Pushing past how dumb Raw was, they could do some great segments in the coming weeks by showing Ziggler, Rowan and Ryback in day jobs. Ryback works at a lovely BBQ joint, Rowan is making wine or some poo poo with his beard.

Ziggler does... I dunno. Tan salon.

I was not being sarcastic at all, I am using the NJPW thread instructions and Chrome translation to pay 8 bucks and change to NJPW World right now

the site does look like something out of the mid-90's though :unsmith:

How many traditional hero types like Cena is supposed to be actually DO that? Normally, their plots make them find a third option, which brings up back to the terrible writing yet again.

So you're saying this scenario should have involved Hideo Itami?

I dunno what is up everyone's rear end about this RAW. The matches were good and John Cena was blatantly shown the whole night what we all think of him. Even Cesaro and Kidd got some time in. Goddamn you guys.

Yeah, as I said in the GDT, although I wish it was written and booked better, they did have a throughline that made sense.

If Reddit can manage to send Triple H a fruit basket, we should be able to send John Cena one of these:



I really think we need to get past this irrational fear and embrace the one quality that makes WWE great. I, of course, speak of John Cena. Seeing all those clips of past Cena was great and I was only irritated when some slackers took away time from what truly matters. We worry about falling ratings and people going away but I have a brilliant idea: more Cena. We have already talked about Rusev vs Cena for ages so lets keep that on course. Brilliant match in which Cena finally makes that Rooskie tap after seducing Lana as his own and she follows him around for a bit (renamed as Laura to fit into her new pro USA persona) until he gets bored. Next comes Bad News Barrett in which Cena SHOWS HIM SOME REALLY BAD NEWS JACK! After getting screwed out of the world title numerous times Cena overcomes the odds to win it three times in a row on Raw making him the GREATEST CHAMPION ON ALL TIME OF ALL TITLES IN WWE. WWE CENA CHAMPION! Now you may think that is more than enough but NO. Cena teams with a returning Darren Young to conquer the Tag Team titles. After some makeup wearing jobbers, some foreigners and a bad actor and his lame stuntman Team C starts a year long rivalry with the only team to be a challenge: The Usos. That's like two years of story right there. I mean after he wins the belts in 4 months of course. BAH GAWD! I can just feel the ratings and money flow. Mmmmmm.

~Everybody wants to be a cat~
~Because a cat's the only cat~
~Who knows where its at~

They dropped the ball by not licensing NA NA NA NA, HEY HEY, GOODBYE instead of random Susa. The best thing the authority does it turn the crowd's favorite poo poo back on itself, and that's a long-time favorite. Remember "They want you to quit just like CM Punk," and Stephanie's many uses of the Yes chant and "I BURY DANIEL BRYAN," and stuff like that? That's what keeps them fresh for me despite their PG Diet Vince antics.

Anyway, this Raw sounded painfully boring. Adam Rose's heel turn is near the top of "interesting things," which tells you how desperate the writeup looked to me. Maybe somehow those six can make something out of this nonsense. At least the midcard has a story for once.

Rollins being added to the title match should excite me, but all I can think is that it increases Cena's odds of winning by about 500%.

So glad I forwarded though 80% of Raw tonight. 18 minute segment just to fire 3 guys?

I really miss when they would do things like qualifying matches for The Rumble and stuff like that leading up to the PPV. Now I guess they just know that the Rumble sells itself and they don't need to do poo poo.

I paid for the PPV on the flipps app purely out of accessibility and the fact the english commentary was a nice little addition to help me understand the product. Really considering doing this option now too because that event was worth the full PPV price. Even though there is no other English commentary, what I saw is definitely worth WWE network money.

I am glad to see that the Ascension (ILLUMINATI!) got buried by commentary possibly even more than Bryan used to by Cole, at least then it was just one guy and not the whole desk actively insulting the product.
