Considering the brand spit has been around since 2016, they're yet to integrate Tom Philips, Renee Young, Mauro Ranallo and others in to the game. The LED ring aprons and posts still look horrendous, there are countless ring announcer errors which are never corrected, nor is the issue with multiple titles acknowledged. They've been coasting by for a while now. If there is one thing that they're consistent with is the availability of legends like Brutus Beefcake, Greg Valentine, Papa Shango, Tatanka, Big Boss Man, Colonel Mustafa etc.

[Droford]

They finally got around to adding Southpaw Regional Wrestling from 3 years ago. As dlc

[Tom Guycott]

For realsies? Like, I can play as Clint Bobski or Porkchop Jones? I can have a Women's match with Debbie Desperado vs... uh... I guess she wins by default.

[Gerard]

Surprised flair is there with this lawsuit he has against them. As for the new set etc, pretty sure i seen mentioned they're bringing pyro back to tv.

[Volare]

Probably their peace offering for a easy payday.

You’re asking a lot given they can’t get a title belt to sit on a shoulder correctly after more than 2 decades.

[Droford]

It's weird there's a PPV Sunday but like zero hype for it vs SD on fox

[Jordan]

Very encouraging start to running 3 major brands on prime time cable and network TV huh?

[GD]

New set

https://i.redd.it/ojlj6urw4sp31.jpg

[Jordan]

They stole AEW's rainbow gimmick!

[Jordan]

Anyone know who won US Flag vs Gay Flag at PWC???

[ClockShot]

I'll tune for a little bit to see how this new announce team does.

[GD]

Anyone know who won US Flag vs Gay Flag at PWC???

The fans in attendance won as they got to see a black man and a gay man beat each other up. That's important in their culture.

[GD]

Just realized that they haven't updated the RAW graphics on WWE.com yet.

[slik]

I like the new set

Any chance since it's the season premier, the main event will end with a clean pinfall?

[Emperor Smeat]

It's weird there's a PPV Sunday but like zero hype for it vs SD on fox

WWE is terrible at planning out things in advance. Even worse when they have 2-3 weeks to build a PPV.

WWE had way too much stuff with higher priority hogging almost all of the focus and hype the past few weeks.

[Jordan]

Any chance since it's the season premier, the main event will end with a clean pinfall?

I can't see how that will happen.

Feel like they should have gone with a wider Tron/entrance stage since the square design sticks out a bit too much compared to the set design.

[Sepholio]

Who is gonna be the first person out tonight? Corbin I bet.

[Jordan]

Who is gonna be the first person out tonight? Corbin I bet.

Prob Seth. I hate him now you know.

[rez]

New set

https://i.redd.it/ojlj6urw4sp31.jpg

IT'S Unikitty!

[Jordan]

IDK I guess I'm just a normal internet tool who hates WWE top babyfaces until the have overcome real life adversity in front of our very eyes.

[Sepholio]

well damn

[rez]

Welp...that's the pyro budget for the year

[GD]

New signature music and intro.

[Evil Vito]

Set looks like a half pipe. Should’ve picked something from the soundtrack to the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series.

[ClockShot]

Eventually, someone's gonna get the idea to grab a piece of wax cardboard and slide off that Titantron since it's got that slope on the bottom.

[Sepholio]

Like the new set honestly, especially the pyro set up. Not sure how I feel about the new theme song though. And I rather like the band Skillet. But the theme just didn't fit for me.

[GD]

Pyro :love:

[ClockShot]

Yep. Just shove that camera right in Dom's face.

[GD]

Jerry Lawler seems optimistic.

[ClockShot]

Uh-oh. Brock and The Boss.

[Triple A]

Feeling comforted by Jerry Lawler's voice

[Triple A]

omg announce team is so much better based on the 45 seconds I've been listening

[rez]

Lesnar gonna take Dominick to Suplex City

[Emperor Smeat]

Brand new season but still starts off with the same old trope of a promo segment.

[Jordan]

Rey's jacket is dope AS F.

[ClockShot]

Ain't nothing better than a show-opening sacrifice.

[Sepholio]

lol if Dom kicks Lesnars ass.

[GD]

Quite a reception for Lesnar

[Evil Vito]

They’re gonna have to change the Raw and Smackdown openings in a couple of weeks assuming the networks are big on the “no cross promotion” stuff.

The Women’s Tag and 24/7 titles might have to become brand exclusive if that’s the case. I’d guess Fox would get the 24/7 title with a bunch of people from Fox shows coming in for title reigns.

[Jordan]

Feeling comforted by Jerry Lawler's voice

Yes me too. Imagine how you will feel hearing Tony and JR.

Looks like Rey isn't gonna be in a championship match tonight!

[ClockShot]

Just sit there and take it, boy.

[KIRA]

I guess they decided enough people didn't know who Rey Mysterio was so they ask him to plaster it all over his body

[Jordan]

I've been wanting to see Walter vs Brock... I'll take Dominick though!

[ClockShot]

:yes:

[GD]

Looks like Rey Rey is interfering in the WWE Championship match tomorrow.

[Nicky Fives]

Dominick cane take a bump pretty good..... Storm Wrestling academy knows what it is doing

[GD]

Holy shit! Dominic taking bumps.

[ClockShot]

C'mon Brock. Throw Rey like 30 rows deep. You can do it.

[Jordan]

Damn that was good! Having King sell it was key!

Oh boy it's not over! Jesus he's gonna kill'em.

[Triple A]

Interesting @ seemingly no heel announcer on Raw since I guess Lawler is gonna be a face

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Lesnar almost flung Rey out of the ring

[rez]

They probably should drop the teenager angle. lol

Advertisers aren't gonna be happy

[Sepholio]

C'mon Brock. Throw Rey like 30 rows deep. You can do it.
legit lol @ this

[Jordan]

Fuck anyone who bitches about WWE using legends. Obviously it's the best shit.

[GD]

Jesus, what a segment. Way to kickoff RAW.

[Evil Vito]

I guess the face WWE locker room are cowards

[GD]

Interesting @ seemingly no heel announcer on Raw since I guess Lawler is gonna be a face

I am okay with this.

[Triple A]

Good segment

[GD]

Did I just hear someone say "one more...one more" :lol:

[Jordan]

Brock looks like he's gonna go insane! Hahaha what a prick!

[erickman]

Interesting @ seemingly no heel announcer on Raw since I guess Lawler is gonna be a face

no lawler just hates hymen, kind of like bobby the brain hated Hogan

[Jordan]

no lawler just hates hymen, kind of like bobby the brain hated Hogan

Contrary, court records show Lawler loves hymen.

[ClockShot]

Oh no, the cops were called. :roll:

[slik]

Commentary sort of really bad

[ClockShot]

Wait for it...…..

[rez]

Damnit, Lawler. He's 22...This isn't Melrose Place

[Evil Vito]

Lol those are some shitty EMTs

[Jordan]

Commentary sort of really bad

WELL LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN...

Give it some time, I don't think it's going bad.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the medics and everyone else just half-assing putting Dominic on the stretcher.

[Evil Vito]

Would love to experience 90 seconds of Bliss

[Triple A]

Commentary sort of really bad

Like 6000x better than the previous team imo

[GD]

Crowd is really loud tonight

[Emperor Smeat]

Can't tell if WWE is using new cam mics and the crowd is extra hot tonight or they might be pumping in crowd sounds since the audio sounds a bit messed up.

[rez]

Commentary sort of really bad

Harry fucking Carey and Harry Doyle could suck at commentary with Vinny Mac in their ear all night

[Evil Vito]

With pyro being back the big losers are the announcers for having to sit mere feet away from the explosion.

[Jordan]

I don't like the actual entrance door on the new stage but otherwise it's a good improvement.

[Evil Vito]

Damnit, Lawler. He's 22...This isn't Melrose Place

Lawler assumes everyone is a teenager because...reasons.

[GD]

Teleportation can't come any sooner.

Srly. Ever been to a Rammstein concert? You can feel their pyro across the damn arena.. well, their's is fire but still

:rofl:

[Evil Vito]

HOLLER IF YOU HEAR ME

[GD]

Srly. Ever been to a Rammstein concert? You can feel their pyro across the damn arena.. well, their's is fire but still

I almost died when the Usos' old pyro hit.

[Emperor Smeat]

If that Batista DLC pack includes him having a Batista Bomb as a melee attack, I'd buy Gears 5 in a heartbeat.

[Triple A]

Can't tell if WWE is using new cam mics and the crowd is extra hot tonight or they might be pumping in crowd sounds since the audio sounds a bit messed up.

I wish they would pump in like a "base layer" of crowd noise tbh... Like WCW Nitros... always made the arena seem incredibly loud and sweet

[KIRA]

WTF lol ambulance alarm just going off out of nowhere

[rez]

So sick of Becky. I can't wait until she takes her ass to Friday SD

[Emperor Smeat]

Sasha vs. Bliss was sort of a mess and not because of the in-ring stuff but because of all the stuff happening on the side during it.

[Jordan]

That segment sucked. Reminded me of a Diva's match.

[Jordan]

LOL @ the guy Holding his title in red shorts near Sasha just LOL @ HIM!

[slik]

I don't h8 new commentary at all, just think Vic and Dio will grow into it as it goes on

[Triple A]

Wish Jesse Ventura was on commentary instead of Dio Maddin, talking about 9/11 conspiracy theories and stuff during Raw

[slik]

Becky & Sasha start brawling

Lawler: THe Claws Have Come Out!

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at WWE potentially pulling a bait-and-switch with the Universal title match tonight.

Makes last week's elimination match even more useless and meaningless if it does happen.

[Jordan]

I think that Rey will win the championship tonight and end up facing Lesnar at Suvivor Series. The Fiend will cost Seth the championship tonight and defeat him in a non title match at HIAC. Bray will take off until after Survivor Series where he will eat Rey Mysterio at TLC or The Rumble and go on to face The Demon Finn Balor (who will win the Royal Rumble) at WM for the Universal Champion.

[KIRA]

Here's hoping Bray Wyatt comes out and destroys Hogan and Ric Flair before they can start flapping their old mouth holes
Especially Hogan

[slik]

Jordan X with big predictions!

[Jordan]

:lol: at WWE potentially pulling a bait-and-switch with the Universal title match tonight.

They won't bait and switch. Rey is the most resilient WWE champion of all time. Remember when he won a tournament on Raw and beat John Cena for the Championship? Did you think that was going to happen? It's Mysterio season brothers. WWE needs Mexican viewers to edge up the ratings. He will merely be a pawn in a bigger story as usual, his story will end up involving his son of course.

Yeah doubt they actually do it but found it pretty fun they are even teasing doing it. A few months ago they were getting a lot of complaints for all the actual bait-and-switching being done at house shows because of the Wild Card rule.

[Jordan]

Man they need to re-brand the titles big time. WWE Championships have never looked worse than they do right now.

[Jordan]

If they don't deliver Rey and whomever they do deliver isn't CM Punk then I will probably not like it.

[GD]

The tag champs were waiting in the ring like chumps throughout the commercial and backstage segment.

[Jordan]

This is a big match!

[GD]

Don't you dare :mad:

[Jordan]

Just thinking ...

Miz TV with Hogan and Flair right? And insider reports say Morrison has resigned. May they be using Flair and Hogan to embellish the re-debut of John Morrison?

[GD]

actually really prefer this to graves/renee/cole

My ears aren't bleeding from the constant bickering so that's good.

[Triple A]

Wish Vince McMahon would suddenly decide to ban boring ass shitty rest holds in matches "on a whim"

[Jordan]

Dio Madden .. IDK enough about him... if he's a fan, if he knows wrestling. I don't mind his sound at all I like his voice. It's gonna take some time for him to learn. But he's working with King so once he develops some personality I bet we will see him blossom. I mean Heyman picked him so, I trust that.

[Sepholio]

OTTTTTTIIIISSSSSS

[Sepholio]

THE MOUTH

[Emperor Smeat]

Tag title match was pretty good overall.

[GD]

Roode picking up a ton of victories as of late. Otis was an absolute delight.

[Evil Vito]

King needs to let Dio come in and talk more.

[Jordan]

King needs to let Dio come in and talk more.

I think the dude doesn't really know what to say you know.

[Evil Vito]

Hogan segment? Click.

Will check back in 15 min.

[Jordan]

I don't like the Miz you guys.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the boos for Miz giving a get well shout out to Rey and Dominic.

[slik]

miz seems really over

[Jordan]

Damn Ric Flair looking like Harley Race when Race was managing Vader.

[Sepholio]

So maybe I'm Mandela effecting some shit but why did Flairs entrance video say 17-time world champion?

[Emperor Smeat]

:rofl: at the title reign number botch for Flair's tron.

How the hell did they manage to both screw up the number of title reigns he has and not catch that mistake beforehand.

[Nicky Fives]

I wonder how much WWE HR shelled out for Flair's suit....

[Jordan]

OMG Hogan looking like Superstar Billy Graham more than ever lol.

WWE letting us know, yet again, "Sonya" is gay. :roll:

[Jordan]

Man Hogan has shrunk.

[GD]

Man Hogan has shrunk.

Leg drops, man.

[Jordan]

Flair gonna go heel. LOL

[Sepholio]

Flair :(

[rez]

Jimmy is 76 years old. Crazy

[Emperor Smeat]

Starting to think WWE really is pumping in crowd cheers since very few in the crowd were cheering as wildly as it sounded for Hogan and its been almost the same high pitched cheer every time.

[slik]

Is Flair drunk

[rez]

I feel like Hogan injects his pythons with botox

[Sepholio]

lol grumpy old man

[Nicky Fives]

really want Bray to take them all out....

[Jordan]

What in the fuck is this.... ech.....

[Sepholio]

Is Flair drunk

Yeah he is definitely off a little. Think its just his age and health catching up to him though.

[rez]

Come on out, Sting!

[Jordan]

This is like the Nacho Man and Hukster ads lol.

[Gerard]

Is Flair drunk

https://i.imgur.com/lV4WywU.jpg

[Sepholio]

OMG BRAY FOR FLAIRS CAPTAIN PLEASE lmao

[rez]

Flair probably gonna die on the flight to "The Kingdom"

[Triple A]

What a deflating way to announce that match, making it seem like Hogan and Flair are gonna wrestle then casually say they're gonna be "coaches"

[Jordan]

Goddamn that was so bad. So so so bad.

[Jordan]

What a deflating way to announce that match, making it seem like Hogan and Flair are gonna wrestle then casually say they're gonna be "coaches"

:lol::rofl:

I know. And then they got Survivor Series a few weeks later... what the fuck kind of booking is this?

[Sepholio]

ok, scratch that, have Bray come out now and kill everyone except for Seth and steal the legend killer gimmick from Randy.

[Nicky Fives]

I am very surprised Flair & Hogan weren't in the match.....

[Gerard]

One more match, lol. 136 years between them in the ring at once ffs.

[Sepholio]

lol wtf

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems really dumb to hold a Survivor Series match like a month before the actual PPV.

[Jordan]

Okay Orton and Flair together is instantly 10x better than everything else on the show.

[Sepholio]

Corbin is Ortons first pick I see

[rez]

Ugh..Here comes the Scrub King

[Emperor Smeat]

So are they not holding the Universal title match latter since Rollins is wrestling now?

This has been a bit of a mess of a show soo far in terms of direction with all the stuff that has gone down.

[rez]

Hey....something for Rusev to do. cool

[erickman]

Hogan flair in 2019 who would have thought that.

does this match have any stakes or is it just an OLD GUY DOES A THING AND OTHER OLD GUY DOES A THING BUT NEITHER OF THEM ACTUALLY DO A THING match

[Evil Vito]

I would’ve given Hogan a breakaway chair and pretend I didn’t know what happened

[Jordan]

Well there goes my theory. I could see Brock winning the Championship from Kofi on Smackdown and Rey being drafted there and entering a program together.

[Emperor Smeat]

1375 episodes of RAW means somewhere around early 2022 is going to be the 1500th episode of RAW.

Wonder how many of those episodes were actually good to great. Probably in the 400 range.

[GD]

Charly be thirsting over Rusev.

[slik]

I wish we were getting Seth vs Rey instead of Rusev tbh

[Triple A]

Feel like this match has happened like 4 weeks in a row (even if it hasn't)

Raw spiraling down the shitter after good opening

[GD]

lmao larping

[Triple A]

Gallows and Anderson are the wrestlers I most "don't get" why so many people like them... Unbearably boring...

[xrodmuc316]

He will merely be a pawn in a bigger story as usual, his story will end up involving his son of course.

That's not what happened. He won the tourney by beating Miz to become champion, then lost the title that same night to Cena. Then Punk came back and they just had 2 WWE champions for a few weeks.

[rez]

I'm afraid FOX might have Lesnar throw Rey over the border wall

[rez]

San Diego Zoo wall

FRANK THOMAS! :love:

[rez]

Gallows and Anderson are the wrestlers I most "don't get" why so many people like them... Unbearably boring...

They're funny as hell when allowed to be

[Triple A]

Back from commercial, immediately into a rest hold by Gallows... think I am gonna give up on Raw 2night...

[Emperor Smeat]

Took almost 2 hours for the 1st NXT commercial to air on RAW.

Kind of bad considering this week is the first 2 hour show on USA Network, TakeOver-like in terms of card, and head-to-head debut against AEW Dynamite. Also first week where there is no Smackdown on Tuesday to help carry the hype and viewers for NXT.

[GD]

"stunned silence" :lol:

[rez]

I'm really pulling for the "B" show RAW now. They're making it hard tho...

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if the Gallows & Anderson sort of regret signing new contracts with WWE since they've been mostly an afterthought since losing the RAW tag belts.

Sasha likely going to be in a similar situation once her current push ends considering she decided to recently sign a contract extension despite having years left on her current deal.

[slik]

This show is starting to go off the rails

Not sure...I think AJ got them paid pretty well so he'd stay.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ricochet still a bit awkward on the mic. They really need to stop giving him weekly promos or at the very least, give him better material/wording to work with.

That look always reminds me if Banks transitioned to male.

[GD]

Ummm...Cesaro's new ring gear is awkward.

[Jordan]

If I was was booking WWE Cesaro would have already beaten Brock in the main event of Summerslam or Wrestlemania. But also Ken Shamrock would be like a really big deal.

[rez]

There is still over an hour left..

[Jordan]

Awesome finish from Ricochet.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ricochet vs Cesaro was pretty good overall.

[Triple A]

Ricochet still a bit awkward on the mic. They really need to stop giving him weekly promos or at the very least, give him better material/wording to work with.

Really bad, 98% of the roster is incredibly uncharismatic...

[GD]

Cesaro has been relegated to jobber status. A bit sad.

[Jordan]

Seriously what was with his new ring attire.

[Triple A]

It sucks that it's day 1 of the "new era" of wrestling and I already feel burnt out on wrestling

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Total Divas getting more commercials than NXT soo far.

[rez]

I feel really bad for Sister Abigail & Friends..

[Jordan]

AEW confirmed to air on TSN...

[Emperor Smeat]

RIP again Rambling Rabbit

[rez]

AEW confirmed to air on TSN...

Is that good or bad?

[Emperor Smeat]

Audio quality on these Firefly Fun House skits has gone to shit these past couple of weeks.

[Jordan]

Is it known that Mercy is voiced by Vince McMahon?

[GD]

Awwwwww...

[Jordan]

Is that good or bad?

Airing live in Canada so yes, very good for the Canadians.

[GD]

Is it known that Mercy is voiced by Vince McMahon?

That's not right.

[Jordan]

That's not right.

It is I swear.

[rez]

Cedric's graphic is so Windows 95

[GD]

Where's Lacey Evans?

[Jordan]

Does anyone thing 2k20 is work buying? I mean I really couldn't get into the whole engine on 2k16 and 17. So will I probably just hate it?

[GD]

No pyro for Styles

[GD]

horny

[Evil Vito]

Huskus’ horrified scream at the prospect of a world without chocolate. I think I’ve found my spirit animal.

I'd wait for reviews. It has some nice changes made but also not a good sign of confidence from 2K Games if they are still sticking with a late hype cycle for this year's game.

Plus WWE games usually are on sale during Black Friday so might as well wait an extra month and get it for around $35 instead of $60.

No chocolate? That's Black Widow's dream!

[GD]

Crowd really behind Cedric's offense.

[Emperor Smeat]

Styles vs Cedric was pretty good overall.

Been a pretty one sided feud between the two in favor of Styles.

[rez]

Are The Street Prophets modeled after Three 6 Mafia? So Juicy J

[Evil Vito]

Montez Ford seems like he does 10 pounds of coke before he does one of these backstage promos

[Emperor Smeat]

So Heyman still has no idea what to do with the Street Profits if they are still stuck doing backstage skits for RAW.

At least NXT remembered they need to actually wrestle once in a while.

[GD]

horny

:love::love::love:

[Emperor Smeat]

:| Another boring Natty vs Lacey match about to happen.

[GD]

There's nothing boring about Lacey, Smelly.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Vic Joseph complaining Lacey won because she cheated by grabbing Natty's tights despite Natty not really wearing one.

[rez]

Cena and Paul wearing the same suit

Props, Cena. Like always

[rez]

Sick of Maria's thing

[GD]

Heyman with the spoiler warning :eek:

[rez]

Jerry drives a Hybrid Prius imo

Who is in the limo?

[Emperor Smeat]

Why are Randy and Corbin just randomly standing on the stage?

[rez]

Why are Randy and Corbin just randomly standing on the stage?

probably gonna get clawed

[xrodmuc316]

Why are Randy and Corbin just randomly standing on the stage?

Better question, why was Randy handling Corbin's scepter so gently? :naughty:

[rez]

lol. bray graphic to open the commercial break

Maybe Cain Velasquez?

[rez]

Maybe Cain Velasquez?

They'd put him on Friday SD but maybe

[xrodmuc316]

Yeah for sure, but they could show him tonight to create hype forFriday
