Well with the New Year here, wondering what people thought were some of the best matches last year?

Yeah can't go wrong with anything AJ. I really enjoyed Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa beating The Revival at NXT Toronto. I thought it was one of the best matches of the year. And of course for different reasons Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy in the Final Deletion just for the pure entertainment of it all.

Apparently Paige is at Raw.

He is leaving soon. At least give it to someone who isn't a part timer.

Reigns already has it, This is who should win it. Nice try though.

spookytwinkie · 01-02-2017, 11:14 PM

Double spear on stroman was cool. Predictable, but cool.

Wolves4Life · 01-02-2017, 11:15 PM

RAW starting off 2017 on a good note. We may have to wait til 2018 for Emmalina which sucks but other than that it was good.

ThaReal1 · 01-02-2017, 11:23 PM

Wow, that RAW was awful. Only thing it did was pace Royal Rumble at the very end of the show. Maybe established tag titles going forward. But women's title storyline was predictable with flashback to Nia and Sasha, the US title once again has not moved or ZERO storyline established for it. Zayn and Strowman fought again.... UGH! the Enzo Cass vs Rusev Jinder is SOOOOO bad. Cruiserweights are meh, only cause Neville is somewhat interesting. (wouldn't Zayn/Rusev/Jericho/Big E/Cass any of them, chase for US title be more entertaining?) I literally said double spear as soon as Strowman's music came on. RAW is trash and even Stephanie is addressing it live that it is the B show.

Too negative. Of course RAW will focus mainly on the Rumble since it's a Big 4. Tag titles, Women's title storylines also progressing. I agree on Rusev/Jinder/Enzo/Cass stuff though.

i was in n out watching the Bulls game for DFS..and cant belive i actually caught 90% of the show...that should tell you either how bad or memorable it was...

only thing i completely missed was the opening segment- before the Rollins/Reigns match..Kendrick/Perkins match #500..and Enzo Cass match..

the ending was good since JeriKO has been carrying RAW for the longest...until Goldberg came out, he never was great at promos and it showed nothing has changed..then it went downhill from there

and was that actual cheers i was hearing for Braun at the end??

But Rumble is 4 weeks away and they only brought it up after 3 hours of nothing. How do you not think its a bad thing that the US Title is absolutely frozen? I know you like reigns and I've been the only guy on this board that has agreed with you that his actual wrestling is way improved. But the US Title is the other single title on RAW and its DEAD. At times Intercontinental storyline has been better than main title on Smackdown.

Also, women's title storyline didn't progress, anyone who watched NXT has seen this Bayley underdog role. Only Nia/Sasha progressed which is a horrible rivalry. Who thinks 110 pound Sasha is able to win?

Tag titles ill give you, somewhat interested. But that's it. That was 3 hours of trash and 10 last minutes of something interesting

how are the tag titles storyline progressing?

suppose to believe that the Club, who couldnt beat the New Day after 9876500 tries..is suppose to stand a chance against the team who actually finally beat the New Day? hmm

The only reason I'm interested in tag titles now is cause they're actually up for grabs. Everyone knew new day wasn't losing until they snapped Demolition streak. Vince is a stubborn old man and is being sued by Demolition. He still has his hands gripped tight over RAW's neck, which is why Smackdown is so much better now

As a Reigns fan, I wish the U.S. Title was defended more and more of a focus of a storyline. IMO it's better than the Universal Title but the writers are horrible at making it big. The matches he did have in defending it were all great matches. They should focus more on it every week instead of seems like every other week.

Ty Hope · 01-02-2017, 11:51 PM

RAW is so mediocre. I fast forward through most of it.

Yes because it's 2 on 2 not 2 on 3 anymore.

So Taker probably is there to announce that New Orleans gets the next WM, which is #@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@ since it should be Minneapolis. But doesn't that make his pre-SS Smackdown pep talk a bit pointless now if he isn't even exclusive to their show?
