This stream I'm watching is showing an old match right now and it made me realize how much of a shame it is that Alex Riley's theme was wasted on him. And then Rey Mysterio came out and I turned it off.

So Randy Orton got dressed today just to meaninglessly RKO Cena? I missed the first 40 minutes or so, please tell me he did something. Im pretty sure if anyone is winning the MitB match its gonna be him. So DB has someone to face when he comes back eventually.


Oh and Seth being one of HHH's henchmen is not a good thing. He's fading while Ambrose and Reigns are blowing up.

No that was it for Orton and has basically been his job for a few months. Just RKO someone and be done with it

As far as this whole Seth thing goes just give it time. It's only been a few weeks since the turn. I'm pretty confident all 3 guys will have solid solo careers, it's just going to take a bit before that happens. Though we all know how WWE likes to do things so let's see if I can be Negrodamus with this one.


Reed is comin' atcha!!

Honestly, apart from the ridiculous "CUSHIONTOP AA HEARD ROUND THE WORLD" finish, I was very very pleased with tonight's Raw in person. Very glad that I had tickets. The debut of Stardust, the thing with the ladder and the Wyatt Family and the Usos spot... The Battle Royal and that moment with Reigns/Rusev....That outstanding Rollins/Ziggler match.... Oh and Lana

I had a great time, my wife had a great time, and according to my mother, my 3 year old daughter went nuts when she saw us on TV. What more can I ask for?

Re: Raw 06/16/14: In Memoriam (with a side of Papa Mizanin!))

being there live was a lot of fun tonight, my highlights of the night were
wyatt entrance, roman reigns vs rusev the placewent absolutely nuts and that was cool. star dust was so unexpected. after the show cena reigns n ambrose destroyed rollins after kne and orton retreated.
the downside was the guy behind me yelling for cm punk a lot, yelling what? after everything lana, or the authority said. all in all a really fun night.

2 things about Raw I hated:

1.Didn't use Kevin Hart enough. In ring dance with Adam Rose was funny,prob only cause I like Adam Rose. But don't get how they didn't do much more with Kevin Hart on Raw. So much they could've done! At least let him do some 5 min comedy act or something, or commentate for 10+ minutes!

2.Sandow with Lebron Heat jersey in Cleveland,and not a single care was given by WWE. They could've done so much with that alone.

Re: Raw 06/16/14: In Memoriam (with a side of Papa Mizanin!))

My lady friend came over just as the Lana/Rusev segment was getting started, but I kept watching. It just put an end to my posting for the evening. Mount Pute-more was a legit "laugh my *** off" moment. I cracked the **** up on that one.

Thoughts on what I remember from the last hour and a half of RAW.

1. Rusev really needs to start having serious matches that last longer than 2 minutes, and that aren't against guys like Slater and Ryder. It hurt him later in the night...(more on that later).

2. Shouldn't Reigns' plan have backfired on him, since only Stephanie was "poisoned"? His plan was to get Triple H & Stephanie sick, but only Stephanie got sick. Seems like that should have poked a hole in his plan...and Stephanie throwing up on Vickie was one of the most legit disgusting scenes I've ever seen. Up there with Sid breaking his leg.

3. The battle royal was pretty solid. Surprised Bo Dallas lasted as long as he did. Not the least bit surprised Reigns won. We could all see that coming from the time he had his little meeting with Vickie early in the show. I was still thinking..."hmm, maybe something will screw Reigns up", but once it got down to him and Rusev, I knew it was going to be Reigns. I have no reason to believe that Rusev is a.) credible enough to beat Reigns. The dude hasn't fought anyone noteworthy. and b.) ready to be in a match like the ladder match. He's still in the building up phase.
Not saying Reigns is ready because I certainly don't think he is. He's really over, but he JUST split from his group, and hasn't done anything since then. I just don't think he's ready. I hope he doesn't win the title. (Also..he's becoming predictable along the lines of Sheamus & Cena now. Clothesline, Superman punch, scream, Samoan drop, Spear, scream, repeat.
*Also - Damian Sandow went full on LeBron. Arm sleeve, LeBron shoes, everything.

4. Love Kevin Hart. Dude is hilarious. Adam Rose can go away.

5. Paige REALLY needs something soon. This whole "us Divas that have been here for a while don't like this new comer." Just go ahead and push her as a heel "anti-Diva". It's basically what she is now, but in the wrong way. At least in this match with Cameron, she was crazy aggressive and beat Cameron's ***, instead of what she's been doing up until now. Still, love her.
*NOTE - I've mentioned it multiple times in these forums, and tonight, my girlfriend confirmed it. Paige came on the screen, and she goes "HOLY CRAP! That chick looks like McKayla!" (her cousin). I've said it before....

6. Cody Rhodes...son of a bitch. I don't know what to say about Stardust other than it's a damn shame that they didn't use David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" as his theme song. But, hey...perhaps it leads to an even more meaningful match when the two ultimately go at it.

7. Cena wins. Knew that was coming. How are we supposed to take Kane seriously as this huge monster when he hasn't won a match since putting his mask back on?


Overall, I thought the battle royal was interesting, although the end was really predictable.
The best part of the show tonight was the two opening matches. Rollins & Ziggler was fantastic, Ambrose & Barrett was great, too.

I am SO looking forward to Ambrose vs Rollins whenever that occurs (and I hope it occurs often over the next several months.)

Anything big I miss? I didn't get the chance to see RAW tonight because I was out of town attending my little sister's graduation.

Re: Raw 06/16/14: In Memoriam (with a side of Papa Mizanin!))

Owen Hart > Kevin Hart

They're both black harts, damn it! WOOO!


(sorry, sorry....)

Re: Raw 06/16/14: In Memoriam (with a side of Papa Mizanin!))

I liked some things from tonight's RAW:
+Seth Rollins/Ziggler match was lengthy. At least Ziggler didn't eat the lost.
+Ambrose in street clothes against Bad News Barrett.
+Rusev and Lana starting to get heat. Poor Heath Slater got squashed alone.
+Nice Battle Royal although we have seen too many of these now. Cool finishing sequence.
+The debut of Stardust. Not sure how long this will long but it gives Cody something to do. He was acting like a superhero with his mannerisms.

I didn't like:
-Vickie getting vomit on her. She deserves better. This whole segment screams Vince McMahon comedy.
-The strong booking of Sheamus
-Still no promos from Paige. No way to connect to her.
-Lastly, I am tired of Cena overcoming the odds. I dont hate him but it's just too much. Overall, average show.

Push that Stardust kid to the moon!

Also, I'm giving John Cena the "Stairmaster" monniker from now on.

Re: Raw 06/16/14: In Memoriam (with a side of Papa Mizanin!))

Stardust, lmao. Props to Cody for embracing that. I really hope he's viewed as a legitimate star backstage.

**** Cena, man. Did SCSA win like this? If so, idk how I wasn't annoyed by that.
