The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

Raw barley gets a page these days. It regularly used to get 4-5.

Just taking a random episode, the 25th August 2008 edition of RAW, which wasn't very good either ironically, went 3 pages & garnered responses from:

AJ Styles
Mafro
E-Man
Jam-Master Jay
KKLEIN
PCCD

PES Fan

And included such quotes as...

From now on I think every episode of RAW should be given a rating out of five facepalms.

Well, it yet again looks like RAW is getting progressively worse each week.

Batista just fell over & the show finished. Hardcore stuff.

[Prototype]

Yet we all - Zellery included - still talk about it each and every week.

Ho hum.

We're not talking about RAW the show, though. As no one has seen it.

[Prototype]

Ok.

[Barley]

Raw barley.

Woah! Don't associate me with that shower. I've been TNA total for a long time.

[Saint of Killers]

Best thing from last night.

We demand Tensai.

Poor guy.

Two weeks ago he stole Del Rio's car, at SummerSlam he uses a shoe to win and on Raw he stopped Orton from being pinned.
How exactly is Sheamus a babyface?




Random Kaitlyn push is random.

Let's not forget he basically cheated in his WM match.

I think it's just that he seems a nice, cheeky sort of guy.

You mean cheeky sort of fella.

Didn't think much of Summerslam. Watched it last night. It wasn't the worst event I've seen but didn't do a whole lot for me.

RAW watched - helluva lot of skipping stuff; just jumped right past Borton And Del Rio match and the Dvia match.

Cena shows again how decent he can be if he cuts out the jokes and humour. Punk seems like such a douche right now, he's not interesting in anyway; a bully heel (Which would be ok, except for Bull Ray showing how awesome a bully heel actually is)

D-Bry still the best thing in WWE and I can see his promo segments with this therapist thing being actually entertaining.

Not the worse RAW of the year, but it's just so boring, and the extra time really makes it worse with everything being stretchered out and moments of nothing happening just to fill time

I also really liked Big Show's after match promo from Summerslam they showed; generally felt sorry for the guy, far FAR better then anything he's done promo wise for months (Actually scrap that, his entire career) - I bet he came up with it himself and not some idiots writing it for him too.

Sad to see Jericho go, I really liked his run, because he came back just to put guys over and did a great job at it IMO

Okay, I haven't watched Raw yet, but judging by this:

Did they have Dolph lose only to beat Jericho the very next night?

Yup.

Contract vs MITB Contract match

Eddie had the whole "Lie, Cheat and Steal" gimmick before he turned face though. Sheamus, much like most of the roster at the moment, just does things with no actual connection to previous actions or any reason why.

[captain red dog]

Didn't go much on Summerslam. The triple threat was the typical affair, except when Show tapped the ref didn't call for the bell at all. Cena looked as thick as strawberry float when he kept saying "I just heard the bell durrrr".

Not sold at all on the Punk heel turn. It smells far too much like they are doing everything they can to make sure Cena gets cheered. It's one of the blandest heel turns I can remember.

When I got Sky back I was going to Sky+ the shows on Sky 1, thinking about it further I've just deleted them. Might get TNA on the series link.
