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

Agent Coulson · 22-09-2020 4:00am

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?

Lord TSC · 22-09-2020 8:34am

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.

RollieFingers · 22-09-2020 9:20am

Slapjack and T-Bar

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

Pentecost · 22-09-2020 11:19am

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....

CastorTroy · 22-09-2020 1:03pm

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.

Pentecost · 22-09-2020 3:23pm

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

WWE doing there own version of West Side Story before Spielberg's big budget version gets released at Christmas.

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

19 I think?

CastorTroy · 22-09-2020 5:11pm

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

Officer999 · 22-09-2020 5:36pm

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.

ThePott · 22-09-2020 7:07pm

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.

CastorTroy · 22-09-2020 8:15pm

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

Sanity is the correct answer.

bennyl10 · 22-09-2020 8:42pm

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

Agent Coulson · 22-09-2020 9:10pm

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.

Agent Coulson · 22-09-2020 9:14pm

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

CastorTroy · 22-09-2020 9:18pm

Hope King remembers to thank Dio for saving him

The White Wolf · 22-09-2020 10:24pm

Why the **** have they mocked Dijak up as a ****ing ascension reject? What God awful sh1t.

Has Retribution attacked him yet?

OneEightSeven · 23-09-2020 12:58am

I've yet to torture myself by watching this week's Raw, but Retribution sounds like it's just rehash of the Nexus angle from 2010. I was under the impression they were the guys they fired back in April and that's why they're looking for retribution.

No Istead they're a bunch of NXT guys who've been under contract the whole time upset at not getting their dues...

But are now content with "signing a contract" with WWE and going by the names T-Bar, Mace and SlappyJacky

It's lazy pointless booking like this that ruin every single WWE storyline before it can develop.

Even underground had potential if it was all leading to building new stars... except nope it was designed to get Strowman over again... the man who has more pushes/stops since my 02 FIAT.

I feel like Strowman will be the new Big Show who will flip flop between heel/face for the majority of his career with main event pushes etc

And same as Big Show, when the auld fella is passing through and sees him on the screen he'll stop and watch. Just the way of the world

I've never seen a man as confused as me "popping" when AJ Styles debuted at the Rumble. I explained how he was the best in the world to never be in WWE, to imagine a striker who spent years in the League of Ireland before getting a chance in the Premier League (exaggerating to make a point)

His response when AJ got knocked out well before the end - maybe he's Roy Keane getting his chance at Celtic

That's a bit of a nasty comment to make really.

On TV, Retribution are awful.

But bloody hell, is Djokovic trying his hardest on social media to get it over. Absolutely savaged Jericho there.

I've gone right off Jericho with his Covid-denying shíte, or giving a platform for it at least. He's a gowl.

Edit: I don't really care, Coulson.

beakerjoe · 27-09-2020 2:24pm

Im a T Bar guy after that comment.

Jericho should have minded his own business. WWE were doing a bad job on their own, his interjection was petty and he got owned.

Bad to worse for RETRIBUTION

All 5 members have to self-isolate due to close contact now. All tested negative but all have the same close contact.
