Niners Fan in CT Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Good show. I think all these threads will be merged so I'll get my shit in. Very good show. I loved the hardcore match, much better than their tables match last night and a great crowd makes a big difference. Vince was awesome all night long. Too many quotables to remember. Reigns over huge by the end. He killed everyone including McMahon himself. I laughed my ass off when he pushed his limp body off the apron. And New Day Rocks.

evilwaldo Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Let's be honest. Reigns got the Mankind treatment tonight and Vince showed how to put over a new champ and let a heel get his comeuppance. Everything Vince did was beautiful and it shows how much he was missed. Evil staredown when he arrives to arrogantly stopping a match to giving Reigns one last chance to pulling out the ref to taking the superman punch to letting Reign kick his lifeless body out of the ring. Pure gold from Vince and RAW missed him. Vince demonstrated to HHH and Steph how the arrogant heel gets their comeuppance at the end of the day. There is a lesson to be learned from Vince tonight. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincey Greene Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 We always blame Vince. That was classic Vince. "Fuck it, this isn't working, let's just put it on Roman TONIGHT!*. Roll the dice. Probably not the response you'd want when you finally pull the trigger though, pretty tepid. Wonder if they Dusty it off him next week.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Comedian Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Finally, after trying the Rock ("funny" promos), John Cena (incorruptible babyface), and Daniel Bryan (take countless L's chasing the title) approaches, they realized they needed to give Roman the Austin push (beat the fuck out of everyone in your way). And judging by them getting Philly to cheer Roman, it's working. On the other hand, apparently the WWE thinks that offering sincere praise and respect to your opponents the night after a hard-fought match, then daring to celebrate your victory afterwards makes you a heel, while jumping your opponent out of sour grapes makes you a face. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I'm not going to spend a lot of time in this thread after this morning reading over the absolute shit show of terrible HOT TAEKS people spewed out over the TLC PPV thread, but this was a really fantastic RAW that will be remembered for all the right reasons. A really strong pair of nights for the company that have had so much more good than bad, hopefully they keep the momentum rolling. I totally get that it took them way longer to get here than it should have, but at least now they're here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Still can't believe that in their desperation to be taken seriously they announced that Reigns was going to be on ESPN BEFORE THE ACTUAL MATCH 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 It seemed strange to me that an arena full of people working for the same company would leave the corpse of the company's historic leader and CEO splayed splintered across the ground spread out like a flaccid balloon animal for like ten minutes.

JCM Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Fargo ended in time for me to catch the finish. Big pop for the title change, but I'm curious to see if it will carry over. It should help that he actually won the big one without losing it right back. So we get HHH chasing the title now? ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 So apparently we can vote for any of the WWE guys in the Slammy Awards this year. So the DVDR last chance for Superstar of the Year winner Mark Henry begins tonight I hope it is Heath Slater myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Request: No creepy MGFanJay screenshots. We made three separate threads to try and beat him to the punch, so at least they'll be buried in the middle somewhere when RIPPA merges them.

EVA Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Gotta respect Vincent Kennedy McMahon for stepping up like, GODDAMMIT I'LL GET THIS MOTHERFUCKER OVER, IF I HAVE TO DO IT MYSELF. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 The 8 man tag was better tonight. Nice to see Rowan get the pinfall. Brodie Lee would havd been such a natural for ECW. The reaction for Reigns at the end still seemed pretty lukewarm. I guess having your balls cut off by Stephanie three hours earlier will have that effect.

In classic Vince fashion, he wasn't afraid to make himself look like a big giant idiot in the end for basically being trolled into giving Reigns a title match then getting knocked out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I got back from work just in time to watch the end. I looked at that headbutt and said out loud "ha, that was a shoot headbutt"... seconds later, Cole says "he's busted wide open". Called it! Then I said to myself, "they're cheering him in Philly, this worked". Then I come in this thread. Called it! Kicking Vince off the apron was the cherry on top.
