RAW Is War (Recap Thread)

[Bang Bang]

At some point recently they added some more raws to the network. I'm watching the episode where stone cod whips taz with his belt to teach him some hespect

stone cold was losing his shit around the days the invasion happened. he brawled with booker t in the frozen food section of a safeway breaking up hongryman dinners over his dreads, threw beers at jerico (which he couldnt catch) and played a drill sergeant to taz

[Bang Bang]

I havent even watched last weeks and now today is a new one. wow just wow

 

[John Mabrey]

lol theyre just rehashing angles from 2002, first the draft now theyre reforming team canada with jericho and a fatter lance storm with a neckbeard

 

[Bang Bang]

so Im wondering if I should just watch wwe smackdown! instead of raw now. if it gets me away from rehashed early 2000s storyllines Im all for it. but, there is this

 

[John Mabrey]

smackdown is the betta show imo

ambrose, ziggler turning heel, cena vs styles>>>>>>>>>>hipster boogeyman, bromance between jericho and KO, new gay, big test and gy 2 hotty, etc

 

[John Mabrey]

oh and sami zayayyayayn is on raw too, fuck that guy and his theme music

ive said it before and ill say it again, dean ambrose is the closest thing to the next stone cold than anyone @Tater Raider

 

[John Mabrey]

im a mark for when wrestlers are about to turn either heel or face, the character development and buildup to the turn is interesting

@sniper

 

[Bang Bang]

lol what the fuck is this?

quick recap mode:


mean dean ambrose cuts a promol about being taken serious, but all he can do is sway back and forth like some white guy george jefferson, making him look like hes too cool for anything.

I mean look, this w1gga sways back and forth like he is some high school kid that just popped four pieces of gum in his mouth to try and disguise his alcohol breath before going home to momma.

he invites dolph ziggy out, and I think the words 'great promo' shouldnt be titled above this video

ziggy said 'Im a big fan of yours. in fact, I think we're a lot alike!' he says that to everyone tho, right before he tries to bite their movesets and outfits

he then highlights how no one takes him serious because he was a male cheerleader. good lawd, dolph even jobs to himself

dean smacks him to reality by saying hes a try hard that fails

dolf yells, and dean no sells it by looking high like he always is

Im not really excited by it

raw is wauugh

august 1, 2016

you remember this one? probably not. good, so I can probably make like half the shit up and you wont be able to know the difference!


sasha 'the safe ratchet' comes out to yap yap yap yap. charlotte is out, and later TALK IS JERICO walks out to hopefully save this abysmal drek. him n charlotte ask 'who has the nature boy ric flair ever beaten?' and with that we have heard the best and worst of this promo.

if ric is no big deal, then why do they consider her royalty and say look at her lineage? smh

scotty too hotty walks out to play pretend ghetto with sasha banks. these two can fake it in a way that makes me say, yawn. I mean wow, tumblr can be so cool, huh guys?

charlotte says that the enzo amore experience is sawft because of all the coke binges hes done. jerico does a spot on tard impression that nails big guido-tests 'lemme spell it owt fo yah' line.

they say stupid shit, so foley joins in to naturally fit in with all this. he makes a match. we dont need a gm. just say 'youre on!' when someone challenges you. viola, five minutes saved.

Do you think there is too much importance placed on makign it seem as if there is a "shock" to a turn? Some of the best turns - and best business coming outo f one - are the turns you see a mile away. Ordorff on Hogan, for example.

 

[Bang Bang]

solid is chasing down a halal truck, so I will step in and say, ...I like heel turns that make sense, thats about it. I do not mind if its a slow turn, thats fine, because the build up will give clues about it and thats fun to watch. and if its a surprise, then the guys gotta be convincing in his new role, or else the turn was pointless outside of that one sec swerve

I would like to give you an example of a bad one, but Id just say wcw nitro and youd get the picture. (stings turn was so stupid)
