Dolfan in NYC Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Honestly, Goldust turning was maybe the most consequential thing on the least consequential show in months. What a friggin' slog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Nonsensical turn. A something on a pole match on the horizon. I ... fear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Fun night of impersonations. If you ever wanted to see Sasha do a Noam Dar taunt or Titus do an Enzo taunt, tonight was your night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I hope Goldust is getting one last run and it's not a feud with R-Truth. Finn vs. Roman was really good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I'm glad Interview with the Vampire and Reservoir Dogs were on back to back at the same time as Raw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Comedian Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Yeah I didn't watch it either but I checked the results and ROFLZ... like, sorry Finn, but Roman's not on punishment any more... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Was that Balor's first one on one loss on the MR? They really didn't seem to think it was a big deal if it was. The announcers treated him like an underdog against an injured Reigns when he already has a clean win over a healthy Roman. Didn't watch anything else, but for it being around the two hour mark that crowd was surprisingly not dead by average Raw standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Roman's Blue Thunder sitdown power bomb on Finn was fantastic. Reigns/Balor could be built for a long-simmering feud if they only meet up every few months like this. They need to go full speed ahead with Titus O'Neil as WWE's answer to LaVar Ball. I need Titus Brand sneakers ASAP! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 More excellent Alexa Bliss mic work. Nice win for Alicia Fox. Crowd was hot for Dean/Miz, then crapped on the cruiserweights, then got going again for Reigns/Balor which was pretty good. Titus was rather amusing tonight. Also loved Angle in all of his segments. Very sad to see the end of the Golden Truth, always loved their tag remix entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Someone with some knowledge of New Jersey should have written some better material for Alexa, like something about our rampant heroin epidemic, but that's far too risque for WWE in 2017. If we had this problem during the attitude era, Vic Grimes might have been selling dope. https://patch.com/new-jersey/newarknj/46-arrested-major-n-j-heroin-guns-bust BTW, the regional medical examiner's building in Newark is one of the foulest smelling places I've ever been. It's as bad as I was warned before the first time I went there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I enjoyed this show. Finn-Reigns was fun. Loved Goldust turning on Truth. Especially the guy in the front row who flat-out SCREAMED "WHY GOLDUST WHY?" I also like that they finally decided that instead of Apollo Crews accidentally aligning himself with Titus that he finally decided he liked Titus - or at least preferred him to Enzo - and gave him some actual direction. His impression of Enzo made me laugh, too. Still, this show is rapidly turning into the Alexa Bliss show. She's that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should show Vince a few clips of Lavar Ball and be like "this is what Titus needs to do". I mean come on, the Titus Brand Shoe would be amazing. I have to hand it to the WWE. They have successfully killed any interest I had in Seth Rollins. He is a terrible babyface and putting him in a match with Wyatt. I didn't stick around to watch that. At least Balor/Reigns was on at 10pm. That was a good match despite the whole "put way too much sympathy heat on Roman with his injury's" thing. We get it...blah blah blah overcoming odds. And Alexa, there's so much material on New Jersey. I mean hell, she could have done a whole thing on Newark alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 By the way, Sasha and Alicia Fox had another solid little match, they need like 10-12 minutes on this shitty PPV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Sasha/Fox was fun while it lasted. Dug the Alexa/Bayley segment. I skipped the actual Cass/Titus match though I surprisingly enjoyed the pre & post match segments. Cass not even giving a fuck about Apollo striking Enzo post match for his shenanigans was amusing, like even Cass thought Enzo had that coming. Miz/Dean was solid and got good reactions from the crowd. I dug the finish. Roman/Finn was so good once again. I thought the show was decent.

Niners Fan in CT Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Roman might be Finn's best dance partner ever. Still think it was ridiculous to have it as a throw away rematch and have a clean finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Also, I'm gonna miss Booker when Otunga comes back. I love when Booker kinda grunts out "MMMM!" whenever someone gets hit with a hard shot, it does way more to get a move over than Michael Cole going "Oh my!" Also, Booker says at least one perplexing thing per show that just makes the rest of the announcers laugh, like tonight when he said something about "We're in New York..." and both Cole and Graves called him on it and he said "Eh, New York, New Jersey, same thing." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of all the responses THAT could have engendered, Cole randomly name-drops Cory Booker (which is double weird given his co- broadcasters are named Corey and Booker) that fell flatter than roadkill on the turnpike.

RIPPA Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I like how the WON recapper couldn't figure out why Apollo attacked Enzo. Clearly he is not familiar with Occam's Razor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 So has anyone else noticed Cass is clearly better on the mic than Enzo? Had a fever most of the night and had forgotten wrestling was on. Was surprised they turned Goldust heel. Think Truth should have fought back some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
