I had "OH god damn it" ready to post.

Clearly production truck is still shaken after the Brauncident, so someone forgot to hit the "cut" button.

Bruans whole night

Braun should have destroyed Kevin Dunn when he had the chance so RAW doesn't end in awkward dead air this week.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a call tonight..... but my tag partner did

Tom Guycott 01-15-2018 11:25 PM

For a fleeting moment, I thought Hawkins was X-Pac.

Also, cake caterer needs new pants.

That's okay, man.

You're still unpinned and unsubmitted on Monday Night Raw. That's pretty dope. If they had called you, your odds may have drastic gone down, especially given that Kurt Angle would be in the mix.

Yea, there's always next time. He was the "head security guard" who told Strowman he had to leave

Tom Guycott 01-15-2018 11:38 PM

So, what's the over/under on the "fix" for Cedric Alexander's charisma vaccum outside of the ring is that he's going to be the high-flying successor to Goldust?

There's a "watching gold paint dry" joke there somewhere, but I don't feel like putting forth the effort.

Maybe... but you're saying all men are created aquel. Titan is a genetic freak, and he's not normal.

Tom Guycott 01-15-2018 11:45 PM

Unrelated to anything I've said so far: I've given everyone rep who posted the WORLDWIDE .gif because of course I did it's goddamn glorious.

Fignuts 01-16-2018 12:11 AM

Wonder who Damninator thinks black people call during an emergency.

Shaft?

Mr. Nerfect 01-16-2018 12:11 AM

Looking good, Titan. :y:

Cannot believe Seth brought back the Curb Stomp on MLK Day. :lol:

Poor Mitchell* Cole. In his WWE tenure, he has had to endure Heidenrape. Getting taken out by Lesnar. Twice. And now the mother of all wedgies from the Monster Among Men. I guess when Lars Sullivan gets called up, we will see the guy get pink belly, and Authors of Pain will take turns dunking him in the toilet for swirlies.

Anybody Thrilla 01-16-2018 12:41 AM

The curb stomp has nothing to do with MLK. American History X wasn't a fucking documentary. Are you all fucking stupid?

A) DAMN iNATOR is contagious

B) It has "History" in the title, clearly historical documentary

C) MLK regularly curb stomped people after speeches

Pick one

Anybody Thrilla 01-16-2018 12:55 AM

Really disappointing.

Pretty good Raw, though.

Mr. Nerfect 01-16-2018 01:02 AM

They banned it in the first place because they didn't want children doing it, not because of its association with a movie critical of race relations in the United States. And thankfully all children have now grown up.

You're talking to a bunch of people who still watch Raw and cheer Braun Strowman. I'd say you've got a pretty good indicator there.

Lock Jaw 01-16-2018 01:10 AM

When did Noid start being anti-Braun? Or have I just not noticed.......

Mr. Nerfect 01-16-2018 01:29 AM

I think he's got his place, but it's limited and the hokey "Braun gets compacted" stuff is gross.

Mr. Nerfect 01-16-2018 01:30 AM

I've never been "sold" on him. The stuff I've seen on PPV has been pretty bad. I think he's over because he's been the only guy that has been allowed to toss runts around.

#BROKEN Hasney 01-16-2018 02:12 AM

Braun is the only segment I'll bother looking up each week right now. I don't like him in the ring, so I only watch it when he's done something with a grappling hook or let Roman spear himself into an ambulance instead of a whole match, but that's still more than 99% of Raw.

Dark One 01-16-2018 02:32 AM

You're all dead to me.

Emperor Smeat 01-16-2018 02:48 AM

If WWE stubbornly doesn't want to strike while the iron is hot with a title reign for Braun, him randomly destroying people and stuff every week has been great as the next option.

Normally, WWE's booking of monsters gets stale really quickly but something about Bruan has defied those expectations and even has the crowd fully behind him.

Mr. Nerfect 01-16-2018 05:00 AM

Is now really the right time for a Braun title run? I don't think it's necessarily the wrong move to be cautious with jamming Braun into that role and throwing everything planned out.

#BROKEN Hasney 01-16-2018 05:23 AM

At this point, I'll take anything up to and including Curt Hawkins V Heath Slater for the title over Roman V Brock.

Mr. Nerfect 01-16-2018 05:34 AM

Brock vs. Roman is going to be a tremendous match. And the build to it is there. They haven't gotten Reigns to where he needs to be to be perceived, on-air, as an effective top babyface, but the wider canon of him being the top guy is there, and hardcore fans will still stick around.

I'd personally like to see Brock retain, but at this point I'd definitely run the match.

owenbrown 01-16-2018 06:35 AM

Noid clearly justs want to watch the world burn.

#BROKEN Hasney 01-16-2018 06:45 AM

Pretty sure with the rumored card I'll be skipping WM this year anyway. Bar 30, I don't think it's been a great event in several years. Last year was fun up until and including the ladder match, so I'll probably still Czech out individual matches if people I resonate with are raving about them.

Will listen to all 7 hours of New Legacy Inc talking over it though because I am a madman.

Hmmm should Braun beat Miz for the IC title?

Thought about it, but it just doesn't seem like a good fit.

Blonde Moment 01-16-2018 09:24 AM

HHH vs Braun at WM or the Rumble?

slik 01-16-2018 10:14 AM

How can anyone be Anti-Braun...Braun is one of the best things in WWE today.

Lock Jaw 01-16-2018 10:55 AM

Well, Braun is no Doug Basham.....

Tonya Harding 01-16-2018 11:11 AM

There will never be another Doug Basham.

Cool King 01-16-2018 04:35 PM

I actually quite enjoyed Jax/Asuka.

I think ending the match the way it was ended was good, as there was no legit winner or loser and it leaves everything open for a rematch.

I actually think/hope that Jax will be the one to end Asuka's streak and win the Women's Championship in the process. I can see Asuka winning the title from Bliss, holding it for a while, then Jax defeating her for the title and ending the streak as a result.

#BROKEN Hasney 01-16-2018 04:52 PM

Apparently, even though Jericho as announced for Raw 25, he has no deal in place yet.

That match was definitely a lot better than I was expecting it to be. I was into it.

Anybody Thrilla 01-16-2018 05:23 PM

DAMN iNATOR decided to post on my profile here that he in fact WASN'T being racist at all in this very thread and that I am, in fact, a dunce. If anyone else wants to let him know about himself, I'd encourage you to do so here. In public. For everyone to see.

#BROKEN Hasney 01-16-2018 05:26 PM

Is this the place to reaffirm you're a dunce too? I mean, not for these reasons, I just mean generally.

#BROKEN Hasney 01-16-2018 05:27 PM

Sorry, DAMN iNATOR will take that serious. NO I DO NOT AGREE WITH YOU DAMN INATOR

Guess what, dick mouth? "All you were saying" was racist as fuck.

Besides being a straw-man, no he's he not. Watched Benoit vs. Basham from OVW Fall Brawl the other day. Good stuff.

Not anti-Braun, I think he's got a place at a certain level. But reasons I am not sold:

a) Hate his name. "Tough Strongman." Yuck.

b) Don't like his look. Giant Eugene.

c) Don't like him in long matches. Green as goose shit. See his work with Brock as evidence.

d) Only gets over when he is in there with scrubs. Lars Sullivan could be doing what he does better, because Lars looks better and anyone can do it.

e) Absolutely hate the goofy presentation designed to try and appeal to...I've got no clue. Kids? The shaking cameras, the lack of reality, the inconsistencies in story and physics. It's like a 5-year-old is booking their favorite wrestler and everything bends to their will. It's just silly, especially when that wrestler isn't that good.

Basically, I think he is a symptom of how terrible, unimaginative and lazy WWE has gotten. I think that he is one of the most over guys on the roster shows how poorly the WWE build up genuine stars of genuine ability level. I also find the lack of integrity in the presentation insulting. Not on the same level as Jinder Mahal winning the WWE Title, but close. Why did Kurt fire him? Why did Kurt re-hire him? Why does he struggle with Michael Cole but how can lift a semi-trailer? It's just dumb, and it's blurring together with the comedy wrestling you see in PWG, only it's with a big muscle dude instead of with little flippy guys.

I like shit to matter. I want it to be treated with a bit of integrity and for it to make sense within a world. I don't like "nothing makes sense in this world," as a good justification as to why nothing makes sense. I think that's lazy and a cop-out as to why ratings and attendance keep going down, because who could honestly say that this is good television and that they want to subject themselves through a 4-hour show to see Braun go "Roar!" like an internet meme? Peppered through as a special attraction with a focused tone and whatever, fine, but the whole "WWE is ironic, haha," attitude is completely deaf to where they need to be heading. But that's just MY opinion. You keep liking Braun. I'll be interested to see how the WWE tracks over the year. My guess is downwards, but we'll see.

Loose Cannon 01-16-2018 08:07 PM

I watched some of Raw for the first time in a few months. i usually have been reading the results on Tuesday and then I'll You Tube what i found interesting.

it was a tough watch for me. like I've been watching WWE forever and have seen my fair share of silliness, but every Braun segment was like watching something that i think was supposed to be serious, but instead was pure comedy. And i like Braun. I think he's awesome. But good god it was like the everything he was involved in was written, acted out and produced by 9th graders doing a school project.

watching him walk into that production truck and destroy papers, watching him pick Michael Cole up and throw him into a barrage of people, watching him hoof and holler as he tears pictures off a wall and then watching him pick up a semi with that hillarious camera work. i felt kind of embarrased watching it.

I shut it off after the Cole segment (after Kurt rehired him because Steph said so lol) because i couldn't take any more. I did enjoy rhe Enzo segment and the tag match with the Bar though.

Now I did watch some stuff this morning like Jason Jordan quickly becoming my favorite act and the Miz being Awesome!

but please no more Braun siliness.
