Nah

[XL]

Is that everything they’re advertising for this week?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Let’s have a contest about how many times during his promo Seth Rollins will start a sentence with one of these phrases:

You see...
Guys...
The fact of the matter is...
You know what...
Let me tell you...
Here’s the thing...


Closest guess without going over will receive a fabulous prize. Let’s see those guesses!

Bukkake Warriors vs Charlotte in a who squirts first match.

[ClockShot]

*shrugs*

If the show opens up with the Raw roster beating the shit out of Seth Rollins, that might hold my attention for a little while.

[slik]

RAW should open with Kevin Owens dressed as Tugboat and Sami Zayn dressed as The Mountie

A.O.P. rolling up in their wannabe A-Team van.

[ClockShot]

Samoa Joe on commentary?

Okay then.

[erickman]

Samoa Joe on commentary?

Okay then.

they should keep him there for awhile.

[ClockShot]

TV-PG just went bye bye.

[Droford]

AOP are TBD

[rez]

Really good show so far!

[Emperor Smeat]

Opening segment was whatever.

Guess on the bright side, at least it didn't led to a random tag match right after like WWE almost always does whenever a bunch of people suddenly show up during the opening promo segment.

[Sepholio]

YOU BASIC CANDY EATER PIZZA EATER BASIC BASIC EVERY DAY MAN

[Emperor Smeat]

AOP just beating the crap out of Owens for a few minutes would have been way more interesting and less annoying than this Lana & Owens stuff.

[ClockShot]

Commercial.

That fast.

:roll:

[rez]

Vince's grandchildren conveniently forget to tell him about bring your grandparents to school day.

[ClockShot]

Rusev's under the ring, isn't he?

[erickman]

[ClockShot]

Some cops.

[Droford]

Rusev has a mugshot shirt

[rez]

Can we go back to 45 minutes of McMahon

[Droford]

Reddit don't lie

[ClockShot]

This is so bad it's great.

[ClockShot]

THAT'S ASSAULT!

[Emperor Smeat]

:| More Lana & Lashley stuff tonight.

This is going to be like last week's SmackDown where too much time was spent on just a couple people.

[Droford]

Bonus Lana arrest not mentioned in spoilees

[GD]

Damn @ Lana's top

[ClockShot]

Heh heh. Even sprung for some cheap cop lights.

[slik]

this show sucks

[GD]

Lawler is insufferable.

[Emperor Smeat]

Whoever came up with the Lana/Lashley stuff tonight probably should get put in a box and mailed to Antarctica.

Poke a few holes in the box to make sure the person has some air and light and toss in some snacks for the trip.

[erickman]

lana being such a bad actor is the only thing that saves that angle

[Emperor Smeat]

Drew states he's upset at Orton for being cryptic about things on Twitter so his evidence is showing him getting eye poked by Orton last week.

How are those two even related?

[DrA]

Monday Night RAW is trending worldwide on Twitter right now, good job guys.

[GD]

This might be one of the weakest McIntyre promos in a long time.

[Droford]

Uncle Allen...lol

[Droford]

Cue the Street Profits?

I guess not

[slik]

This is bad

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Carrillo's new theme.

This whole segment quickly turned into a giant mess.

[slik]

Monday Night RAW is trending worldwide on Twitter right now, good job guys.

Lashley is #15 worldwide in Twitter trends so far...that's it

[GD]

Love how WWE is annihilating former Cruiserweight Champions on RAW and Smackdown. Makes me want to tune into 205 Live even more.

[slik]

crowd dead

[Emperor Smeat]

Feels like the whole purpose of 205 Live being included in the Draft was just to pad the rosters with more jobbers.

Outside of Carrillo, nobody else drafted from there has won a match on RAW or Smackdown since then. Even Carrillo looked like that was going to be his destiny until very recently.

[Droford]

Eric Young on RAW

[slik]

eric young...

...

[Schlomey]

i haven't had cable in a year or 2.....and i missed the rare eric young appearance that wont be shown on the hulu version? laaame.

[Droford]

Eric Young should have avoided the tattoo artist

[Emperor Smeat]

Eric Young sort of looks like a tattooed and slightly bulkier version of Steve Austin during his "Ringmaster" days.

[Triple A]

Want to watch a JOI video where Zelina Vega yells at me...

[Emperor Smeat]

Feels like that match didn't really help Andrade at all.

He went from squashing opponents the past couple of weeks to having a semi-competitive match with Young who has been mostly irrelevant ever since his call-up.

[slik]

feel like this might be the raw that finally drops below a 2.0 on a non-holiday

[Schlomey]

eric young, in person, was the nicest and most awkward human i've ever paid to say hi to.

[slik]

no way jose...

[slik]

special shout out to tpww legend schlomey stopping by tonight

[Emperor Smeat]

feel like this might be the raw that finally drops below a 2.0 on a non-holiday

Vikings vs. Seahawks MNF game has been very competitive although also somewhat low scoring so far which might help out WWE a bit.

[Schlomey]

special shout out to tpww legend schlomey stopping by tonight

very kind...i just wish i could actually watch the show...mondays are the only times i miss having cable but the $$ saved at the end of the month makes me feel better.

[Droford]

Seth Rollins

Arrive
Talk
Leave

[Emperor Smeat]

For someone who boasts about being the leader of RAW, Rollins leaving in the middle of the show seems very un-leaderlike.

[slik]

Almost 2 hours into the show and not a single interesting match has happened yet.

Charlotte Chair sign wins dumbest WWE sign 2019

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Vic Joseph claiming WWE Backstage is the most talked about wrestling show every week.

[GD]

I find Kairi's evil laughter to be absolutely delightful.

[Droford]

I don't like the KWs non mashup theme

[Emperor Smeat]

This feud between Charlotte and Asuka has been really dumb.

Especially with Charlotte being pretty bad playing a face role and the backwards logic WWE has used for the story.

[slik]

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Jerry Lawler doing the impression of Asuka and Kairi <a href="https://t.co/W3lkvzTPuN">pic.twitter.com/W3lkvzTPuN</a></p>&mdash; Ryan �� (@RyanonWrasslin) <a href="https://twitter.com/RyanonWrasslin/status/1201697824498487296?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 3, 2019</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

[Emperor Smeat]

This handicap match has been a bit sloppy soo far.

[slik]

Asuka/Kairi legit the thing I consistently enjoy on RAW each week

[slik]

was really nervous Charlotte was going to pin Asuka/Kairi clean...glad Charlotte lost

[James Steele]

At least their finally making Charlotte look strong. :roll:

[GD]

Wow! Kairi Sane just pinned Charlotte Flair.

[Emperor Smeat]

That handicap match was really dumb. Asuka and Kairi struggling that much to beat Charlotte made them look really weak in the end especially with the lack of cheating shenanigans.

Charlotte really is the "Roman Reigns" of the women's division considering how overbooked she is compared to the rest of the division.

[slik]

One really baffling thing tonight -- Next week is the go home show for TLC and RAW hasn't set up or announced any matches for the show.

[Emperor Smeat]

Vikings Raiders tag title reign has been a big dud in terms of quality considering its been almost nothing but squash and jobber matches from them.

Ever since they won the belts, they've had just 2 matches that were actually interesting and one was Gauntlet style match and the other didn't even have a finish.

[GD]

Ricochet trying his darnest.

[slik]

Is Samoa Joe retired?

[rez]

who were those country singer hipsters

[Emperor Smeat]

Carrillo's old theme was a lot better than his new one.

Whoever WWE hired to replace CF$0 might actually be worse than CF$0 was based on some of the new themes across all of WWE's brands.

[slik]

tune in next week on the go home for TLC when we announce the card for TLC

[Triple A]

Is Samoa Joe retired?

Just out with a thumb injury for now... supposed to be back "in a few weeks"

[Emperor Smeat]

Is Samoa Joe retired?

No.

Based on what Joe said a few weeks ago, he's probably returning somewhere between late this month to late January from his broken thumb injury.

I'd swap out Rey with Truth and/or the 24/7 champ du jour and RAW has been pretty bad in terms of interesting champs and title feuds for a while.

The 24/7 title shenanigans peaked with the Truth and Maverick stuff and hasn't felt as interesting ever since the Draft and Truth splitting from Carmella.

[Triple A]

Muted it... Vic Joseph's voice making me feel sick...

[slik]

I wonder if at some point they'll realize it would be beneficial for Ricochet to win matches instead of getting pinned so often

[Emperor Smeat]

6-man tag match was very good overall. Can't say the same for RAW since it was pretty dull overall.

[Simple Fan]

Usually dont comment on Raw but Kyle Busch won the 24/7 Championship. Also how in the hell have they cloned Micheal Cole.

[Evil Vito]

Another week of predominantly squash matches.

I think WWE have forgotten what squashes are even meant for. You debut new characters with 2 to 3 weeks of squashes so fans can get a rough idea of what the character is about and so they can be trained to respond to their finisher.

You don’t book someone to be in squashes for 8 months.

[erickman]

I wonder if joe is going to retire rather sooner then later, get him trained for color the last 2 weeks.

[Simple Fan]

Also felt like the Rollins/KO and Orton/McIntyre segments were too similar.
