Death From Above Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Not going to lie, I turned off RAW before the main event and felt that up to that point it was clearly the weakest of the ones I've watched since returning. My favourite moment was The Miz taking his life into his own hands by briefly talking shit to Rusev before realizing he wants to live. Seamus is also a much better promo than Triple H, so that part didn't totally suck either. Also the SEAMUS 5:15 shirt is classic pro wrestling.

Craig H Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Wait wait wait wait wait... So, I watched this shit show with the benefit of not seeing any commercials. So, it struck me as pretty odd that Tommy Dreamer would be brought in with how much of a mess his brain is when they're preventing DB from returning because of concussion issues. I figure that's your typical WWE bullshit. And then I see that TV spots for Concussion were airing DURING Raw? Are you shitting me? The movie where Dr. Maroon is the bad guy has ad time during Raw... That's pretty funny. I think it says a lot about how shitty WWE is too, but mainly, it's pretty damn funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick B. Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 There's no risk of Dreamer's popularity overshadowing that of their chosen top face (again). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The commercials for "Concussion" were aired during Thanksgiving football too. I hope you stopped in to the football threads to point out how shitty the NFL is too. Del Rio being put with the Euros seems overly forced. Pretty blah show from what I saw, but I was busy stopping fights with angry, diving, whining, fake-puking Latinos at soccer last night, so I will give this a full watch later on this week.

Go2Sleep Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 There was talent, it just wasn't used properly (if at all), or just didn't want to be there (in Del Rio's case) There were a bunch of guys who are alright (all those late 2000s guys), but did they have anyone who would've been a top 5 worker in any year from 2012-2014? Del Rio maybe? Again, seriously who was the best worker? Raw was no great shakes 4 months ago, but going from Rollins as the primary double-duty match guy to Roman and losing a reliable decent 10-minute match guy like Cesaro is still going to have a noticeable negative effect on the show.

Overly Critical Man Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 - Cena's off for X period of time, while Nikki is "on the DL"? Riiiiight .... Nikki has a severe neck injury that may require surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valcourt Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Foley said he liked last nights show... So there is that. I'm assuming he liked the fact there are 4 "tops" heels now... maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The League of Nations? Um, okay, I guess. So we're naming heel stables after defunct international organizations now? I await the arrival of the Prince Nana led OAU into Ring of Honor. Now that I think about it, I'd actually like to see that happen in RoH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyWhioux Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Also, that every evil russian who turned face after the collapse of the soviet union who magically became "Lithuanian" as part of their face turn were no more legit Lithuanian than they were legit Russian.

AxB Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 It makes perfect sense for the New Day to join the League of Nations. Kofi is from Ghana, and Xavier is from Georgia. Just pretend he's the from the Georgia with a Tblisi, and not the one with an Atlanta, and you're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, you assume I watch football, which I don't because I cut the cord, so I would have no idea those commercials were airing then. Second, what does it matter if I mentioned those commercials here? I read about them somewhere else and thought that was fairly crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Actually, on that note the one thing I miss about the European Championship is the gag representation of Europe from the bearer, i.e. D'Lo Brown's hometown changing weekly to Stockholm, Brussels, etc. and Al Snow's theme song lyrics getting translated into French or German (and his Titantron graphic becoming the most cliche imagry of each national culture).

The Man Known as Dan Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 The fact that ratings barely went up when the MNF game was fucking Baltimore/Cleveland when the previous week was New England/Denver makes me think it's actually a bad sign.
