Patrick B. Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hell, I figured Jericho won last night because he was being fed to Reigns first. Stupid logical assumption. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The closed captioning trying to keep up with Enzo was great. I think they thought that Enzo was a Chief and his friend was Big Cat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince: Fucking waste of 3 bills an hour. Phil to crowd: Now Express your needs Crowd: We want some Bayley! We want some Bayley! Phil to Vince: Now did you hear what they said? Vince: Yeah. They want a strong charismatic champion, like Roman REEEEIGGNNS Phil: I'm out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I was expecting the title of this thread to be RAW Is 10% Taller. Fun main event, if you aren't Sami Zayn. Would've made more sense for Nattie to mention their first match on RAW where she beat Charlotte. At least, I think I'm remembering that correctly.

HumanChessgame Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 So the outcome of Shane's match ultimately meant nothing since he got to run Raw for a night anyways. Even though he did pretty much nothing the whole night. Enzo & Cass debut was everything I hoped it would be, though Carmella was a bit conspicuous by her absence. There are worse people to get into a first program with than the Dudleys. As stale as they are, they are still good on the mic and can work decently well in the ring. Poor Vaudvillians are going to be dead in the water, I'm afraid. I'd figured Ryder would drop the belt to a returning Cena, and really feel bad for him that he had to lose it to someone as insufferable as the Miz. Crews is still a physical specimen who is completely uninteresting in the ring. Someone had mentioned that since character work doesn't matter as much here than in NXT he might be better suited but time will tell. Corbin is still just another lumbering big guy to me. I might have cared about a Wyatts/LON feud if they had built on it when they started several months ago and had a Mania blowoff. Still, I'm not going to write it off as dead weight. Was it really that hard to have Roman do those types of promos from the beginning? The cocky "I don't give a fuck about the fans" swagger and few words is just the sort of thing he should have been doing all along. Main event was about 5-10 minutes away from being an MOTYC. I'm thinking (and hoping) the Sami injury is a work. Cesaro was in fine form and it's excellent to have him back. I'm going to temper my enthusiasm till they actually do something worthwhile with him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 If Bret Hart and Ric Flair end up feuding by proxy over the women's title, that's pretty much a guarantee that somehow Brook Hogan ends up holding the belt. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I may be a dope, but I think Enzo is shoot hilarious sometimes. The one tonight about putting D-Von's lazy eye to work about made me piss myself. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck that guy. I think a lot of people are going to have that reaction. I mean, he's over with the NXT crowd, but I can see the casual fans kinda scratching their heads wondering what the fuck he's talking about.

It's the Rock's schtick but coming from a runt, which is kind of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His catchphrases are stupid and it just doesn't entertain me in the least, but the crowd seemed to enjoy it so maybe I'm just an out of touch old man who doesn't know what a burrito is. Doesn't matter if it's 1999 or 2016, if you say your catchphrases with confidence and have charisma, people want to sing-along-with you. Road Doggs/Enzos of the world will always get love.

Vincey Greene Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 12 minutes ago, Smelly McUgly said: I guess Roman Reigns is stealing Baron Corbin's "Indy Killer" gimmick because what I'm thinking is going to happen over the next few months is that Reigns beats up all the fan-favorite indy stars with a smirk on his face during title matches. He's a tweener. Like Diesel, but without the charisma and with way better matches. Let me know when Roman has a match anywhere near Diesel/Shawn from Good Friends, Better Enemies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhammedboehm Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 So let me understand this the start the show with Cole and crew talking about how wild and unpredictable the post mania crowd is and how great that is cause it show the fans passion. To then have JBL complain over and over and over about how crappy the crowed is cause there being unpredictable and wild? So we can now add an additional level to the women in wwe. The can be a bitch, or crazy, or a daddy's girl that can't do anything with out him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Dave Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Zack Ryder may have lost the IC title, but he gained something he's never had before; a program that he's the focus of. He and Miz are close in real life, so I wouldn't be surprised if Miz ends up putting him over, especially with all the guys from the IC match moving on to other things. Super psyched for Enzo and Big Cass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
