goodhelmet Posted July 22, 2013 Report Posted July 22, 2013 Here in Austin for the Raw takings so I figured we would do a love RAW thread. First Superstars match had the USOs vs. 3MB- Drew looked good connecting stiff on his strikes. USOs run through their Samoan offense and. A decent match to warm the crowd up. Quote
goodhelmet Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Posted July 22, 2013 Layla vs. Alicia Fox - Crowd turns on the match pretty early and as I type this sentence, a decent Layla chant gets going. Layla gets the win in an ok match. If these two matches are your Superstars episode, completely stoppable show. Quote
goodhelmet Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Posted July 23, 2013 Holy fuck, it is loud in here. Bryan is over. Quote
goodhelmet Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Posted July 23, 2013 Alberto Del Rio vs. Sheamus - I was enjoying Del Rio working over the nasty bruised leg of Sheamus. Crowd popped for the one arm dead left leading to Sheamus punching Del Rio off the apron. Match went too long for this crowd who started a Randy Savage chant. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 I'm usually not bothered by Del Rio's offense - at least not moreso than some others - but man would it have hurt him to lay it in a bit more throughout that match. At points his shit looked really sharp and at other times it looks really pathetic. In any even Sheamus stiffness, hulk up fisticuffs spots and selling were awesome, so I still enjoyed the match, but with better Del Rio performance that would have had a chance at being a top tier WWE singles match this year.

Dylan Waco Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 I like Christian v. Titus a lot for a match of it's length. Honestly it was the most I've liked Christian since he's been back as he made a good rag doll and I am a Titus fan. Didn't really care for the finish, as I can't buy Christian having the power to hold a guy Titus size in place for that long Quote
goodhelmet Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Posted July 23, 2013 Titus and Christian were over for their entrances but maybe this match will come across better on TV. Quote

Live, the Del Rio stuff wasn't offensive but the light as butter Sheamus axe handle shots were brutal. Quote
goodhelmet Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Posted July 23, 2013 My heart don't pump Kool Aid!!! Quote
Dylan Waco Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 I love Mark Henry, but I didn't care for that segment at all. It seemed like everyone was on a different page and this came across like them just trying to hammer the point home, rather than advancing the angle in any way. Quote
goodhelmet Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Posted July 23, 2013 I actually agree except for "My heart don't pump Kool Aid" Quote
goodhelmet Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Posted July 23, 2013 Ziggler vs. Darren Young - Really enjoyed Young in this match. Ziggler not so much. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Ziggler vs. Darren Young - Really enjoyed Young in this match. Ziggler not so much. Pretty much agree with this, but again I'm a Darren Young mark. Quote
goodhelmet Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Posted July 23, 2013 Crowd shit all over the Miz and the Divas. So far, ADR vs. Sheamus was good live but the rest has been shit. Quote
goodhelmet Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Posted July 23, 2013 Good live CM Punk promo as he was really fucking over in Austin. Good banter between Heyman and Punk but nothing like last week. Quote
goodhelmet Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Posted July 23, 2013 RVD was pretty sloppy against Barrett and it looks bad close up but the crowd loved him. Quote
goodhelmet Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Posted July 23, 2013 If they let Daniel Bryan wrestle for 45 minutes straight, it might make the rest of the night worth it. Quote
Stiva Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Cesaro is looking like a total star here. I wish so badly that he wasn't lumbered with Swagger Quote
tim Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 so we all lost our shit over that right? what a fucking match. Quote
goodhelmet Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Posted July 23, 2013 Daniel Bryan vs. Jack Swagger- the OU sucks chant may be the most heat Swagger has ever had. Daniel Bryan vs. Antonio Cesaro- MOTYC level stuff here. Well worth the drive to Austin... And we still have another Daniel Bryan segment to go! Quote
Stiva Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 so we all lost our shit over that right? what a fucking match. Totally. So many awesome spots; Cesaro going crazy with the uppercuts especially. Quote
Ricky Jackson Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Bryan/Cesaro, maybe this whole gauntlet, is one for the 2013 Yearbook. Quote
Guest TheGreatPuma Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 so we all lost our shit over that right? what a fucking match.One of my favs of the year. I am pumped right now. Man alive. And how many posts were made at 11 53? Everyone had to mention that doozy! Quote
Stiva Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 So, how do they fit Big Show into all of this? EDIT: OK, so they don't. Bryan/Kane next week should result in some goofy Wyatt tomfoolery. Quote
