WWE: Monday Night Raw 147 - RIP Shinsuke Nakamura's jacket

[M.C.G. 31]

Watching Balor's entrance in NXT is a way different feel than watching it tonight.

 

[The Gongshow]

Rraaaaaaaaaaawr

 

[iamjs]

Rawr!

I've never got to witness Taker's entrance live but people have said that it gives them goosebumps when they're in the arena. I don't think Finn's is there just yet. Don't get me wrong, Finn is one of my favorite wrestlers right now, but I they need to tweak the entrance a bit. I do enjoy the fact though that it is a unique entrance on its own.

Let's try to keep in mind that we are comparing a man who has done the same entrance since 1990 to a man who just did his big entrance for the first time on the main roster.

Rawr!

 

[The Gongshow]

I am really restraining myself from joining in on the Balor talk

Don't make me open a can of whoop ass

I got your back if you do

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Well you should take that up with the man who helped Balor develop the demon entrance.

That would be the Undertaker, btw.

If I ever see him at an airport I'll let him know.

They usually run until 11:15

Is this going to be a 35 minute segment?

 

[Blueblood9]

I liked the entrance 1st time I've ever seen it. Putting it on raw or not is 6 1 way half dozen the other.

There are alot of people like myself that have never seen it or don't know what it's all about so it's nice to know what it is before then. I'm not watching summerslam just to watch an entrance.

True. As someone mentioned above though, it is different from watching it on NXT than it is on RAW. I think the intimate atmosphere of NXT gives it more of an allure.

Also, I wasn't aware that Lana's theme song begins where Rusev's ends.

[NewAgeOutlaw]

If Reigns embarasses Lana, beats Rusev on Raw, then beats him at Summerslam then I'm rage quitting raw.

 

[The Gongshow]

It has been awesome to see Rusev as the main star of RAW two weeks in a row

He has done it and it was awesome in plenty of big arenas. It was great in Brooklyn last year, and I loved the Jack the Ripper one in London. Chainsaw was meh.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

So they keep making rusev use the "greatest US champion ever" line and then they go ahead and show that Ambrose has held the US title for over a year.

el oh el

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

This should really be a Lana on a pole or forklift match.

 

[GarbageGoal]

Lesnar or at least Heyman will be on, no?

 

[Cor]

What could happen after this?

This should have been a no decision brawl.

If they are giving us a 25-30 minute match.... lol

 

[GKJ]

Is this really getting 35 minutes?

Rusev should defend himself and say that grease ball from the alley only defended the title like 5 times in the 351 days.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Lesnar or at least Heyman will be on, no?

They already were.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I wasn't a fan of the camera during Finn's entrance. There needs to be a crowd shot in there. Part of what makes it so great is the fans joining in when he does the arm raise.

Those fan touches make these entrances so great. Bray's fireflies is similar. The entrance is so good because of crowd interaction.

For Taker one of the best parts was that fans back in the day would all pull out lighters (eventually phones). I remember seeing it live years and years ago and that combined with everything else was just chilling. Impossible to not mark for it.

2 Whopper meals for 10 bucks?

and they wonder why there is an obesity epidemic in the US


The Canadian Club would never stand for that in Canada

 

[Emperoreddy]

How did Roman injure his ribs with a flak jacket on?

Kevin Dunn piping in those "Roman" chants
