K-Nection Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Did I really just see Natalia plug Subway right in the middle of RAW? And this is one of the many reasons I don't watch the 3 hour version of RAW..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn michaels Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I have no idea where are they going with this HHH vs Ambrose title match and why even do it? Was this the best way they could find to use Ambrose when Brock is not around? He doesn't really need losses at the moment, he needs to go to his WM match looking strong. God knows he need it, since he will take the beating of a lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crownsy Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 <p>shows what I get for expecting Raw to be any good after Shane...</p><p> </p><p> This was pretty much a carbon copy of last weeks Raw, with Dean playing the role of Roman Reigns. </p><p> </p><p> Undertaker pretty much did absolutly nothing. Egg on my face for expecting more. came out, semi sorta threatened Vince for using him as a tool, and then did exactly what Vince wanted anyway for no real reason given. Thanks for stopping by Taker, good talk. </p><p> </p><p> Good included Sasha v. Becky, though the finish was telegraphed by Joe v. Sami's match on NXT. Seriously, seems like main roster creative saw that match and was like "Wait, you can do that!?!?"</p><p> </p><p> Dean was good at what he did, at least Hunter got booed as the heel this week ha.</p><p> </p><p> Big show - Owens continues to be stupid. </p><p> </p><p> Steph's monologue was actually very good, to bad the crowd will never let go of the "What!!!" chants when they think they are being clever.</p><p> </p><p> New Day were just ok. They got zero reaction, which surprised me, until i remembered they were in nashville and the last time here they heeled heavy on how country music sucks haha.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The New Day gimmick only works if they are annoying heels you want to see get punched.

Teh_Showtime Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Big E might be my favorite guy on the entire roster. He's about as complete of a wrestler as you can ask for. His offense looks credible, he's got great size and strength but can still bump and is a good base so he works great with small guys too. Charisma by the boatload, good on the mic, and still improving as well. Though for all the potential he has, he takes some incredible bumps that make me worry for him.

milamber Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 <p>New Day are great but I see can how their juvenile & nerdy material might not be to everyone's liking.</p><p> </p><p> The majority of New Day's best material is actually in their off-air segments. If you watch all their stuff it's clear that they are constantly evolving their gimmick so they don't regurgitate the exact same promos every week.</p><p> </p><p> And they're unofficially feuding with Bullet Club/Elite which is awesome even if WWE won't play ball:</p><p> </p><p> <a href="http://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2016/3/1/11139526/new-day-wwe-hidden-references-new-japan-elite-bullet-club" rel="external nofollow">http://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2016/3/1/11139526/new-day-wwe-hidden-references-new-japan-elite-bullet-club</a></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="CcbpRUOUEAEf3P7.jpg" data-src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CcbpRUOUEAEf3P7.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big E is amazing and I'm glad they've given him a showcase after he was kind of lost in the shuffle pre-New Day. I also like that they do a good job of protecting him a la Edge in Edge & Christian, since he's clearly got more potential at this point. This is also the most entertaining as a character Kofi's ever been.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 <p>This is clearly the good role for the lot of them (New Day). Maybe it's Xavier bringing forth the best in them, but it's working.</p><p> </p><p> Finally watched last week's RAW and I must say I enjoyed the segments again. They did well to bring in Shane to 'save' Mania, and the match does indeed tickle my fancy. Good ball, WWE, but I hope it stays interesting if you still want me as a sub after Mania ('cause it doesn't look like I will).</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
