WWE: Monday Night Raw #184 - The Roman/Jinder Era

[BigBadBruins7708]

@I Eat Crow i don’t know why Sasha and Bayley can’t both be heels on the same show and run together

yup, them both heel sets up nicely as Ronda's next feud after Jax

 

[M.C.G. 31]

The only positive from Raw is that Rollins got the win in a match where Roman was his partner.

gotta keep that momentum for Rollins going so Roman can turn heel on him can go over him later on

 

[Emperoreddy]

That is my fear with all of this. They are making Seth look strong on TV, which is great, but where is it going?

IC champ has limits, and he doesn’t really have a featured feud right now. Plus the glass ceiling that is Roman Reigns still exists.

 

[Paris in Flames]

It does have all the signs of the classic build just to feed him to Roman.

I recognize it from the 17 times it happened to Bray.

someone posted a thread on reddit with HHH/Jericho going off script in 2013 and it reminded me of HHH's mini terror reign in 2013 where he and his counterparts would constantly go off script and bicker at each other and turning it all very, very real very quick:

- HHH taking an off script jab at Jericho's scarf in a face-to-face segment
- Edge saying HHH isn't a dictator, but he's just a dick, and that segment devolving into the two of them having a pissing match about who was a draw and who was just a guy; HHH said Edge was "just a guy like Jericho" who wasn't even there that week iirc and Edge (and Jericho on Twitter in response) said HHH never drew a dime in his life and was also just "a guy" who happened to marry into his success.
- A comment about RVD that RVD eventually responded to on Twitter as well around that time iirc.

The Authority was a weird time and it was before NXT really got going imo, and HHH's self-consciousness in relation to other talent was still on display -- especially in regards to Jericho, who -- if there was every any doubt before his NJPW run -- is definitely ahead of Triple H on the all-time GOAT list.

This was also the time where The Authority (mostly HHH) was trying to undercut everyone on the mic and no one could really do anything because, you know, scared for their jobs, so when Edge and Jericho would respond off-script to HHH, it got interesting, hence the shots at "being just a guy who never drew money".

If anyone says otherwise I'd fight them. Jericho is my fave of all time and I despise HHH. I make no bones about my bias dislike towards his character, he bored me to tears on the mic for the most part.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Edge was also always way more entertaining to me than Triple H was after 2002.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Edge is better at everything than HHH, imo.

Hell. If he went into the suit side of wrestling I'm sure he'd excel at that too.

Do you have a link to the Reddit thread? I'd like to peruse that...

When he retired everyone was coming out and praising Edge’s mind for the business and ability to put things together. Cena notably said how much Edge helped him with psychology and putting stuff together in the ring and his attention to detail.

I’m on mobile now. It’s just a video clip of a time where HHH riffed on his scarf mid-promo for no reason and Jericho fires back about his pink tie. The fun is in the comments. Idk if it’d still be on the first page.

I'm rather loathe to go to Reddit while at work, but I may have to do it.

Admittedly, my desire to watch wrestling has waned considerably, that only the return have Daniel Bryan has provided me reason to check in on the forum from time-to-time (if CM Punk came back, regardless of how he's treated the business since leaving, he'd still immediately grab my attention).

 

[M.C.G. 31]

GOAT storyline idea r/sc has ever come up with

"They should do an angle where he [Lashley] says Trump stills owes him a favour so he's going to get Kevin and Sami deported"

Edge is one of the best heels WWE has ever seen. He was so naturally good at it. One of my all time favourites

 

[I Eat Crow]

The title needs to come off Lesnar at Summerslam. It's a joke it's not being defended at MITB.

 

[Conrad McBenis]

Tonight's RAW is going to have purely shit ratings.

Memorial Day
Game 7 NBA
Game 1 SCF

 

[Paris in Flames]

You're definitely not wrong but I would suggest Brock having the belt has been a joke for a long, long time.

 

[Cor]

They should have Brock Lesner leave with the Universal Championship, so they can reintroduce the World Heavyweight Championship.

And then if Brock ever comes back, it's an easy first feud.

 

[GKJ]

Tonight's RAW is going to have purely **** ratings.

Memorial Day
Game 7 NBA
Game 1 SCF

That's why they're promoting the women's gauntlet and Seth hard, they know it's going to only be a hardcore audience

They'll have 15 minutes to impress the hockey fans and an hour and 15 minutes to impress the non-hockey fans.

women's gauntlet?

 

[The Gongshow]

It is weird considering WWE is trying to make MitB part of their big 4 (now big 5)

 

[Kairi Zaide]

that's how you win an audience on a very busy sports night, everyone

 

[Kairi Zaide]

no braun

you need to throw the ladder at the brief case hard enough to make the briefcase fall

 

[Sheppy]

“Money min ma mank ladder match”

Jesus, Kurt.

 

[Jussi]

What? Strowman vs Balor again?
