Shades of Heath Slater getting buried weekly on raw a few years ago by washed up legends..

Did they ever rationalize why the Bellas are friends again after one being a slave and them still fighting 6 months ago on total divas?

BoxBreaker72 · 01-19-2015, 10:21 PM

Anyone getting this immortals game? Is it any good?

No

Paige and Nattie on 1 team going to have to carry all the wrestling like usual. They need to make 1 of them champ and turn the other heel or vice versa

Typical WWE logic.. That has bothered my for weeks now.

BoxBreaker72 · 01-19-2015, 10:25 PM

R-truth on raw?? Why? Hmmmmm.. Can't quite figure it out.

mnvikingstwins · 01-19-2015, 10:26 PM

Truth ended Dallas' streak, upset time?

cdub6238 · 01-19-2015, 10:28 PM

R Truth really busted out a whoomp there it is...

yeah he deserved that beat down

My son wanted it, so we downloaded it. It is basically just like another game that features DC characters that we used to play together. It is a good time killer. Pro tip: Save your money to get the discounted gold pack if you end up playing instead of powering up your guys. It makes the game so much easier in the end.

cdub6238 · 01-19-2015, 10:29 PM

Ziggler with the Terra Ryzing reference..nicely done

How many guys have come up from NXT and *not* been ruined?

Rusev, Rollins, Ambrose (even though he's VERY borderline lately) Paige and...is that it?

Compare that to Bo Dallas, Big E, The Ascension, Adam Rose, Emma, The Wyatts, and probably more that I'm forgetting.

I'm not gonna put Roman into either category since his pre-shield NXT run was pretty non existant

It's pretty bad. The roster is RIDICULOUSLY limited and there's no strategy of any kind and instead it just consists of how fast can you tap the screen? That being said, the art style is really cool and I would definitely play a full featured console version with actual controls.

Good stuff. Thanks.

What in the world?
Lesnar started the show looking for revenge at any cost. Now he wants to wait until Sunday.
So what, now McMahon and Dunn don't even give the fans the benefit of 2 weeks to forget about storylines? Now we're supposed to forget what happened at the beginning of the show. Simple logic is being skipped here.

At least it makes sense now that he'd rather have 1/2 than 1/3 odds.

mnvikingstwins · 01-19-2015, 10:37 PM

Damien and the other Uso should have the same match outside the ring.

BoxBreaker72 · 01-19-2015, 10:37 PM

Sandow has done the best job I have ever seen taking a putrid gimmick and turning it into gold.

They shouldn't have to see anything else from this guy. He's over.

Except the storyline regarding Lesnar as champ revolves around Cena, not Rollins. Rollins is supposed to be the fly in the ointment, not the focal point.
Brock Lesnar is supposed to be a beast, not a weasel heel looking to win at any cost.

yea but he wanted Seth Rollins. Now if Seth Rollins "wins" he gets him and him alone at Rumble makes sense to me.

natbornkiller · 01-19-2015, 10:42 PM

so wait if cena wins they all get there jobs back
but what happens when the match ends in a no contest, dq ect
because we know the entire locker room is going to end up in the ring
it would not be a raw before the rr without a preview to end the show

GoldStandard000 · 01-19-2015, 10:42 PM

Easily the best RAW in months tonight. Can't rely on old timers all the time though, so lets see them continue this next week.

Kingofkings1281 · 01-19-2015, 10:42 PM

Calling it now. Cena manages to stay afloat for a while in this match and RKO returns to even the playing field long enough for Cena to get a pin. Then, hopefully, Orton RKO's Cena just for the hell of it.

it depends on how you look at it...

Ambrose and Rollins both had fan exposure from the Indies (Moxley/Tyler Black)

so 'technically' the only WWE/NXT only talent to have success is Rusev and Paige

and i agree that Vince for some reason has a hard on for keeping Indies down...

like has already been posted, Neville (PAC) is suppose to debut with some sort of Mighty Mouse gimmick

lets forget the match him and Zayn put on when they had a match on RAW

can only imagine the forced changes when Devitt/Kenta/Zayn/Kalisto are set to debut...

at least Steen's character hasnt really changed much from his ROH character

Even so, Paige would have been much better off with the anti-diva gimmick. The characters in NXT probably aren't as deep as they'd like for main roster, but not sure why everyone needs some stupid gimmick to debut on TV. Most of the fans don't watch NXT, so there's nothing wrong with keeping guys the same to bring them up.

mnvikingstwins · 01-19-2015, 10:49 PM

This isn't a no-DQ match, right? So all it takes for Cena to win is for one of the fired guys to attack him so that authority gets DQ-ed.
