Niners Fan in CT Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Undertaker announced he's in the Rumble. Jericho won the U.S. title. BUT RUSEV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Even better that Rusev nearly broke character and started laughing Horatio Sanz-style. That New Day/O'Neil segment may have been a Top-5 worst Raw segment ever for me. Just brutal to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 How did Taker look in that segment? I saw him on a live-feed of the post-Raw segment and he looked like both his knees and hips were welded in place and he just sort of rocked from side to side until he got to the ring.

Well if the plan of Wrestlemania is him versus Braun Strowman then having his hips welded in place might be his only hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taker just doesn't do anything for me anymore. His entrance is still kinda cool but his promos aren't anything great and, to me, he's just lost that special aura. On a semi-serious side note, can he even take a bump over the top anymore or is he locked in to a Rumble win Iron Sheik-style? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The show felt like it was going to be OK in the first hour--and then the HBK segment happened. Good gravy, was that bad. Rusev tried to save it, but no going. Pretty sure Cass botched his finisher, too. Stephanie had a bug up her ass tonight. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 God damn am I tired of there having to be several segments where Stephanie has to make sure everyone remembers she's the one in charge. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting a sinking feeling now of Taker winning the Rumble and Cena winning the title from AJ setting up a Taker/Cena main event. I mean if they want to ensure Mania is even worse than last year's I guess that's one way to go about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 I forgot about the Stephanie bullshit. Her being about 7-feet tall and scolding Sasha and Bayley was the worst shit I've seen in a while. It was way worse than the New Day and Titus segment because Titus is a guy who, right or wrong, they just are never going to use outside of poorly written comedy segments. Sasha and Bayley are supposed to be the face of the women's division and Stephanie is in there acting like that. Neither one of them will ever get to beat the crap out of her either.

zev Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Remember when it was a huge deal that they brought in Gallows and Anderson? And the night they called up Bayley, oh how amazing it was that Bayley was on RAW? The folks that run the show now don't seem to remember. But that's okay because HBK and Taker are still around to pop the ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I doubt anyone would pop the ratings vs a national champ cfb game, even Vince or zAustin or Dwayne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 If the ratings are disastrous, they'll blame the football game. If the ratings are only slightly awful, they'll say "see it's good that we have Stephanie on a lot and brought back some Attitude stars for the night.

Phantom Lord Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I missed half the show. Glad I saw The Undertaker, but man Stephanie and her whole emasculation thing over every man in the company thing needs to really stop. Poor Mick just standing there. I mean I feel sorry for him normally cause he's a shell of his former self, but when she was ripping into him for The Undertaker not being there at first I'm like "Jesus Mick, just tell her to stuff it". I thought they were supposed to be equals or something when this all started... HA. Why is that New Day/Titus thing that should be on Main Event getting so much time on RAW? God, what a bad angle. It might be interesting if anyone gave a shit about Titus in 2017. On the plus side I'm glad the whole Roman as US Champion thing is over. I was tired of seeing him carry the title like a cave man. Title plate in the front Roman. Did anyone see how Jericho got busted open though? Must of been from one of Roman's punches. Once minute he's fine and the next he was split open. I'm hoping for a Rumble miracle and Roman doesn't beat Owens for the title. That will just deflate the building if that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are just stuck with Steph doing this crap every week for the next 35 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 So, nobody bothered by Bulgarian Chickenshit Heel Rusev ducking a fight and feeding his buddy Jinder to Cass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I watched it up to the HBK-Rusev promo and subsequent Jinder-Cass match and DVRed the rest of the show. Someone convince me (Show your work!) that I should watch the rest of it and not delete it, sight-unseen. Also, factor in that I have limited space on my DVR and Smackdown, NJPW and Hell's Kitchen airing over the next three nights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
