Raw 3/06/17: The Gift of Jackhammer

[Kodo Sawaki]

So, no info that we didnt hear before from Goldberg?

 

[klunderbunker]

To be fair, it wouldn't make any sense to keep it on KO either. Then you would have hamstrung two titles on one match.

Owens costs Jericho the US Title say, tonight, and the Universal Title is set up for Wrestlemania. Easily done and no Goldberg.

 

[BaconBits]

Well yeah, they can edit those.

They're better than Heyman cutting literally the same promo every week from now until Mania.

But Owens as champ isn't a spectacle worthy of Mania. Mania exists on its own little universe where the regular rules don't apply. I'm not saying it's right, but it's been that way since the part timers started taking over half the card.

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Enzo has the worst ring attire.

 

[OYDK]

Or the Cubs in 2016.

Main page says Backlash is also going to be in Chicago? Da hell? Same arena gets a well-placed Raw on the build to Mania and the first Smackdown PPV after Mania less than 3 months apart? Horseshit.

It's about the bigger general audience marquee and Vince is drooling over the PR with a possible MMA/Boxing press conference on ESPN with the big men and his Universal Title sitting right there.

Guaranteed sellout. Money talks and bullshit walks.

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Triple threat set up for Mania.

 

[OYDK]

Triple threat set up for Mania.

I'm already planning my smoke break.

 

[Navi]

The people sitting behind Cesaro and Sheamus don't look happy with two 6 footers blocking their view.

I guess so. I want to catch a decent PPV. Haven't been to one since Rumble '14 in Pittsburgh. I'll be in Philly June 2nd and 3rd for a vacation... June 4th is Extreme Rules in Baltimore. Extreme Rules is always kind of weak... But it's something to do.

The fans seemed to love the idea of Jericho vs. Owens for the US Title. I don't see how it's that big of a difference. Go with something that might be a little underwhelming to what could be a disaster/squash for the title.

Agreed. Nashville never gets shit. And when we do, we get to see segments like Katie Vick.

 

[shafe_41]

ATLANTIC CITY SWEATHOGS!!!!

 

[Wildcat66]

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Enzo owes Cesaro a coffee.

Loved Rick Rude, you Wrestlezone sweat hogs!

[shafe_41]

Ticket to Extreme Rules confirmed. I better see something amazing. I just want a Kurt Angle appearance.

Wrestlemania isn't about the every day wrestling fans. It's about the people that come around once a year.

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Thats his special move? A suplex that 25 other wrestlers do? Thats about as shitty as a running dropkick or a weak belly to belly suplex.

 

[Navi]

Wrestlemania isn't about the every day wrestling fans. It's about the people that come around once a year.

How do you figure that. Someone who only watches once a year isn't going to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars attending a show like Mania. What with air fare, hotels, Axxess and all the other paraphernalia it's not cheap. I would say it is every day fans who would put out the money. The ones who come around once a year will watch on TV an save their cash.

If they have kids, consider it a vacation. No work, kids happy. Happy life.

If they have kids it's even more expensive. A trip to the Caribbean would cost less.

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Well here comes the fatal four way then...
