Divorce kicking off RAW

[Emperor Smeat]

When did fans ever call Rusev fat?

[slik]

A heel has blamed "The WWE Universe"

This is why RAW is not allowed to be a drinking game

[ClockShot]

I know Lana signed a new deal.

But, Rusev just needs to bail.

[slik]

Oh wow need Lana to stop screaming

[ClockShot]

The Edge & Vicki Gurrerro "divorce" was way better.

[Emperor Smeat]

If someone else was in Lana's role, maybe this storyline wouldn't be as horrendous as its been since her terrible acting brings everything down.

[Emperor Smeat]

Rusev's Donald Duck shirt was the only bright spot about that whole divorce segment.

Whatever rep Heyman had as a creative genius pretty much has been getting obliterated ever since he took over as the creative lead of RAW.

[teamXtremist]

I came here for mantaur

[slik]

TY

Stan-taurs UNITE

[slik]

is the nfl game big tonight

[Emperor Smeat]

is the nfl game big tonight

Somewhat although the NFC East in general has been pretty bad this season.

Only reason it has any real importance is due to the Cowboys stinking in recent weeks and not because the Eagles nor Giants have been that good this season.

[ClockShot]

Eli's back behind center.

That, and a lot of people think Philly can win out and give Dallas some trouble the last few weeks.

[Emperor Smeat]

If WWE bothered to give most of their Women's division (both RAW and Smackdown) the same amount of booking effort and care they give towards Charlotte, it would be just as great as NXT's division.

Like last week's Handicap match made Charlotte look way too strong and Kabuki Warriors as weaklings for struggling that much despite the numbers advantage and lack of cheating antics.

[Volare]

Just checking up to see what's happening....back to DOTA I go.

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Viking Raiders actually wrestling a meaningful match on RAW for once.

Also :lol: at the Viking Raiders suddenly switching back to being heels based on the tone of their promo.

it'd also require competent RAW/SDL writers...

[Emperor Smeat]

Would have laughed if the Viking Raiders title reign ended via a squash since that's all they have been doing ever since winning the belts outside of 1-2 times.

[slik]

Surprised to see Street Prophets have a clean loss, could have made a feud/program out of this.

[teamXtremist]

Whaa whaa whaa

[teamXtremist]

that damn steel pipe looks like its made outta a toilet paper roll

[teamXtremist]

English please

[Emperor Smeat]

Not sure what has been worse the past couple weeks, the Lana-Rusev storyline or this Rollins-Owens-AOP one.

Like if the big swerve is Rollins turns heels, they are going to drag it out way too long based on how things have gone soo far.

[slik]

Brand Split hard at work I see, Hi Sami.

[rez]

Sami still manage Nak?

[teamXtremist]

Is sami hurt?

[GD]

Brand Split hard at work I see, Hi Sami.

I missed it. What happened?

[Emperor Smeat]

Show's almost half over and arguably the only good thing that happened was the RAW tag title match and that was maybe 5 minutes long at most.

[slik]

I missed it. What happened?

Sami is now allowed on RAW as well because he is Mojo Rawley's manager

[GD]

Sami is now allowed on RAW as well because he is Mojo Rawley's manager

That's weird.

Liv Morgan coming to RAW bay bay

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess someone in Creative finally remembered about Liv Morgan.

[slik]

Lawler with that timely joke about Justin Bieber

[Emperor Smeat]

Andrade vs. Carrillo was very good overall.

Guess WWE recton Carrillo beating AJ Styles that one time if his victory over Andrade is now his biggest win ever according to Vic.

[slik]

Seth and his evil henchman AOP attack KO

[Emperor Smeat]

Whelp that was a lame way for Rollins heel turn.

Didn't even bother to bring back his old Waluigi laugh.

[KIRA]

Why would you drop the pipe dumbass

[slik]

Seth cutting a "You People" promo

[Emperor Smeat]

:| More Rollins on tonight's show.

Creative crammed like maybe 2-3 weeks worth of storyline stuff for him tonight and probably because of the piss poor job they've done to build for TLC.

[rez]

lol

[slik]

Architects of Pain

[Emperor Smeat]

Still find it a bit funny that WWE took Finn Balor's idea for a stable with AOP and gave it to Rollins instead because his face run was a huge bust.

[slik]

lol @ following up Rollins heel turn w a face Becky match

[KIRA]

Seth isnt cool unless hes flanked by 2 dudes in flack jackets and even then......

[slik]

Finally made it to pg 2 for RAW's third hour

[teamXtremist]

This match is soo meh

[slik]

Becky scores a win over The Kabuki Warriors in a handicap match to set up Becky/Charlotte vs Kabuki Warriors at TLC

[Emperor Smeat]

Becky's handicap match against the Kabuki Warriors was better than Charlotte's but the booking of the matches was backwards.

Should have done the DQ finish last week and post-match attack so that when Asuka tries the same tactic again, Charlotte rushes in to even the odds and get some payback.

[Triple A]

Watching now...

[slik]

Brock's rumored opponent for Royal Rumble


Ricochet

[slik]

Watching now...

I am sorry...

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the jobber stealing Rowan's pet cage.

[Emperor Smeat]

Brock's rumored opponent for Royal Rumble


Ricochet


If they book it like his matches with Bryan and Balor, that would be a pretty great match.

[slik]

an snl parody

[rez]

lol Weekend Update

[slik]

this sux

[Emperor Smeat]

Starting to really believe Heyman was the worst thing to happen for the Street Profits call-up. For someone who supposedly has a very high view of the team, his booking and handling of them barely shows it.

[slik]

nothing trending worldwide for RAW this week

Kabuki Warriors, Rusev, Andrade and Street Profits all trended in the top 10-20 in the US over tonight

[rez]

lol they hardly got the finish off

[Emperor Smeat]

US title match was decent or average at best. Same for tonight's RAW overall.

Based on TLC's card soo far, only really interested in Aleister Black vs. Buddy Murphy match. The Women's tag title match probably will also be really good but WWE has done a miserable job building the feud.

[slik]

Rey ripped his pants

Wonder if that was supposed to a catch into a styles clash tease.

[GD]

WTF was this?
