Dolfan in NYC Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Bayley debut! Although, you could hear the crowd's dread that Mick was going to introduce Nikki. Something stupid about the big red belt. Who cares. Oh, and hey, why not sound a homophobic dog whistle during the show too? I guess they did promise us some new LGBT characters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 So, it's clear that Johnny Knockout is a cub who's into bears, but what I want to know is whether he's a twink or a twonk? Or maybe a twunk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I guess there was no way of knowing when they layed out the main that Roman selling an eye injury looks like he's tweaking out on Aderall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammo~! Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Saxton was throwing shade at that jobber before the Strawberry Brumble match. Loved the "We want Slater" chants during Titus' train wreck of a promo. Has Karl Anderson won a single singles match in the WWE? I know he's a tag team specialist but the dude was in the finals of a G1, you can throw him a win once in a while. Jericho rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I want to start a new fad self-help movement where you start everyday like Bob Backlund: 1) Wake up 2) Open front door. 3) Begin flailing arms 4) Begin screaming 5) Run straight out into the first person you see 6) Keep running until you hit someone big enough to stop you Do this for two weeks and you will know what you are really capable of. I'm calling it "The Secret." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Well, the jobber had an actual wrestling name and a bit of offense this time around. But then he got pinned twice. It's Brooklyn. Of course we were gonna get a Harambe sign and "you can't wrestle" chants for Reigns. Overall this was a perfectly fine Raw; the only real complaint I have is no Sheamus/Cesaro match. If they're gonna drag this out for months... Sami really had us there for a minute, right? Or were they actually seconds away from calling an audible?

piranesi Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hey, guys who were worried about Smackdown. No problem. The rosters aren't fixed and they can always do "free agent signings." Like, for instance, Jinder Mahal. Or Bayley...... Or Jinder Mahal.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ray Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Man, I thought for sure that Bubba was going to turn on D'Von, join the Shining Stars and become Boriqua Ray. You're leaving money on the table Vince. Bubba in PR Flag outfits and straw hats like Veneno in old CMLL skits? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Jericho tried to get himself over as a heel by acting as childishly as possible, but he forgot that for crowds who chant "You can't wrestle" at Roman Reigns, "stupid idiot!" is like the height of wit to them. You overestimated the WWE Universe, Jericho. Stupid idiot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie M. Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Charlotte is the perfect champ for Bayley to be chasing. Loved Dana's little "You Deserve It!" bit. Match was nothing but it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. Roman and Jericho was a strong main event. Selling the eye was unique and the slaps at the end were a nice touch. Sami/Rollins was good too with Sami selling the ankle. The direction seems very bland, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well what do you expect. It's not like they're having a "series of matches" though. It's not like every wrestling show and angle in the history of the world is "a series of matches." I know we all kind of know the answer to this...but seriously WTF if wrong with Vince McMahon, guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I kind of thought people would be more annoyed that it took 10 minutes of going for stupid power moves before Seth had the sudden and novel idea to work the ankle for half a second.

Curt McGirt Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 That's what makes me wonder if they were actually calling it on the fly from a real injury. It's probably just Rollins wanting to get his shit in though. Nice heel hook when he finally got it hooked in though. I bet Sheamus/Cesaro got cut because they can't have FIVE long-ish actual wrestling matches on a three hour show. This is WWE we're talking about. EDIT: Bayley/Dana too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a weird thing though. So they wanted us to think he was legit hurt. So then to keep that illusion we're supposed to think Seth is wrestling to protect him rather than working as a heel to take advantage. So we're cheering for the "worker" Sami continuing the match, not the character Sami continuing the match? And Seth's new gimmick is not a heel who hurts people, but a shitty worker who gets pushed because other people get hurt? Man, if that's the deal, they are out IWC-ing the IWC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Is Daniel Bryan the most incompetent GM in history? Somehow Bayley, Nakamura and Asuka are all going to end up signing with RAW while he's signing restoration projects like Mahal and Curt Hawkins. what the fuck dude.. That fatal four way. Man, I think I would have just had Jericho go on a title run. He's one of the best characters going and gets the reactions he wants every single time. So great. Out of the guys in there I guess I'd go with Owens. Rollins as a heel, no. Reigns as a face, hell no. Big Cass, fuck no. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
