Raw Thread - 2/12/18 - Last chance four way match for the Chamber, Bayley v. Banks, and JOHN CENA!
 

All that plus more, or whatever.

Who's watching tonight? I should be here for the long haul.

Ahhh starting off with a hostile crowd music to my ears

JOHN CENAAAAAAAAA SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSss

HES GONNA FACE R-TRUTH!

oh nevermind...fuck

BRAUUUUUUUUUU..........


You're not Braun.

FINALLLLLLLLLLLLY THE MIZ HAS COMEEEEEEEEEEEE BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK TO MONDAY NIGHT RAW

Honestly this makes it sound like Cena will win Elimination Chamber, even though there's zero chance of that happening

Fuck yeah, Miz

I would like to see Miz face Brock

None of that would make Miz champion tho

ENOUGH!

Remember when Cena beat Brock at Extreme Rules 2012 for no reason whatsoever?

Miz beating Cena now a fond memory

In Brock's first match back w/ WWE no less.

John Cena laid to waste by Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel. Who would have ever thought?

Awwwwwww. I thought this was gonna be one of those segments which all participants come out.

Would be pretty funny if every week, Cena fight for a specific spot in the Chamber. Last week was for #6 and this week for #1 spot.

Next week is probably loser gets #2 or winner gets #5 spot.

Bo Dallas stopped dressing like a roadie for a Zydeco band

Apparently they like to ignore the whole make sure both are up and standing

Fans looking up and waving. Is Sting up in the rafters or something?

well we know that at Elimination Chamber because

Bayley vs Banks tonight? Feel like that could have been saved for WRESTLEMANIA.

It could definitely happen there too. Maybe tonight is just to really solidify Banks as a heel.

Damn is Cena doesn't win he will be left off the Mania card.... not even in the ATG Battle Royal

I thought Miz got away from the Figure 4.

Rare close up of the "hold" there.

I think Bayley is the one who will go heel

I would like to see her turn heel in her hometown and then destroy all the Bayley Buddies

Ya gotta pull out all the stops against Big Match John, Good Ol' CS!

Seems like Sasha's been heeling it up ever since the Rumble, but Bayley could really use a rejuvination of some sort.

Did Cole really just call that janky Crippler Crossface an STF?

Cena's STF always looks like it hurts him way more than his opponent because of the goofy faces he makes all the time.

looks like a Crossface Crippler to me

A smarmy sneaky heel kicking out of the finisher of The Uber face..........

Miz looking good against cena r/n
Just like Finn

Almost like they want both to look good 4 WM...like finn/miz could be in a program 2gether maybe....that is my guess

Yup

Of course.

I'm still not a fan of champions losing throwaway non-title matches. Really, even having non-title matches.

shocker... Cena wins :roll:

john cena just hopped the front row to talk to owenbrown

The joke should be Cena starts 2nd

For someone rumored to be in the midst of a huge Mania push, WWE showing a weird way of doing it.

That's just mean, Lillian.

Vince really likes pissing off what was his core audience.... the 18-34 male demographic

Deletion Chamber lol

Oh Matt, you silly, silly man.

FUCK MATT HARDY

Jesus fuck

I think I am over the Matt Hardy stuff now

I like to think he's chanting DELETE the entire commercial break.

That's not his core demographic if you go by tv ratings...the average WWE viewer is over 40 and under 60.

That's with the Live + 7 day later rating taken into account for people who don't watch live...supposedly most of their YT views come from India, obviously not all of them, but the largest percentage.

I think a lot of under 20s just watch clips on Twitter and FB maybe.

Why would you not phrase that "between 40 and 60"?

"What if it was a white celebrity that got shot?"

Oh..dear

Go get 'em, Bullet Club.

Graphics

Those popup graphics fit a lot better with the cell phone promos than regular promos. At least with the cell phone ones, it has the easy excuse of being like a video filter people use a lot.

I do what I want

No say yeah

Who the fuck taught Kevin Dunn how to use shitty graphics?!

Not as bad as Nakamura's name taking up the whole screen or the Uso's being in prison

but still too cheesy

All of these After Effects 101 word popups are going to drive me to NJPW faster than bad storytelling, 10 more years of Roman Reigns main-eventing Wrestlemania, or a buzzword per sentence average north of 15.

Nerd o meter or

If Kevin Dunn is going to start using graphics from 1998 can Breezango at least get something on SD please

We are 6 months away from them adding Batman TV series style visual "sound effects" to the shaky camera to REALLY SELL THE ACTION

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...20141106191421

Nightmarish

Superman Punch

KAPOW

THEY!

Hate this Taco Bell commercial.

That's what's next

Comic book graphics during matches..can't wait

Dunn has lost his beaver faced goddamn mind

like Vince got him Sony Vegas for Christmas

This would get us one step closer to this, though:

Although I guess they'd probably just make "YAY!" pop up overa nd over.

I like both of these teams, but I don't like their matches together for some reason.

Botch Wilder

Its cause they both come off as heels

So far this Revival-Balor Club feels like every other tag feud on RAW with the meaningless trading of wins back and forth.

Breaking news

Somebody likes Revival. 2 injury related derailments and they are still being pushed

or Raw just don't have any teams

Alright! Dolph's back to sell cell phones.

Dolph sucks

Dolph.... my god what went wrong here?

Is there anyway we can file a class action suit against WWE for this?

just throw trash in the ring instead

Rousey to RAW..lol

"Local medical facility"

Raw's not good enough for a Ronda Rousey contract signing?

Gotta be at a PPV?

Kurt Angle here to not mess up any lines

damn we r so negative this week...it's because afif is not here with us in this thread!!!

Shes being sent to RAW??

You should be ashamed of agreeing to this stupid storyline, Kurt.

KURT ANGLE SHOOTS HARD ON WWE UNIVERSE.

Just stop stop Kurt

:lol: at WWE via Kurt getting upset people don't like Jordan and are happy he's gone due to injury.

There's always the Andre The Giant Battle Royale, Seth.

Seth gonna challenge Angle.....

RIP Kurt's Neck

'I am a Father'

#cringe

Don't do it, Kurt.

Whelp there goes Balor's chances at being in the Chamber.

Is Kurt going brain dead or what?

Seth vs Kurt at WM?
