Raw after mania discussion thread (spoilers)

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 2:17 am

Babyface Lesnar is the Love sacks

Hope he wrestles but I doubt it

Bryan v Ziggles could be awesome

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 2:32 am

Great little match there, in front of a hot crowd

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 2:34 am

sheamus returns with a crazy Mohawk and turns heel!!! to feud with Bryan again :/

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 2:38 am

Cracking first match; would have been 2nd best on the Mania card.....get they want RAW to be a main event programme...but that just felt like a waste. Thoroughly enjoyable though.

Always liked Sheamus and felt he has more to show than what he has been allowed thus far; hopefully they give him the reigns to showcase it during this heel run. Played the crowd beautifully there...sometimes simpler truly is better.

If Brock doesn't wrestle...be certain he is going to destroy somebody or be destroyed in a set up for a major feud in his return.

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 2:42 am

Bryan as champ having 15ish min matches like that is certainly a route to go if they are serious about rebooting the mid card belts, shame they couldn't guarantee a crowd this hot every week

I'm a Sheamus fan but he needs another Bryan match like Cena needs to face Orton again

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 2:47 am

First Nxt debutants of the night, Kalisto is over already

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 2:48 am

Agreed...perhaps he takes the Title though and Bryan moves onto Brock...

Tbh I have no idea where they are going to heading to next major PPV which is Summerslam...

You would guess that it will include Brock..Reigns..Bryan..Rollins...Orton...perhaps Ambrose. But where they are and who they face is anyones guess.

I feel we are definitely getting Brock vs Rock..Brock vs Bryan and Brock vs Orton over the next 12 months...but in what order god knows. You'd figure that his next feud will be set up tonight which takes Bryan out of the picture..so Brock vs Rock or Brock vs Orton for Summerslam? But then Rock vs HHH seems to be big possibility...when/where does that happen..should be an interesting night.

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 2:55 am

why are people chanting New Day sucks? sure the gimmick i awful but Kofi and Big E rock

Frak smarks*

*tm Chris

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 2:56 am

Is that what they were chanting...I thought they were chanting Lucha something to the tune of 'New Day'...

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:00 am

No im sure I heard New Day sucks

Neville to debut soon, time to sink or swim, great worker, I don't hold out much hope given his promo ability though

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:01 am

yeh we ain't getting a title match at the top of the first hour

by JamesLincs Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:03 am

didnt realise people were watching, has lesnar destroyed anyone yet?

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:03 am

We are...but something is going to happen....Shield to reunite...?! Run in from someone to screw Brock...Reigns perhaps?! Or Orton to try and get to Rollins but cost Lesnar setting up that feud..

Did Lesnar just kill the commentators? #superface

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:07 am

Yeh he's being suspended.! Poopie way to write him out!

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:08 am

Good a way as any

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:09 am

I'll say it again, face Lesnar is awesome

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:14 am

Hmm nah not for me Gregory...

Given Summerslam isn't until Aug 23rd..and his contract were not going to see him for around 4 months. Crowd loved it in the sense of him snapping but storyline is flat soon as the Post Mania Raw is over. Didn't like that one bit. Doesn't set him up for anything really....Rematch yes...but that means either he is written out of title picture because of his actions...or he gets a rematch at Summerslam and ultimately loses to set up the Mania match with The Rock which for my money is defo happening next Mania...

Unless....

He comes back and wins title at Summerslam...holding it till next Mania where he meets a Royal Rumble winning Bryan...just to get it out there early Wink

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:17 am

Yeh were getting the 'Brock rips up his contract/Walks out' angle....Meh is all I will say to that.

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:17 am

So WWE are going to pay Lesnar to sit at home? drumroll

It does set him in opposition to the authority which is probably the best course of action, and by opposing the authority it by extension keeps Rollins on his radar while giving him plenty of bodies to visit suplex city, as long as he stays out of the ring with HHH I'm quite happy, its not overly creative but it works

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:29 am

So is Saxton going solo then? Because I'm OK with that, though I will miss Booker's glorious man bun

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:33 am

Haha! Indeed Gregory...

Fantastic contract negotiating from Brock. I'll be honest I thought we would see him at Extreme Rules...since his return he has appeared in

Extreme Rules, Summerslam, Mania
Extreme Rules, Summerslam, Rumble, Mania,
Summerslam, Night Of Champs, Rumble, Mania

I can see them going the same way as last year with his schedule starting properly at Summerslam.

Oh god...can you imagine...another 12 month run with the Authority front and center...culminating in HHH vs Brock at Mania 31 with HHH being the man to pin the 1 in 21-1

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:37 am

Ax-treme rules, amazing

And Neville's lost his first name

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:40 am

That is how you make a first impression, even if his name continues to get more stupid

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:41 am

Don't know why they do that. Just keep him as Adrian Neville. Why the change! Pointless!

Love that finisher....

Lets see the Cena reaction then!

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:44 am

I'm interested in who answers his challenge

Chances of it being Tomohiro Ishii?

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:45 am

Be weird if it was....get the wish for NXT to start being called up...but if your making the title more legit...give it a high profile feud.

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:47 am

Neville is not an impactful single barrel name

Adrian wasn't great but it was at least a real name and I'd gotten used to it

Cape was braw though, more wrestlers should wear capes

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:51 am

Somewhere right now...Hero is masturbating

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:52 am

Ambrose!!! Oh No!!! More losses for him Sad

This makes me sad!

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:53 am

You are a joyless man

Almost certainly right..but joyless

Mon the tittymaster

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:57 am

Hahaha! Back to my normal self Dr...

You've another 11 months of this until my 1 night of positivity rolls around again Wink

Enjoying Raw thus far mind; JamesLincs idea on the other thread was brilliant mind...have Lesnar just interfere in every match and destroy people. Hasn't been done in so long and would have been impactful as hell...better way to write him out than have him slope off as well. Could have had Steph & HHH bring out security...he destroys a couple before police escort him out.

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 4:01 am

Rusev interference....

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 4:03 am

How much better has the commentary been since Lesnar murdered the usual crew, it's been pretty bland but it's not as downright offensive

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 4:08 am

Another very good, surprisingly clean, tv match, they could well restore prestige to these titles yet, until Vince gets bored anyways

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 4:11 am

Agreed good match again, always provide night after Mania...

I do wonder how many more losses Ambrose can keep taking though; plenty have been made to look weak on the way to a build but I'd hedge my bets no one has taken as many high profile losses/losses in general as him. November 2013 was his last PPV win I believe...thats almost 18 months!

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 4:22 am

AJ wearing a Bayley shirt, impeccable taste that woman

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 4:25 am

It's nice to actually sit and watch a Diva match without the need to pause it to then fast forward through..a long way to go till we get peak quality but it's definitely improving and kudo's to The Bellas...not many would have thought 12 months ago you'd get a decent wrestling match out of them.

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 4:28 am

Heel Nattie is so hot

An actual audible reaction from the crowd as well

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 4:33 am

Actually a good match

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 4:36 am

Agreed and the Bella match is looming...

I just thought...Brock attacked Cole!! The same Cole that is unbeaten at Mania...

I feel another streak conquering coming on!

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 4:47 am

Ha why are they even attempting to build suspense for who the 3rd person will be lol!

WE ALL KNOW!

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Mar 31, 2015 4:54 am

Roman is A five knuckle shuffle Pheasant....lmao! What does that even mean! Brilliant sign

I don't mind a rowdy crowd but 'we are awesome' makes them sound like such douchebags

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 5:07 am

Phenomenal by ryback

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Mar 31, 2015 5:11 am

Was hoping Lesnar would come back at the end but no such luck, would have added spark to what was a flat if decent ending

Otherwise an excellent show, post mania raw is always good value
