Happy Holidays, Kira

That song spoke to my soul

You I like don't ruin it with holiday cheer

So Elias' reward for having a really good match last week with Reigns and looking like he was heading in a great direction was to just get brutally squashed the next week.

Making things worse is feeding Elias just for this Kane-Strowman feud that won't end.

For a second I thought he had his voice box back.

Don't worry. My boss calls me Grinch. You're in good company.

At first, I was pissy they were feeding Elias to Strowman after he was kind of legitimized by his match with Roman last week.

Then I remembered that Strowman is 2017's Stone Cold Steve Austin and this is no different than Austin stunning the shit out of the entire roster for two hours straight, and that's cool as hell.

Heres hoping the opponent for Asuka has notified her next of kin

Dana?

Poor Alicia, Asuka is going to beat the crazy out of her.

"and I finally got a T-shirt" lol

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What an amazing big boot by Alicia. Managed to flip Asuka with it.

NOOO

PLEASE NO

WWE's teasing a potential Paige-Asuka matchup way too early.

that boot was beautiful still....NOOOOOOOOO

Alica no... but yay Asuka...I'm conflicted this match hurt my heart

What are they doing to Alicia???


I hope those bitches die in a fire live again and then die.

Targeting the furry demo.

Yes I do have that shirt I don't give a fuck what anybody says

I fell asleep for an hour but it doesn't sound like I missed much tbh

They should have a Furry stable on 205Live

Finn Balor sucks

Whole show has been really skipable so far.

Unless this is a quick match, there's not gonna be any time for Woken Matt. After they finally started doing the angle after all these months.

"Bo Dallas a force to be reckoned with."

Wat.

He did say he was going to take care of Bray's demons.

Perhaps his DEMON KING.

That's what I was thinking. Balor/Matt seems like it could be a decent program before the inevitable Matt/Bray feud.

Finn having a normal double stomp move seems a bit redundant considering his finisher is also a double stomp but from the top rope.

HERE WE GO

:D:D:D:D:D:D

Matt just tweeted about finn.

Shivering with Antici............PATION!

Cannot believe how much I'm marking out for a gimmick that's been dead for nine months interrupting a gimmick that's been dead for like three years.

Matt managed to do what nobody has ever done before by breaking Bray's typical rambling promo.

Also :lol: at the debut of Woken Hardy being in the piss break spot of the show.

holy fucking shit

I loved everything about that! SOMEBODY HOLD ME.

seems to get the crowd worked up some so I guess it did it's job

THAT WAS DELIGHTFUL!!!

It finally happened and it was wonderful.

I don't know how, but, uh, my earthly vessel is ready for one more great war.

If you had told me that Matt Hardy would be legally blocked from using his CONDEESHUN in WWE, was going to be abandoned and left to wallow as a nostalgia act on Superstars/Main Event while his brother was out for surgery, and then he was going to be #WOKEN in a throw away segment with Bray Wyatt, I'd have said it would be a disappointment and probably die.

And yet, here we are. I marked out more for that than AJ beating Jinder for the title in England, and I don't know how that makes me feel.

Matt cutting off Bray's laugh with his own was fantastic.

My face hurts from smiling so much. Fuck that was great.

Woken Matt was the real main event. Fuck this match..no one cares.

I'm sure this match will be good and all.....but I've already peaked. Man that promo was great.

I dont get it

This match is quite interesting.

Damn. What a way to end a cool match :nono:

It's Hiromu Takahashi, but a 40 to 3000 year old time traveling wizard with a penchant for green beans and a weird accident.

Whoa! We are already 11 mins overtime.

This episode of Raw is going to go until WWE week starts next week.

Joe & The Bar vs. The Shield will be a hot 6-man

Roman Reigns is the worst friend in fucking history.

Good ol' fashion Attitude Era schmozz to end the night and refill some heat in a feud.

Reigns is a worse friend than John Cena was to Zack Ryder

... until there is another slew of injuries and they get desperate and try to plug any ol' random in where they need them OR call back some established Attitude Era star instead of having enough credible talent available.

"Where did this come from?! What is going through the mind of Jason Jordan; with a *vicious* attack on his father, Kurt Angle?!"

For some reason, when Roman hit that half crab, I pictured Lance Storm shrugging and saying "... dafuq?"

WOKEN Matt was fantastic. I legit laughed out loud during the Wyatt/Hardy segment. The highlight of RAW.

Lucky for him, she's not like most girls.

And he's prob'ly gonna find out. And like it. And it's going to turn into Stevie Richards/Jazz 2.0. Or Stevie Richards/Victoria, and she'll be more effective than BIG (C)ASS as a bodyguard.

He said liberry instead of library I think.

The return of Adam Rose and the Rosebuds, all of whom are treated as active competitors on the 205 Live roster, including The Bunny.

The way she mentioned having a shirt somehow reminded me of R-Truth's rant at the merchandise stand back when the truth set him free: "... ZACK RYDER GOT A T-SHIRT?!?"

And that shirt is missing a captain's hat.

... and vehemently hates mustard.

Watched/fast forwarded through the show....

Jason Jordan/Roman Reigns and Paige/Sasha Banks were both very enjoyable..... The Bar/Rollins Ambrose was probably also enjoyable but I fast forwarded through it all because I got tired.

Woken Matt Hardy stuff seemed really dumb and stupid and did not come off well at all...... but people seemed to love it, so I guess maybe it did? I don't even know anymore.....

Matt Hardy was freaking hilarious. I don't know if he goes cross eyed for the gimmick or what it is but he legitimately looks bonkers when he does this shtick.

Well that was some weird whacky shit. But it was different. And it wasn't some hokey, overly scripted nonsense. I'm in. I'll be keeping up on YouTube to see where this woken Matt Hardy nonsense goes to. Why the fuck not, right?

The gimmick worked amazingly in TNA as well....except for the Final Deletion match between he and Jeff at "The Hardy Compound". That was horrible...but it broke Jeff.

Hopefully they break Jeff as well.

I didn't see the survivor series match but saw she lasted 11 minutes. It would have been cool if she was eliminated in under 10 seconds and still went on bragging about leading the girls to victory.

Havent seen it. But if Bray plays this right it sounds like it could make for a reinvention of sorts. Until they job him out mercilessly again

I watched it three times and it cracked me up every time. The Laugh at the end kills me.

Just watched the Bray/Matt segment. It was great. Here's hoping we at least get one fun feud out of this.

Also, we've actually got something good coming from how horrible they've handled Bray since his debut. If he wasn't a joke already, this would be a terrible idea. Since he is, this works out perfectly.

WOKEN MATT made me grin so hard

goodbye Bray as anything resembling a serious threat though.

Hello Woken Matt I knew you'd come.

Get ready for big ol helpings of batshit promos that make Warrior and Savage sound like William F Buckley talking with Obama

You didn't get the part where Nia appeared outta nowhere and has a crush on Enzo now? Seems weird WWE edited that part out for the UK.

"Everyone on the roster is so bland and boring. No wonder nobody cares anymore."

"This gimmick is too over the top. No wonder nobody takes the business seriously."

IWC in a nutshell.

I would want Nia playing my gf on t.v.

Noid in a nutshell.

Except I'd do it more like Dusty and Babydoll... less like little weeny boy Enzo being intimidated by big strong lady because that shit is so hokey.

Think he was just talking abt it in general.

There isn't any woman on the current WWE roster I wouldn't want playing my gf in real life.

Even Tamina. Getting throttled by the daughter of a murderer could be kinda kinky.

Okay I guess I wouldn't want Sonya Deville as my gf in real life. Having a gf who isn't into dudes would be just a tad bit awkward.

Otherwise, bring 'em on.

Nia would give a tight handy.

This week's episode managed to be around 54k higher than last week for viewers but suffered one of the largest hour drops in the 3 Hour Era. Past couple of weeks have started to erode the yearly gains WWE was making during the NFL season.

For some reference, same week last year had almost 200k more viewers.

Perhaps. But you'd be amazed how many bi girls on Tinder feel the need to write in their profiles "no, just because I'm bi does not mean I'm looking to have a threesome."

They know how mens' minds operate.
