MGFanJay Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 JAKE THE SNAKE RETURNED! Loved Too Cool, shame Rikishi's out of shape, and Brock kicking ass always rules. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2014/01/raw-1-6-14-old-school-raw.html Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/b9odfssqf8xlx5echljfppk10w6kq7r2
Dolfan in NYC Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Dean Ambrose couldn't control his grin when Damien was on top of him. He really must have been living out a childhood dream.
Bear Wyatt Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I popped HUGE for Jake. Sounded like the people wanted the DDT but getting the snake is the best. Great stuff.
piranesi Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Dean Ambrose couldn't control his grin when Damien was on top of him. He really must have been living out a childhood dream. It's pretty clear that Dean is just super ticklish. At least that's how it's going to go in my dreams tonight. 2
Reed Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Dean Ambrose forgetting to sell and smiling like a little girl when the snake was on him was great. 8
Cobra Commander Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 as was Jake teasing putting the snake down Dean's pants with one of the other people audibly mentioning something about "PG" around that time
RonL21 Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I loved that Dean Ambrose couldn't help but smile. I would have loved to see his face when they told him what was gonna happen
muhammedboehm Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Sounded like Punk saying some like 'That's not PG Jake'
Skelemania Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I liked that RAW. Kinda wish there more old school RAWs. I was marking out left & right. Ted DiBiase's laugh, all these years later, still floored me. :-)I feel like this show was built around stuff that I cared about more. Daniel Bryan in the Wyatts. The Shield. Brock Lesnar. Talking about Big Dave coming back. I even enjoyed Ryback on commentary.I dug it. My only real complaint was the crowd was too quiet. The Godfather should have gotten a bigger reaction, in example."Can we fire Justin Roberts now?" LMAO!Let's not even talk about how hard I marked for The Snake...
Overly Critical Man Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Looks to me like The Shield had 21...but Jake had 22. 10
NintendoLogic Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 After reading the house show reports, my main fear was that Bryan was going to end up the Buddy Roberts of the Wyatts. Based on tonight, it looks like they're going in the opposite direction. Plus, I'm a huge fan of coveralls in wrestling. So consider me cautiously optimistic. Did anyone else see that "I'M ONLY HAPPY WHEN IT REIGNS" sign? Jesus, talk about old school. 6
Reggie20x6 Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 You got Blackjack? Yeah, well I got one of those too! 3
Rehabilitated Rick Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 ''It's PG now Jake, PG'' Punk is tremendous.
Lazlo Woodbine Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 The Godfather's Ho's have aged terribly. I was only half paying attention before Jake showed up. Fantastic. 3
Greggulator Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 In the course of six months, Dean Ambrose has eaten a Dusty elbow and had a snake molest his face. That's living the dream, daddy! I loved Dean trying not to laugh/smile as Damien was sliding across his skin.Pretty fun show. Punk/Reigns was really good. Rhodes Boys vs. The Real Americans was even better. Just please keep giving me 20 minute tag team matches like this, WWE. All I ask for. The Piper/Shield stuff was great -- Ambrose really is the next Piper. He was coming off like the dude from The Warriors who says "COME OUT TO PLLAAAYYYYAYYY" and I would do anything for him to use that as a catchphrase.The Wyatt stuff was a really interesting development. Daniel isn't brainwashed as much as he wants Bray to teach him how to unleash the monster. And, in return, he can teach The Wyatts how to win titles. That's some great hero's journey stuff there -- he has to band together with the rogues in order to get to his ultimate goal, which is to take down the machine.The divas match stunk but I loved Alicia Fox's reaction when Aksana got the win. It made the match feel like it was an actual athletic contest. Good on her.I can get down with Lesnar destroying giants for a bit until they figure out what to do for WrestleMania with him. 1

Tarcos Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Seeing Jake in a WWE ring made me break into tears. No fucking Lie. Jake Roberts is the reason why I love wrestling. To see him in the shape he is in now after how his life has been? Amazing. 1
Cristobal Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Gotta say this: 8 billion "old school" references and yet NOT A WORD from Cole and JBL as Punk did an airplane spin before the GTS? Fuck's sake...
piranesi Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I kind of dug short-Hogan and Fat-macho sitting in the front row. Although something tells me those weren't actually costumes, but just kind of the state of things for those two dudes.
Cobra Commander Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 also love that they're still advertising Daniel Bryan v. Bray Wyatt in a cage for house shows (apparently they did that match over the weekend as a voluntary beating sort of thing, but i'd imagine they're turning Bryan back or doing 4 weeks of Daniel Bryan taking voluntary beatings in a case) And Baltimore is now the site of two surprise Jake the Snake appearances
Greggulator Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 And I don't care, Bad News Barrett RULES. Him talking about flea market photo sales was great. "CAN I HAVE SOME DECORUM IN HERE?"Ryback on commentary was really great. Also, I don't think I'm alone in not caring one bit about the title match. 3
Cristobal Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I agree with everything Bad News Barrett said tonight. Even the stuff that's wrong. Just out of spite.

Brian Fowler Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I mostly have been watching the football game, but we can put to bed any "can Roman Reigns have good singles matches" discussion, because that was a damn good match. And.... JAKE JAKE JAKE JAKE JAKE JAKE JAKE
