Raw 5/1/2015 LD - Someone Leaves In An Ambulance!

[L@RISANO]

.....please tell me you don't think those were original lines.

I'm just amazed the guy gets bagged regularly, when he has to say shit like that on TV because some dumbass writes it and they have him learn it, because none of it fits what his persona is supposed to be...

 

[klunderbunker]

I like Ascension a lot. I see nothing wrong with being basically a tribute to two of the best tag teams ever, especially when we haven't seen a team like them in years.

My question to all the people criticizing them: would you rather see someone who end matches in thirty seconds, or would you rather see some makeshift tag team vs. the tag team of the month for another five years in a row with almost nothing new to say? I'll take a team that's actually something fresh over another rehash of the Usos vs. Goldust/Stardust all day.

JBL just shit all over another NXT talent. Great job JBL you fucking stupid piece of shit.

Try again.

SPEAR!
And nobody cared.

 

[Navi]

Also, why does Roman Reigns have so many pockets?

To carry all his hair products. Only a guess.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

I do have one MAJOR bugging question from tonight's episode. Instead of using Booker T as a King replacement, why not put someone like Renee Young up to the test instead, give her a shot?

 

[Bernkastel]

I am aghast right now

I would call it a new low for the commentary team but I don't think they can sink much lower. At least Booker is trying to keep things interesting.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

this crowd is awful

 

[klunderbunker]

Also, here's how we get a new superhero over: have Big Show beat the tar out of him.

Because instead of burying talent like The Ascension, she might actually talk about how great they were in NXT.

@KB, I think the issue some have with the Ascension to this point is the lack of impact in their debut. There was a lot of hype since speculation of their call up began to make it's way around the net. There are also a large number of casuals who don't know shit about the classic teams.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

Oh look how quickly this turned around.

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm guessing the idea is to have the announcers be proven wrong by Ascension down the road. This seems to go with WWE's philosophy of tearing someone down and building them back up, paying no attention to the fact that this almost never works.

They beat former Tag Team Champions in their debut and then get buried for beating up jobbers. That makes no sense.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

I hope this leads to a match between the two at the Rumble, meaning Reigns doesn't even get into the main match.

 

[Vageena Hertz]

For fuck sake

 

[Johnny Scumm]

So, John Cena, Dolph Ziggler & all those guys aren't trending on Twitter...but Darren Young is.

 

[#tamale]

Why?! Why can't Big Show fucking lose? Why the fuck do they have to protect him? Instead of pushing a our hot young talent, let's keep protecting the Big Show, someone who has been on our televisions since 1995.

 

[Navi]

Chip's and chutney's. Someone kill Booker T now. What an asshole.

 

[klunderbunker]

So Big Show just squashed Roman Reigns and then got DQ'd for being him up too badly. AND IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE! Your Wrestlemania hero ladies and gentlemen.

I'd wish people actually give them a chance rather than bagging them after a couple of appearances because they indeed are something different to all the other teams in the tag division currently.

 

[rbv13]

@KB, I'm not saying how they have been booked is right or wrong. It is more of an observation as to how their debut was anticipated.

Beating an already battered Miz & Mizdown wasn't that spectacular.

Actually I don't think this method has worked in any time period. Some people are just destined to become popular and succeed no matter what. Others are destined to fail for the same reasons. The Ascension seems charismatic and they've got my attention. Hopefully they are part of the former.

Tell me about it...

He better get screwed at Rumble or he's definitely going to be booed out of the building big time with such crap booking.
