Official Raw discussion thread

[AZUCAR!]

Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan is official.

 

[PHX]

Orton vs Rey this should be pretty good though it sadly won't end cleanly.

 

[SAIYANS]

Okay. Sure. Now talk about the particular build for this particular match.

Monday: HHH comes out. "I'm going to break your streak. I'll die trying."

Friday: Undertaker comes out. "You can't beat me. The streak will live forever."

THIS ISN'T HYPE IT'S A BROKEN FUCKING RECORD

The particular build was
- Them agreeing on a match by both making coinciding returns
- Taker coming to HHH's house and talking about beating him and making the stipulation
- HHH going to Taker's house talking about the streak and thanking Taker for the stipulation
- HBK commenting on the two and the matchup
- HBK focusing on HHH and what makes him able to beat the streak and how he approaches matches
- HBK focusing on Taker and saying why he lost and what Taker does to people
- HHH calling Taker out to meet him on Raw this week.

The two haven't had a physical encounter yet, but they have done just enough to sell it and make the general people care who understand what they do and even the casual attitude era fans who might watch with Rock/Trish/Austin care because of their familiarity and connection with the 2 characters who were top dogs even back then

Orton vs. Mysterio? Interesting.

This is not good television.

CM Punk/Cody Rhodes run in? Plz. Don't want to see an outcome to this match because it could hurt both Rey or Orton.

 

[Dale]

It screamed no DQ finish to me, setting up a tag match on SmackDown between the 2 heels & faces

 

[AZUCAR!]

Orton's arriving late.

 

[AF.]

They have 2 weeks to make Punk look credible next to Orton. Right now, Orton is fucking Superman and Punk is wonderwoman.

 

[Black Sanchez]

Tour Bus?? Family?? CM Punk is gonna destroy.

 

[AZUCAR!]

MARYSE

And I reckon Punk's gonna do something to the bus.

 

[SAIYANS]

Wrestling is different to boxing, in wrestling they build up matches differently. They won't give anything away by having HHH and Taker brawl. Don't be a fucking idiot.

Why are you bringing The Rock into this? I never said anything about The Rock.

You give away HHH and Taker fighting by having them brawl around the arena or ring before there WM match, which is what? A No holds barred match, which is what basically? A street fight, think man.

For good comparison the last match they built like this was Dave vs Cena

Amazing

What is to be expected on this episode other than the Cena/Miz stuff?

- Rey/Randy
- Trish will be on according to her twitter

 

[PHX]

Tour Bus?? Family?? CM Punk is gonna destroy.

Same thing I thought and hoped for tbh.

 

[Dale]

I miss seeing people arrive to the arena in sports cars / limos etc.

 

[SAIYANS]

Off topic, but Maryse's sister is hot.

There is supposedly a second divas match planned for the ppv, so I guess this will be what leads to it.
