Well if Braun's staring Raw, I can call it a night soon afterward.

Don't worry guys. I'll be here.

Really looking forward to 200 minutes of Braun Strowman murdering nerds throughout the arena.

Highest rated Raw of all time.

I like how the crowd is dubbed out.

I'M NOT THROUGH WIT YOU!

BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

Booker T.

Oh boy.

BRAUUUUNNNNN

Braun the biggest face in history since Moses saved the slaves.

IT'S GONNA BE GOOD'T

Reigns gonna spear him through a table

Ooooooooooh. A pissed off Kurt Angle.

Braun now more over than Jesus.

God damn, Roman's gonna bury Braun again.

.......................or else.

Braun Strowman is going to tip the entire set onto Kurt Angle.

Love me some Braun so hard.

I wonder how long it will take until Angle gets fed up with the you suck chant and turns on the crowd.

Good matches 2night!

Braun on a rampage all night is a-ok with me.

Kurt's gotta remember it's on him whatever happens.

I missed it. What happened with Kurt and Braun?

Pretty quiet for a Raw thread.

Kurt came out, threatened to suspend Braun. Gave Braun the night off.

Braun wants more competition......................or else.

Oh, and Braun vs. Roman at Payback.

Two weeks without Dark One killed the ratings.

Sorry guys.

Kurt announced a match between Braun and Roman for Payback. Braun wanted competition for tonight but Kurt threatened to suspend him. Braun warned him that bad things when he doesn't get what he's given, sighing what happened to former manager Foley. It wasn't that special.

Some asshole ruined my suspension of belief reminding me that no man can lift an ambulance.

Brain should definitely pop out to the ring ever 3 or 4 matches and just beat the fuck out of people until the end of the night when a weakened reigns comes out and gets broken in half again.

BRAUUUUNNNNN

I wonder if Seth Rollins will injure his knee while on commentary

He did that in his first run.

Samoa Joe vs Chris Jericho on Monday Night Raw.

What a world we live in.

That was cool, The right man won

I'm hearing Ric Flair right now.

Anyone else?

They are running with this Kingslayer thing

Woo crispy? Woo tangy?

Just the way Joe sounds/talks.

Seth Rollins looks really constipated

Seth Rollins, insanely boring as a face

I think Samoa Joe could solve the water crisis in third world countries if he would just show up and talk.

LET THE HUNT BEGIN!

Nice... I like when they tease really horrible matches but then just use them as a setup for something else and the matches never really happen

The Drifter just randomly showing up in the background is the best gimmick.

Other than Braun Strowman murdering nerds.

Um, attacking Goldust and R-Truth just makes Braun even more of a face.

C'mon Braun. Finlay & Jamie Noble scare you off?

I feel like Steve Austin could interrupt Braun Strowman, and Austin would get booed out of the building.

Ha, I actually had a moment of surprise that Golden Truth actually got booked on Raw. Then Braun showed up.

Does anyone else get Jamie Noble and Austin Aries confused?

BRAUN
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MrTsuvykUZk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Notice how Braun walked away from Finlay. You simply don't fuck with Fit.

So Braun will fuck up anyone in his way as long as they're not Finlay or Jamie Noble? Alright then. #WWELogic...

Or one-half of J&J Security.

Assaulting officials brings fines.

Ref is gonna die

So Gallows & Anderson against......................?

LOL, Finlay and Jamie Noble couldn't do much against Braun, but a ref is gonna make him leave? :roll::lol:

United Airlines, very topical!

Meh.

Can't imagine being Goldust get suited up and put om facepaint for basically nothing

Well, they did ask for nerds.

God damnit Graves.

So, which one of ya wants to win a vacation with these guys?

Pfft, he obviously didn't give a fuck that he could've been suspended, what would taking a small portion of his scratch do besides piss him off even more?

It's an unspoken rule that you are allowed to attempt murder on talent and be ok but mess with the corporate side and you can get in trouble.

where is DIY

I mean, I see your point and all, but that's not really a threat to someone who is the living embodiment of trouble, though.

Since this Enzo and Cass match is killing the show, I will provide rep to anyone who can come up with a WWE Branding Machine name for people/events for the remainder of the show.

Think THE ULTIMATE THRILL RIDE and FANTASY WARFARE COMES TO LIFE or THE OUTLANDISH RICH SWANN.

it is national haiku day

please post some WWE RAW haikus

There's an interesting finisher for ya.

When is Cass gonna get fed up and body Enzo?

I'm not even sure how to process that finisher.

Doesn't most, if not the entire roster have some sort of nickname or "title"?

This is kinda hard.

Although to be fair, I'm sure that a light breeze could put Enzo down for the three count.

My rep is precious.

So happy Anderson showed how weak Enzo is.

Miz TV with Dean Ambrose as the special guest.

Tonight's topic: Who's wife is hotter? Now that Ambrose & Renee Young got the Drive-Thru special at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Vegas.

Missed the first hour, did anything interesting happen?

WrestleMania 34 - "PLEASE LOVE ROMAN REIGNS! :("™

Braun is on a rampage tonight.

Samoa Joe beat Jericho.

Gallows & Anderson beat Enzo & Cass in a snoozefest.

You're up to speed.

yessss @ miz/maryse

Maryse gives me a raging boner

Nia Jax is what happens when a run-flat tire and the emergency broadcasting voiceover are combined in a lab.

FIRST TIME EVER: AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura

Braun cane out and acted like a badass on the mic, Kurt came out and said he should be suspended and that Braun will face Roman @ Payback, and Braun said what about tonight?, and Kurt said he was giving him the night off and Braun said he wanted competition tonight...OR ELSE.

Later, backstage Golden Truth were headed to the ring to face Anderson & Gallows but got beaten up by Braun which was broken up by Finlay and Jamie Noble.

Later still, Braun appeared to be taping up in the locker room, when some random ref showed up and reminded him that Kurt had given him the night off.

Braun got a huge face pop, told Angle to get him competition...or else
Braun walked out and then beat up R-Truth backstage, leading to more "Thank You Strowman" chants

Enzo/Cass vs Club last 4ever before Club won via handful of tights

Samoe Joe destroyed Chris Jericho and won via submission

branding talk making triple a horny r/n

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...e7380aed5f.jpg

Zubaz and fanny pack woooooo!

Ride Along last week with Miz and Maryse was pretty good. They seem like a great couple.

Dean taking his time to put everything in a neat pile only to make a mess afterwards does fit with him being a bit loony.

Kalisto's gonna die.

Wonder if Kalisto now regrets going to the Red Brand.

Kalisto is Braun's luggage

And Big Show ruins the fun.

Braun Strowman is also environmentally friendly. He responsibly disposed of Lucha Things. SUPER FACE.
