RAW LD 8/17/2015

[Savior of Silence]

KO, Cesaro, Ambrose, Orton, Reigns.....at this rate there'll be nobody to cheer for past 9:30

 

[OYDK]

It is, because the writers are hacks who don't know how to do more than three or four ideas.

My exact thoughts when they announced it. We've had like 4 contract signings this year...

 

[klunderbunker]

Case in point: there is no other way to build a big tag other than with singles matches. None at all.

 

[John McCass]

This show has been running apace up until now.

you forgot to add "Singles matches With The Same Guys Over and Over and Over...."
Stuff like that really kills the feud even if the resulting PPV tag match is a 5-star one...

 

[Savior of Silence]

I took a shit during Reigns' entrance...and the match hasn't started yet?

Just like earlier: it's a waste of time that could be used on other things later.

 

[OYDK]

Is this Ambroses first time at the desk? I can't recall him being there before.

 

[J-Dogg]

The Twitter feed at the bottom is full of idiots

 

[rbv13]

I can't decide if I'm a fan of Saxton b/c he hardly speaks or if he is just completely useless out there. Maybe it's both.

 

[Crocker]

never heard Reigns on commentary before

 

[George Steele's Barber]

It is when stuff later on isn't getting enough time because we need to see four entrances, two of which are of midcarders and the third is of a guy who is under the MITB curse at the moment.

What stuff? Rollins and Cena will get plenty of time, UT and Lesnar will get plenty of time, Reigns/Wyatt etc. will get plenty of time. John Stewart is not there. What else is selling SS that will miss out?. The Divas?

The Twitter feed at the bottom is full of idiots

When is Twitter not filled with idiots? Probably the only place that is worse is YouTube.

 

[John McCass]

How easily commentators throw "that could be the end" while it never is!

 

[OYDK]

When is Twitter not filled idiots? Probably the only place that is worse is YouTube.

The comment section on the main page could give either of those a run for their money.

Some fresh names, promos to help build up the matches on Sunday, build for a midcard match that doesn't get its spotlight, maybe a well made package. Any of those would be more valuable than watching the same entrances we've seen dozens of times each.

 

[The Brain]

It is, because the writers are hacks who don't know how to do more than three or four ideas.

1. Contract signing
2. Wrestler doing commentary during rival's match
3. Wrestler's music plays during rival's match causing distraction pin
4. Tag match involving guys in singles matches on upcoming PPV

Did I miss anything?

 

[J-Dogg]

Harper is brilliant

 

[klunderbunker]

That's one of the best big boots I've ever seen.

 

[Crocker]

THey're pushing this whole brotherhood thing so hard between Ambrose and Reigns that its making me think one is turning on the other

Jesus its like a fucking slot machine is writing the storylines.. can't wait for HHH to take over and replace Vince's out of touch ass

 

[OYDK]

Harper and Ambrose have saved this first hour from being completely terrible.

 

[John McCass]

I really wanted Sting to hop in. The crowd is silent at times.

 

[rbv13]

One positive of cutting on air entrance time would be allowing for less commercials during actual matches.

 

[Chrome]

I'm really thinking Reigns might be the one who turns on Ambrose. Reigns is looking more "lifeless" than Ambrose with this feud. It's like he'd have to tap into a side we've never seen from Reigns if Ambrose turned. He'd have to do something besides "just get angry" but Ambrose, he's really been the one carrying this feud with the mic.
