CM Punk & Wrestling's Best Storyline in Years...

[Smithee]

Bo Dallas is fucking great

lol he is, no idea why he would ever wrestle heels tho

That "butterfingers" line had me dyin, yo.

[Brougham33]

Highly recommend listening to Paul Heyman on the Jericho podcast, one of his best shows, plus great insight into why Punk left.

Speaking of which....anniversary of the reason this thread exists

[ayentee]

saw a mention of the podcast on twitter and wanted to check it out, thanks for the reminder.

[907]

Anyone else watching MITB today?

[LilLeftBrain]

MITB'S. HERE COME THE MITB'S!
yeah, haven't watched at all in a couple months but got the pre-show going now

[Pizon]

Watching. Genuinely don't know who's going to win either ladder match.

[ObeseJesus]

That was a solid tag team match. I was hoping Harper and Rowen would win, but they all put on a good show.

[ayentee]

im guessing orton is gonna take the title to set up a double cross from rollins. rollins ambrose for the title at SS

[mike eagle]

not the greatest outcomes but i found the matches hella exciting

[blastmaster]

Cena winning is safe bullshit. The other match was dope as fuck.

[907]

Loved the first match, second one was pretty boring and the outcome was beyond awful.

[blastmaster]

Oh yea Big E's promo was fantastic.

[Smithee]

Oh yea Big E's promo was fantastic.

Dude thinks he's Mark Jackson. Doesn't that not get over w/ "the brass" ?

But hey, maybe Big E will get a W. They're probably gonna keep the feud going w/ Rusev since now that Cena is the champ and gonna fight Brock at SS.

[Ramen]

Cena is just a interim champ until Bryan comes back, I'm cool with that.

No one else could survive a short title run.

[Brougham33]

I thought the crowd was kind of dead after the first ladder match, I've never seen a crowd not want to chant USA, and I thought the title ladder match was awesome but the crowd seemed flat.

-Cena was the only outcome that made sense given the Bryan situation. I'm looking forward to Cena/Brock II. What I'd hope for is that they give us Cena vs Cesaro at battleground, maybe have Brock do a run in at that PPV. This gets Cesaro away from Heymna, maybe turns him babyface.

-Orton is a tough MF, 12 stitches to the dome

-I can watch Sheamus and Cesaro fight forever.

-Is Bray a babyface at this point?


-Harper and Rowan should have gone over, and why'd they switch the entrance music, the one they had last Monday was perfect.

-I'm fine with Paige going over, but I didn't think it should have been 100% clean, finish was dope though:


-I love when Cody gets completely into a character, him wrestling as Stardust is entertaining/hilarious.


-Rollins is nuts, Ambrose is crazy over, I'd like to see them go at it either at the next ppv or summerslam, just build the angle around the briefcase and Dean never letting Rollins cash in. Rollins backdrop onto the ladder was crazy, but this spot just looked incredible:


Last here Sandow won the MITB, this year:

Atleast he makes the best of it.

theres a clip online from the tna nyc tapings of jeff hardy doing a swanton from the top rope to the floor, missing bobby lashley and landing on the fucking steps

[Pizon]

If AJ would have returned 2 weeks ago, her neck tattoo would have been easier to update.

[Sylissez]

Ambrose cutting a promo on the Network about spending two months in a Mexican border town jail for following a guy for 30 miles after he flipped him off and beating him within an inch of his life.

[tehgiftofgab]

second person to mention the ambrose promo on post raw, def watching and seriously wwe has been awesome lately, best raw in a while, which i feel like ive said a lot to myself in the past months

[907]

Just watched the Ambrose promo, great shit. They're letting him get closer to his Moxley era stuff on the mic, which are some of the best promos I ever heard, bar none, in my life. The jail story is exactly like a story he would have told back then, but a PG version.

[Brougham33]

Well goddamn, that was a great Raw. Got Bray his heel heat back, made Paige interesting by turning her heel, and Swagger Hoss Duggan is alive. My only problem is the logic behind the fatal fourway at Battleground, why would Triple H put Reigns in a title match, and why wouldn't Kane just let Orton pin him?

My only problem is the logic behind the fatal fourway at Battleground, why would Triple H put Reigns in a title match, and why wouldn't Kane just let Orton pin him?

I think the logic is he's essentially putting his biggest up-and-coming threat against his most consistent threat, allowing them to cancel each other out so that Kane can help Orton win the belt.

Pretty good Raw. I love the MITB story of Ambrose ambushing all of Rollins' cash-ins.

And how about that Bo trolling?

I think the only reason I didn't like Raw more is that I'm heartbroken over the Barrett injury.

Also sucks that Emma got arrested yesterday for stealing an ipod case from Walmart.

[Ramen]

I didn't think Bo would work on the main roster, but dude has been great.

Haha, I saw that. It was awesome.

"There are only three things that can survive a nuclear explosion: Twinkies, coackroaches, and Dean Ambroses."

at him pluralizing his name.

[Kalel]

Is that promo on the RAW post show? Where can I see it?

[GUCCI CONDOMS]

Is that promo on the RAW post show? Where can I see it?

This

Also we all agree on the below, right?

Bo Dallas > Adam Rose

[tehgiftofgab]

DA NETWORK, RAW POST SHOW

please tell me you're kidding.

True story, as crazy as it is. She got off with community service, her lawyer said it was a "misunderstanding". Wasn't released, but also can't be good for her career.

[zappy]

woof. hope it doesnt make too many problems for her.
