    Peyton just can't wrestle she is clueless in there with Asuka

    WTF the ref actually disqualified him for interference in a Tag Match when was the last time that ever happened in the WWE the 1980's?

    I'm watching the Retribution angle on Youtube.

    Jeeeeeesus. Slapjack, T-Bar and Mace? Could they not have got Yim a mask that fit either? She keeps pawing at it as she talks. I actually don't think the guys look bad, actually. Three big lads look decent. But the names are awful.

    Slapjack and T-Bar :D Retribution out here looking like some third rate Slipknot tribute act, the state of them. Retribution, like Raw itself and the fight club, is the drizzling s*its!

    I can actually hear Vince in his voice giving them those names... like the time he met Droz and wanted to call him Puuuuuuuke... you're name is Puuuuuuuke.

    You're Maaaaace, T-Baaaaaar, and Slapjaaaaack

    The names are hilariously bad. As is the scripting. But in terms of in the ring there is ability there.

    Thats could be said so 90% of the roster. There's so many ultra talented people who get called up, have their legs swept out from under them with ****ty names and awful booking, and then Vince goes "None of these NXT guys draw!" and abandons them....

    Well we kinda knew Dijakovic wasn't going to be keeping his name. Though we also didn't realise he would be playing the part of Connor from Ascension.
    Wonder who that woman with the blue hair is. It's so hard to tell with that mask. :rolleyes:
    At least with the guys they make more of an effort.
    With Dijakovic and Yim, maybe it'll turn out Keith Lee is really the leader.
    I will say the 2 bigger guys looked massive.

    So did Rey sign a contract that would mean Raw would be 50% Mysterio? some superstars we see once or twice a night, but their story was throughout the whole episode.

    I was confused during with regard the woman's match this Sunday. the way everyone was stepping up, it seemed more like a build to some kind of multi person match.

    Oh and was that Pineapple Pete again?

    Keith Lee, case in point. New (worse) theme, new (worse) attire and booking...

    The name change is next. He'll be Limitless Lee in two months.

    Like whats the point of a mask if you can still clearly see who it is, e.g. like yim.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,950 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    Can't wait for Rey's daughter's forbidden romance storyline to kick off properly. Should be great.

    What age is the daughter?

    She would have to be at least 18 with this storyline.

    19 I think?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,060 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Rey said 19 for anyone watching at home that was worried about feeling guilty

    Retribution are just a cheap knock off version of the Shield.

    I'm not keen on it, seems creepy even though she is over 18

    Rey must have got a big pay contract for him and his family

    Worse they are a cheap knock off of aces and 8.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,420 ✭✭✭ThePott


    Oh god lord, Retribution.
    Dressed like Slipknot rejects and named like knock-off Transformers.
    What a disaster.

    Raw Underground isn't much better. Dreadful episode.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,060 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I was thinking they were named like a TLC tribute when I heard T-Bar

    Sanity is the correct answer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,591 ✭✭✭bennyl10


    That was.. that may have been the worst 3 hours of wrestling I’ve watched,

    There have been weeks that’s Vince has apparently rewritten right before that were better that this!

    Poor Dijakovic, poor Yim, they deserve much better than this S-storm

    I wonder what Keith lees opinion of his misses running around been a hellraiser

    They took Dio off commentary when he was doing an amazing job and gave him that sh1t gimmick.

    They also knock out Shane's heavy Dabba Kato in his first fight.

    How to kill two monsters in seconds.

    1.7, 1.6, 1.5 so it stayed steady enough across the 3 hours just a weak viewership.
