That was a great moment, completely unexpected.

Taker looks awful though, he’s aged about 20 years in the last 5.

mcdaids69 · 09-04-2019 03:34AM

we looking at sting vs taker? saw sting quote something this week

PTH2009 · 09-04-2019 03:34AM

Taker back for more saudi pay days

Looks in great shape and could keep going for 1 or 2 more matches

Jesus what has braun done. Didn't appear on the mania main show or tonight's Raw

Necro · 09-04-2019 03:37AM

Why not just do that last night I wonder though.
I mean Thuganomics was a great pop but Taker at Mania would surely have been even better.
Weird.

PTH2009 · 09-04-2019 03:40AM

Emmm no reigns???

Will he appear here

Can’t understand all those idiots in the crowd filming this. You’ll probably not see Taker make that walk again, why waste it by watching it through your phone?

So they can have it on their phones to never look at again and post it on their Instagram where no-one will bother their arse watching it either.

The feck

J. Marston · 09-04-2019 03:50AM

Of all the interruptions they could've gone with this might be the biggest wet fart.

TimesArrow · 09-04-2019 03:52AM

"Bullsh*t" chant

martyos121 · 09-04-2019 03:54AM

All they care about is getting those third hour ratings. Once they have that, they’re more than willing to completely f**k us over.

TimesArrow · 09-04-2019 03:57AM

obnoxious fans here tonight

Deeper Blue · 09-04-2019 04:00AM

I enjoyed Mania but that was a dreadful episode of Raw, can't believe I stayed up for it

The Bar? Come on

PTH2009 · 09-04-2019 04:01AM

Reigns out in the ring now with Seth and Dean giving Ambrose a proper send off

seandotcomm · 09-04-2019 05:24AM

Thought Taker looked great tonight. Was there in the Barclay's centre and when people saw Cesaro and Sheamus run through the crowd there was a split second of excitement when we thought it was possibly Undisputed Era but maaaan who booked the feckin Bar to interrupt the main event of the post mania Raw. awful stuff. and the AEW chants were well deserved. I wouldnt normally be a fan of the smarky craic or the beachballs but once the bar appeared it was like... right lads, unleash the beachballs. baffling altogether

Lord TSC · 09-04-2019 07:59AM

The term “spinning their wheels” comes to mind, and in retrospect, we should have expected that with the draft next week. Their issue seemed to be they didn’t want to start up much meaningful in terms of feuds that would be dropped next week. Off the top of my head, the only “feud” that was started was Becky vs Lacy, which is a safe one to do cause it can happen on either show.

After that, it was basically a selection of one night only events and character moments. Every match was designed to push an individual rather than a story. Very little was designed to have a long lasting reason for happening.

Loughc · 09-04-2019 08:10AM

Strange Raw glad I didn’t watch it and just read the results. They neutered themselves with the shake up next week.

The bar and Zayn seems like a f you to the fans. Vince apparently livid as he’s given the fans the champions they wanted and they still sh!tted on Mania.

Lord TSC · 09-04-2019 08:52AM

Looks like one of the better segments of the show didn’t even air. Post Raw....

A Tombstone and a FU to Elias over 2 nights, that'll teach him

RollieFingers · 09-04-2019 10:54AM

Raw back to form, that was dreadful for the most part. No mention at all of the finish to the Mania main event? Seems strange that they'd go with a finish like that and not mention it, will only fuel rumours that it was botched.

When it happened, Graves was calling attention to it, asking for another replay....and then there was a silence that usually indicates Vince screaming at him to shut up, and no replay.

The shoulder wasn't meant to be up. Blame Ronda for bad positioning, blame Becky for an awkward roll up, blame the ref for being too eager (this is where I am), but I get the feeling Ronda is gone for a bit now. They will probably use it when she gets back, but they will have no intentions of making Becky look like an illegitimate champion in the meantime...

J. Marston · 09-04-2019 11:43AM

Why the Bar of all people? I was expecting a screwy finish but why not Lars in that case? Make him look like a monster right out the gate.

dusty bin · 09-04-2019 12:32PM

What a weekend so far, sleep patterns all over the shop. Fell asleep somewhere around 3.30 ish last night. I was expecting The U Era to debut as there was no way Seth was dropping the belt (and there were several ads promoting new day celebrating kofi's win on smackdown, so knew he wouldnt be dropping either) so delighted to have missed shembo and cesaro interupting.

Highs for me, from what I saw = Sami's promo and New day dancing to Seth's theme (Big E is amazing).

Dont remember seeing Braun Strowman, Reigns, Triple H who all won the night before, or Sasha, Nia, Natalya, Tamina, Beth P, Drew, Ronda, Brock and Riot Squad who all wrestled as Raw stars the night before. Did most of them get the night off? Richochet and Black + the bar were part of smackdowns matches. so to was new day, and becky (kinda).

let down of a raw awm.

J. Marston · 09-04-2019 01:27PM

I thought Taker looked terrible. Man looks like he's ageing at a rate of knots.

Lacey brawling in a short dress and heels wasn't very well thought out. She was half focused on beating up Becky and half focused on not showing the world her knickers.

Bayley seems so done. Even the international crowd gave her no reaction when she came out and could only muster a half-arsed "Heeeey Bayley!" before it petered out. It's a little sad, she was so beloved at one point.

Becky calling Ronda "Ya little weirdo" is so funny to me for some reason.

Sami hates smarks. Thought he looked in bad shape and the shaved head doesn't suit him. I'm sure he'd love that critique.

This is so true. The IIconics are some of the best at it. Almost all of their twitter/Youtube skits are better than the comedy bits WWE put on TV. Billie is hilarious...

its clear on the videos too they all look more natural cause there not being forced to say a script line by line.

i actually thought bayley/sasha got no real reaction at mania which shocked me i think they should be split in the draft and lets rebuild the characters especally bayley needs maybe even some time off tv

dusty bin · 09-04-2019 02:42PM

anyone else think Sami looked like mojo rawley, with the head shaved?

Thought he looked at Ambrose & feel his new gimmick will be much the same.
Bray Wyatt's inevitably failed return was teased by a Jim Henson muppet; I already don't want him back.

Pretty poor show yeah they have the draft next week but they had some Smackdown talent on the show and no real follow up on any big match at WrestleMania bar Angle vs Corbin

sirmanga · 09-04-2019 03:48PM

Wow! The content of Sami Zayn's promo last night was superb! And so true.

The only problem is that it was delivered by the wrong person. Imagine if Roman cut that promo.

Unfortunately, Zayn was totally the wrong man to deliver this kind of attack on the fans. The fans he was aiming his anger at are the same ones who mark out giddly for him as if he's The Rock, even though he is a bang average performer.
The fans are so up their own arse now, they even gave Zayn a round of applause after his fiery promo.
Good grief, spare me.
