Domino 08-16-2010 10:59 PM

What the hell was that "falling to one knee" thing?

bigslimjj 08-16-2010 10:59 PM

I hope young does the adjustment of attitude. It used to be called the UF.

Ultra Mantis 08-16-2010 11:00 PM

Is Cena wearing matching purple and yellow underwear? :wtf:

BizarroKing 08-16-2010 11:00 PM

This isn't going anywhere really...

teamXtremist 08-16-2010 11:01 PM

i think young has used every basic move in the book

Savio 08-16-2010 11:01 PM

Cena does the worst sell jobs.

It's an amateur wrestling thing. Backlund did it too. It's a muscle memory drill.

LOL at the Wade Barrett facepalm.

He does. just once the kyrptonite is removed, he's back to 100%. Same with Cena, once the move is done (ddt on the concrete for instance), he's back to 100%.

And I think Gabriel is gonna show remorse and be out...

HeartBreakMan2k 08-16-2010 11:05 PM

I actually expected him not to hit the splash...

Removing the armband would've been epic.

Kind of an "ehh" episode of Raw. Disappointing.

VSG 08-16-2010 11:09 PM

Seriously, seems like 80% of you guys get disappointed over just about anything now.

bigslimjj 08-16-2010 11:09 PM

Young had to go.If they wrestled for much longer I'm sure it would have done something to the space time continum

Providence Peep 08-16-2010 11:09 PM

Did you guys hear Cena giving Young instructions throughout the entire match?

SammyG 08-16-2010 11:10 PM

lol @ that ref

nrt4 08-16-2010 11:10 PM

Would've been better if they had Barret take a mic and be like "Turn in your Nexus armband" and have Young refuse, then the beatdown

SammyG 08-16-2010 11:10 PM

I have been watching a bit more with this Nexus thing. Hope Bryan, Cena and Young team up

Are you still going out with that amazon?

BizarroKing 08-16-2010 11:12 PM

Well, that was kind of lame...Hopefully the tapings will prove next week will be better.

HeartBreakMan2k 08-16-2010 11:13 PM

With Young's elimination I would love to see Barret bring it Kaval; "I know you Bryan... and I understand what you're capable of... but more importantly, there's someone who knows you even better; and is capable of far more"

Destro 2.0 08-16-2010 11:15 PM

Fucking Christ goddamn this was just terrible. Danielson got fucked over again. He will probably get fired again because he let his forehead touch the suit case. Now some stupid fuck post on here with some push over from Jersey Shore. What the fuck GODDAMN THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT! WWE is going to lose alot of fans because of this.

Figured he would've kept saying "fall down" or "play dead" everytime.

Emperor Smeat 08-16-2010 11:29 PM

The mainevent was pretty good since Cena didn't just squash Young and Young did have his chances even after Cena went through his predictable move combo.

Only bad part was Cena's tendency to suddenly pop up or no sell certain actions like nothing happened. Tonight he suddenly pops up at "9" then goes back acting tired without going through the dramatic slow rise during the count or during the PPV where the DDt spot got wasted when he suddenly pops up after a few moments.

Next Big Thing 08-16-2010 11:32 PM

Good luck to Heath Slater ever trying to cut a legitimate heel promo again. Cena calling him Wendy is equivalent to Stone Cold calling Christian a creepy little bastard or Lance Storm boring. Sucks for him, hope he enjoys his new gimmick passing out tainted hamburgers.

I believe they're going to give Young a monster push based merely on the fact that he looks like Cena and two Cenas selling merchandise is better than one.

Cool King 08-16-2010 11:40 PM

So the new Tag Team Championships are bronze.

http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/2755/64682327.png

It can been seen, in a way, that the WWE are sortof shitting on the Tag Team division....even more. It gives of the feeling that the Title's aren't good enough to be Gold or Silver.

Though the belts do look like giant shiny 1p and 2p pieces glued to a strap of leather.

My crudely drawn representation:
http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/2185/58524528.png

But I'm not complaining. It's good that after 16 months of being unified, the belts have actually been unified into one belt. :y:

VSG 08-16-2010 11:46 PM

Are you sure they weren't canadian quarters coated in bronze?

Lock Jaw 08-16-2010 11:59 PM

Frickin' Bret Hart. :mad:

XCaliber 08-17-2010 12:04 AM

Don't get why Young was the one they chose to be the scapegoat in all of this I have a feeling Barrett will reconsider since he was up against Cena and had the guts to face him and will conclude his beatdown this past week was enough of a punishment.

Londoner 08-17-2010 12:42 AM

Lol, tag titles are bronze now? :lol: the hart family screwed once again! Genius vince!

Lock Jaw 08-17-2010 12:53 AM

I like the looks of the new titles.

Londoner 08-17-2010 12:56 AM

Xero 08-17-2010 01:31 AM

At least they aren't mauve.

Juan 08-17-2010 01:40 AM

I just read that they're "rose gold alloy." Which is 25% copper and 75% gold.

Yeah, that's actually a decent representation, as I was sitting there thinking about the lighting hitting those huge things, and I was wondering to myself "copper belts?" Although to be honest it's a pretty slick design - modern yet infused with a tinge of retro chic in there...the only thing I honestly don't like is how fucking far apart the rivets are spaced on the ends but oh, well. Ya take the bad with the 99% "WIN! :love:", I guess.

Mr. Pierre 08-17-2010 03:39 AM

I really enjoyed RAW. Nexus looked pretty good. I'm just happy that this is far from over. The idea of "re-building" Nexus since they failed at Summerslam is a great idea to keep things fresh and interesting. I guess this way at Survior Series we'll have a revamped and "stronger than ever" Nexus team. Cool idea :y:

RAW's side of NOC looks great so far with the Orton/Sheamus rematch and Miz/Danielson

DAMN iNATOR 08-17-2010 04:20 AM

I'll just say this: It was a solid RAW for what it's worth, save for the gay guest host segments. I never thought I'd say it but the diva match toward the end was really a welcome breath of fresh air for once, because even though it was a pretty great show, the matches were obviously very one-dimensional and at times felt a little heavy on the "anyonymous G.M. e-mails" and guest host segments, with a slight dose of lame-to-mediocre attempts at comedy thrown in. Hopefully next week will see some improvements though, as we begin the road to Night of Champions in just under 5 weeks from now.

James Steele 08-17-2010 04:33 AM

The belts look OK, but FFS the Spartan Hemlets? Really?

Cool King 08-17-2010 04:46 AM

I went to the Title History section of WWE.COM to try and get a better picture of the new belts but the best I got was tiny.

I would really love to have a proper look at them, but I hope they do what they did when the ECW Championship got a new design and put up a couple of photos showing it off.

But while I was at the Title History section, I noticed that the belts continue on the World Tag Team Championship's history, which is good. I thought it would be a shame to lose almost 40 years of history to a new design.

Agreed. But at the same time I am a little sadden by the fact that the Smackdown's WWE Tag Team titles aren't linked to them.

Loose Cannon 08-17-2010 10:18 AM

Amazing show last night. that's a fucking wrestling show. felt like a 2 hour movie. you had everything revolving around 1 angle, with multiple players. When a wreslting show is like that, I LOVE it. Orton and Miz get the co MVP's of last night. Loved the run in by Miz and Riley especially. Orton going nuts with the chair was awesome.

We all saw the Darren Young thing coming, but it made sense. That guy sucked.

Looked like Gabriel hurt himself a little on that splash

Testicle 08-17-2010 10:51 AM

Im a little disapointed that Young was the one to go. I think he has more to offer than Slater.

:y:Agreed. But seeing as he had been the one who had been getting jobbed out since Nexus' inception, there was really no contest as to what member wouldn't make it.

I do agree with what was stated earlier that the entire show (sans the GM email and the horrible guest host fodder) was written pretty darn well. The show had a lot and stuck to it with everything revolving around Nexus and team WWE.

The interesting part is where they will go with Darren Young from here. Daniel Bryan is pretty much guaranteed to transition away from the Nexus angle and into a feud with the Miz, which could open a spot for Young to get pushed as a face trying to gain retribution against Nexus.

I'm very intrigued to the point that I don't want to read the spoilers.

parkmania 08-17-2010 01:51 PM

I'm amazed that there weren't more cries about "They redesigned the wrong belt" in this thread.

Thinking forward: With there only 1 set of tag belts now, and the holders of the belts on Raw, how easy is it gonna be for Michael Hayes to not bother putting together any "real" tag team matches?

Snowden 08-17-2010 02:06 PM

Not sure if the same "rules" apply to these belts as the last ones, i.e they can move between both shows. Not that the "rules" really matter, and not that the Hart Dynasty are going to SD!, but just curious.

Darren Young didn't look half bad last night.

Not a fan by any means but he showed that at least he has a shred of potential.

They're "linked" to both brands, dude. They were the Unified Tag Team Championships, now they've gone back to being called just the WWE Tag Team Championships. They can still be defended on both brands, they just have a new name and design.

Mr. Pierre 08-17-2010 04:53 PM

I hope they unify the Women's belts at the PPV. Between both brands, they could have a solid division, but the two belts with split rosters is crap.

I think Young has more than just a shred of potential. In his defense, he hasn't actually been booked credibly since Nexus came about.

I think this may be a turning point for his character if the writers can legitmately come up with something for him to do. He could be a tweener in the sense that he doesn't feel at home nor is welcomed with WWE yet has a now justifiable disdain for Nexus.

Won't happen until McTaker either a) retires or b) divorces Mark.

Savio 08-17-2010 06:24 PM

Or she could just win the unified belt.
