Briefcase Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I really enjoyed Raw this week. Thought it was spaced out quite well for a 3 hour show. Enjoyed the KOTR final, the whole Bray stuff throughout the show, the main event wasn't too shabby either with Seth vs Roode, the Kane/Truth had its good moments and as already mentioned even the trashy Maria storyline was better than them having another match. Maybe it was for nostalgic reasons but I enjoyed Kane coming out at the end and was good to see Bray take him out too. Raw felt like it had a bit more purpose to it, whether thats the Heyman effect without Vince or them turning it up a little bit ahead of the roster split who knows. Lastly, I do wonder where they are going with this Maria baby thing, it feels very attitude era in that its a trash storyline but has had its funny moments, would love to know how this one ends? Part of me would love for Baron Corbin to be the daddy just for the cheap heat and Corbin/Maria just being this horrible couple on TV, him to beat Mike Kanellis to show him what a real man Corbin is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum1993 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 If The Fiend doesn’t win the title at Hell in a Cell it’ll be such an awful decision. I’ve never really been a Wyatt fan until this but he’s an absolute star. The stuff with Kane across the show was great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted September 17, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 17, 2019 The Fiend is surely winning. Seth is doing what Seth always does in the top spot, which is sucking the life out of the title. Impressive that they've had him go over Lesnar twice clean and he's somehow worst off than the first win. Truth is Seth needed to improve massively after his first title run, but he's still the same wrestler that lacks the charisma and nuances to be a good top guy. WWE is absolutely knackered if they see a reason to not go all the way with The Fiend. I don't mind them semi rushing it too because we've seen they have a hard time maintaining momentum of a push.

He got battered five-on-one for aaaaages and the only guy willing to save him was Mayor Kane. And then when Bray turned up he was scripted to just lie and look scared as they went off the air. I love the Fiend as much as anyone, but fucking hell that's not how the top babyface should be reacting to him. The next logical booking step for both characters seems to be to have Seth actually shit himself in terror when Bray comes out at HiaC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted September 17, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 17, 2019 Ugh. That would depress the shit out of me. Just give Bray the title. Do something new and fresh for the first time in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moment they knew he was in remission they should've called the audible and fucked Seth off. Have Brock go apeshit and kill Seth in mid-February, injuring him to the point where he can't get the Title shot he earned at Wrestlemania. Then, bring in Roman to take his place and get revenge. The man beat cancer, for fuck's sake. The babyface of all bayfaces. This was his moment. After years of them trying to make him the hero and after years of making people want to see Roman vs. Brock, life handed them the ultimate opportunity. It couldn't have been more perfect. And then he just existed in limbo for what felt like forever until all momentum and potential upsides had worn off and - unbelievably - he was just another guy. Seriously, can anyone even remember what Roman did between coming back in one of the greatest segments of all time and then having some stuff sort of fall on him in the Summer? Fucked if I can.

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted September 17, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 17, 2019 In the end it doesn't matter, they went with Rollins, gave him two clean wins over Lesnar in a few months and it has went nowhere. I mean, imagine if they bothered their arse giving Reigns two clean wins over Lesnar in the space of 6 months, instead of having him look like a blowhard. It's not like there aren't a number of wrestlers on the roster they could have picked and been any worse off for it. Rollins was rubbish as a world champion heel and, sadly, he's just as bad as a world champion babyface. All The Sheild members single runs have been underwhelming, in truth, but definitely the story should have been Reigns returning from cancer and winning the title from Lesnar.

King Pitcos Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 If WWE had booked Roman to come back and take the WrestleMania title shot from Rollins, dey’d have had a shitfit. And Seth wouldn’t have lost all his internet points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no faith in their ability to book it or those fans not reacting terribly to it. The answer is Brock Lesnar. They already missed the boat on Rollins. It takes so fucking long to get from Rumble to Mania these days, about 470 million hours of TV, that it kills everyone. They were telling the story better with Kofi on the other side and had no heels lined up for Rollins. Just stick with Brock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
