OOfficial Discussion Thread for: RAW (May 15, 2017)
Tonight on RAW: after two kinda strange, meandering (but mostly entertaining enough) weeks of TV -- most all of it due to uncertainty about
Braun Strowman's injury status -- WWE now has all the information they need to cement the line-up for Extreme Rules in June...
Strowman is out until SummerSlam (yes, WWE's revelation of the announcement says "6 months," but, uhhhh, it also describes his injury as "a
shattered elbow," which is NOT a legitimate Professional Medical Personnel's diagnosis, if you catch my drift)... for house shows, Bray Wyatt
is sliding into Strowman's matches against Roman Reigns, but that's just a stop gap... a more thorough re-shuffling should begin tonight,
in order to serve up a clear-cut #1 Contender to Brock Lesnar's WWEU Title at "Great Balls of Fire," before Strowman gets his shot at SS...
it'll probably come down to Seth Rollins or Finn Balor...
Balor may get an especially big bump tonight, but WWE had already planned on making him a big part of tonight's show to boost interest in the
new "WWE 24" special the debuts tonight on the Network.... Rollins only has so much more left he can do with Samoa Joe (a feud that could pretty
much instantly become the main event for Extreme Rules), though, so he's absolutely as valid, despite whatever happens as a one week blip
tonight...
We know for sure that the IC Title will be on the line tonight, with Dean Ambrose defending against Miz... all signs were pointing to Miz winning
before this necessary reshuffle, but who knows now? Reigns is effectively without a major story hook, so going after the IC Title until such time as
Strowman returns is supposedly on the table.... now, ask yourself: given recent events and fan reactions, which would be more fun? Reigns vs. Miz
(with the fans siding with Miz to an alarming degree)? Or Reigns vs. Ambrose (with Reigns' boos able to be explained away by the popularity of
his opponent, and the fact that Reigns is throwing his friendship with Dean out the door to advance his own career)? I kind like #2, but we'll
see...
The Hardys vs. Sheamus/Cesaro tag title feud will be serviced tonight, with a Sheamus vs. Jeff singles match.... the Cruiserweight Title picture will
be addressed, as champion Neville attempts to keep threading that needle with his puppet TJ Perkins, up against #1 Contender Austin Aries and Jack
Gallagher... Alexa Bliss should continue to have the back-up of Nia Jax, as she prepares to defend the Women's Title against Bayley; but only
because Jax wants the next title shot after that, which has Alexa rather freaked out....
There is also an approximately 99.9999999% chance that tonight sees advancement of the slowly percolating Kurt Angle vs. Stephanie McMahon feud....
last week, Angle named Ambrose as interim GM of RAW, but Steph named Miz.... no doubt, there are gonna be some serious issues popping up between GM
Kurt and Commish Steph, and it's only a matter of time before WWE breaks the seal by having Steph return to TV on a regular basis.... their next
major dispute could very well be exploited to help sort out the top of the card in Strowman's absence; each could pick a #1 Contender to Lesnar,
who would act as proxies for the power struggle, at least to begin with.... [imagine the nuclear heat Reigns could get if all of a sudden, he's
Steph's favorite boy toy; he could act confused and all by it, but no way he turns down the shot, right?]
Anyway, I digress.... some big matches, maybe even a title match, on tap tonight, plus the general vibe of WWE sorting things out now that they know
for sure we're moving forward without Strowman for a couple months.... should be interesting-ish!
That is all. End communication.
The flOOr is yours, OO Nation. Don't wait till after 11pm to post, either. Pre-show previewing and prognosticating is certainly welcome.
So discuss, debate, and rate!
ETA: Who is the Irish Make-A-Wish kid in the ring with Roman?

Later in the night, Balor proceeds to pop up backstage and hurl a copy of Killer Instinct at Roman before running off.
You did it, Nibbles. Now chew through my ball sack.

Way too bring down the rOOm, Rick.
Soooo it's Seth, Joe, Finn, Bray, and Brocktoon facing off for number one contendership at Extreme Rules? I'm perfectly fine with that.
I'm not against having Brock off tv with the Universal title so long as they make it a big deal when it's defended. Having a high profile
match to determine Brock's opponent does just that. Even if it is a foreBOOed conclusion, count me in for Extreme Rules.

It was a toss-up to decide if it was a botched win because Alicia nearly killed her for real, or if this is the beginning of Sasha's long
overdue drift to the dark side. As for Alicia, specifically those legs and dat ass?
You know, everyone says it's not supposed to make sense, like that's the whole point, dude. And I'm just saying, you know,
that's like an excuse for lazy storytelling. Just don't sell me shite and tell me it's gold, all right? I might be stoned, but
I'm not high. You know what I mean?

Is Guitar Hero any good? I feel like another round of Emmalina-esque "they'll officially debut only after we've teased their arrival for
officially all of eternity" stuff is just setting us up for another dud. Although I guess his gimmick has been this so far, so I'd assume
there's no Default Mode to reset to. Or he suddenly begins playing metal instead to get people more excited. And change his name to
Pees'lubn Andistan'dhin. Now I'm envisioning half the roster suddenly converting over to Ace Attorney-themed gimmicks.

Y'know, I've always wanted to play the Ace Attorney games, but never had the proper systems to do so. If they released them for mobile
phone? I'd be there on a bear.
That's really all I have to add right now. Oh. Um. Guitar dude is funny. There. I'm back on topic now?
ETA: Apparently they DID do the Phoenix Wrights... for iOS. Fuckers. Why iOS gotta be treated like RAM, and Android gets the SDLive! treatment?
Moar Editzz: Well I'll be good-goded. They -did- release them for the android ecosystem. Ignore everything I've written above, if
you weren't already ignoring everything I write in general.
We now return you to wrasslin' bOOard things!
But Wait There's More!! Final Edit: Goddammit! The "original trilogy" isn't actually ON the Googlestore, despite the internet telling
me it was supposed to be there. Just in case anybody else was going to looking for the downloads later, the only thing on the Googlestore is
Game Four of the series, Apollo Something.

Weird, I thought the HD trilogy re-release was actually available. Jerks! I guess buy a regular and/or New 3DS or an iPhone! SIMPLE! And Apollo
Justice was a solid addition.
Oh, and Roman did something I guess.

No no no, Nine-Tails Vale didn't look like THAT. Pffffffffft. Amusingly, the case that location factored into involved a masked wrestler.

Buy a what? I could've sworn I heard "download an emulator and pirate some Janweeb-certified
legal action."
Yes, I have found something to do while Roman Vs Finn matches are busy not holding my attention. Internet, I love your piratey bays.

Rather than throw a smark tantrum over Roman getting his win back over Finn, I'll just say that I'm currently downloading the Phoenix
Wright trilogy to my iPhone. Also, is this a good time for me to gush over Stardew Valley? Because I can totally gush over Stardew Valley.*

games that will steal your life, and then your soul.

Also, THANK YOU, APOLLO. I like Enzo and his gimmick but it's much more fun to see him get nailed for doing something stupid than it is to watch
him in a match.

Nah, that's all perfectly normal. Trust me! I'm a doctor.
I guess Apollo Crewstice is deciding to follow in TJP's footsteps and allow his heel mentor to heel him up to the heelest. I did enjoy his brief
mockery of Enzo's Seizure Shuffle.
