08/11/14 Raw LD - Happy birthday, brother!

[Alastor]

So like I tuned in and saw a recap of TNA 2 years ago...

 

[Lee]

So Meg's apparently a Storm alumni called Jaida https://www.facebook.com/JaidaProWrestler

 

[The_Reptile_]

Although points for properly using the term 'affair' this time around.

 

[#tamale]

That Sin City movie looks all kinds of awful

 

[Lee]

Plus if Bryan rejects the notion is he "Denial Bryan"?

 

[TJ Matics]

So because TNA did an affair storyline recently-ish, the idea was stolen? I'm guessing of course I don't watch TNA, but if they did do it that has to be the case. Getting into your opponents head about her relationship, not to mention marriage, is unheard of otherwise.

 

[JoeFromTomsRiver]

What percentage of people would think I was insane if the night after WM I said "in 4 months, Swagger will be a babyface involved in a hot feud for Summerslam, and Cesaro will be toiling away as a heel jobber"

 

[rbv13]

Who in the hell cuts Swagger's hair? GD it is terrible.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Plus if Bryan rejects the notion is he "Denial Bryan"?

 

[The Brain]

A romance movie could be written well.. but if the star doesn't fit the role no one will buy it.... in this case... No one cares about Brie Bella..

I think this would work better if they put a Diva people care about in Brie's place.

The story itself is okay, but would work better with someone else in the starring role.

Example of a story that makes sense... Russev / Swagger

This is about the McMahon vs. Bryan feud. People care about Brie because they care about Bryan.

Can you PLEASE stop trying to imply that everyone who doesn't care for this angle is sexist? Jesus, man. You're really driving this into the ground.

Driving it into the ground? You mean like all the people that bitched about them closing Raw for the past two weeks? Those irrational complaints were driven into the ground. Forgive me for being among the two or three people to say something positive about the angle while everyone else drives into the ground their dislike for it.

Yes, it's better than most other Diva storylines. Some real competition there. I'm not liking it because there using a LOT of airtime on a story that has no positive end game. It doesn't matter.

The live crowd has liked the story in every town. What is the positive end game in Ambrose vs. Rollins or Reigns vs. Orton? We'll see what the payoff is at SummerSlam.

 

[J-Dogg]

Master of the uppercut

 

[Vageena Hertz]

Cesaro sucks.

 

[Chrome]

Swagger getting his swag back

 

[Slash-LN]

I was hoping Stephanie was going to come out she was a horse and then confess she was a broom.

Nobody cares if WWE stole the idea. People care because it was a shitty idea.

 

[L@RISANO]

Seeing Cesaro job by tapping is just....

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

I don't think there will be a positive outcome for Brie/McMahon, since I believe Nikki goes heel on Brie. It's the only way for the feud to continue.

 

[J-Dogg]

Cesaro rules he always delivers, but he tapping out sucks though

 

[BigManJ]

Kremlin Gremlin, lol!

 

[JoeFromTomsRiver]

Liberal Oregonians didn't like the "Deportlandia" comment.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Nice Family Guy reference

 

[ahawki06]

Rusev Crush!

 

[rbv13]

Who would have guessed at WM these two would be in these spots. Swagger on top and Cesaro in the shitter.

 

[J-Dogg]

Cesaro will rise again

 

[Chrome]

This is about the McMahon vs. Bryan feud. People care about Brie because they care about Bryan.

Doesn't seem like it, numbers don't lie, 4th quarter ratings dropped each week the last 2 weeks with their segment...

Now if the roles changed and Brie was played by AJ Lee ... I bet you this SAME storyline would be 100% more entertaining.

Brie has never been a solid babyface, she is the wrong person for this role..
