The Z Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I totally forgot about Axel pointing at the WM sign and Booker saying "A star is born..." then pausing for a beat before cracking up. That was hilarious. You can probably start a countdown to his release after yesterday. I don't think you can come back from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I think HHH just needs to be the muscle and let Steph do the talking. JBL is insufferable especially when he shits on heels. Harper/Ryback was pretty sweet. Harper is amazing, and Ryback has been holding his own with some damn good workers lately. Cesaro was awesome in his match. I liked Dean's promo and hopefully they give him and Wade a feud worthy of their talents. Ziggler put in a great underdog performance, but his moveset is drizzling shits. If they're putting Bray over all these over baby faces just to feed him to grandpa Taker then yeah fuck that. Miz was the best heel on the show, and Mizdow was the second most over face. Let that sink in. Rusev/Rowan was a nice Ray Jackson/Chong Li angle now Cena has to unleash his inner Frank Dux. Reigns punks Bryan out and Daniel's all like no problem I was just leaving lol. I like these tweaks to Roman's character, and having him finally drop a singles match to get some sympathy on him. Bryan/Rollins was fantastic. Orton feels like a step down for Rollins at Mania. Reigns will be having neck surgery soon if he keeps throwing spears like that, but he looked bad ass doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 The only realistic way to spear Big Show is to do it like that. A running hug to the midsection isn't gonna bring down someone with that base, you have to go high and crack 'em hard to drop 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Well it was clearly either about the porn, leftover issues from their past relationship, or both. Yeah, God forbid HHH honor his marriage and refuse to discuss his relationship with a former lover. "To love, honor, and never speak publicly of previous, gender-bending hook-ups"? I don't think that's how it goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOTNW Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Ziggler-Bray exposed them both a lot. For all the shit people give WWE's top faces for having a restricted move-set Dolph needs to learn to do something other than a Dropkick. And Bray's control segments were just pointless restholds I was getting Orton deja vus. Meanwhile Cesaro looked absolutely amazing. Didn't he do a "Hey!" to a pretty good reaction or am I mixing that up with some other match of his I watched today? I remember Bryan trying to start his "I have 'till five!" shtick when he was WHC but dropping it after a few weeks because the crowd didn't pick it up. Hopefully this works out better.

Hopefully this works out better. Honestly, nothing Bryan did during his heel run really worked in the sense of getting him over as a heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Bray has some good high impact moves, but I agree he's a little lacking in between spots. I'm baffled why Harper isn't getting a bigger push. You have a Charles Manson looking wild man well over 6'6'' and 300 lbs who can out work just about everybody on a roster loaded with talent.

piranesi Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 It's a spot that Vince feels he needs a few of at ant time. The "Big scary heel who never wins but who you send out to work over the babyface as punishment." "So tonight, you'll be reward with a match against THE BIGSHOW/KANE/MARK HENRY/LUKEHARPER." [cut to John Cena looking sad and scared] And we all know the babyface goes over, but the idea is that they will be hurting from it. Once Vince sees you as that, you're kind of stuck in that role. I fear that's where Luke is headed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfrey Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I liked the show but I did watch it mostly with the sound off so that may have helped. I feel like Wyatt and Ziggler never really clicked but that they do have a good match in them. I agree that Bray needs to get a deeper moveset. For all the crap Reigns gets for not having a big enough arsenal, Wyatt is right there with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear that's where Luke is headed. There are much worse spots for Harper to be in. Look at the guys who have held that spot; Show, Kane, and Henry. They've all been with WWE forever and have always been portrayed as viable contenders and treated as threats to whoever the top face is regardless of how many times they lose. Harper is 35 and if he can fulfill that role until he's like 40 he would've had an incredibly successful WWE career. Will he main event Mania? Probably not, will he get a title run? Maybe short ones, but that's a really good spot to work yourself into. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Being booked like Show and Kane would be a big upgrade for Harper. The guy got dumped like a sack of shit in two minutes at the Rumble while Kane and Big Show got more shine than anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooker Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Yeah, but it's Kane and Big Show. They could go back in time to kill Hitler and still get no reaction when their music hits. There's still time for Harper to get over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w. josh Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Meanwhile Cesaro looked absolutely amazing. Didn't he do a "Hey!" to a pretty good reaction or am I mixing that up with some other match of his I watched today?He's done it the past couple of weeks, and it gets a pretty good reaction already. I think between that and bringing back the Swing, he's pulling out all the stops to prove he can get over with the crowd. I wouldn't be shocked if he busted out the UFO soon.

Ramsey Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I was on a a treadmill for the fragment of Raw I caught so, thankfully, I was spared the commentary. I saw Bray vs. Ziggler. While wasn't Misawa vs. Kawada, I think saying it sucked is a bit excessive. I like Bray a lot and it seems I'm in a shrinking minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bink_winkleman Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I like Bray just fine, but it feels like he's being wasted without some kind of cult. He should be all brainwashing people and shit. Guy like that needs lackeys, if not a full on Dungeon of Doom. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWE crowds would eat that up like "YES" and "We the people". I'm pretty sure I heard a smattering of Ricola chants when Cesaro hit the powerbomb.

The Cena feud really took all of the magic out of the Wyatt Family and they never recovered. They should have been kept the fuck away from Cena.

The Nature Boy Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The Wyatt Family vs. The Ministry of Darkness could've been a fun feud. Of course, who from the Ministry could you actually bring back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
