Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I'll hate not having moving graphics for this WM either, but I like the movie poster style match card.

Funny Easter egg in the Reigns poster. "Directed by Vince McMahon"

Maybe it is directed by Vince McMahon....

Heyman: You think I'm gonna say something vile like "On a cold winters night, Roman Reigns will keep your wife warm"...but I won't. Roman Reigns is a happily married man.....but I'M not.

I love to see Lita. Still one of my favorites....

Rollins walking/dancing away while the Raw theme played in the background fit in perfectly. That actually felt like a movie scene, even if unintentional.


Omos challenging Lesnar to a match at WM has to be a set up right? Just a reason to get Lesnar to Raw and Lashley goes after him?

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

They sent Chelsea Green to Ottawa....ILLINOIS.

Becky,Lita vs Damage CTRL BEFORE WM? Makes me wonder what might we see at WM then. 6 woman tag match perhaps?

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

That was a damn good main event and a great way for Finn to get his heat back.

I’m sure whatever the blowoff is will be good because both guys can go, but man…this Edge vs Judgment Day feud has not been interesting enough to justify it taking what’ll end up being 10 months. I don’t know, just my opinion obviously.

Yeah, the rumors were Edge didn't want to do supernatural stuff but I haven't seen anything supernatural about Judgement Day after they kicked Edge out. The problem was they kicked him out too soon, I get Edge had time off written in his contract but to give him a group before taking time off? Poor timing.

If they had done it at Summerslam or the RAW after Summerslam, then got Dom to turn a month later at Clash it would have been fine. They just sped everything up because... Vince.

I'm not even considering the rumor part because who knows how much is true, you know?

Just looking at the feud as it's happened and... it'll be 10 months with Edge being written off for 40% of it (June-August, Oct-Jan). There's also been no back-and-forth - the only real win Judgment Day has had was using Beth to force Edge to quit at Extreme Rules, and they just avenged that loss this weekend. There's no reason for this feud to still be going, lol.

Again with all that being said I'm sure the final match will be good because of who's in it, but still.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

About this week's RAW. Great opening segment with Sami Zayn and then Kevin Owens. Both guys want to takedown the Bloodline. There's still a lot of time left until WM so I'm glad to see that their is still tension between these two so you can't have them join up....yet. Baron Corbin is now floating around. He took another loss, this time to Zayn but at least he didn't get fully squashed compared to last month. Looks like Ali is going to feud with Ziggler? Who's the heel here again?

I still dont think Asuka is the right opponent for Bianca. The lack of promos (mainly from Asuka) is going to hurt this feud. Miz/Rollins was a solid match but isn't it fairly obvious that all Miz does is lose now? At least he didn't eat a pin this time. Becky Lynch and Lita want to go after the Women's Tag Team Titles? What happened to Trish's rumored return? Theory/Edge was a great main event match for the US Title. I knew Theory was going to retain here but is Edge going to feud with someone else besides Finn Balor again? Average show overall this week.

Asuka is boring as ****. There won't be any feud. What was the last storyline she was actually a part of that had any depth whatsoever?

She's a great wrestler. That's about it. Hard to care about anything involving her. And now they also ruined her theme song and look so that's stupid.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

The Asuka stuff would've been better (still not great) if everything around it was different.

You can't do this spooky intimidation stuff for the first time in a big, fully lit arena. It looks even more ridiculous than it actually is. Do it backstage first where you can get the right setting to present the idea and establish it however they intended.

You can't do it and then have your opponent look just mildly confused by the whole thing.

You can't do it and have commentary go silent. It's a different time but I think they've gotta do some over-the-top selling for it like Vince McMahon did for the Papa Shango stuff.

Dominik Mysterio and this gimmick are just gold. He even makes stale-*** Charlotte Flair somewhat tolerable.

Wyatt should've never dropped the Wyatt family gimmick. He's been **** since then.
