[xrodmuc316]

That is not too surprising with Cena being there tonight.

[slik]

Shocked, shocked I tell you to discover that Omos has not improved since he last wrestled on tv 3 months ago...

King & Queen of the Ring announced for Jedda, Saudi Arabia in late May

[slik]

Not Queen of the Ring in a location where the women have to be covered up

[xrodmuc316]

How much does Vince HATE this match?

PAUL!!! What the Hell did you do to Nikki A.S.H. and Doudrop Damnit?

[slik]

Theory and Cena segment is A+

[slik]

Cena putting over Cody tells ya all you need to know about whose winning Roman/Cody

[slik]

Hope Chelsea Green/Carmella beat Becky/Lita for the titles

[slik]

Gotta be honest, these fake trailers are not as good as the ones from WM21

[slik]

Much prefer Bayley getting that WM payday to Ronda Drowsy

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Hope Chelsea Green/Carmella beat Becky/Lita for the titles

Since they’re an Iiconics ripoff they should call them the IIconics

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Roman numerals, you see

[DaveWadding]

I acknowledge this joke.

[CBright7831]

I legit do not know who is going to win between Roman and Cody and I can’t think of the last time that occurred for WrestleMania. In years past, I knew Roman was winning or Drew was winning, or Kofi was winning, or Becky was winning, etc. It could go either way this year.

[erickman]

raw should be good tonight

[xrodmuc316]

Weigh in for Brock/Omos should be fun, as long as they have a scale that works lol

[erickman]

i kind of look forward to the almost lestner match

[erickman]

guess we won't find out how much lestner weighs

[xrodmuc316]

Leaner used to weigh in for UFC fights at 265, then be back up to 275 by the time of the fight 2 days later. I would guess he is probably about 285 in WWE.

[Sepholio]

Bork Lasnur

[erickman]

uh oh travel issues

[erickman]

time for a trish heel turn

[xrodmuc316]

They need to ban wrestlers from "Cupping" if they are going to be on TV.

[Sepholio]

I just got home, who had travel issues?

[Sepholio]

Oh must be Lita I'm guessing.

[Ruien]

Wait, did I miss Cody?

[Ruien]

Oh must be Lita I'm guessing.

No. Lita was beat up backstage.

[Ruien]

A few people have travel issues apparently. Pretty sure Priest would have been there for the opening segment/match if he was around.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I want to give Raw another go, but I’m not sure if my spirit is willing.

[xrodmuc316]

I just got home, who had travel issues?

I think the only thing they arent still advertising is Miz vs Riddle, and Priest talking about Bunny

[xrodmuc316]

Lita gonna be PISSED

[Ruien]

This match is terrible.

[Sepholio]

TRISH HEEL TURN WOOOOOOO

[erickman]

I just got home, who had travel issues?

half the roster

[Sepholio]

BIG MEATY MEN SLAPPING MEAT

[Sepholio]

FLYING MEAT BOMB

[Sepholio]

Cody referencing his EVP position in AEW

[Sepholio]

GRABOID REFERENCE ON RAW I AM TOTALLY MARKING OUT RN

[Sepholio]

Fun match between Usos and Alpha Academy. Really thought AA was gonna pull out a win for a minute there.

[Sepholio]

Solo Sikoa wrestling a lot more lately. I like that. Hope it's him who turns on The Bloodline and not Jey.

[xrodmuc316]

GRABOID REFERENCE ON RAW I AM TOTALLY MARKING OUT RN

Love those movies!

[Sepholio]

They're just the best. I love all of them.

[Sepholio]

Effective immediately: This is no longer the March 6th 2023 RAW thread that we've been using for 6 weeks. This is now the Tremors/Kevin Bacon Super Duper Appreciation Shindig Extravaganza.

[Lock Jaw]

Marathoned the lot of them a couple of years back..... still never watched the newest one though, came out after our marathon

[Mr. Nerfect]

Raw was “good,” but fuck me is it long? I know this isn’t news for people, but it’s so fucking exhausting and time-consuming and it’s especially jarring when you get back to watching it for the few time in a while. I’d rather watch old WWF PPVs. They fly past quicker.

I liked what the AA/Usos match turned into. I thought the three-way women’s match was fun. It’s cool Trish is back. Yeah, I’m kind of just burnt out from watching it.

[Sepholio]

Stay on topic please. Kevin Bacon and/or Tremors discussion only.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I’ve never been a Kevin Bacon fan.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think he is becoming, by default, my favorite actor named Kevin though.

[Mr. Nerfect]

My first Kevin Bacon film was Hollow Man.

[xrodmuc316]

My first Kevin Bacon film was Hollow Man.

Another classic!

[Sepholio]

Good job Captain Obvious. It has Kevin Bacon in it. Of course it's a classic.

[Fignuts]

I prefer smoked bacon. Kevin is a bit stringy.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Kevin Bacon’s name has always made me think of bacon the food, it is true.

[xrodmuc316]

Good job Captain Obvious. It has Kevin Bacon in it. Of course it's a classic.

Fair, we should pick his 10 best films!

In no particular order id go Tremors, Stir of Echoes, A Few Good Men, The River Wild, X-Men First Class, Cop Car, Apollo 13, Hollow man, The Air Up There, and Sleepers, and that was difficult to limit to only 10 :cool:

[Fignuts]

Pretty damn good raw.

[XL]

You wouldn’t know it from the reaction here.

Where was the show this week? Crowd seemed really into it!

[Mr. Nerfect]

I just couldn’t bring myself to watch. I’m glad it was good.

[#1-norm-fan]

From the sounds of it they’re actually protecting Solo Sikoa, which is good. My initial thought when he debuted was that he’d be the whipping boy of The Bloodline who makes Reigns’ next challenger look like a threat without hurting Reigns or The Usos. That’s the lazy formula they’ve used in recent decades.
