Okay Kurt, Conor will take five bumps if you do this with Conor's trainer afterwards:

Because he has to feed his goddamn kids sf2, weren't you paying attention to his plea?

He won a gold medal with a broken freaking neck! Just give him a bottle of Jack and he'll do it all day.

He already won a gold medal with a broken freakin neck, you think some padded punches are going to even register on the body of an olympic hero?

edit - god damn you blue! haha

99 Kurt? Sure, 2016 Kurt? Guy will be throwing his guts up in seconds.

But with Brock? This is were they could of used Stroman. Feed Heath to Stroman, not Brock.

 

[mariachi507]

Highlight of the night goes to the Lesnar/Slater segment. It was a smart way to combine two on-going storylines and managed to push both of them forward. As funny as Heath's "kids" were on Smackdown last week, I actually managed to feel sympathy for him tonight. Hopefully the writer's go somewhere with it. Brocks "I don't give a shit about your kids" was awesome and he looked like the monster he is.

Overall, I thought it was a solid RAW. Jeri-KO had me cracking up as did Nia Jax's "Count her out, she's dead" line. The return of Superman Roman booking was bullshit though.

99 angle didn't need the jack, this one does.

 

[bjork]

No one cares about Stroman, though. Someone channel surfing isn't going to stop to see his matches, but they might recognize Brock and at least watch his segment. I think it was a smart way to try and hook a non-fan or even a casual viewer, to stick around. I forget the storyline in question, but some similar segment is what hooked my mom into watching an episode and then coming back next week to see what happened.

 

[Adree]

He has to do something to try and make it sound important.

He can probably carry Finn to a good match at Summerslam since Finn does about the same amount of moves Roman does.

 

[Adree]

Heath Slater is the best thing on either show.

 

[bjork]

I'm sure it will be fine, but they never manage to make anything feel like a big match or a must-see, through their weekly show. Heyman does a good job of selling like an old-school pitch man, but aside from that, I feel like they have a hard time making the audience care about seeing a PPV over a Raw or SD.

 

[klonere]

I think the casual catch a viewer goes something like this

"Oh hey its Brock Lesnar"
"That was pretty good, bring bak de atitude era, maybe I will watch next week"
"Oh fuck that its 3 hours long"

*never watches again*

Gonna be real tough to make them care when they are shitting out ppv's twice a month. Hell, I'm having trouble caring myself.

 

[Kurita]

That was a decent RAW
-Rusev/Roman was cool
-I'm ok with a Cesaro/Sheamus feud
-Slater is money. Too bad he gets buried by that boring ass Lesnar.

 

[Striker]

Thought Lesnar's brief moment of talking was good. Should have ended it after the beatdown.

Paul repeating the same buzzwords and dialogue is tiresome. Especially since it is the same promo he has done for nearly every fued. He can do better.

So Will Ospreay's new plan for not dying is as well as "cutting back" in 2017, that he's only going to be working tag matches next year outside of the likes of Rev Pro/PROGRESS/OTT.

Also he's probably not taking the Heyman/EVOLVE contract.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I mean it's pretty funny that you guys are now operating on the premise that Finn is actually bad at in-ring performance, in other words, he is bad at literally everything wrestling related now.

Having seen Will in tags, this is not going to help much either. He just can't help himself.

tbf upon listening to WOR/Review-A-Raw and hearing that they are completely going full stupid ass WWE shit fuck its so bad DEMON KING on him I'd hate him too. I'd hate everything about him.

WE'LL CALL HIM THE DEMON KING HUNTER, AND WE'LL HAVE SETH ROAM AROUND LOOKING FOR THE DEMON KING, LIKE A MOVIE! AND WE'LL HAVE SETH CALL THAT OTHER SMALL BRITISH KID A HOBBIT. THAT'S SPORTING ENTERTAINMENT. WE HAVE 12 HOURS OF FIRST RUN PROGRAMMING THIS WEEK BWAHAHAHA.

His big plan is to tour a trios title with the Swords of Essex, so maybe he just has to do a couple bumps? Here's hoping.

Raw is back to making me irrationally angry and I don't even watch it anymore.

Maybe its a lack of sleep.

I guess that could work. The Uptown Funkers shtick is very over

Spoiler

so over a girl kept trying to grab his junk during the conga line

and could be a good avenue for Will to hang back in ring, Ryan did all the big dives. Will still managed to take a disgusting looking package piledriver and do the multiple standing moonsaults spot from the RPW match with Dunne.

plz stay alive Will.

 

[Kurita]

Call Ambrose lazy if you want but Lesnar and Heyman are just as bad

OTT just sounds like a giant party

 

[orioto]

So people thought Reigns was buried but his US title feud is the most important thing on the go-home show by far lol. Even when Cena was US champ his feuds were never that important on tv.

Also in Owens progression toward being shitty and unimportant, he's now in a cheater jobbing team where he has no moveset anymore and can't win a single match by himself.

Also you think Jericho and Owens will be great at promos but what you don't get is that this is also part of enhancing Enzo and Cass. They have to be better at promos and super over, so Jerico and Owens won't be too good at it.

It really is. Just a bit of craic like.

I turned to raw when Roman popped on

I thought it was strange as fuck that they were cheering him. I was like what did he do that made people suddenly like him?

And after all this I believe it lol.

not like they didnt try this before

They have to actually pipe in the crowd chanting three counts?

Funny because it's true and people who "call out" the IWC still seem to think it's the 90s when IWC still stood for Internet Wrestling Council and made up of a small percentage of elitists, ignoring that it's evolved and now we're all basically a part of the IWC.

So apparently they were piping in noise for the Rusev/Roman match last night?

Not surprising, something felt off about it. I like how back during the MNW they'd mock WCW for piping in chants for Goldberg but here we are.

Also lol at Steph randomly burying rusev

I await the HHH interview where he points to this and says, "it wasn't 50/50, sheamus won 4 of 7"

Mancow vs. Jimmy Hart. Just the match I've always wanted to see.

Foley actually looked super into the backstage argument between Cesaro and Sheamus. Cool segment.
I actually don't mind getting more matches.

 

[Raw64life]

I've always loved the best of 7 series. I think it does a lot to raise the prestige of the..........wait, neither of them have a belt do they

 

[bjork]

I've kinda been indifferent about HHH for his whole career other than being mad when he cut his hair, but when I read that quote, it's like... what a smug dickhead. Like it's creative that's making WWE profit.

 

[MC Safety]

A best of one will do fine for Cesaro and Sheamus.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

No interest in seeing Cesaro anymore. His 'character' or lack thereof is the pits and in-ring it's mostly just elbows now.
