This RAW. :falcons:

 

[ThomasTomasz]

The "Bad News Barrett" pulpit-on-a-cherry picker is fuckin' AWESOME.

The rest of the gimmick is turrible, but I definitely had to :lol: at the cherry picker.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

This RAW. :falcons:

It started promising and will end promising.

The rest seems to be a case of half the roster being in Toronto for the most inexplicably booked house show ever.

This RAW. :falcons:

Every big name they've got is at a house show in Toronto tonight.

*EDIT: Warner got me by a second. :smh:

John Cena, Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Goldust, Kane, Alberto Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler, The Wyatt Family and Big Show were officially billed to be there.

Other than Ziggler and the Wyatts? That's a big chunk of the roster that otherwise would have filled in well for the end-of-the-year show.

So I guess explaining what's best for business is enough to make everyone forget their 9 month feud #VinceMcMahonLogic

Can't beat them?

Buy them out and squeeze them dry for every dime they can still make.

 

[JayDizzle]

Well FUCK.

Brock Lesnar just fuckin' ENDED Mark Henry.

 

[Leftwich]

Brock screams like a girl... lol

 

[s@ppisgod]

I hear Brock Lesnar and Mark Henry and I think it's gonna suck. But I'll tell you, that was pretty entertaining. We'll see where they take it from here...

 

[JayDizzle]

Another reason the Divas division doesn't get any recognition?

We get to hear about fucking Hand Sanitizer instead of actual in-ring commentary.

Puppy talk would have been better.

There are circles of fans out there who are about to get their dream match, so that's good. It does nothing for me.

Puppy talk would have been better.

I heard Lawler was trying his damnedest to get it going with a trademark "...we have the best seat in the house" comment.

You could hear JBL's fingers hit the keys of his phone as he was tweeting something it was so quiet.

The one thing worse than a bad reaction is no reaction at all and that's what the Divas match got.

 

[Ravin]

They need to stop booking these Total Divas vs Other Divas matches because they are just clusterfucks and don't tell anything. There is no reason for a 5 on 5 divas match where they get in no moves and don't show anything they can do. It's just a big eye candy match looking at Nikki and Eve Marie.

Get back to tag team matches or singles and get it over with.

Total Divas was a big ratings success and makes the company a shit ton of money in rights fees. They cant sell NXT or Superstars to anybody, so Total Divas is the #3 money maker right now in a business climate where rights fees have surpassed PPV as the main revenue generator.

So unfortunately, get used to it. They will keep doing this to keep TD hot until the new season starts.

That's not my objection. My objection is 5 on 5 matches. It does nothing. Have total divas tag matches. Bella's vs team and Funkadaktals vs someone. Boom, you get two matches.

 

[JayDizzle]

So the key to Danielson's offense is getting beat to shit and get a last minute move in to move on?

Seemed to have work until the prerequisite fuck finish happened.

Seems oddly like Jeffrey Hardy to me.

 

[JayDizzle]

And so RAW ends in 2013 with a Danielson turn to now Follow the Buzzards.

I'm interested to see where this goes.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

What a terrible ending.

Babyfaces aren't supposed to succumb to the heel's manipulation...EVER.
