WWE RAW 1/16/2012 - The Last Son of Funk

[somehetero]

Complete squash. Wow.

This is all just another sub-plot to advance the Cena story. Cena will be super-pissed at Kane because he cost Ryder the title.

 

[Harthan]

Thwagger wins the United Thwates Title.

Vargo Hoat?

(Barbosa will be the only person on the forums that gets this)

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Yeah, that was fairly obvious to be frank.

 

[Big Papa Santo]

To me, it stopped being a world title at the exact moment they stopped calling it one.

I'll still never be able to think of Ezekiel Jackson as a former World Champion, oh and our argument is invalid now because Swagger just won the title

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Furniture. Every were.

 

[The Bearded One]

Ryder to win it back at WrestleMania?

 

[Nate DaMac]

What shitty announcing. Completely no-sold the fact that Ryder kicked out of his finisher twice.

 

[Peoples_Champ]

TBH Jack needs it more than Zack. The right move all around.

Agreed 100%. The Ryder character was so much better in a chase role than a champion role. Swagger should be a champ, his character and size looks like a evil champ-type.

 

[Dutchboy241]

I have no idea where Ryder goes now but Swagger as the US champion was destiny waiting to happen.

 

[mareek]

punk, bryan, and jericho, greatest pure wrestling team of the 21th century?

 

[Kermit]

I'll still never be able to think of Ezekiel Jackson as a former World Champion

Wait.. didn't you just say that you consider it a world championship?

 

[The_Reptile_]

... Makes sense. Ryder got his ass beat by Kane last weak and is fighting Kayfabe injured. He really didn't stand much of a chance here. Doesn't necessarily mean I like it.

 

[The Holy One]

Well considering how Ryder was medically advised not to wrestle and it took 3 Gutwrench Powerbombs to finish him, Ryder actually came off looking very well here.

Absolutely, but the announcers totally botched it.

 

[Big Papa Santo]

I meant that I cant get over the fact that I have to consider him a former world champion

 

[Peoples_Champ]

Squash? Are you guys fucking kidding? He was injured and kicked out of two finishers.

Stupid marks.

 

[somehetero]

No one will ever take the US Title seriously if they keep using it as a vehicle to advance the Cena storyline.

And yea, the announcing is AWFUL. They don't even call moves anymore. Not nearly as bad as TNA though, where Tenay and Taz sound like they're calling a chess match at an old folks home.

"Oh, and it's over. Good move."

 

[somehetero]

Squash from the perspective that Ryder had absolutely no offense and never once controlled the match.

 

[The Holy One]

Absolutely, but the announcers totally botched it.

Oh most definitely, Cole and Lawler used to be so much better than what they currently are. It's quite a shame really. Hell Cole called it a Gutwrench Suplex at some point.

 

[Big Papa Santo]

Did you see the bandages around his chest?

 

[Harthan]

Squash? Are you guys fucking kidding? He was injured and kicked out of two finishers.

Stupid marks.

This:

What shitty announcing. Completely no-sold the fact that Ryder kicked out of his finisher twice.

If the announcers treat it like a squash, it is easy to perceive it as a squash.

 

[The Man They Call WMD]

Shut your moth,lol

 

[Mighty NorCal]

LULZ JONNY L KEEPS THE PIMP HAND SCRONG

 

[CDR]

Hahahahahaha "Shut your mouth."

 

[Hyorinmaru]

time for me to really not give a flying fuck
