Raw LD 10/08/18 - Member Attitude Era Again?

[Spidey]

Then. Then. Forever.

[BaconBits]

The parade of senior citizen only affirms the lack of genuine starpower on the full time roster.

[Spidey]

Avalanche? The fuck you mean

[BaconBits]

Didn’t watch the show on Saturday, so this is all news to me, lol.

[BaconBits]

Cole has goosebumps over the most obvious shit in wrestling history?

[Spidey]

This was a very roundabout way to shill new DX merch.

I kinda dig that though. I get my kicks where I can.

[Spidey]

Oh okay Lashley is a heel and Owens is a face. For a sec there I was confused.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Oh okay Lashley is a heel and Owens is a face. For a sec there I was confused.

You're not the only one. I think they're in the middle of turning Lashley heel, but Owens is also heel, so...?

[smarkmouth]

Owens as a face? What did I miss and sign me up.

[Spidey]

I'm sure they're daft enough to think this makes Bobby more appealing, so Idk.

[smarkmouth]

The parade of senior citizen only affirms the lack of genuine starpower on the full time roster.
Is building stars even possible when the prime focus is the Brand?

[Skairipa]

Does WWE really think this will make people cheer Lashley?

[BaconBits]

This is a train wreck. For the second consecutive feud a heel KO is totally sympathetic.

[klunderbunker]

Nah. Even they're smarter than this.

[Spidey]

Even commentary is hating on Lio. Gotta be a double turn. No fucking way this is meant to be anything else.

[#AbsoluteUnit]

LOL. The rosters in your SCF have been building more stars than the WWE has!!

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Even commentary is hating on Lio. Gotta be a double turn. No fucking way this is meant to be anything else.

If so this is a bit disappointing. Owens face turn should be a much bigger deal

[Skairipa]

I would be totally down for a heel Lashley and a face Owens.

[smarkmouth]

Double turn in Chicago? This will never work.

[Skairipa]

I....I think they might really be doing a double turn. Wow.

[Spidey]

They had to lay it on thick to prove it's a heel turn. What a time to be a wrestling fan.

[smarkmouth]

DX reunited tonight. Evolution reunites next week. I have to assume Triple H is on the phone with Steve Austin and seeing what he's up to next month.

[smarkmouth]

LOL. The rosters in your SCF have been building more stars than the WWE has!!

Not the least of which: KONNOR!

Also, *our SCF pool.

[Skairipa]

DX reunited tonight. Evolution reunites next week. I have to assume Triple H is on the phone with Steve Austin and seeing what he's up to next month.

Well if rumors are to be believed, then yeah he's one of the ones the Saudi prince wants out of retirement.

Also Lashley is officially a heel, good. Lio Rush and him are both bad at being faces.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Elias should have played Cult of Personality

[Spidey]

Elias is a more subtle villain than Lashley right now. What an age this is.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Is Elias the best heel in WWE?

[smarkmouth]

Oh my, the pop could be huge when Lio gets hit with a Bayley to Belly.

[BaconBits]

This Cena feud needs to end with Elias going over.

[BaconBits]

No, that wasn’t great ovation Renee.

[Skairipa]

This Cena feud needs to end with Elias going over.

If by going over you mean losing to the sixth move of doom again, then you'll get your wish.

[smarkmouth]

I just enjoyed something Liv Morgan did. How about that.

[klunderbunker]

I know she's annoying, I know she's overhyped and I know she's not what WWE wants her to be....but dang Nikki can make the outfit work.

[klunderbunker]

How nice of Logan to lay down when NIkki didn't grab her.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Tonight is the night of heel turns

[Skairipa]

God dammit why the fuck do we need Nikki vs Ronda!? That's gonna be a complete shit match.

[Skairipa]

So Nattie is a terrible friend and doesn't even try to help Ronda?

[BestSportsEntertainer]

You think someone would come out and help Rousey

Edit - Matrix beat me to it

[BaconBits]

God dammit why the fuck do we need Nikki vs Ronda!? That's gonna be a complete shit match.

Could be worse. Could be Brieotch.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

At this rate we might get a Charlotte/Becky double turn tomorrow night

[BestSportsEntertainer]

This has been an eventful Raw to say the least

[Spidey]

I do hope we get to see Roman.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Confession - I'm a Jinder fan.

[Skairipa]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWJlh0B3dkg

This was Ross from Cultaholic during Ronda's match at Wrestlemania, it'll be me at Evolution when Ronda starts destroying Nikki.

[BaconBits]

Confession - I'm a Jinder fan.

I am too. Sure, he isn’t champ material, but he plays the fuck out of his characters and that’s all you can ask of a pro wrestler.

[Spidey]

Time for Singh to turn on Jinder and Alicia

[smarkmouth]

In case Drew McIntyre wasn't enough of an internet darling, he too is sick of Dolph Ziggler's shit.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Just curious - has any wrestler actually stayed retired?

[Skairipa]

We couldn't even use 205 live people for this?

[Spidey]

What the actual fuck

[Skairipa]

I got the guy with the chef hat winning this.

[BaconBits]

Fuck ya’ll whining, this is hilarious.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

These are the CAWs I made on WrestleMania XIX

[Spidey]

El Hombre Or We Riot

[BestSportsEntertainer]

This World Cup just got a lot more interesting

[Skairipa]

The Belgian Waffler was robbed.

[Spidey]

Hot damn a surprise

[BaconBits]

This World Cup just got a lot more interesting

Not really.

[smarkmouth]

Kurt helping DX and BoD raise the average age of Crown Jewel.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

This has been the best Raw since the night after Mania

[BaconBits]

Kurt helping DX and BoD raise the average age of Crown Jewel.

They want The Rock, too.

[Spidey]

You know whenever they show a clip of Austin, it's always either the beer truck, KOTR, or him playing guitar. Massive detriment to all his early work. Dude was a segment monster.

[BaconBits]

Watch Nia injure Ember.

[smarkmouth]

Damn, I had the Belgium Waffler in the pool, too.

[Spidey]

AJ Styles scared me.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Is this a heel turn for Nia?

[Spidey]

Ah man I was hoping for a Bingo

[Spidey]

Hey she's my color commentator!

[BaconBits]

The average age for this show is now about 70.

[BaconBits]

The average age for this show is now about 70.

Make that 90.

[Spidey]

Member when they were twenty years younger?

[BaconBits]

These videos were way more fun when the production value was crappy.

[Spidey]

It's like Neil Patrick Harris managing linebackers.


Where is Bray Wyatt? Thought they would have stuck him with Ascension by now.

[Spidey]

Is it not enough to show old people on the show? Gotta play a few old video packages too? XD

[BaconBits]

It's like Neil Patrick Harris managing linebackers.


Where is Bray Wyatt? Thought they would have stuck him with Ascension by now.

My guess is that he returns to TV as soon as Big Red heals up. The Shield gonna need opponents...

[BaconBits]

Please put the strap back on Brock. I want to see the internet melt down.

[Spidey]

Stop calling it a promo. What is up with everyone doing that now? How can anyone be immersed when they draw attention to how fake it is?


I need a nap.

[Skairipa]

Please put the strap back on Brock. I want to see the internet melt down.

Some people just wanna watch the world burn.

[Spidey]

I forget Renee is even there half the time.

[Skairipa]

I forget Renee is even there half the time.

Much better than Coach or Booker who just sounded like idiots.

[Spidey]

Drew


let him eat Dolph


come on

[Skairipa]

The rematch was better than their match at Super Showdown was.

Monday Night Raw
Date: October 8, 2018
Location: Allstate Arena, Chicago, Illinois
Commentators: Michael Cole, Corey Graves, Renee Young

We’re done with Super Show-Down and that means we have less than a month to go before Crown Jewel. The big story coming out of Saturday seems to be an impending tag match between four people with more than two hundred years of age between them. Other than that, it’s time for Roman Reigns to remember that he’s Universal Champion. Let’s get to it.

Good Thing I Was Taking Notes (http://kbwrestlingreviews.com/2018/10/08/monday-night-raw-october-8-2018-good-thing-i-was-taking-notes/)

[Jack-Hammer]

There wasn't a ton of great wrestling on the show last night but it was quite buzzworthy and they set a LOT of stuff in motion. HBK is officially out of retirement, for now, and the match with the BOD for Crown Jewel is on. The WWE World Cup, I can only imagine that a lot of people ruptured something in their eyes from all the rolling they did with them, is off and running with the gimmick battle royal producing La Conquistador as the winner, who happened to be Kurt Angle. The battle royal was all an angle, but I thought it was a fun angle and so did the live crowd; Angle came back in a fun way, though I would have liked to have seen him assault Corbin with moves that weren't his own so as to keep the mystery of who the guy is a secret until the mask came off since it was obvious who it was after the trifecta of German Suplexes. The Bella Twins turned on Ronda Rousey and the crowd seemed to be really into it, so Nikki vs. Ronda at Evolution is officially on. Poor Finn Balor and Bayley are being wasted with this MMC nonsense and against the likes of Jinder and Alicia. We're now getting Trish & Lita vs. Alexia & Mickie at Evolution and the tension with the Shield continues to rise.

Overall, I gave it a C+. It wasn't a great show, but it was coherent for the first time in forever. Even though they're still building two upcoming shows, they spaced them out and didn't try to cram too much from either show into one episode.
