Official Slithering Towards the Clash Raw Thread: 9/7/2020

Don’t show this footage to Trump lol

I take that back lol

Someone wishes injury on a wrestler, gets called out on how horrid that is, and then has an epic misguided meltdown in response. No need for it.

Hi, American in his 30s here. You said you hoped someone gets hurt, got called out for it, then had a mental breakdown over it. Whether a joke or not, wishing injury on anyone is not cool. Calm down and have a Coke and a ing smile.

Staying on topic of people getting hurt... seen another site said WWE released Ivars injury was cervical. Thought initially it was leg related but still hard to tell from the replay.

That’s what I was thinking 😂 anyone else without that mod title posted that and they’d be getting a warning bar or ban pretty swiftly... guess there are different standards for them though 🤦🏻‍♂️

And he only had a fractured jaw. Seems like a waste of medical accessories and resources to me.


Especially after "The Hurt Business" beat up the janitor. Who's gonna clean up all the friggin cups now?


Retribution already broke it. They also burned down the Funeral Parlor and looted and robbed The Heart Break Hotel.


And no mention of Retribution's "antics" over on CNN.

I didn't like this show. Too many "what the was the point in that?" moments for me.

I didn't mind Orton's promo, but Drew coming in an ambulance going about 1 1/2 mph looked so lame. If you're going to do that, set some stuff up that he comes plowing throwing through in a rage. Don't just have him driving in like a grandma.

The Alexander turn took longer than I wanted to. T.H.B. is still suffering from their connection to that stupid 24/7 title though. There was no need to lower these guys to THAT level.

I like Andrade, Garza and Zelina. Why does this company always have to f*ck with things that are good? Although I gotta say Zelina was not looking as good tonight as she normally does. I don't want to see them splitting up. I don't want to see them bickering. They're good together. Why can't they just run with that?

Cesaro and Nakamura were here talking about the "brand-to-brand invitational?" I missed wrestling last week, but is this brand to brand stuff is back again now?

The 24/7 restaurant ninja stuff continues the trend of that belt being the dumbest thing I see on the show every week no matter what. It's toddler age humor.

Again, I missed wrestling last week and apparently they broke up the IIconics?? F*ck is going on here? All the women's matches were terrible tonight. I say the same thing watching AEW. THEY'RE TOO SLOW. It'll never happen but I think the solution is a smaller ring for the women. 

Ivar definitely hurt himself on his dive to the floor. Looked like HE was flashing the X to the ref while he was laying there.

Orton - Lee somehow wasn't the main event? Is this the 2nd or 3rd time now that Drew has cost Lee a match against Orton?

RAW Underground is beyond stupid. They look like morons. Enough of this fake fighting sh*t. Why can't they just let the wrestlers wrestle? In movies they don't let the actors/actresses do the fight scenes because they aren't trained for that and it would look STUPID. Same thing here. And then it gets even dumber when they start using pro wrestling moves in the fake fighting. A chokeslam? Get this sh*t off my tv.

I thought at one point I was having gastrointestinal issues that were going to lead to a steaming, greasy, sh*t, but apparently it was just Retribution on my screen again. At this point I think they're just representatives of some of the 3rd party companies Vince is trying to make everyone sever ties with. They interrupt the 2 on 1 women's match that had no finish and wasn't spoken about again? Am I wrong or did I miss something there? Idiot Michael Cole is doing commentary during the match and the lights start flickering. Idiot Michael Cole just keeps calling the match. The fan screens start flickering and idiot Michael Cole just keeps calling the match. The screens all finally just go dark and Idiot Michael Cole just keeps calling the match. Go back to Smackdown ya goof. 

I enjoyed Drew McIntyre's Claymore's on Orton all night. If Orton comes back in a few weeks driving an ambulance......... I won't be surprised at all actually.

Dominik - Murphy was enjoyable. It was a good hardcore match. The sliding out of the ring sunset flip powerbomb through the table spot looked and sounded awesome. The dive looked cool. I liked the beating at the end. I wonder if him quitting will make Rollins more angry with him?

Didn't like the show overall. I still think having the talent making noise and banging on the plexiglass sounds better than this pumped in garbage. I like what they're doing 10% of the time. 50% of the time I have no idea what their thought process is, and I know what their thought process is in the remaining 40% and I think it's all kinds of stupid.

It was still good to watch wrestling again.

I didn't like the angles with Hurt biz and Drew/Orton but the main event saved things. Epic ending.

I will skip every Retribution promo and match. If I could have one early, hell one only Christmas present it would be that this angle gets dropped and never spoken of again.
