Latest PPV and weekly show discussion thread

@milkman: Thanks.

Heyman is teasing a new Paul Heyman guy tonight on twitter. So it's either:

1. Complete bullshit for a bit.
2. Antonio Cesaro (or somebody in that status...)
3. RVD (Oh God No.), or
4. Somebody from NXT (Corey Graves, Bray Wyatt, Kassius Ohno)

@turboman: Maybe I'm reading too much into the wording, but Heyman's website is hinting at WWE getting more Extreme, so I guess RVD? And that's hilarious because the last time they were together in WWE, Heyman screwed RVD out of the ECW Title.

Oh and here are my Krazy™ predictions for the third guy:

1. The Miz: There was an article on WWE.com talking about how Heyman says that he helped create The Miz and that tandem would get heel heat from all audiences.
2. Kaitlyn: Paul Heyman is actually the secret admirer and he's out to form a faction where every member is a Champion.
3. The Shield: Not really Krazy™ because it seems pretty logical.
4. Big Show: We've gone back in time to 2002/2006.
5. Christian: Would be a good way to bring him back.

Believe in the Shield

MONDAY NIGHT CHAT

TONIGHT...Giant Bomb streams during Raw so no one watches.

So who is Axel Curtis?

@boocreepyfootdoctor: He is Michael Magilicutty from the Nexus. He is Mr. Perfect's son, which is why they gave him that great remixed theme.

Slapping the newly branded Curtis, threatening to fire a doctor for doing his job and collapsing while the show fades to black without really showing the newly repackaged character and keeping all the attention on himself.

Most Triple H Raw ever.

So who is Axel Curtis? He was that one guy who was called a child and bitch slapped. Only to be almost beaten by hhh. Luckily the viral heart disease kicked in.

No exaggeration, I laughed for a solid 5 minutes straight after Raw ended. That Triple H, man. THAT GUY!

As soon as HHH interrupted Heyman's promo, I said to myself "how long until he buries Lesnar or the new guy?" I think it was about 15 seconds.

That ending was terrible, but lets look at the bright side! That six man tag match was AMAZING. I love that they've actually used the Shield well and not just killed them immediately like Nexus.

First two hours were really good end of the show dragged on a bit but other wise some good matches in their tonight. And hey first Raw in a long time when John Cena was not on he can stay off until pay back as far as I am concerned.

Stay tuned next week for the 20 minute HHH retirement speech! Then in 4 months for the 20 minute HHH unretiring speech

I guess even the WWE twitter account finds it funny

Hopefully Next Week on Raw:

HHH comes out to "My Time" in a denim jacket and pants and demands Kurt Angle to come out and face him like a man for kissing his passed out wife on the couch.

@turboman: I'm hoping he comes out next week in his Hemsley gimmick and the announcers slowly learn that he's not all there.

Basically I want him to be Jay Sherman's dad from The Critic

Triple H comes out next week and cuts a 20 minute promo on his upcoming Hogpen Match in front a bewildered crowd.

Well raw was good except for that ending.. ugh. I won't linger on it, here, this will help us all forget that ever happened.

(Sneaky Layla with the surprise squeeze)

The Good

• No Cena - After he went EXTREME last night and barely walked away, Cena didn't make his monthly "let me brush that off my shoulders and give a goofy promo after a PPV match" promo.
• Titus O'Neal vs. Sheamus - This match might not lead to anything, but I'm glad that Titus got a chance to showcase his strength here against Sheamus. Here's to the PTP being taken serious sometime soon again.
• Curtis Axel - Curtis has always had potential in my eyes, and is fairly sharp in the ring. Combining him with Paul Heyman could be one of the smartest things in years. If he never makes it to the main event, he's going to be a very serious mid-carder with Paul Heyman at his side.
• Big E vs. Del Rio - We've been seeing Del Rio dominating every free match he's been in for the past year or so, so it's refreshing to see someone go over the #1 contender tonight. Maybe this begins building for a Big E vs. Zigglypuff feud?
• Six Man Tag - We've seen Shield vs. Team Hell No/somebody else for a while now, but these matches are still really good. Daniel Bryan's mission in the match was not to look like the weakest link, and by the end of the match he looks like he's ready to be WWE Champion.

The Bad

• What the hell was that finish? Seriously... what in the hell was that finish?

If it makes any difference, WWE did officially list Curtis Axel as the winner.

The intro to Wade Barrett's new theme is doooooope

Guys I uh....

Ya know, if it hadn't been of Triple H, that would of been a fairly good raw. Sure, the Curtis Axel bit would of ended without much, and they should of made the 6 man Tag Match be the show ender, but with simply removing Triple H, the show would of been better.

It makes you wonder who's doing the booking for The Shield and why they aren't allowed to write for anyone else

Just watched the 6 man tag match, Jesus Christ Daniel Bryan was moving at a speed that I haven't seen him move at in the WWE.

I loved almost all of the six man tag but the very end. Roman needs Ambrose to break the pin, but immediately after another, bigger power move, kicks out at two. The spear and the pin on Kane looked weak. It was like the CPU beating you in WWE13 because the kickout mechanism is so janky. Kane was tearing shit up, and just one "comeback" move, just a spear, takes him out without even a shoulder being pressed down by Roman. Weird.

@boocreepyfootdoctor: Roman's Spear = Death

@boocreepyfootdoctor: Roman Reigns is a bad motherfucker

in BDAWWWWWWW news:

I heard McGillicutty is a Heyman guy now.

This gives me a solid erection.

Last night's angle with Triple H to end Raw was the beginning of a concussion angle. At this time, the plan is to keep Triple H off TV for a while, and when he returns the McMahon family (Stephanie and Vince) will try and convince Triple H that he should not wrestle again.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yeah, they obviously looked at Dolph and said "we should go something with this".

But they didn't want to bring sympathy to a heel, so now we get Trips stumbling around while announcers do the Owen voice.

It sucks when WWE gets to say "TOLD YA SO" after watching the app integration on Xbox One and now we get to have APP APP APP on our screens during the commercial breaks.

Smartglass and the WiiU have been around for ages. They didn't CREATE that shit but I'm sure they will take the credit for it.

How do I watch nxt the fastest.

Youtube Comedy Week is the worst:

@hockeymask27 said:

It's on The Score on Thursdays at... 7pm or 8pm Eastern in Canada. That's the way I usually do it.

cool but found it online. Also time to ole 1 second.

But it competes with TNA that... sorry I can't even pretend that TNA is better than NXT at this point

Mysterio’s knee was either not healing correctly or was re-injured, since he went to Dr. James Andrews this past week who said he would need arthroscopic knee surgery. He was hopeful of come back next month, but this will delay his return until August.

JUST STOP

In Honor of Owen Hart's death today 14 years ago.

I've always like Mysterio but at this point, he should really consider retiring. Dude has to think about his quality of life and his family.

Sami Zayn has 2 matches on NXT this week. One with Hawkins and one with Cesaro. Now would be a good time to start watching NXT if you don't

Also on NXT, Enzo Amore which is my new favorite wrestler name ever.

Curtis Axel can't even tweet without getting buried.
