Why? It's like using your power-up in a video game. You gotta wait a while for it to charge to use it up again. Finn used it all up. Now he's gotta wait a few weeks. I only saw clips after the fact but this is the first RAW all year that makes me want to watch next week's show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to make sure we have all nerd bases covered, it is also like using a spell slot and you need a long rest and to buy some paper and diamonds before you can use it again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Raw Is...Feuds You Were Tired of Three Weeks Ago! -Corbin-Balor seems like it’s stii going on, probably with Corbin messing with him as GM now -The Riot Squad vs Hug, Boss, Ember has been going for so long in one variation or another that Ruby had time to start the feud, get injured, heal up, and return with NOTHING having really developed. -Revival/B-Team? Oh yeah still going. -Dolph/Drew-Rollins and friend. Still going. -Ronda-Steph/Alexa. Seems like it’s still a thing. -And of course the interminable AOP-Titus Worldwide feud goes on but with the shocking development of Dana finding a flaw that didn’t turn into anything at all. Man I really was hoping Seth was going to clothesline Roman to form a new unbeatable Shield of Braun, Dean and Rollins with Reigns recruiting the AOP as his back-up. I’d also like to add that it’s a real gutsy move to have 20+ minutes of your first post-Summerslam half hour of Raw with a guy who got squashed in like two minutes last night. When the crowd is chanting “Boring” in your first match of the night, someone did not plan appropriately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The crowd going Dead. Silent. for the opening match was a hoot. They just could not be arsed at all. The women's tag and -- amazed I'm saying this -- the Ambrose/Ziggler match were really good. Also that crazy fast fireman's carry from one of the Albanians which even the commentary team marked out for. We could all really do without self-congratulatory HHH and queen bitch Steph getting mic time ever again though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The Demon is Finn going Super Saiyan 3 and it eats stamina like a motherfucker. Also the title match was short notice and it takes forever to prepare, both physically and mentally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Green Meanie Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I'm super disappointed with the Shield return. They had a golden opportunity right there to turn on Roman and didn't take it. That would have been wrestling gold, I tell you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always kinf of dumb to bring all the women out like that anyway. They don't bring out Lashley and Braun and have them stand around for nothing so why do it with the females. Plus it felt disingenuous having a segment where Ronda is simultaneously trumpeted as a huge star 9all those newspapers!) and also tries to present herself as someone who considers herself just like any of the other women.

Greggulator Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I will always mark when I heard SIERRA! HOTEL! INDIGO! Their initial run was the WWE at its peak. Every week was a guaranteed 20-minute thriller. I loved how the were always going to win - as they should - but the puzzle as to how they would do so would constantly change. They had their trademark spots, but everything was so different. They should just keep those guys together forever. Especially for Roman. Roman in The Shield was so incredibly over. That Royal Rumble where he set the record? That Survivor Series where he beat everyone? The buzz when he was the last one standing for The Shield against The Wyatts? I love all three of those dudes, but they will always be The Shied. It was also a great callback to their debut, when they tossed Ryback through the table (and then made him their personal chewtoy until he ended up selling nutritional supplements for a living). Would really be into seeing I would love it if they could just pair Bray up with The Bludgeon Brothers and brought The New Day over and have The Balor Club form for real and put someone cool with The Bar (Ohno?) or give KO and Sami a third wheel or etc. The other thing with all the six-man stuff: It makes three hours on Monday a lot easier to fill. It doesn't have to be 3X3 evey week. Tags can split (like Seth/Roman vs. The Rhodes Brothers) and the like. It all just chews up time with quality matches that can build off of each other. So much of Daniel Bryan's rise came because he was such an incredible hot tag in any of the few dozen matches he had against The Shield. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamBroken Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Thankful for the Shield. As for the Demon.... I took it as being a special SummerSlam thing since he's done it every year there if I remember right since 2016. That or Corbin beat him clean in their last match that went 20 minutes on Raw so that's why he felt he had to bust it out for that match of all matches. I loved the HHH promo. So much hype.

I thought to myself "this has been going for like two months", so I looked it up and sure enough, June 25 RAW, The Riott Squad defeated Ember, Sasha, and Bayley. It also took place on June 4 which seems to be when the 'feud' started. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
