[A.J.K]

Angle vs Joe Tonight

Angle Vs Styles tomorrow

nice.

[Droford]

Angle vs Jarrett would be too much to ask for wouldn't it

[ClockShot]

I hope Joe vs. Angle is in the first hour. Just to keep me somewhat tuned in.

Everything else looks recycled.

[Emperor Smeat]

They should have saved Joe vs. Angle for next week on Smackdown even if its just going to be a go-home filler show.

[KIRA]

Somehow NXT can do the same met several times and I won't get tired of it but this I get tired really quickly also why is Samoa Joe here?

[Droford]

Asuka should have tweeted :(

[ClockShot]

Oh boy. Ronda to open things up.

Remember, sweetie. Talk slow. Take breaths. Take your time. There's no rush.

[Evil Vito]

Lol a beat the clock challenge with nothing at stake

[KIRA]

Lol a beat the clock challenge with nothing at stake

I was just going to say the same thing who is this for

[slik]

Just tuning in, Ronda looks grumpy

[Dark One]

BECKYMANIA RUNNIN WILD

[ClockShot]

?

How you gonna do that? Super Camel Clutch?

[KIRA]

For the Love of Satan please stop talking

[slik]

What did I miss??

[Emperor Smeat]

Poor Riott Squad, going to get annihilated tonight.

[KIRA]

KAYFABE IS DEAD DO YOU HEAR? DEAD!

[ClockShot]

Riott Squad should be kicking ass and taking advantage of all this talking right now.

[KIRA]

So Becky just stops limping outta the blue

[KIRA]

Man Charlotte feels like such a third wheel it's not even funny

[slik]

Sarah Logan teaching Ron a lesson

[Emperor Smeat]

Charlotte has pretty much been the weakest link for this RAW Women's title feud and all because Vince/WWE wanted to shoehorn her into the main event and Ronda/Becky feud.

[KIRA]

So Rhonda quote unquote exposes the business and then she precedes to sell it okay that makes sense to somebody

[Droford]

Riott squad more like the job squad

[Emperor Smeat]

That might have been the worst ever Beat The Clock series.

[ClockShot]

Thankfully, that was fast all around.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Oh...they had Becky win with 7 seconds instead of 1.

[DAMN iNATOR]

That might have been the worst ever Beat The Clock series.

Even if it was, at least it served its purpose of making Becky look strong and like a credible threat.

[erickman]

now joe angle can main event tonight

[xrodmuc316]

Thankfully, that was fast all around.

I wish more matches were that fast.

20 minute PPV matches don't feel very special when they have 5 20 minute matches every week.

[Droford]

Gronk count #1

[DAMN iNATOR]

LOL

[Evil Vito]

Lmfao Jinder. Easy win for Finn

[Droford]

Oh no it's Jinder. Snicker

[slik]

Uber-Threat Jinder Mahal

[rez]

yawn

[KIRA]

The lack of a WrestleMania match will not hinder Jinder

[Emperor Smeat]

Whelp WWE telegraphed the result of this handicap match.

Still surreal that Jinder once held the WWE Championship considering how poorly he's been handled since then.

[ClockShot]

Heh.

Another quick match.

[slik]

Michael Cole says "_____loves to rally" and "_______ trying to rally" a lot

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

One more match added.

[KIRA]

Say what you will about Bobby Lashley but his spear is really awesome

[rez]

Where's da naked cowboy?

[ClockShot]

:lol:

Elias takes a detour to NYC to make this.

Don't you need a permit to perform at Times Square?

[KIRA]

If they zoom out and Elias is playing next to the Naked Cowboy this entire show will have been worth it

[Emperor Smeat]

Nice of Aleister Black to be back from his honeymoon.

Maybe WWE used the break to work on the timing for his rise entrance .... and they still managed botched the smoke effect. Why am I not surprised.

[KIRA]

I kind of really hate that Vince McMahon threw them together like this

[slik]

lots of commercial breaks

[Emperor Smeat]

Did Cole forget that Black and Ricochet already beat the Revival before?

Going by WWE's lazy booking habits, they already secured a future title shot and don't need to win tonight.

[slik]

Renee Young yells OH a lot

[KIRA]

There are your tag team Champs everybody drink them in

[KIRA]

It seems like unless your name is Brock Lesnar it's not really worth it to win the belt because all you do after that is loose

[KIRA]

Renee Young yells OH a lot

...... no nope it's too easy

[KIRA]

Tell me Renee how can a victory be menacing

[Emperor Smeat]

I kind of really hate that Vince McMahon threw them together like this

At least they are getting quality ring time unlike the previous set of callups.

NXT gave Creative an excuse to easily explain why they are a team but Cole don't even bother to reference the Dusty Tag Classic as the reason.

Speaking of which what the hell happened to EC3 he just disappeared completely

[Shisen Kopf]

Well, Im watching this and I immediately regret this. This is awful. That temptation island show looks more entertaining.

[Shisen Kopf]

Why is the dude from 3MB rassling Roman Reigns?

[Shisen Kopf]

Why is this so bad? Also, does anyone know where my bike is??

Hanging out in catering with Zack Ryder.

Literally made fun of WWE for his poor call-up with the catering joke when they wished him a happy birthday on Twitter recently.

[Sepholio]

Drew needs to go over Roman at Mania. This is a great opportunity to cement him as a top tier heel and get him nuclear heat in the process. He can be the new big bad once Lesnar is gone since they seem resigned to Braun being a face for now.

Romans face.......

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

One more match added.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

WrestleMania: The Eight Hour Tour.

[GD]

If I had a wrestling persona, I'd name him "Rob Low Blow".

[Seanny One Ball]

Not one "beat the cock" joke in this shit show.

God Damn you.

[GD]

Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns would've meant more if Drew hadn't endured those loses at the hands of Dolph, Rollins, and Balor.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Just saw a Ric Flair commercial for Cumby's lol

[slik]

went to get ice cream, assume big doggo accepted Drew's challenge?

[GD]

Dean !!!

[GD]

Jesus, fuck off Corey!

[GD]

Comparing Sasha to Whitey Bulger :nono:

Tix on sale for Survivor Series Friday but WWE hasn't officially released a ppv schedule for the whole year, just some rumored stuff

[Emperor Smeat]

Yeup. Had a brawl afterwards that ended with Roman regretting not wearing a cup.

[KIRA]

Wait a minute so were they not in Chicago all those other times they were getting bombarded with chants of CM Punk

[slik]

lol Big Doggo DickKick

[GD]

Phoenix looking impressive with the Glam Slam.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wait, Jimmy Hart isn't getting inducted with the Hart Foundation?

That seems pretty dumb considering he was their manager during a time when managers were a big deal in wrestling.

[KIRA]

Wait, Jimmy Hart isn't getting inducted with the Hart Foundation?

That seems pretty dumb considering he was their manager during a time when managers were a big deal in wrestling.

So let's just get to the question we're all thinking about where is Brian pillman or is it just this incarnation of the Hart Foundation that's going in

[GD]

Maybe they don't want Jimmy Hart to be a 2-time HOFer.

[Evil Vito]

This might be Dean’s last Raw. Could see them not bothering to give him a Mania payday.

[KIRA]

I don't know if Elite is the word I would choose seeing as how Coco beware was one of the first inductees

[GD]

Corey Graves is unbearable.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Koko wasn't one of the first inductees.

[KIRA]

Piss break( this is what has become of Braun strowman)

[KIRA]

Koko wasn't one of the first inductees.

My bad still he is in there

Has Braun been on SNL yet?

[GD]

"Moment of Bliss" has graduated to an in-ring segment.

[KIRA]

This is going to be hard to watch

[Emperor Smeat]

So let's just get to the question we're all thinking about where is Brian pillman or is it just this incarnation of the Hart Foundation that's going in

Just the Pudgy Bret era incarnation.

Makes no sense to not induct Jimmy in the group considering when Legion of Doom got inducted, they also included Paul Ellering.

[Dark One]

Colin Jost is 2019 Heel of the Year

[KIRA]

Just the Pudgy Bret era incarnation.

Cannot wait for Colin Jost to be in the WWE Hall of Fame like Drew Carrey

[Evil Vito]

One or both of them are getting bodypressed onto 10 dudes

[Emperor Smeat]

Since when did hosts get the power to add stuff to matches at Mania?

[KIRA]

Jesus Christ I went to get a sandwich came back and this is still going

[GD]

These two part-timers taking spots that belong to Primo and Epico.

[KIRA]

They've officially managed to turn Baron Corbin into X Pac

[xrodmuc316]

Maybe they don't want Jimmy Hart to be a 2-time HOFer.

Why not, they already added 3 others this year. Doesn't really mean a whole lot other than they are running out of people to put in that Vince doesn't have a grudge against.

[Emperor Smeat]

Poor Riott Squad, going to get destroyed next week.

[xrodmuc316]

Since when did hosts get the power to add stuff to matches at Mania?

Rock restarted the main event and turned it into a no dq match at Mania 27.
New Day added the Hardys to a tag title match at Mania 33.
Hulk Hogan made sure no black people won a match at Mania 30.

Hosts have the stroke.

[Triple A]

Seth Rollins unbelievably boring... hard to care about anything he does

[Sepholio]

LMAO THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS

[Sepholio]

Jesus

[Sepholio]

Heyman is God

[Dark One]

I would like to congratulate that kid on living forever in GIF infamy

[GD]

lol that kid

[KIRA]

For me Paul heyman's greatest moment will always be when he sat cross-legged in the middle of the ring that was something I thought impossible

[Emperor Smeat]

So if Rollins wins, does that mean the 77k peeps in the audience at Mania also get to be Universal champion going by the handicap match announcement by Heyman?

[GD]

That cackle :yes:

[xrodmuc316]

So if Rollins wins, does that mean the 77k peeps in the audience at Mania also get to be Universal champion going by the handicap match announcement by Heyman?

Nicolas gonna be a two time champ!

Pretty sure I’m cancelling the network after mania. This is unwatchable

[GD]

Can't believe this energy bill...

[GD]

Can't be bothered I suppose...

[slik]

The Brock/Seth feud really sucks...there's no 'arc' for Seth's character in the feud. He is the exact same today as he was at the beginning. There's never been doubt or moments his beliefs have been challenged, no character journey, etc...

[slik]

Kurt looks like he is in immense pain

:(

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I bet they will have Joe Vs. Angle and AJ next Raw to give everybody a middle finger.

[KIRA]

Samoa Joe gave him all the help on those suplexes

[A.J.K]

I bet they will have Joe Vs. Angle and AJ next Raw to give everybody a middle finger.

Angle vs Jeff Hardy

[Evil Vito]

Lol even Joe isn’t exempt from the rules of champions losing non-title matches

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Joe losing via being a dumbass.

[KIRA]

This match just makes me wish they had gotten Samoa Joe and brought back Kurt Angle a lot sooner they had some awesome matches in TNA

[A.J.K]

AJ will probably put Kurt over tomorrow.

Lmao Kurt Angle for all his greatness just keeps barely winning his matches nowadays basically by the skin of his teeth

Oooh no.

Wonder if smark boston crowd is chanting AEW as Ambrose gets up?

Main event wasn't that good. Drew looked way more vicious as a major threat last week than tonight.

Whole show was decent at best which still isn't a good sign for this year's Road to Mania.

Big crowd tonight in Boston

Wait, Jimmy Hart isn't getting inducted with the Hart Foundation?

That seems pretty dumb considering he was their manager during a time when managers were a big deal in wrestling.

yeah I am not getting the hof this year 2 tag teams and a group that's a lot of people and a lot of 2 timers. they should have put jim the anvil in by himself unless they wanted bret to speak at the show.

[Fignuts]

I don't know if Elite is the word I would choose seeing as how Coco beware was one of the first inductees

Fucking how many times are we going to have to have this discussion?

Also, 4 page Raw thread 2 weeks away from mania. This is fucking dire.

I honestly fast forward through the whole segment because it was just "Ok, so he's basically just going to say the same thing he always says."

[Fignuts]

Seth is just outright terrible as a face. I can’t recall a single feud that had any heat whatsoever. He’s absolutely cold as a face.

What a bunch of garbage, kayfabe, Vince's puppets, globalists, internet wrestling nerds, it's all there to control you, two sides of the same coin! Two management teams, bidding for control of the CEO job of Slavery Incorporated!

[AlexJones]

I never want to see that little demon...that leaking butthole!

[Fignuts]

What

[AlexJones]

Globalist worshiping nerds basically run the World Wrestling Federation. They love death and they love killing babies.

[Fignuts]

I think we found Rhiannon’s ex.

[AlexJones]

This is a WAR. That isn’t rhetoric. This is a TRUE war. Because of they say “kill the globalists! kill McMahon's empire!”

[Jordan]

Seth is just outright terrible as a face. I can’t recall a single feud that had any heat whatsoever. He’s absolutely cold as a face.

Well... I disagree, they make a lot of noise for him, the universe at large seems invested. I however, am not. This program with Lesnar should've been built around the WM encounter where Seth cashed in and spoiled Brock and Roman's night. Brock needs to prove he can smash Seth and Seth needs to just do it one more time to wear the gold. Instead each week we've been privy to a redundant overly unrealistic dialogue between Seth and Paul which bores me to tears. Each big match at Mania is built by one person coming out by themselves to monologue what they hope to do at Mania, and then the other comes out, they fight, maybe a match is made, that's it. It's not HORRIBLE but it's not "Very good" either.
