Final RAW before WrestleMania 36 - March 30, 2020
 

The big go home show for RAW before WrestleMania

Anything can happen in the WWE :shifty:

Raw brought to you by SLIKMANIA BAbayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!




love the effort to be positive Slik

So, I'll ask the dumb question.

Taped or live show?

Still shit

They've already taped this week, Mania and the RAW after Mania

And they aren't allowed to tape anything else until further notice from the City of Orlando

Might be my final RAW for a loooooooooong time, I'm going to try and make the most, er, worst of it :lol:

Yeah. I thought so.

I'll give this a few minutes of my time.

Honestly dude, I read results now and again just to see what's up.


Was interested to see Mcyntire smash Lesnar..... but beyond that, nah. Major Undertaker fan too, but he seriously needs to just stop. Defying his own words from an interview ages ago where he said he didn't wanna be the old guy who didn't know when to hang it up. It has been time for a long time.




Slik will carry this thread, and RAW to new heights!

More like the Stay home show

Missed opportunity if they dont air that UK bit with McIntyre training with the old guy

Buuuuuurn

Undertaker defending Michelle McCool's crappy wrestling career

Biker Taker is back

Taker's promo was whatever.

Still don't feel invested at all in this Taker and Styles feud and mainly due to it starting over a trophy that was quickly forgotten and resembled the one on Nickelodeon's Guts show.

They taped through the Raw after Mania.

I know that -- Doesn't mean I'm watching it.

Next week aka the end of RAWs streak for longest running weekly episodic television series

Becky Lynch still has that ugly ass semi truck?

Why?

Unless she's delivering groceries or medical supplies, no reason to be driving that.

Lol, my bad :D

They probably spent good money on it not to use it

fearing aj will job like ddp to michelle

So is Becky going to just stand in the ring during this match replay?

Also WWE is one extremely lazy company when it comes to handling these empty arena shows. Could have done video packages and pre-tape stuff to eat up time and also build for Mania but they took the lazy way out instead.


Wonder if that's when WWE finally learns their streak was never official since I think Guinness or some other record keeping place doesn't consider it to be legit.

Tuning out for a bit, I re-watched Becky vs Ronda vs Charlotte on the Network over the weekend actually.

Want to take this time to suggest a hidden gem on the Network, WCW Hog Wild


Ric Flair vs Eddie Guerrero
Rey Mysterio vs Ultimo Dragon
(redacted) vs Dean Malenko

Good stuff!

wonder if ronda will come back this year

I have a feeling we'll see Ronda in some capacity at Mania.

Sort of hilarious that last year's historic Mania main event match ended in a dud or was flat because of a ref botch.

Bet that might have been the original plan

Wonder if ESPN is happy with WWE's antics of re-airing big matches from past Manias before they can. Should have struck a deal for different Manias to be re-aired if that was going to be the case.

Just turned this on in the background (from the beginning)

Undertaker's promo weird...... buried the entire modern roster essentially, then goes on to talk up his wife's finisher....

Safe to say Becky is retaining at Mania via go-home spot of doom

Going to laugh if all these recent squash matches by Black to build up his Mania status just results in him losing to Lashley at Mania.

KOmania IV

I watched Sunday, they cut out matches with AEW guys in it except for the Andre battle royal

Kind of funny the basis for Austin Theory's heel turn was pretty much nothing going by how sudden it was on NXT last week.

WWE suddenly decided they needed a replacement heel and just plucked Theory out of all the heels possible on NXT despite him not being a heel at the time.

6-man tag match was pretty decent.

Big Show probably turns heel on his family in that Netflix series 4x an episode

:eek: Owens swore on tv.

Not sure saying "dipshit" is PG.

Kevin Owens cutting a promo to Seth like he didn't just have a match involving him.

Seth/KO confirmed for Saturday edition of Mania

LOL @ WWE advertising SD "LIVE" this Friday

so tired of seeing Edge clip from the Rumble...

Edge's promo was pretty great. Him and Orton have done an amazing job helping build up their Mania feud compared to other notable feuds for this year's Mania.

Promos much, much better tonight, fitting for Mania time.

Asuka/Kairi vs Alexa/Nikki official

So going by WWE logic, Kabuki Warriors are dropping the belts at Mania and Carter is winning this week's Gauntlet match on NXT.

Might need to work on the Steiner Math to make the formula work since its two different shows though.

Asuka again the best thing on a PC show

Ugh

:| WWE airing another past match to eat up time tonight.

Guess on the bright side, this Mysterio vs Lesnar match from last year's Survivor Series was somewhat short going by Wikipedia's time for it.

Took a long nap after work just because. I miss anything that wasn't a rerun?

They should make Saxton/Phillips the permanent commentary team for RAW.

Lawler isn't needed (imo).

:lol: forgot how goofy Rey's "lead" pipe was during this feud. Lesnar almost flattened a part of it when he stepped on it during this match.


A couple very good promos and Angry Asuka making a rare appearance.

lmao fashion files snickers commercial

So what are the odds Drew is going to hit Lesnar in the nuts during their match at Mania?

Almost everyone else does it whenever they have to face Lesnar and Lesnar still stubbornly refuses to wear a cup after all these years.

If a Lesnar gets hits in the nuts and no fans are around to see it...

WrestleMania 2 was the only WrestleMania that was Too Big For One City

Sigh....Cole going through the Wrestlemania with all these cool pirate themed graphics. :( What could have been with that RJ stadium pirate ship..

lolol. still advertising Reigns

Rusev shaved his head..lol

Wonder if anyone from WWE actually saw the music video for "Blinding Lights" and just picked the theme because the singer is named The Weekend and Mania takes place on a weekend.

Seriously the video itself doesn't really fit at as a theme song for WrestleMania nor the pirate theme for this year's show.

Like at least some of NXT's questionable choices for Takeover theme songs is due to Triple H and his kids liking the songs and bands.

Brock's expression is that of a man who just found out toilet paper is sold out everywhere.

God they really wasted Ziggler. Such a great performer all around and he's just perpetually mired in shit.

PG is gone!

WM 24 used Snow (hey oh) by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and that's the same deal

Funny that dipshit and bitch are ok to say on TV but we draw the line at goddamn.

Damn, heyman got in 3 swears. Add that to KO for 4. How long has it been since there were 4+ swears on a WWE broadcast? Gotta be like 15 years.

That was probably one of the better Heyman promos in recent years.

RAW itself was decent at best but none of these empty arena shows from RAW and SD have been that entertaining to watch, especially as the final build up for Mania.


Yeah although some of that was his fault post-2013 since he didn't really evolve or reach that next level as a performer. Also didn't help the quality of in-ring performers kept getting better over the years due to NXT so he stood out less.

It's sad that the thing from RAW I am most hyped about his how many times people swore on air.

Probably also somehow used up AEW's one allowed swear word per week.

Chuckie T is going to flip out if that ends up being the case.

"I wanna say it so bad but I cant because some jerkoffs on Monday night used up all the swears for the week!"

"I need toilet paper, NOW"

Taker/Styles is gonna suck. I’d trust AJ to get something out of Taker in the ring, but a walking brawl in a graveyard is gonna suck.

Was at a cousin's house when this aored2. No one paid for it but we were able to watch the whole thing.

The promos this week were v good, I thought.

Makes me hate the "what" chant so much more because I have a strong feeling that crowds will do it the first chance they get to ruin every promo.

What?
