cena once again being part of a match that lifts itself up from who gives a shit to hanging on every pin

i wonder if he will actually drop the title before his time off or if he'll just take it on hiatus. he's still active through to hell in a cell, right? maybe he'll drop it there

I got a feeling he'll defend it against the entire New Day at HiaC and go over, then drop it to Roman on the Raw after HiaC before taking his hiatus.

 

[The Shapesmith]

Waiting for the Cardinals to pull out some LOLCENAWINS on the Cubs but it's not looking good. Chicago is hitting the cover off the ball right now.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

Sting so old that his own video is telling him to go into the light. It's OK Sting, you believe in heaven, just go.

So are people still overrating these formulaic ass Cena matches masquerading as 5 star classics?

Cause they're all the same. Big move big move big move big move big move big move, 5 million 2 1/2 counts AA OUTTA NOWHERE end

I agree, but as spotfests go, they're pretty entertaining and a good watch for Monday Night Raw.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Other than another debut or a return, who would really get you excited about the open challenge? Bo Dallas in a close match?

Not happening. Plus his last scheduled appearance is Hell in the Cell. After that he is gone.

Tyler Breeze

wouldn't make any sense for Breezus to set his sights on anything but the prettiest title in WWE, and that's the IC championship.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Tyler Breeze

That would be a debut. Kevin Owens would be a good serious one once he's established as a dominant IC champ (lol)

 

[SlipperyFishes]

Maybe he'd redesign it

I never understood how the "Cena US Open burying of the midcard" was a good thing, sure the loser gets to get their shit in, but at the end of the day they all lose and are right back to where they belong.

Cesaro had 2 great matches with Cena, and then a few months later he's jobbing out to Big Show twice, clean as a whistle.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Remember that classic tag team everyone likes? Well here's something not even close. HAVE FUN GO TO HELL!

Heath Slater

Because he's going to win

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Dropping it to Rusev ofc.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Fuck. This John Cena shit is ridiculous.
He kicked out of...
1. DDT off the top rope.
2. Sweet Chin Music.
3. Fame Asser
4. Zig Sag

Cena does 1 AA and wins. So dumb.

Nah HBK didn't do it

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Heath Slater

Because he's going to win

Tempted to kid that that would be a return, but there's nothing funny about the criminal lack of Heath Slater on their 10 million hours of weekly content.

Cesaro, Rusev or Ziggler if he turns heel.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

A Good macth is a good macth.

I don't think they're good matches though *shrug*

I agree, but as spotfests go, they're pretty entertaining and a good watch for Monday Night Raw.

But nearly every week? It's too much. I get that they have to fill 3 hours of quality television Every Monday Night™, but constant 20 minute WWE main event style spotfests gets tiring. They've completely diluted the late match miracle kick out, which admittedly happened a long time ago, but they've even killed it on TV matches now.

That Chrisley commercial just called that idiot The Mouth of the South.

brb gonna go fight everyone.

roman taking the US title might actually be a smart move. i cannot give a shit about him feuding with the wyatts, sorry!

 

[Jimmy King]

Hey, everyone, Lucha Underground is really good.

 

[TimeEffect]

Getting through 3 hours of Raw together is definitely a good trial run for a marriage

 

[Fox318]

listen to the people

 

[MC Safety]

Hey look at that, another US Open Challenge that produces a great match but does absolutely nothing for the challenger. Next week Dolph will be back to irrelevancy and it'll be like this never happened.

What is the match supposed to do for Dolph Ziggler except make him look good at the moment?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

RIP Barrett's balls.

 

[TraBuch]

So I got an Amazon Echo and it's pretty cool. Playing around with it while Raw bores me.

 

[UberTag]

None of these matches are supposed to do anything except fill time and make Cena look good. Don't waste the energy trying to think otherwise.
That said, when the alternative is Cena feuds with someone, loses the first match and then wins the next 4 while no-selling most of their offense... this is still better.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Wow man. You have all the hot scoopz. Next, you're gonna tell us Portia Perez is retiring.

Does it work well with Prime music stations and tune in radio?

 

[Ithil]

What a shitty finish.

 

[Fox318]

WHY?????

 

[Dick Justice]

Welp...at least Cesaro didn't get pinned?

 

[TraBuch]

Haven't messed with tune in much, but I said "Alexa, play Giant Bombcast" and it immediately started playing the last episode from tune in. Amazon Prime music works well.

 

[Shadow Broker]

Raws been on for almost 2 hours and all I can think about is watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Huluplus. I'm towards the end of season 2.


Edit: Chicago? Jeez they're dead. Chicago is usually more lively. Must be the Cubs game.

 

[BronsonLee]

Up Up Down Down getting that TV push
Xavier will finally get that Crunchyroll sponsorship!

Edit: SHUT THE FUCK UP JBL, DON'T TALK OVER COLE

Why don't you do that then?

big daddy diesel on the mic

 

[Jimmy King]

The only negative thing I have to say about LU is: we get it, you've got a camera above the ring.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Oh no, they're going to make Roman obnoxious again instead of just boring.

 

[MG310]

This would all make so much more sense if Bray continued to dominate the Rumble and all that Kane/Show stuff didn't happen.

 

[funkystudent]

OK. This is kinda fun to watch Roman trying to keep talking so they can't chant what.

 

[TraBuch]

The hell is he recapping everything for?

 

[Ithil]

I don't understand this promo. He's just reciting the events of the story?

 

[Shadow Broker]

Why don't you do that then?

Don't know. I'm hoping for a twist to grab my attention. Something is bound to give.

Some of us only spend a few minutes of the day in this thread rather than a few hours.
