RAW LD 4 January 2016- Yeah its the Ist Raw of 2016!

[J-Dogg]

Bullet Club baby, I never watched much New Japan stuff but I should watch more in prep for them. But this is huge news.

 

[Navi]

Yeah, this shit came out hours ago on the pay sites.

Yea I saw it when I got home from work on the Wrestling Observer. My son told me about it.

 

[Black Anaconda Vise]

As I'm reading the recap on the main page, it appears as I've missed the formation of the Social Outcasts and Heath Slater getting a win on TV. Damn

 

[Coco]

FINN BALOR, AJ STYLES, DOC GALLOWS, SHINSUKE NAKAMURA, KARL ANDERSON.

THE BULLET CLUB IN WWE

ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHERS

ONE OF THESE THINGS JUST DOESN'T BELONG

 

[BaconBits]

I'm shocked they brought back Gallows. I'm even more shocked they're bringing in Styles. Awesome.

If they're serious about making NXT a full touring brand pandering to smarks, it's fucking brilliant.

 

[rbv13]

I'm very happy for Anderson. I was in the building for his first match every. The guy put on some classics in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. He regularly comes back to work for his home promotion. Very cool ass dude.

 

[Kodo Sawaki]

Reportedly they were just interested in signing them. Though just read that they really did sign them.

Damn, AJ Styles in WWE.

 

[Reflection]

Vince is really enjoying himself out there..

Their promo was kind of weird but I'm definitely interested to see where they go with this, if anywhere.

 

[Bagpipes]

It'll be so nice to completely overhaul the upper card, push guys like Zig and Sheamus back to mid card where they belong.

Imagine a Rollins vs Nakamura vs Styles vs Cena Fatal 4way match on a WWE PPV. Holy fuck.

 

[LBGetBack]

He definitely doesn't hold people back. That's for sure.

Not a lot of future Hall of Fame wrestlers would put Fandango over at Wrestlemania the way Jericho did.

I'm pretty much over all part time wrestlers though.

And old wrestlers that I never cared much for like the Dudleys and Tommy Dreamer.

I see your point, though Jericho is usually "full-time" when he's around even if it's only a few months run. But he's at least around every show and feels like he's part of the product. "Part-time" in the sense that we know he's not sticking around long-term I guess, but he's at least consistently there every week when he's around, save for his one-off WWE network or PPV's in the last year or so.

I thought Styles was injured right now.

 

[Da Prophet]

I wonder if Vince even knows Gallows worked for him before.

Meltzer would give it 5 stars

 

[BaconBits]

Meltzer would give it 5 stars

He'd have carpal tunnel 4 seconds into the match.

I get your point too.

I guess I'm just a bit jaded.

I'm like that with Undertaker too. Used to like him but now when he comes around for a match I couldn't care less.

But yes Jericho is at least solid and that's more than some other veterans can say.

 

[Kodo Sawaki]

I wonder if Vince even knows Gallows worked for him before.

They could always play him Punks speech to HHH and Johnny Ace to remind him.

 

[Coco]

I wonder if Vince even knows Gallows worked for him before.

Who could forget biscuits and gravy?

 

[rbv13]

I thought Styles was injured right now.

Banged up but still working. Challenged for the ROH title not long ago and just put in a show at WK10.

 

[Slash-LN]

I wonder if Vince even knows Gallows worked for him before.

Have you ever heard Jimmy Wang Yang's story about Vince not knowing he didn't work there anymore?

 

[Bagpipes]

I thought Styles was injured right now.

Nah, I think he was before ROH Final Battle late last month but came back for his match with Lethal and then wrestled Nakamura at Wrestle Kingdom yesterday/today.

 

[BaconBits]

Banged up but still working. Challenged for the ROH title not long ago and just put in a show at WK10.

If they really do the Balor Club, he could get away with not wrestling all that much.

 

[Da Prophet]

Nobody cared about Ziggler before the NJPW guys were signed and now they care even less.

Have you ever heard Jimmy Wang Yang's story about Vince not knowing he didn't work there anymore?

Nope.

 

[Reflection]

I wonder if Vince even knows Gallows worked for him before.

Meanwhile, Ryder is just happy that Bill Demot doesn't work there anymore.

 

[rbv13]

Fucking give us Balor vs. Styles at NXT Dallas for the strap.
