Cobra Commander Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 anyways, I found out that the Better Call Saul season premiere was happening around the time that the Lie Detector segment ended, so I watched BCS for most of RAW tonight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Austin Theory or just Theory or just Austin or Stone Cold Steve Theory looks like a terrifying anime character in that photo. I turned on in time for the wedding, which was mostly ignored, put on mute, and entirely too long. Then the next thing is Cody's music and he's facing Owens so I paid attention. Kevin was big on Liger moves tonight. Then they shit all over the finish though it kinda worked too? Who cares, it's Raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamal Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Enjoyed the women's tag. If there's any team that is going to continue to come up with new combos to beat teams, it's going to be Naomi and Sasha. Also, good continuity move, having them be Tamina's bridesmaids. Unity!!! It's obvious that Rhea is being groomed for Bianca, which should be good. But we also will hopefully get a nice series with her and Liv in the meantime. I've never been as high on Alexa Bliss as many but also didn't think she was terrible either. My favorite Bliss is "face w/Nikki" Bliss and creepy Bliss when she's not no-selling Asuka. Having said that, it's crazy that creative can't find anything after investing in a whole storyline to bring her back. Plus, she always appeared a decent merch mover. I can already think of at least a dozen things to do with her character between brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 The U.S. title was the primary championship within the Mid-Atlantic territory until 1986. Now it's the main title for Raw. Cody however is above that title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I'm all for AEW signing more 'name' women's talent in general. He always says nice things about her in interviews. Apparently they share custody of some dogs (which is the most Caucasian sentence I’ll write today). Alexa’s not a great worker. Her value is in her star power. If I were TK, I’d be putting a pitch together for her that included Cody & Brandi’s time slot for Alexa and her d list husband. She could wrestle 12 times a year, do a reality show where she could parade all her and Ryan’s “I love the 90’s” music friends, and try to get her a scripted show on hbomax or something. Cross branding & shit. She’s being wasted on Vince & his lack of vision. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbarrie Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 So what prompted all this Alexa Bliss talk? Are they doing an angle implying she's out of WWE or something? As I mentioned in the video game folder, the latest patch for WWE 2K22 seems to have changed her name from "Alexa Bliss" to "Alexa Bliss '21", and I don't understand why.

There’s some persisting rumors that she’s unhappy it’s her lack of creative in wwe. I don’t think she’d actually go to AEW, but they could sure use her. The above post is how I’d get her there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAN Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Sarray versus Tiffany Stratton was good considering how green Stratton is. She's already pretty good. Grayson Waller takes fifteen Beel Manouvers and we all rejoice. Waller takes an assbeating from Sanga like a CHAMP! Hey! It's the former ROK-C, Roxanne Perez! Drake and Gibson are the Grizzled Young Veterans and they are old fashioned Southern heels. Legado del Fantasmo are a wacky Rock and Roll Express. That was a crazy little match. Santos Escobar and Carmelo Hayes are wearing the same pants! This match is good. They gave this a lot of time and told a story about Hayes ruining his back. Escobar has some great offense. Fuckery allows Hayes to hit a giant toprope legdrop. That was good. The finish was cheap but everything before and after was solid. Natalya kills Tatum Paxley who bridges the gap between Chelsea Green and Britt Baker in looking exactly alike. Natalya is fucking awesome. She gives Paxley waaay too much but she is old school. Man, there is a lot of wrestling on this show tonight. Xyon Quinn is impressive. That finish was fucking GNARLEY. Oh awesome- Roxanne Perez versus Jacey Jayne. Roxanne is tiny compared to Toxic Attraction. Roxanne wins by Wendy Choo fuckery! Next week, Roxanne beats Gigi Dolin! Prolly! YES! PRETTY DEADLY! Man, I love the Adrian Street blouses. It's against the two guys who make out competitively with their ladies. Lumis and Hudson are all about wrecking the buttholes of Pretty Deadly. Lumis and Hudson don't want these goodlookin' British dudes around their women, with their fancy accents and fancy dandy clothes! Hudson is a fun house a-fire! There are a bunch of HOT NEARFALLS! Finish was slightly anti-climatic but that was good. We are working towards a match with the Creed Brothers and that will rule. That was a good two hours of wrestling. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Sarray/Stratton was Stratton's best match so far. Pity Sarray lost. Legado vs. GYV was short but so good. Escobar/Hayes was pretty solid even with Hayes being off a few times. Waller/Sanga was fun for Sanga tossing Waller all over the ring. Nattie/Paxley was pretty nice. I like Nattie basically admitting she is coming to take out the future of the women's division before they endanger her spot on the main roster. Might be too early to say, but I kind of wonder if we are getting modified, normal wrestling version of Stop the Matsunaga here. Very curious to see what Nattie does with Nikita Lyons in the coming weeks. Jacy/Roxanne was a nice showcase for Roxanne even with the fuckery finish. Never saw Roxanne wrestle as ROK-C, but I like what I see so far. Pretty Deadly vs. Lumis/Hudson was solid stuff and a better look at what Pretty Deadly bring to the table. They are nice little team. Definitely want to see them vs. the Creeds in normal tag for the belts. Hudson and Lumis worked alright together. I like that they weren't doing the expected bickering and just trying to win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Only saw the first bit but, man, did Sarry DESTROY Statton with that diving dropick into the ropes! Vic was audibly worried for Stratton after that one. Pretty stiff little match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Was actually a fairly entertaining show. A question: When did Joe Gacey switch from SJW parody (I distinctly remember him talking about "safe spaces" as the crowd booed) to supernatural cult leader?

For Great Justice Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 It’s funny to me that for all the talk yesterday about athletes vs wrestlers that put it into a binary context, the main developmental feud is between a legacy athlete and a CZW guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamal Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I agree that was Stratton's best match yet and Sarray was letting her have it lol I fear for the Warrior of the Sun though in new NXT Bitter vet Nattie is the best version of her yet. Hope to see her continue to bully the newcomers. Her Vs Nikitta should be fun. So happy for the former Rok-C. This was always her dream and I can definitely see her becoming a major player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’ll get three minutes of promo time since she’s won the title, just like Thunder Rosa has. If she’s lucky. Or get shuffled off to Dark never to be seen again. How’s Ruby Soho doing, btw? If there’s one weakness about AEW since day one(SINCE DAY ONE), it’s the complete lack of time they give to the women who are not named Britt Baker.
