MGFanJay Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 The Taker-Brock thing took forever and didn't make Brock look very strong. Then a bunch of nothing happened until HHH's glorious meta video package that made his match with Bryan more important and worked to bury a lot of wrestling tropes as well, which was a bit stupid. More nothing happened until the fantastic Cena reveal in the Wyatt getup. Piper's pit was God-awful. The main event was fun due to the commentary and Bryan beat-down. The lack of a finish sucked, but hey, you don't want anyone in the main event jobbing beforehand, so it makes some sense. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2014/03/raw-3-31-14.html Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/0yhv16nlvbn7ec0as5ch0drlqa1tdnbd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Bryan kicked all sorts of ass. All was good in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antacular Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 BUT WHY IS BRYAN EMERGING VICTORIOUS RIGHT BEFORE THE PPV WHERE HE'S CLEARLY 100% NO IFS ANDS OR BUTS GUARANTEED WINNING THE TITLE???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Triple H was golden during that closing segment bouncing around like a million bucks. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipGofern Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 To use DVDVR's new favorite expression: I hope HHH showed enough ass for everyone tonight. Good grief did he bounce around like a superball for Bryan. If this HHH fought Jericho at Mania, Jericho would still be main eventing today.

The Damn Yeti Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I know better than to address this, but... He didn't emerge victorious. He'll emerge victorious on Sunday when he's part of a contest where there can be a victor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I absolutely loved the Triple H and Stephanie video referencing all of those who HHH has "buried" over the years. Fantastic. The ending segment was awesome too. Bryan fucked shit up and HHH bounced around like crazy. Sold the hell out of it. Good stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Mostly blah show. Triple H's masturbatory video package was glorious. Steph's "You ok, baby?" after Hunter getting the piss beat out of him was hilarious too. Bryan putting in a fantastic performance not only at the end of Raw (with help from HHH's Hennig-esque bumping) but also promo-wise on the Backstage Pass show on the Network.

Hagan Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 That Hunter and Steph interview was great. Them doing the whitest Fandango-ing ever was glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipGofern Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yeah I hope they play parts of Backstage Pass on Smackdown because Bryan is doing one of the best babyface promos in years on there. His comeback to Barrett was glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Seriously, that promo from Bryan just now on the Network has me more excited to watch him beat the shit out of Hunter as anything has in this buildup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ass over teakettle for the suicide dive. Over the barricade. Over the steel steps. Triple H with some awesome stooge bumping. Also great was when Triple H's music hit for his entrance before the main event, the capture clearly got Batista saying "WHAT THE FUCK??" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 This is what I had hoped they would do with these pre and post shows on The Network. Bryan popping up and cutting an amazing promo and answering questions from all of the analysts, etc.. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehabilitated Rick Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 "What some people call desperation, others call necessity" Bryan just sold me on the show. Man that Lesnar/Taker opening segment couldn't have been more predictable; although Taker's matches these days are all about the match, what a lousy build-up.. really, why hasn't the altercation between them from that one UFC been mentioned? This is years in the making, make me care!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinQuinn Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm just shocked Brock got a shot in. Until tonight, DDP had better luck against Taker than Brock was 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
