Post-Mania 32 Raw

[FMKK]

Live thread for the show. Can they revive any sort of interest after a deflating show last night? What big debuts or returns can we expect? How quickly will the smarky crowd get annoying?

[FMKK]

Ok, Shane running the show for one night only because reasons.

[Death From Above]

The opening segment post-wrestlemania is not dedicated to the champion of the world, but to a McMahon family promo about ignoring the stip of the stip match.

 

Same as it ever was

Same as it ever was

Same as it ever was

Once in a lifetime

[hammerva]

Yeah basically making the whole purpose of the Hell in the cell match is now meaningless. Guess it is their way to make sure someone is happy with the result

[Strummer]

The way I take it Shane is just in control for tonight

[FMKK]

Crowd doing a Mexican wave in a match featuring an act they're supposed to care about. Awful.

[Steenalized]

Crowd chanting "Goodbye" at the heel who just got turned on by heels too

[Blehschmidt]

I kind of hope Barrett gets the indy run like Galloway is getting. Interested to see what he can do.

[C.S.]

Is this Barrett's swan song? I know he didn't renew his contract, but I'm not sure when it expires.

For some reason I had it in my head that it was July.

[Jimmy Redman]

That woman is magic.

How the hell did Apollo Crews get a call-up when he hasn't done jack shit in NXT?!?!

[hammerva]

So there is such a thing like a "4 tool star" in wrestling.

[Jimmy Redman]

Crews is actually one of the few guys who seems like a better fit for the main roster. He's not really going anywhere in NXT. I don't mind this.

Sucks that Breeze is his sacrificial lamb though. What a waste.

[FMKK]

Breeze enters to near silence. He would have got a massive pop if he appeared in front of this crowd last year. Sad.

Have a feeling Crews won't be the only guy that Breeze is going to have to put over in their RAW debut

 

So they really are acting like the "women's championship" has never happened before huh. So in the WWE history books is Moolah and Sherri Martel considered a "divas" champion now

[Jimmy Redman]

That was a million times better than Crews' NXT debut.

[C.S.]

Sickens me how quickly Breeze has been turned into nothing.

[Strummer]

Reigns up next. Oh boy...

[Jimmy Redman]

My favourite thing about Roman is all of the double speak of "He rebelled against authority!" "He dared to challenge the system!" "He's a man of the people!" on TV when he's literally the opposite of all of those things in real life.

 

Tonight is going to be brutal.

 

I kind of wonder what would happen if they put Reigns vs Cena. I don't think he'd get cheered even vs Cena. Either people are forced to cheer for Cena as the lesser of two evils, or they get tossed out of the building like Cena vs Orton.

[FMKK]

He's definitely turning, isn't he?

[Jimmy Redman]

Eww.

[FMKK]

Urgh. Jericho needs to fuck off forever.

[Steenalized]

Jericho trolling hard
