In WWE, it's party time none of the time. God I hope they shutter NXT soon. Is "Full Sail University" even accredited?

 

[Judderman]

HOLY SHIT IT'S THIS FUCKING MATCH AGAIN

 

[plagiarize]

Oh man, they might actually be going with my idea with regards to Adam Rose....he gets vicious and shit and transforms into Leo Kruger.

He's been turning serious midway through matches on NXT. His ring work is solid. It was really stupid to take this long to have him perform in the ring. Debuting him in promos and run ins was a big mistake.

 

[sephi22]

Sheamus vs Del Rio
Never seen that before

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Del Rio vs. Swagger?

ummm, I have important business to attend to.

 

[melonrabbit]

Why would you put up the finale of Total Divas against Payback?

 

[Macho Madness]

Barrett vs Sheamus on Smackdown

 

[Keyser Soze]

Whoever wrote the last 30 minutes of RAW is a glorious human being

 

[Vylash]

Sheamus vs Del Rio is always good, but christ I'm tired of seeing it

 

[toddhunter]

Okay, that Rose going absolutely batshit insane on Swagger moment has a lot of potential for where this gimmick could go.

People need to give the WWE more credit. These days they are not just going to introduce a guy who dances and does nothing else.

 

[serenewarfare]

Why would you put up the finale of Total Divas against Payback?

WWE believes there is zero crossover and all the lovely casual viewers just love their Total Divas and don't watch wrasslin.

 

[Jimmy King]

On Superstars.

I can see it now going on during the RAW pre-show: Josh Matthews, Booker T, Alex Riley and special guest Seth Rollins recapping Reigns title reign while the match goes on in the background.

Last week I was glad I turned off after the shield match. This week I am glad I did not.

Yeah, that was what 2013 was for.

Wait, so we can't judge things based on the first three weeks? Blasphemy.

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

Rose can wrassle. Only redeeming quality the character has.

 

[Ithil]

Sheamus vs Del Rio

 

[plagiarize]

Wait, so we can't judge things based on the first three weeks? Blasphemy.

The way they introduced him was stupid. We can judge that just the same as we can judge how they've been mishandling Paige in the ring. They'll get there though.

 

[Gorillaz]

So everyone is watching legends house huh

 

[alstein]

And Rusev



Some people can make a living out of being a joke character, and some people can turn a joke character into something amazing.

I'd want to a joke character. Santino and the Hurricane made a ton of merch, and comedy matches don't get you killed.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Maybe the confetti is for Sheamus?

 

[Vylash]

Who the fuck fired up the network and went "yeah I think i'll watch Extreme Rules"

 

[melonrabbit]

WWE believes there is zero crossover and all the lovely casual viewers just love their Total Divas and don't watch wrasslin.

Then why have the Total Divas stuff cluttering up RAW and Smackdown?

 

[Jimmy King]

Cesaro, please cut this off from the start.

 

[Sephzilla]

Are you sure?

Sometimes you can.

 

[serenewarfare]

Oh I agree completely. But to insinuate we know the future of the gimmick and that it won't evolve or change along the way and just completely fail based on two weeks of seeing it is kind of silly.

 

[plagiarize]

So everyone is watching legends house huh

I do. I'll watch anything with that much Roddy Piper.

 

[Sephzilla]

I'd want to a joke character. Santino and the Hurricane made a ton of merch, and comedy matches don't get you killed.

Edge, Angle, and Mick Foley all went through a joke character phase and became main eventers.

 

[Thorakai]

Who the fuck fired up the network and went "yeah I think i'll watch Extreme Rules"

why wouldn't you want to relive the classic that is el torrito vs hornswaggle

 

[Sblargh]

Well, Alicia Fox won this Raw, but Bryan did a good promo pandering to me because I like a champion who likes me, plus, the demon Kane thing seems to be over, Kane is an employee and the real feud keeps being with the Authority; Emma is actually having matches without Santino (baby steps); Adam Rose was pretty good, regardless of what boring people says, I thought it was better than the matches I saw him having at NXT; I love that he turns violent when one of his party peeps is at trouble, Sandow still jobbing, but he I really love they keep at it with his costumes and/or insanity, because it can be great (when he stops jobbing).

All in all, a good Raw. Ignoring that we are about to see Sheamus vs ADR, of course.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Maybe the confetti is for Del Rio?

 

[Gorillaz]

Sometimes you can.

Spoiler

I just like the avatar pic

 

[Judderman]

ADR needs Ricardo back in the worst way.

 

[Vylash]

i don't know why, but this episode feels ridiculously long

 

[Ithil]

Are you sure?

Thing there is Brodus literally can't wrestle.

 

[serenewarfare]

Then why have the Total Divas stuff cluttering up RAW and Smackdown?

Because no one who watches Raw and Smackdown watches Total Divas, so they have to keep people up to date every week. Or so they think.

Sometimes you can.

I don't know what you are suggesting, but I'm not sure I like it.

 

[plagiarize]

They were on the pre show and it was better than most anything on the actual card.

 

[Sephzilla]

Thing there is Brodus literally can't wrestle.

True. Rose has infinitely more potential than Brodus simply because of that.

 

[dream]

I suppose Adam Rose could be "the serious one" in 4 Man Band.

 

[Gorillaz]

Maybe the confetti is for Sheamus?

Maybe the confetti is for Del Rio?

Idk why but this is hilarious

 

[plagiarize]

True. Rose has infinitely more potential than Brodus simply because of that.

He can actually dance too.

 

[melonrabbit]

Because no one who watches Raw and Smackdown watches Total Divas, so they have to keep people up to date every week. Or so they think.
.

This whole line of thinking is infuriating.

 

[Jimmy King]

The silence is so deafening for Sheamus and Del Rio that when that stupid 10 count clubbing spot happened I was legit shook.

 

[serenewarfare]

This whole line of thinking is infuriating.

Few lines sum up the general opinion on WWE's thought processes more aptly than this one.

 

[Sephzilla]

So I was watching the "memorable debuts" Countdown and it was pretty awful. I'm not sure if they should continue with the "fan voting" with future Countdowns, but on the flipside if WWE simply just picked these we'd probably get tons of revisionist Vince McMahon history.

 

[Keyser Soze]

 

[Razorskin]

I know who's the confetti for...

 

[Sblargh]

WWE recaps things for recapping sake. I think one day they recapped stuff on a day with an awesome match between people Vince said were bomb; so the oficial explanation became that recaps increase ratings; so now they recap everything, and they recap what they recapped, and a good 20% of Raw is some form of recapping or the other.

 

[PInk Tape]

I know who's the confetti for...

The hero we deserve.
