RAW IS JOE'S GONNA KILL YOU - 1/30/17


Dolfan in NYC

Recommended Posts

I'm so confused right now. Joe's debut was fucking awesome, yet at the same time I'm totally disappointed Joe seemingly won't be on SDL and facing Cena at Wrestlemania. Also this whole feud with HHH and Seth is so weird now because Seth was dropping sleazebag heel comments with Steph earlier, and HHH totally pushed himself as the decent guy in this until he unleashed Joe on Seth. Meanwhile Steph is still so damn hateable.

Strowman/Owens was surprisingly good. Roman interfered as I expected though I'm kind of disappointed he didn't just completely try to maul Strowman with chairs and shit. I want the savage murderer who took out HHH & the League of Nations again. Is that too much to ask?

Thinking about this I also realize now that Joe & Roman are on the same show, and that I totally want a massive brawl between the two along with an eventual team up of Samoan badasses.

The rest of this show wasn't bad. I dug the six-person tag and backstage segment before it. Nia trying to cripple Sasha was great. And the tornado tag was pretty fun. I'm also happy to see Zayn with a good victory over Jericho.

Seth Rollins was 30 Years Old. 

All donations in his memory can be sent to the Shield The Children fund.

That takedown into the Kokina Clutch didn't do Seth's neck any favors.

I sure hope that the book doesn't expect me to boo Joe because Seth is allegedly a face now.

Braun is not quite there but he's getting closer....   he's really fucking good on the mic too.  And he's smart. He setup Owens a month ago.  He annihilated Jericho before this match started. He's been so perfectly booked I'm ready for them to just make dude the fucking champion. 

Which means they'll probably wait too long to do it.

Someone finally figured out how to book Nia Jax.  I dig her new Tequla Sunrise thingie submission hold although I think that the only woman crazy, stupid, or brave enough to take that move would be Sasha.

Sasha also intends to walk with Steve Austin-esque knee braces for the rest of her life as she also apparently signed up to get rag dolled legs first into the corner post.

This Captain Ahab angle where Sasha is determined to beat Nia at all costs is interesting, but It would have a bit more punch if Nia had amassed a decent body count and had some aura of invincibility.  We already know that there is a Smaug The Golden sized hole in Nia's dragon scales.

Fuck him up, Joe. Fuck him up.

"The slender and confused fawn tries to struggle. But once enveloped in the thick muscle-lined vertebrae of the Samoa Constrictor it is just a matter of time and a surrender to the darkness is inevitable. Its final breaths will be short and weak. The light vanishes from its eyes and the rest is sleep. A blessed sleep given the long and acidic process of digestion to follow.

next up on Nat Geo Wild, a foolish injured swan with a broken leg attempts to do defend its nest from a Nia Jaxigator. Viewer discretion is advised."

Well done, @piranesi.

so all things considered, Braun is going to be lost in the Mania shuffle.

Winning the Andre trophy seems a little beneath him at this point. the Zayn stuff has probably run its course and you've got three big guy matches on the card already.

It's not so much that the Andre trophy is beneath Braun as it is that he's a guy that can elevate the importance of the Andre trophy. 

I'm not crazy about the battle royal format for the Andre trophy even though Andre earned his fame by winning them. 

The Royal Rumble already has a battle royal format and gets its own PPV while the Andre Memorial BR is just one match in a wider Wrestlemania, so the importance of the trophy gets lost in the sauce.

I'd rather see it be awarded to the winner of a Round Robin tournament on PPV.  It could be WWE's version of the G1 Climax.

So Seth was already not really the babyface in this.  He is the whiniest twat of a character I've seen since Richard Thornburg in DIE HARD.  I was essentially on HHH's side that entire promo as he wrapped himself in NXT. And double that when Seth went with "I can tell when you look at me" to Stephanie.  Literal twat behavior.

But then, watching Joe swallow him was such a joy and I want to see him do it as a prelude to every match on every show. Watching Joe ingest him was as satisfying as seeing any heel get their comeupance after months of shit-talking.  But somehow I'm supposed to cheer him?

Jesus, not sure if you are talking about wrestling or porn. Either way, I'm intrigued.

It's Samoa goddamn Joe. The one motherfucker who will not put up with Seth Rollins' worst tendencies in a match because it looks cool. Joe fucks people up to make you sell. He ain't with that fancy bullshit that Seth Rollins and his ilk are on everytime they wrestle a goddamn match. He set Finn Balor straight and toned down Balor's worst tendencies.He can do the same for Seth because this flippy sloppy motherfucker gives the style of wrestlers I like a bad name.

What he said.  I honestly believe that Joe is in there because this is the beginning of the "So You Like To Work Stiff And Sloppy? Okay, Mother Fucker." chapter of Seth's career and Joe is in there to stretch... er.... reel Seth in.

It is not quite the toughest of tough love scenarios, though.  Let's not forget that Braun is on the roster.

Meanwhile Steph is still so damn hateable.

She could feud with Jared Fogle and it would still take a few minutes to take a side. 

"What was he charged with? How much was on his hard drive? He did what in the Philippines!?! Okay Steph, you're our girl."

Yep, that was a great HHH promo. His reasoning totally made sense too.

It was a perfect blend of mostly reasonable (he did give Seth everything! Seth did blow it against Dean and Finn!) with a touch of crazy (how dare he get hurt! That's spitting right in my face!) heel delusional.

After watching the Joe thing on WWE's Youtube, I have to say I'm unimpressed. The crowd sounded flat and Joe should have probably Muscle Busted him to the depths of Hell before sinking in the Kokina (which didn't look very good either, it just looked like he put on a basic sleeper. And don't run in wearing a Tapout shirt and jeans dammit). Yet, though the clip didn't have Seth talking, I still wanted him taken out just by looking at him, and Aytch came out good when he was talking so it's about even.

Well, it's Laredo, half the people there drink out of a dribble cup. 

Although I can't say I like Joe's chances for success on the same show as Vince's pets Reigns and Strowman. I've no doubt he'll be jobbing to both fairly quickly and working some mid-card feud with Enzo and Cass in about six months.
