I mean, it's walking distance from the Hammerstein to MSG. Neither It's more that Vince no longer likes doing TV from MSG Part of it is because he still likes to make a big deal out of the MSG house show (which also only like two weeks ago - another reason they aren't doing MSG for RAW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilwaldo Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I hope WWE changes the name for obvious reasons. In other news, an hour ago on Instagram Chelsea Green (Laurel Van Ness) said that she has been granted her release from TNA. Let the speculation begin since she is dating Zach Ryder.

AJ needs a dance partner for Mania. Orton, unfortunately, probably won't get that spot two years in a row. Nakamura's not hot enough to merit the spot, thought he may still get it. But Finn finally has a bone to chew on, is getting more to do on TV, and the Club stuff would be very easy to rope AJ into. Plus you've got the intrigue of a rematch of their very good match at TLC, which Finn won. Finn wins the Rumble, jumps ship because Angle never gave him the title shot he deserved, convoluted explanation to move the Good Brothers, and we've got a story. I'm all for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they said you get a shot at your brand's title this year? They made sure to emphasize that last year strongly. Which is exactly what they did in 03 before moving a Rumble winning former Pegasus Kid to the other brand to challenge for the title in 04...

(BP) Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Come on Chester, they communicated so much just by pointing at a sign and their dicks. It would normally take the average performer several semesters of Movements courses in a community arts program to pull that off. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Is there a diagram or flowchart or whatever they're called, showing what promotions begat or stemmed from other promotions? You know the type of charts, with a lot of solid lines, broken lines, etc., showing different relationships? I'd like to see one, out of sheer curiosity. Granted, if one doesn't exist ... guess I could add another art project on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 There was a lot of wink, wink, nudge, nudge between Graves and Rosenbeg about how "shocking" it was that it was on the list... and then they moved on after two seconds to get to more terrible bits and skits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I was surprised they included Punk. I figured they'd completely wash him out. Austin stunning McMahon should be #1. I remember the long build to that moment and even before it happened I didn't think they'd actually go there, and then they did. I lost my shit when that happened. When I think of Raw I think of that moment, the Pipe Bomb promo, Benoit and Jericho beating Austin and HHH (which they'll never acknowledge now), Foley winning the title, and Jericho's debut. So in that regard, I guess much of the top 10 they got right, but the beer truck is the most overrated shit. Bang 3:16, Austin invading Pillman's house, and Austin coming to save the WWE against the Alliance are all way better than the beer truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the last WWE moment that felt truly dangerous and off the rails. Of course, then the sponsors had to go and get pissed off over its non-PG-ness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
