Would you be my new best friends?

The end to Roman/Finn just sucked all my enthusiasm for the show out, which is a shame because I wasn't minding it at all up to that point.

This looks good!

The only time I flipped over from the Penguins/Senators game was when Alexa Bliss NAILED Bayley with a kendo stick. Jesus, that looked nasty.

Roman is the right man in the right place at the wrong time.

Also he'd be far better as a heel. I don't know if I've said that yet.

Are you sure I'm winning the Rumble? That does'nt seem right.....

So I just watched the video. The commentary was doing a great job of setting up that Finn might beat Roman this time, but dangit Roman's got an injured arm, it isn't a fair fight!

Then Roman wins anyway. So a practically 1 armed Roman beat Finn, huh? Their way of booking Roman to piss people off sure works on me :mad:

Before Alexa, the last person I can remember who turned the WHAT chants onto the crowd was the Undertaker, which was in the early 2000s

I agree. I hated that run where Finn headlined multiple Wrestlemanias and all writing focused on building him up as the best hero ever while fans booed endlessly.

I'm surprised they're looking to wait until mania to have reigns beat brock.

that, plus the longest title reign record probably means a lot of hotshot title changes to get him to 20 reigns.

Personally I feel like the Roman fans just want to have sex with him and have to justify it to themselves.

It was a lot of fun shitposting with all my friends in the RAW thread. I think that was the most fun I've had in a RAW thread, usually it's Smackdown Live!

The show itself was mediocre but you guys kept it entertaining. It was hard to keep up the pace in the third hour though... RAW is just too drat long.


Ahahaha her face and tone for "SWEAT GLAND of America" were great, but I think my favorite part was that Newark cheered that line. It wasn't until she called them all losers that they turned on her.

And this marks the second time she's dunked on 'what' chants, it isn't really hard to do but for some reason everyone else just lets the crowd overwhelm them.

Gumball Gumption

With the what chants you can easily go to "if you're an idiot say what" because the crowd will want to do it. They want to be part of the show and will happily dunk on themselves for that.

Bayley is the first person I can remember that sold a Kendo stick like it actually hurt. Some wrestlers get whacked and just flinch, she flew out of the ring and screamed in agony.

Finn/Roman was a bad idea straight up but it would've benefitted from either winning on a roll up out of nowhere rather than a definitive victory. You save that for a later date with build up.

Great match, though. Same for Ambrose/Miz.

I know they won't book it, but having Joe win the 5-Way and facing Bronk would be the sweatiest most red faced hoss off of all time.

When the drug test comes back positive for performance enhancing drugs.
People are trying really hard to hate on Balor because he's another "Chosen One" but instead of being bad, he is good and cool. So people are actually accepting of him to succeed.

It's almost like when someone is handpicked and also doesn't nap for 20 minutes of his 30 min matches, can actually do feats of strength, and can actually talk slightly better than a wooden dummy, an audience will meet you halfway.

Joe vs Lesnar would be really fun

Balor is in the same category as Orton and Reigns to me. They're technically and athletically proficient and can have great matches, but they're all terrible on the mic and have boring characters.
