David Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 Right now, Lesnar is not advertised for Night of Champions on WWE.com and the Bridgestone Arena's website, though he is advertised for the last Raw before NOC. Is it possible this could mean something, or is it probably just outdated advertising?
KrisZ Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 btw, the fact that Hunter has turned into comedy stooge hypeman for Steph the last month or so has been quite awesome. Much better than serious wrestler HHH. he seems like he's having more fun doing this than anything in the past decade. I know he's going to go back to frown face wrestler soon enough but this is a great use of him now I doubt we see that version of Trips again....even when he was wrestling a few months ago he still was Trips the boss not the Trips of 10 years ago
sek69 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 I wonder if it will come out that the Trips-as-Steph's-hypeman routine came out of them wanting to do their version of Dixie and Spud. They do seem to have a thing about wanting to rib TNA by doing what they do better.
Matt D Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 The difference between that and let's say The Beautiful People is that people in and/or around the industry were talking up the Beautiful People relative to what WWE was offering in a comparable area.
flyonthewall2983 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 Someone said on Twitter that Raw has a completely new set tonight.
Strummer Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 I didn't think Nikki's heel promo was that bad. Brie's acting...well.. was bad. This feud is going to get a huge push with TD coming back soon
Steenalized Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 I tend to multitask while watching Raw, but I never think of him as that obstructive. He's bad, yeah, but heel Cole was far worse.
Strummer Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 I think we are getting Batista interrupting the championship ceremony and leading to a match with Brock at NOC
Matt D Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 He was pretty clear about only wanting to come back as a heel, but who knows.
Strummer Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 ha Ambrose "What, it's for charity" That was great
Steenalized Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 A non-title match where the champion loses by distraction finish? There is no more WWE finish than that. EDIT: They then follow it up with the most WWE-possible gimmick choices. No DQ, No Holds Barred, Falls Count Anywhere.
sek69 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 Brock is great just sitting there giving zero fucks during Heyman's promo.
Matt D Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 What's even the difference between No Holds Barred and No DQ?
Log Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 Well, you see...with No Holds Barred, you can do whatever you want in the match and you won't get disqualified. With No DQ, you're not going to get disqualified for anything that you do in the match.
Strummer Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 heyman saying that it pissed him off that his kids are John Cena fans got a LOL from me. From the promo it looks like they are rematching at NOC with how much Heyman put Cena over. Id rather see Batista but maybe they are saving that one
goc Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 I have wanted to see Sheamus vs Brock ever since I heard that Brock retired from UFC. I realize that as far as booking goes, Sheamus is nowhere near the level to take on Brock but I still want to see it damn it!
Coffey Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 Summerslam was great. RAW, I just shut it off. I can't take it. It's a 3-hour infomercial that's 50% replays & the other 50% rematches or jobber filler. Just trash TV.
tim Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 The reaction for Ryback is not only the highlight of this RAW, but of this week in WWE so far including Summerslam. THE BIG GUY.
Steenalized Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 I'm surprised by how warm the reaction is, it's not like the WWE pushes him big time as a Vegas guy, though he is announced as from there. Still, I hope it's the start of something for him and not just a flash in the pan.
Stiva Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 I feel like Reigns should start using the Stinger Splash or something close to it. The guy has a great leap on him.
Jmare007 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 Well, it wasn't Ryback but Henry will do.
jushin muta liger Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 I never got why people loved Mark Henry so much until I just saw the promo he did on Rusev and Lana. My fandom is growing.
Steenalized Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 The fact that Mark Henry isn't a multiple time WWE champ is a damn shame.
Blehschmidt Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 Does anyone else think the German announcers replacing the Spanish announcers is a radical Vince over reaction to the Del Rio/Mysterio situation?
