"Sometimes playing with fire can burn you"

I feel like this can be read as Rusev's response to WWE's response to his real life engagement to Lana.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

How about the fact that they used Flair just to put over Reigns and call him his "main man"? Why do they still think Roman will get over by mere association with wrestlers more popular than himself?

Didn't work with Rock
Didn't work with Bryan
Didn't work with Heyman
Won't work with Flair

I can't believe they haven't learned their lesson. They want so desperately for Reigns to get over as a top guy but they are doing the same things that killed him during the road to wrestlemania. He's got "boring" and "what" chants 2 weeks in a row now during his promos. Does WWE not see that as a sign that they need to re-think their strategy with this guy?

To be honest, I don't see how they could salvage him at this point. Fans have been turned off by the way he has been presented for over a year now. It would take perfect booking. All I know for sure is he's not going to get over because Ric Flair comes out and tells everybody that he is his buddy.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

heh the graphic for the main event has reigns in the center and rollins the champ barely seen in the corner

another week of shit commentary

 

[bruins309]

I'm pretty sure the only thing me and Brock Lesnar have in common is the passion for grilling while having a rye whiskey and not being able to see your neighbors. So we're kindred spirits in that regard.

 

[BonMorrison]

... so how was Raw?

#datmondaydoe

 

[Sheppy]

Pretty much skimmed through it.

I'm f***ing tired of tag matches/6 man tag matches. Jesus Christ.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Someone else can post the HIAC GDT. It's not even worth the time lol.

 

[Sarcastic]

Man Trudeau looked real good, happy he went over and Harper did the job for him.

Just another squash match.

 

[S A W F T*]

Did all of you Canadians who voted for Trudeau also have to write an apology letter to Harper?

Would be the Canadian thing to do.

 

[GindyDraws]

Can't wait to see the ratings for this show. ALCS, MNF, & The Force Awakens trailer all had to play a part alongbwith WWE's stagnant programming.

Blue Jays started at the same time too, for all the Jays fans (ie, lots of Canadians)

I really can't wait for these ratings

 

[NYGBleedBlueNYR]

What happened with Luke Harper? I ffwd thru the show cuz I had to catch a plane.

 

[BonMorrison]

Is it true that Harper has heat on him because of Jericho posting that Instagram photo?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

I am 10 minutes in the Stone Cold podcast with Brock and I am bored to death.

Hunting, farming, pick up trucks, steak and what they drink? Those hillbillies are boring as f***. Hopefully they get into some wrestling suff at some point...

 

[Dr Pepper]

The one where everyone's wearing the same shirt and acting out of kayfabe?

 

[Sarcastic]

Is it true that Harper has heat on him because of Jericho posting that Instagram photo?

No he has heat because he lost last night. The people in management aren't sure who to replace him with though.

 

[Paris in Flames]

I don't know how you could get made at Harper for something Jericho did. Bray/Reigns were in the picture too so shouldn't there be punishment across the board?

...though it's obviously harder to punish Bray/Reigns I guess. Considering Y2J seems to be a big fan of Bray as a wrestler and character...seems he doesn't really care about protecting his schtick.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

but bray and reigns are unscathed? seems pretty typical WWE selective punishment/reasoning

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Randy Orton has a legit shoulder injury and is going to get an MRI to see if he needs surgery.


Luke Harper isn't even booked for Smackdown tonight... oh, WWE.

 

[Emperoreddy]

So Orton is indeed hurt

No word on what happened to Luke but he isn't hurt. Either a personal issue or is being punished.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Whoever runs this account is probably just like us:

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Well, they got a rise in viewership but it's so minuscule...

Hour 1: 3.6 million.
Hour 2: 3.347 million.
Hour 3: 3.123 million.

Average: 3.356 million.

I highly doubt they're going to crack 2.45 rating, which is what I predicted they wouldn't do about two weeks ago. And as expected, viewership dropped like a rock as the show went on. So... all those legends, and all they can do is 3.6 million viewers in the opening hour. f***ing hilarious.

Next week is going to be funny.

Last week: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showpost.php?p=107947657&postcount=181

Good job, WWE

 

[S A W F T*]

It's happening...

Hour 1: 3.518 mil.
Hour 2: 3.254 mil.
Hour 3: 3.082 mil.

Average: 3.284 mil.

Quoting last week's numbers so it's easier to compare. Wow that's bad.

Undertaker, Austin, HBK, Flair and Lesnar. They couldn't even get a full 100k bump in the average. Oh man, this is fantastic.
