[Jimmy King]

Terrible start.

 

[Vylash]

IC title curse continues, sorry ziggler

 

[reptilescorpio]

Didn't know Brock was scheduled tonight

He was scheduled but not advertised, I assumed they weren't 100% on whether or not to use him.

 

[Kiever Sher]

Brock not bout to throw down on tv

 

[Thorakai]

This damn company. Better start bracing myself to see Brock job to Cena live....

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Might actually be home in time for Bryan...they wrote this for me.

 

[Toki767]

He was scheduled but not advertised, I assumed they weren't 100% on whether or not to use him.

It's apparently punishment or something for Brock not re-signing a deal. Like Brock cares about getting advertised or not. He just cares about being paid.

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

The man that broke the streak and that has pretty much destroyed the top star on the show twice is now retreating..

Makes sense.

 

[Nocturnowl]

I'm still amazed at how swiftly they squandered the Summerslam squashing of Cena, as if the run up to NoC and the event itself didn't do enough we have that lovely segment of fleeing heel Lesnar yet again which is like the result of half his raw segments at this point.

 

[DMczaf]

lol obama suck it!

amirite, vince?!

 

[Macho Madness]

Ziggler beating Rusev

not

 

[UberTag]

Obama shot from the face WWE commentary team. Never change, Vince.

 

[Chamber]

Fine with me if Seth-kun ends up with the belt.

"The following is a champion vs champion"

A champion vs champion what Lillian?

 

[Moa]

What ever happened to all that European Championship stuff?

Yeah, it doesn't make any sense to have Brock Lesnar running away from Cena after Brock completely destroyed Cena at Summerslam.

 

[Amory]

Welp Dolph has no chance.

 

[TheWarrior]

IC title curse continues, sorry ziggler

This will be a DQ match

 

[iMax]

What was it? Missed it.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Lana, but

Spoiler

with booty shorts

.

 

[kirblar]

Fine with me if Seth-kun ends up with the belt.

SHIELD 3-way for the tile is 100% the best story they have for the title, too bad they won't do it.

 

[Vylash]

cole implying that putin watches raw is amazing

 

[dakun]

This will be a DQ match

100% certain.

 

[DMczaf]

Rusev vs Ziggler

A good seller vs a clown seller

 

[UberTag]

Cole delivering Dolph's promo via commentary because we have to relegate wrestler promos that would help get themselves over to the app and exclusive WWE.com segments.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Well you see Cena may have had Lesnar beat at NoC in September had it not been for Rollins interference thus immediately setting things back to the status quo where Cena and Lesnar are evenly matched and Lesnar is just your standard heel dude.
So basically at this point Summerslam might as well have never happened, or at least not in the decisive manner that Lesnar won in.

 

[UberTag]

It didn't happen. Cena rules over all and his opponent is a chickenshit just like always.

 

[reptilescorpio]

That's insanely stupid by WWE. Like you said, it doesn't hurt Lesnar one bit. On the other hand not pimping their champion turning up on TV really hurts WWE as having your champ on TV in some kind of fashion will draw more viewers. That's just plain dumb by WWE.

 

[Kiever Sher]

 

[Amory]

For anyone who has been watching, when King switched over from the "heel" announcer, was it done over time or just instantly when JR retired?

I hope it was just on a dime.

It's just Vince being Vince. Why would you expect them to NOT be "dumb" or "insanely stupid"?

That. Or Cena just farted super duper hard and Brock couldn't handle the smell. He had to get the F away from him ASAP. Cena farts are no joke.

 

[Kiever Sher]

Vince probably thinks no one remembers Summerslam, like the common man certainly doesn't. We're all special here though.

 

[Nocturnowl]

At this point someone jobbing to Cena's flatulence wouldn't even be that surprising and in line with the WWE's brand of comedy.

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

I hope it was just on a dime.

The process was in the motion well before JR retired if I recall correctly.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Finishers suck now.

 

[dream]

Holy crap I had no idea Alberto El Patron wrestled Masakatsu Funaki last month. Way to tell me, Boootaaay. What a match!

 

[Ithil]

Finishers suck now.

The Fameasser has never been Ziggler's finisher.

 

[Jimmy King]

Cena is WWE's supreme leader. He does not have the capability to go the bathroom, or fart for he does not need to.

 

[Kiever Sher]

When will she release the hair again? When she sides with Cena eventually?

 

[sf2fanatic]

The Fameasser has never been Ziggler's finisher.

Billy Gunn won tons of matches with it. Zig zags should get the same treatment.

 

[Big One]

Just jumped in. Daniel Bryan is goign to announce his return possible? Now that's something I want to sit through to watch.

 

[dakun]

lol what a stupid finish.

 

[Amory]

Sigh.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

That knee kick by Rusev missed by a mile

 

[Entropia]

Rusev so mean !

 

[Ithil]

Billy Gunn won tons of matches with it. Zig zags should get the same treatment.

And Hogan used the leg drop as a finisher, but Undertaker's was just a signature.

 

[reptilescorpio]

What ever happened to all that European Championship stuff?

Went up on Twitter before they showed it on TV so it got scrapped I guess.

It's just Vince being Vince. Why would you expect them to NOT be "dumb" or "insanely stupid"?

Vince loves money though and tends to put petty shit aside for the almighty dollar, seems like a strange thing for him to do. Especially after the shitty TV deal, I thought he would want to get easy boosts to ratings when he can, it costs them nothing extra to advertise Lesnar is going to be on Raw and will yield a positive in terms of ratings

 

[Officerrob]

The rope serves ZERO purpose there

 

[Amory]

Sure, feed Ryback to Rusev. Whatever.
