RAW 8/26

[rez]

ya

[Anybody Thrilla]

Hello. I'm eating soup.

[rez]

I just had some leftover Blaze Pizza

[Anybody Thrilla]

Sasha v. Natalya tonight.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Imagine Natty winning this match.

[Sepholio]

Uhg opening with Natalya talking in any way is an awful choice.

[Sepholio]

Imagine Natty winning this match.

Probably going to win via DQ.

[ClockShot]

Please don't shove the Seth/Becky engagement down our throats.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm still trying to figure out why she had to have a wig on for any of this to work.

[Emperor Smeat]

Could have sworn Natty cared way more about her uncle Bret than her dad The Anvil based on her promos the past several years.

[Sepholio]

I'm still trying to figure out why she had to have a wig on for any of this to work.

If she had come out with the blue hair everyone would have known she was about to turn! DUH! /wwelogic

[Anybody Thrilla]

I like that they're at least basing Sasha on her actual self here as opposed to some convoluted bullshit.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Odd that neither lady is dressed to compete, considering they have a booked match.

[KIRA]

Ive got a new hair color.......because I'm EVIL!!!!

[KIRA]

Could have sworn Natty cared way more about her uncle Bret than her dad The Anvil based on her promos the past several years.

That's because if we're being honest Jim Neidhart didn't really do anything

[Anybody Thrilla]

Choose Blue! The OFFICIAL color of evil!

[Anybody Thrilla]

That's because if we're being honest Jim Neidhart didn't really do anything

Oh really? Who ELSE could have grown a goatee, smart guy???

[ClockShot]

Ive got a new hair color.......because I'm EVIL!!!!

She don't look like the King of Darkness.

[KIRA]

I'm still trying to figure out why she had to have a wig on for any of this to work.

Because she had to fool you into thinking she was still a good guy.

Hair color alignment wheel

[Emperor Smeat]

Odd that neither lady is dressed to compete, considering they have a booked match.

Easiest solution is to just have them compete in a Street Fight.

[rez]

Can we have Street Prophets on commentary?

[Anybody Thrilla]

"Yeah, they're a team now!"

:lol:

[KIRA]

Oh really? Who ELSE could have grown a goatee, smart guy???

Well there's......shhSHUT UP.

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Viking Raiders actually doing something meaningful for once.

[xrodmuc316]

Nattie needs to go away for at least 6 months. She is the worst.

[KIRA]

I have a question where did they get it in their minds that Ricochet thinks he's a superhero

[KIRA]

Nattie needs to go away for at least 6 months. She is the worst.

Only when it comes to talking

[Emperor Smeat]

Drew looked pretty cool on the throne.

Too bad that also means its a very safe bet to cross his name out of the winner's list now.

[xrodmuc316]

I honestly wish Drew would win 4 squash matches to win KOTR, then destroys Seth for the championship.

[Anybody Thrilla]

It seems like McIntyre and Ricochet have an interesting chemistry. This could get really good.

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE refs are probably the worst/laziest in all of wrestling when it comes to consistency in counting people out of the ring.

Both Ricochet and Drew were outside long enough for a double countout to happen. Even commentary hinted it should have happened.

[rez]

Cool

[Anybody Thrilla]

That was really good, but I don't like McIntyre bounced in the first round.

[Evil Vito]

Ricochet definitely winning the tourney so WWE can use the “King Ricochet” name

[RP]

What time does Alexa come on?

[GD]

2018 expectations

https://statics.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/05/ab740-15582665595804-800.jpg

[Emperor Smeat]

Ricochet vs. Drew was great.

It topped Cesaro vs. Joe for best KotR match soo far.

[slik]

That was a good match

I missed Sasha's promo

[Anybody Thrilla]

Ricochet definitely winning the tourney so WWE can use the “King Ricochet” name

From Prince Puma to King Ricochet

[slik]

Michael Cole should start calling him RicoSlay every 10 seconds

[Emperor Smeat]

That was really good, but I don't like McIntyre bounced in the first round.

Owens losing in the 1st round was the worst thing to happen for Drew since it got rid of the only reason to have him advance far into the tournament.

[GD]

Technically, both the world champions on the main roster are double champions at the moment.

[ClockShot]

Maybe this time Braun will finally win the belt.

[KIRA]

Lol just straight up telling you on live television that the tag titles don't mean anything

[GD]

Oh God! This is painful to watch.

[rez]

Is it really the first time?

[slik]

really bad seth/braun promo

[GD]

Miz vs Corbin...that's gonna put some butts in the seats

[Triple A]

Just turned on Raw and immediately hit with The Miz's entrance theme... taking on Baron Corbin...

[Triple A]

The Miz is my least fav person in WWE I think

[GD]

Miz's gonna cut a promo...oh snap!

[Triple A]

fuck stfu

[Triple A]

Hope Baron Corbin wins...

[GD]

King AWESOME!

[Anybody Thrilla]

I wonder if King Corbin would wear his crown during his table visits at Applebee's.

[slik]

Wish Tom Phillips or Vic Joseph was on RAW instead of Graves

[GD]

I hope The Miz and Corbin put on a 30-minute classic.

[rez]

Trump deserves to be KOTR to go along with being the King of the Jews.

[GD]

Wish Tom Phillips or Vic Joseph was on RAW instead of Graves

Graves is beyond annoying. His constant bickering takes me right out of the match.

[KIRA]

Good god the commentary is unbearable

[Emperor Smeat]

Just turned on Raw and immediately hit with The Miz's entrance theme... taking on Baron Corbin...

Outside of a very good Ricochet vs Drew match, you didn't really miss much for the 1st hour.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Very nice of Camacho to let Baron Corbin dig through his closet.

[GD]

I'd rather listen to nails on a chalkboard for 3 straight hours than listen to Corey Graves. Wish there was a button to individually mute the commentators.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I was actually rooting for Corbin there. That felt weird.

[rez]

I'd rather watch Luck's retirement speech again than another Corbin match

[slik]

Miz comes across as the biggest loser possible as a face...

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Corbin had a decent match for once.

[slik]

Baron Corbin looks much better in a tank top than Applebees shirt

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the crown not fitting Corbin's head.

On the bright side that probably means he's not actually winning this whole thing.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Viking Raiders v. Braun and Seth might be interesting.

[GD]

lol Ziggler and Roode

[KIRA]

Ziggler and Roode who coughed up that

[Anybody Thrilla]

I actually hope that Charlotte beats Bayley. What's going on with me today?

[GD]

Remember when they were going to quietly retire the wild card rule after SummerSlam?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Team Should Have Been Glorious

[GD]

Mama Chrisley got a tattoo :eek:

Triple H-lite and Shawn Michaels-lite.

Degeneration Next

[slik]

VMAs more entertaining than RAW so far

Missy Elliot gave great performance for Vanguard Award

[Anybody Thrilla]

Look at literally everyone in the Wyatt Family besides Luke Harper right now.

[Evil Vito]

Have a bad feeling Rowe/Erik will be the fall guy if they actually get pinned

Gotta hope for a DQ or count out elimination to keep my Survivor hopes alive

[#1-norm-fan]

I miss The Smoking Gunns

[#1-norm-fan]

Heavenly Bodies in tag action

[Anybody Thrilla]

Weren't the B Team heels last time we saw them?

[#1-norm-fan]

Money Inc. vs The Steiner Brothers in a steel cage match for the tag titles. FIRE.

[#1-norm-fan]

Undertaker vs. Kamala

[Evil Vito]

YESSSSSSSSS

[Anybody Thrilla]

Quite a bit of pomp and circumstance for a gauntlet match.

[Emperor Smeat]

This tag gauntlet/turmoil has been pretty bad soo far.

[KIRA]

This is actually exactly what I wanted these two teams beating the s*** out of each other

[#1-norm-fan]

Fuck Raw, even. Bobby and Gorilla bitching at each other in a studio. TV done right. Where the fuck did we go wrong?

[#1-norm-fan]

Undertaker vs. Kamala

YESSSSSSSSS

VITO KNOWS

[KIRA]

Weren't the B Team heels last time we saw them?

Yeah but you don't remember that so it's fine

[#1-norm-fan]

For anyone who may be confused about where this mini-rant came from, I turned on wrestling on a Monday night tonight to trigger some nostalgic feelings and immediately vomited in my mouth a little bit.

[rez]

lol fucking fail revealing their tag opponents during the commercial break...or spared us the boos

[RP]

For anyone who may be confused about where this mini-rant came from, I turned on wrestling on a Monday night tonight to trigger some nostalgic feelings and immediately vomited in my mouth a little bit.

I was not curious if you're curious to know.

[KIRA]

It is insane to think that we have yet to see Rey Mysterio and Kalisto in the same ring

[#1-norm-fan]

I was not curious if you're curious to know.

Surely YOU were confused though.

[slik]

Dolph was just in a WWE title picture therefore the next logical step is a thrown together tag team with an NXT Champion turned into wasted-opportunity-undercarder

[#1-norm-fan]

It is insane to think that we have yet to see Rey Mysterio and Kalisto in the same ring

Crazy that we haven’t seen Rey Mysterio vs The Undertaker in Saudi Arabia yet.

[#1-norm-fan]

Rey Mysterio vs Goldberg. Another match WWE can trot out from an era and company that died 20 years ago that would be cooler to see than anything they could do with their current guys.

[#1-norm-fan]

Seriously, Goldberg vs Mysterio has GOTTA happen at some point. Milk them WCW gravy train tits bone dry.

[slik]

What happened to the RKO/Revival alliance LOL

[Anybody Thrilla]

This match makes no sense, and I hate it.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I do like Heavy Machinery though.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I would rather see Rey and Goldberg in a team. Some heels take out Dominick and Goldberg joins with Rey because he hates bullies.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Oh god, Dominick vs. Goldberg in Dominick’s first match. “I don’t need you standing up for me and making me look like a bitch!”

[Emperor Smeat]

This might be the worst and boringest gauntlet match in WWE in years.

Maybe Heavy Machinery can make things interesting.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Dominick Mysterio vs. Aiden English — Battle of the Brothers-in-Law

[Evil Vito]

Lol you knew the random makeshift team would win

[Anybody Thrilla]

That was a cool finish, but that match sucked. Also, why did they book Roode and Ziggler like faces?

[#1-norm-fan]

I would rather see Rey and Goldberg in a team. Some heels take out Dominick and Goldberg joins with Rey because he hates bullies.

Eh. If that happens, Rey takes the fall to “put over” some guys who never end up actually getting over because WWE.

I’m at the point where I prefer matches featuring old fucks and only old fucks because I can pretend I’m in a different era and don’t have to concern myself with terribly booked WWE guys.

[KIRA]

" make Mama's dreams come true"
Renee Young 2019

[#1-norm-fan]

Oh yeah. Heavy Machinery. I love them. I wish they existed in a different era/company.

[rez]

So....

OC/Vikings get DQd but ref just lets whatever go on in that match. Yep

[Mr. Nerfect]

This show sounds really boring.

[KIRA]

I love how established actual tag teams have no chance in this company( unless you have Samoan heritage)

It breaks logic that guys who have been teaming forever would be beat by two guys who had never teamed up but whatever

[Emperor Smeat]

RAW's tag division is horrendous. Very strong likelihood of it going back-to-back with champs being teams that were randomly made up on the spot.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why are the Miz and Mrs. seasons only like four episodes?

[rez]

10PM TIME FOR THE PG-13 lite time of the night!!

[Anybody Thrilla]

I was kinda hoping Sasha would have a head lantern with pink hair, but I guess this will have to do.

[rez]

Are the RAW Tag Titles supposed to be defended at Clash?

[rez]

I was kinda hoping Sasha would have a head lantern with pink hair, but I guess this will have to do.

I like the blue

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm digging Natty's fire here.

[xrodmuc316]

There is nothing that ruins a returning superstars momentum like getting saddled in a fued with Natalya

[Anybody Thrilla]

I like the blue

I do too.

[Anybody Thrilla]

There is nothing that ruins a returning superstars momentum like getting saddled in a fued with Natalya

I think it's more of a feud with Becky.

[xrodmuc316]

I think it's more of a feud with Becky.

Nattie getting any offense in, Nattie holding out THAT long in the Banks Statement, it's just not necessary.

[Emperor Smeat]

Since Cole is now pissed at Sasha, maybe he'll stop yelling "BOSS TIME" whenever she shows up.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Nattie getting any offense in, Nattie holding out THAT long in the Banks Statement, it's just not necessary.

I mean, she is just coming off a title match at SummerSlam. She didn't need to look like a complete cake walk. It would also seem weird if Sasha went STRAIGHT to Becky after literally doing nothing for four months. It all seems to be over with Natty now, so I'm OK with it. Sasha's got actual momentum now.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Corey called himself "Sterling". Been a while on that.

[xrodmuc316]

It would also seem weird if Sasha went STRAIGHT to Becky after literally doing nothing for four months. It all seems to be over with Natty now, so I'm OK with it. Sasha's got actual momentum now.

She shouldn't have been in that match either. Natty got turned heel to be in that match, but because it was in Canada WWE thought a heel Nattie would be a selling point.

Then after losing, she comes out crying and is supposed to be a baby face again?

She needs a reboot, needs to go away for 6 months at least, then maybe she can bring something of value to a storyline again.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I agree with that.

[rez]

Did they just brag about beating a pre season nfl game in tweets?

[slik]

Dawson suffers a wardrobe malfunction of sorts on RAW

https://i.imgur.com/g9vZ9o7.png

[#1-norm-fan]

Wish TPWW was around during the Primetime Wrestling days.

[slik]

street profits have become fucking annoying

[Emperor Smeat]

So how much longer till Street Profits actually do something meaningful on RAW?

Could have at least had some showcase matches with RAW and/or NXT tag teams to get people more invested in them than what they are currently doing.

[slik]

another anti-climactic nxt promo to usa network LOL

[slik]

crowd dead for Strowman

[Triple A]

How come this match is happening again, didn't it just happen like in the last week or two, what's the explanation

[Triple A]

Dave Meltzer always talks about how Braun Strowman looks like shit when he runs but I think he runs pretty well for a big man!

[slik]

Someone in the audience held up a Confederate Flag during AJ's entrance tonight

[rez]

If Pizza Hut is all in on the old school rebranding...they need to get rid of the slogan, "No One Out Pizzas the Hut". Clearly...they are out pizza'n you.....

[rez]

I'd bring back Crystal Pepsi as a Pizza Hut exclusive and change their pizza up

[Emperor Smeat]

Styles channeling his inner Nakamura with that kick to Braun's nuts.

[xrodmuc316]

Dave Meltzer always talks about how Braun Strowman looks like shit when he runs but I think he runs pretty well for a big man!

Meltzer always talking about how other people look, but he is one of the ugliest MFer ever

[xrodmuc316]

Baker Mayfield about to get Straight Up Steve Austined!

[slik]

Wow what a dumb ending and bad show overall this week!

Yikes!

[Emperor Smeat]

That was one of the dumbest ever endings to a match in WWE history.

[Triple A]

I think Meltzer looks handsome

[rez]

Austin is a Cleveland Browns fan now. It's going to be a special year there.

[#1-norm-fan]

We should all choose a Primetime Wrestling episode to watch live next week and comment on instead of shitty Raw. WHO’S WITH ME?

[Tom Guycott]

I'm still trying to figure out why she had to have a wig on for any of this to work.

Prob'ly expected this to work like Sting in the Sting mask.

[Tom Guycott]

Ive got a new hair color.......because I'm EVIL!!!!

:mouth moving for five seconds before sound happens: "... INDEEEEEEED!"

[Tom Guycott]

Hope Baron Corbin wins...

TRIPLE A TURNS HEEL!!!

Greatest announcement in the history of our sport.

"That's good shit!"

I seriously wish Ziggy left when he was rumored to be, and selfishly wish he had become the NWA champion. Or at least went to Japan or Europe for a hot minute. Wonder how much different he would be looked at now with the added fresh surroundings?

[slik]

The RAW Tag Team Championship match at Clash of Champions involves two teams that were randomly formed within the last week.
