Raw 06/16/14: In Memoriam (with a side of Papa Mizanin!))

[almostbobsaget]

This week, we will honor the fallen superstars of last week's fire-sale in the 'E. Many great wrestlers were lost, some of which were never given a chance. We salute you, merciless undercard jobbers. This Bud's for you.



JTG

Drew McIntyre

Jinder Mahal

Brodus Clay

...and all the others. Rest in piece, 3MB, JTG's streak, and so on.

Papa Mizanin, do you have anything to say about this?


Oh, okay.

What about Aksana? No more Skinemax music, Mr. Mizanain.


Worst of all, Kevin Hart will be featured on Raw. Your thoughts?

Spoiler

I apologize for all you Kevin Hart fans, but I cannot stand the man ever since he was shoved down my throat during NBA All-Star weekend a few years ago.

The biggest question on everyone's mind is where will the El Torito/Hornwoggle fued go now that 3MB is no more? Tune in to Raw on Monday night to find out! Or not, they probably just won't mention it ever again.

Anyways, here's what the 'E is giving us for tomorrow night:

The “Yes!” Movement was dealt a crippling blow last Monday night when The Authority stripped Daniel Bryan of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, a prize that will now be up for grabs in a historic Ladder Match at Money in the Bank. With two more spots yet to be filled in that momentous bout, which Superstars will earn the right to vie for sports-entertainment’s richest prize?
Also, what awaits Seth Rollins, the Shield turncoat who has only raised the ire of his former “brothers” Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose since his defection? As the WWE Universe joins Raw guest star Kevin Hart from the film “Think Like a Man Too” — in theaters this Friday — what can we look forward to on this week’s show? WWE.com has five theories.


Paper Chasers

Spoiler

Bray Wyatt’s victory over Dean Ambrose on SmackDown earned The Eater of Worlds a spot in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match at Money in the Bank, joining such elite Superstars as United States Champion Sheamus, Cesaro, Alberto Del Rio and Randy Orton.
The entire locker room is buzzing about who will fill the final two spots in this historic bout for the vacant prize. Who will earn that opportunity?

Whatcha gonna do, 'brother'?

Spoiler

If anybody’s going to wipe the omnipresent smirk off Seth Rollins’ face, it’s going to be Dean Ambrose, who proclaimed on SmackDown that he’s “shutting down the Seth Rollins business for good.” Those were strong words, and that was before The Architect cost The Lunatic Fringe a WWE World Heavyweight Championship opportunity in the night’s main event.
We certainly wouldn’t want to be in Rollins’ combat boots — or whatever footwear he prefers these days — but we also wouldn’t want to be Randy Orton right now. Judging by Roman Reigns’ derisive commentary on WWE’s Apex Predator on SmackDown, there’s a Spear in Orton’s very near future. We certainly hope that week off was restful, because The Viper’s definitely in for a “case of the Mondays” when he returns to work this week on Raw.

Mystery Man

Spoiler

Deeming himself an unworthy partner for his brother Goldust, Cody Rhodes has been on a quest to find the ideal teammate for his face-painted sibling. Thus far, results have been, well, not very good, as The Bizarre One has yet to find tag team success alongside such Cody-approved associates as Sin Cara, Kofi Kingston and R-Truth.
Last Monday night, Cody told his older brother that he’s found the perfect partner that will “magnify the magnificence that is Goldust.” Rhodes also said this new teammate would be someone Goldust had never seen before. Are we about to witness the emergence of a new Superstar on Raw?

Spoiler

Spoiler Alert, it's probably the Miz.

Bo-Nanza

Spoiler

Even if you don’t buy into the cheesy smile or the “motivational” sound bites, you can’t deny that Bo Dallas is a formidable in-ring competitor. At 7-0 (or 7-Bo), Dallas seemingly can’t be beat. Perhaps the eternal optimist is onto something.
Get inspired by these Bo Dallas posters
Of course, as many “Bo-Lievers” as there are out there, there are legions of WWE Universe members who would like that self-satisfied grin wiped right off Dallas’ face. Yet, Bo’s streak prevails, prompting many of us to ask, “Who’s next?” Let’s just hope he doesn’t start calling himself “Boldberg.”

Buzzards circle the WWE Tag Team Titles

Spoiler

By earning a non-title victory over The Usos on the June 2 edition of Raw, Erick Rowan & Luke Harper made it clear they’re in the hunt for the WWE Tag Team Championship, intensifying The Wyatt Family’s already heated rivalry with Jimmy & Jey.
Last week, the warring teams traded singles victories, with Jimmy defeating Harper on WWE Main Event and Rowan besting Jey on SmackDown. Now, as announced exclusively on WWE.com, Bray Wyatt’s sinister followers prepare to challenge The Usos for the WWE Tag Team Titles at Money in the Bank. Can the brothers overcome the imminent challenge of these swamp monsters?
Tune in to Raw this Monday at 8/7 CT on USA Network, and be sure to tune in to WWE Network for Raw Pre-Show at 7:30 ET and Backstage Pass immediately following the show!

The Mystery Man is obviously Sting, since he's never been in WWE, so Goldust would have never seen him before.


Realistically, probably Sandow dressed as LeBron, since Goldust hasn't seen LeBron either.

More likely Stung mark.

I'll be in attendance tomorrow evening along with the wife, who I have successfully converted into a full-blown wrestling fan over the last 18 months on the default camera angle, I'll be on the far right side of the screen about 12 rows up. Maybe I'll make a OS sign or something.

Goldust...Meet the Boogyman!

[SoundTheAlarm]

Here's what to be on the lookout for guys! On the default camera angle I will be on the far right hand side about 12 rows up.

Thought the sign was funny because of the discussion we had a few weeks ago about whether or not we were smarks or marks.

I think you should bring the Dora the Explorer placemat or coloring book or whatever it is instead.

Haha yeah that belongs to my 3 year old daughter who is also a huge wrestling fan as well. She's very jealous that she can't go... I told her she can look for us on TV though. Here's her side of the sign that she decorated.
