Raw 1/2/17

[BaconBits]

Happy New Years folks. Let's hope the year starts off with a good RAW.

 

[BaconBits]

Shut up Mick.

I don't have that much hope left. But fingers crossed. Why is Foley there I thought he was having his hip replaced.

 

[Navi]

"Cage of Jericho" oh LMAO.

 

[BaconBits]

I totally forgot this show was going to have actual star power tonight.

 

[LBGetBack]

Jericho's facial expression on "lock me in maaaaaan"....LMAO.

 

[Navi]

Oh great Steph. Too bad the ball didn't drop on her on New Year's Eve.

Would have been more entertaining than watching Mariah's career getting murdered.

 

[klunderbunker]

.....Foley looks like he has cancer.

 

[#hamler]

If Owens loses clean I'm turning this off.

Hey it could have dropped on the two of them at the same. And are we having the same main event match's we've seen over and over again to start the year off. SD will be beating them again this week.

 

[LBGetBack]

If Jericho doesn't win the title to at least stir things up a bit, I doubt I'll be watching until the Rumble. You can't just keep having the same matches with the same outcomes every week.

 

[klunderbunker]

The World Champion is in a match to determine if he's allowed to be at ringside for the US TItle match. Oh and he gets to host a talk show where he'll be treated as a second class citizen to someone who has wrestled for 90 seconds in twelve years.

The only reason that happened was Cena's return. Actual stars tend to bring views. RAW has legit starpower tonight in Goldberg. Don't see SD winning just because of that.

 

[rbv13]

Nice to see they're so concerned over SDLive beating them that they open up w/business as usual.

Smackdown has been closing the gap each week since they went live. But like you said they have legit starpower tonight, which means they don't any other week, whereas SD can put on a better show with a roster that isn't so packed. If Cena was the one to tip the balance then SD would have won every week he was on, that wasn't the case.

Legit don't think the know how else to book this show. We've had Reigns, Owens, Rollins and Jericho in almost every main event match on RAW for what seems like ever now.

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

I tune in and behold... Rollins vs. Owens! First time ever.

Agreed, except for when Sasha-Charlotte main evented.....and many here freaked out and complained about that, which was weird.

I can't take anymore meaningless matches from these 4 guys though. Something different has to happen.

That was great when Sasha and Charlotte were the main event, at least it was different.

I am looking forward to possible interaction between Goldberg and Jericho though. They wouldn't actual reference their past history would they?

Cena was gone for a couple months and came back. The hyped the living fuck out of it with that sick promo package. The WWE knows exactly what they're doing. They legit do not care who wins the ratings battle. It's all money.

What would they say about that? Jericho would probably take a Spear just to show how he has outgrown that.

Why would they reference some shit casual fans have no idea actually happened?

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

Cesaro's theme song was the worse when it debuted. Now, it's even worse.
