Nothing special on the website. Just making this thread to get early discussion in. Should be interesting to see the directions they go in after the PPV results.
Pretty much this.First time in a while that I am actually really excited for Raw. Is it because of Austin, Rock or Lesnar are going to appear on the show? Nope, it is because 3 NXT guys. 2 of which are promising, 1 of which has been highly anticipated since the start of the year.
It's actually quite amazing. It was the same effect when Nexus debuted, I mean who'd of thought the likes of Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel could make you get excited for what was to come the following weeks? Us wrestling fans love unpredictability, the shock factor and many wrestling fans around the world tonight were shocked.
I hope they really have planned this and not just thought fuck it we're gonna have to debut you some time lets just throw you out there now, you're all gonna get eaten by Ryback eventually anyway etc. etc.
Are they part of Heymans little "gang"? Are they essentially a Nexus mark 2 and just want WWE contracts? Will they be recruiting anyone new? Were they 'hired' or apart of a Brad Maddox plan? Who knows, hopefully we find out tonight!
I obviously didn't see the ppv, and don't know how the whole vibe felt throughout the night.It may have been the most contentious ending to a Survivor Series main event since Mr. McMahon changed the course of WWE history 15 years ago on a cold Montreal night.
The senate race played a role... whether they admit it or not. I mean, it isn't really a coincidence that the violence tuned down for a while then suddenly, only weeks after her loss, Sheamus goes off on Show, Orton teases the punt (something that was "banned" wasn't it?) and then some edgier tones. While they won't go AE levels with Mattel (or at least not likely to), it's clear it was massively toned down to limit "controversy" for the senate race.WWE.com
I obviously didn't see the ppv, and don't know how the whole vibe felt throughout the night.
But with the results I've read, it seems like this ppv could go down in history as the turning point, and the dawn of a new era.
IF they follow through and don't drop the ball like usual.
Some people don't want to put all the blame on Linda's Senate race,
but maybe it was one of the most intricate parts to what we've gotten lately.
Especially what we've gotten for the past (maybe) 2 months when we were getting closer to the race.
I know Mattel still plays a big role, but maybe now we can actually get some edge and passion.
You lucky bastard.Got front row seats (not floor seats) to RAW. Super pumped!
He's 6'4, bro. You're reaching.
