Noid actually watches Official Raw Thread
 

Royal Rumble was so good last night I'm actually going to watch. Curious to see what they do with Drew McIntyre and Edge most of all. This is going to be an experiment.

Really wish the sexed up angle between Liv Morgan and Lana was actually steamy as opposed to them just saying "sex" a lot. Where's the softcore? Eric Bischoff would not stand for this toned down version of HLA.

Edge was emotional last night, you could tell. I think he'll cut a promo and it might be quite "special." Hopefully.

Victoria's entrance was being teased in the same way MVP's was. I guess they held her back. Seems like a nasty thing to do, so I think we'll see her on Raw.

Morbidly curious to see where they are going with Charlotte winning the Rumble. Neither her vs. Becky or her vs. Bayley feel right for Mania, and they've been done eight million times each. I think they're going somewhere either unpredictable with this, or not so much unpredictable as having a bit more going on than simply "Push Charlotte."

I was thinking they could move her over to SmackDown to go against Bayley and then have Sasha get involved because "the company screwed me by not even having me in the Rumble." It's not exactly stellar, but it feels more WrestleMania level than Charlotte vs. Bayley, you know?

Yeah but then we have to watch Charlotte beat both of them for the title. You know that belt is going on her at this point.

Tom Phillips is officially replacing Vic Joseph on RAW going forward.

I liked Vic but Tom is my favorite, so I applaud this move!

Setting the over/under on how many consecutive Raws that Noid will watch after this week at 0.5

Getting ready to be Edgeucated tonight LIVE ON RAW.

Fellow Edgeheads unite!

Dio gone not even a month after the move, Vic goes a little over 3 months.

Sheesh.

I think that was just a troll by WWE after the MVP picture got out.

I AM curious on how safe Edge is going to be working and how many dates he's signed for.

He's a breath of fresh air that's absolutely needed, but I want him going at full steam.

Agreed, Phillips is much better.

Oh man, Byron Saxton is back. Along with Lawler, I feel bad for Phillips now.

Hope Shayna debuts as Lana's #1 bodyguard and doesn't wrestle

Oh Byron too! Not my favorite but he works good with Phillips, could be good without Graves!

Alright here we go let's see if he can do this. Decent pop for Drew anyways.

Phillips sooooo much better than Vic Joseph... Joseph was freaking unbearable to listen to...

:lol: at WWE ignoring the nut shot that setup Drew's elimination of Lesnar.

Poor Ricochet, gets no credit for helping get rid of Lesnar in the Rumble.

That is one big WrestleMania sign this time around.

Drew should give Heyman a Claymore

Worried about boring standard WWE "so happy to be here" face promo

plz don't cut a hyper-emotional, "I love the fans" shit...

Lol, I was just about to say something about how well produced this show is, then did they flub and play Edge's theme?

Fuck these fans. Of course he deserves it, he won the fucking match.

Drew coming off as real likeable.

His promo is kind of stating the obvious.

McIntyre seems like an unnatural face...

*sigh*

Gallows & Anderson. I hope the money is worth it.

McIntyre's delivery is really good. Haven't heard him in a while. Sounds better than I remember.

not into this match

I love how Drew just made a really natural relationship with the audience. The confidence he spoke with. He just owned his spot. Very intrigued to see how this goes. Fingers crossed.

SHUT UP, KING!

Hopefully McIntyre destroys them within 2 mins and this is not a boring ass 15 min match where McIntyre has to sell for them and take chin locks for 10 mins

Always felt those two sounded the same at least in terms of delivery style.

Phillips biggest advantage was him doing main roster commentary a lot longer and being comfortable in that role unlike Joseph.

Luke Gallows looks and talks just like one of my friend's dads.

Because most fans are terrible I fully expect the crowd to turn on Drew shortly after Mania because god forbid anybody ever get behind someone the office is trying to push.
