WWE Raw & Smackdown Weekly Thread

[whalers90]

i never got a chance to post this the other day. so i watched the 1000th RAW ON monday & not on replay but i did record smackdown just to see what fallout there may be or such....now i havent watched smackdown very often but JEEZ! it seems like smackdown is basically just a RAW recap show! i think there was 2 matches and everything else was just about RAW1000!
is smackdown like that every week?

@moonchild- those touts are so freaking annoying,not only because they are typical "GOOD" company stuff but half the time you can't really hear them that well. and it goes to show that this country for sure has ADD when you have people commenting on a show that you are watching/watched. it must be a dream come true to get your TOUT on RAW!

i also caught the end of RAW last night after my hockey game and i was watching the crowd reaction when CENA had SHOW in the sleeper hold and i was talking to my tv saying "isn't it obvious people???....unbeatable Cena is going to win or CM Punk is going to interfere and it is going to be a triple threat"
little did i know that a mere 15 minutes later....it would be a triple threat.

Actually, it seems like Smackdown is often a Raw recap, along with a couple new matches.
Speaking of the part I put in bold, NBC is doing the same damn thing with the Olympics. They interrupt the Olympic games to show commercials for the Olympics. I won't get too into that subject because I can go on and on about how much NBC sucks on tv and internet. I digress.
But yeah, I know that they can't have every moment be unpredictable, but some of these WWE moments are almost insulting, aren't they?

Yes he is! :banger:

 

[Moonchild22]

Remember Maryse Ouellet? She was awful in the ring and her character was bland, but still...damn hot. Here's an August calendar.

 

[darkwarrior3007]

I do remember Maryse Ouellet and I thought she was somewhat decent by the end of her career in WWE. She came a long way from when she first started.

I wonder how long the 3 hour Raws will last. I was hoping they would use that time to give us more lengthy matches, but they decided to fill the time with 3-4 mentions of the fire that happened earlier or re-hash the feuds. And the Tout things are just ridiculous. I was fine with the whole Twitter thing because it was mentioned briefly and/or during matches, but the Touts got to stop. WWE need to quit trying to jump on the newest social media fad and focus on being a wrestling company

^I didn't read it, but I'm sure I know who you're referring to, and no, he isn't.

My thoughts when he came out, besides "nooooo!!" "goddammit" and "sonofabitch":
Great. Now all the kids and bitches are wetting themselves because Randy Orton's back.
Lawler: "Everyone in this arena is on their feet at the sight of Randy Orton!"
(reality): "Every boy under 15 and females under 30 are on their feet and everyone else is still seated because they don't care...But Cole, I've got wood! He's as oily as ever! (high pitched squeal laugh)".
I still say fuck that guy. He's a cunt.

Unrelated...
Allow me to beg your indulgence....Vickie Guererro's "Elaine Benes" dance moves were great.
Damien Sandow to Brodus: "Someone had better telephone your mother, my portly fellow".

They're really pushing the whole "Paul Heyman talked about HHH/Steph's family, you don't do that" thing, aren't they? That makes me think Paul will be pushing that angle some more. Maybe a kidnapping or something like that.

Daniel Bryan: "I want you people to stop chanting YES!"
(translation): "Everyone chant YES more...all the time".
TNA is suffering from the Yes chants now, too. It's not as bad as "What", but it still feels so out of place in that company.

I love how AJ referred to Daniel as "That little guy in the ring". Coming from her, that has to be one hell of an insult.

Anyone else think these Touts are a horribly worthless waste of air time? If I want to watch a bunch of jackoffs on the internet...I'll look on the internet.
Besides, they only air the most generic ones who are saying exactly what the WWE wants them to say. They won't air the ones with an actual opinion. Touts stands for "Totally overrated uninspired trivial shit".
I don't care what they have to say on Tout - I don't care what's trending on Twitter in the middle of a match - I don't care what the viewer ratings were last week compared to other shows.

i watched my recorded UHD replay of RAW yesterday morning....OMG!!!!!! how many times did they rehash this HHH v Lesnar storyline???

i don't think the show is actually 3 hours, with every storyline segment they replayed and rehashed i think the video segments took up about an hours worth of the show so it's still only 2 hours but in a 3 hour block!

More brakes and video segments...

 

[Moonchild22]

More brakes and video segments...

Agreed, but what they have are breaks and video segments. Brakes are for your car. I know what you might be thinking: "grammar nazi", but when have you ever heard of a Nazi trying to help people...or not kill them for their incorrectness?

Raw, but why bother? Same as usual. Not worth it, except for a few seconds that was interesting during the Lesnar/Heyman/HHH/HBK segment. Paul Heyman is more entertaining than anyone they have in the company right now. His mannerisms when Brock took the microphone from him was great. I wonder what they're going to do to HBK.
Brock to HHH: "I'll see you at Summerslam" Brock to HBK: "You...Yes, you...I'll see you before then".
Maybe Lesnar will show up at HBK's ranch.
By the way, am I the only one who think Michaels should just stay away from WWE shows? Let us remember you as the greatest in-ring performer of all time, not as "that old guy who keeps showing up, making us less excited each time". He's going to become another Mick Foley.

CM Punk is doing a piss poor job so far as a return heel. I have a really bad feeling that he's on the verge of getting buried by Cena. I am on the verge of not watching anymore, between this garbage going on and the return of overrated dumps Orton, Mysterio and Kelly Kelly.

i cant comment on any of this until i watch the UHD replay.

 

[Moonchild22]

Yeah, sorry if that ruins anything. I wouldn't post about what happened on the show, but I figure that if someone hasn't watched it yet, then they would assume not to read threads/sites about it until afterwards, unless they don't mind spoilers. Still, no one can compete with NBC when it comes to spoilers during the Olympics. They are the masters of spoilage. Network of Bumbling Cocksuckers.

oh no that is perfectly fine,i come here tuesday morning and see what people post about the show. i had so many things that i DVR on monday that i can't do them all AND raw all on the same night. but those shows have ended so maybe i can go & record Raw instead of waiting until saturday.
spoilers....can there really be spoilers for wrestling?

 

[Moonchild22]

^Ah, point taken.

Trish Stratus has mentioned her 'fantasy matches':
http://www.trishstratus.com/news/index.php?news=921

TrishStratus.com caught up with Trish yesterday after WWE.com listed her and the Fabulous Moolah at #8 on a list of fantasy matches that never happened. She replied that the WWE Universe seems to want to see her and Lita to face off against Beth Phoenix and Natalya. But she personally would have liked to deliver Stratusfaction to Kharma.

Trish also commented on the currently mean spirited Eve Torres adding: "With her behavior lately, I think a chick kick may settle her down a tad."

Is there a match you wanted to see from Trish that never happened? Let us know in the comments below!

Trish and Lita vs Phoenix and Natalya sounds interesting, but I'm getting the impression that she's not so confident in her abilities and would rather take the safer route and face an easier opponent in Eve. It would be over as quickly as she does that painfully uninspired pointing-in-the-air motion she does during her entrance (which, by the way, Kelly Kelly ripped off...It's like stealing a gum wrapper).

 

[whalers90]

i didn't watch RAW replay yet but i watched smackdown last night.
#1- since vicki is dolph's advisor... for non storyline purposes is she dating these guys? dolph,edge back in the day.
#2- i am perfectly fine with the named GM's since it has been an open spot for how long? almost 2 years?besides the Laryngitis GM tenure,but can the GM's act a little more professional? does AJ Lee need to make some big matches then skip around the ring like a little girl?
does Booker need to ALWAYS throw his catch phrase into the mic work? i feel that he/they should keep the "now can you dig that sucka!" for a real important "angle" on the shows and not make it a weekly staple of his GM reign.
AND BTW- why did they end the Laryngitis angle? did they feel that it was a failed experiment? i loved it each week when he came out.i think they should have had him expand after the whole Cena-Big Show angle to still be a backstabbing GM but to let the Cena,Punk,Big show angle go off on it's own.

 

[Moonchild22]

The Jericho vs Ziggler vs Miz match was a really good one, in my opinion, despite the obvious way it was bound to end, given who is in who's corner. The match itself was really good. I wish Jericho would recruit a female to be in his corner to even the odds with Ziggler having Vickie cheating in his corner.

That's all I'll say, otherwise I'd be nitpicking everything else on the show. I'm tired of saying the same things all the time. We all know.

Oh, but I was impressed to see Kaitlyn has improved her ring performance. I didn't notice any botches and she was keeping a good pace. I knew she was capable of improvement and if she keeps at it she can be champion someday. Layla has improved, too. She and Kaitlyn team up well. Beth Phoenix is a trooper for continuing to take a back seat to the popularity of others. Eve, well, I know other people like her, but I don't. I really hope she doesn't get the job as Smackdown GM assistant to Booker. Kaitlyn will have to beat her on Smackdown so she can get that job.

Where's Natalya? They put Kharma in but not Natalya? What do I care, I haven't bought a WWE wrestling game since Smackdown vs. Raw 2010.

 

[pluggs999]

I thought SummerSlam was just so-so and boderline boring. It wasn't bad just not real exciting. The crowd in LA was dead and that could have been some of the problem. It had it's moments but they were few and far between in my opinion.

 

[whalers90]

so i set my DVR to record RAW, since i play hockey on mondays,and i don't have to wait until saturday night for the replay on UHD.
WELL i have to record the UHD replay anyway because i set RAW which is scheduled to run 8-11:05 for an extra 7 minutes so i had until 11:18 which most times is way too much since the show may run like 1 minute past 11:05.... well i missed the end of the show because it ran WAY over!!
And did jericho really get his contract terminated?? or is it FOZZY TOURING time? YEP FOZZY TIME!!!NEW ALBUM NEW TOUR TO SUPPORT ALBUM
