The Clint Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I didn't mind Mero's matches because you had Sable at ringside. But looking back at Raw from 97-98 there was a lot of filler with pointless jobber matches until they eventually phased them out. When Raw first went 2 hours you were still getting shit like Road Dogg V some local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted July 16, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2015 Ryback appears to be out of Battleground. Hospitalised with a Staph Infection.  Guessing it'll be a Big Show squash over Miz to continue that program on then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.PeterVenkman Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Jesus that IC title is cursed, I know the plan originally was for Bryan to hopefully build it up like Cena has with the US title but at this point it might be worth just unifying them, at the very least it'd make the US title mean more when Cena drops it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I wonder what would've happened with Bryan as champion. Arsing around in pseudo-feuds with Wade Barrett and Dolph Ziggler seemed set up to pale in comparison to Cena's ten-finishers-a-match midcard title reign, although could have made for better all-round TV if they committed to doing actual storylines for Bryan's belt for a while. Was DB going to be the top story on Smackdown most weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 16, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2015 Apparently so, I read he was set to be the face of the blue brand. I think he even commented on it around Mania time, saying he was looking forward to helping build the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lenin Posted July 21, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2015 Oh well looks like Seth's reign will be over shortly. Once Taker retires Cena should take the gimmick over. How many burials is that he's clocked up now on the Mic? Â Calling the company's Champion a joke? Love him in the ring but he just doesn't help himself with crap like that. Â Good to see an old fashioned rammy though. And the crowd were hot for Lesnar. Best live crowd I've seen for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 That crowd was crazy. Made that 6 man tag really entertaining, although it was hilarious in it's own right with the heels fucking each other over.  Not sure what to think about Cena/Seth yet, although I love a good title v title and it definitely works on that basis. Who knows, that might not even be the match we get.  The big brawl was pretty well sold for what it was but I'll never be overly keen on main events that you can't even have build-up matches for, and Taker coming out to do The Opening Promo doesn't feel quite right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lenin Posted July 21, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2015 Yeah early days I guess. It would be easier to list the opponents he hasn't buried on the Mic. Â Looks like it's the full bhuna with Taker's retirement. Opening promo, multiple appearances throughout. Just glad the crowd went for Lesnar. They want blood and it would be great if they gave it to them full circle in the HIATC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted July 21, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2015 Yeah early days I guess. It would be easier to list the opponents he hasn't buried on the Mic. Â Â Are you on the wind up? That's a ludicrous statement. What's he supposed to say, given Seth Rollins' character - which he plays very wel - is essentially a snivelling, cowardly heel?

DCW Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Quite enjoyed that Raw. The main event was good fun (Summer looked like a tranny in comparison to Lana though) and Charlotte came off really well despite having to wrestle Brie. Brock/Taker stuff was acceptable too. Â If Cena is the one to end Rollins interminable reign as champ then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted July 21, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2015 Summer always looks like a tranny to be fair to her. Very ugly woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 21, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2015 Eh? I've always found Cena to do a great job of putting the heel over in his promos. Given the fact that Owens is a snide prick, Cena has said Christ knows how many times in promos and on commentary how good he is. He does this with everyone. Puts over their talent and ability but questions their morals, which you should do with a dickish heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted July 21, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2015 So is Cena, 'Triple H 2003' now because I must have missed something? Genuine question, not a dig at Suplex Sinner there.I know he was disliked by the purist mobs for his lack of workrate and the fact he appeals to children and attractive females, but I never had him down for persistant burials of up and coming talent. And given where Owens was about 6 months ago, Cena did a fucking great job with that chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jizzlobber Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 WWE show they're still capable of putting on a hot Raw segment, just a shame it involved a pensioner and a part timer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
