Truthslayer's 9-20 Raw Thoughts

[twiztidlestat]

Parkour, is NOT outdated, its actually flipping hot. A show on MTV dedicated about it, Prince of Persia has it, as well as Assassin Creed. So....Yeah

[SuperR1991]

I HATE HELL IN A CELL MATCHES NOW THERE NOT THAT GOOD ANYMORE

[Richiepookinshoo]

"John Cena overcoming the odds" What a fresh and edgy idea

[hamburgeler84]

I saw the ppv stuff on here and this is what I think they need to do. I don't think they have to many ppv's either. What the problem is is that both shows are on every ppv. What the E should do is really solidify a brand split. Have each show have their own ppvs by splitting the ppv's evenly across both shows save for the big four. Get rid of the gimmicks or not as many so that feuds can progress naturally instead of around the ppv and this will give more feud and tv time for both shows people

[AmericanNohbuddy]

@hamburgeler84

They tried that already lol.

[burth179]

I wish I had a buck for every time TSLAY says a match, or a show as a whole "was just there".

Anyway, I pretty much agree with him about the show, and also about Edge. Something seems off a little off with him since he came back. Maybe I'm just tired of him, I don't know.

[ondalowki]

LOL wwe sucks dicks

[ElfenLied619]

Ten bucks says Orton wins next week on RAW.

[NoBrianNoGain]

Thanks Truth - glad you're doing regular show updates of SD! and RAW as well as your ppv reviews :)

[TraciPeteyforlife]

Bryan Danielson = great.. Edge = it is time to retire. His body can't take it any longer. Jericho = should also retire sometime soon.  Triple H = stay hurt and gone forever. Randy = fire him. Shamless = boring. Cena = least he's got some life in him. ntxs = baried. Raw = needs new writers.

[ReneO93V2]

7 people thought raw was great, it seems XD

[836mvp50]

what a way to bury.. the hell in a cell concept with having only 2 weeks of build up

[jaws5204]

wait wait wait..people really watched wwe over monday night football against the saint and 49rs...yall missed a good game

[jeffhardynextwwesman]

yeahell they should give this 1 1/2 month of bulid bulid like crazy then you lla good buy rate

[ToruKun1]

I've decided to call Alex Riley "White!Virgil" from now on, since he's just Miz's manservant.

[Ratmann3684]

tslay, morrisons activity is called "parkour". pay attention.

[MrUndertakerHBKfan]

I loved the show. (:

[BigDaddy0207]

One PPV per month is enough I wouldn't mind 6-10 but I think 12 is the max for any company.

[Nordfelt]

I can't believe someone actually makes videos about a joke program like WWE...this stuff still blows my mind.

[firebolten24]

Agree on the too many ppvs. But Not on Edge. Although I think he should be in the Title picture I think he has been very entertaining the last few weeks. His promos with Zack Ryder are hilarious.

[nextbigthing]

The great Alberto Del Rio is the only thing that can save Raw.

[Nordfelt]

@nextbigthing who is Alberto Del Rio? haha

[HowTingz]

The last time I can remember a personal services contract storyline it involved Scott Stiener, Test and Stacy Kiebler....................

[tnawwf235]

How can TNA impact be worse than RAW? i dont get you slayer

[tnawwf235]

Please do TNA reviews

[KingBurkey]

There is only gonna be 2 HITC matches. Both of the title matches. Of course Taker vs Kane needs to be in the cell but i don't agree with Orton vs Sheamus in the cell. Barrett vs Cena should be in the cell since that feuds been brewing since Nexus debut.

[willferrelsux]

WWE sucks.

Tslay, I can't wait for DGUSA in Milwaukee/Chicago.

[Mypugfrank]

I Agree WWE has way too many ppvs as Hell in the cell is not a needed ppv I think the list should go like this Royal Rumble No Way Out { I like that name better than Elimination Chamber } Wrestlemaina Backlash Judgement Day King of the Ring Over The Limit Summerslam Night of Champions No mercy Survivor Series Armageddon I know this is how wwe used to have their ppv but I think one every month is better than 1 every two weeks

[SalsaShark109]

Ha. Hair wings. Nice.

[Theartofthemark]

I didn't think raw was all that bad. I think we got jipped out of a few matches like when edge beat daniel bryan do to interference and then the decesion was reversed so that daniel bryan won by disqualification. I'm looking forward to the Cena and Barrett hell in a cell. I think cena will join nexus just because of how whacky the bookers are their. And what can you say about Orton other than he is GOD right now.

[TheBSKILL]

Cena vs. Barrett is a singles match @ the moment. But I get a feeling next week the GM will announce it a Hell in a Cell because why wouldn't Nexus just interfere if it was a singles match? Anyways RAW was decent I thought. Liked Jericho/Morrison. Jericho is like the only veteran that puts over talent.

[HBKForever2010V1]

there was 3 new theme songs last night

[Strangepete]

Cena was actually impressive on the mic and I loved the dropkick! Made up for the botch at NOC.

He is getting better you have to admit.

[xmonkeyofevil]

While blood would be nice, as long as they beat the shit out of each other with the cage/weapons, it should be ok. Taker/Edge is the way this needs to be booked.

[mickeybabylon]

HIAC is in 2 weeks!? I swear, WWE would make more money with 4 PPVs a year and a bunch of Saturday Night's Main Event-type free TV shows than they do now with this barage of throwaway PPVs. They seem to have purged themselves of all remnants of The Attitude Era that worked, and kept all the crap that doesn't work (too many PPVs, too much weekly programming, utterly predictable show format, Kane, etc.)

[AttitudeEra12]

you make it sound so dull

[CesarManiaX]

Michael Cole likes sucking Miz's dick really hard. 

[CesarManiaX]

what's with all these reviews for shows? just asking

[Neiler187]

Summerslam 2008 HIAC was great with no blood but like you said three is just too many to not have any blood.

[civilwarfare101]

HIAC ppv in only 2 weeks!? Vintage WWE!!!

[AdoublesLdouble]

RAW ain't a wrestling show, it's a lame ripoff of SNL with minimal wrestling and mostly lame skits and promos. And I mean a lame ripoff of modern day SNL, which in itself is lame

[MegaDarkangel13]

@AdoublesLdouble better then impact

[ondalowki]

@MegaDarkangel13 no it's not

[MegaDarkangel13]

@ondalowki HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA as bad as raw is, impact is way worst, impact makes no sense what so ever

[ondalowki]

@MegaDarkangel13 Or does it make perfect sense?

[richardshort2001]

2 people thought this was the greatest Raw ever!

[sorryarnold]

Change the intro dude: Its depressing

[CadillacL]

Unfortunately, TSlay, its still not a wrestling show. Don't see us getting one, anytime soon.

[SamuraiFoochs]

After seeing the Bragging Rights poster, I seriously think Barrett might win, which blows my fucking mind.

[LV5454]

A hell in a cell ppv needs to go away

[Thewwekiller]

Ted's new theme is just god awful. Whoever chose his theme should be fired on the spot.

[wwetnasux]

Wade Barrett needs a real finisher before I'll take her seriously. the move he uses is just a mere setup move in Japan. It's not much better than the Attitude Adjustment. All it is really is a version of Mark Henry's finisher where you don't drop with the opponent. At least Henry actually lands on top of his opponent, making it more believable. I'd give him something like a dragon suplex or something.

[steeps1983]

Raw is an entertainment show, the wrestling show is Smackdown. As for HITC the PPV will suck. Two weeks build, no blood, HITC overkill, too many rematches etc.

[TheMountainMan84]

With all the great tag teams in the world Santino/Kozlov vs Rhodes/McIntyre are the two on Raw? It is just sad that they can't bring in some decent teams or at least keep the ones they have together.

WWE continues to cheapen the legacy of great matches like Hell in a Cell and Money in the Bank by making them cookie cutter kiddie matches that nobody will remember or care about 3 weeks from now.

And yeah, Edge does look really off. He looks 10 years older than before the Achilles injury.

[angelofmercy1684]

I for one think it is dumb to have a PPV so close to another. The buy rates will suffer, and they only thing that can be bulit up is on going storylines. It is stupid. Can you help me pick out some ring of honor DVDs?

[MrHellface666]

Id keep it to 6 PPV's per year, give each one two months build up, use RAW and Smackdown to develop these fueds over the two months.....but, this aint going to happen...ever...fact

[ericunder29]

that was and epic fail, and you sir are a EPIC NERD

[Criminology187]

Sheamus/Orton is the HIAC match

[MisterDynamite]

I don't mind a blood-less HIAC as long as they don't stop the match midway and clean them up in case someone does get busted open.

[Adampro123]

to answer your description question.. NO! this is raw its a entertainment show. SD has the wrestling which is why i usually enjoy SD more.

agree thought the show was just ok but like it better this way than to have it all revolve around one storyline like it did most the summer.

And yeah idk what it is but since edge came back nothing he does seems to be working.things just aren't clicking.

[MisterAGrimes]

I think you should sell "It's Just Kindof There" t shirts.

[Leg3ndKilla687]

im pretty sure there only gunna do 2 hiac's.They had 3 last year cause the dx and legacy feud...but who knows

[Carnius797]

Do you have Skype

[bigjew899]

Back before 2008 there were two reasons why Hell in the Cell matches were made.

1) End a feud. This happened with Michaels vs The Undertaker in 1997 and HHH vs Chris Jericho in 2002.

2) Make a feud more intense. Examples are HHH vs Shawn Michaels in 2004 and Batista vs The Undertaker in 2006, and Brock Lesnar vs the Undertaker in 2002.

The use of blood does have something to do with it, to give the Hell in the Cell match more credibility. Take away the blood, take away the credibility.

[AmericanNohbuddy]

@bigjew899

Well HBK/HHH was the big blow off to the feud even though they did have a few matches afterwards but it wasn't a big story line.

Lesnar/Taker did end it too.

And taker/batista was 07, but that was probably a typo.

[bigjew899]

@AmericanNohbuddy

yeah thanks for correcting me. But you got the point I hope, that Hell In the Cell Matches (or ANY match that has a gimmick like that, for that matter) deserve to be taken more seriously instead of being so gimmicked up and having entire ppvs named after them. What's next, an Iron Man match ppv? Point is: WWE is making lame gimmicks out of what in the past were really significant matches.

[Carnius797]

I actually enjoyed this raw mostly - Guess im the only one

[dpistons149]

jericho is done i saw the spoilers for next raw. orton takes him out

[Carnius797]

@dpistons149 Fucking idiot.

[dpistons149]

@Carnius797 enjoy raw next week dumbfucker

[Carnius797]

@dpistons149 I would if I watched it on a regular basis, keyboard warrior.

[okusachink]

You're a complete moron. Bitching about the ppv because there isn't gonna be self-mutilation with a razor blade. Why do you even watch WWE when you aren't even a fan? It's almost like you think you have to speak about the show like you're some kind of authority figure in the wrestling industry. What a pompous ass!

[dpistons149]

@okusachink lol take it easy

[TSlay1974]

@okusachink you are welcome

[S73V3N0D0]

@TSlay1974 He has a point, you know.

[harvedogx21]

@TSlay1974 Very nice comeback lol.

[Mynamesnigel]

@okusachink wwe sheep.

[its177]

@okusachink

its cause we care about tslays opinion. we dont care about yours.

[wwetnasux]

@okusachink because a cage match without blood is like watching a porn where they don't show the cumshot. Absolutely pointless

[thegoldenhero]

@wwetnasux

no it is more like watching porn without the female taking her clothes off...

[jb0609]

@okusachink

He has the right to speak. No one is forcing you to watch his videos.

[ondalowki]

@okusachink LOL Good job

[thriller2rayne]

Would've liked a Wargames style hell in a cell match. Nexus vs Cena, Bourne, Henry, Morrison, Truth. And i'm glad the next PPV is 2 weeks away cause the matches don't need build since we are gonna get sorta the same matches. Do you want to see more build to Kane vs Taker??? Sheamus vs Orton??? Barret vs Cena??? Miz vs Bryan??? It's also good that HIAC is 2 weeks away cause the PPV after that is 3 weeks after it(Bragging rights).

[AmericanNohbuddy]

@thriller2rayne

Well having 10 guys in a hell in a cell would be too crowded. You need two rings for a war games.

[thriller2rayne]

@AmericanNohbuddy Well they wouldn't be only in the ring, they can fight around it, heck maybe go to the top. It would be an awesome match if booked right.

[AmericanNohbuddy]

@thriller2rayne

They were only inside the cage last year in each cell match. They will never fight to the top ever again, especially with the bigger cell. No way in hell should they try a bump off of that. Having one hell in a cell would be ok, but two or three just doesn't make it seem that vicious.

[thriller2rayne]

@AmericanNohbuddy I think it would if every match was different. Like the first HIAC would be Sheamus vs Orton. Second would be Taker vs Kane(different because of the styles). Then ending with the wargames match. I think they should shrink the size of the cell. It's too unneccessarily large.

[AmericanNohbuddy]

@thriller2rayne

Well they did that last year....it didn't work.

What war games match?

Well the new cell basically states they won't go on top of the cell and is better constructed.

[cctitansfan]

definately too many ppvs.if i could,just keep the big 4 and if they don't want to a king of the ring style pay per view.just make night of champions the 5th biggest show.cut elimination chamber,extreme rules,over the limit,fatal 4 way,money in the bank(even though i liked the show)hell in a cell,bragging rights aka survivor series 2.0,and tlc.that way feuds can get built and have a long enough gap to build up the show and make it mean something to make us,the fan,buy it.but vince won't do that..

[TSlay1974]

@cctitansfan They are never going to go back to 5 10 is as low as I could ever see them going. also Elimination Chamber is not going anywhere anytime soon.

[mrdarkknight]

@TSlay1974 lol.

you do kinda talk like you're vince mcmahon though, bothers me a lot. however the blood thing, ive been bitching about it for years so i agree.

also, edge is being off on purpose, he even made it clear that he's frustrated on the show. the focus is on him getting screwed by the e-GM so that he and jericho reveal him soon.

[TraciPeteyforlife]

@cctitansfan I'll agree with cutting the pay per views. I'd go lower just four. Rumble, Wrestlemaina, TLC, and elimination chamber.

[TheShezz33]

@TraciPeteyforlife You can't leave out Summer Slam. That's their 2nd biggest PPV of the year.

[Arman10701]

Yes RAW did suck as usual. Sick of the same people winning the WWE Titles and just taking turns with it. Nexus is already old, not even getting old, just already old and needa to get off my tv. More ppl needa watch Smackdown cause as of now its the best wrestling show outta Impact, Smackdown and RAW, though Impacts slowly creeping back up and becoming better.

[sinz187]

Why don't you reply to comments anymore?

[whyminervadied]

terrible RAW....enough said.

[carl0frmdavalley]

after the mix tag match it was tyler blacks first vignette

[mcgreezyclutch]

RAW was annoying on a couple of ends: Too many guests at the announce table. Hart Dynasty, Michelle McCool, the Miz and there was almost another with Wade Barrett. And is his match with John Cena going to be a HIAC match? They didn't make it clear. I fast forward through RAW now on Monday's using DVR because of football season. RAW is hard to stomach nowadays. This episode wasn't as bad as it usually is but it was kinda...there. And Morrison's win over Jericho will lead to nothing probably

[aruiz90]

I dont think the Barrett/Cena match is a HIAC

[TSlay1974]

@aruiz90 I thought they said it was maybe the said it was AT HITC I don't care unless Cena looses

[aruiz90]

@TSlay1974 on one hand Cena joining Nexus would be exciting, but they've never looked like a real threat so putting them out of their misery would be ok I guess

[richardshort2001]

@TSlay1974 another great reason to name all your PPV's after match types.

[cctitansfan]

@TSlay1974 i want cena to lose as well.he desperately needs a heel turn,but i read that nexus is gonna be done in October.i do wanna see though if they'll do a smackdown version with the season 2 nxt guys?

[CadillacL]

@aruiz90 If I heard right, it is a HITC

[aruiz90]

@CadillacL wwe.com and wiki say normal singles match

[AdoublesLdouble]

@aruiz90 ALL MAIN EVENTS ARE HIAC

[aruiz90]

@AdoublesLdouble according to both wwe.com and wikipedia it is not a HIAC

[AttitudeClassics316]

Hopefully this year's HIAC won't be booked the completely opposite way it should have been like what happened last year.

[111JFish]

FIRST
