piranesi Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 This Dr. Shelby was like the Jackie Mason/Robert Stack/Dan Ackroyd to the original Dr. Shelby's Rodney Dangerfield/Ted Knight/Bill Murray. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I blanked all that shit out. The only thing I recall from these three hours was Mr. Perfect's kid needing to shave his head and Nia Jax needing to work like Aja Kong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I kind of like what they're doing with Lashley and man did he look fucking huge next to Roman well he is fucking huge but the difference I hadn't noticed. Dr. Shelby stuff was irritating because they promised a therapy session and we got like maybe one segment with a few lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I was kinda hoping the port a potty was gonna get dumped onto the car. We know Vince loves anything with poop. The blue man group paint was amusing though. Braun should be Universal Champion now. Hell, he should be in the middle of his six month run as champion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousey was a rehash of Brock killing Michael Cole and Dr. Shelby was a rerun of Bryan and Kane. Blame the lack of creativity and original thought. Speaking of lame, not sure I've ever seen a more pitiful post-RAW forum. Two hours later and eight comments. Clearly FOX picked the right time to go all-in on that hot sports-entertainment market... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Watched and enjoyed Roman’s matches. Skipped everything else. Half an hour well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I'm digging all the stuff wit Roman. The therapy stuff was just kind of there. I feel like whoever decided to go this route forgot that Bryan and Kane were tag champs at the time and a comedy duo. There are no women's tag titles and Bayley/Sasha are ex-best friends opposed to a comedy team. This really just makes no sense. I like Titus Worldwide, but I did enjoy their destruction at the hand s of AOP. I'm enjoying the stuff with Mojo and No Way Jose. I continue to like Constable Corbin.

Sorry, I spent the evening listing stuff on eBay and tinkering with the layout of Vic's book; both activities being more interesting and productive than watching RAW. At least tomorrow we get that bastion of long-term plotting and nuance that is Smackdown Live, where I imagine some months back things went like this: "Mr. McMahon, Nakamura's ready for the main roster now, there's just a little problem with his English, his Japanese accent is really heavy, but he's the most popular wrestler in the world." "A Jap that doesn't speak English more popular than Roman? We can't have that... I've got it, let's have him do comedy spots! He'll say "No speak English!" and kick guys in the balls! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's hysterical! We can start printing money now! Forget this strong style stuff they're always going on about, the new style is kick you in the balls! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIShane Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Yeah. that was pretty poor. The Braun stuff at the end dragged (literally), and the therapy segments weren't near funny enough to justify that being the follow-up to Bayley's beatdown last week.

I don't think it's intentional sexism, but it makes Angle come off as such because it's literally what's happening on the screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it's funny now that you bring it up, but at that point in time (just before Nak's debut on the main roster), I'd have a helluva hard time saying who the most popular wrestler in the world was. Wasn't anyone from Japan, though Okada would be in the conversation, wouldn't have been Daniel Bryan, he was still on the shelf, do we defer back to Cena or do we just say that wrestling fandom was so fragmented that there wasn't a clear #1 then. Even more interestingly, is there a clear #1 now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodear Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Nakamura also proved to be super uneven and lazy as the day is long. I love the narrative that he should be rewarded for that with World Title reigns in order to motivate him. He's more effective now as the dick puncher but certainly should not have been rewarded for being mediocre. Meanwhile Roman is elevating five guys on one show. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just needs a hook like Rollins’ “Burn it Down” chant. Have they explained what Seth means by that yet? Burning down what? WWE? The source of all his income and fame?
