WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW 1-26-15 Preview and Live Discussion

[Smart Marx]

Lmao I still can't over the hatred of Reigns

I honestly don't get it. Last year the outcry was he didn't win and Batista did.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Last years outcry was that DB wasn't in The rumble at all

 

[Smart Marx]

People were definitely disappointed he wasn't in it. but we knew that going in. Once it started the Universe was behind Reigns and got seriously upset when Batista eliminated him.

Either way, Daniel Bryan can't win it all, all the time. DB had a great WrestleMania XXX moment winning the title. Now it's Reigns turn to main event the show.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

But he's not even close to fucking ready.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Rollins, Ziggler, Ambrose, Bray, Barrett are all more ready

 

[Smart Marx]

But he's not even close to fucking ready.

Interestingly enough that's exactly what Reigns' interview was about.

The only way to know is to see it. I mean I knew this was going to be the 31 main event when XXX came to a close, it should come to no surprise to anyone.

 

[Smart Marx]

Rollins, Ziggler, Ambrose, Bray, Barrett are all more ready

I wouldn't have minded seeing Ziggler get it. I thought it was possible when he looked like a million dollars after Survivor Series.

The only issue is Lesnar is champion and WWE has a clear plan on who and when that Beast will be slain.

 

[Sabretooth]

Obviously whenever the fans don't get what they want they cheer the heel to be smarks. Last year they wanted Daniel Bryan and when they didn't get it they cheered roman reigns because he was the heel. This year they wanted Daniel Bryan and didn't get it so they cheered all the heels especially Rusev at the end. It's just fans way of telling wwe to go fuck themselves.


On a side note, I like Roman Reigns and think that he is ready or at least close to it. I think he'll prove it at WrestleMania.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Ambrose would have been a much better choice. He could have been this generations a Stone Cold now he's being treated like he's Stevie Richards

 

[Citan]

I honestly don't get it. Last year the outcry was he didn't win and Batista did.

The crowd realized Batista would win, and then proceeded to cheer for anyone but him. This was the only reason Reings got cheered (though he was booked way better than this year's RR, which may have helped things out a bit).

 

[Sabretooth]

Ambrose would have been a much better choice. He could have been this generations a Stone Cold now he's being treated like he's Stevie Richards

He isn't the same as stone cold. Stone cold wasn't portrayed as having mental problems.

 

[Fuji Vice]

People aren't shitting on it because they're shocked he won though. They're shitting on it because they don't see Reigns as "the guy", plain and simple.

I wouldn't have minded seeing Ziggler get it. I thought it was possible when he looked like a million dollars after Survivor Series.

Then aren't you at least a little upset at how he looked like 35 cents in the Rumble match? :

On a side note, I like Roman Reigns and think that he is ready or at least close to it. I think he'll prove it at WrestleMania.

Let's see, can't cut proper promos AFTER taking acting classes, has even less moves than the hated John Cena and was universally shit on after his big win at the Rumble. Do you really think something magical is going to happen to change that in the next 60+ days?

He isn't the same as stone cold. Stone cold wasn't portrayed as having mental problems.

I don't think he meant he's a copy of Stone Cold, more that he had the potential to connect to the fans and carry the company like Stone Cold did. Anyhow, we'll probably never know at this point thanks to the hot dog cart fiasco. Then again, Bryan was doing silly psychiatrist skits a year before he headlined 'Mania, so perhaps 2015 will be as kind to Ambrose. Here's hoping because right now things are pretty fucked.

 

[Sabretooth]

Wwe scripts his promos. He's technically not cutting them. And his acting during them isn't bad. I'd like to see you tell a story about jack and the beanstalk and see how well you do.

Well, I've read it to my son and he popped pretty huge for the ending. In his mind, I'm way more over than Reigns.

Also, this whole "WWE scripts his promos" thing is stupid. They script a lot of other guys promos and they don't come across like morons. Worst argument ever.

Sure it doesn't help but it's not at complete fault for his failure on the mic. He just doesn't have the delivering that a Cena has or even Ambrose.

However, I do believe that Reigns can improve massively and he seems determined to do so which is great. Rollins has improved his mic skills massively and that has mainly been due to him being in that spotlight where he has to talk often, it could work with Reigns too.
