I'm kind of amazed by how fast Joe's descent into irrelevance on RAW has been.

Some momentum leading up to Roadblock (End of the LINE?!), and then nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Fastlane you mean?

 

[SallyIsNow]

Jericho shoulda stayed gone.

 

[serenewarfare]

The weird thing with Joe is that they really haven't done anything wrong with him. He's just been without a feud for so long that he feels like a nothing character. Like the actual match to match booking is fine, but they've given him nothing outside of that.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Seth to win clean

 

[Sinatar]

There is no reason Jericho should lose this match.

He's just there to put over some folks before he leaves.

 

[blackaroni]

If they were going to continue this shitty feud, then they should have at least had Joe interfere in that shitty WM match.

It doesn’t help that they clearly just killed whatever stable plans they had.

 

[justjim89]

they've fucked joe so much

Maybe they shouldn't be trying to turn a 38 year old main roster rookie into a huge main event level star, and instead use a talent of his ability and age to raise others up.

 

[Syder]

Why should the more talented one not go over?

 

[Sanjuro]

Yeah. Joe should be part time. He is just too old.

Yeah I still don't know why the fuck they didn't have that.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

It is extra painful we could have had Miz vs Nakamura.

Now we have Miz vs Ambrose, again. And Nak vs fucking Ziggler.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

has booker said anything?

edit: he just did!

Is being wrong your gimmick or something?

AJ Styles is 39 years old, should he be a jobber too?

jabroniejim89, shut your ass up.

 

[Beefy]

?

 

[blackaroni]

Man, they should really move on from that knee too. Just pretend that injury never happened...Seth does that for most of his matches anyways.

 

[Sanjuro]

?

I'm just matching the ridiculous posts for this evening.

"I was only pretending to be Small4Life. "

Joe is great and is much better than most of the younger roster and deserves to be pushed.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Blows my mind that The Walls of Jericho is so over

 

[slabrock]

lol just tapped out

 

[Sanjuro]

"I was only pretending to be Small4Life. "

You said Jericho should be gone.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Fuck I hate Michael Cole.

 

[The Strokes]

Seth's gonna make Joe pull out the muscle buster. Can't wait.

 

[Tom Nook]

Good, Joe won.

 

[serenewarfare]

Again, that's a good win and the right booking, but if they continue to not give Joe any outside context it won't help him.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL

 

[painey]

what's joey samoey doing in the raw zone?

 

[somedevil]

Makes sense since Jericho is leaving after Payback.

 

[friskykillface]

Joe the 🐐

 

[SallyIsNow]

How did Joe win?

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Bret hired him to be the Hitman.

Oh God he's a authority stooge.

 

[justjim89]

All I know is that the flow of young stars coming out of NXT has basically stopped since they started bringing in guys that are pushing 40.

I like Joe. I like AJ. I like all of the guys they've brought in, by and large. But they're probably not gonna be around in four or five years.

 

[ReiGun]

Samoa Joe knows all the words.

 

[The Strokes]

How did Joe win?

Coquina clutch.

 

[Beefy]

Joe spits loads

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Makes sense since Jericho is leaving after Payback.

Losing to KO again makes sense. Not heading into the PPV

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Feth!

 

[Ultratech]

Hey, that's not PG.

Then they'll just sign new guys. It's not like WWE booking is good at making young guys into stars anyways.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Congratulations Seth. Calling him a bitch has brought you to the badass level of a Smackdown women's feud.

 

[Nameless]

I don't think Book wants to be there

 

[Dark Ninja]

Seth is awful he couldn't sound more disinterested during commentary.

 

[blackaroni]

At least Joe made this seem somewhat interesting.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

DRIFTER!





MENOME!!!!

 

[Tom Nook]

The word bitch is so edgy

 

[Sanjuro]

Payback is a bitch? What? Who says that?

 

[ReiGun]

The Drifter!

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Braun doing good
