I mean going into the Hall of Fame doesn't mean you can't have another run or have more matches.

 

[Angryfantasyfan]

I don't get how people trash Sasha's mic skills, I thought she was great tonight.

 

[Hotwire]

This is the corniest segment I've seen in a long time!

 

[Warhammer]

That segment was glorious. It was worth 11 months of anticipation.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I mean going into the Hall of Fame doesn't mean you can't have another run or have more matches.

Yep. WM will be Angle's third televised match since he went into the Hall of Fame last year.

 

[Doug_Moore]

They finally added WCW Thunder on The Network!

 

[Dr. Evil]

That segment was glorious. It was worth 11 months of anticipation.

Let's see:

- Vanguard 1 with the hologram of Broken Matt
- Bray chasing Matt through the buried symbols of the past
- The Lawmower
- Pyro!
- Skarsgard!
- The Lake of Reincarnation
- Brother Nero

Ultimate Deletion was a lot tamer than all the Deletion stuff in TNA. It was cool in TNA because they had plenty of freedom. In WWE, the buck stops with Vince MeekMahan, Stephanie, and Triple H.

Congrats to Mark Henry on the WWE Hall of Fame induction.

 

[DOBSON10]

Watching "Ultimate Deletion" honestly just made me feel sorry for Bray Wyatt. Guys got talent in the ring and on the mic, and he's stuck running around in the woods with this washed up moron making sheep noises and talking to lawnmowers. That was honestly embarrassing.

So is it just me or is it clear that Elias is going to be Braun's partner after Angle is forced to choose? If I were the Braun character I'd stick it to Angle by bringing Ellsworth back and saying that's his partner. Strowman would view Ellsworth as a total non-factor.

 

[DOBSON10]

She's one of the few main eventers who WWE is properly booking these days. Her recent storylines with Asuka and Nia have been very well done.

I think the Nia angle has been OK, but the Asuka angle just makes your Champ look weak, but then again, the entire Asuka program makes all the women in the Division look weak, which I've been bored with for awhile now. The whole Division will be better off when Asuka's streak ends and they can have Asuka, Charlotte, Alexa, Sasha, Nia, Ronda, Bayley and Becky all having big matches in a battle for the two belts, IMO.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Got a serious question:

- Should we treat the WWE like a TV Show or a movie? Because it seems to me if we think an episode of a regular TV Show we watch sucks, it doesn't get as much criticism as WWE. When WWE sucks, people wish the WWE goes away and there is venom and hatred. When a particular episode of a TV series or a particular movie in a long running franchise (ie. The MCU) sucks, the criticism is not as venomous as it is towards WWE. So why is that? Why do we treat WWE worse than we do any normal TV show or movie? I don't get it.

WWE does something bad: "They should die and go away."
The MCU does something not every agrees with: "They'll fix it and it will get better because of what they had done prior."

That is what I get from wrestling fans every week. They destroy and bash the WWE with hatred, vile and vitriol and yet when a TV show or a movie franchise does something they most people don't agree with, those same people who bash the WWE with sheer hatred go "okay, that wasn't good, but I am confident it will get better."

 

[Wheels]

I kinda enjoyed RAW so l might be mellowing out.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I didn't think that Ultimate Deletion was terrible. It wasn't as good as the TNA stuff, but I thought it was a lot of fun.

Oh and Mark Henry was very deserving of a WWE Hall of Fame Induction. Sure he could have been booked better, but he never complained about how he was booked and seemed very happy with his spot in the WWE and never wanted to leave for another promotion. I do hope this means that we'll see Sexual Chocolate Mark Henry in 2K19. There will be some wigs split at the Hall of Fame. Also he discovered Braun. I have Mark in my top five favorite big wrestlers of all time behind Andre, Braun and Bam Bam. I got him ahead of Lars Sullivan because Lars is still fresh and hasn't appeared on the main roster.

 

[TheVileOne]

Yep. WM will be Angle's third televised match since he went into the Hall of Fame last year.

I guess Batista feels like he will only go in after he's ready to finally call it quits.

But I mean, I don't get why he wants to have another run. The dude's not The Rock, but he's managed to put together a successful film career. He's getting to work with big stars on big movies and not B-movie trash, which he does a tad bit of, but he's got to stay busy in-between blockbusters.

I mean, if he really wanted to stay in 2014, he could've.

 

[vantheman77]

I hope The Rock inducts Mark Henry into the WWE Hall of Fame.

So far most of the members of the Nation of Domination are in the HoF - Rock, Farooq, Godfather, and soon Mark Henry. D-Lo Brown is the only not in.

 

[S. Grundy]

Ultimate Deletion was lacking the gives no ****s, go for broke attitude of the TNA Deletions. WWE was playing it too safe, Cole burying it before hand didn't help.

 

[Hotwire]

I hope The Rock inducts Mark Henry into the WWE Hall of Fame.

So far most of the members of the Nation of Domination are in the HoF - Rock, Farooq, Godfather, and soon Mark Henry. D-Lo Brown is the only not in.

I wouldn't hold my breath for D-Lo.

So is it just me or is it clear that Elias is going to be Braun's partner after Angle is forced to choose? If I were the Braun character I'd stick it to Angle by bringing Ellsworth back and saying that's his partner. Strowman would view Ellsworth as a total non-factor.

Hornswoggle.




Or, more seriously, bring up someone from NXT.

 

[TheFuture]

Absolutely no problem with Henry getting inducted. He improved so much against all odds as well. If it weren't for injuries I've no doubt he'd of had some serious runs.

 

[javonstokess]

Caught bits and pieces of last night's RAW.

Congrats, WWE, you finally got people to root for Roman. Wonder how long that lasts...

The whole Bayley/Sasha feud, IMO, makes Bayley look like the heel more than Sasha. I mean, a wrestler being upset that another wrestler tried to win a "Everyone for themselves" match is ridiculous.

Braun should have been in the Main Event.

John Cena, when he wants to, can KILL IT on the mic. He's really making the most out of this rushed feud with Taker.

Alexis is talented & beautiful, but man, her reign as champ can't come fast enough. Not looking forward to Jax as champ either. Same with Asuka.

The Final Deletion was just weird. I t

 

[Wheels]

I wouldn't hold my breath for D-Lo.

D-Lo is awesome so I hope he gets in. Maybe just put The Nation in there. The man is the best European Champion ever and the chest protector gimmick was brilliant. That should be worth something.

 

[X Knight]

having never seen any of the Broken Hardy stuff in TNA, the Woken Hardy compound stuff last night was...........interesting...........yeah.........

 

[Dr. Evil]

I hope The Rock inducts Mark Henry into the WWE Hall of Fame.

So far most of the members of the Nation of Domination are in the HoF - Rock, Farooq, Godfather, and soon Mark Henry. D-Lo Brown is the only not in.

I doubt the Rock shows up WrestleMania Weekend. He'll be too busy with Hollywood. I am one of those who thinks he'll never wrestle again, but I also think he'll make an appearance here or there when he has time, which he does not. I would think he knows Ronda is in the WWE, but I don't think he's kept in touch with the product at all outside of that.

 

[Doug_Moore]

Cole burying it before hand didn't help.

He was just being honest.
