Phantom Lord Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I kinda thought Bayley was about to hand over the belt but not let go and next thing you know she pulls Steph in for a Bayley to Belly. But, we wouldn't want someone getting one over on the Princess and stuff. Had that happened though I think the roof would have blown off. It was so dumb when Steph was all "you can't beat Charlotte" to Sasha. I guess in the world of the WWE, only title wins on PPV count now. Braun vs. Big Show is a feud I want to continue now. The hell with Big show vs. Shaq. Give these two a match at Wrestlemania. Someone who knows Braun or what ever must read this board. I keep saying he's the new Sid Vicious and last night he busts out a kip up like Sid. When Show kept going to the corn to set up for the Vader bomb I was like "please Braun get him up for the powerbomb". They're sticking with that powerslam. I mean it works, but a guy like Braun should be dropping dudes from up top. That missile drop kick to counter the spear was a thing of beauty though. I jumped up for that. I never thought I would love Braun, but man Braun is so awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 What would Steph defeating Bayley serve? Keep her strong for a match against Ronda Rousey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Why does Stephanie need to be strong she is not over or a draw. The crap with the Bellas showed she is never putting anyone over. She will go in and work an armbar, thinking that is what wrestling is. If she has a match she should, Act terrified Bump around Throw powder in the other persons face to get some fluke offense. Eat a finisher Never be seen again, sign contract promising children will never join business. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 That was the best episode of Raw in years. Strong opening promo from KO. He's in top form right now. The opening tag was really good, probably the best Enzo/Cass match ever. Sheamus and Cesaro were so smooth in dismantling their opponents, and Enzo was used exactly like he should be. He got his ass kicked, stumbled around, provided just enough of a distraction for Cass to get the win, talked shit like he did all the work, then got kicked in the face again. Really strong match with some good characterization and teamwork we haven't seen on the main roster in a while. The negative reactions to Enzo might be cause for alarm if they continue against non-Cesaro opponents, though. Kendrick/Tozawa is a fine match, but would've bloated this show. Smart just to do a quick beatdown and leave the payoff open. The ND segment was perfectly acceptable comedy filler. It helped that the crowd gave them right reactions. Tremendous crowd all night. Bayley and Sasha stood up to Steph about as much as anyone ever gets to stand up to her, so good for them. They should've hammered home how much Charlotte cheats to win and Dana interfering first to make it more face-y, but the crowd still helped it out. Then they went to one of Raw's most reliable good match pairings with Sasha and Charlotte. Unsurprisingly, they had another good match. The KO/Sami segment was another well written one. While a full match would've undoubtedly been good as Raw's other most reliable pairing, it would've bloated the show as well. Joe delivered another quality beatdown and KO gleefully picking the bones made for a good segment that didn't detract from the rest of the show. The Heyman promo with Brock mugging for the camera was a nice dynamic. The Braun/Show match was built very effectively and felt like a big deal even though Show is about a month from retirement. Braun showed he could work and Show did enough to make the put-over mean something. Beating Roman down after the grueling match cemented Braun as a beast. I know I'm going to fucking hate Fast Lane so much because despite all their missteps to this point, WWE has two stars in the making with KO and Strowman right now and they're going to job to 50yo with a handful of appearances left and a guy they've failed to get over for 2 years straight respectively. Such a waste. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Braun should still bust out that elevated sleeper and just rag doll people once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This weeks Hulu version had some annoying edits, no Enzo and Cass intro, no build to the Club vs Roman rematch, and why arent the New Day on the show? But holy shit was Big Show vs Braun really good. MOTYC for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of it. At all. I like Enzo and Cass' intro's its part of their shtick. And no cruiser stuff what so ever. Besides the contract signing. But no matches.

Victator Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Watching Braun/Show and I was going to compare it to Roadblock vs Giant in WCW and remembered Giant and Big Show were the same person. Like sands in the hour glass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 That KO promo was a really great homage to the legendary Eddie promo where he screams at Rey's mask with the whole chair/dark arena motif. But KO and Eddie also do such a great job with eye acting. They both manage to look completely dead inside and absolute psychopaths. Amazing promo from KO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReiseReise Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Right now, the job done with Strowman is amazing. However, with how much he got with Reigns so far, it would be weird seeing him go over at Fastlane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
