RAW Superthread

Jesus when did Sheamus's kick get so strong. Knocking a monster like Braun out of the ring like a fly lol

Actually a decent team raw in the making

TimesArrow

I actually can’t stand McIntyre now.. they’ve turned him into a Cena type. A dork, unfunny who try’s way too hard.

Raw from the “award winning and critically acclaimed” Thunderdome? Award winning?

CastorTroy

So Tucker loses quickly to Ricochet then gets beat down by the job squad. I didn't even recognise him until the card came up.
And after losing repeatedly to Hurt Business they attack the guy who Hurt Business stopped attacking.
Wonder if Mia will ever do anything apart from whatever last week was.

Jesus could Tucker be presented as more of a generic 90s jobber?

Why not just keep him off TV for a few weeks then re-debut as a new character/persona instead of having him turn on his best friend then be jobbed out on his first singles outing.

I hope he didn't commision those tights. They looked like something he made an hour before the match!

Edit: R-Truth is amazing...

Not only is the “brand supremacy” premise of Survivor Series total garbage and pointless, they’re now shoe horning in angles about how the captaincy is supposed to mean something ( which it never Has). All they have to do is add some stakes and logic as to why these matches and ass some real stakes and consequences. After SS, the results of the previous night are never mentioned. It’s so warped and bizarre. Guaranteed, Drew will have some of match against AJ/Braun for the skipper role and win that match fairly handily

Couldn't make out what he said. What was it?

Agent Coulson

I saw someone online say the WWE are going to turn Retribution onto their version of The Dark Order by recruiting losers and Tucker will be their next target to join.


There maybe some truth to that.

Worse than jobber as with the Knight on his tights, it reminded me of a ****e caw I would create in a game with my name on the tights.

I love how 3/4 of team Raw were on SD up until a few weeks and now are Raw to the core ago:pac::pac:

Yeah and then doing the Orton vs Reigns champ vs champ thing in the middle of it. Despite all the ****e both men are dealing with now (obv reigns is in less bother)

Agent Coulson

A 1.65 rating that's got to be one of the lowest.

CastorTroy

Finally seems like Mia might get her chance to lose as well

Hour three drew 1.455 million viewers, the lowest third hour viewership in Raw history. No surprise when the product is as bad as it is.

CastorTroy

Meant to say Lee was lucky with that dive. Could've gone very wrong.

Yeah something like winning captain or survivors get title match at rumble, while losing team captain gets no.1 in rumble with the others being in top 10 spots automatically. Could do it for both men and women rumble.

Would involve a long term thought process behind it though, which they generally dont have

Very lucky. His head brushed the ring apron.

I know it's supposed to be impressive, and it is, but we've seen a lot of big men do those moves already so it loses a lot of its impact. He doesn't need to be doing that stuff.

CastorTroy

He's done it before but he didn't seem to get the right height or jumped too late

Agent Coulson

One of these big men is going to break their neck or kill themselves doing those dives over or through the ropes.

I miss the times when I thought Survivor Series was actually an important PPV with a bit of meaning behind it.. I still think it's a great premise but god they have made it so bland with these interpromotional contests

Jeff v Elias v Riddle for a spot on the SS team?

Surely Drew is going to take the final place somehow

Massive meh for Survivor Series, bloody brand warfare after what 2/3 weeks after the draft

PTH2009

Titus have a match, that's rare but it was just to get Bobby over

PTH2009

Nice owl celtic banter between Drew and Sheamus

JP Liz V1

I'd love to see Sheamus get another world title singles reign

TimesArrow

Survivor Series code names?? Is the way they make Keith Lee speak supposed to convince us he’s an intellectual?

And can they please retire the 24/7 title once and for all. That match was an absolute joke

CastorTroy

Tucker is a 2 time champion. It's not a good sign when members of 2 popular teams are now 24/7 competitors.

What was with Charly emphasising the tag title shot with "None other than the New Day". As opposed to the other Raw tag champions?

For Mandy, it looked like she just landed awkwardly. though earlier in the night when they had the backstage bit with Lana, I was a bit worried that she looked cold.

And did Retribution actually get a win?

J. Marston

What is with Tucker's attire? Don't wanna be mean but he's wearing something you'd see on an indie guy in a backyard show.
