I'm all for ring gear if they've the attitudes to match

It's just empty fanservice if there's not an actual mindset change though

And you want them to blow through that in a week? Yes. Make the whole show nothing but sneak attack entrances, backstage vignettes with grainy footage, with matches against the Balor Club and the Bar and ...nope! Nothing for next week to build off of.

I mean, it IS empty fanservice, but it's better than anything we'd get out of them barring a Roman or Dean heel turn. If you're going to bother making them all faces, and all in the same brand, then this is what should be done. Things could be worse. They could be where Finn Balor is right now...

This would legitimately be pretty funny

"WE HEARD YOU LIEK DA SHIELD HEAR IS ALL DERE STUFF IN OEN NITE"

very WWE.

Oh Jesus Christ, they're using Roman's theme with the Shield opening.

Fuck this, I'm out.

That's a joke right

A joke as in "Fuck this, I'm out" or a joke as in "They're using Roman's theme with Shield's entrance."?
---

Isn't Roman's theme just The Shield theme without Sierra Hotel India Echo Lima Delta at the beginning.
---

It's actually in a different key and with less instrumentation.
---

Like I guess my confusion is whether you're making some silly joke, or you're legitimately weebing out over some minor difference between Roman's theme with Sierra Hotel at the beginning and the Shield theme.

weebing

This isn't related to Asuka or Nakamura.

No, they're different. Not enough for some people to bothered by it but enough that I didn't like the changes to it.

Shield fanboys are closer to acting like weeaboo nerds than Nakamura or Asuka fans are. No mistake here tbqh.
---

Yeah. It's Roman's theme with the Shield stuff. So what?

Just let me have my joke :(
---

I mean I don't even know what there is to be mad about there

If The Shield had existed that long, any subtle changes to Roman's theme would've went into the Shield theme, guaranteed. Themes evolve over time.
---

And it's a joke in the sense that I'm gonna say it completely ruins it for me, but it's still disappointing.
---

Themes evolve over time.

Do they? Cause I'm pretty sure there's a lot of guys in the WWE rocking the exact same themes for 5+ years at this point.
---

Most of the time there are very small differences put into themes every few years. It's why Undertaker technically has like 20 themes even though you only remember like 5.
---

And the best is still the Final Boss theme during the Attitude Era
---

Hell yes it is
---

Also not gonna lie: glad Seth is wearing gloves again. I always thought it looked a little off when he dropped the gloves from his look post-knee injury. Mostly cause the wrist bands he replaced them with fall off during every fucking match he's in nowadays.
---

I hope Braun wins and the fifth team member is Bo sitting on Axel's shoulders in a large trenchcoat.

No, the fifth member is Axelmania!

To be revealed when Shield pulls off the trenchcoat!

They think they know what to expect

They get Axelmania instead

The fifth man is Bo Dallas in a Captain America costume.
---

The 5th man is Robbie E with THE LIST
---

Wait, it's so simple

The fifth member is Ellsworth

Dean's TLC Kryptonite

It instantly becomes a 5 on 2
---

I'm amused that part 4 of Bray Wyatt and Finn Balor doesn't even feature either of them
---

I'm amused they think this qualifies as beneficial for either guy. They destroyed my love for the Wyatt character, and it was through ZERO fault of his own.

I mean, maybe he has more free reign than others in some respects, but I doubt he is this dumb.

...Really?

I've actually canceled my Network subscription since the only time I even watch PPVs anymore is when my buddy asks me over. But holy crap, that turns me off so hard from not only the PPV, but WWE as a whole.

Are we really going to have squeaky voice Bray Wyatt with pantyhose on his head against pumpkin Demon Balor?
---

Hahahahahaha

Orange Darth Maul vs Pantyhose Chewbacca

needed a match with CAWs to promote 2K18
---

BAH GAWD THAT'S GOTTA BE KANE!!!!!

omg
---

Does this mean he lost the election? :-(
---

from my understanding the vote isn't until next month
---

Kane had a remixed theme? Makes me wish I hadn't skipped the ending at least. Then again, it was Reigns/Strowman 10 or so. I probably wasn't missing much. I'll hear it on Sunday. I hope my seat is close to where Shield shows up. They always come out on that side. I fear my tickets are too far back in the corner section though.

Do I really want to know just how awful the Bray/Finn stuff is? Hearing about it is making me cringe. Hearing more and more just hurts. I wonder if I should take a piss/concession stand break during that or Enzo/Kalisto.
---

Wasn't Kane's previous theme a remix, or at least a mixture of his original theme and his last theme prior to it?
---

That's what I thought. He had something for years after the Slow Chemical song (which he should have never dropped). I guess someone said something about a different theme than that one. Maybe not having fire scrambled people's ears in reverse Kane logic. Kane without fire is just wrong.
---

Well I guess it's pretty obvious what the Survivor Series match is gonna be
---

It feels kinda like they forgot to add the traditional TLC gimmick matches to TLC this year
---

almost like they realized they're almost always bad

unless they do it on the preshow
---

More shameless TEW plugging. Tis the season.

https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/75887766

Just want anyone interested in seeing what Lopen fantasy booking looks like to know this exists. One time plug.

Should be easier to follow than some TEW topics as I'm going to try to sync with the on air product and keep the same roster to avoid a "who the hell is on this show again" disconnect. I don't exactly promise realism in spite of trying to maintain an identical roster but hopefully it'll entertain someone.

The preshow is Fox vs Banks.

Raw was really good. The Sheild vs Miz and friends is getting fun. Old school Shield got me hyped. Roman is being the roman he needs to be. Everyone on Miz's side had fun character development. I actually love what they are doing with Enzo. Him being this loud mouth mob boss is great.

Probably best Raw in a good while
---

So who eats a spear from Roman to lose the 5 on 3, Miz or Kane? I can't see them making such a big deal out of the Shield reunion and doing something that big only to have them lose, even when the odds are "stacked against them."
