Raw 7-14-14 - Go home to Battleground - Let's find out what Sting was teasing

[TheHellmouth]

I think it's supposed to be Cena won't blindly follow their orders if he thinks it's wrong and Orton will.

Watching Smackdown with my 9 year old niece made me appreciate the Fandango love triangle story. It's her favorite angle going right now somehow and watching it with her made it a lot more fun. She was stoked that the girls finally teamed up against Fandango.

I get the whole heel authority wanting the heel wrestler to be champion. We've been watching that played out story for 16 years. It doesn't make much sense in this case. It made sense with Bryan because he was viewed as a B+ player. Why does the authority have a problem with Cena as champ? They've said he's an A+ player.

Hey.... hey... wait a damn minute....

How DARE YOU USE LOGIC!!?!?!!?!?!?!?!

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

I could get behind Summer and Layla

 

[Harthan]

"Is the match still going on?"

"Who cares?"

Literally everything wrong with wrestling in two sentences.

 

[J-Dogg]

Lol

Ziggler looks like Kurt Russell right here from Tango and Cash lol

 

[TheHellmouth]

I thought the Road to Paloma guy was Roman Reigns at first

So.....

John Cena opens his promo with an ad for the WWE Network. Maybe make it a little less obvious?

What were Cena and Reigns doing as they watched their partner tonight get destroyed? Just chilling in the ring? They didn't decide to help?

They cut to a montage of all of the members in the IC Battle Royal, in the MIDDLE of another match. They cut to girls dancing in the MIDDLE of a different match. Clearly, they don't want us to care about wrestling.

Blatant Sonic product placement.. actually, it's not even product placement, it is a full own live acted commercial.

RAW is unbearable.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Well the crowd did say "Oh!"

 

[klunderbunker]

Well.....I do kind of want some Sonic now.

 

[Slash-LN]

Twisted tea last week
Sonic this week

Wonder what "commercial" we'll see next week. At least the hot dog didn't end up in Sandow's face like I expected.

Now for some awesome Usos action.

 

[jholcomb22]

Flair/Sting reunion?

Yes, Heaven forbid a company advertise its biggest investment at the moment.

They didn't know where it was taking place and didn't have time to search a whole building they're not familiar with?

Here's a recap of what you missed.

Miz held Sheamus in a chinlock.

Sorry you didn't get to see that.

Blatant Sonic product placement.. actually, it's not even product placement, it is a full own live acted commercial.

What do you and WWE have in common? They have bills to pay. The whole thing lasted like a minute. Go check your email or something.

RAW is unbearable.

As are people who complain about missing a chinlock.

Russev/Swagger is gonna go over huge in Richmond VA... calling it now..

Trojans. Sandow is going to come out in a full latex suit.

 

[The Brain]

For those complaining about the Sonic spot, this has been going on for years and years. It's not a big deal.

Snap into a Slim Jim.

 

[Harthan]

I don't mind in show advertising on TV, especially when it's serving the dual purpose of further a wrestler's character. I do find it interesting that this is now Adam Rose's thing though. His role in the WWE continues to be very unclear.

I am very opposed to any advertising on any kind of PPV, though, I feel I should say.

Also speaking of - do you guys remember the commercial free Raws? It'd be fun to do one of those. Maybe even air it on the Network.
