Good episode of RAW again. Lol @ Sheamus and Barrett losing to the Lucha Dragons though. The money in the bank briefcase looks more prestigious by the day.

 

[sledger]

Orton gone for 6 months then. One wonders if Cena's time off will be scaled back even more.

 

[sledger]

I really don't like this guy. All of his videos seem to consist of him spouting truisms and making jokes/snide comments that aren't funny.

 

[duffer]

So CW's very own karan316 is starting threads on wrestlingforum.

Anyone up for an invasion? Could be hilarious if we hit the right notes and do it subtly enough to not get a ban.

 

[sledger]

Need to come up with some plausible troll/flamebait topics.

I'm thinking something along the lines of "Cena is better wrestler than Malenko ever was".

Or something defending the invasion angle.

Checked out Lucha Underground. Fantastic. So good it makes me not want to watch WWE at all. Everything all the time, high drama, and buckets of raw passion, just the way it should be.

When are they getting some better specs?

 

[Athlai]

Lucha Underground is okay but fairly overrated. Prince Puma is so ****ing gun though.

 

[harsh.ag]

Puma is gun. Does a version of the Superman Punch too!

Del Rio should have stayed there.

Lucha Underground is great when you start watching but gets a bit stale after a bit IMO.

It's still a pretty decent show but not as incredible for me as it is for some people. The excessive OTT kayfabe and the cheesy cut scenes are a fresh breath of air the first few times but become almost funny after a while.

 

[Teja.]

Two top RAWs. Funny how great it is when you have matches which actually mean something.

Today's Cesaro swing was nuts.

 

[Athlai]

Whats the kayfabe tier list look like? Will exclude the part-timers, Cena and Orton who would all be at the top of near enough to the top anyway.

Upper:

Reigns
Rollins
KO
Bray Wyatt
Ambrose
ADR
Shaemus
Demon Kane (but basically about to plunge back to the depths of the midcard)

Mid:

New Day
Rusev
Ryback
Dolph Ziggler (bottom of upper card in a PPV though, also Breeze first match against Ziggler should establish his position)
Cesaro
Rest of Wyatt family (Luke may rate a few spots higher in the mid card)
Dudley Boyz
Usos
Big Show
Stardust
Lucha Dragons (solely off the back of that win against Eurotrash)
Wade Barrett
PTP
Neville

Lower:

R-Truth
Miz
Bo Dallas
Mark Henry
Swagger
Ryder
Ascension
Sandow
Fandango
Axel
Los Matadores
Slater
Rose

 

[Athlai]

Interesting to see how much they've been pushing KO around the top lately. I'd say it's daylight between Rollins/Reigns and the rest though.

Would probably be fair to say that Bray seems to be getting "pushed" as strong again. The sort of reasoning I put on this is that the guy above should in all likelihood defeat the person below them. And a combination of partners above should beat tags below.

(Like Ambrose + Reigns > New Day)

 

[OverratedSanity]

You guys are deadset the weirdest. LU is ****ing amazing.

 

[Spikey]

hey did i miss something or did they never actually write Cena out?

 

[Athlai]

Yeah no mention on Raw of where Cena is at all, or Nikki for that matter who is supposedly "injured" on twitter.

 

[Spikey]

itstl. a brutal attack that puts cena out for months only for him to heroically return months ahead of schedule would have sucked, but they've also missed a chance to maybe make him look mortal. i guess doing nothing is a decent middle ground

 

[Athlai]

Some word that Cena is coming back in a month or so anyway.

Other notable things from Raw:

Bray gaining dark power storyline is great and so incredibly cheesy. Love it.
Swagger trying to unravel WTF is up with ADR/Zeb is pretty much the best possible thing they could have done, impressed tbh
Divas Revolution finally feels like it's here, wish that someone other than Sasha was capable of taking big bumps though
Cesaro is over.
Lucha Dragons were built up with a vignette and a quality win over Eurotrash? Impressed again
KO is $
KO + Rollins + New Day is $$$
Usos are back I guess

Usos + Ryback is pretty much the worst possible team. Hoping to see something different from the Usos, Ryback just needs to go away.

Is HHH in control at the moment? It just feels more like NXT than usual. Can it keep being decent?

Who woulda thought a decade ago that we'd all want Trips to be booking Raw?
