Seth Rollins and Goldberg on RAW tonight
Should be a good one tonight
Go-home show for Fastlane
Yup
yep
Thanks for joining
Fingers crossed that Seth will say that he is cleared to go for mania
He probably will drag it out
you know with Shaq vs Big Show not happening for Mania apparently then that clears open a spot for Mania which means WWE could now get Finn on the Mania 33 card cause if they really think saving Finn till after Mania is a good idea if he gets cleared in March…there insane lol
I understand were everyone is coming from with wanting Finn to compete at mania this year but you don’t want to rush his return and risk reinjurying himself
it’s another hot topic in WWE but WWE needs all they can for Mania but to your point you do not want him reinjuried idk it is a very difficult topic and btw wasen’t that a good little joke I pulled earlier on you well kind of a joke/serious confession earlier I thought it the best of both honestly but you’re talking to the guy who said it so of course I thought it was funny lol
The card is pretty stacked. Lesnar/Goldberg will get all the hype, even if the match will probably be a trainwreck. Shaq/Show doesn’t need to happen because the roster is pretty healthy.
It could also mean that another match is going to get moved up to the main card.
That’s true because there is a rumor going around that the Dean vs Corbin match will end up on the pre-show
Which is stupid. That’s a title match, it should be on the main card. There has to be a non-title that can be put on the pre-show.
Thats what i said to like why do that to both these guys plus if they pull the trigger for corbin to win the title how would it feel to win in a title while ppl are still filing in the arena
Ambrose deserves a win at Mania a lot more than Corbin does. Corbin can lose and still look like a legit player.
I agree with you 100% i would like to see corbin win the IC Title eventually off Dean but not at mania because Dean deserves a win at mania especially after that terrible match at mania last year against Brock
The way WWE treated Ambrose was a disgrace. Ambrose put on a heck of a match against a man who didn’t want to be there. And considering that Ambrose carries SDLive, main events every night(usually twice at TV tapings), WWE should be booking him the WWE title match, not considering putting him on the pre-show.
I heard a rumor that while they thought he did a good job as the champ last year they dont think he will ever get back to the title and is best fit for thr midcard since he wasn’t a draw as champion
That’s ridiculous. They’re the ones who booked him so badly after Battleground. Ambrose is a main event player, he’s proven it too many times for them to dismiss him like that. It’s typical that they ask him to carry the company but never really reward him for it.
True they agree with you completely that he is a main event player and thought he did a good job as wwe champion but just wasn’t a draw and i agree with you completely that its basically their fault for him not being a draw as champion which is why they had him drop the title so quickly to AJ
After Battleground, they gave him nothing. And it feels like that’s what they’re doing to his IC Title run too. Ambrose is so much better than WWE lets him be. Probably because he’d outshine most of the other talents.
Considering that RAW saw a big ratings uptick after MitB and for his and Seth’s rematch at the Draft, the problem isn’t Ambrose.
Ambrose could be a heck of a draw if WWE would book him right. Let him really show his in-ring talents.
I read that too an aeticle that we are basically just sratching the surface when it comes to his in ring ability
Watch his Moxley stuff, he’s a heck of a wrestler, but WWE hamstrings him in the ring and on the mic most of the time.
I’ll watch that tomorrow before Smackdown
YouTube is pretty good. I know CZW will sometimes upload matches of his.
Yeah, that was Les Thatcher, the guy who ran the school Ambrose went through.
Here’s a good time to get Triple H to have Nakamura wrestle against Rollins if they’re going on with this whole NXT invasion angle thing
Would love it
I think the main problem with this is that it would turn Nakamura heel, and I don’t think anyone would really like that particularly. Still thinking that Shane having Nakamura replace him against Styles is more likely
NoDQ.Com’s twitter account just confirmed Matt Hardy is gone from TNA
There were some posts on reddit a few hours ago saying that it’s pretty much guranteed that Matt is gone from the company
Yes guys the hardys are gone from TNA because they felt like they were disrespected during the renegotiation of their contracts weren’t going to get a lot of creative freedom so they decided to not resign plus they don’t have a non-compete clause so they can compete anywhere freely as of next week but they have to fight for their broken hardy characters first cause now TNA is saying they own the characters
new owners same operation
The new owners are looking at this as a postive because now they can use the money that were gonna use to pay the hardys to sign new talent but their thing now is either fall in line or leave
and that’s a dangerous sign or I should say a dangerous game to play
That could lead to a hostile work environment
my point exactly
Let’s Go!
Here we go!
Goldberg kicks us off
Goldberg kicks us off
Good start
too bad they had Goldberg accept the challenge of Brock cause how I would of pulled this off is actually having Goldberg say no cause Goldberg’s thought process could be “I’ve kicked you’re ass three times what more do I got to prove” which sets up Brock costing Goldberg at Fast Lane and sets up Goldberg accepting the match cause of Brock screwing him but that’s just me still it’s kind of cool seeing Goldberg in 2017 WWE challenge for a World Title
Why would Brock screw Goldberg over when he has the possibility of having a title match
well cause if Goldberg did not accept the challenge that would piss Brock off enough to screw Goldberg out of the title to set the match up even more that was the idea behind it
That sounds like a good idea and all but if Brock has a chance to have a title match i dont think he would screw over Goldberg
I know again just spit balling fantasy ideas cause what can I say I don’t like most of Raw’s creative team anyway lol
If Goldberg actually squashes KO at Fastlane then they might as will have KO just give him the title without having the match
at least KO’s beatdown of Jericho actually got fans to boo him what a concept fans actually booing a heel
That doesn’t seem to happen a lot these days
it needs to happen more often cause turning AJ Styles heel after the Roman feud just for example while worked out greatly is one of those things that might be better short term not long term cause fans are going to make AJ out to be the face against almost anyone he faces
Your thoughts if Goldberg wins?
Well if they go the route that you reported i would be ok with it but i just dont Goldberg to squash him
It would be one more reason to not watch WrestleMania. I don’t like Owens, but the Lesnar/Goldberg match is already overhyped and there’s too many full-timers on the main roster to justify letting Lesnar take off with the Universal belt until SummerSlam.
That was a good opening segment. Owens is doing a great job of making me doubt Goldberg winning is a foregone conclusion. And next, THE NEW DAY!!! I literally watch RAW just to see what these guys are going to do next. I absolutely love them!
I am guessing you are happy they are hosting ‘mania lol
I am SO stoked for it! I think they have made themselves into the perfect act to handle the hosting duties of a major event like Wrestlemania. I seriously have never seen a group fashion themselves into something so relevant so successfully.
Thoughts on Beth Phoenix going into the hall of fame this year
perfectly fine with it I get it we want Chyna I understand it but that’s a we need to see it to believe it type situation at this point so I am perfectly fine with Beth going in
Totally deserved. I’d rather have her in than Chyna, but that’s me.
Oscar’s joke…. lol
??
New Day are the ultimate trolls!
Loving Big E’s boots
Yeah those are great
Didn’t expect this match to last this long
Hard-Body Mahal
Oh boy Dana back in the ring guys lets hope she improved her in ring ability while she was away
I’m concerned about Dana and for this show feels like the crowd’s already died 35 minutes into it lol
Dana’s biggest problem was she was called up too early and then got put in a really bad position when Emma got hurt. Playing Charlotte’s annoying, copycat little sister did her no favors.
Joe vs Cesaro…Joe vs Cesaro…Joe vs Cesaro please give us that lol
Please!
if they don’t give us that were all going into that Raw creative room for the most part and were chucking Stunners at the first people we see lol
She gonna do it she gonna fire him soon
Aries need to get back in the ring soon to set up him vs Neville for the title at mania
HEY EARTH TO ALICIA FOOOOXXXXXXX GET BACK IN THE RING PLZ
I’m not an overly PC person, but the idea of a white guy beating up a POC and talking about ‘Learning a lesson’ is skeeving me out.
First of all i need to point this out but skeeving?? ? never heard that before in my life
It means ‘creeping’. ‘skeevy’ generally means ‘nasty’ or ‘creepy’.
Oh ok thanks
THANK YOU JOE VS CESARO a reason to still watch Raw good concept boys lol
Cesaro vs Joe tonight!
god I love Charlotte I just wish Charlotte was not having to play hot title as much as I like Bayley and Sasha I just wish it was not a game of hot title with 3 beautiful women and I mean that I wish the title was not as hot titled as much as it was but you get the point lol
Dana, lay Charlotte out, you deserve so much better.
After she learns to wrestle first and become half as good as Charlotte
Dana can wrestle, but being Charlotte’s sidekick has done her no favors.
I know which is why I can’t wait for Emma to comeback so they can team up again
Yeah, her and Emma worked because it was a real partnership, not one being the other’s lackey.
Ya i loved their feud against Asuka
Really, Dana should’ve been sent back to NXT after Emma got hurt, not what they did to her. Her thing with Charlotte has really done nothing for her.
Ya she has gone nowhere since teaming with Charlotte but i guess now their like if you get the call up you stay on the main roster you dont get to go back to NXT
It’s sad. She wasn’t really ready to start with, but teaming with Emma would’ve at least benefited her.
I know
Do you think Charlotte wins on Sunday?
I hope not. This cycle of her getting the belt back at the next PPV is old and really hampering the division.
Nope i think they will have Sasha interfere and get caught setting up for her heel turn against Bayley which will keep Charlotte strong and undefeated
that’s my hope too cause they can’t bust the nut on Sasha turning heel…wow that sounded more sexual then I thought it was going to
That’s what I thought too after reading that
i love Sasha but uhhhhh i think she does not need to know about this lol
Lol I think you good
it must be that boring Raw feeling that is making my non PG Sasha thoughts come out
Lol
for any non PG thought i slip out please forgive cause i know you got them too lol
Ya you right
NIA PINS THE CHAMP
Yep looks like fatal 4-way at Mania
Um Braun we don’t have time for a contract signning tonight
Lol really random
Why do they continue to give away wrestlemania for free
They want the subscriber number to rise
Wow, Titus doing something other than trying to get in with New Day. I approve.
Lol
Seth up next
Not again with this sad video package
Here comes the man
Please be a work
Honestly yes I’m right there with you not two years in a row
Translation: Triple H vs Rollins at Mania isn’t COMPLETELY out of the question, but they aren’t going to bet the farm on it either.
Show vs shining Stars: SPLAT! Done!
Lol pointless
It was funny to see him splat one of them out of the air.
Gentleman Jack Gallagher, the next CW Champ!
I hope but that honor might go to Austin Aries
I’m hoping Aries doesn’t go to 205. I’d like to see him on SD.
Same but they have him doing commentary for 205 live and he showing video packages of himself and saying he will join the cruiserweight division soon
Big fan of him
I wasn’t sold at first, but he’s a heck of a talent and funny as hell.
So happy for the Glamazon!
She deserves it one hell of a career
Her feud with Mickie in 2008 is still a favorite of mine. I screamed myself hoarse when Mickie beat her in London.
I liked her feud with Kelly Kelly in 2011 Tamina in 2012 and when she was teaming with Santino Marella
The Santino thing was kinda stupid IMO. She made Kelly Kelly look amazing.
Ya she did that was Kelly’s best booking to date
Kelly was great, she could’ve done well if she hadn’t gotten injured. She had the potential to be really great in ring.
Ya she did and i keep hearing that she got injuried i must have missed that. I also remember that super glamslam that Beth delivered to Eve Torres at Vengeance
Kelly had a couple of injuries that needed tending to and so she left, but I’d like to see her back if she can still compete.
Me too
Cesaro vs Joe should lit but the crowd is making hard to watch with them being dead and yelling go back to NXT
Hope khaki guy was supposed to be there.
Same hope he an independent wrestler
Hope roman ok after that turnbuckle and steel cable ropes expolded
