That was by far her best performance on the mic. Her first one or two were very meandering and awkwardly humble. She was probably legit overwhelmed by emotion, but she was pretty rough.

Tonight was a real good sign.

I know what you mean, almost like she freezes up in the transition from parry to suplex/whatever hold she's gonna use. But I also think she's posing for publicity photos in those moments as well so I cut some slack. I'm expecting to see her transitions to be almost like an over exaggerated martial arts exhibition followed by super intense quick grappling holds, judo throws and suplexes.

Jordan 03-26-2018 10:16 PM

WWE has got to get Bo and Axle out of this spot and give them a chance to do something. When Bo spoke earlier I was like "Oh man that voice"... he's got one of those memorable voices that remind me of Jake Roberts or Rick Rude, hell even like his brother Bray. He was so good in NXt I just don't get the deal with Bo. And Joe going way back to early NXT was on fire there and has literally done nothing good in WWE. I don't get it. There are these flashes of IT but then the gimmick over comes and it's bullshit. He's a guy who should leave and try to work in NJPW or the big indies because he is a territory guy he's not a sports entertainer.

Dark One 03-26-2018 10:16 PM

GOOD BROTHERS RACKING UP THE WINS

Ruien 03-26-2018 10:16 PM

Okay, I am done for the night. Enjoyed every segment and match I saw. Raw was spot on. Hope Bliss is Brauns partner so bad. Will be okay with some random scrub being his partner too. Figure it wrong be bliss because the WWE wont have some man do a thing physical to her to get the win and the only way Braun is losing in the tag team realm is if his partner gets pinned.

KIRA 03-26-2018 10:17 PM

That was the Undertaker just arriving to the building

Wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't know how to do it well yet considering she's only really started training for wrestling a few months ago.

Before that seems she was only using the PC as a personal gym and maybe learning some very basic skills.

slik 03-26-2018 10:17 PM

I like Elias's shirt

Agreed on both. Hoping that Raw goes to Fox so that they cut it to 2 hours. It would save it for me. I'm only watching the full show because its WM season.

Elias needs to beat up Corey Graves for the besmirching being done to his musical skills.

Elias looks like a 30 year old WCW 99 era Randy Savage minues the WCW main event pay grade HGH.

I wish the announce team wouldn't bicker so much.

He did like 5-10 years on the indies. I missed the E&C and Stone Cold podcast episodes with him on it, but I'd be surprised if he wasn't a fan growing up given his time in the indies.

Well I'll track it down and give it a listen. The thing is he's not very dynamic in his offense. He doesn't really sell that he's in a fight.

They don't all have to be Seth Rollins--even if they look 95% like him.

Jordan 03-26-2018 10:37 PM

Undertaker needs to show his punk ass up to Raw and accept Cena's offer. He's a legend and he's supposed to be held to a higher standard. When an obvious legacy challenger has appeared you'd better show your ass to the ring and answer the call.

I would love this swerve just for the nuclear heat.

"Nah, dawg, you disrespected me. I ain't facing you at Wrestlemania, John. I'm announcing my entry into the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Rest... In... Catering."

Emperor Smeat 03-26-2018 10:38 PM

The "Cena has no Mania path" story makes no sense because of the Andre Battle Royal. He could just enter himself in it and be guaranteed a spot on Mania.

Instead he's come off as just a big whiner the past several weeks because he doesn't get things his way.

Dark One 03-26-2018 10:38 PM

Really nice of Kane to take up an Anti-Bullying Crusade in his pursuit of the mayoral office.

Dark One 03-26-2018 10:39 PM

Really looking forward to the Kane vs John Cena Ironman match at Wrestlemania.

KIRA 03-26-2018 10:39 PM

To me he doesn't come off whiny but just rather empty. Like the whole thing is just an obvious promotional build around a match we all know is going to happen. Just fucking announce the match and face off a few times and let the ego's get the better of the situation, the brawl, boom, welcome to Rasslemania.

KIRA 03-26-2018 10:41 PM

He talks about wanting to get into WrestleMania anyway he can but he doesn't want to lower himself to the ABR

Jordan 03-26-2018 10:42 PM

Like John Cena should be held aside the ranks of The Revival and Baron Corbin.

Yeah. It had some really good potential early on with the idea of Cena becoming more desperate and paranoid the close they got to Mania but WWE tossed that out quickly and Cena doing a terrible job conveying that feeling.

Dark One 03-26-2018 10:46 PM

Wonder if this match is giving Zack Ryder traumatic flashbacks to being pushed off the stage in a wheelchair and all the way back down to Superstars.

Jordan 03-26-2018 10:46 PM

I think with Cena one of the best things we can hope for is that people grow tired of chanting Lets Go Cena/Cena Sucks. When that happens, that may actually consider the heel turn. And you may say it's too late but it could be a resurgence if they want it to be, just like it was for Hogan.

I'd blame this more on the writers/agents than Cena. The stuff Cena's done off the script (Talking Smack, etc.) has been PHENOMENAL at conveying that, but the Raw segments, etc. kind of shows they don't want to go that way.

I'd make a wild guess that it's probably more of the same long-term "Cena can't look week or vulnerable" directive that shaped most of the last decade.

He's in his early 50s and I question how good of shape he's in, too, and would obviously be upset if he takes a match and ends up hurt.

Mostly the part about him being supposed to be retired though.

Taker never said those words so I can't hold that against them. I'll wait to see if Taker acknowledges that moment before I pass judgement on the angle.

Yeah Creative has been the biggest weakness anytime something interesting actually happens with Cena. Like when he had the "Gatekeeper" phase that led to nothing in the end or the US Open Challenge series that led to nobody benefiting besides Cena getting some cheap cheers.

Jordan 03-26-2018 10:56 PM

Kane really exposes Cena, doesn't make me feel too great about Taker considering how he was with Bray and Roman who are somewhere near the match quality of Cena.

If Cena really wanted to call out Taker, he'd walk the ropes. What a pussy.
