BAH GAWD

SHEAMUS WINS

[Onyx]

Back to the dark ages of 2010 we go.

[Firenze]

lmfao sheamuus as WWE champion

i'm done

[M99]

Yea sheamus is another possibility but that would just be lazy and obvious. Guess we know how it will end then

You got that right.

I like Reigns more than Sheamus so I'm not exactly happy.

[Firenze]

PPV was terrible, skipped a lot of it, left it on in the background

Undertaker match was garbo, have the Wyatt's ever won a major feud? lmfao bums

Sheamus being the champ heading into 2016 is just disgusting, he's trash

[M99]

Honestly the Reigns booking does not bode well in the long term. He is gonna be Superman, Cena 2.0. Why not turn him heel like they did with Rock? Why is it a must that face of the company has to be superman.

Pretty sure Sheamus is transitional. He's probably gonna drop it to Brock and we will get Roman vs Brock II on Wrestlemania.

[silver]

They actually went with the most boring option...

[RealGunner]

you can include me into the list of only rating a female wrassler based on her appearance, could care less if she's capable of performing moves tbh tbf. Can't even remember the likes of Stacy Keibler wrestling but she's GOAT tier IMO.

that said

omg


She's allowed though.

[RealGunner]

Sheamus

[Casciavit]

Sheamus won

[M99]

According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio, the decision to make Sheamus the champion was decided just hours before the show. The reason was that they did not want fans to boo Reigns as the champion and felt that would cheer for him while booing Sheamus as the champion

[Onyx]

Well they had the Rock come out and raise his hand after the rumble and he was still booed. Really don't understand why they're refusing to turn him heel. It's not like its Cena where the company rests on his shoulders.

[RealGunner]

How was the reaction for Sheamus win?

[Firenze]

crickets

except online where it was ppl laughing at reigns being champion for 2 minutes before realizing that it meant suffering through sheamus as champion

[Casciavit]

Amazing how everybody coming into the PPV looked worse coming out of it, how is that even possible? All the 'future' were made to look like crap.

Also Bray's done, not sure how anyone can take him seriously anymore. I think the same can apply to Dean as well.

[RealGunner]

Heard Taker buried him. Twice in a year now

[RealGunner]

General reaction seems to be that it was one of the worst PPVs in a long time.

[RealGunner]

Came across this on facebook.

One of the greatest segments of all time IMO. Ridiculous star power. Even jobbers/hench men were quality.

[Onyx]

Jobsaro out for 4-6 months. Sharing dat hospital room with Rollins.

WWE has confirmed that Cesaro has a shoulder injury, a left shoulder rotator cuff, and has had it for a few months now. Cesaro had worked through the injury, knowing something was wrong, and had an MRI done. He was looking forward to getting to rehab the injury but received a call the next day saying he tore one tendon and partially tore another one. He’s having surgery this afternoon and noted that the official timeframe for his return is 4-6 months, depending on how surgery and rehab goes.

[AnJl]

This is a pretty good promo

[zizzle]

Dean is not jobbing, he's been featured very strongly this year and main evented a couple of PPVs. Not being a Champ is not jobbing, he has a nice spot in the upper mid card and he's protected enough to maintain it.

Reigns turning heel would have made more sense to Vince if Cena and Orton were on TV. Heels dont draw ratings/merch sales and the company would suffer ffrom having no strong face on tv. Short term strategy? sure, Reigns needs the heel turn, but what makes sense to us doesnt always make sense to the boss so thats that

Sheamus is transitional, he will drop the title sooner or later. It looks like we're having HHH vs Reigns for Mania, and if Reigns is champ going into the event, expect HHH to win the rumble and challenge Reigns for the title.

[silver]

Would take HHH over Sheamus any day...

[Onyx]

Can't see the WWE improving unless we get another big controversial storyline like Punk's pipebomb or the Yes movement.

It's just gonna be stuck in a rut with all these generic rehashed kayfabe good guy vs bad guy storylines. I really appreciate the 2011-2014 era more now, in spite of its shortcomings.

Also these new generation of wrestlers suck. No charisma, no larger than life personality, no mic skills etc.

The final WWE RAW rating for this week’s Survivor Series fallout show was a 2.16, down from last week’s 2.28.

This number, according to F4WOnline.com’s Dave Meltzer, is the lowest rating since before the start of the Attitude Era, and it was called “a disaster” for WWE.

As noted earlier, this week’s show drew a new non-holiday low of 2.964 million viewers, which was a drop from last week, and  and 200,000 viewers less than the previous low total nearly 19 years ago.

Meltzer noted this week’s Monday Night Football game between the NFL’s New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills gained about two million more viewers than other totals this season, possibly giving a reason for WWE’s drop. This is the first time since 1997 that WWE RAW failed to average more than three million viewers.

[RealGunner]

Who in the world would tune in to current RAW


When Sheamus' promo is the best thing about RAW, you know it's time to start watching Lucha underground
