Alright...part-timers or not...that was an AWESOME ending to RAW. Not that the Rumble needs any hype, but that was pretty freaking cool

ThaReal1 · 01-23-2017, 11:08 PM

OK, cool moment there. RAW been leaning hard on part timers and legends but when Taker's toll hit, goosebumps. Well done

Ha, basically my exact post a minute earlier than I posted. very true

Wolves4Life · 01-23-2017, 11:09 PM

1 of the big 4 (Strauman, Lesnar, Goldberg, Taker) need to be 1st or 2nd to build the suspense.

lrogge1979 · 01-23-2017, 11:15 PM

Loved the ending, goosebumps indeed

Wolves4Life · 01-23-2017, 11:25 PM

Roman SHOULD win Sunday but with the added no DQ I think he loses it. Doesn't hurt him losing cause while it's the stip it's still not going to be a clean loss cause you know Jericho interferes.

I had the opposite reaction I guess. An old Goldberg, an old and out of shape Taker, and a part timer who doesnt really care like Lesnar. Just made me think how much I didnt miss seeing any of them.

WalterAZ31 · 01-24-2017, 09:50 AM

I have to say. Ratings or not. The brand split is working Imo. How convoluted would these shows be with Cena. Ambrose. Styles ziggler Miz. Etc.

The zayn Rollins match was really top notch. Have to admit. And once again......reigns is just horrificly on mic. Everything he says is just so generic and forced. His delivery is awful. He just isn't THAT good. Hes good. But he's just not a guy you build a show around and it shows

Lesnar was promoted, Undertaker wasn't. I had heard weeks ago that both Lesnar and Goldberg were going to be at the go-home show.

They didn't hype Lesnar at all last week for last night or the days leading to RAW.

mikecamp99 · 01-24-2017, 11:22 AM

I'm sure Vince went to Goldberg after that segment last night and told him you ain't banging your head on doors anymore after what happened last night. He looked a bit ridiculous in there bleeding all over for a talking segment. I almost thought he knocked himself so hard he forgot his lines and was stumbling all over the ring until Lesnar showed up.

I think Roman wins on Sunday. The no DQ thing leans in Owens favor, but for months and months and months........... it's been the same story of KO and Jericho vs Roman or Seth and constantly cheating to win. I think it will finally backfire where they somehow get Jericho out or something, they attempt to screw Roman but in the end KO gets screwed and Roman wins. I still think KO vs Jericho happens at Mania.

Maybe not on TV, but locally he was advertised.

Whoever wins the Universal title match could tell who that person faces at Mania. If Reigns wins Strowman (IMO) either wins the Rumble or the #1 contender spot at Fastlane. If Owens retains the same goes for Jericho which would be a dumb match IMO. Good story but shouldn't be for the title.

He probably concussed himself on the door. It's not 12 years ago. His head can't take that.

I thought that was hilarious. At least it wasn't something scripted and predictable. He played it off well though.

Rumble prediction- Balor returns at 28 and wins it, challenges Styles at WM

That would be sweet, but Balor is a Raw guy and unlike how they did it in the past it sounds like the winner will challenge the champion of their brand.

BoxBreaker72 · 01-24-2017, 04:22 PM

That whole last segment was embarrassing. You bring those three men out and have them stand there like morons to close the show?

Rewind the clock 10 years and there is non stop anarchy to close the show.

I go on Wrestling sites and they didn't have a problem with it.

Jericho · 01-24-2017, 08:23 PM

I had a problem with it. I dont need total anarchy at the end, but 3 guys past their prime standing there to end it is kind of sad.

I hear others on other sites say that. But I'd prefer to see Joe/AJ I just dont see the big deal about Balor TBH. Never have, but thats just me.
