RAW AUGUST 5TH 2013

[Skelemania]

The only acceptable ending involving The Shield last night was if Mark Henry came down to the ring and gave them, Orton, Cena, and Bryan the World's Strongest Slam. Then Vince comes out, screams at Henry for "Ruining everything" only to also get hit with the WSS as he shouts about people not paying their air breathing fees on time.

 

I have heard from reliable sources that his heart does not, in fact, pump Kool-Aid.

[LooseCannon]

One thing that's being glossed over is the end of DB's promo:  "I'm going to make John Cena tap out." 

 

That's why I think it would be interesting if they went with the "controversial" finish of DB busting out a new submission move to make Cena tap, but Bryan's shoulders being down and the ref counting three at the same time that Cena taps.

[Pete]

 

The Layla promo about her turn didn't make a lot of sense. "ALL the divas better watch out, because I want all the attention!" So she holds hands with the Divas champion, who gets the most attention and has the title...okay.

You can tell the WWE is lettting the soap opera writers handle the Divas because this angle is classic soaps. What happens when the crazy girl gets abused and dumped by men one too many times? They go lesbian.And who gets more attention than the two drunk chicks making out at the end of the bar?

 

I kinda want them to have Kaitlyn go psycho heel after getting betrayed one more time, snap and destroy the entire Diva division. Like the Sheik with boobs.

[Rows]

I noticed that green shirt was her own WWEShop shirt.

 

We'll end up seeing a mixed tag match where both divas have merch and one of the guys doesn't. Arguably the one guy who will get the bigger push out of all involved.

[Charlie M.]

Absurd prediction time...

 

Triple H turns heel and becomes the leader of The Shield.  Sick of Vince McMahon, he decides to take control of WWE by force with the hounds of justice.  Vince gets taken out, heel HHH runs shit for months and Vince brings back Austin to take back power of WWE from Triple H.

[Kaptain Kayfabe]

I really don't get what they are trying to do with Kaitlyn. They make her look like a fool constantly, she is the butt of jokes, everybody turns on her... yet she is still on TV every week. It's like they are burying her, but instead of sticking her on Main Event with a never-ended feud against Alicia Fox, they are keeping her on TV for the sole purpose of making her look bad. I'm usually not into the whole "so and so has backstage heat and is being punished" blah blah blah whatever, but my God, what did this girl do? 

[Rows]

Its bad booking. Like, they're setting her up for the big win, and then hold it off for another month, only to set it up again, just to hold it off. How someone loses, loses again, THEN gets the odds stacked against them is beyond me.

 

Watch, they'll let her get a couple of cool spears in just to make you think its time for a win, only to have the ref turn against her.

[piranesi]

There's nothing unusual about that.  The face wins every direct physical confrontation, but the heel wins when it counts, due to interference.

 

The upcoming match just tells us if they think Kaytlin can carry the belt and be interesting, or if they want to line up another Face to chase AJ. 

 

If they bury Kaytlin at the PPV, that isn't necessarily bad booking.  It just means she was booked to fail.  She wouldn't be the first midcard Face to fail to defeat a heel that they were running with as title holder.

 

In fact, I would rather see that because Kaytlin is boring and AJ is not.  I would still like AJ's comeupance to be the entire roster coming at her, and she insanely charges into them because she's a madman.

[Patrick B.]

Didn't Vince think she was fat or something?

[Rows]

The thing is, no one really is after AJ anymore. Hell, AJ just got more support in the last week.

 

Going all the way back to that hilarious "Mystery attacker" at Night of Champions last year, it just seems like the whole divas division is out to screw Kaitlyn, whether she's champ or not.

 

WWE could save this all by revealing some super complicated conspiracy. Even better if its done the same way TNA did Immortal.

[JRGoldman]

That segment with Stephanie crying was like watching someone who has never cried ever trying to do an impersonation of being sad. It was harrowing. 

[Rows]

You'd figure Steph would be better at this considering she's been an onscreen character since 99.

They're setting Dolph up as the next top face of the divas division, if this angle is any indication.

[Patrick B.]

They're just killing time until Aurora Rose turns 21 and can begin her dominance of the divas' division.

[LooseCannon]

Maybe Kaitlyn is a placeholder while they negotiate on a return for Kharma.

[Rows]

I'm not even sure I'd want Kharma there.

 

I mean what heels are there? Layla, AJ, and the Bellas? I'm supposed to think any of them can give Kharma more than 2 minutes? I can kinda buy Kaitlyn, and maybe Natalya if they bothered.

[truename]

They're just killing time until Aurora Rose turns 21 and can begin her dominance of the divas' division.

 

I wasn't aware she was just 7, so I searched her thinking she could have some twitter account. Found out there's this pornstar named Aurora Rose in twitter who posted about one month ago she was changing her name for legal reasons. Interesting to say the least.

[just drew]

I'd unapologetically watch heel AJ run from face Kharma for longer than I'd care to quantify. Jus watch the shit out of it...

[Pete]

So how long have they been giving Fandango's music the "bouncing ball" treatment in his entrance video? I cracked up for that last night.

[piranesi]

If she has some other women to throw at her, so they can save Big E. as the last boss Kharma has to get through before getting to AJ.

 

Kharma having Big E. get in her way, taking a second, to think if over, and then knocking him off his feet as AJ looks on in terror would be outstanding.

 

What they need to not do is have AJ make the whole thing about funny videos calling Kharma ugly or fat.  Such stupid crap should have no effect on her whatsoever.  AJ should just be putting obstacles in her way and never going on the offensive with skits and shit.

[Niners Fan in CT]

No matter how badly they book Kaitlyn she'll still be MY favorite so that's one thing going for her...

[themaskedaccountant]

No matter how badly they book Kaitlyn she'll still be MY favorite so that's one thing going for her...

 

totally agreed.  Kaitlyn is my fave too.

[Rows]

At least she's not a happy smiley diva babyface.

 

She's pissed off at least 70% of the time.

[Niners Fan in CT]

..and snarky. CM who?

If you have that feud and go that route, I think you need to have AJ try to do something psychological at least once, just so Kharma can no-sell it.  Plus, AJ can flip out about things not working.
