RAW 17-11-14

Stereomaniac

I'm not impressed that Sheamus has been written out of the pay per view, and the main event.

grames_bond

^^ totally agree with all this! Actually thought I wrote it for a second! :pac:

Stereomaniac

It's crap, like. I mean, I was looking forward to seeing him in the main event for this month again!

rossie1977

something on raw makes the front page of rte.ie

Lord TSC

Have noticed it on a few sites actually.

Was worried the cat was drugged though. Looked so tired all show...

Stereomaniac

Entertainment had it this morning as well, with a link to the video of The Miz and Damien Sandow. Does anyone here have anything to do with them? I know Rovert said he had contacts.

Yeah writing out Sheamus was a bit strange, especially when you consider everything they've put Ziggler through in the last month and yet he's still going to fight on. Wonder what the thinking behind it was.

I was hoping Cesaro would be on Team Cena, he would be better than Rowan imo


Anyone else not liking the Ambrose Vs. Bray feud

Wouldn't be shocked to seer him get involved and screw Cena. I just can't see anybody else on team cena turning heel, Ziggler, Show and Ryback all been done quite a bit recently.

Sheamus on team authority would be a great fit.

Stereomaniac

I find it a bit strange that the other 2 are in the main event and he isn't.

And as Cena didn't come and help any of his team during their matches, so Sheamus has good reason too unless Rowan is part of HHH's plan B or C or D

It's Raw they have to fill the time some how. I wouldn't be reading too much into it. I can see them getting bored of Ryback once Reigns comes back.

I dunno, I still reckon it was a test for something, if you want to fill time you don't pick Ryback and it was very strange to see him take so many power moves.

Might have been as simple as a test to see how he goes in a longer match and Cesaro decided he was going to make himself look good not just Ryback.

BMMachine

why is Mark Henry wrestling and not Cesaro?
Mark Henry has been terrible since 1996 yet here he is, taking up a FAR BETTER wrestlers spot for no good reason.

oh sorry, he had a run with the bad title that was surprisingly not shit which lasted a few months. And they wonder why they can't get anyone new over..

Lord TSC

That and Henry isn't thick enough to publicly bad mouth Cena and WWE booking :pac:

DM_7

I got to watch the whole show and enjoyed most of it.

What I didn't like:

Genuinely haven't a clue what the whole Grumpy Cat thing was about. No interest in anything to do with the Bellas and Rose v the Bunny is bad.

The feel of the rest of the show with so many people involved in the storyline around the main event at Survivor Series added a lot to the show. Team Authority taking people out and team Cena finally forming at the end were great.

Good to see Harper as IC champ, Ziggler needs to move onto something new, hopefully not a feud with Harper though as Harper needs to be on a winning streak.

Never thought I would see the crowd and even myself happy/genuinely interested in Erik Rowan.

Hoping someone gets taken out of team Authority on Smackdown or early in the PPV to make Triple H join his own team.

Really liking Rusev's work these days as he shows more persnality than just letting Lana speak for him.

PTH2009

Heard a rumour that triple h got a Job with a top sports company so losing Sunday would be the oblivious way to write him out of wwe

I hate singles matches at Survivor Series, should be traditional 4 or 5 man team matches the whole night.
I remember the first one in ’87, with the tag match involving 20 lads, madness and f*ck all actual wrestling but, like the Rumble, great to watch.
I think the SS concept is brilliant for building up storylines/feuds, and prolonging them without actual one on one matches / title matches
The concept they used in ’90 was brilliant, the face/heel survivors in each match teaming up for one last match at the end



Just spotted this as well on the wiki page - Rick Rude was replaced by Haku after being suspended by WWF President Jack Tunney for insulting the mother of the Big Boss Man; in reality, the "suspension" explained Rude's departure from the WWF over a dispute. – Now that’s how you walk out of a company, CM Punk!

Great memories of this. Takers debut I believe

DM_7

When Cena goes on a ra ra ra speech we probably all feel like this.

kronsington

I know this ppv is free but not having at least one more traditional tag match or world title match is just odd. Maybe they'll announce something on smack down. There are so many guys to choose from to make decent teams

Moneymaker

Just leaving this here;

Ageyev

WWE 2K15 graphics looking good there.

CastorTroy

I'm confused now. I didn't see a contract being signed. :pac:

Better hope Miz and Mizdow split before Rumble or Mizdow will have no chance of winning, if he has to eliminate himself.

Seeing the Bellas match reminded me that next Monday will be about the end of Brie's servitude. I'm sure everyone was really wondering about that

BMMachine

aw come on that Bellas storyline has been nothing but gold. Reminded me of the Macho Man - DDP feud of 97. So many memorable moments and who can forget all the deadly catchphrases such as "Its me, #Briemode" and "you are a sister".
It totally hasnt been a complete waste of everyones time

More like what they have put Ziggler through the last few years.

Yep.
Sadly, also the Gobbledy Gooker's....

Also, 12 of the wrestlers who appeared that night have since passed away

Stereomaniac

I would have thought that it was more, for some reason. That was one of the first pay per views that I ever saw as a child, on a rented video. I probably wasn't even in primary school yet. But yeah, you know you're getting older when the WrestleMania numbers go into 3 numerals.

WMIII? :pac:

3 x's I meant, sorry. I noticed that as soon as I typed it. Thankfully I don't remember III so well.
