[Dark One]

THE ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA BEGINS FOR THE THIRD TIME... TONIGHT!

I can only assume that they will further complicate the Becky/Ronda/Charlotte story by revealing that Becky has to renew her work visa AND OH GOD CAN IT BE DONE BEFORE WRESTLEMANIA!?!?

[KIRA]

Vince: congratulations Becky you can go to WrestleMania but you first have to agree to fight THIS TRAINED RUSSIAN BEAR!(gay hairy Russian man)

[ClockShot]

The Shield get shoved down our throats, the Becky/Charlotte/Ronda love triangle gets more complicated, other stuff.

Uh huh.

[KIRA]

How much you want to bet that tonight THE SHIELD FAREWELL it's going to take up all 3 hours in terms of Storytelling

[GD]

Eager to see Big Dave come out without any pyro.

[KIRA]

Eager to see Big Dave come out without any pyro.

If there was ever anybody's intro that was castrated by the lack of pyro it's him

[Dark One]

How much you want to bet that tonight THE SHIELD FAREWELL it's going to take up all 3 hours in terms of Storytelling

I mean, I kind of hope it does? Historically when they've had some story take up all 3 hours, the Raw has been highly watchable compared to when they don't.

[GD]

If there was ever anybody's intro that was castrated by the lack of pyro it's him


I don't remember if they used pyro for his entrance with the spotlight.

Nope.

Rusev ....wait he's bulgarian

[slik]

Big Doggos of Justice

I predict Dean turns on Roman

[ClockShot]

Oh wait, Pittsburgh tonight?

Kurt Angle will surely have a match. Well, somewhat of a match.

[Emperor Smeat]

I mean, I kind of hope it does? Historically when they've had some story take up all 3 hours, the Raw has been highly watchable compared to when they don't.

They've been 50-50 on the last 2 times its happened.

Swung and miss on the show long storyline of if Becky was going to apologize to the Authority and hit it out of the park with the show long storyline of if Dean was going to fist Reigns and Rollins.

[Dark One]

He hasn't had a one on one match on Raw in 5 months

So he's going to face Baron Corbin because nothing has changed in those 5 months.

What dream?

Rollins has been champ before.

[Dark One]

They've been 50-50 on the last 2 times its happened in recent weeks.

Swung and miss on the show long storyline of if Becky was going to apologize to the Authority and hit it out of the park with the show long storyline of if Dean was going to fist Reigns and Rollins.

Ehhhh. I mean, I'd say the Becky thing at least get the show flowing well and thus made it more watchable even if they payoff was bad.

[ClockShot]

How busy, Renee?

What's his future plans?

[ClockShot]

Yea! Paulie here's to make it better.

[KIRA]

What dream?

Rollins has been champ before.

* through clenched teeth and a whisper* Shut up!

[Emperor Smeat]

Rollins needs some work on rolling his Rs for Brock Lesnar's name.

[ClockShot]

But, but, Seth's never dealt with big men before.

Which is why they put him against Lashley so he's ready for Lesnar.

[Sepholio]

This promo is coming off really.....odd. I dunno what it is.

[slik]

This promo is whatever

[ClockShot]

Paul's making points here.

A few times they swapped out opponents for Brock at the last minute. Only because the match would look and sound better.

[KIRA]

I.... I think I see what Paul Heyman is driving at....

Holy shit! Wow!

[Sepholio]

WTF

[ClockShot]

Hey Shelton. Fancy seeing you here.

[Emperor Smeat]

Brock Lesnar looks a lot different than the last time he was on tv.

Not sure if its the new pants or him spending way too much time working on a tan.

[Dark One]

OH SHIT, SHELTON LIVES AND FINALLY HAS A THING TO DO

[Dark One]

Wait

Is this because Vince wanted Bobby Lashley but called him Shelton

[KIRA]

Did not see that coming at all

[GD]

The Minnesota Stretching Crew connection :yes:

[slik]

At least Shelton was unexpected

[GD]

I forgot how big and strong Shelton Benjamin is for today's standards.

[ClockShot]

Anyway. Should be a solid match.

[ClockShot]

Camera side looks pretty full tonight.

[slik]

The last thing Seth needs to look strong against Brock is a 50:50 match against Shelton Benjamin

[slik]

But agreed, should be a good match

[ClockShot]

Audience must be seeing some good action while we're watching commercials.

Jealous.

[ClockShot]

SHUT UP, COLE! PAUL'S ON THE PHONE!

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Lesnar (via Heyman) making fun of WWE's production team.

[KIRA]

Look at Michael Cole growing a pair

[ClockShot]

We deserved better than that.

[ClockShot]

Oh, Drax is in the house?!

[Dark One]

He hasn't had a one on one match on Raw in 5 months

So he's going to face Baron Corbin because nothing has changed in those 5 months.

1 billion social media followers.

But they can't get that many on the WWE Network.

[slik]

GET ON WITH IT

[Emperor Smeat]

1 billion social media followers.

But they can't get that many on the WWE Network.

Real number is way, way, way smaller because of some Steiner Math and India and China providing the bulk of it even though the average WWE fan there can't afford the Network.

This first hour has been boring af

[ClockShot]

RING THE BELL! RING THE GODDAMN BELL!

[ClockShot]

Was expecting some Lio Rush hijinks.

But that was pretty funny.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the ending to the IC title match.

Pretty cool spear by Lashley though.

[Dark One]

Face slips on a banana peel for a loss

THE ALL NEW MONDAY NIGHT RAW

[KIRA]

Hey it's the reanimated corpse of Lio Rush

[Emperor Smeat]

Any momentum Balor had from his great Rumble match against Lesnar pretty much got squandered big time these past few weeks.

Lashley is so fucking boring

Finn Balor has been reset to his factory settings

[Dark One]

Anyone wanna take a guess on who's hosting WrestleMania next year?

:roll:

Steven Seagal.

[KIRA]

So what's the story we're going with him Becky has been faking the injury the whole time in order for her opponents to underestimate her so she can beat them at WrestleMania

[KIRA]

Steven Seagal.

He'll be too busy molesting really underage Asian girls

[ClockShot]

Colin MacGregor whiskey commercial.

How long before that gets pulled?

[ClockShot]

Yikes Ronda, slow down.

Got another 2 hours to fill.

[KIRA]

Some public speaking classes wouldn't have killed her or just let her say what she wants to say that seems to work out for her

[ClockShot]

Again, Ronda. Slow down. Take a breath.

[Emperor Smeat]

That was not a good promo by Ronda.

[erickman]

I like heel ronda

[ClockShot]

Poor Dana. About to get sacrificed.

[KIRA]

Who do we send out Dana Brooke come on

[Dark One]

I'm not sure Dana's who I'd choose to protect the business.

[KIRA]

That was not a good promo by Ronda.

Actually it was all right compared to what she's been doing

[KIRA]

I'm not sure Dana's who I'd choose to protect the business.

Naw she got this

[ClockShot]

Ouch, Dana. You alright?

[Dark One]

I mean, listen, if you want to someone to protect the business and take her out? Send out Nia Jax.

[slik]

I like Shelton and Dana but...I mean, WM is in 4 weeks....

[erickman]

dana knows her role

[slik]

Ronda is more likable as a heel than half the roster

[KIRA]

I feel bad that Dana didn't even get the somebody I love is dead push

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder who got the worst of that beating from Ronda, Dana or the ref who now has Ronda's hand-print on his face.

[Dark One]

Just think, if they were still doing the word art shit on screen, MOODY could flash across the screen right now.

[ClockShot]

Can Ricochet and Al split up and go back to solo matches?

Please?

[Emperor Smeat]

Can Ricochet and Al split up and go back to solo matches?

Please?

Got to wait till after they finish up things with the Dusty Tag Team Classic.

They made it to the Finals and are wrestling as a team at TakeOver: New York on April 5

[KIRA]

Oh God Ricochet and Aleister black got matching tight they're going to be together for a while

[Evil Vito]

A-legs-a Bliss

[GD]

So I just received a notification that Lashley is the new Intercontinental Champion. Feels uninspiring. Alexa's segments have been consistently awful.

[KIRA]

It's like this company has never heard the word subtlety bad blatant 1 billion followers plug made me want to kill someone mostly Alexa Bliss even though I know she's just a messenger

[GD]

lol Alexa Bliss with the terrible swerve

[Emperor Smeat]

So either Creative literally has nothing for Bliss to do or she really is hurt again even though she denies it.

The host reveal video was funny though.

[rez]

Bliss and dat ponytail mm

[erickman]

guess bliss will not wrestle for a while

[KIRA]

I don't think I've ever cared about anything less in my life that I care about whoever the hell these hosts are

Charlie really needs leukemia

[Dark One]

"What car?"

WHAT A CLIFFHANGER

[Mr. Nerfect]

Shelton Benjamin on Raw instantly makes this the best Raw in ages. That doesn’t mean it’s good, mind you.

[GD]

Charly Caruso's gimmick is no longer subtle.

[GD]

"What car?"

WHAT A CLIFFHANGER

Last week, they had Roman and Seth come out before the ad break. They stood on the ramp for the entire duration.

[Ruien]

Forgot Braun was around. Why isnt he on my screen more? He use to be like a third of the show.

[GD]

Are we getting "Demon" Balor versus Lashley at Mania?

[Dark One]

Really excited for Braun's Wrestlemania match against the two SNL geeks.

[GD]

Poor Strowman reduced to comedy

[Mr. Nerfect]

Braun Strowman isn’t very good, guys.

[Emperor Smeat]

Think Braun needs to go see Dr. Shelby to cure his anger issues towards cars.

[Triple A]

Worried about Braun Strowman injuring his hand like that time Goldberg injured his hand smashing a car

[GD]

That is one fragile car

[Mr. Nerfect]

Strowman might squash Elias at WrestleMania.

[Mr. Nerfect]

For comedy.

[GD]

Even the extra can lift the damn part...gimmicked car

[rez]

Was that a Hollywood prop car or what

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Elias

[Mr. Nerfect]

Strowman’s “stunts” have always been off-puttingly fake.

[erickman]

Worried about Braun Strowman injuring his hand like that time Goldberg injured his hand smashing a car

that's what I was thinking when he hit that window

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess Elias is not a fan of No Way Jose's new look.

[GD]

No Way Jose :nono:

[GD]

Was that a Hollywood prop car or what

Yep!

[KIRA]

Jose still a jobber with his new hair

[KIRA]

Stevie Ray was useless he's getting into the Hall of Fame solely on the back of his brother

HULK HOGAN! We comin' for you!

[GD]

Was looking up Lacy Evans' height and turns out Zelina is only 4'11"

[rez]

That was very rude of Evans. She needs to apologize to Renee

[Mr. Nerfect]

Reading this thread is making Raw sound incredibly boring. I’m sure it is. Other than Shelton.

[rez]

Cool for Stevie Ray. Loved him until he was an NWO jobber

[Dark One]

"We're on the freeway, a man has been attacked by a shark."

Wait. What.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Booker going in twice would make you think he was one of the best of all-time. Makes you wonder why the company never treated him like that.

[slik]

Very weird RAW...

[Dark One]

I don't know if Nattie and Nia have actually had many matches, but I feel like I've seen this match 40 times already.

Welcome to shows produced by Ryan Murphy, they are completely unpredictable

[xrodmuc316]

Wish Sister Sherri was included w/ Harlem Heat and became a two-time HOFr

I would be ok with that.

Wonder if they are still gonna go with the Hart Foundation as well. Then Bret and Jimmy will both be 2 time Hall of Famers as well.

Then again I wonder if Bret played hardball with them for Bulldog, and turned them down if they wouldn't include Davey Boy. I know Owen can't go in himself because of his wife, but they might be able to sneak him in like Chyna as a part of a group.

Pillman should go in with them as well, but I would understand him being left out being the rest are all family/brothers in law.

[Triple A]

Woman interviewing Zelina Vega is pretty..... horny @ women with "big noses" I think...

[Dark One]

Finlay fighting his urge to suplex Banks.

"MY NAME IS FINLAY... AND I LOVE TO FIGHT! But you four... cut that shit out. No fighting."

[Mr. Nerfect]

I was listening to SCG Radio’s rebooking the draft in 2002. It got me thinking, the bad timing of how they treated Booker might have actually been the best time to re-build him. Flair could have drafted him to SmackDown (Flair should have been on SmackDown) and either him or Arn give Booker a pep-talk about not having to fight against a system on their show, and instead being the Booker they know can carry the strap. After Rock and the nWo, he could have been the #3 draft pick for them. Rock was leaving and Booker could have saved him from an nWo beat-down and been the man on Smackers.

Eddie Guerrero could have been treated well there too, and then you’ve got two babyfaces who have an appeal to certain demographics. Eddie and Rey used to be draws for Hispanic audiences in network television, while Booker could have been the same for poorer kids who didn’t have access to cable. Make SmackDown the less “bourgie” show, as the kids say.

[KIRA]

I wish they were going back to Saudi Arabia this month just to see the Uproar back home

[Emperor Smeat]

I don't know if Nattie and Nia have actually had many matches, but I feel like I've seen this match 40 times already.

Somehow its only been 15 times in 4 years which is pretty amazing considering WWE's habit of running feuds and matchups to the ground.

WWE probably now going to make them wrestle against each other another 50 times to make up for that anomaly.

[xrodmuc316]

Booker going in twice would make you think he was one of the best of all-time. Makes you wonder why the company never treated him like that.

He did win 2 of his 6 World Titles in WWE. Yeah they could have done more with him, and him not winning at Mania 19 is still one of the biggest missed WWE has done, but of all the WCW wrestlers in the initial invasion, he is the only one they booked like a actual star.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Would much rather see Nattie & Beth challenge than the talentless fucks.

[Mr. Nerfect]

He did win 2 of his 6 World Titles in WWE. Yeah they could have done more with him, and him not winning at Mania 19 is still one of the biggest missed WWE has done, but of all the WCW wrestlers in the initial invasion, he is the only one they booked like a actual star.

They repeatedly fucked him. He was mid-card except for when he became comedy and cracked Vince up.

[GD]

Saliva baby!

[Emperor Smeat]

I'd laugh if Batista pulled a Lacey Evans and just walked to the back.

[Dark One]

Forgot how great Batista's theme was.

[rez]

Batista stole my sunglasses

[Mr. Nerfect]

I want Heel Batista to kill Face Triple H so bad.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I hope the crowd at Mania does the right thing and backs Big Dave.

[GD]

I hope the crowd at Mania does the right thing and backs Big Dave.

Really?

[Stickman]

Such a weird Raw. Goes to show there are no real stars right now.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Yes. Triple H’s ego is so fragile. “Bad Guy 101” outclassing him would be tremendous.

[GD]

Guardians of the independent scene :lol:

[slik]

Guardians of the Independent Scene LMAO

[Mr. Nerfect]

No interest in seeing Triple H and Batista actually wrestle, beyond the crowd reaction.

[Stickman]

I guess he got what he wanted

[Mr. Nerfect]

Actually wonder if they might make it a tag of some sort. Don’t know why I had that idea. Seems “safer.”

[Mr. Nerfect]

Batista has probably already fucked Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan since being “back.”

[xrodmuc316]

I would Mark out so hard if Batista just destroyed H in like 3 minutes!

[Dark One]

"You all know the three I's, Intensity, Integrity, and Intelligence.... But there's a fourth I: I STILL GOT A LOT LEFT IN THE TANK"

Just kidding, he's more duct tape than man.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Batista vs. Triple H will be boring, because Triple H insists on having epics even though he isn’t very good.

Kurt freakin' Angle baby!

[Mr. Nerfect]

I would Mark out so hard if Batista just destroyed H in like 3 minutes!

That is too beautiful to ever be reality in this company.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I’m curious at who Angle wrestles. More curious to that than the actual match itself.

[KIRA]

Hes gonna re-retire

[Mr. Nerfect]

Kind of see Kurt putting the effort of four men into it and putting out something surprisingly good.

[Dark One]

I'm glad Kurt gets a Mania farewell (until Vince pulls him from the match and subs in Shelton Benjamin)

[KIRA]

Well when he finally leaves at least I won't have to see that stupid glove anymore

[Mr. Nerfect]

I kind of wanted him to turn heel and kick it into gear for a dream match.

[Emperor Smeat]

Apollo Crews getting the honor of being Angle's final tv match is a really unexpected and weird surprise.

Guess on the bright side, at least its not Baron Corbin based on their recent history together.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I liked Angle’s old singlets more. I associate his new ones with TNA, which might make it harder to get into what he’s doing.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Angle must have selected Apollo Crews. No way they do that to him without his consent.

[GD]

Feel like the WWE has really dropped the ball on Drew McIntosh and Strowman.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The more I think about it, the more I am genuinely surprised WWE lets Angle wrestle at all, let alone on TV.

[Mr. Nerfect]

When was Triple H’s last Raw match? Was it against Curtis Axel in 2013?

[A.J.K]

Kurt vs HBK would be a fantastic way for him to go out.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Apparently Triple H beat Dolph Ziggler on Raw in March 2016.

[Dark One]

Well when he finally leaves at least I won't have to see that stupid glove anymore

Excuse me motherfucker, that's an American hero. You watch your whore mouth.

[Emperor Smeat]

Umm how can tonight be Reigns' in-ring return when he wrestled last night?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Kurt vs HBK would be a fantastic way for him to go out.

Yes, but also leave the memories alone.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Umm how can tonight be Reigns' in-ring return when he wrestled last night?

Because WWE think you’re dumb.

[A.J.K]

There will never be another Kurt Angle.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Angle vs. JINDER at WrestleMania.

[GD]

Apparently Triple H beat Dolph Ziggler on Raw in March 2016.

I remember that. He was the WWE World Heavyweight Champion at the time. Had a solid bout with Dean too.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lashley vs. Angle for the IC Title.

[GD]

Umm how can tonight be Reigns' in-ring return when he wrestled last night?

Because WWE think you’re dumb.

They did mention that it was his in-ring return to Monday Night RAW.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I remember that. He was the WWE World Heavyweight Champion at the time. Had a solid bout with Dean too.

This is when he had to insert himself into the main event of Mania that year because he just had to headline in front of their biggest crowd.

[Mr. Nerfect]

They did mention that it was his in-ring return to Monday Night RAW.

With conditions 65 and windy.

[Mr. Nerfect]

This is Roman Reigns’ return to in-ring action! In a state that begins with “M!”

[poopfromweiner dude]

anyone watching raw?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Nope. I’m just shit-talking in the thread.

[GD]

anyone watching raw?

nope...just a bunch of dudes docking

[Mr. Nerfect]

I genuinely prefer to not waste my time watching Raw than watching it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I made myself a smoothie and am now lying on my couch. There’s no reason I can’t watch Raw right now...I just don’t want to.

[Triple A]

Wish they would give Drew McIntyre a more in depth personality than guy who just randomly attacks guys for no real reason

[Mr. Nerfect]

MLW is enough commitment for me for now.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Roman Reigns back in the main event all is right with the world

[KIRA]

Excuse me motherfucker, that's an American hero. You watch your whore mouth.

It's the single glove it's so stupid it just eats at me I'm sorry

[Mr. Nerfect]

Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre reminds me so much of Cena vs. Orton, and I just got these weird chills.

[Triple A]

I don’t really know if he’s got it in him. Nothing against the guy, I’ve never seen him as this massively energetic personality.

He is really good on the mic... Saw him in EVOLVE before he came to WWE and he was a sweet ass heel who berated the crowd and got a ton of heat

[GD]

MLW is enough commitment for me for now.

Bye!

For fucks sake Vince, the guy just beat cancer, do we really need to drop a concussion angle on him??

"I just got a little headache" lol

Shazam and Pet Semetary look good

Which wrestler do you think would win matches by pooping on their opponent until they submitted? “Remission, poopy” made me think of “poopmisson” as a hold.

Was worried it would be Bray Wyatt tbh and Bray/Roman is a terrible feud always.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Has Bray Wyatt ever had a good feud?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I suppose Bray/Bryan was okay, and Bray/Cena had moments.

Apollo Crews getting the honor of being Angle's final tv match is a really unexpected and weird surprise.

Guess on the bright side, at least its not Baron Corbin based on their recent history together.

Not his last TV match, his last match in that trash city of Shitsburgh.

NO @ Bray Wyatt question

Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose versus Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin

Has Bray Wyatt ever had a good feud?

I really liked the time he was part of the fued against Randy Orton...when he was in the New Nexus...as Husky Harris...and Randy punt kicked him so hard he got a whole new gimmick. That was pretty cool.

As far as I can recall, Ambrose has never defeated McIntyre in his current incarnation.

Add in probably Ricochet/Black vs Revival for RAW Tag belts and RAW's side of the card is done. Everyone else gets dumped into the Andre and maybe Women's Battle Royal matches.

Renee couldn't care less about Dean. Getting his head bashed in with steel steps, and Renee is all "Drew showing he wants to be at the top of the mountain"

[Emperor Smeat]

Poor McIntyre and his McNuts

[KIRA]

Drew sure does love to close talk his opponents

5 minutes left...I really want Ambrose to score a win over McIntosh
