So...got through the first two hours of Raw in about 30 minutes last night. The Taker/Brock and HHH promos were the only things I really watched all the way through, minus fast forwarding through ring entrances.

Is it safe to assume the last hour of Raw is equally fast forward worthy?

Don't fast forward the end.

This has probably been posted, but one of the Team Four Star (Dragon Ball Z Abridged) guys played some Dark Souls as Scott Steiner. It's pretty spot-on. He's a bit too high-pitched but it's almost perfect at the part where he enters the big building and sees the first boss for the first time.

 

[Alucard]

Don't fast forward the end.

How about Orton vs. Batista?

That is the end. Watch it.

Do you want to miss Authority on commentary?

Of course not. See it.

I think we should all settle home in WRESTLEMANIA OT for the week.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Los Matadores are heels now?

 

[Vylash]

How about Orton vs. Batista?

steph's commentary made that worth watching

 

[DMczaf]

If you missed the WM30 Press Conference, its up on the Network now. You get Real Ass Brotista, and tons of awkwardness from everyone else. Then to end the show, you get Grandpa Cena telling a bedtime story.

 

[Spider from Mars]

If you're in the jobber battle roayle you aren't allowed to point at the sign

 

[Marvel]

Rosa Mendez looks fucking terrible now, there I said it.

The first reaction they got since October was getting booed for breaking up the Giant Swing, so they did a quick turn to capitalise on the heat.

deal. with. it.

 

[lovely ladies]

Rosa Mendez looks fucking terrible now, there I said it.

Why? Old? Drugs? Visited Batista's plastic surgeon?

 

[Spider from Mars]

Nice scooby doo spot with John pretending to be a Wyatt.
Watched the first two hours in 25 minutes. Still bored.

 

[Marvel]

Why? Old? Drugs? Visited Batista's plastic surgeon?

New hair and wardrobe man, I don't feel it.

New Japan show tomorrow, who's in?

NJPW, "WATARU INOUE RETIREMENT MEMORIAL", 2014.04.02
Korakuen Hall, Tokyo

www.ustream.tv/njpw - $15

18:30 Japan | 11:30 EU | 10:30 UK | 05:30 East Coast | 04:30 Central | 02:30 West Coast

1. Sho Tanaka & Yohei Komatsu vs CHAOS (Toru Yano & Takashi Iizuka)
2. Ryusuke Taguchi & El Desperado vs KUSHIDA & BUSHI
3. Jushin 'Thunder' Liger & Tiger Mask vs CHAOS (Jado & Gedo)
4. Yuji Nagata, Super Strong Machine & Captain New Japan vs Suzuki-gun (Minoru Suzuki, TAKA Michinoku & Taichi)
5. Togi Makabe, Tetsuya Naito, TenKoji (Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Satoshi Kojima) & Manabu Nakanishi vs CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada, Shinsuke Nakamura, Tomohiro Ishii, Yujiro Takahashi & YOSHI-HASHI)
6. Hiroshi Tanahashi & Tomoaki Honma vs Hirooki Goto & Katsuyori Shibata

That 10-man could be fun, but I'm buying this entirely for the main event. Liger & Tiger vs Jado & Gedo could be great, but I doubt they'll get too much time. Also looking forward to seeing the young lions in action again and I expect there'll be some sort of retirement ceremony for Inoue at the end of the show.

 

[blackaroni]

now?

Lmao. Beat me to it. She's always looked terrible and shiny.

 

[DMczaf]

 

[Spider from Mars]

Eva Marie bending over and Aksana have been the best parts of Raw so far.

 

[serenewarfare]

now?

I don't like what you are insinuating. Not one bit.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Shane Douglas is also starting his own wrestling promotion. Plans to offer health benefits and retirement plans to wrestlers

 

[Showaddy]

Just had a quick glance through that David Benoit interview. Waaay to long and full of a lot of crap really, shite interviewer as well. A few interesting points though if anyone wants to watch it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68M5YXUNxTo

He seems pretty upset that the WWE wont let him train at developmental and for not paying him and his sister royalties for using Benoit on the WWE network when they said they would never use Benoit for anything.

he sounds like Cartman.

 

[Spider from Mars]

No, not the Miz. Not like this.
No, not Sheamus. Not like this.
No, not Titus. Not like this.
Ziggy, you aight.

So many jobbers

Not Big Shoe. Not like this.

 

[Marvel]

now?

Last time I saw she had long dark hair, I obviously haven't been paying enough attention or fast forwarding too much lol.

I couldn't make it past three minutes. Way too awkward.

 

[slightconfuse]

The press conference was at WWF New York!!

Pastamania is running wild, brother.

HHH and Steph are carrying this angle single handily. It's the only match im interested in Sunday.

 

[Sephzilla]

I dunno, I cant shake that HHH/Steph/Bryan segment from a few weeks back where Steph and HHH pretty much repeated the same quote over and over in slightly different wording while Bryan actually contributed to the angle. HHH stepped up his game though after the fake cops thing though.

 

[DMczaf]

Brie and Daniel look like a couple.

Cena and Nikki look like they were told to stand next to each other.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Welp, finished Raw in about 45 minutes. Super bummed that the mania card sucks but it will be fun watchin it with others at least. Booze will be the MVP that night

Nice to see Hogan dressed up for the event

 

[Ithil]

They always do that final "photo op" and it's always funny. Khali, Show, Henry, Del Rio, the Divas, they're just there for "DIVERSITY!". They don't get a speech, or anything, they just show up at the end to make the WWE look more diverse, except its main event scene is all white males (well Batista is mixed race but close enough).

 

[DMczaf]

[Macho Madness]

Hogan came off like that Radio Shack commercial he was in. A sad, old cartoon character from the 80s. These press conferences always suck because WWE treats it like it's attended by wrestling fans and not mainstream media. They don't watch your product. Stop trying to play to them.

 

[slightconfuse]

Shane Douglas promotion sounds expensive . Also Shane Douglas isn't. Man I would trait to run a promotion

The main event has a goat, a viper, and an animal. That sounds pretty diverse to me.

It was especially annoying when Daniel Bryan kept trying to get his YES chant over when it was obvious from the start that the crowd was not going to buy anything. They were dead for Hogan, man. They will not know what your chant is!

And a shar pei, potentially.

Ric Flair?

ON YOUR KNEES, BOB!

 

[tm24]

You know, if you watch Giant Gonzalez vs Taker, I don't recommend it, but if you do? Gonzalez lost the battle but won the war. And that was prime Undertaker.

So Giant Gonzalez > Triple H > Undertaker

I do note this in my wm9 review. Triple h needs to hold that L
