WWF RAW is WAR - Feb 3, 2020

[Triple A]

Raw is War

[rez]

Can lightning strike twice and RAW be decent back to back weeks?

Watching...also watching Iowa caucus coverage.

[Jordan]

Orton gonna confess why he hurt Edge.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at someone in the crowd with a "This Town is a Dump" sign.

[xrodmuc316]

They have pretty good attendance considering the snow storm!

[Emperor Smeat]

This might be Orton's best promo ever and he's barely said anything.

[Evil Vito]

They won’t let him get a word in EDGEwise.

[erickman]

yeah good crowd tonight

[rez]

promo, borton, promo...shaping up to be a classic.

[slik]

That opening was great

RKO/EDGE a great feud so far

[Jordan]

Orton is a magnet! Rassle Mania season in swing!

[Evil Vito]

Lol Lana tron on by mistake

[Evil Vito]

Ruby!!!

[Droford]

A wild ruby riot appears

[Emperor Smeat]

This Lana vs Liv feud sucks.

[Evil Vito]

Ring lights randomly going off

Some newbies in production

[slik]

damn jezebel ruby riot

[rez]

Put this shitty feud to rest. Isn't Vince supposed to be preparing for XFL this weekend? Like...change the pattern unlock on his smart phone or something.

[Triple A]

Poor Mojo... every time it seems like they're trying to push him, he either just disappears or is totally buried within 2-3 weeks

[Emperor Smeat]

Wait ... why is Drew McIntyre facing off against the 24/7 champ?

[Triple A]

2 on 1 handicap match Drew McIntyre vs. Ricochet and Cedric Alexander next week

[Emperor Smeat]

Read it elsewhere and started laughing.

24/7 title is currently RAW's top men's belt since the US champ is out via Wellness suspension and the WWE title champ is too lazy to show up regularly.

[slik]

Drew first guy to get a major push like this who wears traditional rasslin tights in a long time (Shorts Cena, Mostly Covered Roman)

[slik]

F*** Mojo

He is so annoying....only employed so WWE can suck Gronkowski's dick

[rez]

24/7 title is currently RAW's top belt since the US champ is out via Wellness suspension and the WWE title champ is too lazy to show up regularly.

and it's still so shitty that Drew could have easily pinned for the belt lol :rofl:

[Evil Vito]

F*** Mojo

You mean you wouldn’t?

[Evil Vito]

Drew calling himself the “sexy Scotsman”

I have a bad feeling about this

[slik]

maybe

[Emperor Smeat]

Did WWE get a new voice over person?

Don't think I ever heard that guy's voice before for show commercials or video packages.

[slik]

trying to watch caucus and raw at same time

[slik]

Viking Jobbers

Viking Losers

[Emperor Smeat]

The way Heyman handles his favorite tag teams compared to his favorite singles guys is a huge night-and-day difference.

Black and McIntyre come across as big stars in the making because he's very careful with their booking while Street Profits and Viking Raiders come across as just like every other poorly handled tag team in RAW and WWE in general.

[Sepholio]

Should have Drew win the 24/7 title, take it into WM, win the WWE title and then announce he'll defend them both any time, any place.

[Emperor Smeat]

Bit weird Murphy got eliminated first from Team Rollins.

Wouldn't be surprised if this ends in a DQ.

[Emperor Smeat]

Elimination match was pretty good overall despite the questionable booking of it.

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Ricochet with a non-shitty or awkward promo for once. Wasn't that great but it wasn't horrible either so that's a win for him.

[Triple A]

I thought it was a typical horrible "beta" Ricochet promo,,,

[Emperor Smeat]

I thought it was a typical horrible "beta" Ricochet promo,,,

It was basic and similar in tone to his other promos but he wasn't stuttering or stumbling as much as usual.

Also probably helps that at least personally, the bar for a good promo from him in WWE is really low. He was better with promos in Lucha Underground since he felt more comfortable doing them and fit better with his character there.

[Droford]

Angel Garza callup

Dumb

[Emperor Smeat]

Not sure if I'm watching wrestling or a telenovela right now.

[Triple A]

Angel Garza very charismatic...

[slik]

Angel Garza has a great ass

[Droford]

Hopefully Goldberg issues an open challenge and Riddle answers

[Emperor Smeat]

Rey vs. Garza was pretty good overall.

Rey looked a lot more smoother in the ring than he did last week. Guess he finally recovered from whatever lingering pain he was in since the ladder match a couple weeks ago.

[Triple A]

Putting Zelina with Garza is smart

[Triple A]

Garza is great... impressive

[Emperor Smeat]

I'd laugh if tomorrow WWE announces a Wellness suspension for Rey.

[Droford]

Putting Zelina with Garza is smart

If I felt they'd actually book them smartly using them as a tag team would be great

[Droford]

Well here we are

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if the city and/or Utah governor is unhappy with WWE since they still went ahead with tonight's show despite the terrible weather there tonight.

Prior to the show, there were like over 220 car crashes there during the day and night time conditions are probably worse especially with all those people being on the road.

[Droford]

Doesn't Bianca Bel Air have to come out?

[Emperor Smeat]

Rhea vs. Charlotte at Mania should be great but feel like the end result is going to backfire in the long run.

If Charlotte wins, NXT pretty much is swapping one reign of terror for another since no way Charlotte is having a short reign there. If Rhea wins, feel like crowds will eventually turn on Rhea since WWE is going very hard on pushing Rhea as their next top female star.

Agreed @ Smeat but I do look forward to the match

Drew vs Brock
Edge vs Orton
Rhea vs Charlotte

all feel like WM programs to me

Add in the rumored Bray vs. Reigns and Becky vs. Baszler matches and the upper card of the show is shaping up to be pretty great.

6+ hours of Mania is still going to be a major hassle since WWE doesn't structure their cards as well as NJPW does when it comes to holding lengthy shows.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Natty botching the distraction spot.

Match itself was pretty good.

[Emperor Smeat]

Should be interesting how much of a bump or not Charlotte is going to give to NXT this week.

NXT didn't get any post-Rumble bump despite having a presence at the event but then again it was also barely mentioned during last week's show.

I was only joking earlier about Rey getting suspended but holy shit if it actually happens. Started to laugh when I heard that rumor.

[slik]

Rey and maybe KO?

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE getting rid of the off-centered entrance area on RAW's stage was the best decision they made with RAW's new set.

[Droford]

WWE must time their welless policy tests just right to ensure no fuckups for WM buildup

[Droford]

Brock had to run out to beat the clock lol

[Jordan]

Agreed @ Smeat but I do look forward to the match

Drew vs Brock
Edge vs Orton
Rhea vs Charlotte

Me too. Hoping that the Bray situation with Roman is booked well.

[slik]

Ricochet vs Brock was rumored for the RR at one point, looks like Super Showdown is what it got moved to

[Droford]

Jooooooooooohn Ceeeeeeeeenaaaaaa

[Jordan]

Nice match for Super Showdown, Brock and Ricochet. You know Brock loves working with AJ and Rey, I'm sure Ricochet will raise the level for Brock's David vs Goliath match.

[Emperor Smeat]

Triple threat match was very good.

Ricochet vs Lesnar at the next Saudi show should be great since Lesnar supposedly loves working with smaller guys whenever he gets the chance to do so.

RAW itself was mostly good overall. Only real down point was most of the first hour but from Elimination match and onwards, RAW was pretty good.

[Jordan]

I've never seen a Fast & Furious movie but honestly that looks really fun. Also, Cena is Vin Diesel's brother? LOL

[slik]

I saw the first one w/ Paul Walker

RIP

[Volare]

This wellness blowup will be nuts if it happens. Hasn't been any of this in a long while.
