I’ll start with Summerslam! Nah start before then, his matches against Big Show and Reigns were before then and they were excellent. Quite a few of his best matches have been Raw main events too, so I would explore those as well rather than sticking to the PPVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 His match with Reigns at Fastlane is a good place to start, plus you get to see Reigns' brilliant white shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Was it Payback where they used a blood capsule and kept them brawling into the start of Raw Talk? That was one of my favourite matches of the year. Love that at the bell Reigns just leaps straight for Braun, was a real great feud and I'd place that above Fastlane and the ambulance match if you're short on time.

Fans SHOULDN'T cheer someone they're not positively invested in. There are reasons to be behind Roman, he can go well enough and you could see even in developmental that he was the absolute prototype for a main eventer in WWE. The Roman Reigns character though has been historically booked terribly and it doesn't help that he did his best to convince everyone he's a massive ballbag outside of kayfabe in the run up to WM31. I'm resigned to him. I don't feel strongly either way now but I don't feel obliged to cheer a guy just because he's on top. I wouldn't do it for Hogan or Lex in the early 90's and I won't do it now. I don't think that makes me a bad fan. Let’s just throw away the millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars that WWE has made through John Cena because the fans boo’d him because he didn’t do moves very well. I’m not saying Reigns is Cena. He’s not.  But the guys recently that the fans want have been complete failures money wise. Even Bryan admits in his book that business tanked with him on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted February 15, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 15, 2018 I've carried on with their 100 Raw moments to fill time at points over the last couple of weeks. I'm only in the 75-50 section and it's ridiculous. HBK's retirement speech is at 67. Which seems low already until you realise 66 is the chuffing New Day celebrating their year as tag champs by soaking Stephanie. Terrible. Then 65 is the fucking brilliant momemt where Batista chooses Trips as his opponent at WM21 and turns face. Can it get more ridiculous? Yes because sixty-fucking-four is the fantastic Austin/McMahon angle that finally won a week in the Monday Night War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted February 15, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 15, 2018 What I loved was "Shawn Michaels has left the building" .... because its exactly the kind of low key nod to the very long ago that's nice fan service to those of us that have been watching it for 25 years or so.

Just wait til you get to the 40s - Daniel Bryan’s retirement and the Nexus debut are beaten by that time Brock Lesnar smashed up Seth Rollins’ car that I don’t even remember happening.

Guest Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I remember that purely because Lesnar absolutely lobbed the car door like a frisbee and it nearly hit a fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted February 20, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 20, 2018 The gauntlet match to open Raw was excellent. What a great way to start the show, having nearly two hours of wrestling. Seth’s hour was the main highlight of the gauntlet match. And then it went back to the usual Raw of phoning it in for the last hour. But still, one of the better go home shows lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Cod Eye Posted February 20, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 20, 2018 My Sky Q box didn't record this weeks episode for some reason. Is it worth me going to the effort of downloading it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members mim731 Posted February 20, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 20, 2018 I reckon so. The first hour is brilliant, second half of the gauntlet is pretty good, and the third hour is standard Raw fare. I will say, even though I know Reigns is almost certainly going over on Sunday because, the plan, I actually wouldn't mind seeing Rollins get that spot after this show. He was superb, which is not something I often think of Rollins. Fuck, I'd even happily go with Rollins, Reigns and Lesnar in a three-way which you could easily build given the history of the three at Mania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 It's a shame Reigns isn't Mr Money in the Bank. Having Rollins vs Lesnar at Mania with Reigns running in and cashing in and winning would be pretty good. Especially if him and Rollins had made up and were getting on great (as they are) but have Reigns come in and beat him and show no remorse about it.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 20, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 20, 2018 Especially if they'd had the sense to call back to when Rollins cashed in. It'd be a lovely piece of turnabout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambulance Chaser Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) I fucking loved that Gauntlet match, massive thumbs up from me. And Braun, what is there to even say, unbelievably charismatic and without even trying just so easy to get behind. Why are the Club not with Balor, did it just not suit them this week? Fucking hell.
