail during smackdown

[Evil Vito]

Watching the last segment back, Sting during his entrance shakes hands with and acknowledges a bunch of people, but blows right past Seth Rollins who looks kinda uncomfortable.

I know Sting had publicly absolved Rollins of any wrongdoing for his career ending on a badly executed Buckle Bomb, but I felt like Sting was always going to say something like that because he's a company guy.

[Danny Electric]

I wonder if in the Heavy Machinery backstage bit Michael Cole said ‘These guys like to have...oh’

[rockman725]

Why do I have this sickening feeling that Roman will be added to the Lesnar/Rollins match so he can go over, win back the belt and get cheered doing so!?!

[RP]

Why do I have this sickening feeling that Roman will be added to the Lesnar/Rollins match so he can go over, win back the belt and get cheered doing so!?!

Probably. I'm sure Vince wants to capitalize on his cancer free cheer's. Typical Vince.

guess becky will still be in jail during smackdown

WWE should show her sitting in a cell and the cops teasing her

[Droford]

If big bossman wasnt dead...

[RP]

WWE should show her sitting in a cell and the cops teasing her

They should do one of those porn videos where she starts blowing the guards and getting DP'ed to get out of jail quicker.
