    Shane probably start sniffing coke off the strippers next week.

    It really is awful.

    You'd think Shane would be more mellow since when the door opens to Underground, the amount of smoke makes it seem more like The Rascals' tree house from Impact

    Sure why would they want to surprise us with a main roster debut?

    It’s all about ratings that’s why you sacrifice the one thing your show used to have when it had ratings of 4.0 and above The element of surprise.

    There is zero reward for tuning in week in week out.

    It’s like watching a drama show with absolutely no twists or turns but there’s 52 episodes a season of it. Where the hook to keep people interested in it?

    Will Keith Lee get a win on his Raw debut if so against who, Lashley, Rollins?

    Depends on how he debuts..... he might just run in for a save on someone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,062 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    And new 24/7 champion.

    I suppose. Though advertising a guy who only fans would know from NXT, so likely already watch Raw on a PPV that those who mostly watch Raw would see seems pointless.
    Of course they could go the crazy route and do something at Summerslam to make people want to tune in, like the Roman run in out Asuka winning.

    Do we know who's facing Banks and Bayley next Sunday?

    As long as he's kept clear of Raw Underground. "Sick bro!"

    If they can get the piped in sound better, and maybe give everyone a neutral background so it's not so bright....... I think this Thunderdome might just work....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,113 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    So can we assume Nia the monster heel with now team up with her enemy for the tag titles, weird booking

    A Benoit pic, a KKK rally and an execution video all made their way on to the Thunderdome last night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Randy's punt missed by more than a Cena punch.

    These camera cuts are making the show more unwatchable than the crappy storylines.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Solid Snake Black.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Truth is brilliant I sometimes think is gimmicks make you forget how good a wrestler he actually is and he is also the oldest wrestler who is active week in week out in the company he is in some shape for a 48 year old.

    The devastating punk kick has now been shown to be a nothing move with Shawn no selling it last week and Drew taking two of them this week and yet is fine to take out Randy later in the show.


    Keith Lee's debut was kind of blown off when Drew interfered.

    That 3rd punt should take him out for a month at least if they really want to sell it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Young Dom is defiantly paying his dues with the amount of beatings he has taken over the last few weeks.

    The lad can bump and sell so thats a good start.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,645 ✭✭✭RollieFingers


    Benoit and the KKK in the Thunder Dome, Orton hitting fresh air punts, WWE is a sloppy shop.

    Solid Snake Black.

    *Pushes glasses up nose*

    Well, achsually, it should be Naked Snake Black or Punished Snake Black...

    Big Boss Black works too, I guess.

    :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,349 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    TSC put on his MGS nerd glasses just before me!

    Typical call-up nonsense again with Lee. New generic theme that replaces his instantly recognisable and catchy original one. New gear that covers him up (Vince probably doesn't like that he doesn't have chiselled abs) and something that looks like a woman's tennis skirt.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 773 ✭✭✭TimesArrow


    Is there a reason they changed Lee’s music and made him wear a shirt? Do they he’s too fat for Raw and want to cover him up? Genuine question

    Yeah I was trying to tell if it was a skirt or not. I assumed shorts but hard to tell.
    Expected the match to go that way. Can't have Randy losing and have to keep Keith looking string for a week at least.

    So Shayna and Nia(who I'm still not clear on the suspension status of) have suddenly decided to put their rivalry aside to get a shot at the tag titles ahead of proper teams. Oh how we love this logic.

    If what was said above is true about appearing on screens, I can see changes coming to it.

    And they need to control the volume on the "fans". They were nearly louder than Drew when he was talking. Some seemed to be booing him.

    Oh and what was the point of that Natalya/Lana thing? The only good thing from it was seeing Mickie
