WWE Raw: July 22, 2019 Discussion Thread

I actually enjoyed Raw last night. But that's just me.

 

[Jimmy King]

Yeah, it was a fun show. I usually don’t have any crazy expectations for shows like that and I usually enjoy it more that way.

 

[Chris]

Yeah, I thought this show was a lot of fun and I'm usually the guy to shit on everyone's obsession with nostalgia (dat Joe promo did it for me tho ), but with the sheer amount of old names they had I think it was actually better bc they just got everyone their little 2 minute segment instead of a few long ones that took up a lot of time so I had a good laugh from most of them. 24/7 shit was hilarious throughout the night, thought they did some good build up for SummerSlam as well even though that wasn't the main focus of the show, but they still got almost a whole month to build towards that so I thought this was a good of a time as any for a nostalgia show. That toast at the end was probably the weakest part of the show tbh since that was just Hogan and Austin cutting their usual promos, wasn't bad or anything but I already knew everything they were about to say so it was just whatever.

Highlight was def that Street Profits segment tho, I almost spit out my drink when Dawkins came up coughing and said he was "chilling with RVD" BRUH

 

[Chris]

Also this is all I could think about every time they called AJ's group the "OC"

 

[Sabretooth]

I did enjoy the street profits segment but that's it.

And why the hell couldnt john cena wrestle

That's how I did as well, it's like you knew it wasn't going to be this top notch episode and that it was going to just get you in them nostalgia feels. So I was like okay cool, I'll watch it and enjoy it for what it is, some legends and ....some "legends" coming back. Stars of the past, some of which I can't remember the last time we saw them. Plus I got my moment I wanted with the 24/7 title changing hands to some stars of the past, so I was happy.

So is it me or does it seem Bray is just doing the same Bray things? Like I wanted to see him like listen to heal or hurt before attacking someone not just the typical bray stuff.

Yep, and I bet he does these same attacks for like another 3 weeks before finally doing something different too would have preferred more Fun house segments

 

[Dale]

I've not watched but I don't really know why anyone was expecting anything different from Bray really. He'll be the same guy talking jibberish and in riddles that eventually lead to nowhere and he will lose his luster as soon as the video packages stop and he's wretling almost weekly.

 

[Deezy]

Fucking power went out for almost 20 hours because my area got attacked by two different storms.....

Reigns and Joe was Romans best match since h came back.

Austin probably was read the riot act for swearing

 

[Deezy]

Sums up Seth's title run tbh

[Chris]

So like, is there any explanation why Alicia Fox was included with the legends last night? Just feels like a slap in the face to Arn to me

Clearly she's the Michael Hayes of divas

 

[Sabretooth]

I was hoping Bray would have a split personality gimmick where sometimes he's Bray and sometimes he's The Fiend
