WWE Raw Discussion II

[Flipo-52]

Rousey vs Sasha sounds a million times better than Jax vs Rousey

Sasha's performance far better than Nia Jax, but both of them child against Rousey.

I really don't like that they're calling Ronda v Nia the biggest raw women's match ever... What about Sasha v Charlotte in HIAC? Or pretty much any of the Sasha v Charlotte matches... All were a huge deal compared to this underwhelming build of Ronda v Nia. Not okay with that.

"Underwhelming" is putting it lightly. If they really want to sell this as the biggest Raw women's match ever, they're sure not treating it like that.

They obviously want to push Ronda straight to the title (not sure that's a great idea to start with, but w/e), but they have a face champion that they want to keep a face, so this build has all the heat of a bowl of ice cream. Last night where Nia was supposed to feel guilty about Natty tweaking her knee coming off the ropes was unbelievably badly done.

And "Lone Wolf" Corbin siding with the Authority literally makes the opposite of sense.

After tag team battle royal, the winning celebration of B-Team was so funny.

I honestly wished Lashley stayed in TNA and Lashley himself must be thinking that himself, this feud has to be one of the worst things i've seen. What does Vince have against Zayn other than he's a bit small and isn't a roided up, 6'6 former football player (i mean Zayn's mic skills have come leaps and bounds to the point where he's really good, he's also probably the 2nd best in ring competitor in the company after AJ Styles). If one guy could make the jump to New Japan main eventer from WWE, it is Zayn (I'd say he'd arguably be as good, if not better than Omega is now and he's a bit younger than him also). Guessing Zayn isn't on a million also which means he could very well get similar money also. Its worth a shot since they're not giving him a main event push now at least.

Baron with his head shaved looks good. so much better then him clinging to his hair

[bestnamezRtaken]

Corbin looks legit now. I can take him serious now.

[Stanford]

Holy ****, what a difference. He's borderline handsome now, which can't be good for his heat. It's too bad he can't grow a proper beard.

So Constable Corbin's role could be similar to Corporate Kane's?

Telling that the only posts from after raw are about constable Corbin...

I thought both fatal four ways were pretty decent. Rest of the show was forgetable

Raw was decent. I did enjoy both fatal four way matches. Dolph and Drew were aight, just a squash match. The whole B Team thing is fine, I think people like them more for their celebrations. Hopefully they have a big plan for this team and hopefully it's not to have them completely squashed by Hardy and Wyatt. No interest in Curt Hawkins or his losing streak, do not care. Roman and Jinder is a snooze fest. Seth v Elias has been an okay feud. The Sami/Bobby thing was...well it happened. I was glad that Sami just attacked him and didn't attempt the course. I was half waiting for Bobby to slip up on something but knew he'd finish it. Hopefully after their match at MITB, that'll be done. Shame they had Brock beat Punk's record but I imagine Vince did it to stick it to him, whatever.

Yeah sorry man it was just "new" and most have been pleading for Corbin to cut his hair.

Matches were ok for me. I think I'm already conditioned that we have solid workers, but I just can't get invested because of the storylines presented.

[iMoreland]

That Rousey segment was awesome

[iMoreland]

DOLPH, why?

And he needs to do something with his hair, people talked about how bad Baron's hair was, Dolph's is 10x worse

[tugs]

I like it. It starts Dolph and Drew's conquest for gold. Don't see him going after Brock right now so there's a chance he'll challenge Braun for his briefcase. Or, Braun goes after Brock and Drew keeps on showing up in all his matches, watching, distracting. Once he cashes in, Drew screws him or attacks him after winning.


And I think Rollins is legit injured ao probably they'll take him out.

[Stanford]

Ronda proves that swinging a weapon is an actually skill in wrestling. A skill she does not possess.

Awesome segment though.

[Wo1verine]

FFS can we please stop with the RR vs. Lesnar garbage already?

[heatwillbeback]

Ok. Lashley cannot be allowed to open his mouth.

[Picasso]

The dominator. But he should have someone talk for him. And I'd really like to see lashley vs Lesnar.

[improper]

The character assassination WWE has done on Bobby Lashley is honestly ridiculous. He came in as an instantly credible world champ and they took two months to turn him into a damn joke.

[Scott Hall]

Ronda Rousey might be a Roddy Piper mark but she's got some Ultimate Warrior in her...

She's got that Warrior intensity, energy and aggression that makes her matches interesting and fun to watch.
She might not be technically sound and execute all her moves perfectly and sometimes she'll do moves where
you're like what was that? or never seen before but they look cool. She also has some wild strikes and doesn't know
how to swing a weapon like Warrior but the biggest difference is she's obviously faaar more advanced in submissions
then he was.

Another comparison is Goldberg who didn't come from a Sports Entertainment background but had that intensity, energy
and aggression that translated into fun matches and the audience enjoys it and gets behind a bad ass character.

I've always enjoyed characters like that and think they have a place on the roster and not everybody has to/can be
a Bret Hart or Kurt Angle or a Shawn Michaels and AJ Styles.
