This is the kind of silly shit I thought I would be seeing all the time when I started watching wrestling.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

We all know rock is saving new day

 

[ScribbleD]

How has this been so far compared to NXT Takeover Dallas?

The ladder mach was a good spotfest with a surprise ending. The AJ/Jericho match was an AJ/Jericho match in which Jericho was put over and they're now 2-2 so get hype for another AJ/Jericho match.

Overall: Not great, but not awful yet.

 

[Zombegoast]

Wade not in the match?

 

[serenewarfare]

Vince's pettiness

But what is the pettiness? Barrett is still on the show. If it were just Vince being petty, why not just leave Barrett off the show entirely?

 

[Future Foundation]

OMG WAIT

WHAT IF NEW DAY WINS AND THEN LON STARTS BEATING THEM DOWN AFTER THE MATCH

AND SUPER SAIYAN JOHN CENA COMES OUT

OMG

I was hoping Xavier would summon him with Francesca like a Dragonzord, but this works too.

 

[Ultratech]

wow, barrett doesn't get to wrestle? that is some petty shit.

It sucks, but he'd crumble if he got in the ring.

 

[KazenY2J]

Rusev came out in a fucking tank last year, look where he is now.

Best entrance last year

 

[Glorified G]

He has to beat Chris Jericho to do this...why?

It's even more hilarious when Fandango went over Jericho in his WM debut. I wonder where AJ will be in a year from now.

 

[Dark Ninja]

I can't believe they made AJ lose. He'll recover but still. Welcome to the Big leagues KID!

 

[Angry Grimace]

Stream keeps reverting to potato quality

 

[TimeEffect]

Poor Barrett. Feel really crummy for him

 

[Sanjuro]

It's even more hilarious when Fandango went over Jericho in his WM debut. I wonder where AJ will be in a year from now.

The movie ticket website beat Jericho!?

 

[luchadork]

Did you just start watching the WWE or something? Having a guy lose on the biggest show of the year to a part-time wrestler is a really bad sign for AJ. His heat is going to slip away and then Vince is going to get bitter that he's paying all this money to a mid-card guy. At this rate AJ will be back in a Japan by 2018.

he's been in the company for 3 months. is getting paid millions. has had a strong showing at royal rumble. won his debut match on raw against a hall of famer. has been a main raw story line since then. and just had a feature match at wrestlemania. 3 months bro. you guys need to chill and just relax.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Rusev just needs to go to Cena gym for the legs and he'll be a beast/phenom

 

[Covfan]

Next year New Day should come out as Team Rocket.

 

[NYR]

So considering the battle royal still hasn't happened, my money would be Cena showing up and winning it?

 

[Kuroyume]

Rusev is great

 

[Nelo Ice]

I need a healthy serving of Booty O's hahahaha.

 

[Rhaknar]

Money is why AJ took so long to get to WWE. All reports say that he's making a shit load from WWE. Dude's almost 40, he's ready to get paid and retire in the biggest wrestling promotion in the world. Dude has done everything else in his career.

I guess. Didnt realise he was almost 40, he was putting on a showstopper against Nakamura just last year

 

[Jimmy King]

Can WWE hire back Yoshi Tatsu to shoot on Sheamus for being a career ender?

 

[joeposh]

Might this be where we see The Rock? League of Nations has numbers...

 

[Rellik]

Um wow

So the battle Royale went from pre show to pretty high up on the timeslot

It'll probably be used to separate one of the big matches

 

[The Silver]

It sucks, but he'd crumble if he got in the ring.

He still injured?

 

[imBask]

I can't believe they made AJ lose. He'll recover but still. Welcome to the Big leagues KID!

will he though? I mean he's not in charge of the booking, for all we know he'll be in a feud with Kane over a pancake meal bill

Spoiler

and lose

 

[Simply Sami]

Um wow

So the battle Royale went from pre show to pretty high up on the timeslot

Means Cena winning it.

 

[Podge293]

But what is the pettiness? Barrett is still on the show. If it were just Vince being petty, why not just leave Barrett off the show entirely?

Well he's out there. He won't really get a mention beyond "and accompanying" and he gets to see the rest do it on the big stage??

Or he's carrying an injury of some sort.

I'm just guessing here

 

[serenewarfare]

I expected people to freak if AJ lost, but goddamn you'd think they had him lose in five seconds and then bad mouthed him for forty minutes based on the reactions here.

 

[Data West]

Can WWE hire back Yoshi Tatsu to shoot on Sheamus for being a career ender?

wouldn't he shoot on aj then

 

[TraBuch]

As someone who's kind of been ignoring Raw lately, when did the New Day become faces?

 

[chogidogs]

Can WWE hire back Yoshi Tatsu to shoot on Sheamus for being a career ender?

Yes.

 

[thefro]

I guess. Didnt realise he was almost 40, he was putting on a showstopper against Nakamura just last year

3 months ago, lol

 

[saltine161]

Hopefully Barrett does something this match

 

[slightconfuse]

Russv is the best

 

[Sanjuro]

As someone who's kind of been ignoring Raw lately, when did the New Day become faces?

When they got boring. I'm not sure the route they are taking from here out.

 

[Jimmy King]

wouldn't he shoot on aj then

Not if he wants to protect his neck.

 

[Uno Venova]

So when did Rusev start to wear boots.

 

[Jopie]

Um wow

So the battle Royale went from pre show to pretty high up on the timeslot

It has to be a cool down spot after something huge now, or it makes no sense to me.

 

[Trojan X]

The ladder mach was a good spotfest with a surprise ending. The AJ/Jericho match was an AJ/Jericho match in which Jericho was put over and they're now 2-2 so get hype for another AJ/Jericho match.

Overall: Not great, but not awful yet.

Thanks for the update, ScribbleD. Glad you provided a clear answer rather than the Youtube esque responses that I have received so far.

 

[justjim89]

Xavier has transitioned wonderfully from annoying manager to sympathy-magnet.

 

[TimeEffect]

Cena will save New Day.

Cesaro going to redeem his career with a new theme and Battle royale win

Plz

 

[sf2fanatic]

Hopefully Barrett does something this match

I'mafraidIhavesomebad news.gif

 

[Tagyhag]

wow, barrett doesn't get to wrestle? that is some petty shit.

Yeah it's a real shame but at least he'll be much happier wherever he goes (I really hope NJPW).

 

[NYR]

So when did Rusev start to wear boots.

When he hurt his foot like a year and a half ago from not wearing boots.

 

[Razorskin]

Crazy how that gimmick didn't bury them. Great guys all around.

 

[Kusagari]

Um wow

So the battle Royale went from pre show to pretty high up on the timeslot

It's probably going to be the new bathroom break match instead of the women's.

 

[Lyte Edge]

So, will there actually be a reason for this match, or will Meltzer be full of shit?

Hmm

What did Meltzer say?

 

[Kuroyume]

New Day were heels against Jericho, Styles, and Mark Henry like 3 weeks ago

 

[Data West]

There's so much misused talent in this match. Rusev, Big E

uhh.... um

 

[Dark Ninja]

wow, barrett doesn't get to wrestle? that is some petty shit.

Theres rumors he's leaving soon
