WWE Raw Superthread

Literally the second they got their brief use out of the women's tag belts for a PPV, they're already tearing the devision apart again. Back to just 2 teams now, both of which were only even created in the last month. Gonna see a whooooole lot of Sasha & Naomi Vs Shayna and Natalya...

Otherwise, a few alright bits, but a lot to just skip through.

<edit> Also, why do all these big lads have to be portrayed as practically feral personality-less beasts? Like, the extent of them usually is, they're big, and they go "Raarrrrrr!"

Well, they completely ripped up the script and had the champion get pinned in a six man.....

So edge is the Monday night Messiah now and Elias is his own younger brother........

Fair play to WWE, spunking away any mania goodwill that fast actually has to take effort.

Wasn't Raw meant to be epic though? WWE have the momentum and passion back to stick it to the smarks so it must have been good.

I didn't watch RAW and won't after seeing the reviews of it being bad.

Here is my take on what was once the best and most fun show of the year in the WWE.

First and foremost the WWE ie Vince has killed it because he did not like the BIZARRO fans having fun on Monday Night RAW.

Secondly RAW used to be the last show on a weekend that included only one Wrestlemaina not two.

Now you also have a Wrestlemaina festival of wrestling weekend with so many other promotions there that so many of the international fans go to on this weekend and pack in as much wrestling as possible not just WWE so by the time they now get the final show of the weekend they are totally burnt out and all they want to do is go home and not watch a crappy WWE show that is counter progarmmed so they won't enjoy it.

It looks like it but I hope it's not a House of Black knock-off. They are are shíte anyway, like the vast majority of spooky/occult stuff in wrestling. What do they actually do? They've been trying to possess a cheerleader for about 6 months at this stage.

Someone would want to pull Malachy Black aside and just tell him "You're not half as cool as you think you are, no more creative control for you."

I was close suggesting Elias when we get his younger brother.

So now they don't have a number 1 contender's match, they just have a championship contender's match against the champions which they lose and still get a title shot? Though I guess they didn't really lose since it was an illegal tag at the end since Naomi wasn't holding the tag rope. 😀

So all the talk from Veer and having his eyes on a target, and it was Dominik?

Who were Zelina and Carmella meant to fight?

Expected someone to come out for the save with AJ instead of just officials.

Elias/Ezekiel could be Ciampa  with out the beard.

Brody getting attacked for his tweet 😂 Seems like some members of the WWE Universe can be a tad over-sensitive!

I'm only replying to talk in the thread man, don't take it so seriously.

Didn't notice any of your mmm bait posts under any of the smarks, Meltzer Cultists, Khan fanboys etc. posts you see around here (which are all good btw, it's just a bit of craic). Maybe be better there.

KO calling out The Rock for Mania 39 confirmed then

So Cody "focus group" Rhodes, who wasted the cm punk promo he had written before the ink was dry on Phil's contract because he knew he wouldn't get a match with him, pulled that promo out of his ass?

Add being a liar to reasons he's the absolute worst.

Actually, did he say not scripted by WWE? I fully believe ender of racism Cody Rhodes has his own writer that he pays out of pocket.

Thought it was just me, fairly odd the thread has suddenly vanished

Getting a nice surprise tonight, jesus how can you get worse then Butch and the Viking Experience

Marcel Barthel is now "Ludwig" or "Ludwig Klaus" apparently! Who comes up with these names?!

Ludwig kaiser

Not the worst tbh

The name's are alright... Gunther, and Ludwig Kaiser.... but fcking hell, did they really need to dress Gunther up as something of a militaristic Nazi throwback, and call him the "Ring General", with a big title of "Gunther Invades", while Europe is at war? Seems in really poor taste right now. (or ever really, but especially right now). It's like they literally couldn't think of a single thing to do with a German or Austrian that isn't just "WW2".

His music is also basically the beginning of the 1989 Batman theme, but that's neither here nor there..

<edit> Bit of a weird show... only 4 matches, and they were all short. Felt like a loooot of promos, packages, and recaps.

Just did a quick scan back through - there was 16 minutes of actual wrestling matches on screen in total.
