RAW LD 3/21/2016 - Raw-man Raw-eigns

[Sexcellence of Sexecution]

Good to see that they're just going to give away AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens on free TV for a second time. I mean, you could've built to this as an IC Title match on a Network Special but fuck it, you got 6 hours to fill every week.

 

[BaconBits]

Any idea why? I hope he cuts decent promo to be honest. Oh well, he gets more heat than the heel in the ring with him.

Probably dangerous to come through the crowd as much as some crowds hate him. Need to change the music and gear and have him be his own dude now. That way, when the crowd does hear the Shield music in the next couple years the place will go absolutely apeshit.

 

[Shotaro]

I thought you said something else for a minute. LMAO

Oh no not Vince and Taker again, it's been underwhelming so far. Can almost hear their bones cracking.

True story, last time Undertaker's music hit I went to drop the kids off at the pool, had a cigarette and made myself a coffee and he was only half way down the ramp when I got back to the TV.

You got a filthy mind. You should probably shower.

 

[Shotaro]

This should be a good match. Expecting this to not be a match though thanks to Jericho interfering again.

 

[BaconBits]

AJ looks like a midlife crisis personified.

 

[Lee]

Weird that this is a throwaway match but should be decent.

 

[John McCass]

Finally. Watching RAW after 4 months. Glad that it started with an awesome promo by Reigns.

Oh I believe it. I think I've been able to do a load of laundry in the past while waiting for him to get down the ramp.

You got a filthy mind. You should probably shower.

Seems I'm not the only one. LOL

 

[Sean Valjean]

AJ looks like a midlife crisis personified.

A friend of mine thinks AJ looks kind of like Dave Grohl. Now I can't un-see that.

 

[John McCass]

Ouch!

Fuck, now I can't either.

It's the college hair and manicured beard.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

I feel like a Styles/Zayn vs jericho/owens would have been more effective bit oh well. Why not run this match into the ground with zero value

 

[Sexcellence of Sexecution]

#lariatoooooo

 

[John McCass]

This is going good.

 

[Sai the Uganda Guy]

You expected them to do the more effective thing? Ha.

 

[BaconBits]

The kayfabe in the Twitter feed they scroll is hysterical. It's still real to them, dammit.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

This is going good.

ALMOST as though it were ppv quality

 

[Bernkastel]

To the typical smart fan it is. Right before they start spouting off about workrate.

 

[Bernkastel]

This is looking like your typical NJPW match.

 

[Sean Valjean]

Every time AJ hits his Tekken combos, I expect him to launch his opponent and air juggle him.

 

[Sai the Uganda Guy]

The only thing better than the Twitter feed on the screen is the live chats online with Fink. I remember being on for Summerslam 14 and some middle-aged lady posted that she was praying that John Cena would defeat Brock Lesnar.
Wonder how she felt afterward.

 

[Navi]

This is actually one hell of a match.

When ever I see some dipshit on the innerwebz whine about workrate, I eyeroll so hard I detach a retina.
