Monday Night Raw - April 29, 2013 LD

[Vincent Michaels]

So we have Kane, the Best Wrestler In the World...and Daniel Bryan all on the same team? Not bad.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

It's called advancing angles without the need for random matches.

Please explain to me how a dance off between Fandango and The Great Khali advanced anything? Or how the tug of war segment was better than Mark Henry beating Tons Of Funk in a handicap match followed by a post match attack from Sheamus would have been?

Kane's great and all, but I wouldn't call him "the best wrestler in the world."

 

[smizzy]

So.. Reigns and Rollins vs. Hell No at Extreme Rules?

 

[Nate DaMac]

I swear if I missed all of DB's offense in that commercial break I am going to be pissed.

 

[Vincent Michaels]

You clearly don't get it.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

So.. Reigns and Rollins vs. Hell No at Extreme Rules?

I'd say it'll be Ambrose and Rollins. They've already given Shield a second finisher with just those two.

But Reigns would make more sense considering Ambrose is somewhat "the leader" of the group and Reigns matches the power of Kane.

 

[Bernkastel]

Kane's great and all, but I wouldn't call him "the best wrestler in the world."

From a subjective standpoint I'd agree with him.

 

[Nate DaMac]

You clearly don't get it.

I think you're the one who didn't get it.

 

[The Butcher]

I feel like he'd never be in a match tonight if it wasn't.

Well, earlier I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, as J.R. confirmed the legitimacy of the injury in his blog and credited Cena for playing through the pain. The way they've overplayed their hand tonight, though, I'm simply convinced it's not legit in the least. I'm glad Ross is kayfabing his blog, though, as it makes it that much easier to disregard his "opinions."

Fandango got to show off and beat up on Khali since Jericho wasn't around while still advancing their feud. And why would I want to see Mark henry beat a monster tag team in a Handicap Match? His gimmick is The World's Strongest Man, and he showed it tonight without having to crush another tag team completely.

 

[Vincent Michaels]

I think you're the one who didn't get it.

I think everybody gets it.

 

[HBK/RKO]

It does look to be a work. They might be setting it up for Ryback to take the title due to Cena's injury. I must say this raw pretty much was useless and barely advanced any storylines heading into extreme rules.

Agreed. There's usually a better ratio of good segments to bad even on sub-par episodes, but I can't find much redeeming about tonight's show. It was just there. If I weren't an IWC regular, I have no doubt I'd forget pretty much everything that just happened by next week. I still might.

You know, other than Shield/Team Hell No, Swagger/Ziggler/Del Rio, Cena/Ryback, Orton/Show, Kaitlyn/AJ, and Sheamus/Henry, you're totally right.

You're not seriously defending this nonsense, are you? This shit was weak. Totally phoned in.

 

[Dream]

Best Raw In A LONG Time

 

[Dream]

i wish kane would do the "sit up" like he used to do. wonder why he stopped doing that.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Well thank god that's over.

 

[HBK/RKO]

Yep exactly. If someone asked me what happened on tonight's raw, I think I could say you missed absolutely nothing and be extremely accurate with that statement.

I don't think Kane possesses the strength to do a sit-up anymore.

 

[KnowYoRole]

i know that's a joke, but it doesn't make any sense.

I really hope that title is sarcasm.

He's fat. Fat people have a hard time sitting up. I know this from experience.
