Grimmas

Ok, if the question is what songs to listen to in the car, that is different than best theme song. On that criteria, Raven's "Come Out and Play", Hogan's "Voodoo Child", Eye of the Tiger would be the top three.

Guy 10 years into retirement takes multiple insane bumps and chairshots without selling a thing (I know most of them were probably tricks, but still). And despite all the death spots, I feel no hate. Vampiro hates Pentagón Jr and the first thing he does is... hit him? Nooo, run into the stairs. Yeah he's being chair-shot to death but he's not selling it so who cares. Yeah he's dropped into thumbtacks but he inmediately gets up so who cares. I really thought I wouldn't ever see a more stupid match than Chyna-Ivory, but this is worse. He rips Pentagón's mask, he's really close to inflicting him the ultimate humiliation... and then nothing happens. No more mask-ripping. Another stupid bump. Post-match angle that makes Viridian City's gym leader reveal look like a storytelling masterpiece, Russo booking at its best. Basically, Vampiro is testing Pentagón Jr. (or at least in Pentagón's mind because he doesn't seem to know who his master is) during all the show but doesn't say a word just because SWERVE. Hmm... the match actually hints at the post match angle. All those things were not supposed to be hate, but a test. He was trying to make Pentagon Jr more evil, not destroy him. It's not the best thing ever or anything, but saying there is no hate in the match when the post match angle shows why is silly.

The Vampiro-Pentagon Jr much was inanely good for having Vampiro involved in it. The post match angle is fine within the context of lucha underground. To make sure Pentagon Jr is evil enough he had to test him in the ring and now Pentagon Jr is ready for whatever evil plans Vampiro has in season 2.

Fabulous Rougeau Brothers theme is the greatest theme ever that isn't about Mounties.

Well I'm in total agreement there. Which is why I don't understand the "habit" excuse of watching Raw. I can see wrestling as a habit but why is Raw a habit? You can just as easily get your "Monday night wrestling fix" in a myriad of other, better ways. I agree, I don't get it. However I see people say that all the time.

If that happens then Vince is more out of touch than I thought and it would ruin the current joy I am having with the WWE. Let's hope this is false.

Since when does Cena not go for those split reactions? Cena does not struggle to get the crowd to react the way he wants, because they react the way he wants already.

Maybe not here but there is a large number of people on the internet who do. And force themselves to watch the full 3 hours live so they can all get together and circle jerk about how awful it is in a chat or forum. Do I give a shit about other forums? No, I only go to pwo and that is not why people watch Raw here. Clearly people who would shit on it each week, don't watch and watch stuff they enjoy instead.

Funny on Smackdown they needed Prime Time Players to have a partner to take on A New Day and who did they come up with? Mark Henry of course. I have no problem with Henry in this, because he is awesome and so are the teams, but it's kind of funny.

Let's not go crazy here. It was a pretty good Raw, yes. However, was it a greatest Raw of all-time? Not even close. Also, the reason there is no thread is because someone posted about this week's Raw in this thread, instead of starting a new one. It has nothing to do with the quality of the show. People don't watch for the sole purpose to complain, they watch out of habit and out of love for wrestling.

I'll take Abby from 28-31 and Hansen from 30-31

Is anyone available October 31st?

All I have is a few week feud to help establish Leo Burke as the next mega star in Canada. He'll get some big time TV doing promos. Probably some kind of fun video skit as well.

I think when people are fighting for the love of the WWE or impressing the fans it is hard to be attached then when people are fighting for revenge for a championship.

I never thought about that before, but that is probably pretty true. What a weird thing, not be able to work short matches well when longer matches are so amazing by him.

When I saw this post I thought Parv was making a case for Brisco at number one. Since I can't make it at that time, is there a link to watch this match some other time?

Do I get them or not?

I can't wait till September where I have a show every Friday to Tuesday.

GCW is the new CZW!

Martel is becoming one of the true top stars in wrestling in 1983! Keep it up!
