WWE RAW 1st August 2011 - LIVE Discussion

[Andrew]

Nice little promo there.

Another Henry hype video with Sheamus answering the call.

This looks to be a summerslam match

LOL Triple H reacting to Punk use of Stephanie in his promo. Nice segment here from the "new" man in charge.

Just wondering but to you guys like Triple H in "charge"

 

[Troy]

Short backstage interview between HHH and Josh Matthews. HHH says that people have been mentioning him standing behind Stephanie for ten years now so Punk needs to get in line. Says that both Punk and Cena are invited to the ring when he makes the announcement about the title.

 

[Andrew]

I am actually liking HHH for once. He's not boring, he's straight to the point and strictly business.

I think I am going to enjoy HHH a bit more here.

I like HHH being in charge and think that it is good to see a change in leadership after Vince had been an on screen character for nearly 15 years.

Yeah I agree Triple H is straight to the point. So far i like the direction he is going in and what he has done. I just can't for his announcement about the title later.

I thought the comment by him to Josh Matthews telling him to shave was a bit stupid but other than that he has been really good.

The Henry promo video was excellent and it put over the Sheamus/Henry feud which I hope will lead to a match at SummerSlam for the number one contendership.

 

[John McHenry]

Punk said that and I couldn't help but think that he'd never top Jericho on the HHH Steph thing so I hope he does lay off.

Maybe it's me but when they make fun of Josh Matthews backstage it just doesn't work for me. Worked with coach, maria and others that and they've been pretty weak jokes. Seriously you need to shave. I'm the boss and I'm enforcing the groomin standards...

 

[Andrew]

Summerslam '98 recap.

I like these little recap. Honky Tonk Man!

 

[Andrew]

yay Ziggler's out to his epic remix song and in a suit.

So... Promos and just 1 Tag & Divas Rumble. Ok...

 

[Troy]

Flashback video is when Ultimate Warrior defeated Honky Tonk Man to win the Intercontinental Title. Don't see crowds like that often these days, they were on their feet going crazy when he entered and when he won the match.

I hated that line as well. Bad attempt at comedy from the boss. I would also prefer it if Josh Matthews is treated seriously since he does a good job and as he is Smackdown's play-by-play guy he shouldn't be treated like a joke.

 

[Troy]

Ziggler is out in a suit and after Vickie warms up the crowd Dolph takes the mic.

 

[Andrew]

Holy crap, great call on saying Riley vs. Ziggler cos Rileys out!

 

[Troy]

Excellent, Alex Riley is coming out. I said early in this thread that my pick to feud with Ziggler for the US title was Alex Riley. I think that these two can have a good feud.

Side note, I really like that Dolph Ziggler is actually wearing the title around his waist rather than just holding it.
