Lashley's Ladies have gone downhill from last week

erickman 05-24-2021 08:07 PM

damn those women are ugly enough to work at swingers place

Lock Jaw 05-24-2021 08:12 PM

Did he ever get officially divorced from his wife Lana?!?!

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 08:16 PM

That opening segment with Lashley, MVP, Kofi, and Drew was somewhat boring.

Was thinking the same thing when he brought out the women again.

Outside of one of them saying they wanted a divorce, don't remember WWE ever actually following up on it on RAW.

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 08:33 PM

Drew almost spiked Kofi's head with that Michinoku Driver he busted out.

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 08:44 PM

Kofi almost whiffed on that backwards dive he likes to do from the top rope. Barely managed to land on Drew to cause the domino effect to Lashley.

:| A very good and entertaining match between Kofi and Drew ended via a DQ because WWE doesn't like to give satisfying payoffs to matches on tv.

erickman 05-24-2021 08:48 PM

is nicki cross getting her match before they fire her

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 08:53 PM

:lol: at Rhea Ripley vs. Nikki Cross ending in a draw because Ripley's a dumbass when it comes to a Beat The Clock Challenge stip.

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 09:04 PM

So Drew vs. Kofi going 30+ minutes tonight ended up being completely meaningless since instead of just making it a triple threat at Hell in a Cell for the WWE title, they are just going to redo Drew vs. Kofi next week.

yeah what was that about make there champ look dumb.

an it was not a draw since rhea could not beat nicki in 2 mins nicki won.

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 09:11 PM

Charlotte somehow managed to botch getting tossed out of the ring. Like instead of going straight through the ropes, she decided to do a mini-flip and bounced right off of it.

Yeah Ripley's booking since she won the belt has been mostly bad.

Didn't help that she also felt like a big afterthought to Charlotte tonight since not only was the match a dud, they quickly played Charlotte's music for her match right after it ended.

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 09:23 PM

That was one goofy looking Judas Effect/spinning elbow strike by Charlotte.

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 09:27 PM

:lol: the ref botched the pin count win for Charlotte since Asuka's left shoulder kept coming up and he didn't stop.

Match itself was pretty good but came to the realization during it that I don't really care about Charlotte and her booking and matches anymore on RAW. Even her win felt anti-climatic since there was no way Asuka was getting the upper hand over her 2 weeks in a row and WWE's rock solid fascination with 50-50 booking.

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 09:31 PM

WWE is going to drive their return of fans to shows announcement hard into the ground if all these promos on RAW is any indication.

I give it until around the 2nd show before fans go back to booing WWE's booking of things and only because RAW won't be their first tv show back with fans.

erickman 05-24-2021 09:39 PM

well that was a waste of a segment must be killing time.

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 09:39 PM

Alexander's voice cracking during his pre-match promo sounded like he had just hit puberty.

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 09:53 PM

Between the multiple long matches and people showing up in multiple segments, WWE barely put any effort in the writing for the 1st 2 hours of tonight's show.

Also that makes it 3 out of 4 matches soo far that either didn't end clean or was a quick nothing match.

erickman 05-24-2021 09:56 PM

oh hell no orton he has been the best part of raw the last few weeks.

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 10:06 PM

Riddle somehow pulled a Marko Stunt with him jumping right into position for Woods suplex counter.

Never seen that done before for someone of Riddle's side.

More impressed with how smooth Woods caught Riddle and him managing to balance Riddle enough to pull off the suplex.

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 10:13 PM

Ouch at Woods landing right on his head from Riddle's German suplex from the ropes.

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 10:14 PM

:lol: at Riddle busting out an RKO OUTTA NOWHERE.

Riddle vs. Woods was very good and best thing on the show soo far.

Volare 05-24-2021 10:21 PM

I walked by my roomate watching RAW and saw the RKO, almost spit out my drink!

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 10:22 PM

Whelp Ripley can kiss her RAW Women's title goodbye at Hell in a Cell since her vs. Charlotte just got announced for it.

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 10:25 PM

:| at Jaxson Ryker beating AJ Styles albeit via some cheating by Elias.

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 10:31 PM

One one hand, nice of WWE to air vignettes for low to mid tier feuds on RAW tonight but on the other hand, it really does feel like they are just padding out the time since they very likely half-assed the script more than usual this week.

Take away all the pre-match vignettes and the multiple superstars promos about the return of fans that were just filler and the Ripley vs. Nikki match would have gotten enough time to be a real match instead.

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 10:40 PM

Match count on tonight's RAW soo far has been just 2 clean matches, 1 mostly nothing match, and 4 matches ending via DQ or shenanigans.

Odds of the Women's Tag title match ending in a satisfying manner are currently very low.

This pre-match Nia & Shayna promo stunk.

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 10:50 PM

Either Eva Marie managed to pull off a heel-to-face turn via a vignette or WWE changed their minds on her heel/face alignment while filming these.

That new vignette was a lot more positive and face-like than the initial ones she had.

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2021 11:04 PM

:| at the ending to the Women's Tag title match.

That's going to go down as one of the worst and/or dumbest in recent years in WWE.

Seriously who did Shayna piss off backstage to get this shitty booking treatment.

This week's show was average overall even if that feels a bit harsh of a rating. The in-ring stuff was mostly good and entertaining and the non-ring stuff was a lot less shitty than usual but something about this week's show felt off and a lot more filler than usual as well.

Well, this is the same company that conveniently forgot that Dominic Mysterio is himself a title to be won, so we don't need to worry about such details. But since he is an active wrestler now, it would be interesting if he were able to win custody of himself.

Missing Smeat already.

Sepholio 05-31-2021 08:29 PM

LOL Riddle just gave the best delivery of the word "shucks" ever. I am dying over here. He was so legit about it like that is just honestly the word that came to his head.

RP 05-31-2021 08:33 PM

I'm in for 5 DQ's... how many so far? I'm not watching.

erickman 05-31-2021 08:38 PM

erickman 05-31-2021 08:46 PM
