raw 9.21.20

[slik]

raw

[xrodmuc316]

Lol, didn't Mia Yim already have a contract?

Are they all Bane?

[slik]

Those fucking camera cuts

[xrodmuc316]

Hurt Business is red hot. They should completely bury Retribution and we should never see them again.

[Emperor Smeat]

Not sure what looks more ridiculous, Dijak's new bald and face paint look or Retribution wearing those goofy masks.

[xrodmuc316]

LMAO Dio Madden

[xrodmuc316]

That was horrendous

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: RAW's opening segment being very short.

Guess that's one good thing about Retribution since they managed to have one of the shortest ever opening promos and segments in RAW history.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wait, so Retribution decided to just leave peacefully from the arena during the commercial break?

The way WWE quickly goes right back to acting normal after every Retribution segment that doesn't end a show has been weird.

[Emperor Smeat]

Last week had both Andrade & Garza and Rollins & Murphy do a split up style moment only to get put right back together as if nothing really happened for tonight's tag match.

At least Murphy looked upset at what Rollins did last week.

[slik]

But tonight we have Keith Lee vs Drew with the exact same stipulation as last week

[Emperor Smeat]

:| Another match between Street Profits and Garza & Andrade on the horizon.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Dijak's new look.

He really needs to junk that mask and face paint since he doesn't look menacing at all.

[Emperor Smeat]

Dabba Kato's entrance theme is easily among the worst currently in WWE.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Kevin Owens getting his nuts squashed.

[xrodmuc316]

Can they say buzzwords like Chaos anymore?

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Drew vs. Lee ending in a DQ.

Lee being used as just a filler for the Orton vs. Drew feud is stupid.

WWE Creative has been a lot more lazier than usual this year when it comes to not going though with actual finishes for big matches.

[Emperor Smeat]

When did WWE hire El Generico to be the boss of their music department since almost all of the new themes since CFO$ left have either been bad or generic as hell.

[slik]

Legendary backyard wrestler Miniak needs to join Retribution

[xrodmuc316]

Hurt Business should not have to lose to Retribution in any way, shape, or form.

[xrodmuc316]

LOL why they running Bianca vignettes 6 months after she already debuted?

Also, why is she showing up Chavo Guerrero weight lifting:rofl:

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if that random guy in Bianca's vigilante is going to join Retribution to get revenge on his manhood after getting embarrassed by her.

:lol: R-Truth.

[Triple A]

Jeez Louise @ Retribution's new look...

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE going overboard with the amount of Hurt Business and Retribution stuff on tonight's show.

[Emperor Smeat]

That Ziggy vs. Arturo RAW Underground bout was pretty good both in terms of quality and WWE only having half of it be plagued with constant camera cuts.

[xrodmuc316]

OHHHH Shit, Eddie really was Dom's father!

[slik]

yikes

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE really scrapping the bottom of the barrel for this Rollins vs. Mysterio Family feud if they have to resort back to the old Eddie is Dominik's father storyline.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Rey's daughter trying not to laugh at how bad this segment is.

[xrodmuc316]

Uhoh, CM Punk is Aalyah's real father, that's why he sang happy birthday to her!

[xrodmuc316]

Ok, Aalyah about to be the next Stephanie McMahon turning evil on her family to date Murphy.

[Emperor Smeat]

Whoever wrote this Mysterio Family paternity segment probably should have gotten chucked out a window during creative meeting since it was awful.

[xrodmuc316]

Lana most definitely getting buried thanks to Rusev

[xrodmuc316]

OMGLOL, TBarr, Mace, that's the names they came up with for these guys, I cant :rofl:

[slik]

OMG

I am legit laughing out loud at these names

Poor DD aka T-BAR

[xrodmuc316]

Which one is Slapjack?? Lol

[xrodmuc316]

How come Keith Lee doesn't recognize his girlfriend or his best friend?

[Evil Vito]

I am fucking dying of laughter reading this recap

[Evil Vito]

Thank god for AEW and the G1 Climax

[Triple A]

Lashley applies a Hurt Lock to Slapjack. T-Bar punches him and the referee inexplicably throws the match out.

Winners by Disqualification: The Hurt Business

And Vince thought Paul Heyman was the problem lol

[slik]

whole show seems just jaw-droppingly bad... insane

probably the worst raw of 2020 tbh

it was really strange

[Droford]

Who is Slapjack

[Triple A]

Dominik Dijakovic - T-Bar
Shane Thorne - Slapjack
Dio Maddin - Mace

[slik]

I am fucking dying of laughter reading this recap

I hope you didn't miss the part where WWE resurrected the "Is Rey the father of Dominik Mysterio" angle

:lol:

[Evil Vito]

I can't get over Retribution's names. Those names sound like they were on the shortlist to give to a rebooted Disciples of Apocalypse.

[Droford]

I dont know who the woman not Mia Yim was but I can't wait for their dumb names to be revealed to

[Droford]

Speaking of Womens names the Black Woman with white hair backstage on the Underground segment seems like a shot at Brandi Rhodes with a last name Brandy.

[Emperor Smeat]

I dont know who the woman not Mia Yim was but I can't wait for their dumb names to be revealed to

Mercedes Martinez.

Her and Mia Yim probably getting renamed to Itchy and Scratchy to continue the goofy names for Retribution.

[Emperor Smeat]

Caught the rest of the show I missed watching live and this week's RAW was baffling in terms of quality.

RAW Underground segments and R-Truth beach segment were the only good stuff that happened tonight but even the Underground stuff had its issues. Like why spend all that time to build up Kato as the big star of Underground just to feed him to Braun in the end.

The Mysterio Family stuff was like a shitty telenovela show and Retribution feel even way more lamer after tonight's show.

Even in terms of a go-home show, RAW side of the Clash of Champs card is abysmal. 2 feuds that have been done to death in terms of matches, a women's title feud WWE doesn't even really care about, and a WWE title feud that dragged in Keith Lee and hurt him way more than its helped.

[Droford]

Raw underground is the backdoor way to get SD guys on Raw since they outright said that can happen. Pretty sure Roman will randomly show up and wreck some poor Schlub back there. Bonus points if Heymsn cuts a promo back there.

Another thought while I've got it. The men's Tag Belts should be unified like the women's and defended on all shows. Id prefer that over Andrade and Garza vs the Profits practically every week.

[Emperor Smeat]

Agree on WWE should unify the tag belts.

Neither RAW nor SD has an interesting tag division these days and either combine the belts or maybe make a unified tag division be exclusive to one brand for the next draft like how the Cruiser division was for RAW early on.

[Fignuts]

T-Bar, Slapjack, and Mace

Fuckin' Streets of Rage goons over here.

Where’s Noid with his “name a worse faction than the Dark Order” crap...

[Evil Vito]

Good thing they picked someone generic looking like Mia Yim to give a half-face mask to.

[Big Vic]

I think it's been a whole year since I watched Raw/SD

[Jordan]

Did someone say Chavo made an appearance?

[drave]

They seem like Sanity 2.0 but with an actual push behind them. IMMEDIATELY what I thought of when they made their entrance with those masks and goofy ass names.


At least Sanity had good entrance music.

[Gerard]

So finally seen some clips of raw underground....amazing, just shittier "matches" with far less moves trying and failing miserably to look real. :wtf:

[Volare]

T-Bar, Slapjack, and Mace

Fuckin' Streets of Rage goons over here.

Use this as their theme...or since it's WWE...use it DURING the matches!!

[xrodmuc316]

Did someone say Chavo made an appearance?

That was me being a smart ass, it wasnt really Chavo, just a dude with a similar build and expressions. He was the guy getting shown up in Bianca's vignette.

Still, his appearance wasn't as ridiculous as Retribution :rofl:

[RP]

What the fuck is a T-Bar?

[RP]

Vince probably named those guys right before they went out and revealed themselves. I imagine him walking down the line and being like.. " You're Mace! And you're SlapJACK! And you! YOU WILL BE T-BAR! "

[Lock Jaw]

What the fuck is a T-Bar?

Feel like maybe they wanted to call him "Crowbar" to kind of fit in with the "blunt instrument" theme, but then remembered there was a rassler who used that name already so called him T-Bar instead.


To me, T-Bar is the thing used to perform slow fades/transitions on a video switcher/fire the Death Star
