Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I'm sure it's a long forgotten rule, but anyone else remember the "Outlaw rule"?

The rule implemented because Billy and Road Dogg were in a tag title match just like this one, and they pinned each other and I believe won the tag titles.

I've always thought about what would happen if two tag partners were in the ring together in this instance, but we don't see tag matches like this much anymore.

Funny the new day tried to pull this and almost got away with it too. Don't think I've ever even seen anyone have the opportunity to try pinning their partner since then Outlaw rule happened.


Owens should just come out anytime someone gets knocked out, say "You got KO'd" and leave.

Bayley: It's Labor day today, so I'm not working.

Yeah I remember that match when the Outlaws did it that **** was great. Think it was a Raw in May or June of '98 when DX was still being booked as a heel faction. Slaughter thought he was sticking it to the Outlaws booking them in a tag team triple threat or fatal four way (can't remember which one). Chyna pulled them aside after they got tagged in against each other and told them about the loophole. Slaughter was pissed and made the rule like the next week.

Think WWE pretty much books all their multi-tag matches as elimination matches since then right? Maybe a handful of times they're booked like those old ones.

Do you recall the few times they booked like a triple threat or fatal 4 way tag match where one member of each team were all in the ring at one time and had to tag their own partner in and out of the match?

They've done different variations.

Elimination one was the best one.

Maybe I'm misremebering, but my fave was Los Guerreros being involved, avoiding being tagged in, never tagging in once the entire match, and coming in at the very end to get the victory.

I think Kofi has solved the biggest problem in WWE

I guess Sheamus, "Butch" Dunne and Ridge Holland are babyfaces now? Or it feels that way to me. [emoji2377]

Vinci I think could've really gotten over by himself on NXT, but him with Gunther and Ludwig just makes too much sense.

I do like that Hunter isn't afraid of having multiple stables on both shows, unlike Vince who seemed like he only cared about the Bloodline (and killed off the Hurt Business way too soon).

I hope this means we might get a Hurt Business reunion sometime in the future. [emoji1692]

That was fun. More of that please.....

If they keep showcasing them right WWE could have something special with these 5 (plus Sheamus).

Oh goodness. I don't care about the "royal family" or "crown," WWE.

They gotta make Sonya seem like a threat and not an absolute chump, first.

Her and Xia Li have legitimate combat backgrounds - clearly, not to the degree of Rousey - yet neither lady is treated like a big deal or threat.

I'm liking a lot about Triple H's version of WWE, but I still wanna see some underused ladies get more shine.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Another fun episode of Smackdown......

Solo has a lot of potential especially with his brothers and cousin along with him, but his presentation is way, way too bland.

I get that some people hate the "over produced" nature of WWE, yet to me that is what separates WWE from everything else.

It made guys like Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan, the Undertaker, the Rock, Batista and so many others feel larger than life.

Jey: Nobody knows how deep the Bloodline runs.

Sami: Deep AF ma dawg!


Graves came up with a great catch phrase for MMM.

"What are MMM wearing? You can't pronounce it or afford it."

Directing that towards the crowd would be an easy way to get boos.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

About this week's Smackdown. Brawling Brutes vs Imperium was a great match and its great to see stables like this going at it. Its clear that this feud is not over with and that Sheamus has won the fans over. Solo Sikoa was booked well throughout the night too. I like this new addition to the Bloodline as they have been getting stale. But this stable is kinda boring without the Tribal Chief onscreen. Racquel and Aliyah defeated Toxic Attraction in a non Title match. I guess. Just seeing Ronda Rousey beating the other competitors in that Fatal Five Way match showed how really weak the women's roster is on Smackdown.

That 8 man tag team was fresh though. You can tell this show is totally rebuilding with all the fresh faces on the show. I really hate that the Alpha Academy got punked out by Braun Stroman though. They didn't need it. And also, there really is no explanation for this lack of a "brand split" lately. Braun will be a much needed opponent for the Tribal Chief. Lastly, that was a nice main event match between McIntrye/Sikoa. Glad it ended with a non-finish and involved a ton of superstars with the Street Profits and Usos. Decent show overall.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I wonder if we'll actually have a Wargames happening on the main roster. With HHH in charge, you know that has to be something he'd want to do given how good it was in NXT.

For Crowl Jewel, would they do it?

Bloodline vs Owens,McIntyre and a tag team?

Only 4 can compete, which causes conflict within the Bloodline as to which 4 that will be. Maybe they choose Solo over Zayn, and Zayn costs the Bloodline the match?

I also want to see Brawling Brutes vs Imperium in wargames.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Another Bloodline idea, Solo wins the 24/7 title.

He's billed as the "street fighter", and there's no point having Gunther lose the IC title, so why not 24/7 title? Not that it's relevant or anything, but it'll go with Reigns plan for the Bloodline to be draped in gold.

Maybe we could see some more extreme matches if Solo is the 24/7 champ.

Extreme Rules is coming up after all. He could win the title beforehand and go into the event with an actual advertised street fight for the title.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I really like the Judgement Day t shirt, I just wish I liked the actual faction a bit more haha. I feel like they’re right on the edge of being great.
