Little side thing...
Kallisto's mask which was totally wasted in the Royal last night, was special made by Tom Savini

Everything and everyone in that match were totally wasted

 

[klonere]

AJPW talent getting booked on Lions Gate.

My dreams of Kento making Okada look strong are becoming reality.

 

[Anth0ny]

It's funny how WWE always calls out how WCW never gave its undercard talent opportunities yet WWE frequently did the exact same thing

You could literally take the audio from those "this is how WCW died" documentaries on the network and replace it with WWE footage from the last 10 years.

 

[Bronx-Man]

But then that would have never led to the HHH-Kevin Nash feud.

Who can forget the iconic moment of Nash texting himself

Trip's is going to open Raw. (Opinion)

"That's my big homie!"

WWE filed some new trademarks for names, and most of them are just NXT names including Ohno and others, but two of them are interesting, Eric Young and Roderick Strong. So those two have given up their names to WWE in order to keep using them there. Young makes sense, at his age this is really his last major run and he seems to be in a solid spot with Sanity, but Strong surprises me, they're not doing much with him so far and he may very well wind up back in the indies down the road, sans his name.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him be a bigger deal in NXT once some of the main eventers are called up between now and next year.

Vince could not care less about the Hardys except for the fact that now he has them and others do not.
Matt is 100% responsible for making the Hardys a big deal.

I can't really fault Vince for trying to capitalize on something popular.

Pic pls. I couldn't tell if that was him or Sin Cara with a full WrestleMania attire.

Huge missed opportunity for Rollins to not come to the ring dressed as Jamie Lannister by the way.

He was almost dressed the part.

Rollins attire and entrance were both horrible. Hell...the match too.

 

[Caderfix]

I wouldn't trust JBL's Spanish, breh. Doesn't...doesn't seem like his thing.

You know, I'm not even shocked. Fuck JBL and the WWE.

Wtf JBL? Nowhere near close.

Lmao why would you trust that piece of shit

He was just ribbing Sin Cara after he was eliminated in a match and I was just having fun, Maggles.

Yep. If Matt didn't get the broken gimmick over this Hardy run would be like the Dudleys return in the WWE.

After Jeff's push, I don't think so.

If #broken means losing that theme, then I don't want it.

Nice. I didn't see him at all.

 

[Cybit]

I wonder what happens / how Vince responds if Balor ends up catching Roman in merch numbers once Balor comes back healthy.

Considering he had Balor beat Reigns clean as soon as he brought him up to RAW, gonna guess Owens / Reigns have been the contingency plan for Balor for some time now; and we might get to see Balor unleashed tonight.

 

[imBask]

HHH will do a promo about how he won and stuff

oh wait no he didn't

he did the job

AGAIN

at WRESTLEMANIA

He lost against a young star

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

 

[jurgen]

Trip's is going to open Raw.

Oh good. This Rollins vs. Authority storyline is never going to end!

 

[Beefy]

cool.

Just a opinion! I can see him opening up and going mad at Rollins over Steph being put through a table. Steph won't show up.

 

[Caderfix]

blackaroni is right.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Wait, is Triple H actually having a promo?

HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DOES IT TAKE FOR HIM TO BE BEATEN BEFORE HE FUCKS OFF

 

[Bronx-Man]

SETH-UH

YOU MAY HAVE WON THE BATTLE-UH

BUT I WON THE WAR-UH

 

[Anth0ny]

https://youtu.be/20s8u_iPm-w

there you go


and it's not getting any better. which is why I think they're fucked, barring a miracle.

In 97, that miracle was Stone Cold. If there isn't another Stone Cold coming around, the ratings keep going down and eventually they lose their TV deal.

This is not going to end so soon. Steph was harmed, so they'll milk this for a while longer, most likely. However, I don't expect him to fight but rather to send his guys to do the job.

 

[half a moon]

I'm ready for raw but we got to wait 3 hours😖

 

[RecRoulette]

Triple H is just going to set up the Seth vs Joe feud.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Just imagine the WWE with no McMahon's....

 

[The Strokes]

Great mask for a dude that lasted like, literally seconds in the Battle Royal.

Also, no way anybody other than the Hardyz is opening Raw.

 

[GunBR]

The big question of tonight show is what's next for The Big Dog, now that this is his yard

 

[Bronx-Man]

[jmdajr]

HHH never even got his rematch against Reigns.

edit: lolz. I forget Reigns lost the Title only because he got popped.

You sure? We had had a Steph opening for ages in Raw.

 

[blackaroni]

Let's pretend that never happened. We're also gonna pretend like the feud with Rollins never happened too...cool?

The Hardyz will show up on the second hour followed by Enzo and Cass calling then SWAFT and haters

 

[Hasney]

I hate the Hardy's

Spoiler

because I'm actually going to have for watch Raw for a few weeks until they ruin them

 

[Bronx-Man]

HHH never even got his rematch against Reigns.

Also he immediately was booked for a rematch at Battleground despite this, and Seth was the heel for pointing it out.

 

[The Strokes]

It's gonna be either they or Roman. Last year Steph wasn't in the opener, iirc.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Let's pretend that never happened. We're also gonna pretend like the feud with Rollins never happened too...cool?

Let's take this one step further and just pretend WM30 was the last WWE show ever.

Either did I actually , I think I saw sin cara but briefly

I agree with you.

Within the next few years they wont be able to rely on part time talent and everyone apart from the very few chosen people/person have been jobbed out in favor of part timers and dont look like stars. Theyve eroded their own roster pretty badly.

People shouldnt be arguing about merch sales either. WWE have a history of screwing their non-chosen people out of merch too. Christian is the first example that comes to mind.

I hope you like watching all of WWE cause they going for all the gold.

I like watching Smackdown. I think they've only had one or two decent Raws in the last 12 months at the most.

 

[serenewarfare]

WWE tried everything they could to get to 2 million "subscribers" for the Network, and they still couldn't do it.

 

[Hex]

I am hoping that HHH comes out for a promo and is interrupted by someone most likely Seth, then Stephanie will come out making noise, then someone will come out and remind her that she was fired.
She will get uppity, HHH will get uppity then other music will play and the new GM will come out

 

[HashtagLapsed]

It should be fun today.

I, for one, am looking forward to New Generation 2.0

Yeah, at worst the crowd will make it fun tonight. It's the next few weeks I feel like I'll be skipping through a lot to find some broken brilliance.
