Posted January 30, 20178 yr comment_5786396 So I'm pretty interested in Raw tonight to see where they go with Roman/Braun, if they do anything to follow up Roman eliminating Taker, whether they plant seeds of an Owens/Jericho match at Mania or go in another direction. Also hoping to see them NOT split up the awesome Cesaro/Sheamus team.
January 31, 20178 yr comment_5786413 Surely there's no way Owens actually gets to Mania with the title.
January 31, 20178 yr comment_5786420 Rollins has been presented as such a geek in this. Didn't look for HHH for months, was distracted by music and then actually stayed away when he was banned from the building. And the fact that he's basically angry that mummy and daddy won't help him cheat anymore
January 31, 20178 yr comment_5786430 And they plant the seeds for Sasha's heel turn. Really need more babyfaces on this show
January 31, 20178 yr comment_5786442 I am starting to think that they are planning a heel turn for Enzo & Cass. These segments are growing longer and longer and the crowds are getting less and less into them. That segment at the Rumble almost turned them for how bad it was Not a fan of short hair Lana by the way
January 31, 20178 yr comment_5786444 I haven't really seen any of their TV stuff, but I thought Enzo and Cass seemed CRAZY over at the Rumble. Or at least their catchphrase bits.
January 31, 20178 yr comment_5786447 Yeah that was so much better than being a little piece to the Royal Rumble. Joe being the muscle for Triple H works great.
January 31, 20178 yr comment_5786449 I can see the general thought that Hunter is attaching himself to the hot new debuting act to leech off of but for one night at least that was incredible. Joe as muscle for Hunter could work. Big time. Imagine Rollins has to get through him at Fastlane to get to Hunter at Mania
January 31, 20178 yr comment_5786450 I don't want to be that guy but the big matches for Mania aren't Rollins vs Joe and Reigns vs Braun. They're Rollins vs HHH and Reigns vs Taker. Logic sort of dictates something in the meantime.
January 31, 20178 yr comment_5786451 Well doesn't look like Joe v Cena at mania either. Probably will be Bray v Orton v Cena now
January 31, 20178 yr comment_5786490 Didn't watch Raw yesterday, catching up right now. Jesus Christ this Seth Rollins segment with Steph would work so much more better if Rollins were a heel. He was saying some pretty fucking horrible stuff. Stalking someone else's children is not really a heroic thing.
January 31, 20178 yr Author comment_5786501 Didn't watch Raw yesterday, catching up right now. Jesus Christ this Seth Rollins segment with Steph would work so much more better if Rollins were a heel. He was saying some pretty fucking horrible stuff. Stalking someone else's children is not really a heroic thing. Yes, that was very very bad and I don't know how Seth is actually a face in all of this. I stopped watching Raw after the Braun/Owens match and the Lesnar segment because that was the only reason I was even watching, so I missed the Samoa Joe debut. But I am kind of amused at the reaction to it all because most of it is people marking out for Joe and it seems clear he's only getting set up to lose to Rollins in his first WWE match as a way to further set up HHH/Rollins at Mania. It just strikes me as odd how people are very positive about that when if it had been done last year & Reigns had to go through Samoa Joe to get his title match with HHH at WrestleMania people would have fallen all over themselves to be the first to say Joe was getting buried by having to lose to Roman.
January 31, 20178 yr comment_5786513 I thought Joe's debut was good, or at the very least interesting. He got some moves of his arsenal in, which is good, and the idea of him being Triple H's brute henchman is a bit interesting, despite him losing at Fastlane being a very foreseeable future. However, I didn't think it got that big of a reaction, at least not as big as one would expect from a surprise debut.
January 31, 20178 yr comment_5786514 I am kind of excited for a Joe vs HHH match six months down the line.

Well, people were also excited when HHH won the Rumble last year even though it made it obvious Reigns would beat him at Wrestlemania. People love HHH even though he's supposedly every bit as behind the Reigns push as Vince, unless you believe the political hit theory, in which case you wouldn't cheer HHH anyway. People are sheep. What else is new?

However, I didn't think it got that big of a reaction, at least not as big as one would expect from a surprise debut. I guess I understand why they wanted to end on that segment but it would have been MUCH better to do that early in the show, possibly even the first segment. Doing a surprise debut at the end of Raw in front of a crowd that's been there almost 4 hours is not going to lead to the optimal crowd response.
January 31, 20178 yr comment_5786529 It's amazing to me how much more of a star and a threat Joe looks like in street clothes than he does in his wrestling gear.
February 1, 20178 yr comment_5786563 Fuck, Harper teaming with Cena to face Orton/Wyatt is some match I never thought I wanted until now
February 1, 20178 yr comment_5786630 I am kind of excited for a Joe vs HHH match six months down the line. Well if this story about Seth Rollins re-injuring his knee on RAW isn't a work, maybe it will be sooner than you think
February 1, 20178 yr comment_5786634 Foley announced he's getting hip surgery and strongly hinted his TV character run is coming to an end
February 1, 20178 yr comment_5786693 Something tells me we won't be getting a "Tell Me A Lie" music video when Foley leaves his GM post. (Full confession: I just wanted to remind everyone about "Tell Me A Lie {HQ} - YouTube" )
February 2, 20178 yr comment_5786720 I wonder if they'll name someone else as GM or just forget it exists.
