RAW - 5.27.19 - Official Thread

[slik]

Brock, Becky, 24/7

[ClockShot]

Hoping that after Double or Nothing Vince & Creative put their backs into this episode and give the fans some reason to watch Raw.

Doubt it, however.

[slik]

Prob a Baron Corbin tag match or main-event instead tbh

[erickman]

will renee young join vinces club tonight?

[KIRA]

I don't know man this is like going from eating a five-course meal prepared by the world's best chefs

To Eating at Burger King

I hope Mandy Rose is a Wild Card tonight and comes out and takes a Wild Shit in my mouth.

[ClockShot]

Well, they nailed the Memorial Day tribute.

[Droford]

Prob a Baron Corbin tag match or main-event instead tbh

he is Kansas City's favorite son

[ClockShot]

BOOMBOX BRIEFCASE SHIRT!

YES!

[Droford]

LOL

dolph should attack Kofi and let Brock cash in then realize what he did and run off to AEW

[RP]

10 minute promo recap of last week

[Droford]

[Droford]

we need the 24/7 champion

[Droford]

[ClockShot]

BOOMBOX BRIEFCASE!

:rofl:

[RP]

ROFL BROCK

[Droford]

comedy brock lesnar

[erickman]

crappy music

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the MitB case having a boombox design.

[slik]

this is dumb

[rez]

I'm not all the way done with Double or Nothing. At the Hitman revealing the belt segment.

[ClockShot]

Awwwwwwwww. Seth's not having fun.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Heyman

[Droford]

lol am i right?

[RP]

They need a backstage segment where Brock is having a Brock Party and then No Way Jose comes around and starts dancing and Brock F5's him

[Droford]

damnit

[Emperor Smeat]

That's it?

Well that was a big waste of time.

[RP]

I feel a tag match coming on

[ClockShot]

There's a convenient ref. Ring the bell and let's make it a match already.

[slik]

Wildcard Rules:

Kofi
Xavier
Dolph

[Droford]

Wildcard Rules:

Kofi
Xavier
Dolph

is dolph "officially" on SD?

[RP]

Good moment for Xavier Woods.

[RP]

Go for the fingers so he cant play video games again

[Fignuts]

Watching raw fir the first time in over a year to see what they do in the wake of DoN.

Just tuned in to see Ziggler brawling with Woods. Riveting.

[Droford]

dolph with a .001 dustin

[Droford]

half an hour 2 commercial breaks 0 matches

[Fignuts]

Commercials on sky sports really awful

[Emperor Smeat]

30 seconds into Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals and its already been way more interesting than RAW soo far.

[slik]

why is dolph still talking at the half hour mark

[Fignuts]

What about me? What about Ziggler?

[ClockShot]

Day 1 for Kofi Kingston had a fake Jamaican accent, was billed from Jamaica, aaaaaaaaaaaaand was nothing special at the time.

Don't recall him having Big E and Xavier Woods as buddies.

[Sepholio]

I kinda like the unhinged dolph….it's just a variation on his normal whining gimmick but it's a more interesting version for sure.

[Fignuts]

What the fuck is he talking about? Kofi hasn’t had Xavier and big e the whole time, they came years later.

[slik]

went to get ice cream, came back and dolph is still on tv

[Droford]

are we gonna get another random pie in the face

[Fignuts]

I swear to god if they go to commercial here

[ClockShot]

EC3 sitting there fucking miserable. :lol:

[Fignuts]

lol at Shane practicing his awful punches

[RP]

What times the Alexa Bliss segment guys?

[Droford]

shanes wrestling cause everyone else is getting paid to party in the back apparently

[xrodmuc316]

EC3 sitting there fucking miserable. :lol:

I seriously wonder what his salary is. I want his job.

[KIRA]

EC3 loves wrestling so much I hate to see him like this

[RP]

I cant wait for The Radkes

[Droford]

no matches in the first 45 minutes would be wcw nitro bad

[Fignuts]

Already tempted to watch Stanley cup finals

[xrodmuc316]

How long until Renee is unfaithful now that her hubby is gone?

[Fignuts]

lol Orton vs HHH?

Seriously?

[xrodmuc316]

Why don't they ever show who Randy beat to win the World Title the first time?

[Emperor Smeat]

So the reason why Orton and HHH are randomly wrestling at the Saudi show is because Triple H still holds a grudge over their Evolution days?

[xrodmuc316]

OH SHIT!! Cody was just on Raw lol

[slik]

Zero matches in 45 minutes

[RP]

So Shane has been in this ring shadow boxing this whole time?

[KIRA]

...... have there been any actual matches yet

[Droford]

So the reason why Orton and HHH are randomly wrestling at the Saudi show is because Triple H still holds a grudge over their Evolution days?

Hes killing off Evolution 1 ppv at a time except he wont need to fight Flair

[Droford]

...... have there been any actual matches yet

nope

[Fignuts]

Omg and now he’s talking

[RP]

This is a wrestling show right? This feels like that episode of South Park

[Droford]

the crowd doesnt even pop for the Rock lol

[xrodmuc316]

Zero matches in 45 minutes

Vince is like "oh they want wrestling, well fuck that, let's give them no wrestling!"

[KIRA]

They are literally talking for the entire First hours this is amazing

[xrodmuc316]

Seriously Vince doesnt give a damn lol

[Fignuts]

Uuuugh

[RP]

This is atrocious

[Emperor Smeat]

Yikes at the "This is Boring" chants.

Can't blame the crowd for being upset since this show has been a disaster even by WWE's low standards.

[Fignuts]

Ahahahahahaha another commercial

[slik]

50 minutes

[KIRA]

Come to Monday Night Raw see Shane McMahon work up a sweat monologuing

[Fignuts]

Shane will have been standing in the ring for 30 minutes by the time the bell rings

[Droford]

Yikes at the "This is Boring" chants.

Can't blame the crowd for being upset since this show has been a disaster even by WWE's low standards.

Vince "well at least they arent chanting AEW"

which is actually you know, a good point

[KIRA]

Fall cannot get here quick enough

[Fignuts]

Their answer to double or Nothing is the worst first hour of raw I’ve ever seen

[Evil Vito]

Checking in on live results. Their answer to AEW getting a ton of buzz this weekend is to have a Raw with no matches for the first 50 minutes and counting?

Vince is helplessly lost.

[ClockShot]

Lance Anoai is here already?!

[Droford]

lol Roman Reigns illegitamate brother

[Droford]

gonna go no wrestling for the full hour

[Fignuts]

After all that their first match is Shane vs some jobber

[Droford]

the usos should come out but theyre too busy partying

[Fignuts]

Except not really apparently

[RP]

AEW chants now

[Droford]

Vince "well at least they arent chanting AEW"

which is actually you know, a good point

vince "goddamnit"

[RP]

THIS
IS
AWFUL

[Evil Vito]

I hope Vince dies.

[Shisen Kopf]

All we need now is one of the women to be addicted to abortions

[ClockShot]

Hear that, Vince.

Fans are hating this.

[Fignuts]

LOL Shane went through a whole spiel on the Anoa’i family, and this guy is just going to get the shit kicked out of him with no help from the usos

[RVDmark]

I can't watch so am reading results in here. Has anything good or noteworthy happened?

[Fignuts]

There’s the AEW chant

[RP]

All we need now is one of the women to be addicted to abortions
yup

[Fignuts]

So we’re all agreed that doesn’t count as a match yes?

[Fignuts]

Shane looks like he’s the one who got beat down by drew.

[Droford]

So we’re all agreed that doesn’t count as a match yes?

the bell rang twice

[A.J.K]

Fuck this.

[RVDmark]

All we need now is one of the women to be addicted to abortions
Followed by a 'shes a slut' who's the father angle.

[KIRA]

No matches for an entire hour you have got to be f****** kidding me

[Droford]

I can't watch so am reading results in here. Has anything good or noteworthy happened?

brock's briefcase has speakers now

[Fignuts]

LOL reigns was here the whole time and he just let his cousin get destroyed ahahaha

[RP]

I have a bad feeling they're about to go to a Mojo Rawley match now.

[RVDmark]

Fuck this.

[KIRA]

I can't do this anymore I saw what wrestling could be Saturday night and I can't do this anymore

[Fignuts]

That guy must be the one in the family everyone hates.

[Fignuts]

Why are you running? No one is chasing you.

[RVDmark]

I can't do this anymore I saw what wrestling could be Saturday night and I can't do this anymore

Holy shit, I am seeing this posted everywhere. WWE are in big trouble.

[Emperor Smeat]

If Reigns truly cared about his cousin, you'd think he would have shown up way sooner.

Instead its the Cena effect of big faces being terrible friends to others.

[KIRA]

Did anybody catch the speech that Cody Rhodes gave after the show it was actually really touching.

[RVDmark]

brock's briefcase has speakers now

I can't tell if you are being serious or not.

[A.J.K]

Renee Young going to join her husband?

[RP]

Gonna need more Boom Box Brock

[Droford]

brocks been out twice

thats more amazing than anything else so far

[Droford]

I can't tell if you are being serious or not.

100%

(I doubt they work, but they also arent stickers)

[RP]

Vince should come out and fire Renee on national television without her even knowing it was gonna happen. That would be fantastic.

[Fignuts]

Oh good more talking

[Droford]

they clearly arent going to have the #1 contender match later on

[Emperor Smeat]

:| Another talkie segment.

Starting to think that the Women's tag match and #1 contender's match are going to be the only real matches tonight.

[RP]

lol " Page 8 "

That's like 2 pages.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

They’re trying to be bad on purpose right? There’s no conceivable way this is them trying their best. This has to be Andy Kaufman level shtick.

[Droford]

lol "I got a year"

[RVDmark]

100%

(I doubt they work, but they also arent stickers)

Haha good stuff.

[Fignuts]

Cash me outside!

[BigCrippyZ]

Lol... so I'm working and watching the SCF instead but in reading these first few pages even AEW having an amazing PPV event and a (future) competitive TV deal can't change Vince and this company's sheer ineptitude.

[Droford]

and brock wasnt seen again

[Fignuts]

lol

[slik]

So the show has accomplished nothing

[RVDmark]

Reddit is tearing the show to shreds.

[Fignuts]

Real talk that makes Brock look really fucking dumb hahaha

[Droford]

aj didnt want to go to Saudi Arabia?

[Emperor Smeat]

So either Brock can't read or the stuff he said months ago was actually true based on him not knowing the MitB rules.

https://i.imgur.com/cc7KYam.gif

[RP]

Becky's hips and ass has gotten so fat.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

LOL a Styles/Corbin bait and switch

They advertised AJ and are giving us Corbin.

They are being shit on purpose guys. It’s 100% intentional.

[A.J.K]

What a joke

[RP]

Trying so hard to last until Alexa Bliss segment. Not sure i can make it.

[xrodmuc316]

Even after one hour on nothing draining the fans, Becky comes out and it is instantly electric in the arena.

She is the most over person by a landslide.

But Corbin is definitely KCs favorite son since he was born there

100% right. This is Vince saying we can all miss his ass.

[Fignuts]

Brock got cashed in on. How the fuck would he not know how it works?

[KIRA]

It almost feels like Vince wants to prove that no matter what he puts on will always watch it

[slik]

Match # 2 begins

[BigCrippyZ]

It almost feels like Vince wants to prove that no matter what he puts on will always watch it

I'm not watching it but instead am getting more enjoyment out of this thread about the clusterfuck that is Raw.

[Fignuts]

It almost feels like Vince wants to prove that no matter what he puts on will always watch it

lol speak for yourself. I tuned in tonight to give them a chance but otherwise I haven’t watched in a long time. And I think that’s true of a lot of people here.

[Emperor Smeat]

Quality aside, RAW would have a much better flow if WWE was ever any good at timing commercial breaks.

Between all the breaks and way too much talking, tonight's show has been really bad soo far.

[xrodmuc316]

lol speak for yourself. I tuned in tonight to give them a chance but otherwise I haven’t watched in a long time. And I think that’s true of a lot of people here.

Your WWE posts are spiteful and hate filled :eek:

[Droford]

usos too busy partying

[Blonde Moment]

The end of the Cody/Dustin match alone beats anything they have done and will do in the future unless they get a clue

[KIRA]

lol speak for yourself. I tuned in tonight to give them a chance but otherwise I haven’t watched in a long time. And I think that’s true of a lot of people here.

at least Cesaro got to ditch his stupid theme he had Pre The Bar

[Emperor Smeat]

:| at them adding random thunder sounds to Richochett's entrance theme.

[slik]

Cesaro's new theme/entrance is cool

[RP]

never forget this legend

[Emperor Smeat]

Cesaro's new theme/entrance is cool

Feels very Marvel or super hero-like in tone. All that's missing is a badass looking cape for Cesaro to wear.

[Droford]

the 630 isnt patented enough

[Droford]

lol that uppercut

[Droford]

pretty sweet way to get back in the ring and win

[Emperor Smeat]

Pretty cool finish to the Cesaro-Ricochet match

[Droford]

vacant wins again!

[Droford]

the electric chair?

[RP]

Still to come.. More talking.. talking.. talking and Baron Corbin

[Droford]

lol braun

[Jordan]

I've fallen asleep 3 times. Just not as exciting as AEW!

[Droford]

so wait..Lashley and Strowman have a match already at Showdown?

So its either the Miz or Corbin winning

[Emperor Smeat]

If the #1 contender's match is going on now, then what's the main event tonight?

Unless they announced it a few minutes ago since I took a mini-break to make a sandwich.

[Droford]

this hasnt been a bad match but the dead crowd isnt helping

[Droford]

wait, they fucked up

[slik]

Single Elimination match won via single pinfall

[Droford]

Single Elimination match won via single pinfall

it was supposed to be 3 eliminations

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Corbin winning.

Not sure what's worse, Ziggy vs. Kofi for the WWE title or Corbin vs Rollins for the Universal title.

[Blonde Moment]

It will be Corbin vs Rollins vs Brock with Corbin winning and going on to face Styles

[Emperor Smeat]

Also, what was the purpose of announcing the match as elimination style if it ended after the first pin.

[Droford]

maybe theyre trying to screw up the Saudi show cause the realize no one cares about it anyway

[Droford]

raw is cornhole

lol

[Droford]

i smell a Fiend vs Demon match on the horizon

[Droford]

hey the graphics are black

[slik]

Annnnd thus begins the downfall of the Firefly FunHouse stuff

[Droford]

the last time there was an electric chair in a wrestling ring Abdullah the Butcher got fried

[rez]

Good gawd. Trying to watch RAW after Double or Nothing is painful. It's fucking bad when the highlight of the night is Brock Lesnar and a fake boom box. I feel embarrassed we're all trying to watch this.

[Droford]

dont you wish you were in AEW?

[Droford]

thats not izzy

[RP]

DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Droford]

first and last electric chair segment

[RP]

lol she ripped the microphone from that little girl.

[Emperor Smeat]

Sami not being tied up sort of defeats the purpose of using an electric chair.

[Droford]

nothing like outright personal insults to the fans

[Droford]

lol "why have you not won..(looks up) the universal championship"

oh damn "AEW"

[slik]

And there's an AEW chant again...

[rez]

Interesting. Vince is going to allow AEW to be acknowledged on air.

[Shisen Kopf]

This is a really good show. I like all the talking. Please get Phil Donahue to guest host next week.

[Droford]

Rip "shocky the chair" 2019-2019

[Droford]

there should be TLEC ppv

tables ladders and electric chairs

[Evil Vito]

https://i.imgur.com/oIR3m0l.gif

[Shisen Kopf]

This Q & A session reminds me of when Ginger Lynn was stripping at some titty bar in Kalamazoo and after she did her set, she took questions from the audience. Was hilarious bc people were treating her like she was a legit actress and not some scuzzy gutter fuck

[Evil Vito]

If Droford was there he would've rushed the stage to try to powerbomb Izzy off the stage like Bubba Ray Dudley did to Mae Young

[slik]

lights/tron darkened and ring apron back for exciting new 3rd hour of RAW that is totally different from the first 2

[Droford]

If Droford was there he would've rushed the stage to try to powerbomb Izzy off the stage like Bubba Ray Dudley did to Mae Young

that wasnt Izzy, fake Izzy was cool

[Droford]

KansasCityIzzy sounds bad

[slik]

Most interesting parts of RAW:

Cesaro/Ricochet

Dancin Brock

Sami mentioning another company

[xrodmuc316]

Interesting. Vince is going to allow AEW to be acknowledged on air.

I said it earlier, but Vince really does not give a shit, clearly lol.

I don't know exactly what point he is trying to make with this Raw, but this is purposefully bad.

[slik]

Ummm didn't Sami just score a 3 count and the ref no-sold it

[Blonde Moment]

I think he has gotten out of touch.
Would HHH do better? I dunno but something seriously needs to change

[Emperor Smeat]

lights/tron darkened and ring apron back for exciting new 3rd hour of RAW that is totally different from the first 2

They were extra lazy with the switch tonight. Like almost halfway into the hour before they made the changes.

[Blonde Moment]

Lesnar should have been out there and cashed in

[RP]

WHERE THE FUCK WAS ALEXA BLISS?

[Fignuts]

I think he has gotten out of touch.
Would HHH do better? I dunno but something seriously needs to change

People have said that NXT only works so well because of it's enviornment in front of a small crowd, and while I generally agree, you'd have to think it would still work better than what they've done here tonight.

[Blonde Moment]

I dunno, maybe AEW won't work on TV but I am sure hoping that they put the fear of god in to The Wwe...
But I suppose as long as the shareholder are happy....

[Droford]

WHERE THE FUCK WAS ALEXA BLISS?
she cant wrestle so probably home

I dunno, maybe AEW won't work on TV but I am sure hoping that they put the fear of god in to The Wwe...
But I suppose as long as the shareholder are happy....

WWE stock has dropped about 4 or so points over the last 5 days. I don't follow it so maybe that's normal.

I saw the Brock beatbox clip online. That it was funny.

Very normal. If you look at the year to date you'll see a trend. Annual rise around mania (peaked around 97) back down to where it is now. Nothing abnormal at all.

[Emperor Smeat]

I think he has gotten out of touch.
Would HHH do better? I dunno but something seriously needs to change

I'd say so mostly based on the stuff he's said in the past and his hands-off handling of NXT & NXT UK. WWE's biggest problem is the lack of quality direction because of Vince's habit with constant rewrites and plan changes.

He probably won't fix the deep rooted problems of nobody being bigger than the brand and his habit to keep hogging the spotlight from time to time. Same for probably being less willing to deal with serious talent problems based on some past incidents and Vince's history of being a lot more forgiving when money is not involved.

They did the same when Bayley and Sasha first won them.

[Sixx]

Read the results. Sound like a really disappointing episode.

[Triple A]

Tbh that's fine to me as long as the non-wrestling stuff is interesting (which it isn't), especially since 95% of Raw matches are really boring and the same exact type of match every time. Would rather not watch 30 minute Corbin and Lashley tag matches

In the "Attitude era" a lot of the matches were really short I think

[Destor]

Its always been that way. Why people pay to watch tv tapings is beyond me.


Memphis used to do it right. Everything was there infront of the people so they were involved throughout.



Live audiences spend most of the night paying for a view of a tv thats worse than what they would got at home.


They choose this.

[Droford]

the thing thats bugging me at 3:15 am is why everyone was backstage for the party, its like, none of the people that actually wrestled were back there other than for the r truth stuff, seemed strange

That's why it stands out more than usual

WWE in 'chaos mode' since WM it seems and on-screen product suffering heavily.

[erickman]

the bray segment was still good wonder if j borash is running that. wonderf how that gets through vince?

[Droford]

I'm waiting for the realization that Fiend is just friend without the R

They were really short but they each had a purpose. The problem with WWE's way of thinking is that they think that RAW and SD crowds are willing to watch PPV long matches. This goes back to the mentality Vince has that weekly TV should have better quality matches than PPV.

You know what never happens on Raw anymore: Title changes...more specifically World Heavyweight Championship title switches. I remember during the Attitude Era that there could have been a title change on any given night. And I do not mean the Hardcore Championship either. There was always that aura that a title change could happen, even when wrestlers like The Rock, Stone Cold, HHH, Jericho, etc. were holding onto the belt.
