If I help you now it sets a bad example to my fans.


This is the best description of RAW:


__________________________________________________________________________________
RAW REBOUND

Raw opened with Randy Orton saying that he would kick Seth Rollins rear end even without the RKO because he rules and Seth Rollins is a dork

Seth came out and said that he is totally not a dork and would instead be the one doing the rear end kicking.

Dean and Luke Harper had a "match" that ended in Luke trowing Dean off the stage, Dean just did a combat roll to avoid contact and then Luke Harper forgot he left his Iron on and ran away.

They will have a Chicago Street Fight at Extreme Rules meaning that they will both wear jeans making it totally different from all their other matches.

Fandango beat Axlemania by doing that awesome leg drop that will one day compress his spine.

Brie had a match with Naomi. The best thing about it was that .gif Naomi is bad now so it looks like the Bellas have become faces by default. #1 contender Paige is dead so some other diva will have to step up.

Daniel Bryan did not appear because he with Leslie Nielson searching for the real Undertaker, also his match with Barrett for the Int. Title may not happen because or "medical issues"

Zack Ryder was destroyed by Road Warrior Sheamus and it was hilarious it was just like the last time they had a match on RAW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtP4bbql1BA

Heath Slater explained to Rowan in catering that he was going to beat John Cena and win the US Title in tonight's open challenge, instead he got RKO'd by Orton through a table, we never got to find out what kind of salad dressing Rowan likes.

John Cena's open challenge for the US Championship was answered by Kane, Cena sold having to fight Kane like it was a death sentence which was kinda cool. Cena won a decent match with the AA.

Throughout the night Kane & Seth Rollins continuously argued. Seth said Kane needed some Depends and Kane gave a cool promo where he got fired up and laid some truth on Seth, it's totally worth finding to watch.

The Miz & Mizdow had the match with the stipulation we had all been wanting: the winner got the rights to The Miz personality and brand. It was a short match with some cool spots that ended when Summer Rae turned on Mizdow raked his eyes and left him to get pinned by The Miz after the match Randy Orton RKO'd Miz.

Dolph and Seth had a cool match that Seth won after Sheamus distracted Dolph. Seth won with what appeared to be Dean's old finisher lending more fuel to the dirtsheetz fire that the curb stomp is banned if this is true it sucks bad.

After the match Seth got stuck in a lowered steel cage with Orton. Orton gave him a super elevated RKO off the cage while Seth tried to climb the cage walls it ruled.

All in all RAW was probably a 6/10: It was just above average with a few things that made it worth watching especially if you like RKO's. Still if you missed it who really cares.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
One of the worst RAWs in recent memory, as there was almost no Big Show presence. Get it together you morons. At least Roman Reigns found a way to make his gear look even lamer, bravo. He was also barely on the show and is firmly on the path to complete irrelevancy, as he should be. If WWE is smart he'll lose in 10 seconds to a knock-out punch at the PPV so he can make the World's Largest Athlete look even stronger.

Also glad they buried that loser Damien Mizdow as well. I hate for months-long angles with hot babyfaces to have satisfying conclusions. I much prefer them to drag it out to the point that the babyface is no longer over at all and then end it like a wet fart, which is just what happened here. My only criticism is that they didn't go far enough, people could conceivably still care about Mizdow. They should have had Miz and Summer spit on him in the middle of the ring and then skull-crushing finale him onto a tray of dog poop. Then they could have had JBL say something cool to bury him like "Now Sandow smells just like he wrestles!"

All these stupid wrestlers that the crowd likes deserve jack poo poo. Kane is the future and I'm glad WWE is booking their entire show around this hot young babyface. I think the only way RAW can get better is to have Kane in 95% of segments instead of just 75%. Just my opinion though, the people booking this show are obviously geniuses and shouldn't be questioned. If they could find a way to book the entire company around Kane and Big Show, they might just be able to turn this ship around.

daniel bryan is dead
the curbstomp is banned
extreme rules features big show vs reigns and is rumored to not be the blow-off for that feud
summer rae is getting a heel push
kane was featured in multiple segments in this week's raw

this is some end-times poo poo we got here

did Neville even have a match this week? I didn't watch, sounds like the only stuff I missed was some fun Randy Orton segments and an actually good New Day match (?!)

Extreme Rules will probably have good matches but if they banned the curb stomp I am pissed the gently caress off. Don't get me wrong, it's understandable if it's due to the concussion lawsuit but gently caress THAT. It looks bad, but it's probably safer than a lot of non-banned finishers because so much of it is on the sell.

There was a rumor that was happening and then in the Ziggler match he beat him with a ddt after a buckle bomb with no explanation as to why he wasn't stomping on his head.

All kinds of crap today.

Only highlights for me was Randy Ortons RKOs out of no where and him stalking Seth. Runner up goes to Heath Slaters segment, and New Day vs Lucha Dragons. Everything else was hot garbage.

Also HHH's Tough Enough announcement was so bad, I now have no interest in it.

Wrestlezone, which is often a questionable source but seems right on this one reported that it was banned earlier today. WZ claims that WWE feels it's too high of an injury risk (despite never injuring anyone afaik) and rovert said on twitter that he thinks it could be related to the concussion lawsuits.

Hell Super Dragon's basically retired, wouldn't shock me if the Bucks started doing it just like they now occasionally do the package piledriver now that Steen's signed.

I'm especially salty because the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, unless my memory is majorly faulty, were not only not in WWE long, they haven't been in a long time. It'd be one thing if Punk was bringing the suit or something, but three random jobbers? gently caress that, especially if they've wrestled on the indies since.

I really don't want to victim-blame in a concussion thing but drat it people found a way to make me do it and that makes me mad too. :mad:
