KawadaSmile Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 By God, this starting segment is great. Alexa is actually a better heel than Charlotte and a way better promo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Bliss is dynamite on the mic and that 8 man tag was actually pretty good with a few nice high spots & some stiff moments rather than the throwaway those usually are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Miz being outnumbered by faces two weeks in a row, and yet being the most entertaining in the segments as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I knw I'm going to be in the minority but Balor was actually pretty good on the mic in that segment and was solid last night. I know he was in there with the Miz but they are booking him smart in talking in sound bites instead of extended monologues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Redman Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Holy shitballs guys it's official. Alexa Bliss is my new favourite wrestler. I'm pretty sure she's already the most GIFable wrestler of all time even though she's only been on the main roster for like 9 months. Alexa screaming at Alicia Fox while she was Hell in Peril and Alicia Fox going "I'm trying!!" is why I love Alicia Fox. Woah at her and Sasha, I need them to get it on immediately. Bayley's hot tag here and laying into Alexa was the most aggressive she's looked since she was stomping Sasha's fingers off. This was all a great showcase because before this match I would not have thought that there were even 8 women on the Raw roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strummer Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I really liked that match now we are back to Miz/Ambrose and Wyatt/Balor after they had teased the opposite last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artDDP Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I attended both Payback and this show and Raw was a lot more fun. The main event got a great reaction. They played videos during the commercial breaks, which kept people from getting restless. At the last TV taping I went to a year ago they just shut the lights off.

Matt D Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Alexa killed it in that opening segment. It's something we've seen a bunch of times before in one permeation or another but that's rarely worked as well as that one did. She's the most nuanced one dimensional character ever.

SirEdger Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 "That's jaywalking! ...and jimmywalking!" This segment cracked me up big time. I hope we get Smackdown Live Tag Team Champions Breezango to feud with The New Day when they finally return. That'd be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Redman Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 The whole women's angle on SD ruled too. Becky didn't save Charlotte last week so the Welcoming Committee try to recruit her to their side. Then they take out Charlotte before the match, forcing Naomi to go it alone (it could have the added benefit of showing Naomi it's worth joining them too!). But Naomi proceeds to not only hold her own but treat Carmella like a fucking young boy and beat the utter shit out of her, before the numbers overwhelm her. But then Charlotte! She's here! Hot tag! Charlotte beasting fools was great and the people are going NUT for someone who was the best heel in the company like two weeks ago. But the numbers game catches up with them again. And then Becky! She's walking, clearly in no rush to make the save. Odd. She's smiling at the heels. Oh no! Don't do it! Don't shake their hands! Don't hug that gooofba-BLAMMO! WOO! BECKY! She'll never turn to the dark side! But AGAIN, it's 3 against 1 and the heels STILL have the numbers. But at least now the faces will be back to even the score, 3 on 3. I still like the ultimate goal of Charlotte Horsemaning Becky and joining the heels, but that will have to come way in the future when there are reinforcements for the babyface side. The immediate problem is that I'm not sure Lana is enough reinforcement, and there's nobody in NXT ready for a call up apart from Asuka. So I'm not sure how to even it up.
