Vgmastr Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 We did get a 15 man gimmick battle royal on Raw 15, so doing a 25 man for Raw 25 would be an easy way to get most of the guys on the show without taking up too much time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Apparently Mantaur was/is involved in a class action against WWE so doubt it. I'm not sure the gimmick battle royale is ever a good idea. Best just for them to do their schtick and have Ron Simmons say 'Damn!' either backstage or on the Highlight Reel or something.

Too bad Mike Shaw is dead b/c he could enter the battle royal as Bastion Booger, go to the back and then come back as Friar Ferguson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 The Battle Royal would have been over before he took his boots off. I forgot that The Revival are likely to be the patsys for some old timers. That worked out well for The Ascension lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyLaw Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Does any one have Hulu Live? Am I able to DVR Raw, or do they stick me with the 90 minute version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate when this company puts fucking nostalgia acts over at the expense of the current roster. I'll never understand some fans desire to have stars of yesteryear, who are obviously not what they used to be have another run. People want nostalgia? WWE has whole a fucking network for nostalgia. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Yeah I'd rather see a 25th anniversary battle royal than the Revival eat a bunch of old dudes finishers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Or Revival taking apart some older teams to prove their the best. Interrupting the New Age Outlaws intro would be a big time heel move everywhere except my house. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORELOCK Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Everyone was bitching about it at the time, but the Outlaws and Kane getting squashed by the Shield at Mania made the Shield guys look like a million bucks and it definitely wouldn't have worked the same way with any of the full-time guys.

Web Conn Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Wait I just realised isn't Billy Gunn signed to New Japan? How is that gonna work out. Revival vs New Age Outlaws with evival going over would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The only problem with the Shield match is that it should have taken place on Raw and not at Mania when they could have been involved in something that was actually competitive.

nate Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Is there a website with decent ongoing Raw live coverage? I usually rely on 411Mania by default, but Tony Acero's Chris Hyatte impersonator impersonator act and constant pronoun disagreement (in any match, there are at least three "him/he's" in the ring, ffs) makes my soul hurt.

The Shield Mania squash was exactly what it should have been. Older guys who aren't F/T that have lost several steps destroyed by the young guys at their peak.

WO's coverage isn't great shakes, too. I usually wait for Larry Csonka's recap or just get the HOT TAKES on twitter about shit. Should be a noteworthy show. Honestly, this is one of those nights where I don't think anyone needs 15 minute two-segment matches. I want angles, nostalgia and fast paced shit. Also, not even stating an opinion but anyone surprised that in our current climate regarding abuse against women that no one is surly about Austin being back in the fold? Seems like something that would piss off people. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
