RAW is Renee *OFFICIAL THREAD* 8.13.18
 

RAW

Might tune in for this. Mostly because I have to get some work done and I can use the background noise.

I will be watching some, cannot guarantee I'll waste 3 hours of my life on this though.

Renee Young is on commentary and Dean Ambrose is coming back.

That should be interesting

I probably won't tune in for the start but I'm curious to see how she does

Here's hoping Renee will be a light in the Darkness

Renee's in the booth to put Cole is his place.....hopefully.

The go-home Raw before Summerslam.

What can possibly go wrong?

A lot of things, that's what.

NO ANVIL

BOO

Oooh. North Carolina.

We're in Braun Country.

RENEE!

Renee's in casualwear.

That's a +.

Ronda eulogy > RIP sign.

I'm surprised Ronda is out here to do this.

Kind of weird to not have Natty do this heartfelt promo but makes sense considering the circumstances.

Not if Alexa is dangling a bag of Twizzlers in front you, you won't win the title, Ronda.

That was a terrible Segway from a real life event to a storyline

Captain Fox had a disaster in wardrobe it seems.

You wanted Natty to work today?

Alicia Fox head-dress. wtf lol

Does Alicia Fox think she's going to the Kentucky Derby?

Pretty terrible since Natty/Alexa don't really have that long of a history.

I missed it. They had Ronda do a eulogy and then right into a skit with Bliss?

Fuck, Vince.

Alexa actually has a point with Angle being a dumbass on protecting his champs.

Alicia Fox is coming to us today as the Ghost of Christmas present

This is so bad.

Black dude's reaction is your new meme pic

I wonder is Michael Cole going to try to pull that s*** that hevpulls with Jonathan Coachman on Renee

Hahaha I loved that opening. I thought Ronda did great on the mic and taking out the security team made me LOL in a good way. The transition to story was a little weird but I don't have high expectations for WWE writing.

Was really hoping the APA would be the security

No. Give her whatever time off she wants to cope.

Just felt a bit weird especially with the quick transition to the title feud stuff. Makes it comes off as just cheap cheers for Ronda than actually being sincere.

It's worse than that they connected them.

Should I be watching the match or this Brock/Roman hype video?

I see the Summerslam commercials are starting early.

If there is one thing I hate about WWE's shows is they still have no idea how to properly pace commercials. Even worse now that they found out how to use the split screen ads for their own personal use.

We can't wait till the women's Evolution pay-per-view let's box the women's matches so we can promote Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar one more time

I saw this match friday night and it devolved into an 8 woman tag match

This is probably going to go to a tag match too

I bet they found that option right about the time Kevin Dunn discovered the video effects suite

I don't wanna help out Ember Moon, Ronda.

Alexa's hot.

I love Ember Moon, if I was booking she would be the champ

This announce team is much better than Cole/Graves/Coach.

A lot of "OH"'s from Renee.

:naughty:

Ronda fixes her pants/gear too much. She needs to find the right stuff to wear.

Why not this match at the SummerSlam? Top Guys should win either way. Say yeaaaaah

Theres already like 16 matches for Summerslam

Okay everything involving Ronda Rousey does in with her making that scrunchy face

I'm actually dreading Summerslam. I got Lost in New York on Friday, NXT on Saturday, and I didn't buy tickets to Summerslam because I didn't want to spend 300 on a ticket, much less 600 for a pair. Dreading watching 6 or so hours of Summerslam on TV after all that live rasslin though.

Why was Joe so beat up on those Smackdown clips?

Is Brock "here" tonight?

Apparently some praise for Heyman's performance on Raw recently has made its way onto some TV critics blogs as one of the better performances going right now. Pretty strange.

But why is he crying and eyes all red is he totally wasted here or something?

WHAT'S THE SECRET?!

Paul could so easily get a role on a good TV drama playing a similar character.

BIG STAKES FOR THE BIG DOG

Kill me

Fabio?

Dolph looks like a low rent Greg the Hammer Valentine

Imagine a world where Baron Corbin is "your boss".

Or at least really a constable

Who does Odo choose for his opponent tonight? No Way Jose?

What in the flying f*** happened to Ziggler's head

Look it's Baron Corbin I wonder who he'll be facing....... .

He saw Triple H's old stylist.

Possibly may be booking a handicapped match against a "retard and a homo" to "get at" Balor even more.

Wonder if Corbin could actually fire Angle as GM.

Seems being a Constable is equal to being a GM instead of being more assistant level. RAW already made it clear Corbin can make matches (via Steph) and veto Angle's decisions (via Steph). All that's left is the power to fire someone since he already has Steph's permission for anything he does.

I miss the "hey look its Tyler" part

This should have been a Jailhouse Match

Oh god I never made the connection and I feel really stupid. Angle and Corbin will have to pro grapple each other at some point.

I bet Corbin has gotten even more lazy in the gym now that he gets to wear a shirt.

We need to start a drinking game for everytime Renee says oh

Ah, I'm not the only one to pick up on it.

It's like... has he never herd of steriods?

He beat him with his signature move hahahaha.

RAW's commentary sounds soo refreshing when they are not constantly bickering with each other or randomly blabbering about dumb things.

Oh hey. A signature move got a pin. HOW ABOUT THAT

Hey, Corbin won with the deep six.

A much better finisher than End of Days.

MY WORD OF THE HOUR FOR THE FIRST HOUR IS "REPLACED"

I hope Breeze is making retirement money because I have no doubt that he would be a main guy in ROH, MLW, Lucha Under, Impact and other US or international companies (save for NJPW I don't think he'd be a top guy there).

I'm remembering all these promo predictions and going the opposite direction in Tipsters.

I think that's the first time he's ever won anything with that move

tuning in now, how has it been

Jinder is still not great, but dammit I am all in on this gimmick.

I guess they are trying to knock down the match count for Summerslam, maybe they are counting on Jinder to concuss Balor again.

Turn it off.

I don't know they've done quite a bit for that dreadlock guy and Tyler Breeze is way better and way more interesting

Mahalko

Corbin having friends is unbelievable, even in the rasslin world.

Ronda gave tribute to Nattie and Anvil. It was a nice, then poorly transitioned to Alexa bliss. Amber Moon and Bliss rassled for a long time and I don't remember who won but Ronda took out a bunch of security and yanked on Fox's arm a bunch. I don't remember anything else and I've been watching it all. :|

See this right here is why I almost didn't want Baron Corbin to cut that s*** off his head because he is the perfect unlikeable he'll flabby body stupid tattoos all of it

Oh Juice? Well I agree that Breeze is certainly better than Juice when he went to NJPW but Juice is loose baby and the world is on fire.

CJ Parker/Juice Robinson. The NJPW US Champ.

I wonder if he underwent some kind of plastic surgery or perhaps a tattoo removal/new tattoo. I dunno, it's really odd to have him wrestle in that shirt. Could just as easily be a decision to get heat I guess. It's stupid.

Thx @clockshot and @JordanX!!

I'm up 2 date now

How many theme reloops of Owens theme song in the commercial break?

Oh yeah Slik we are going to hear Roman's thoughts later tonight as well.

Angle to send out Braun to even the odds.

this is a tag team match now playa its true its damn true

Why are they promoting that garbage fire Flo Rida when they could be promoting Elias's album

I hope that Balor goes full demon at Summerslam and squashes Corbin's kiester and goes onto something better with Dolph, Seth or Drew.

BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

We want GABLE.
