Raw LD Thread (7-1-13)

Maybe for an accomplishment. But I've heard JR refer to him in the pioneer sense, like "this guy was a great catch wrestler or innovator" sort of way.

I do kind of wonder if there will be a time when they'll recognize talents accomplishments beyond the promotion

 

[The Butcher]

Speaking of the crowd, where are they at? I didn't bother to look when I was grabbing the pic/preview, and I don't think they've said yet. Looks like a small arena.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

This. Crowd. Is. Not. There. NXT crowds get more decibels

 

[Diet Soda]

The Usos and Roman Reigns are related somehow, am I right?

 

[Con T.]

You know, sometimes when i see the Usos, wonder if Umaga actually died, or just transformed like Majin Buu into two different Kid Buus

 

[klunderbunker]

They're in Sioux City, Iowa.

He's the second form of the what I like to Umajin Buu

 

[The Butcher]

Cousins of some degree.

You are, technically. They're "blood" relatives without any DNA similarities at all lol. I know that Reigns and The Rock are cousins with Rikishi, and Usos are Kishi's cousins so whatever that makes them and Reigns, that's their relation lol.

 

[The Butcher]

They're in Sioux City, Iowa.

Thanks, KB.

WWE should know better than to emanate Raw from these midwestern burgs. People just don't react. Meanwhile they're sending SmackDown down here to the fourth largest city in the country, a guaranteed sellout, and they'll dub over us even when the reaction will be 10 times what it is tonight.

 

[Diet Soda]

Thanks for clearing that up for me fellas. I wonder if the family tie had anything to with the Usos' sudden push, since it did come out of the blue.

I saw someone else mention this in a thread, to which I scoffed, as I do now.


They are getting a push because who the hell else are the Shield supposed to defend against? Brodus and Tensai?

 

[The Butcher]

They really should show that Ambrose promo. It deserves airtime.

Actually the Uso's are Rikishi's sons.

Weird seeing Dolph on his lonesome.

 

[The Butcher]

Looks like they're taking my advice and just letting Dolph drift away from Big E and AJ.

Drift? He flew away from Big E and AJ.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Im surprised the Ziggler face turn took this long. "Male stripper" is pretty much vince's favorite babyface character. Hence why despite continual disrespect of the buisness, idiocy, being a shiiiiitttt draw, and general jackassery, he woud stop at nothing to push HBK back in the day

 

[The Butcher]

Tokyo Drift.

 

[Trill Co$by]

Wonder if Big Zeke and Big E will ever be reunited on WWE TV... or I think it was Zeke and Langston...

Another trio of upper-to-mid-carders, I guess, but MitB does tend to eat them all up. Admittedly, it's a big step up for the Usos and a sizeable step down for the Shield.

Don't get me wrong Norcal, I'm chuffed to see the tag divison getting airtime, I was just curiouser to the relationship between Reigns and the Usos, and if it could've affected the booking. I don't think there's a backstage Samoan conspiracy.

 

[The Butcher]

Awful lot of offense from Mahal. Don't hinder Jinder, as the saying goes.

 

[Trill Co$by]

Oh look 3MB guy lost...

 

[The Butcher]

Ah, now there's the 3MB I know!

Beware that red rep wave coming your way. Don't preach truth to the fanboys.
