Man, I've heard "retard" like a thousand times on this RAW. And Patterson and Brisco sexually assaulted Chyna.

The Attitude Era suuuuuucks.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Balor better be there tonight.

I won't bet on it.

 

[BroBot]

Hopefully there's a new Raw intro for this "new era"

The Attitude Era suuuuuucks.

Somewhere in very late 99 or early 2000, you can tell they make a concerted effort to stop saying "Big Red Retard" and changed it to something better.

 

[UberTag]

Balor better be there tonight.

They're going to drag this out until we don't care any more. Like everything else.
So don't hold your breath.

Hopefully there's a new Raw intro for this "new era"

You're a funny guy. Might as well ask for a new set and commentary team while you're at it.

 

[mhs004]

I won't bet on it.

Wtf, he needs to leave nxt. Raw needs him bad.

 

[Officerrob]

Who's running Smackdown?

 

[NastyBook]

Wonder how ballzy Enzo would be to try to come out tonight to open RAW?

 

[Menome]

That was hurtful, Menome.

I'm not a good guy.

I'm not THEE guy.

I'm a bad guy.

 

[Skatterd]

Wonder how ballzy Enzo would be to try to come out tonight to open RAW?

Bonafide stud.
Certified G.

 

[DJKhaled]

God this intro recap is shit

 

[Sanjuro]

On the other side, I don't have a problem with people who complain about the way it's done. There's a part of me that loves the crap out of the way wrestling was presented as a legitimate contest the way WCW did (even if most of the time it didn't make the most sense).

My biggest problem right now is that the WWE picks and chooses when they want a finisher to be protected and when they don't care about another guy's finisher. I don't particularly like one guy eating multiple finishers, kicking out, hitting one of his finishers and getting the win. That doesn't gel well with me, but it's whatever, not a big deal for me so I don't really complain about it.

As to the Ambrose/Jericho match, I really thought Ambrose looked slow and out of place which is weird because Jericho is like 500 years older than him. His light jogs to the ropes to do his moves sets off a twitch in my brain.

WCW never presented it in a better way. They were notoriously incompetent for their live shows.

Finishers are bigger in 2016 largely because of the stunner.

 

[Ultratech]

Who's this narrator guy?

 

[SallyIsNow]

I was about to put on a RAW stream, and I thought about how they were gonna show a package of Reigns winning. And, I think that was it. I'm finally done. The curse is lifted. Peace losers.

Spoiler

At least until SummerSlam, cause I'm probably going.

 

[The_Joker1721]

I forgot to post about it but I'm really glad Enzo is okay. Let's see what this raw has to offer.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

This promo is kinda cool.

 

[Skatterd]

Did they just inception horn Reigns spear
Lmao

 

[Nekofrog]

WCW never presented it in a better way. They were notoriously incompetent for their live shows.

Disagree. The pomp and circumstance that went into presenting it as a "sport" in the late 80s was still very much strong.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

And here we go.

 

[Zach]

Somewhere in very late 99 or early 2000, you can tell they make a concerted effort to stop saying "Big Red Retard" and changed it to something better.

So that's like an entire year of "retard". Jesus.

 

[Brinbe]

This already seems like it'll be a super shitty Raw

 

[BroBot]

I was about to put on a RAW stream, and I thought about how they were gonna show a package of Reigns winning. And, I think that was it. I'm finally done. The curse is lifted. Peace losers.

See you after Raw so we can all complain together.

 

[DJKhaled]

Fuck stop saying new era, nothing has changed, it's still the same lame crap with the same intro song and the same shitty mcmahon storyline.

 

[Strax]

This promo is kinda cool.

Meh

 

[Sanjuro]

RAW needs a new era theme song.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Same intro folks.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Yeah too bad new era doesn't mean new theme song

 

[Corven]

Hopefully there's a new Raw intro for this "new era"

Tonight isn't the night for that.

 

[Zach]

I'm not a good guy.

I'm not THEE guy.

I'm a bad guy.

Nah, you have a heart of gold under that grizzly bear exterior.

 

[mightynine]

Steph locked out of the intro's new era.

 

[Owzers]

I'm so excited for Raw tonight, who's Raw will it be? Is Shane going to run it? Will Stephanie interject? Oh man, Stephanie's music !

 

[Brinbe]

Way to kick that new era off... barf

 

[Sanjuro]

Disagree. The pomp and circumstance that went into presenting it as a "sport" in the late 80s was still very much strong.

...it's being presented to you as a sport as recent as last evening.

 

[Officerrob]

Oh god...

 

[NastyBook]

Oh, well...

 

[Ultratech]

Fuck stop saying new era, nothing has changed, it's still the same lame crap with the same intro song and the same shitty mcmahon storyline.

New Era

Same ol' Shit

 

[ShaggsMagoo]

New era, tonight is still the night. And we start with the goddamn McMahon's. Has the hockey game started yet?

 

[BroBot]

SAME intro? I'm already done...

 

[Toki767]

Meet the era. Same as the old era.

 

[Zach]

WCW never presented it in a better way. They were notoriously incompetent for their live shows.

Finishers are bigger in 2016 largely because of the stunner.

Do whaaat?

We're not speaking, Sanjuro.

 

[Nekofrog]

...it's being presented to you as a sport as recent as last evening.

Come on. Watch a show from when I'm talking about and it's a night and day difference. There's nothing wrong with that either, as I said, but it's totally different in how it's presented and portrayed.

 

[Dunedain_Ranger]

A new era or new new era ?

 

[UberTag]

Fuck stop saying new era, nothing has changed, it's still the same lame crap with the same intro song and the same shitty mcmahon storyline.

Take a drink whenever you hear "new era" tonight. You'll be plastered before Ambrose comes out.

Oh look, it's the same RAW theme song as always. How new and exciting!

 

[mightynine]

Can a new era for Raw include a readable font for the lower 3rds? Please?

 

[Sanjuro]

Why is Byron Saxton allowed to speak?

 

[Cheat Code]

Oh, St. Louis?

Orton time.

 

[thefro]

yet another McMahon segment to start the show

 

[Bluekaveli]

Please go back to the Jacki-O theme

 

[Brinbe]

this sucks. any main focus on the fucking mcmahons is horrid.

 

[DJKhaled]

I know I'm in a tiny minority here but I really prefer Steph to Shane, she is annoying as fuck but at least she doesn't blatantly pander.
