The Raw After Mania Thread - 04/04/16

Always a fun Raw, but the crowd reaction to Roman with the belt id going to be so fun too.

Here's the problem:


If Reigns isn't your #1 face, then who becomes that guy? Ambrose? Ziggler? Rollins? Soon-to-be-40 year old Cena? Who?

any of those options you mentioned would work better for my personal tastes.

The real answer is Nakamura.

I want to see Corbin vs Reigns. I know it won't happen anytime soon though

would love to see this but I just don't see hom being called up until after the Japan trip at the earliest unless the injuries keep piling up

I like John Cena. He never gives up and you'll never see him in a Mexican whore-house like Lyin' Ted. I call him that because he lies so much, more than anyone I've ever met.

No more PG? That'll be fun. Mostly to shut up those people that think the PG rating is the reason for garbage.

Likely just a screw up. Mine still shows TV-PG for tonight.

Same.

What are the odds Ryder loses the IC title to Owens?

I was thinking Joe would be called up to crush him when Ryders odds started getting lower. Now it might be Corbin.

Gave up on spending 3+ hours every Monday watching Raw a few months ago. Probably not gonna change that now. The post-Mania Raw last year was fairly boring IIRC.

As always, I hope some cool stuff happens that tempts me to go back and watch later.

I mean Cena is still the number 1 babyface in the company. WWE should try to build up a major match between the two, either at Summerslam or Mania. If Reigns struggles at the gate as a babyface champion, you can turn him.

There are lots of big time matches for Reigns this year, if they stay with him on top as a heel or babyface. Lesnar, Taker, Cena, Rollins could all be huge attractions.

Posts like these give me confidence that realDonaldTrump will help make TPWW great again. :cool:

Good points. I'm thinking with Cena, they'll likely do Reigns/Cena at Summerslam. I think Wrestlemania will be in Lesnar's home state next year and so I'm sure Lesnar will be in the main-event next year. Reigns/Lesnar part II can be the headline.


I know this won't ever happen, but one idea I had was having Reigns turn heel......with Eric Bischoff becoming his manager. Very farfetched obviously, but Bischoff's mic skills and on-screen presence could help Reigns. This would also add another element to a potential feud with Lesnar/Heyman.

It's all about the people. Get on the #Trumptrain or get run over by it. You're choice.

Long form birth certificate or you're Kenyan.

I don't look anything like an orangutan and even if I did, they're really beautiful creatures so I don't take that as an insult. Only someone who hates nature and God would have a problem with this. I'm a big Christian which is why the IRS goes after me so hard.

That falconarrow dude who has been right several times in the past posted stuff about Raw.

Yeah, you heard him people! It's you are choice!

I'll believe those IF they happen. I do think/hope that they will collect Charlotte's Divas' Championship belt and award her the newly designed WWE Women's Championship.

I also think tonight might be a great time to (and I know it probably won't happen, but let me dream for a moment) also introduce a pair of Women's Tag Team Championships. Would give the ladies who aren't in the title picture at the moment something else to shoot for, and I think there's a lot of interesting women's division tag teams that can be formed. They really need a shot of fresh air from somewhere and I think this would be a great start.

he's been pretty on the money every time so I'm inclined to believe it all

Better not be, or WWE can kiss the fattest part of my ass.

33 is in Orlando.

If anything I could see Lesnar v Reigns headlining that. Cena v Taker as semi main.

Personally I would just let Roman develop on the mic. I don't even think he's that terrible. Just needs to get into a groove with his promo style.

I'm going to WM Sunshine next year and if Reigns goes over Lesnar we riot.

They tried Lesnar v. Reigns at WM 31, and do you remember how that was turning out BEFORE the Rollins cash-in? I'll give you a hint: Not very well.

I'd like to see them hold off until next year and do the Shield triple threat as WM 33 main event. I agree, however that if Cena isn't injured this time next year he should be 'Taker's final WM opponent, retiring the Deadman with a 23-2 record.

Would be a bit surprised if Lesnar agrees to another year deal or wrestles at Mania 33.

A couple of interviews leading into Mania last night had him implying he's very close to being done with the WWE and not even Vince's money can convince him otherwise.

Hey, me too! I usually believe things that happen.

More things have been said.

But not always. Reality is tricksy.

But that outfit can stay on her for all time!

That just makes too much sense RDD, get out of here with that.

Except when it's on the floor of my bedroom of course. :naughty:

Well, I was trying to say I don't believe everything I read on the Internet, and that furthermore, all speculation should be taken with a huge grain of salt, even if it's from some Nostradamus wrestling guy or whatever.

I mean, she looks great and all, but I'd just as soon hop in a time machine with her and swap her for 2000 Steph. That's just me though.

That's not very good English. I'm not surprised considering you're foreign-born. Very suspect.

James Steele please please please don't hit the spoiler tab.




Look at this instead

I would like to announce, that I, Lock Jaw, will be watching this edition of Monday Night RAW Live, and will weigh in with my thoughts, opinions, and comments in this very thread.

hmmmmm.... nah

Fuck Yes!

#lockjawiswar

I'm so happy Ryder got his moment last night but I just can't see him having the title for that long. Might get past tonight but prob not. Either a call up or return takes it.

I think tonight will be an all around better show than last night but won't touch Takeover.

Big event coming out of tonight me thinks will be.. Taker-Cena pulling a Rock Cena and setting up Taker's last match for next year. If anything that keeps Roman who will be champion again next year to defend on an under card match

He has since deleted his account.

Must mean falconarrow is coming back tonight to RAW!! :shifty:

2 pages in and the show hasn't started yet.

Over/Under say 30 pages tonight by show's end?

if Bullet Club debuts, I believe it

Renee in a little black dress. :)

damn I'm not seeing the preshow.. renee pics plz...

Enzo and Cass to the main roster makes sense. One big guy and the other a good talker should do fine (until creative eventually break them up further down the road with no clear plans for them at least). This the right crowd for it as well, will be a disproportionate number of NXT fans tonight which will help.

finally got a YT stream this week... so much better than other shitty stream sites

Announcers already talking about the "fun" crowd. :lol:

lol "non-tradtional" audience

Vince wants his safe deposit box it seems.

Yeah, these fans will boo the guys people normally cheer, explain away the shit reactions. It's the fans, not your decisions.

Holy shit, that intro by the announcers.

PUPPETS

NO CHANCE baby

lol at the crowd singing Vince's theme.

lol booing wrestlemania...c'mon

I think they we're saying 'boo'urns'

weird balding Neville guy in crowd

are slik/Heisenberg/STD at Raw too?

:lol: Vince already thinks the crowd is crazy.

Give Shane Smackdown!

lol at Vince not following the crowd.

Shane's alive!

WWE addressing the crowd is their way of trying to stop the crowd "bullying" them right? Like "If we acknowledge how this is a cool thing the crowd does, it then becomes uncool for them", right?

MONEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Nice bruise, Shane.

That real or some makeup?

Why is this being done on the ramp? Just...weird. Guessing there is a reason?

Probably that or them trying to take credit for the post-Mania crowds being really wacky these past few years.

Oh snap!

Rematch at Extreme Rules?

:rofl:

LET'S SEE WHATCHU GOT

Alright, y'know what? Let's make yesterday's match not matter. You have Raw.

Shane's running the asylum along with Ambrose tonight.

Shane O'Mac hell the fuck yeah!

Taker's prolly sitting in back like, "...dafuq?"

Old Jack Swagger - Heath Slater hybrid sitting behind Michael Cole.

Never mind.

Sensible, put a face in charge, make a few crowd pleasing matches, try to work with the weird atmosphere than against it.

Fucking hell that pop for the New Day.

Holy fn pop for New Day

Consequences aren't a thing in modern-day WWE storytelling.

Feel like New Day is over like Too Cool was during the Attitude era.
