RAW January 26th, 2015 Live Discussion

[Just Kevin]

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

 

[Just Kevin]

This is interesting

 

[Jacob Fox]

As I said earlier in a different thread, the one person who could make this work is Paul Heyman. Just the tone of his voice creates the appropiate atmosphere.

 

[Koko B.]

Paul knows how to tell a story.

There are so very few things I miss about watching WWE, but Heyman speaking is one of them.

 

[Jacob Fox]

Absolute gold from Heyman

 

[Just Kevin]

That was a really good segment,, even from Reigns.

 

[Just Kevin]

RAW is over folks... thanks for the great LD!

Agreed but I should add.. this is because of the backlash. The backlash helped them to just stop sitting on their thumbs and forced them to tell a good story. this was great clean up.

 

[GrammarNazi82]

Since they talked about the northeast blizzard of 2015 tonight, and it caused a rare cancellation of a live RAW show, I'm just going to stick this right here.

Actually, this cancellation might just be the best thing that could have happened from a storytelling standpoint.

The Reigns/Lesnar/Heyman segment was very good. The Ambrose segment was golden. The Rollins/Lesnar/Heyman segment was probably the best part of the night. The Bryan interview was epic.

I agree. This was exactly the sort of thing that needed to happen. I think Heyman did the most for it. His speech was practically spellbinding. But it added something to this match that didn't exist: history. Now rather than Reigns just being the storyline guy to beat the unbeatable monster, he's got legitimate heat with Lesnar. When, after Heyman talked about his respect for the Anoa'i family and Lesnar said he didn't have that respect, I knew that was it. That put the Lesnar character into the right perspective and the tone for the match is now set.

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

I like what they did in place of the show.

 

[Snowman1]

Every time I see Renee, I feel the need to tag @Snowman and ask where he is. :haha:
