Great RAW. I really didn't understand any of PSP's hate on this week's episode, it was good.

Yeah, but it made Dean look like he needed Cena being dumb to win. Then again I guess it's not like Dean was killed by Cena either I guess, they were both pretty fresh.

But this way neither of them beat each other up too much.

I don't think that Orton/Cena will actually be the main event. I took that as Orton being delusional. Did I miss some Cole babble?

Boredom is always counter-revolutionary. Always.
Won't this be the second Cena/Orton HiaC match? Truly a feud for the ages.

I do feel pretty cheesed tho. Ambrose/Cena is a more fun than the last month of Ambrose/Rollins

This isn’t really anything I think I like.

Calling it now: whatever the Wyatt thing is, they interrupt Orton/Cena with it and lay out both of them.

A think an Orton Wyatt feud could be cool but I'd be way happier if they never had to interact with John Cena ever again.

The last televised Ambrose/Rollins match was arguably the best Raw main event matchup of 2014; I can only imagine what they're going to try and pull off inside of the Cell.

Harper's matches with Cena were wicked sick. The kind Bray should have had.

Knowing going in that this would have no satisfactory resolution for Cena/Ambrose, a feud predicated on them being forced into each other to get to Rollins, that wasn't the worst thing to watch at all.

This is exactly how I feel too. And I overreacted a bit initially, that didn't bury Dean whatsoever, but it didn't really put him over either. Hopefully the Cell match does that.

It kept me entertained from start to finish aside from that 7 diva segment, that's pretty good for 3 hours

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
Ambrose and Rollins managed to make a loving Lumberjack Match good.


Them in a Cell is going to be a classic.

It felt like there was a lot less filler than previous weeks. Having Cena and Ambrose wrestle twice, and Rollins and Orton having lengthy matches in the middle, probably contributed to that.

This may or may not be correct.

It wasn't great, but it was a good, solid Raw. The only really bad thing about it was the Total Divas/d-list cameo junk, as usual, and that was only like five minutes so who cares really. That's what mute buttons are for.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Rollins is going to finish what he started and stab himself to death on the Cell.

That ending was loving stupid, but Dean waving made Cena look like a total jackass, so I can live with it.

Good raw and the ending match was alright with that one bit making me smile. Ambrose saves the day as usual. Decent Raw with Ziggler, Orton, Rusev, Mizdow being amazing. If only we had more Slater Gator.

RacistGuidingLight posted:

Harper is amazing in general but Cena and Harper just mixed really well. Seriously would like to see Harper get a bigger run versus everyone. Guy is so talented.

An an aside: anyone notice the Eddie G, Jericho, Malenko Cruiserweights vid the crazy effort it went to avoid showing Benoit. It aint new but a couple of times I barely saw and elbow as the camera flowed up and - EXTREME CUT - Its Perry Saturn! So want to watch that as Mysterio/Eddie G/ Jericho/ Malenko/ Saturn/ Benoit WCW feuds were just amazing to watch.

Cole said repeatedly that it's a double main event and both are in a cell.

Also Cena/Orton will probably close the show.

When they had two Elimination Chamber matches on a PPV, that was also billed as a "double main event" and one usually opened. So Ambrose/Rollins might even be the curtain jerker. It won't be, but lol if it is.

Just finished this. The Ambrose win was exactly the type of overbooked worthless horseshit I expected it to be, but at least they got it out of the way now instead of ruining the beginning of a PPV with it.

Oh well. An enjoyable raw overall. I wish Cena would just gently caress off already though. I like the guy but as long as he's around this company is treading water.

I mean he's wrestling Jesus so of course he would be treading water all the goddamn time

I'm kind of glad it was a really short match because you really want to make Cena vs Ambrose a meaningful match in a more direct feud.

I dont mind how the match worked out. It could be a show of how Ambrose thrives in chaos. The whole loser gets Orton thing is pretty awful though.
