Why aren't the close up face GIFs of Ambrose anywhere in this thread. His reactions were great, sleazy, and awesome.

Ambrose is being booked exactly like SCSA in 1997, and that's a good thing.

Everything that isn't Ambrose is boring as gently caress.

To be fair the same can be said for SCSA in 1997. the only notable thing in that year was Shawn and triple H became perverts and Undertaker had a brother.

Adam Rose being a partying kid-friendly no drugs candy lollipop man and then shilling alcohol on Raw that week gave Adam Rose an inescapable "statutory" vibe. Just my opinion.

USAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I had a blast at RAW. Crowd was going nuts for Ziggler/Cesaro/Miz.

There was a dark segment after the fade out. Wyatts came out for no reason and got beat up by Cena / Ambrose.

That was alright, but what was better was the next 15 minutes of Ambrose hamming it up in all corners of the ring.

Then he left for awhile, sprinted back out alone and threw JBL's chair at the ring for no reason.

It was fantastic.

That Raw was fun as gently caress. Everything non-Ambrose was mediocre but the Ambrose stuff was so great it brought everything else up.

i think it's more "how dare they put women who can't wrestle into the ring" which outside of NXT is most of them

also each one of the notes might be a minimal piece but when you combine them it turns into a lot of bad

though i liked most of it, i like midgets dressed in animal costumes though i prefer them being drop kicked instead of rolling around with each other



and ambrose is pretty great

and Triple H burying Miz was probably the highlight of the night

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

This Raw had Heath Slater winning a match, followed by an alligator eating El Torito. It also had Sandow berating Triple H, which resulted in Triple H berating Miz as if he was Sandow. If you hate this then stop watching wrestling.

When you talk about "partying" in a vague way, and every single thing about your character is marketed to children except that you're a buff guy exposing his chest and selling alcohol, sort of.

edit: it would be highly suspect if john cena started shilling booze on monday night raw for the same reason imo. john cena's not a good "tier" example but he's a good character example. or if bayley was like what up i love malibu rum. "statutory" was a little strong but what i meant was that even though this is tyool 2014 i still don't think it's ok for a character a little kid can look up to or think is cool to sell drugs in real life

It was a one off segment that was probably came about because the WWE had a sponsor come up and want to give them money. This isn't a 2014 version of Stone Cold pounding "Jesus juice" and hanging around little kids at his ranch.

Noble and Mercury being the new flunkies is a good idea and I hope they keep running with it. The authority needs some guys who can get shown up and humiliated by Ambrose/Reigns/Cena and it not matter because they aren't current in ring talent. It keeps Orton/Kane/Rollins from having to have too many low points.

I could have done without the Bella segment being back to back with the Bunny segment but other than that this RAW was actually fun. I just with it had more actual wrestling on it.

Thank you for continuing an argument that still doesn't need to be an argument and dismissing my legitimate feelings as "concern trolling".

Moving on though I'm hoping Bo Dallas gets a cool PPV match. He's really becoming one of the best WWE has at selling his opponents' offense. Maybe he can defect to Russia and make it a tag team match, playa. (I don't actually want that last part to happen)

I just watched the Ambrose segments and having Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, etc injured might be the most fortunate turn of events since CM Punk leaving. There's a massive hole in their programming that Ambrose is more than able to fill. He's being asked to carry a lot of content and he's excelling. It seems that more and more people in charge are coming to this realization as well. He's a great anti-hero with a simple story. After Ambrose and Rollins redefined how fun a lumberjack match is, I can't wait to see what else they can do.

i think the biggest problem is that outside of his return at night of champions he hasn't really been getting superstar reactions but hopefully that changes as he's featured more because he's definitely more than capable of being a big deal
