monday night raw - 4.20.20
 

not a lot of buzz for brand red 2nite

I might check it out live if my roommate is in his office. If not, I'm waiting until tomorrow. Don't want to put him through this.

I feel like there was a match that I was looking forward to tonight, but I forget what it was.

And I guess I'm watching live. Anyone else here?

Whatever, I'm happy with new wrestling.

I like how they mentioned the NXT past between Drew and Andrade.

That looked like The Miz's belt there.

Seems weird to see the wwe champion on raw, wrestling

Angel Garza, main eventer. How about that?

This is actually live tonight?

Vince is ghostwriting these McIntyre promos. Feels like he is going for the cool good guy with Drew ala Diesel during his championship run.

Where's the crowd?

Yeah, I was just thinking about how uncool he sounds. I hate the notion that a face turn has to mean they become COMPLETELY different than what got them over in the first place.

lol

I'd let Aleister Black give me ten black masks for five minutes with Zelina Vega. :heart::heart::heart:

Already booking this new stable to look very strong

Garza and Theory pulling a Cena by not bothering to help save their best pal Andrade.

Garza doesn't look like much of a main eventer from that exchange.

:(:(:(

I don't think he gives out black masks

MVP?

They kept him around?

Shows how much I haven't been following WWE these days.

Jerry Lawler's shirt is making me legitimately sad.

AHHHH, Murphy v. Mysterio. That's the match I was looking forward to.

A couple of months ago, they sent me a survey with a bunch of talent listed wanting to know who you would like to see more of on TV. Zelina was on that list and was probably 1 of maybe 3 or 4 that I marked atop....glad they listened to me!!! Wowzers!

What's that kick called?

When they spent all of last Monday building them up the whole episode to have them all destroyed with ease I just :nono:

He headlined WrestleMania last month against Goldberg in the "battle of the super legends". It was a First Blood match.

Black Mass

So why is Charlotte on the poster for MitB if NXT isn't running qualifiers for the Women's MitB match?

Like it makes sense to showcase Bayley, Braun, and Strowman since the winners of the MitB matches get a title shot at those belts if they are from the same brand.

I never knew that. I thought it was like a mask because it lands on your face.

Triple H has been around for 25 years?

I feel like it's slightly less than that.

This will be awkward

Who ya rootin' for, Zelina?

I start HHH's tenure at Terra Ryzing.

Damn. Zelina's beauty is just striking. I can't help but, like...gaze at her, I guess. Out of body experience type shit.

Zelina Vega is ridiculously hot. Aleister Black is a lucky, lucky man.

I got invited to go hang out with some friends in Dayton when Tommy End was coming through Rockstar Pro and staying with them, but I didn't know who he was at the time, and I was busy doing something else. I wonder if he had Zelina with him when he came through? I'm just going to tell myself no.
