WWE Monday Night Raw 3-31-14 Preview and Live Discussion

[Shane]

It kinda is. I'm glad WWE could rely so much on him in the territory days, but if it wasn't for Hulk Hogan making the company national in the 80s, I wouldn't be watching today.

Neither would anyone else watching Raw tonight. Warrior was a man who helped build a national WWF with Hulk Hogan.

Jake "the Snake" helped redefine what a heel was during that time as well.

Then in the 90s Razor Ramon took what Jake did and made it cool to cheer for the "bad guy." Let's not forget what Paul Bearer did for the icon, the Undertaker.

Making it cool to cheer for the bad guy and taking heel to the next level doesn't compare to carrying an entire company on your back. Warrior has some what of an argument but it was 90% Hogan 10 % warrior

 

[Shane]

Wow that was shocking.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Was there any doubt that it would be Roman Reigns? He's going to spear Kane to hell!

Bruno carried the WWWF on his back. He never worked for a national WWF. And you're counting this one man against each of the inductees like it's one-on-one.

It's all the people being inducted that makes it better than one guy.

The point is people watching today are more likely to know who Jake, Warrior, Ramon, Bearer, and Lita are compared to Backlund and Bruno.

Bruno was a good nod to man who carried them in the territory days, but it's not like people were clamoring for his induction like people have for Jake and Warrior.

 

[Shane]

Yeah because the last piper pit went so well

But you see that's where you're wrong. People thought it was a travesty he wasn't in the HoF and we're relieved when he was inducted.

Does Piper's Pit ever go well?

 

[Shane]

Does Piper's Pit ever go well?

I mean the script was really awkward and bad.

Some people, some. I rarely ever saw Bruno's name mentioned when the annual "why isn't so and so in the HOF?" and "who do you want in the HOF?" questions sprang up.

Honestly, Bruno was so before my time, he's ancient to you. You didn't even witness the Attitude Era or the Golden Age. Stop fronting.

 

[Shane]

Hulk Hogan on smackdown is awesome.

 

[Shane]

He meant big show you asshole

 

[Shane]

Sheamus is Irish, Roddy is Scottish. We've got war

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Titus' trunks are too small. They're practically speedos.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Sheamus is Irish, Roddy is Scottish. We've got war

Ancient UK cultural warfare. It could get bloody.

 

[Shane]

Did rowdy shrink or is everyone that tall
