    Striker is such a dwarf. How tall is he? Even Slater towers over him.


    I was at the IWW wrestling show he was on years ago. He is only about 5ft8/5ft9.

    :p

    he was doing his best to give the heel the advantage, usually its a little more subtle :P

    ugh, still 2 hours to go and already the eyes are drooping. The 3 hour Raws really are a slog.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,116 ✭✭✭starviewadams


    Sandow did well there,didn't just stand there like a lemon waiting for Kane to steady himself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,640 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    His knee looks really bad. Bryan's I mean.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,758 ✭✭✭Strongbow10


    I wonder will Lesnar make an appearance tonight?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,758 ✭✭✭Strongbow10


    Why is Orton always walking around backstage staring into space, looking constipated and covered in baby oil? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 838 ✭✭✭A Rogue Hobo


    Hi guys, long time viewer, first time poster. Enjoying the show so far, not dragging like the usual 3 hour Raw's decent amount of in-ring action to it as well. What happened to Bryan's knee there? Just missed the end of the match.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,114 ✭✭✭BohsJohnny

    Nah they were working on it if he was hurt they would have just finished the match.

    Isn't that how all us guys pass time?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,116 ✭✭✭starviewadams


    Bryan's that good at selling it's hard to know if the knee injury was legit or not.I'd lean towards it being part of the match though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 344 ✭✭DJKendo


    "The Viper coiled.. He's ready for it!!!!

    RKO.. FROM OUTTA NOWHERE?!??!?!?!?!!"

    What?

    We saw it coming 20 seconds before it happened.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,116 ✭✭✭starviewadams


    Can't be laying hands on Ricky,Ryback nearly killed him last time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 838 ✭✭✭A Rogue Hobo


    Teasing a Steamboat one-off match against Barrett maybe?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,985 ✭✭✭Dunny


    Danny boy. Original.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,868 ✭✭✭Andersonisgod

    Do you also find his promos insanely cringe worthy? They are so forced and not the least but funny to anybody.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,114 ✭✭✭BohsJohnny


    God i hate miz so much.

    I feel the same.

    Remember hearing a few months ago that WWE are trying to mould Sheamus into a John Cena-type. Seems like its happened.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,868 ✭✭✭Andersonisgod


    Miz, he's from Switzerland, not the 1950's.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,116 ✭✭✭starviewadams


    Fair play to Khali for even attempting to take that.Good stuff from Cesaro.

    Thing is that Cena and his promos, as terrible as they often are, do appeal to kids and women (and that kid with glasses) but Sheamus's promos appeal to nobody. Not kids, not women, not Irish people.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,114 ✭✭✭BohsJohnny


    Repeat the spot great again though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 838 ✭✭✭A Rogue Hobo


    Cesaro is very impressive, show is starting to drag now though.

    Rock will be out at 3am or so I'd say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,217 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus

    Yeah. Feel the same. Last 1 hour 40 havent exactly been the "most exciting".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,758 ✭✭✭Strongbow10


    ah the smiling Seamus, great :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 838 ✭✭✭A Rogue Hobo


    Hour 1 was grand, 2nd hour has been complete filler so far though. Yeah I'd say Rock will be out at the top of the hour try and pull in viewers channel surfing, but I hope it's more than just 15 minutes of Rock spouting on about how good it is to be back "home". Something needs to happen.

    EDIT: Preferably involving the Shield.

    or lesnar

    Or 3MB because there hasnt been enough of them on the show tonight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,217 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    Didnt Sheamus and Drew get signed at the same time?

    "thee drew mcintyre" had a solid push when he debuted. A fall from grace huh?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 838 ✭✭✭A Rogue Hobo


    Remember when McIntyre was in the Elimination Chamber? Travesty.

    his missus beating him up was his downfall in Vince's eyes

    alot like John Morrison letting Melina see Batista with no reprecussions


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,641 ✭✭✭andyman


    Looks like a Rock vs Punk face off will end the night then.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 245 ✭✭Foggy.nelson


    Did anyone see xpac in the crowd after sheamus won


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,217 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus

    I honestly think that was his downfall. Not just in Vince or the office's eyes. But I reckon other wrestlers were using that to bury him.

    Looks like it worked. WWE is said to be one f*cked up company to work for. Swimming with the sharks.

    is brock there?

    Rumours of it, but nothing has been confirmed by any news sites, so I would be inclined to doubt it. Love to be proven wrong though.

    "The STB box is going into standby mode"

    Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ... :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,428 ✭✭✭MrKingsley


    the goldberg chants are just lame at this point. Get over it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 838 ✭✭✭A Rogue Hobo


    That was a killer little spot with the "CHAIR OR LADDER!?"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,985 ✭✭✭Dunny

    You really can't though because the gimmick is a complete rip off of Goldberg. Everytime you see Ryback it just brings back memories of Goldberg.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,985 ✭✭✭Dunny


    Rybacks finisher is crap, that march is ridicuous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,270 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    That was funny, you couldn't see Punk sidestep in the original camera angle so it looked like Ryback just flung himself threw a table for no reason.

    True. WWE love to rehash don't they ;)
    Sure Sandow is The Genuis
    Dolph Ziggler is, or was, Mr Perfect imo :P (I am perfection? the look? the over selling? :pac:)
