Official Raw thread

Lol. There's no fucking way Austin is 6'5". He's listed as 6'2" and given this is pro wrestling where they exaggerate everything (height and especially weight), he's actually 6 foot or under.

Word going around that Samoa Joe and Cesero are going the other way in the almas/ Vega trade

 

[RobToxin]

He #5 on worst gimmicks.

Behind

4) Dragonmaster ( USWA)
3) Gobbly Gooker
2) Yeti
1) Shockmaster

If we are including USWA in this....

As of this afternoon, The Viking Experience tag team has been re-christened "The Viking Raiders."

The current WWE NXT Tag Team Champions, Erik and Ivar, formerly Rowe and Hanson, officially debuted last Monday on the Raw roster.

At one point, as PWInsider.com reported, the team was slated to be titled "The Bezerkers" but instead debuted as The Viking Experience.

I'm pretty sure the plan has always been for Joe to debut on Raw so Cesaro for Black/Andrade/Vega seems like an unbalanced trade. Raw has enough depth on the Male singles roster it shouldn't matter too much but still a weird trade if nobody else ends up there

Te-gar was meant instead of Dragon Master

Firefly Funhouse is awesome. I am all about this

Im legit excited about this Bray Wyatt PeeWeeHermann character.

I hope his funhouse will "Heal" all of the superstars that have been "hurt"....but all it will really be doing is hypnotizing them into his cult.

Like Beaver Cleavage?

Styles/Rollins feels like it should main event a summerslam.

Really rushing this along.

But it should be a....phenomenal...match.

 

[justanidiot]

Well, considering Steve ripped of Sandman’s character from his ECW days, you might as well hate Sandman too. But I’ve met the guy a few times, you might want to do that at your own risk.

Dont you remember Steve Austin starting out ripping off Ric Flair?

This feels like it has to end in a screwy finish, possibly a MITB cash in

Saw most of this on Twittah machine. I think it is really honky and cheesy. Might be the death of wyatt

That match is a MOTY contender already.

IMO The remaining 5 and three more( John boy is one)are probably going be the MITB match.

Something interesting though.

I don't disagree at all.

I'm just thinking putting it on a major PPV with a major buildup would've been more ideal.

Fun fact from Firefly Funhouse; all of Bray's puppets were designed by famed Hollywood horror designer and special effects master Tom Savini

 

[Judge Fudge]

Is it me or they trying to turn Bobby Roode into another Rick Rude

I didnt see RAW, but woke up and just saw a photo of the Bray Wyatt funhouse thing. All it said was Bray Wyatt's character change with the Funhouse logo and him as the character. My immediate thought was, wow wwe absolutely killed Bray Wyatt, worse than having him lose to Cena at WM. I thought the whole thing was a bad joke.

Then I watched the clip, and wow, I am cautiously optimistic. Has potential to be an awesome gimmick that can also always tie in his previous character, so it's not like a completely new character and he's playing something completely different. I am cautiously optimistic because this is the WWE and they've ruined Wyatt before, they could ruin him again. Also with this gimmick I feel it can really go either way, could be awesome IF they do it right, or could be a big ho-hum in a couple months and become forgettable, OR lastly, WWE can really make this thing turn for the worse.

I read that the one puppet, Mercy is a salute to Waylon Mercy.

LOL.

Apparently WWE changed the War Raiders/The Viking Experience/The Viking Raiders name AGAIN.

They are now the Viking Warriors.

The name was part of a poll WWE sent out. It could have just been a typo mistake but that would be hilarious if they change it again.
