Raw Spoilers for 12/23/13

[Fat Spanish Waiter]

So basically you answered my question but you're shit at maths?

I just assumed Finlay was 56 at all times.

 

So yes.

[Sky Blue Sam]

I've been watching TNA Hard Justice 07 this week with the first in-ring appearance of Black Reign. You look at that mess, then realise 6 years later he's been one of the highlights of WWE programming...mindblowing

[HumanChessgame]

I thought The Undertaker was older than 48 but he's had a lot of good late career stuff, though not much in the past few years.

[Phil Schneider]

Negro Casas this year, Black Terry in 2011, Negro Navarro in 2010

[Brian Fowler]

Still, lets not lose sight of what matters here: GOLDUST IS FUCKING AWESOME.

[Victator]

I watched some Black Reign and don't see what was bad about. Matches were not as good as Dustin usually is, but decent enough brawls and an interesting gimmick. 

[Reed]

DDP Yoga fixed Jericho's back, got Scott Hall and Jake Roberts clean and has now turned Goldust into one of the best in-ring workers in wrestling today.

 

Pretty sure DDP Yoga can cure AIDS too.

So, this happened during the divas match. Reminds me of something a whacky promotion like Charika or that Japanese fed that had a guy job to a blow up doll in a ladders match would do.

Look at Nikki get payback for that kick to the fucking mush.

[Tromatagon]

Charika is going to be a new diva from developmental actually

[ebbie]

Good timing then.

Pretty impressive it could travel time back to 1993. 

[mco543]

I hope Cole or someone rips off all of Maurice's dialogue during the Ice Capades scene in Slap Shot during that spot.

 

Now, who is the WWE's equivalent of Ogie Ogilthorpe?

[Big Fresh]

Now, who is the WWE's equivalent of Ogie Ogilthorpe?

Nobody deserves that honor.

[DJ Hero Morganti]

Someone needs to tweet that gif with that name to Golddust, Dusty, Cody, Cesaro, Michael Cole, and JBL

 

so that it gets called that on the air

[Cobra Commander]

was searching around Twitter, and this is a solid idea: "i hope on raw next week mark henry still makes his entrance to his own entrance theme, while wearing a santa suit"

 

or at least a Christmas remix of the theme song

[Dewar]

Ogilthorpe!!!!

 

Dustin was great again. Liked the main event, and holy shit did Nikki ever eat that boot.

[MGFanJay]

CHRISTMAS KANE ruled. Divas tag was silly, but amusing - AJ was good on commentary. Batista's hype vid was fantastic and made me want to grab his DVD off my shelf and watch it. Santa match was hilarious, as was everything that came about due to the D-Young town messup bit. The 6-man tags delivered. Goldust's return has been remarkable, and I hope he goes into the HOF next year. Main event's finish was iffy, but Big E still looked strong, and that was the whole point of it, so I'm fine with it overall.

[JRGoldman]

The best part of raw was the Santa tale of the tape which listed Sandow's favorite Christmas treats as onions and clamato. The main event wasn't great, but the three man promo from the face team was aces.

[Cole Miner]

Standard pre-taped show wrestling wise. Man those Big Show commercials were something. Good thing they wasted Daniel Bryan's push on trying to turn him into PG era Austin. I think Austin would have had the sense to say no to this though.

[Niners Fan in CT]

The two six-man tags were very good...  Henry (Good) vs. Sandow (Bad) was entertaining. The divas all looked great but that clothesline thing they were doing was a head scratcher.

It's a shame it kept going to include all the divas, because the clothesline Nikki (I think) delivered when it was just two divas swinging was pretty awesome.

[brandonr4s]

Really warming up to Sandow. AJ as the evil elf was a nice touch.

 

Had to help my gf finish the Christmas lights, so this was probably a more entertaining show than it actually was.

[DreamBroken]

Fun main event. Loved both teams backstage promos, especially the super faces team, reminded me of an early 90s survivor series team promo. Liked the stereo AA & GTS post-match. Thrilled for Batista's return being official, very much looking forward to it.

Just came in to mention that interview segment with Punk/Cena/Langston as well. Such a fantastic segment. Definitely felt very old school. Did Cena call him Punker?

 

WWE becoming all tag teams/all the time in the last year was a development I would have never expected.
