Paid Members Supremo Posted August 8, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) Conor's a natural fit for something similar to what Ronda did, coming in for an appearance at Wrestlemania, but I'm not sure they could afford him these days. He's used to making huge money now, so the only way I can ever see him working with them is if he wants to do it just for fun. That's not impossible though. It's extremely obvious that he's a closet fan, so you never know. Â He won't put be putting anyone over though. He'll be knocking someone out, guaranteed. Probably Jericho.

Jackpot Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Have him cost Lesnar his match against Orton at SummerSlam and let them two go at it in a UFC match at WrestleMania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 He could just bang out Sheamus in a random segment at Mania, then Sheamus has something to whine about for the forseeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 9, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2016 Back to normal this week. The first hour was pretty decent with the good Enzo & Cass/JeriKO opening but when they followed up Rollins yapping for 10 mins with a Sheamus/Cesaro re-run, the momentum died. Â Enjoyed the interaction between the four guys in the opening again. I like how they keep sidelining Enzo for Big Cass compliments. I'm not sure if it's deliberate but it builds Enzo as a Bryan-type underdog. Knowing them, they're just trying to get Cass over. Â Finn Balor explaining the demon was a nice little segment. Â The Orton/Lesnar video was really well done. Orton looks fucking awesome with something to get his teeth into. Looks cooler and more confident than he has in years. Â The wedding segment was proper hokey WWE fun. As soon as they came out I asked "Who's going in the cake?" and they didn't disappoint. Between this and the end segment, they're making the US Title feel big time. Short-term until they have their "Universal Title" though I think. Interesting that they played a video from the Smackdown pre/post show of Bryan mocking it. Â The rest was unmemorable rather than outright bad. I really dislike that Gallows & Anderson skit. They book them great sometimes and then they do stuff like this. Â Looked like Bubba was disappointed in Devon after they lost to the incredible tag team of Neville and Sin Cara. I hope this goes somewhere because they're floundering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Goldberg Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Gave up on Raw during the Rollins promo. I really struggle to pay attention with anything he's involved in, I just find him to be very dull and boring. Â The opening of Raw was OK but felt like a rehash of last week without the women. Â The back stage segment with Puff Daddy, Foley and New Day was pretty much what you would expect. Â I really started to lose interest when we were treated to the prime time players facing off again. Â Seth up next was the final nail in the coffin for me. Â Hope things picked up for those of you that stuck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 9, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2016 I don't mind the PTP stuff. Them actually taking two guys at the bottom of the card, adding a semblance of a story to the matches and filling TV with it is what they need to do more often. It felt like they had a reason to fight after Titus cheated last week, threatened Backlund and got sparked out. Unlike Sheamus/Cesaro which felt like they know these two can fill 20 minutes with a decent match so just let them go. Â Scooby Doo can fuck off.

AshC Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Is this McGregor the same fella that kayfabed himself out of a headline slot in the biggest MMA PPV of all time? Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Goldberg Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Yeah, that's fair enough tbh. I may not be a fan but like you say, atleast it made sense for them to re-match and the finish played on what happened last week. Â No Stephanie this week?

Slapnut Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Is this McGregor the same fella that kayfabed himself out of a headline slot in the biggest MMA PPV of all time? Hmm. Â Yep, and likely kayfabed his way to UFC 202 being the biggest MMA PPV of all time rather than 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshC Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Jarrett would still take him. And work another 300 dates in the year while this lad's moaning about flying to do a presser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapnut Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Well yeah, but Jarrett would probably beat Anderson Silva in his prime, so that's hardly a fair comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members FLips Posted August 9, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2016 When they did the Cesaro title shot with Bryan cheering him and calling him underutilised, me and the other half genuinely thought they'd have Cesaro win the belt and defect to Smackdown, but instead it was the same old shit with Roman and Sheamus. Fucking shit, flat end to Raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 The best thing about Raw, by some distance, was a Finn Balor promo. Â That should both be a source of pride for Finn, and of great embarrassment for the rest of the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
