Dolfan in NYC Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I sincerely doubt they're going to give Dallas & Axel the tag straps, but still good for them for making the PPV card. Also, Braun broke a ladder in twain with his bare hands. All other considerations are secondary. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rows Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 So all the faces in that womens tag come off as pretty dumb. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ray Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 My pick for thread title would have been Istanbul (not Constable Baron). And I got so worn down by the Nia-Ronda, Sami-Lashley and Roman/Jinder segments, I decided the dishes weren't going to do themselves. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Maybe the AoP show up at MITB after the tag match and we pretend it's their main roster debut? I'm looking forward to next week when Constable Corbin awards the match to the Riott Squad due to Bayley's interference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously undone household chores are grateful for Raw's vast amount of filler. That said, Constable Corbin could be amusing. They may as well have Roman become Kurt's lackey and have CONSTABLE CORBIN vs DEPUTY BIG DAWG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I've found that now that I'm able to watch Raw again, even when they do have matches I still only half pay attention to them. And like all the talking, they mostly remain on mute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Green Meanie Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 My goodness Otunga was a breath of fresh air tonight. I really enjoyed the Braun/Bob Roode match and that ladder spot was just fantastic. Totally called the B-Team win but I'm a little bummed it came at the expense of Slater/Rhyno. I am a highly disappointed in my hometown tonight, however. That crowd sounded like a Dallas crowd, dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 It's hard to believe how they have pretty much the best roster in history yet still put out such a snoozefest of a weekly show. Poor Revival. I hope the rumors of them going back to NXT are true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Braun/Roode was fun for the ladder smash and Roode's perfect reaction. The women's match was fun though the stuff following it less so since it made everyone look stupid. I do like Constable Corbin I honestly skipped past most of Jinder/Roman, Ronda/Nia, and all of Sami/Lashley. I dislike one of them per say (closer to apathy with Jinder and Lashley), they just aren't interesting the way they are handled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But without Ronda/Nia, how would we know only Ronda's husband can call her ripe for the picking? Seriously- you use the same line, twice, on commentary, that's bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering how what the bar is for who can fill that third seat and not be better than Coach. Booker is great on his own, but when he replaces Coach he sounds like an all-timer. Otunga is bad, but holy shit is he better then Coach. How low does it go? Mark Madden? Mongo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach is on the all-time shit list with Art Donovan, Mark Madden, Mike Adamle, Mongo, Eric Bischoff, Todd Grisham, Rob Bartlett, and Todd Pettengill. Those are just the ones that immediately came to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green Meanie Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Coach is probably the worst minus Rod Bartlett. I'd still take the others in that list over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 The Revival will never work on Raw. They're way too 'rasslin for Vince. At least on Smackdown, they'd have New Day, Bludgeon Brothers, Usos, Gallows & Anderson, The Bar, and Sanity (eventually) to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BNosanchuk Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 That Lashley/ Zayn segment was brutal, especially most of Lashley's delivery. I have no clue what Zayn's point is, but watching him just walk all through the arena was amusing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach is terrible but as someone who watched every minute of WCW-era Mark Madden, I don't know if I can go that far. I watched about ten minutes of Raw during the Game 4 intermission and was startled at how it still managed to be slightly shittier than I was expecting. I hope one of the jurors in the Punk trial watched that Nattie segment and went "They're still not taking injuries seriously! That poor woman got hurt and they sent Ronda Rousey and a ref out to help her and no one thought to call an EMT!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I know we all like to joke about what a disaster TNA was and how incompetent Dixie and her staff were, but TNA was able to use Lashley properly (minus the stuff with America's Top Team). He was perfect as "The Destroyer". Lashley doesn't need to be cutting promos revolving around his family. Come in, destroy somebody, leave. Like Paul E. said, accentuate the positive and hide the negative. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
