Dolfan in NYC Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 https://twitter.com/JerryLawler/status/412762437633318913 AJ busting out a Shining Wizard~~~ (Shining Witch?) Is Orton into kabbalah now? What was up with that yarn ring. I guess Rumble is a 3 way? Megyn Kelly will not be happy with Middle Eastern and Black Santas next week.

MGFanJay Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Tag champions' match sure seemed important with the commentators focusing on taking a good selfie. The opening promo was a bit boring, and hurt by everyone talking for Bryan instead of him talking for himself. Loved the tag-heavy show though. WWE feels like they've actually got enough tag teams to support two sets of titles now - shame they've only got one set now since the Usos will probably never get them. Match-wise, this show was quite good. HBK and Punk mixing it up verbally makes me think we're now getting DX vs. Team ROH at either WM or Summerslam - more likely the latter than the former since they're clearly teasing Bryan-HBK there and if HBK's coming back for one big show, why not do another? The main event between Orton and Bryan was easily their best TV match since their I Quit match, and better than anything on the PPV. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2013/12/raw-12-16-13.html Screens - Let your Soul Glo... http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/zec1ynz08hpim1aapoi49t711qw9vgvu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Great main event out of Bryan and Orton. I don't mind the DQ finish in that spot. Awesome match. I can't wait until next week's Battle for Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 BLACK SANTA IS GOOD SANTA! The battle for Christmas looks fantastic. Random heel-team Santa's corner is a fantastic idea in itself. But the music is what really made it. My hopes could not be higher for this. There is literally no way that it can not be amazing. Did you hear me, WWE? There is no way you can screw this up.

Brian Fowler Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 WORLD'S STRONGEST SANTA THAT'S WHAT SANTA DOES Hell of main event before the cheap finish. Didn't see anything before Punk's promo, but it distracted me from the mess that is the Lions game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fresh Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 From a match-quality perspective, this was a fucking outstanding Raw. Everything except the Divas match and the Tons of Funk match clicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I should also add, people need to take notes when HBK is around. He can still flip the switch from heel to face back to heel in the blink of an eye and he always knows EXACTLY how to make the crowd react the way he wants them to. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I would think the ending would set-up a triple threat at the Rumble nicely, but the Wyatt's still cut a promo on Bryan, so I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I'll go so far as to call the main event the TV MOTY. It was pretty disappointing how quickly Bryan's injured arm became a non-factor, though. You know, it's kind of funny. Pretty much all the stuff Cena said about Orton is arguably as true of Bryan. Every major opportunity he's received of late has been a gift, usually from Cena himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I liked JBL enthusiastically making a Harry Potter reference and then trying to cover when the other guys didn't get it:He looks like Hagrid.Who?Um...you know,...um...that witchcraft show.Sure, dude, sure. That "witchcraft show"...not the collector's edition hardcover book series you have sitting on your bookshelf with a mini-spot on it. I almost felt bad for him. He wants to talk about it soooooo hard...but he can't take the risk of bringing it up. Then he loses himself for a second and puts himself out there...and he gets slapped down hard. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buy Me a Burrito Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Whatever Bella that was ate the fuck out of that kick. Also, I loved the Orton/Bryan match. Great ending, also. Even JBL pointing out that Orton was beaten made it even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I know nothing about Harry Potter, so I originally thought that JBL was talking about Mike Haggar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Nikki ate the kick. And posted a pic of a blood-stained towel on twitter.

JRGoldman Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 The main event was good, Orton slowly finding his dick heel character again is a welcome development, and the ending was probably the best thing for everyone. There, analysis done. Can we just start the Christmas Raw thread now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Not sure what thread we're using. I only caught the first part of the show. That friggin' Real Americans/Henry and Big E. match was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Cole just doesn't watch movies. I remember him making fun of Josh Matthews for knowing who Black Widow is. A character in the third highest grossing film of all time.

MADCAP Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Fuck that. Why isn't anyone talking about bad-ass Real Americans/Henry and Langston tag??? I'm still marveling that Swagger was the weakest guy in the match... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
