Raw LD 8/15/2016: The Club Is Having A Ball. Or Two.

IT'S TAZ!

 

[J-Dogg]

The body paint I love it every time

 

[enviousdominous]

Someone forgot the dry ice.

 

[Sean Valjean]

Was genuinely curious if they'd go through the effort of painting Balor up for a non-wrestling appearance.

 

[J-Dogg]

The entrance is just so damn good

 

[klunderbunker]

The fans are getting into the arms pose.

 

[enviousdominous]

Is he wearing belts for hair?

 

[Navi]

What happened before Balor came out, did someone get into the ring.

 

[enviousdominous]

Well, alright then! Give Finn a mic I suppose.

 

[rbv13]

This seems like a waste on Raw. If they weren't going to save it for Slam then they should've debuted it week one.

Crocker was flicked with some of Seth's hair grease, and he rushed the ring.

 

[J-Dogg]

Simple but effective

 

[Navi]

Crocker was flicked with some of Seth's hair grease, and he rushed the ring.

I thought I saw something or someone but they didn't put the camera on them, and Rollins was just staring at them.

 

[klunderbunker]

I like them having Demon Balor come out here. That match needs some buzz and this did it.

I totally agree. It would have happened at the draft. For all the hype Balor's callup got, they botched the everloving shit out of it.

 

[enviousdominous]

I thought I saw something or someone but they didn't put the camera on them, and Rollins was just staring at them.

You could see the guy was wearing a helmet, Crocker can't leave the house without a helmet and a monitor.

 

[Sean Valjean]

Seemed to be a fan. I thought it was part of the segment at first.

 

[Galvatron]

I will never forgive Roman for last week.

 

[Sean Valjean]

I don't mind Demon Balor appearing on Raw, but man do I wish it was in front of a hotter crowd.

Isn't there usually more fog during a Demon Balor entrance?

 

[J-Dogg]

I hope they fix how Finn has been portrayed on raw cause on NXT he was amazing and he still is but having him come out as the alter ego was effective and I enjoyed it for sure.

 

[L@RISANO]

Demon Balor should at least have a different finisher for his demon form. I am surprised he was kind of selling Rollins' offense in that segment as well. Him all out no selling a la Taker would have really shown how much of an upgrade Demon Balor is to plain ol' Finn Balor.


All that said... Awesome Entrance. That will go down really well with all and sundry without doubt.

 

[L@RISANO]

I like them having Demon Balor come out here. That match needs some buzz and this did it.

Agreed. This was really needed and I think it had the desired effect.

 

[enviousdominous]

Is Popeye's chicken a cult?

 

[rbv13]

I've always had a hard time getting into Balor. Incredible in the ring but I can't get overly hyped about a guy I think I could beat up.
