Niners Fan in CT 15,602 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 A classic Jericho/KO segment and a tremendous women's championship match. 9 Link to post Share on other sites
Dolfan in NYC 17,524 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 "How come my name's on this?" I knew what was coming and I still gasped. That fucking ruled, so hard. God FUCKING damn it, Jericho-Owens at Mania better be fore the Universal Championship. In other news, I guess Sami is taking the "Murder by Joe" slot and Bayley earns the "Jobbing the title back to Charlotte" slot at Payback 6 Link to post Share on other sites
Fallacy! 1,059 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I usually skip through the women's matches, but is Bayley's finisher seriously a belly-to-belly suplex? A match that includes a top rope frankensteiner and standing moonsault off the guardrail, ends in a fucking BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

MGFanJay 644 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 NO ONE CAN EVER HATE FRIENDSHIP! That was the best segment in ages. http://insidepulse.com/2017/02/13/monday-night-raw-21317-recap-festival-of-friendship-and-bayley-vs-charlotte-flair/ Link to post Share on other sites
Peck 5,578 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Inevitable but still heartbreaking. Loved the Gillberg cameo. 17 weeks for Emmalina just to eventually cut a promo about how she isn't a pinup model and is a wrestler? So Bayley eventually sees how she won the title and that plants the seeds for Sasha turn/involvement at Mania, right? Link to post Share on other sites
Niners Fan in CT 15,602 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 @Dolfan in NYC what does that text mean lol So I have to assume Triple H showed up tonight to tell Owens "Look, Goldberg is a different animal. It's time to get fucking serious. I need the OLD KEVIN OWENS." Link to post Share on other sites

Rehabilitated Rick 1,917 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 @Fallacy! um.. yeah and it's awesome. The last hour might have been one of the greatest hours in Raw history. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
HumanChessgame 2,711 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 "It's art, you don't need pants" I expected that segment to be one of those tedious bits that The Rock would have but it ended up being one of the funnier skits they've done. Good match and a nice moment for Bayley, shame she's going to lose the belt back on the ppv. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I was really hoping she would start down the ramp and trip and suddenly be Emma again and have to start all over. Like human psychology works the same way it does in Jerry Lewis movies. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Niners Fan in CT 15,602 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 I loved the hell out of the women's match and that ending was so perfect. A huge pop for Sasha making the save and then a huge pop for Bayley's win. Now Sasha probably plays the "you're only champion because of me" card. But it protected Bayley too because she had the match won before Dana's interference. How was RAW booked so perfectly tonight? 3 Link to post Share on other sites
steve 1,028 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Jericho's silly dancing at the start of that segment was great, on the level of this: 3 Link to post Share on other sites
hammerva 5,147 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Can't believe they are going to do the "Charlotte loses on RAW wins it back on the PPV" thing AGAIN. Such an amazingly tired act I really hope that Goldberg is winning the title at the next PPV because as well as that angle was tonight the idea of Jericho AND Orton winning a title at Wrestlemania is such bullshit Link to post Share on other sites
piranesi 15,917 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Normally I'm annoyed when a babyface wins through cheating, but Charlotte wrestled that match as such a great shit heel that it was satisfying the same way it was when her dad would lose that way. Good on her! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Hagan 1,549 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Great main event. Charlotte is the best heel champion they've booked in a decade. I'm starting to think the endgame is her main eventing a major PPV and finally losing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Craig H 14,725 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hulk Hogan's finisher was a leg drop. For a time, the Rock used the People's Elbow. A belly to belly suplex is just fine as a finisher. Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, yeah, but Magnum beat Arn once with an atomic drop too. Sooo, it was a different time. Nowadays these are moves that you see in the first minute or two of a match. His opponents certainly weren't kicking out of tope rope frankensteiners before he finally knocked them senseless with a devastating belly-to-belly. Link to post Share on other sites
Niners Fan in CT 15,602 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 The finish actually reminded me of Worcester, Mass. Foley's first title win. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Rehabilitated Rick 1,917 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Out of all the things to moan about Bayley's finishing move that she's established for years isn't one, it's one move in Bayley's arsenal that looks the most impactful, plus she executes it really well too, such a weird thing to complain about. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Nice Guy Eddie 22,148 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Those were some king sized beatings that Joe and KO dished out. I'm on board for JeriKO exploding at WM. Can you blame Owens? Jericho offered the title shot to Goldberg. Corey's Pantera reference- "5 Minutes Alone" 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Hagan 1,549 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 The belly-to-belly was good enough for the Franchise of ECW to fell all challengers as well. Him taking out Bam Bam in his hometown one of the great ECW moments. Also, as noted by all astute commentators...it's the application of the move that mattered. Remember when WCW guys would do big boots and legs and not get the 1,2,3? Hogan knew how to do it. This is why Okada can kill men with a short arm clothesline. I have no doubt that Bayley applies the Bayley-to-Belly hugplex with the skill and impact needed to get the duke. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
