Road to Wrestlemania and it took that long for a RAW thread to get created lolol

[ClockShot]

Sign of the times these days.

[rez]

The Iiconics turned Japanese!

[Emperor Smeat]

Road to Wrestlemania and it took that long for a RAW thread to get created lolol

Was waiting for someone else to make the thread just so I could say something about Seth's jacket since the rest of the segment was mostly a bore. Then again RAW's openings have been mostly boring outside of the occasional exception.

[slik]

I wonder if Shayna or Ronda show up tonight

[ClockShot]

Atta girl, Kairi.

Take one for the team.

[RP]

Becky is hot, but if I were Seth Rollins, I would 1) stop being a whiney bitch and 2) be banging hotter chicks like Alexa Bliss. How does Seth look at that fag Ryan Cabrera banging Alexa Bliss and not think about how much of a failure he is at banging hot chicks?

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess Creative didn't plan much for the 1st hour if this Becky-Asuka match is getting the double commercial break treatment.

Match has been pretty great soo far.

[slik]

did the ref just accidentally slap Asuka in the face while trying to count a pinfall

[ClockShot]

?

Has Becky been using that Rockbottom/Yuranagi move?

[Emperor Smeat]

Becky channeling her inner Rock for that Rock Bottom.

Match was great.

Too bad I don't really care that much about Baszler after her Reign of Terror in NXT and likely going to have one soon for RAW. Just something about her big matches were way more misses than hits.

[Droford]

Shayna 2 fangs

[RP]

Why did she bite her neck lol?

[Emperor Smeat]

Didn't Vince recently claim again WWE doesn't do "blood and guts" type stuff?

Guess Shayna didn't get the memo.

[ClockShot]

Shayna going for the nape.

Must be a big Attack on Titan fan.

[RP]

The Gangrel return is closer than ever.

[Emperor Smeat]

Riddick Moss somehow being worth a call up like Shayna and not Shayna's lackeys is a head scratcher.

Moss was pretty much a big nobody in NXT while at least Shayna's lackeys had some use even if they were terrible.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at them blowing off the Moss & Mojo partnership after just a couple of weeks.

[slik]

Becky doing her best GTA impression, stealing an ambulance

[slik]

Didn't Vince not even a week ago say they had a PG product when he got asked about AEW, and how they didn't need blood on tv?

[Droford]

MVP would make a good manager, just not for Drew

[BigCrippyZ]

Vince is a bigger idiot creatively than the “fans” in re: the way he treats us as if we’re idiots.

[Emperor Smeat]

Pretty cool how Drew managed to get his countdown to the Claymore Kick really over with crowds considering it only started as a joke by him to rile up crowds.

[Emperor Smeat]

Didn't Vince not even a week ago say they had a PG product when he got asked about AEW, and how they didn't need blood on tv?

Vince is pretty much a moron these days. Same thing happened last time when he made that claim against AEW.

[Emperor Smeat]

Humberto busted out some pretty cool looking spinebusters. Arn Anderson probably suddenly smiling somewhere.

[RP]

This new Mexican looks like a white guy.

[Emperor Smeat]

Cedric going to look like a huge loser if he loses this match after what Humberto did to Garza.

Then again his main roster career has been a big bust despite him being one of the few very people who managed to get over as a big star in 205 Live.

[BigCrippyZ]

JFC... I have this on in the background and I’m occasionally checking it out. This is so fucking awful. If I was a USA executive watching this, I would be so embarrassed to have this as part of my prime time lineup.

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess Rhea ditched those stupid looking contacts she had last time she was on RAW.

RAW's half-done and the only real notable thing to happen was the Becky vs. Asuka match and Shayna revealing she's been a vampire this whole time.

[Droford]

USA went #1 in ratings the year WWE came back to USA, 15 straight years #1 cable network since, they need WWE just as much as Vince needs their money

[BigCrippyZ]

USA went #1 in ratings the year WWE came back to USA, 15 straight years #1 cable network since, they need WWE just as much as Vince needs their money

That’s all well and good. That doesn’t make the content and/or the quality of the content any better or less embarrassing, let alone account for the significant and consistent regression in quality.

[slik]

I really do love the graphics for wm37 already

[rez]

yeah...this RAW isn't any good

[Emperor Smeat]

USA went #1 in ratings the year WWE came back to USA, 15 straight years #1 cable network since, they need WWE just as much as Vince needs their money

Meltzer revealed a while ago that USA Network has been fudging those stats around to claim they've been #1 after all these years. Pretty much have been changing the basis used in order to keep that top rank.

Although true about them needing WWE just as much as WWE needs them due to how bad they've been at churning out hit shows.

[slik]

Ricochet should switch to trunks

[Emperor Smeat]

Lashley vs. Ricochet was pretty good.

Had Lashley won last week, doubt this would have been anything but a squash.

[Droford]

I really do love the graphics for wm37 already

The actual logo is great.

[Emperor Smeat]

This is the most advertising and spotlight treatment WWE has done for NXT since maybe last year's Survivor Series.

Wonder how WWE will feel if it doesn't result in a major bump for NXT this week and next week. Last time NXT had a Takeover, it didn't result in a post-PPV bump for them.

[xrodmuc316]

Didn't Vince not even a week ago say they had a PG product when he got asked about AEW, and how they didn't need blood on tv?

I think there is quite a big difference in Shayna popping a blood capsule in her mouth and Goldust losing about 2 pints of blood for real.

[slik]

Orton should take a shit on a fan

[rez]

Sup, Matt

[xrodmuc316]

LOL what the hell is Matt Hardy sticking up for Edge for?

[Evil Vito]

And there’s Matt being written off

See you in AEW

[rez]

Well...say bye to Matt Hardy. AEW will be the next you see him on TV.

[Droford]

Next week Christian has to come out

[xrodmuc316]

Well...say bye to Matt Hardy. AEW will be the next you see him on TV.

How funny would it be if he went back to Impact with his "Fuck that Owl" gimmick? :rofl:

[Emperor Smeat]

I'd laugh if WWE suddenly extended Matt Hardy's contract due to him suffering a fake injury.

WWE is petty enough to do that.

[slik]

Next week Christian has to come out

agreed

[slik]

ALEISTER BLACK LOVES THE WWE UNIVERSE

[slik]

Okada should sign w WWE and challenge No Way Jose

[Emperor Smeat]

RAW has way too many squash matches going on almost weekly. Half of tonight's matches have been just quick squashes.

Like Black went from doing moody promos to squash matches to an actual feud with Murphy to right back to squash matches & moody promos in terms of his direction these past few months.

Only real brightside is at least RAW is trying new things and new direction for some people while Smackdown has been mostly dull and stale since the move to FOX.

[Droford]

To be the man you gotta bite the man

[Droford]

King of the Mountain gauntlet

[Emperor Smeat]

So another trophy in WWE that gets quickly forgotten afterwards.

[slik]

None of the WrestleMania ads so far have mentioned it airing on the WWE Network, remember those rumors of a streaming deal with someone else (DAZN, Hulu, ESPN +, etc) happening sooner than we think?

Super Showdown ads have WWE Network logo with them...

It has the WWE Network logo it on the official WWE Shows page

[slik]

For now it does...

[Emperor Smeat]

8-man tag match was good despite only the last few minutes being very entertaining.

RAW was somewhat good but too much of the show felt like random filler.

If the rumor about Peacock being the favorite is true, then Mania stays on the Network this year. Peacock isn't launching in time for Mania.

[slik]

still feel like Peacock is the worst name for a streaming service yet

[BigCrippyZ]

still feel like Peacock is the worst name for a streaming service yet

Not only is that an awful name, but I'm not paying for another streaming service outside of Hulu, Netflix, WWE, and Amazon. You can get my $9.99 for about 7-8 months a year for WM, Rumble, SS, the old catalog, etc., or you MIGHT (and I stress the might quite a bit) to get me to pay for WM depending on how much it is. Getting rid of WWE Network is almost guaranteeing I'm going to care even less about your shitty current product and I'm certainly not paying WWE a monthly fee just to watch your old quality content. Good luck to the dumb fucks in charge of WWE.

[Droford]

I can just imagine there being no advertising on smackdown for PPVs because theyre on a competing streaming platform to what fox is doing (Hulu/Disney +) if they go with Peacock which is NBC universal

That'd be funny

[Droford]

The answer is clearly brand specific PPVs on respective streaming platforms.

Vince is probably drooling

"You mean I can make twice as much money?"
