WWE RAW Discussion Thread - August 19, 2013 from Anaheim, CA (#1056)

I'm kinda hoping the Shield don't just become the jobber team for The Mcmahons, it'd be nice if they'd remain impartial in terms of it's simply part of their modus operandi to seek "justice".

[Guest Ciaran The King]

I also think this is a plan to slowly get Reigns ready for a big singles push

[The Icon 152]

Sin Cara broke his fingers I think Maxx. That was some spot.

[Guest The Beltster]

Tito Santana is fuming.

[The Icon 152]

For those wondering the matadors are primo and epico.

[Omega 354]

No one was

[Guest Ciaran The King]

So are the Shield members of the McMahon-Helmsley Clique?

[The Icon 152]

Only time will tell that

[Guest Drake]

I hope not.

 

P.S: Is Bryan the "new" Steve Austin? As in the rebel who'll go against the entire company?

[Guest Ciaran The King]

If Bryan can achieve even half of what Austin did in WWE then we are all in for a hell it a ride

I'm guessing he's gonna be more an "underdog" than an "a*skicker", but I imagine he's gonna be the guy to stand up to Vince and Trippers and chase down Orton.

 

To be honest I'm hoping this spreads out into a company wide angle with Bryan at the forefront. I figured the Mcmahons acting up like this is gonna put the noses out of place on a lot of people. In fact I'm totally expecting Bryan to captain a Survivor Series team against a bunch of Vince and Tripper's handpicked guys.

[Guest Jack]

I can see them getting Michaels involved in the angle too at some point. I like the sound of Michaels teaming with Bryan to take on Orton and Triple H a lot, though obviously there'd be a worry that Michaels and Triple H being involved would take away the attention from Bryan and Orton. Still, I think it's a match which would get a lot of people interested and being endorsed by Michaels would be a great boost for Bryan. He could defend his former pupil, talk about how he was 'different' compared to the musclebound WWF Champions in previous years and so on. The match would be fantastic too.

 

Triple H, Orton and The Shield vs. Bryan and four others at Survivor Series intrigues me a lot too. I'm excited about this angle and it has so much potential there given who is involved. The underdog vs. authority figure is overdone in wrestling but I'd be up for this.

[Guest The Beltster]

So does Cena's 4-6 months out cover his wellness fails for his 100% steroid related torn triceps and pec or does that just get washed over and he gets another pass?

If he returns in 30 days, then there might be something into that. :lol

He gets another pass because he is who he is

[Guest Edgehead]

With Cena out of the picture for 4-6 months, Bryan should have a decent run as top face & I know its still 5 months away but right now my moneys firmly on him winning the Rumble.

 

Also, when did the PTPs turn face?? Admittedly I've never paid much attention to them but I'm sure they were heels last time I saw them

Great RAW: Loved the beginning and ending segments with Daniel Bryan!

[The Icon 152]

The ptp turned face when Darren came out of the closet. Or So it seems.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

As long as Bryan keeps up the work rate then he will be fine, that is until he starts to break down like CM Punk

[Guest The Beltster]

When did the PTPs turn face??

The very second it made you a homophobe to boo DY.

[Guest Edgehead]

I thought as much :lol

[Maxximus 353]

I hope not.

Hopefully next week he drives a truck into the arena and sprays everyone with V8 juice.

[Guest Drake]

:lol

 

He needs something more organic.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Okay Raw apart from the beginning and end which were scintillating.

 

Bryan was again on fire last night and his exchanges with Stephanie were great.

 

Finale to Raw was great, so happy that heel Orton is back. Excited to see where this goes

[dsrchris 190]

Aww, Punk putting the bad mouth on an annoying dude in the crowd...that takes me back :wub
