WWE RAW - The Heyman Era begins (again) 8.12.19

[slik]

Asuka/Kairi vs Bliss/Cross

Miz vs Dolphin

Cedric vs Drew

Seth Rollins will appear

All have been announced for RAW!

[RP]

I got an email saying Seth Rollins Universal Championship celebration continues tonight on Raw.

I got a feeling Vince is going to do what Vince does and blow his load with Bray Wyatt. Seth has a celebration/ in ring promo. Lights go out. Bray attacks.

Bray's gimmick is done in 2 months after Seth buries him.

[Jordan]

I think Bray moves onto Braun if Braun doesn't go with Seth. Bray in the title scene would be a waste this early.

[slik]

Way too soon for Bray in the title scene

I would go with Cesaro

[RP]

You guys are using normal logic. You have to use Vince logic.

[Triple A]

Feel like Bray should only wrestle once every 2-3 months or else the gimmick will be overexposed

[Triple A]

tbh it is sort of a flaw in the gimmick that losing will kinda ruin it...

maybe he'll wrestle as "happy" Bray also and job and the Fiend will be like "The Demon" or w/e... idk... feel like there is no way this will end well

[xrodmuc316]

You guys are using normal logic. You have to use Vince logic.

Vince logic feels like AJ Styles to me, even with him already being US Champ.

[RP]

This would have been a good spot for Bobby Lashley to challenge for the title, but I think he's hurt.

[DrA]

From the match it looked like there were moments where Happy Bray was trying to take over again, so I think they might do something where he's mostly dominant/aggressive but with cracks in the armor when he struggles with the other side of him.

[Triple A]

seth rollins fucking unbelievably boring on the mic... can't believe it

[Emperor Smeat]

So what are the odds that Baron Corbin comes back from his time off tv and goes right back to feuding with Rollins for the belt?

[slik]

Seth cutting a promo about loving the WWE Universe


sigh...

[Triple A]

6 man tag probably,,,

[Emperor Smeat]

Thought for a quick moment the crowd was randomly chanting "Heath Slater"

[slik]

AJ has CENA NUFF

[Triple A]

worried @ a six man tag lasting until like 9:45 and going through 2 commercial breaks... wish that commercial rule was still in effect tbh... prevented long ass matches

[slik]

they should unite the belts...so many titles!

Universal United States Championship

[RP]

So they will burn this champ vs champ match and then of course it will end in a DQ or interference.

It would be really cool if the person that interfered was a new member of OC.

[Evil Vito]

Lmao another fucking 2 of 3 falls match

[Emperor Smeat]

Not sure if AJ's claim of being a much better top champ is true anymore. His last run with the WWE title got stale pretty fast.

[Sepholio]

Feel like Bray should only wrestle once every 2-3 months or else the gimmick will be overexposed

I think him wrestling every couple months would be fine but he needs to have a well defined target for most of that time and be playing mind games with them constantly.

I actually don't see him losing for a WHILE. Think they are going to use him to put someone over down the line. The way he loses his first match will be because good Bray takes control back finally and it distracts him enough to get him beat. Use that to put someone over after having Bray built way up. It won't weaken Bray too much either.

[slik]

Samoa Joseph has CENA NUFF

[Triple A]

Love Zayn...

[Emperor Smeat]

Sami's not wrong at all about WWE sucking all the fun out of everyone that gets remotely interesting or popular after a while.

[Sepholio]

Nice, KotR

[RP]

I see WWE has been looking through my wrestling forum threads and plucking all my ideas. Cant wait for King of the Ring

[Sepholio]

Don't get suicided by Vince. That was all his idea and you know it.

[slik]

what about KOTR? went to get ice cream via being bored and missed it

[GD]

KOTR, next week on RAW.

[Sepholio]

what about KOTR? went to get ice cream via being bored and missed it

KOTR tournament starts next Monday, nothing more said.

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: King of the Ring returning.

Watch WWE somehow find a way to screw things up either during the tournament or blowing the choice for winner.

[RP]

what about KOTR? went to get ice cream via being bored and missed it

They named Shane McMahon the King of the Ring. His coronation is tonight.

[slik]

DAMN...Samoa Joe beats Sami Zayn clean in under a minute!

[Sepholio]

:y: King of the Ring returning.

Watch WWE somehow find a way to screw things up either during the tournament or blowing the choice for winner.

Have no Bray appearances for the next few weeks until a KotR is decided and then have The Fiend eat them during their coronation.

Yes, every single creative idea I am going to have for wrestling for the next couple weeks is going to involve Bray being the focus.

[slik]

King of the RICOchet tournament next week

[Jordan]

I love Samoa Joe

[Jordan]

I wish he would forgive me

[Jordan]

Seth sucks on the mic so bad.

[slik]

Seth is a nerd!!

[slik]

Wish Cesaro would come out with a machete and cut off Seth's face or something!!!

[Emperor Smeat]

Have no Bray appearances for the next few weeks until a KotR is decided and then have The Fiend eat them during their coronation.

Yes, every single creative idea I am going to have for wrestling for the next couple weeks is going to involve Bray being the focus.

He better carry their heads as lanterns afterwards like the Bray one last night.

[RP]

Renee is so bad right now. They should cut her mic and not tell her.

[RP]

This should end with Goldberg coming out and spearing him again.

[slik]

Make ur voice heard!

[KIRA]

I have to say I have a weird new respect for Ziggler after last night

[RP]

OHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Sepholio]

Ziggler let Oldberg assault him to con Miz! Oldbergs spears were ineffective against the greatness that is Dolfffffffff

[rez]

Skipped through a bunch but show seems alright so far

[slik]

Randomly thinking about the musical GREASE

[slik]

Go Greased Lightning GO

[KIRA]

I do love how everything about Goldberg and Ziggler last night revolves around Dolph getting speared and how it would look

[slik]

Picturing Carmella as Beauty School Dropout role in GREASE

[slik]

Nia Jax as Rizzo

[slik]

Alexa as Sandra Dee

[GD]

What is wrong with Corey Graves tonight?

[rez]

Love Bliss but I want Asuka and Kairi to dominate the tag division..

[Sepholio]

:( poor Dolf

[RP]

Alexa as Sandra Dee

:y:

[KIRA]

I just realized Dolph is wearing a kabuki Warriors shirt

[slik]

WOW @ Miz winning a match for once!

[GD]

Damn, Ziggler's gonna quit, right?

[Emperor Smeat]

Miz-Ziggy going as long as it did sort of ruins the effect and pay off from last night's Goldberg match.

[GD]

I absolutely love delusional Dolph Ziggler.

[KIRA]

That was cold Im lovin Ziggler these days

[Triple A]

New Ziggler gimmick is good, much better when it is a comedy bit instead of it being serious

[slik]

What is wrong with Corey Graves tonight?

TONIGHT!?!!

Every night my dude!

[Evil Vito]

God I miss actual backstage interviews. For years now it’s just one question max and then the wrestler goes off into their own promo.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ziggy's new post-match routine might be the best thing he's done in years.

[slik]

Becky Lynch as Danny Zuko

[rez]

God I miss actual backstage interviews. For years now it’s just one question max and then the wrestler goes off into their own promo.

It ended and never will come back. RIP Mean Gene

Leftover Panda Express..mmm..

[KIRA]

Seth Rollins as Sandra
Alexa as Frenchie
The iconics as Kenickie and Rizzo

[GD]

Remember when they said that the wild card rule will be retired after SummerSlam?

[rez]

STING

[KIRA]

Hooray for new genre Savvy Elias not that it'll help

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the crowd making the Rumble buzzer sound for Elias' countdown.

[RP]

I wonder what kind of condition Ricochet is after that finger beating his asshole took before he came out to the ring.

[KIRA]

Its wrestling youre all dressed like superheros

[GD]

Ricochet took a painful bump.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at Ricochet's back.

[Emperor Smeat]

Somehow everyone involved in that match managed to botch doing something. Ref still counted despite Elias' shoulder being up.

[rez]

Elias needs to go on a losing streak where he loses to questionable counts each time. He and his team of lawyers can go after the WWE Referees Union and it turns out they're fixing matches and not just his.

[RP]

GOT DAM ZELINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[GD]

This is going to be good :yes:

Also, wild card rules in full effect.

[rez]

TI'S A FIX

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if all these Rey vs Andrade mask is going to lead to Rey's mask being on the line soon.

While producing some great matches, their feud has been pretty aimless in terms of direction.

[RP]

Zelina can shit salsa in my mouth

[GD]

Holy shit @Andrade winning 2 falls straight. Wow!

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Andrade pulling off the rare 2-0 sweep

[RP]

How long til Stone Cold is GM for a few month run? I feel like it should happen. Maybe Stone Cold doesnt want to. I dont know.

[rez]

Austin is drunk

[Emperor Smeat]

That Stone Cold interview segment was terrible.

[GD]

Rey Rey with the family angle again.

[RP]

I want to watch the sunset on the beach with Alexa Bliss.

[xrodmuc316]

Rey Rey with the family angle again.

Dominic debut coming!

[slik]

went to take a shower and missed rey-andrade and whatever happened after it, someone fill me in plz

[GD]

went to take a shower and missed rey-andrade and whatever happened after it, someone fill me in plz

Andrade won with 2 falls back to back. He got the first one with some assist from Zelina but the second one was a clean pin with the Hammerlock DDT.

[Sepholio]

That was the best claymore kick, big boot, drop kick, whatever, of all time.

[RP]

LOL That sell on that kick. Good lord.

[Triple A]

Crowd is good

[GD]

Wow! That was a solid TV match. McIntyre with the win.

[Emperor Smeat]

Holy shit at Drew's Claymore kick.

Drew vs. Cedric was great.

[Sepholio]

Nakamura gonna join the club

[GD]

Mother lovers :lol:

[KIRA]

I kind of do like the idea that even though they are all on the same side the good Brothers still lay into AJ. that Claymore kick was next level

Oh cool. Dusting off Bobby Roode.

[Evil Vito]

I forgot Robert Roode was employed

[RP]

No Way Jose should start a Cameo.

[Triple A]

Does the ring announcer keep calling him "Bob Roode"

[rez]

No more stache :(

[Emperor Smeat]

Nice of WWE to make this Roode vs No Way match entirely irrelevant by hying up the next segment instead and then follow it with a production botch

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Carmella tripping Drake Maverick

[Evil Vito]

Surely Carmella is just gonna pin Truth herself eventually

[Emperor Smeat]

Some quality Steiner math from Truth for the number of his title reigns and name of the 24/7 title belt.

[Evil Vito]

Lol King of the Ring randomly returning. They seem to run it every 4 or 5 years

[RP]

For the love of God please dont make us here a Natalya promo.

[RP]

Oh fucking come on she just farted. I saw it in her facial expression. Nasty bitch.

[RP]

She's gonna share a special fart.

[RP]

GET THE FUCK OVER IT OMFG

[Sepholio]

woot

[RP]

THE BOSS IS HERE! IT'S BOSS TIME!

[RP]

IT'S BOSS TIME!!!!!!!

"You look so good, baby." - Some creepy fan.

Also, "Thank you, Sasha" chants :nono:

[RP]

GO HAVE SEX WITH SETH NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the crowd chanting "Thank You Sasha" during the Natty beatdown

[GD]

I am genuinely excited for Becky Lynch vs Sasha Banks. There's your Clash of Champions main event.

[RP]

PUT THE CHAIR IN HER COOCHIE SO SHE CANT REPRODUCE AND SETH LEAVES HER FOR NIA JAX!

[Evil Vito]

Taking off a wig to reveal new hair color is the most pointless disguise since Sting wore a Sting mask to ambush RVD.

[RP]

RUB YOUR BUTTHOLE ON HER STUPID FACE!!!!!!!!!

[RP]

PUNCH BECKY IN THE CHEST UNTIL SHE STARTS TO SWELL UP SO MUCH SHE LOOKS LIKE AN ACTUAL WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[RP]

GRAB NATALYA, SET HER ON BECKY'S FACE AND SQUEEZE NATALYA'S STOMACH TO FORCE SHARP SHOOTING FARTS IN BECKY'S MOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!

Their 1x1 match at an NXT Takeover was incredible. I am looking forward to them having at it again.

[RP]

did anyone see Sasha pick Becky's head off the ground and slap the living shit out of her. It looked legit and Becky started kicking her.

[RP]

Alexa Bliss, I want to make you soup, massage your feet and watch Disney + with you!

[rez]

RIP NXT when it moves to Wednesdays on FS1 to go against AEW.

I wonder if it will simulcast on the Network, be available the next day on the Network like it is on Hulu, or be added a month later the way Raw and Smackdown are now.

Honestly, if it's added live or the following day, I just assume most people will just watch it the next day. I sure will.

[RP]

Alexa is like a breath of fresh air in a room stuck with Natty.

[rez]

Can Bliss and Kairi make out, plz

[GD]

That reaction for Kairi was sad.

[Evil Vito]

What? It’s true. I enjoyed it but it’s still one of those things that s quite daft when you actually break it down. But I love dumb shit like that in wrestling.

That's the most bat shit crazy thing you've said in a while

[Emperor Smeat]

Or just stick to using either Kairi's or Asuka's theme since their team theme is up there with the laziest mashups ever done by WWE.

[RP]

I want to braid Alexa's hair and paint her toe nails while we watch Downton Abbey

[rez]

WWE Network needs to have a pirate voyage tv series with Kairi

[Blonde Moment]

NIkki needs to dye her hair Blonde

[Emperor Smeat]

Ending stunk but Women's tag title match was pretty good overall.

[Blonde Moment]

More backstage promos than usual?

[xrodmuc316]

So clearly with no Fiend so far, he is attacking Seth tonight right?

[KIRA]

Kari and Asuka continue to get robbed

[RP]

I want to sit by a fire pit with Alexa and play acoustic Nickelback songs while I gaze in her gorgeous eyes.

[GD]

WWE relying on legends to endorse Rollins like they did with Roman.

Youll lose her forever if she hears one cord of anything that band shat out

The coolest moment in KOTR history

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/wrestlepedia/images/c/c7/KotR_2008.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170204053651

[teamXtremist]

Holy shit

[Emperor Smeat]

Based on the video showing off the competitors, Ricochet, Ali, or Andrade would be the best options if the plan is to use KotR to make a new big star.

Since Corbin was shown, watch him somehow win it instead and another dud for King winners.

[rez]

Will we ever again see a faction in WWE with more than 3 members?

[slik]

fell asleep and missed Sasha's return

how was it???

[GD]

fell asleep and missed Sasha's return

It was good.

[Sepholio]

uhg

[GD]

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUN!

[Emperor Smeat]

Styles vs Rollins was meh overall. Ref not calling for the DQ the first time was dumb.

[KIRA]

I predict 9wks of 3 on 3 matches

[Emperor Smeat]

Braun coming out to lay waste to the OC was the best thing that happened in the main event.

[Droford]

I wonder if it will simulcast on the Network, be available the next day on the Network like it is on Hulu, or be added a month later the way Raw and Smackdown are now.

Honestly, if it's added live or the following day, I just assume most people will just watch it the next day. I sure will.

I got a thing called a satellite box that can show two channels side by side at the same time...OR...a dvr and I can watch 1 later...OR...directv added TNT WEST i can just watch AEW at 11pm...

[slik]

Finally caught Sasha's return

A+

She has a lot of charisma and presence and her vs Becky will be a hot feud. Sasha is now in the spot Bex was last year this time where fans view her as screwed over by management so they will cheer her no matter how much WWE tries to heel her up lol.

[slik]

Only complaint I have is the GOD AWFUL camera work when she was hitting Becky with a chair. The camera needs to capture the action, not try to replicate it!!!

Michael Cole's insistence on doing the whole "IS THAT......IS IT......COULD IT BE?" bit any time somebody debuts or returns seriously takes me out of the immersion.

Nobody actually talks or reacts this way.
