MonteCarl Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 It really bugged me last night that Roman Reigns completely no sold the arm/shoulder work that Rybaxel spent the whole match working on. Heck, them repeatedly bashing his shoulder in to the ring post and not stopping was the finish of the match. Then he pops up and gets his comeback and is hitting punches and spears acting like the match never happened and that he wasn't getting rammed in to the post just 2 minutes ago. I was literally talking to my screen "Sell the fucking shoulder!". Those things DO matter and really took me out of it. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldcupfever Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Stephanie's selling the Yes! Lock with her tongue hanging out almost made up for the brutal attempt by Brie to apply said lock. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino_Not_Deuce Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 My theory about the music is that there's a big jukebox linked to the PA system and the guys all have to enter PINs for their theme to hit. Maybe they have little microchip planted in their feet like those late 90's WWF action figures. I had that. If you put a guy on there who had the chips on their feet but didn't have a corresponding theme, you'd get a random one playing. I also remember putting it in the attic and being woke up 5/6 years later by it repeatedly playing Stone Cold's music. I can only assume some ghosts were having a grand old time up there. As an aside, I don't mind Eva Marie smiling at Brock's entrance because I did the exact same when he interrupted that nonsense. Hulk Hogan's birthday party, come the fuck on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebbie Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Y'all missing the worst part of the Brie/Steph thing... That's gonna be DB's storyline when he comes back. They built him up as some incredibly nice guy and he cheats on his wife. No one is buying that. And I want Eva Marie to pop up at terribly horrible times smile like a damn idiot. Make her BNB sidekick. Haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Dave Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I loved when they played Piper's music and his crazy ass came out with that look in his eye like "we're here to fuck shit up." Man I love Piper... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I wish the company would do something to promote this "network" they're supposedly running. I might subscribe if I knew a little more about, like cost or something. Maybe they'll mention it on next week's show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I love that the crowd now chants along to "9.99." I predict that this leads to Herman Cain being the new RAW GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Kayfabe Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I'm pretty sure the whole point of "Daniel Bryan is cheating on you, Brie" thing was that it was all a set up and we were supposed to know that. The fans weren't rejecting the idea - they were seeing that Stephanie is obviously a liar. That was kinda the point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I'm so over Bray mumbling his bullshit for five minutes every week. Has WWE ever had a more verbose promo?

Zac_Fu Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 1) Paul Orndorff needs to square off versus Dutch for an old timey fight spot. They'll throw mock jobs and throw one liners, but it'd still be better than the Reigns handicap matches they're doing at this point. 2) All you guys talking about how unattractive the PT in the Brie/Steph angle is can gimme a break. She's moderately attractive and apparently not a cold fish so allegedly D-Bry doesn't need to send a thank you note afterwards. Girl doesn't have to be a 10, even if he's with a 10, and frankly if half of you guys had a five it'd still be three better than what the average driver could pull at a con any weekend any way. 3) That Cena promo from anyone else would've gotten love and respect and lauded over by most of the fan base here, but because it's Cena it's gonna get shit on and called "shooty" and whatever? Give me a break. If that promo had been delivered by Punk during his summer, you'd have been all up on it. It was a great promo, and yeah Cena used 'shooty' terms in it, but I don't think it made it any more or less shooty because of it. It surely wasn't more shooty than some of the Punk promos we've heard and they were shooty on purpose. They better pull out all the stops for this PPV, or they're gonna need the network to go intergalactic at this point or people are gonna start losing their asses.

John from Cincinnati Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 The only thing I want to know about tonight is what the hell was Orndorff saying to Paul Heyman during that whole segment. He was probably complaining to anyone who would listen about the bum in the leather jacket who was holding him down backstage and picking food stuffs out of his moustache. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mco543 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 After thinking about it, my absolute favorite part of Raw last night was Cena hauling ass down to save Hogan when he's let his girlfriend get the shit beaten out of her almost every week for 3 months. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagan Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 If I'm not mistaken, they don't acknowledge Nikki and Cena on WWE air. I'd much rather see Rusev getting the main event push instead of Roman right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Personal Jesus Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 The Steph/Brie stuff would have worked perfectly fine if Brie was the worst actor in the history of the company. She neither had a look of of sadness nor "this is total bullshit, I don't believe you for a second". I was just awful. Steph is carrying this angle totally, it's really just to keep DB relevant till he comes back which is good, but Brie needs to just stay home. And this "she's not hot" is awful and totally missing the point of the angle. Claire Lynch didn't really have a backstory, she was just a random lady claiming to have sex with AJ, hence to be believable (I guess, don't necessarily agree) she needed to be super hot to just randomly tempt AJ. This is DB's trainer, someone close to him, someone who he would be with all the time, someone who's caring for him while Brie's running around in this war with Steph. If that's not a "realistic enough" scenario for you to see an affair taking place because she's not hot enough for you, you're a shallow douche. Normal human beings have affairs because feelings come up when they spend alot of time together like in this scenario, not "oh, she's so hot, let's bone" you shallow morons. This isn't based off your Brazzers porno fantasies, it's supposed to be a realistic scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't say Cena talking about "refusing to lay down for Brock, and you can take that however you want that", and talking about turning was intended to be shooty.

I only recall FSW and maybe Victator hating them for their shootyness. Cena's comment there seemed more an acknowledgement that some would take it for something shooty rather than just giving his damnedest to put Brock away.
