Raw is Netflix

[Meohfumado]

Reports have been that he legit did get something in his eye that had to be removed, but wasn't glass. So the usual "little bit a truth, whole lot of carny."

Drew been putting in great work, which is why I agree that him getting a Priest feud was more about trying to put a shine on Priest than reward Drew for his epic '24.

 

[BeardOfKnowledge]

I havent seen much of theory but I admittedly got a kick hearing vince's pet project seemingly slide down the card. Where do people think he should be on the card? Did he deserve to be hyped up as the next big thing?


Really seemed the past few years vince was desperate to put the mcmahon dust on anyone who might benefit from the run.

He's a five tool player. Great body, good size, great ring work, good promo. Hasn't really been given anything great to work with and has the stink of McMahon on him.

They're hoping he can do for Priest what Punk did for him. Going into 24 no one gave a single fuck about Drew. He had all the tools but was just "Meh". The Punk feud let him find himself and it's fucking magical. Priest, like Drew, has everything you could want in a wrestler, but still no one cares.

Biggest problem is that Priest is already 42.

He has 1 big run in him and I'm not sure if he ever gets there. He's just an overtly bisexual Roman Reigns.

Doesn't seem like a problem to me.

RAW is live from London today at 3:00pm EST.

 

[Meohfumado]

Another good Cody/Cena promo battle. New Day gets some more heat for squashin' the locals.

Gunther is such a great heel. Another guy who deserves a better feud. At least this week wasn't another repeat performance. They were treading water with this Uso stuff for a few weeks.

 

[Koma]

Cena and Cody went at it pretty good on the mic. Leaving Cena laid out cold from one quick Cross Rhodes was kinda brutal heading into Mania.

Gotta think they'll do one more where Cena gets the upper hand.

 

[Wiggy]

Can someone tell me why the Rock was involved with this and what he has to do with any of it?

Today is the first time the Rock has even been mentioned, and none of Cena's heel turn nor promos has needed the Rock, referenced the Rock, etc. Him turning on the fans didn't need the Rock. We haven't seen how Cena benefitted from selling out to the Rock. The Rock hasn't been involved one iota since the turn.

Other than Rocky making the main event about him (because of course he did), where does the Rock play into any of this?

Rock has a role in this because he wanted a role in this.

 

[Wiggy]

Which is why it's stupid.

I can already see the docu that comes out in about 3 months - Cena & Cody end up having a great program, a fun match, fans enjoy it, and Rock comes out saying he planned all this six months ago when he made the 3 symbol at Cody & Roman.

 

[Meohfumado]

lol @ Gable losing a home-town match to El Grande Americano due to his shenanigans.

 

[Wiggy]

AJ getting low blowed.

Good grief I hope this doesn't turn into another Mania feud where the the gimmick is AJ continually gets hit in the dick.

If they wanted to really make Mania, they'd give us El Grande Americano vs El Generico, and they'd somehow borrow Timeless Toni Storm so we could get a promo between her & R-Truth.

To be honest, the fact we haven't gotten an R-Truth v Cena moment is disappointing. I was really hoping for a segment with him talking about how Cena broke Little Jimmy's heart.

Agreed.

That or a follow-up to Truth eating Cody's Rock-provided catering.

 

[Meohfumado]

Frankly I just want more ANY R-Truth. Truth is always gold, and somehow doesn't age. Dude is four years older than me and still taking bumps, and I can barely walk half the time.

 

[Meohfumado]

I may be in the minority, or just a mark, but I've enjoyed the build-up to the women's triple threat at Mania. Like everybody in the world knows where they've been going with the Rhea/Bianca/Iyo angle, but I've liked the run-up. Good psychology for all three ladies, and can't miss when you put the company's three best female workers in a match together.

R-Truth is hysterical. He and McIntyre have the funniest social media presence.

I can't explain it, but every time I see R-Truth on the screen, I instantly smile. He's got like golden retriever powers or something, you see that face, and just smile.

Doesn't matter if its a new bit, a shoot interview, or the same promo I've seen a dozen+ times (or in the Brock/Heyman promo's case...a hundred times). Guy just makes me laugh.

I probably mark out for him more than anybody.

 

[Wiggy]

If they really...like REALLY...want to make Cena an uber-heel, have him run into Truth backstage next week, it starts out cordial, Truth says Cena let Little Jimmy down, Cena starts to lose his shit, then Truth mentions how Cody laid him out in London, then Cena thrashes him the way Rock did Cody last year.

 

[Wiggy]

Though I still want an alternate universe promo between Truth & Toni Storm.

Truth saying "sloptards" & "thundertits" while Storm looks at him appalled and asks him what he's doing by saying "what's up?" would be amazing.
