Sup.

I really hope RVD doesn't return tonight

I get to cover a cage match on Friday.... will probably look terrible....

Sounds like Rollins' theme got slightly remixed...

Rollins' new finisher should be called Checkmate. Only makes sense after that promo.

Orton is a bad ass.

Randy Orton not a fan of PG.

Bulls game is on. Is anyone really watching this? o.O

rofl

Dean Fucking Ambrose is on so yes I am!

Ambrose should have just stuck with the anarchy symbol. Not work the letter D into it.

Come on Lock Jaw, go all the way:

Raw is shit, it used to be epic but now it's just SHIT!!!!.

Who's the new honey ring announcer?

I like that Dean Ambrose found a way to refresh the jawbreaker lariat and use it on the outside. I'm not a huge fan of the move, but the outside-the-ring version is kind of cool.

BREAKING: RAW GET'S CANCELLED.....

...da faq?

Watching Gotham now, speed through Raw

I'm between RAW and the Wild game.

You're making a really convincing argument. Lots of evidence and well constructed points.

Allow me to offer a counterpoint:

I'm with Darkone on this.

Missed the first half hour, anything interesting happen?

I mean, it's not like Byron Saxton is solo announcing, or JR/Kevin Kelly/Michael Cole. Or JR / Jim Cornette.

Listening to the commentary on the first Raw of the "Attitude Era Year" they added to the Network has made me--again, somehow--appreciate current commentary. Holy shit is it brutal.

Orton threatened to RKO Rollins by the end of the night.

... I think that's all so far.

Seth and Randy Orton talked a bunch. Some threats. Your normal opening segment.

Ambrose and Harper had a pretty great short match that devolved into a brawl outside the ring until Harper fled, probably leading to a match at Extreme Rules.

So New Day has every reason to go heel people hate them,I really hate them, what are they waiting for?

Does Harper even have a personality since breaking from Bray Wyatt? Does he even talk?

Seems fucking pointless to have him on his own when he and Wyatt are heels, and he's literally the same exact guy he was in the stable.

Hahaha. Sick insight by JBL.

"When you're fighting a lucha, the key is to kick them in the mask, and the reason is because there's a head inside that mask."

New Day lol

There you go.

They're the black Bo Dallas now.

Remember when Kingston was over and seemed to have Ortons number?

Orton on the RKO rampage tonight.


Haven't had one of those in a while.

The one night a year WWE goes extreme. Other than TLC, Hell in a Cell, etc.

I'm happier but only barely cause they won't get to do anything meaningful with it.
like 3MB without the charm

BAH GAWD!!! DARK ONE WITH THE LESNAR EX MACHINA!!!!!

A+ for remembering that from however many years ago.

Well, I think we're the ones who created it. You never forget your own memes.

That is correct.

If only a Lesnar Ex Machina could save us from the backyard fed posts, but even our Lord and Savior of the Suplex isn't that powerful.

WWE killed that feud off way too quickly. Kofi was good for like 2 weeks and then just fed to Orton. Don't even remember if they had a ppv match for the feud.

Fandango back to his old music. The hell's happened these last few weeks?

:lol: Axel

Music botch.

Brand vs. brand match :lol:

Oops. They used his new--now old--music first.

Why is Axel losing to Fandango? Axel is more over than Fandango right now.

I'm hoping they'll have Fandango keep going back in time until he returns to being Creepy Johnny Curtis.

Time for re-re-relaunch of Tough Enough announcement.

Wonder what it could be?

Shouldn't the hashtag be #ToughEnoughReturns if this promo is just about Tough Enough

"We're bringing back Bob Holly! YOU'RE ALL FUCKING DEAD, KIDS."

#TripleTougHEnoughReturns

On A side note its a little disheartening that the WWE just cannot get away from the evil corporate overlord angle.
In Nexus was as close as they've come in recent memory

Tell that to Maven, Trips.

#GiveMoreThan5WomenAChance

10 guys, 5 girls.

Oh man, there will be anarchy.

Miss the Nexus. Especially at the start of it. So Unexpected. Made stars instantly. Unfortunately by SummerSlam it was pretty much squashed Cena style.

TNA-level "earth shattering" announcement there.

WWE just seems like such a meat grinder sometimes

something about the way they dangle opportunity just disturbs me

Kane...........quitting?

Unexpected.

WE COULD HAVE MADE EL TORITO CHAMPION HAHAHAHA

Poor El Torito. :(

He tucked his leg between his legs.

EL TORITO AS CHAMPION!!

Kane is so alpha on the mic when he wants to be

#ElToritoForChamp

They teased one for the Nexus before suddenly dropping it with all the higher power talk Barrett did for a while.

"Guardian of the Gate"?!

Someone must have watched "Guardians of the Galaxy" recently.

*coughcoughVincecoughcough*

How many stipulations are they going to layer on to this match?

Paige is "taken out of action"? What the balls.

Naomi looked ok in that neon leopard print.

Just started Raw, Orton saying he was gonna RKO every son of a bitch he sees, I hope happens

I doubt it

Vince's movie watching seems to just barely crack the 1960s

Gotta go make a shitty movie and kill her momentum. Classic WWE.

Paige: #100000 in the box office, #1 in our hearts.

So are the Bellas faces again or what?

She doesn't have the swagger to be a heel replace her with a real superstar

Alicia

Just going to assume they're going to give Naomi Victoria's old "Ain't the Lady to Mess With" theme.

So is Brie a face now?

No, I think this is just a heel vs. heel match.

For this week? Sure.

why can't naomi just be a really aggressive face that would be a nice change

Guess so with the crowd being on her side.

Also, you know, it turns out you can't make someone nobody cares about and that hasn't really had a character other than "married to an Uso" for like a year into somebody people care about just by having her beat up someone people do care about.

Hey he said everyone bystanders don't count?

Zack Ryder is going to be pissed. Randy destroyed part of the catering area.

Orton going full Kanyon.

Also, Heath Slater and Erick Rowan should form SLATER SHEEP.

Omg... it's haggening... KANE reverting to hellfire and brimstone KANE......

Demons don't put in two week notices.

I can't bo lieve it!

BOMAN REIGNS!!!

<font color=goldenrod>Tried to stick it out but this show is so fucking boring.

I'll give the PPV a shot, hopefully it'll be one of those shows that surprises in spite of shit build like many of the ones in mid-2014.</font>

Bo Dallas with the cheap Episode 1 heat.

Bo looks weird with a goatee.

I think he looks a bit more like his brother.

Cole calling Fandango Curtis was amusing

Tim Tebow of the WWE lol

fuck Heath Slater

Oh boy. Roman Reigns and Big Show in a match with a stip that requires them to take turns standing around.

Oh Ryder. Just turn around now.
