[quote="Old_Man_Tai":1nkn40uu]Tai's 5 thoughts from Raw

1. So, now the RAW has shown what the Survivor Series match will be, I believe I owe Harrier 5 bucks.
Granted, it wasn't with the Real American's, but I wasn't expecting The Wyatts to be teaming up with anybody period.
That being said, I was still right in my guess that The Shield, Goldust, and Rhodes would be involved.

2. Holy Crap, has Ryback fallen to the wayside or what? Remember last year when we all thought he was gonna win the title off Punk, and win the Royal Rumble, and earlier this year, we thought he would beat Mark Henry and then beat Cena for the title? I think the only win Ryback's had on PPV all damn year was against Chris Jericho at Money in the Bank. Now Heyman's dumped the guy and he's losing to R-Truth. His 15 minutes of fame are up. Expect to see him fired or in development, or a far shittier gimmick, by this time next year.

3. So, does Kane being Director of Operations and being the fill in guy for HHH and Stephanie give him any REAL power? Cause when fucking Brad Maddox is giving you shit, ALL NIGHT, and you don't/can't do anything about it, it really makes you look like a little bitch.

4. So....is Punk vs Heyman officially over now? Cause, I mean, it was fun, I enjoyed it, LOVED the promos....but I think it's run its course now. Though I am a little letdown that we never did get a proper one on one beatdown match, like Brock did when he faced Heyman in a steel cage on Smackdown 10 years ago.......Goddamn that makes me feel old.

5.Hopefully Survivor Series will be the end of Alberto Del Rio's main event push and he can go down to fighting for the IC title. If John Cena is being handed the WHC in order to use his main event credibility to elevate it, there's no reason why Del Rio can't use his main event credibility to do the same thing for the IC title, which has fallen to European Championship level thanks to Curtis Axel. (Cmon, the guy has been in the main event of PPV's, beaten guys like Punk and Cena, and won the WHC and WWE Championship multiple times each, and he CAN work and HAS given great matches...just very very rarely on Raw or Smackdown. Point is, he counts)

See, I told you so <img src=

" title="Wink" /> . WWE gives a shit about Survivor Series credibilty and loose ends, some nights before the event the magic happens and people are paired for little or no reason at all. Just take a look at last years SS...^^

Ryback is probably finally done with Heyman droping him and seems to be in line for repackaging(again). But he was already done with the cryback gimmick after losing to the Miz of all people, which I personally found hillarious. Ironically now as he's halfway bearable and his stupid marching and pandering has stopped. So he's Big Zeke'd now, except that he wasn`t IC champ. Fitting what an user on another board wrote when Chris Hero was released in regard to Ryback:
"So they give a Chris Hero 20 months to refine his skills for the WWE style, but this slack jawed mutant is 96 months in development and still can only barely perform"
I legit laughed at this.^^

Kane is the fifth wheel in the ME, business as usual. I guess he will either be phased out from full time active competition soon to become a politician or return to Monster Kane, so this will solve itself as usual with WWE.

Laughed as the Shield told Orton that they don`t give a shit about his problems or himself. I am an Orton fan, but that was great in a fucked up way. Not enough that Triple H tells everybody that Bryan is a Midget and a Troll, now it`s Orton`s turn to get belittled by basically telling everybody that the Shield works for HHH only and Orton just holds a belt until HHH decides who gets it next. I do't get that approach, but maybe it pays some dividends later?

I second the idea of del Rio in the IC scene. The guy is a very good wrestler and should help elevate the IC belt by holding it. But guess what, vince won`t give up on him in the ME scene any time and will shove him down everyones throats until del rio quits or retires.

I am also excited for a possible Hogan return! Not in the ring of course, but as Hogan is the GOAT there must be a place for him in WWE, maybe as general manager or the manager of the next big face.

[quote="FlameofHope":4v9po01u]So I had the best idea last night while watching raw

survivor series match: the shield and the wyatts vs bryan, goldust, cody rhodes, the usos, and one other filler face, maybe punk but not actually punk because he'll probably have ANOTHER match against heyman.

This is me shocked at how right i was, minus the fact that punk v heyman is over.

So WWE just announced on the website that it will be Punk/Bryan vs Rowan/Harper at Survivor series, leaving the traditional survivor series match up in the air with just a week to go before the PPV.

I miss when matches were made like, fucking a month before the PPV so that they had proper build up time.

Like my favorite Traditional SS Elimination match, Team Austin vs Team Bischoff from the very awesome SS 2003

For now, I'm guessing Shield and Kane vs Rhodes/Uso's, or Shield getting a tag title shot and no Tradional SS match this year.

On a far more depressing note, Tomorrow, the 13th, will be the 8th year since the day of Eddie Guerrero's passing.

Needless to say, he's still missed.

So I just saw a promo for Raw tomorrow being country music based. I am disappoint.

by FlameofHope Tue Nov 19, 2013 12:58 pm

Pretty good Raw last night despite the country segments. When I heard Big E enter with a new theme i figured he was going to win (at least I think it was a new theme, lol). Not sure how to feel about a traditional survivor series diva match, but at least Rey Mysterio is back.

by Harrier Wed Nov 20, 2013 7:59 pm

Could have been worse than a country theme. WWE can afford to do such a RAW once or twice a year. I also like Smackdown most of the time, and the spoilers from this week SD look especially good with Michael Hayes getting the JR punishment.

And finally, Bug E is IC champ. I sure hope he gets to do something with the belt instead of just being a guy that carries a prop.

by Tatyina Wed Nov 20, 2013 8:13 pm

The belt will really accentuate his hot rack.

Also, John Cena's guest hosting Sportsnation right now and dammit if I don't like him outside of wrestling. >.<

I actually really like the guy in general but the way wwe traits him and his personal is just...

Ugggggghhbbbbhhsxbnrchhdgjes <img src=

Outside of the ring, he's a great guy. Hell, you don't get to make 300 Make A Wishes if your not a good guy in real life.

It's just that WWE is comfy booking him the way they book him and don't see a need to change.

by Harrier Mon Nov 25, 2013 4:33 pm

After SS is over now, I am not overly thrilled to see where WWE will head. Orton vs Cena? Really? I see a nightmare come though, Cena defeats the new corporation in a handicap match...

Ryback made to look like a fool, again. Maybe he`s now in the position I'd like to see him in, midcard with some bully big guy segments. Could live with that instead of Great Khali or santino segment.

Big E!^^

Good Survivor Series matches, always love them.

MOTN, (how unexpected^^) Punk/Bryan vs Wyatts.

Cena wins lol, nothing to write home about.
