Official 8/22 Monday Night Raw Thread - Triple Platinum TKO Bloodbath Edition

[jackswstd]

And then Lesnar squashes Reigns.

 

[Versa]

I know he botched the beginning of his promo, but the same people who claim they want something fresh, different, and for people to get a chance/push are the same people who were chanting "WE WANT SLATER".

Make up ya minds, jackasses.

 

[Conscious Pilot]

Exactly. Perfect example is the "you still suck" chants. I heard plenty of those tonight

They were chanting " you can't wrestle" while he was backstage

 

[Millions]

Titus was so bad he was good promo was trash yet funny as hell lol they need to put him on SD And away from this garbage feud

Bayley nice debut she got next still feel for Sasha glad they teased but ain't fully show her aggressive side in the match tho save that for her title win ...


Big cass should've scrapped the best of 7 and put Cesaro in this...they missed a shot to push him as the top main event face bk would've went wild too ..I ain't feeling cass as a main eventer Bruh trash

Figured reigns would be in the final 4 nice main event JeriKO stay stealing RAW

Big E deserved a shot in the tourney too he need a singles push ASAP

Next week should go like Y2j try's to help KO, Enzo comes out to save and try an Help Cass , Rusev screws Reigns Seth sneaks and steals the win to become the new champ .. If they crowed a new champ last night it would've been a face that's y they waiting til next week

Overall good show still think Sami and Cesaro not being booked right both or one the other should be on SD

 

[Versa]

Roman getting that title next week and gonna send mad ass fans into cardiac arrest

No. Rusev is going to cost him the match.

 

[Millions]

No. Rusev is going to cost him the match.

Yep

 

[Versa]

You know its time to put the thread away when people are saying Roman Reigns is a better wrestler than Seth Rollins

 

[Spyro]

Ppl bytching just to bytch bc reigns is good in the ring

He isn't as good as hipsters on here think. He sells very little, mostly just spams clotheslines, Superman punches and a spear out of nowhere to win the match; mix in a few moves in the middle and a cringy "ROAR" and that's 99% of Reigns matches

Also the guy has no personality, charisma or emotion that I find it so hard to care about his matches. It's just like watching a robot imo, bland, plain with no emotion, just goes through the motions

 

[Spyro]

-I'm not buying the Superman Punch as a power move
-Fun loving, fairy tale referencing Reigns was as cringey as it gets
-He's still using the Shield gimmick and music years after the fact
-MOST IMPORTANTLY, Every time I watch a Reigns match I feel like they're actively trying to brainwash me into supporting him

And I don't even think he's terrible in the ring...those "You Can't Wrestle" chants are absurd.

Guess I'm a smark, but he still has X-Pac/change-the-channel heat until further notice

Spoiler

I'll sell him some Adderall tho

Edit: Oh yeah, the vast majority of his internet supporters strike me as the definition of tryhard contrarian online heels

Yep, totally agree here.

The Superman Punch is a shyt move (I don't give a fukk if it's used in MMA) and he spams it like 4-5 times a match.
Fun loving Reigns was cringey because the guy CAN'T ACT, he can only play one role and that's the "I'm Reigns, I'm a tough guy", that's why they've yet to put him in a movie.
Yeah the fact that he's still using the Shield gimmick/attire/theme is just stupid, probably cause he can only play one role cause he sucks as an actor.

And you're right about the last thing, maybe it's not his fault but everytime I watch one of his matches all I can think of is "Man they're trying so hard for this guy to be liked, this is so desperate". I don't get that with any other wrestler.

And yeah he's not bad in the ring, but he's not great either. Most of his internet fans come across as hipsters trying to be different and go against the flow.

 

[Spyro]

Yo you guys missing this post Raw match. Shyt is hyped. Cena and Ambrose vs Rollins and Styles

Ain't that the post Raw match like every week?

 

[Spyro]

You know its time to put the thread away when people are saying Roman Reigns is a better wrestler than Seth Rollins

It's the hipster mentality bro, gotta try and be different

 

[Spyro]

You know that they won't. He's been consistently putting out great matches since early 2015 but those fans refuse to appreciate his work.

"Great matches"

Spamming clotheslines, superman punches, doing a cringey-as-fukk roar and hardly selling constitutes as great nowadays

And they wonder why WWE's popularity has waned when the bar has been set so low

 

[Spyro]

Kind of amazing how Reigns turned out to be the best wrestler of the Shield.

These hipster nikkas trying SO hard to be different

Every match has indy influence nowadays because alot of the moves are over. You even got Roman doing suicide dives at 270 pounds. He's decent because there's just levels with how talented people are today. I consider someone like Roman decent because people like Zayn and Owens are good while guys like Cesaro and AJ are top tier. And that's just WWE. The guy does some impressive stuff and has a good power moveset but even if he had some good matches this year he's also stunk up the joint with HHH at Mania.

More like 220-230 tops but I'll let you off

WWE just say he's like 50 pounds heavier to make the golden boy seem bigger

"Great matches"

Spamming clotheslines, superman punches, doing a cringey-as-fukk roar and hardly selling constitutes as great nowadays

You're basically the only person to not give him props for his wrestling skills. And you flip flop way too much on your opinions.


Weren't you talking about how Cena was "GOAT" but you want to complain about someone else not selling?

Everyone's favorite wrestling journalist Meltzer () has given high ratings for many of Reigns' matches.

Plus you're a Lesnar fan talking about someone spamming.

 

[Breh Obama]

I swear it's gonna suck if they take Roman off the redemption path he was on and speedway him to the title. I can already see it coming down to him and Seth next week. Seriously doubt they would give it to KO right now.
