RAW's new tag champs getting no reaction is pretty bad. Then again same for Smackdown's new tag champs.

WWE needs to seriously rehaul their tag divisions starting at top with Vince and Creative's poor mentality towards it.

Viking Raiders /w Black Loki

[Supreme Olajuwon]

On some random trip to Asia, Michael Cole decides to go on an impromptu hike through the jungles. While there, he takes a sniff of what he thinks is just a harmless wildflower. What he doesn’t know is that he’s also inhaling the spores of a dangerous and deadly fungus. The fungus plants itself in Michael’s lungs and soon begins to grow at a rapid pace. Michael struggles to breath as the pain of the moment is only surpassed by the terror of knowing death will soon come.

Wouldn’t that be great?

[Emperor Smeat]

Viking Raiders abruptly turning face all because of a random promo from a jobber is still one of the strangest things to happen this year in WWE.

I wonder what No Way Jose thought he was going to be doing on the main roster compared to what he actually is doing

His commentary is so fucking annoying.

[slik]

So far this is a straight up wrestling match and I really like that. I am ok with either one winning

[Emperor Smeat]

For something meant to be the KotR finals, WWE could have at least spruced up the stage or video apron with some KotR colors and visuals to make it feel more special.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Doctor: Michael, you have inoperable bowel cancer.

Michael: Could it be?

Doctor: It is.




Sigh, maybe some day.

[GD]

Jesus, Graves is extra unbearable when Corbin, Alexa Bliss and Mandy Rose are in the ring. The NXT commentary team is lightyears ahead of this combination.

I like how the WWE constantly plays it off like the King of the Ring has any sort of power only to never ever utilize it

Is it really? I didn’t even know they were heels. I just thought they were squashing people.

They should do this with King of the Ring and with other things. For a company that gets so much production praise, they really do confirm themselves to the straight and narrow.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Has King of the Ring ever helped anybody? Owen Hart, maybe? Did Kurt Angle really get a boost from winning it?

Brock Lesnar was awarded a WWE Championship match at SummerSlam 2002.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I want a Chad Gable vs. Brock Lesnar match.

[Sepholio]

That was a beautiful sequence.

[slik]

This is a really good match

[Mr. Nerfect]

Brock Lesnar was awarded a WWE Championship match at SummerSlam 2002.

Yeah, but he was tearing through the roster anyway. I’d say destroying Hogan and actually winning the championship did more to make him than technically winning a tournament they scrapped right after.

I consider Brock one of the more successful King of the Rings, but it’s not like the tournament itself helped him.

[GD]

This is a really good match

Agreed. Corbin has consistently had good matches throughout the tournament.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Michael Cole ruining that false finish with his call.

Wish he would ruin his children’s inheritance by racking up a chemotherapy bill

[Mr. Nerfect]

Gable had a fun match with Jinder Mahal. With Jinder Mahal.

[slik]

That was a great, 20 minute match.

All Hail King Corbin, our new KOTR!

I don't believe any tournament has single handedly elevated someone's career.

[rez]

Well, at least Gable came off looking good and didn't squash him

[Mr. Nerfect]

I’m glad Corbin won, because it might mean he’ll be mid-card for a long time.

[KIRA]

That was a cool match

[Emperor Smeat]

Gable vs Corbin was great but :lol: at WWE reviving King of the Ring just for Corbin to win it.

Probably the best series of matches Corbin has had on the main roster but still hilarious that was the end result WWE wanted.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don't believe any tournament has single handedly elevated someone's career.

The G1? It seems to help guys.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Is the “Baron” in Baron Corbin a name or a title?

[KIRA]

I suddenly want Corey Graves to get throat polyps the size of golf balls

The same logic applies where the potential winner was already being pushed or primed for success.

Did Columbo have a glass eye, or was it just Peter Falk that had a glass eye.

I hope they make him exclusive to a show once the draft takes place.

[Ben Rodrigues]

A face hasn't won since 2001 as they want to change the gimmick of the winner into a literal king.

[Emperor Smeat]

Was Bret Hart the last good guy to win KotR?

[Evil Vito]

I’m sure that winning King of the Ring will do wonders for Corbin’s career, just ask Wade Barrett.

I think it was Edge.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The same logic applies where the potential winner was already being pushed or primed for success.

Yeah, but the tournament itself helps them. I think there’s been one guy that has won at the Dome because of it. And I might be wrong, but I think there have been times where the tournament itself is the push. I’m thinking Naito and Omega, but I might be wrong.

Comparatively, the King of the Ring is more an anchor. You can be getting a push and then the tournament ruins it. The guy I will say it helped is Booker T. The King Booker gimmick may have mixed critical response, but it did put Booker in the SmackDown main events.

[GD]

Ummm...did anyone else see the Dawn commercial?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I can think of one

The promo and the Bret feud were far more important. Winning didn’t hurt Austin though.

Without the King of the Ring there is no Austin 3:16. He was only accidentally pushed because Triple H was being punished for the Kliq.

[GD]

Oh yeah! Austin 3:16 was very important.

[slik]

Ricochet is a damn jezebel

[xrodmuc316]

No wonder Kacy trying to quit NXT since her man out there getting Maria pregnant.

Ummm think Rusev has some explaining to do with Lana.

HOLY SHIT! RUSEV IS BACK :eek:

I am so over this stupid storyline. It's degrading and pathetic.

Cesaro's not dressed to compete.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Why is there a mandate that the play by play guy has to say so and so is rolling before they cut to a commercial break?

Cole does it all the time and should die slowly. But Phillips does it too and he should be badly injured at least.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Without the King of the Ring there is no Austin 3:16. He was only accidentally pushed because Triple H was being punished for the Kliq.

I get what you’re saying, but I think Austin could cut that promo beating Jake at IYH: Wipe Your Ass or whatever. It’s not the King of the Ring push itself that helps Austin. He’s working Yokozuna in the pre-show match at SummerSlam. Vader could have won KOTR and everything could have played out exactly the same way.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Was it implied Rusev fucked Maria or that Ricochet fucked Maria.

[slik]

Why is Cesaro wrestling in dress pants

[GD]

Was it implied Rusev fucked Maria or that Ricochet fucked Maria.

Maria stated that Ricochet wasn't the father. She didn't explicitly suggest that Rusev was the father either.

[Evil Vito]

Vince is totally the type of person who would be bitter that Mike and Maria waited until after they signed new contracts to tell him that Maria was pregnant again.

This awful storyline feels like it’s meant to humiliate them.

[GD]

A heel is dominating a face after a commercial break? That's refreshing.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I’ve got a wrestling conspiracy theory:

Vince is getting back at people he doesn’t like that work for him. He’s learnt he can’t punish people overtly, so he makes it look like they’re getting a push first. If he gets caught, there are scapegoats.

Kevin Owens: Make him look like Steve Austin for a few weeks, even get him to do the Stunner to draw the comparison. Then make him look like a passive geek that a tired Shane can whip. That will teach you to not go to Saudi Arabia. Blame Bischoff.

Kofi Kingston: We’ll give you the WWE Title, but we’ll structure the matches to make you look like a bitch when you’re fighting for your family so the crowd will lose all interest in you. That will teach you to make statements about Hogan. Blame the agent.

The Kanellis angle: That will teach you to get over on your own and bang Lana, fleece us out of $500,000 contracts and finger your butthole. Blame Heyman.

[GD]

Cesaro's one of the most consistent jobbers on Monday Night RAW in recent times.

[Emperor Smeat]

Firefly Funhouse is going to quickly lose a lot of its luster if the plan is to run a bunch of them per RAW episode for Bray's feud with Rollins.

Already had 3 Funhouse segments aired tonight and RAW still has an hour left to go.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Re-Cesaro: It’s sadly the most high profile he has felt since 2014. Fuck, that is so long ago now. The time since that prospective push is about Eddie Guerrero’s history with WWE years old.

Has King of the Ring ever helped anybody? Owen Hart, maybe? Did Kurt Angle really get a boost from winning it?

The only ones I remember it doing anything for at all were Austin (because of a subsequent promo), Regal (because of a subsequent promo), and Booker T (because of a subsequent taking of the gimmick to the Nth degree with the fake accent and his wife playing along). And I also remember the time WWE thought Billy Gunn was going to be a huge singles star from it that was about as forced as the Lex Express. It didn't really do anything for him, but I remember it.

I'm also intentionally not counting Macho <s>Man</s> King. He prob'ly would have done that even without a tourney, and it would have been just a glorious.


And truthfully, Owen made more out of winning two Slammys than being KotR.

[Sixx]

Read the results.

It sounds like WWE is worse than ever.

[Droford]

Thoughts

Seth came off stupid talking to the Firefly Funhouse Skit

Braun might need to take a few months off to get away from how bad his loss to Seth was for him as "a monster"

Gable/Corbin was the best match either has ever had

Becky vs Sasha HIAC > Seth vs Fiend HIAC

R Truth and 24/7 has run its course

Rusev looks good physically but the dumb haircut & mustache ruin it

They didn't think through Seth vs Fiend as a HIAC match unless they come up with a super screwy finish so Seth Retains without winning which in a HIAC match seems hard to pull off.

Can Beat Wyatt get drafted to Smackdown and wrestle there with the Fiend getting drafted to RAW?

[Gerard]

Kane comes out, delivers 2 shit chokeslams then inexplicably goes for his pyro "pose" despite not having it for over a year....ok

[Droford]

You knew it wasn't going off because of the new ringposts

[Gerard]

You knew it wasn't going off because of the new ringposts

Yup, you could always see the pyro tubes tied to the posts in the past so knew he was going to make an appearance. With led's being slapped over everything on the ring there's not any real easy way to mount them to the posts.

[Droford]

Fiend should keep stealing wrestlers moves after he attacks them. Attacked Foley stole the mandible claw, attacked Balor - coup de gras (lol), attacked Angle - Ankle lock Attacked Rollins - stomp attacked Kane - chokeslam

[Stickman]

It doesn't make any sense to me that the KoTR finals is buried early-mid Raw where absolutely nobody gives a shit.

[Gerard]

It doesn't make any sense to me that the KoTR finals is buried early-mid Raw where absolutely nobody gives a shit.

Does anything about wwe in general make much sense? Their shows are phoned in turds that seem to have had about 30 seconds of thought put into them.

[Sepholio]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the placement of the KotR finals has nothing to do with why people don't give a shit. Everyone being sour on the guy who won and was clearly going to win from the start does, though.

[Evil Vito]

Paul Heyman reportedly wrote this episode by himself.

It doesn't make any sense to me that the KoTR finals is buried early-mid Raw where absolutely nobody gives a shit.

[Droford]

Is the “Baron” in Baron Corbin a name or a title?

His real name is Thomas Pestock so I want to believe it's a title

a member of the lowest order of the British nobility. The term “Baron” is not used as a form of address in Britain, barons usually being referred to as “Lord.”.



He needs to pull a Regal and demand to be called Lord Corbin

Paul Heyman reportedly wrote this episode by himself.

For all the praise Heyman got online when it was revealed he was taking over RAW's creative, he's been very hit-or-miss in terms of show quality since then.

Has King of the Ring ever helped anybody? Owen Hart, maybe? Did Kurt Angle really get a boost from winning it?

I agree with the sentiment of the question but you could expand it across virtually everything WWE does at least in recent times. When was the Rumble winner legit better off post win? Sole survivor in a Survivor Series Elimination Match? They piss it away within 3 months. Look at how they treated both sets of newly crowned Tag Champs on this show.

What was that weird dainty little walk Charlotte did before she hit the boot

She was wearing ridiculous high heels as she was coming down the ramp. She’d have gone arse over tit if she’d taken full strides into that kick.

King of the Ring helped this Austin 3:16 thing, so yeah...

Let's see, Baron Corbin has won:

The U.S. Title
Andre Battle Royal
Money in the Bank
King of the Ring

He's also been the GM and the "Constable" of Raw.

What else can they do to make him a thing?
