**WWE Raw/Smackdown Viewing Thread** - Page 885 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Yeah. I've faithfully tuned in for Raw up until this point. Last week I missed the beginning and didn't mind. Last night I fell asleep halfway through and won't bother watching the rest on DVR. I'm done with Raw until Punk comes back or they freshen up the product in some other major way.

If something ridiculous happens at the PPV like Ambrose jobbing to Kofi, I'm probably done watching those too.

I still think that Bryan will feud with Ziggler for the WHC after Shield get the tag titles, that should be entertaining.

I got so bored of Raw last night I ended up putting it on mute and laughing at Colt Cabanas youtube vids. Really hope the PPV is good, because I'm getting pretty close to not ordering it, and if it's bad, I doubt I follow as closely until Punk is back/Rumble 2014.

Didn't watch RAW, but isn't Cena still storyline injured as well?

i tried looking up the raw results. bleacher report's raw recap is entirely about ziggler on twitter. the only time raw is even mentioned in the entire article is "At times, WWE Raw dragged. Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler mentioned the WWE App far too often. Squash matches and recaps occupied a large portion of the show." - literally the entire rest of the article is about dilphtweets. i have no idea who won any match.

I was under the impression Shield had been losing house show and dark matches by DQ but they had never been pinned/submitted. They might have been intentionally DQed on TV already as well.

I hope Shield win all the belts but they announced their matches last second and should have been main event of Raw along with Cena not HHH/Bork.

It isn't as bad as it sounds. The Shield got themselves DQed. They cost themselves the match, Cena didn't beat them.

cena pinned rollins. reigns was DQd for stopping cena from hitting an AA on ambrose. then ambrose was DQd when reigns and rollins had to save him from the stf.

that is as bad as it sounds.

ok well that is stupid and i am right (unless they mean televised match or Raw match or whatever.)

3/29 Springfield, MA

John Cena, Sheamus and The Big Show beat The Shield by DQ when Roman Reigns used a chair. The faces laid out the heels to send the fans home happy. Cena is from here and was really over with the fans.

there are other examples...

3/30

John Cena & Randy Orton & Sheamus beat The Shield via DQ in a six-man tag match. The match was pretty good, and the finish came when Seth Rollins hit Cena with a chair while he had Dean Ambrose in the STF. This lead to chaos, and then all the faces hit their finishers on each of the three Shield members to send the crowd home happy.

RAW was awful this week.

Lol if Lesnar jobs to Hunter. He went over at WM, came out of the last two RAWS on top. No way does he go over at Extreme Rules? I wasn't around when Lesnar returned, anyone know if he has creative control etc? He's bound to have something in his contract what with his UFC reputation etc.

My god, Raw was awful. What the hell is up with Brock Lesnar not wrestling and him and HHH not going at it? It feels artificial. Same with Cena/Ryback. Ryback is god awful and they're not doing anything to pump up the fued. I will give WWE credit with the WHC, they're doing a lot to build up that match. Unfortunately, it's now a midcard title that noone cares about. And now, because the Tag Team titles have to be 2 people per team, the Shield is going to break up for that match. The Shield needs to be together or break them apart completely. It's so dry booking.

Apparently Heyman is going to reveal his third client tonight. I honestly have no idea who it's going to be.

Managed to watch the parts of the ppv i wanted to see in under 10 mins. The finish to ryback-cena and the highlights of HHH-bork

Tuning in for my first Live raw in over...6 months maybe. Purely because ill be awake anyway and nothing to do .
