RAW - March 28th - The Road to WrestleMania/Prayer Circle
 

It's the final RAW on the road to WrestleMania. I'm going to try and watch as much as I can this week, my son owenbrown has horrible diarrhea so he might need to be here as moral support for him. Please pray for him. Also, please pray for a good RAW, it's been a stinker (no pun intended Owen).

After his kendo stick assault on Brock Lesnar on SmackDown ended in an F-5, Dean Ambrose will have retribution on his restless mind when he enters the Barclays Center for Raw. Will The Beast Incarnate be waiting in Brooklyn, N.Y., six nights before their No Holds Barred Street Fight at WrestleMania? Plus, how will Shane McMahon and The Undertaker respond to Mr. McMahon’s announcement that, if The Deadman does not defeat WWE’s prodigal son inside Hell in a Cell, this will be his last appearance on The Grandest Stage of Them All?


Who is the true authority in WrestleMania's main event?

To what extremes will Ambrose go to slay The Beast?

Are we approaching The Undertaker’s final WrestleMania?

Will Jericho accept Styles’ challenge?

Can't wait for Stephanie McMahon to be in half the segments putting herself over tonight

I wonder what else will get bumped to the preshow (Divas 5 on 5 match plz)

Two people I know are there tonight. Bastards.

This means I am conflicted between wanting a good show as I'm bothering to stay up to watch it (no work tomorrow) and wanting a shit show because fuck those guys.

I think what we'll get instead of three limp hours of standard mediocrity.

I fucking hate when the commentators call Brock "The Beast Incarnate". It sounds painfully forced. I hate these like mass produced forced fucking nicknames. Just awful

Wonder if the WWE will be able to topple last year's laughable ending for Mani's go-home show.

I only watch RAW just so I can laugh at how awful it is.

It's pretty much the same attitude I have to where I work.

I'm holding out hope they have a Takeover hype match tonight. It's pretty sad but that's probably the event I'm most looking forward to this weekend . Hall of Fame may even be 2nd at this point in time.

Bets on who she'll emasculate tonight?

I can't believe it's the go home RAW for Mania.....and I don't know if I want to watch or not.

let's go WWE Raw

Okay, Vince. Many questions to be answered here tonight.

How bad do you want us to watch WrestleMania?

Is Roman Reigns REALLY gonna be "the guy"? Will you pull a last second audible tonight for the title match?

Will there be an equal ratio of wrestling/segments/advertisements/PPV promoting tonight?

What's the big news that's been going around the net today?

Problem is, the injuries is the built in excuse for if Mania bombs at the box office. There will be no real reflection on what they should do differently.

This is going to be awesome. Can't wait to get home to out this on. There has to be a bunch of matched around the IC ladder match which will be the goods. Plus, it's the last show to get Roman over. There has to be something epic happening with him.

I mean surely Taker is going to respond in some way negatively to Vince calling Taker "his bitch" last week, no?

Undertaker right out of the hells gate

Box office is "allegedly" sold out. WWE Network is..........WWE Network.

If they take a hit on anything, it's the $100 PPV buys. Or whatever the going rate this year is.

Cool @ Raw being in Brooklyn... hopefully will "seem" like at least a decent show cause of a good crowd even if the show is horrible

I just rushed back from the loo for the start of this and it's Taker's entrance. I could have had another five minutes dammit.

de undataka

The WWE title match at WM needs more of this guy...

Yeah.

Still have no clue how this Shane/Taker is gonna play out. All I know is that Trips wants it to go on last.

so is Undertaker/Shane still *actually* happening? they didn't add some crazy stipulation or anything where Shane has someone fight in his stead?

Tell that to Roman

There were rumors for a while about Cena possibly replacing Shane although that was before it got confirmed he wasn't going to return in time.

Taker loses.....................HE'S FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRED!

Per Vince last week.

wonder if that was the plan all along

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but how it's not Brock Lesnar that Shane is fighting, I do not know.

WrestleMania logo pisses me off. Looks like it got bull horns which means The Rock should drop in.

But he's got better things to host like the MTV Movie Awards.

Deceiving.

Undertaker is just a giant mess of a bunch of stupid things thrown together

"dead man"
"MMA gloves"
"weird desperado hat"
"my house" dialogue

just stick to one motif... w/e he's like 60 he'll be gone/dead soon anyway

Shane needs some hair dye

Shane McMahon reminds me of Bill Simmons now for some reason... grey hair

Shane and Taker are looking very orange.

UT rocking the skullet

The fact I have no idea what will happen with this angle is what makes it by far the most interesting in the run up to Mania.

This angle also benefits from not involving Roman Reigns.

Shane has a thick neck... UT has a stupid neck tattoo

Feels like they have already done this "schtick" like 4 times

YOU DON'T GET TO TALK ABOUT MY LEGACY

Wish something cool / interesting would happen

namedrop cody rhodes bruh

Takers going to win

this is defs not worthy of a "holy shit" chant, but at least the crowd is alive... I'll allow it

A man in his 50s facing off with the owners son who hasn't been around for a few years and has never been a full time wrestler.

Yet this is still the best they actually are offering.

SPOILERS DAMMIT :mad:

Shane's punches still look awful..

Lol so stupid

Starting early.

Great back and forth on the mic.

Not so good with the punches again.

Interesting choice to humanize the Undertaker.

:lol: those punches.

They didn't teach ya much in Muay Thai training, did they Shane?

Shane should just stick to being a spot monkey... his "filler stuff" (punches etc) is bad news

Foreign objects to the face, how much we've missed you.

here we go

But there won't be any television monitors inside hell in a cell this Sunday, Maggal!

Don't try this at home, Shane's kids.

fuck yeah

Whiff

Genuinely thought Shane was about to come up short then

okay I'll overlookg the punches for that

BLOOD!

Can't throw a punch to save his life but he can still drop an elbow!

I knew I still loved Shane O'Mac!

Hey RDD I've missed this segment, will start watching shortly, but I need to know... did anyone overcome any odds or dig down deep in the first segment?

perhaps... I know Shane defs was RUING THE DAY for a minute there

I had visions of Mick Foley at Wrestlemania 2000 the moment he went to the top rope.

Holy Shit

Damn u guys see that lil glimpse of Shane's chiseled abs...

He barelyvtouched Taker

UNDERTAKER GOT UP AFTER 4 MINUTES OF BEING DOWN AFTER AN ELBOW

HOLY SHIT

welp I guess we know Shane's losing on Sunday

"the gunslinger" ... smh

I JUST CAUGHT THE PERFECT JUMP HOLY FUCK

Crowd is good "as per" usual for Barclays Center... a lil overzealous "holy shit" / "this is awesome" chants but that's cool...

Quite surprised with all the injuries they have, WWE allowed Shane and Taker to do that.

All downhill from here lads

In their defense, a 'this is passable' chant would be hard to keep up.

just got home...how was the opening segment w/ Taker/Shane

who was 'in control' when it ended (aka the person who loses this Sunday)

"More of everything you love" is coming to the WWE Network

You mean wrestling right?

opening was good

sry u missed it

went to commercial w/ Shane looking 'sweaty' was the first thing I saw while Undertaker's music played...

SPOILER ALERT BELOW: SHANE'S ABS

sweet....replay time

Was really good and even had a crazy Shane spot.

He's in shape for the match. That's a plus.

definitely seemed winded though.. that's alarming

Shane's punches still look bad...

where did those Abs come from...

elbow spot was cool

Zack Ryder looks like the guy from BroScience

fuck yeah Jericho

It's not too hard the crowd needs to be honest with itself. Awesome is a stretch.

Zack Ryder GOING TO MANIA!

Desperate for his father's approval, innit?

http://i.imgur.com/HYpFZCP.gif

So are we getting a Styles/Owens do-over from last week?

I'd like that very much.

love heel Jericho

Zack Ryder or Sin Cara are almost definitely getting attacked in the back to be replaced by said attacker.

weird look for Styles.................

As long as days were rued, I'm pretty intrigued

I've highly enjoyed this run

AJ needs to show off that flow

Styles in a baseball cap? Really?!

this is honestly the most I've enjoyed Jericho in like 5 years

Jericho's offense is very "dismissive" of Ryder... ha ha
