[Dark Ninja]

Is R-Truth retiring do they need to fill his jobber spot

 

[spindashing]

hahaha

 

[slightconfuse]

did gail kim teach him that?

 

[RBH]

Nice to see Consequences Creed get called up, and for Truth & Consequences to be reunited.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Wait... Did anyone see that woman standing in the background of the 3MB/Florida Georgia Line segment holding the door?

Didn't see.

 

[gurudyne]

He's black and not built like a brick shithouse. Clearly, he must dance.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Didn't they already tell Randy this in one of his 100 PPV matches against Bryan?

 

[Ithil]

I stepped out for a minute and missed Xavier Woods' debut? What the hell?

What happened?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Good time for a bathroom break.

I stepped out for a minute and missed Xavier Woods' debut? What the hell?

What happened?

He just showed up with R-Truth and was his tag team partner against 3MB. That was about it.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

God I want to go all strong style on Renee Young.

 

[Alucard]

Tuned in during the Cena/Del Rio promo spot. How has the show been tonight?...

I'm excited about the main event.

 

[gurudyne]

I stepped out for a minute and missed Xavier Woods' debut? What the hell?

Yeah, it was really weird.

Kind of weirdly big night for the WWE's black developmental stars--Big E gets a title and Woods gets a debut. In Nashville of all places.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I heard something of interest might have happened on Raw just now.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

He's black and not built like a brick shithouse. Clearly, he must dance.

In fairness, Titus O'Neil and "Black John Cena" Darren Young are both built like brick shithouses, and still must dance, bro.

Vince's rules, not mine.

Highs are about average, lows are ridiculously low. I'd give it a 4 overall.

 

[slightconfuse]

random as hell but Lethal conseuqces reunin next

 

[Raw64life]

lol at both a Wii U and PS4 commercial during Raw "Presented by Xbox One".

 

[Ithil]

Did he not have his NXT entrance?

Most of the audience at @WWE #RAW in Nashville, TN looks like Wyatt Family members in @JohnCena t-shirts.

LOL

 

[spindashing]

spotted bald mark henry

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Did he not have his NXT entrance?

Nope. The only introduction he got was when he was getting into the ring by R-Truth to let everybody know who he was. It was weird.

 

[slightconfuse]

see you guys in a few miuntes!

 

[Dark Ninja]

No video package build up, thrown out there randomly, thrown out there with Rtruth to get the rub from. WWE has zero confidence in Xavier Woods

 

[RBH]

*changes channel as fast as humanly possible*

 

[Officerrob]

Do they have enough guitar players?

 

[Ithil]

Nope. The only introduction he got was when he was getting into the ring by R-Truth to let everybody know who he was. It was weird.

That's....fucking stupid. How is that a way to debut someone?

Though come to think of it weren't Truth and Xavier a tag team at one point in TNA? Odd to see a TNA tag team reunited in WWE.

 

[Dark Ninja]

That guy looks like Heath Slater but he can't sing as well as Slater

 

[Pristine_Condition]

I'm from Texas and have no idea who these guys are...

Why is Jimmy Jacobs playing guitar for this band?

 

[Alucard]

Me during this segment:

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Not enough pyro.

 

[krae_man]

LOL like WWE could break the Superdome attendance record:

No chance in hell the Fire Marshall will let them get close to that.

 

[Alucard]

Why is Jimmy Jacobs playing guitar for this band?

This gives me an excuse to post the first of this excellent 3-part 15-minute documentary about Jacobs' struggles with drugs and his rehab:

Truly inspiring stuff.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

That was some stellar camerawork for Punk's entrance

[slightconfuse]

Big E is the new intercontinetal champ.

great! cant wait fro him to job every week!

If that were true, they'd have Ohno'd him.

I'm more of a fan of this style of debut than the thing they did with Fandango where they tease him for seven months and have him debut to silence because no one cares anymore. Which isn't to say it's good, but surprise is better than beating people over the head into apathy. Commentary kept on point with him through the match, which was surprising. They focused on his Ph. D. and academic credentials over his 90s style or anything else. JBL also continued his Clueless NXT GM character: "Oh, that's Xavier Woods!"

Problem with that kind of debut is it leaves the live audience completely clueless, since they don't have commentary to explain who the hell that is. But whatever, it's only the start of his run and he'll freshen up the mid card.

 

[Showaddy]

That still baffles me. They hype up his fight with Harper, puts on a great match with Harper and then...Released 2 days later?

 

[slightconfuse]

USOs shirts looking good

Clueless is fine. You can work with clueless. All Xavier needed to do was show up, distinguish himself, which he did. It leads into a true intro later on, like Smackdown or next week's RAW. Get it right and it can draw interest which can easily build momentum.

To be fair, that match had been filmed weeks beforehand.

 

[Ithil]

I really hate how the commentary doesn't shut up for a second during the Wyatt entrance. It can't exactly be spooky when they won't stop yapping.

 

[JesseEwiak]

Big E is the new intercontinetal champ.

great! cant wait fro him to job every week!

Only losers like Ziggler and Axel lose as IC Champ. Future main eventers and real stars like Big E. just continue to win.

 

[somedevil]

Luke Harpers shirt looks extra distgusting tonight.

 

[slightconfuse]

Crowd is hot for Big Show!

True enough, and to be fair I missed the segment. Guys like Fandango and even the Wyatts' first matches fell kinda flat because of the hype up beforehand.

 

[ramoisdead]

This should be a great 12-man tag match.

 

[somedevil]

Did they just cut out on a big over the top rope moment?

Also, there is an Age of the Fall reunion going on.
