The more I look at that Flair GIF, the more I feel like it's a 2K glitch.

What was so bad on Raw that is causing all of this "down with the network" talk?

 

[Joeki11a]

Someone explain.

Never Give up hard liquor dance

GOD IS REAL
THE G1 CLIMAX ON USTREAM LIVES

 

[Jimmy King]

What was so bad on Raw that is causing all of this "down with the network" talk?

Apparently there was a very aggressive campaign all through out RAW to push the Network.

And then there's people who are taking dream and bean breath seriously.

Nothing really, they were just pushing the network hard throughout the whole show

It was ass grease

the network at this rate will lose tons of subscribers once the 6 month committent ends

 

[bean breath]

90 minutes in and no Sting. i give it 30 more minutes.

This ain't soccer, dog. This is Pro Wrestling, where the big boys play.

Oh, I forgot, If you buy the complete package before the 20th, you'll get it for $110. So you'll save $50. It goes on sale on the 15th!

Which is tomorrow, or today depending on where you live.

Our long national nightmare is finally over.

Looking forward to three weeks of a FUBAR sleep schedule.

• It was not a great raw outside of a few things
• the product is not all that exciting right now
• the network is clearly flopping and wwe sounds more desparate every week

 

[Dark Ninja]

I don't watch wrestling, but I saw this on tumblr and laughed for a few minutes:

Thats gold

 

[DMczaf]

I just noticed Sting has his full Crow Sting attire in that video.

No t-shirt.

"...and now here's 2 sistas"

Pro Wrestling Is Fake, but Its Race Problem Isn't

Bryan was smart as fuck to let Reigns inherit this mess.

Hell yes I will be buying this as soon as it goes up!

 

[bean breath]

Foxron?
Camefox?

I can't think of anything.

"Black Beauties" - Strobogo

 

[bean breath]

Even though she's tainted with Cena jizz, Nikki's thickness is perfect. All the chocolate cake goes straight to her ass which is a plus.

LMAO

That's my favorite part! The Network is a colossal failure and WWE's fix is to produce terrible television and terrible PPVs.

Plus, they're cutting all the original programming that, in theory, should be the Network's selling point. In its place, they're giving their subscribers old content that these suckers probably already own on DVD anyway.

I love the fact that as WWE bleeds money, their response is to hate their fans even more than they did in more prosperous times.

That's just it. They don't think it's their product. They think it's the fact people don't know it exists or how to get it. They're probably right to an extent, but if the product was amazing, people would find out how pretty quick.

 

[thuway]

I really think it was a bad idea to break up the Shield when they did. The three man-group is such a cool concept, and they had to muck it up to try and fill in some tough voids.

Evolution 2.0 dying as fast as it did was also a stupid move. Instead of Orton, HHH, and Batista - you could have easily had Kane, Sami Zayn, and Ziggler form a "corporate" stable.

Instead, the Wyatts are emaciated, Shield is dead, and Cena is champ.

Cena's just putting guys over, man.

Wouldn't be surprised if they had him going hard on DDP Yoga since he was signed a few months back. He's gonna kick some ass at Summerslam to hype up the game.

 

[bean breath]

HERE WE GO

Sting!!!

HERE HE COMES!

Sting!

STINGER FUCK YEAH!!!1

They are using his best theme!

THE STINGER!!!

Well there's Sting.

STING!!!

DAT STING POP

STING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who's that?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

 

[lupinko]

DDP yoga at work?

 

[Vylash]

I think we should all take a moment to stare at the face of the most must see superstar in WWE history and current hollywood icon The Miz

Enjoy

 

[bean breath]

I want that full version of that version of the Crow Sting theme. That shit was rockin.

That has to be a Jim Johnston joint.

Has to.

I still wish they hadn't panicked and pulled the trigger on the title unification. If they had waited 1 more PPV even, they would have done it at the exact time all the chaos started to go down, would have been able to put a belt on Bryan and a belt on Batista at Mania, and at least some of this mess could have been avoided entirely.

They should be doubling down on the original programming as that's the most compelling reason to subscribe imo, other than the monthly ppv which only accounts for 3 hours of the month. The fact that they're adding old Raws so slowly, and haven't even begun to add old Nitro, Smackdown, or Thunder episodes is just insane. They're just sitting on all of that history bu-bu-bu-but you can watch all the ppvs! News flash guys, nobody wants to watch those ppvs out of context. People want to go back and watch everything chronologically. All of my co-workers have said as much, and they won't sub until they can. I don't blame them, who'd want to get locked into paying $60 without knowing if or when the content they want to watch will be added? These programmers think they can slow drip these things like it's the virtual console.

 

[Zach]

How are you going to go from Steamboat/Regal to Charlie Norris(?)/Big Sky(?!), Fall Brawl 1993? Jesus Christ. I'm going to bed.

 

[funkystudent]

No t-shirt.

Making old guys wrestle in shirts in really just a WCW/TNA thing. WWE never really asked guys to do that.


Plus he never looked that bad without a shirt when he was in TNA.

 

[bean breath]

The thread on OT should get bump.

loool

There is a thread about it now?

Is the OP Kofi?

The OP is a Christian White Man from Oklahoma.

 

[bean breath]

 

[bean breath]

Holy shit, is Bray shooting?

When Bray shoots, if Bray should ever shoot, there will be no doubt in anyone's mind whether or not it's a shoot.

 

[bean breath]

This crowd is awesome.

Guess they are not Wyatt fans

Wow at Bray getting a boring chant.

crowd shitting on Bray, finally. even they be waking up.

Loving the boring chants

can't blame the crowd on this one, i'm sorry bray.

Wyatt is boring as shit. Good crowd is correct.

Well that was boring

FINALLY!

 

[bean breath]

omg, mind reader.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

People are shocked by this. They done this many times before. Remember CM Punk in front of a bucket of Kentucky fried chicken.

That was during an commercial-free Raw, though, so the blatant product placement was at least somewhat justified.

 

[Future Foundation]

Seriously, that orchestral theme. The full version of that shit has to come out.

Apparently there was a very aggressive campaign all through out RAW to push the Network.

And then there's people who are taking dream and bean breath seriously.

Umpossible.

Exactly.

Every week they should be putting up at least a Raw and a Nitro, in chronological order. Make it line up with this Monday Night War documentary series they have going.

Hire John Pollock and Wai Ting. Get them to do a Review a Wai after every Raw and Nitro uploaded. Boom, original, fresh content to go along with the old, beloved content from back in the day.

Spoiler

It will be Renee and Booker T doing kayfabe recap shows

 

[bean breath]

Eva Marie has a theme?

Eva Marie is billed from Concord, California?

 

[Snaku]

Seriously, that orchestral theme. The full version of that shit has to come out.

If WWE can make a buck off it, you can bet your ass they'll try. And they'll plug the hell out of it every night.

Buy now on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, and don't forget to subscribe to the WWE Network where you can relive all of Sting's glorious Nitro moments during brief recap segments in WCW ppvs!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Hilarious to listen to the boos when the live crowd finds out the Sting video is just a video game thing. Why even show that to the live audience? Idiots.

I meant the live IN ARENA audience. You're just going to disappoint and piss them off.

Dare I?!

Wouldn't you rather have 6 months of WWE Network instead?

 

[Snaku]

You don't know how close I was to making a 4 hour road trip to see Raw tonight, but I knew they'd just be pulling some 2k announcement shit. So glad I listened to my gut on that one.

I'm okay with it because 1) the reaction was funny and 2) knowing that it was a middle finger to everybody who thought "lol WWE fans don't care about Sting in 2014" gives me strength

 

[bean breath]

First Raw Ive seen in years and its completely shit. Wouldn't be surprised if this show gets cancelled soon.
