Local Men Ruin Post-Mania Raw

[Deleted]

Seriously, that's how that Raw ends? Seriously? Seriously?

Man, I don't have a lot of money to spare but I'd be willing to start selling stuff so I could donate if someone started a Kane and Big Show retirement fund.

[BorneAgain]

Its a telling sign that with so much new talent debuting, new directions for talent, and an overall new feel, that Local Men in the main event against Roman Reigns is the big thing considered worthy of continuing.

[Some Guy]

Honestly, Big Show still has some use but not in the main event right now. Kane is just f***ing dreadful, man. There is absolutely nothing remotely good about him anymore.

[northernmonkey]

These 2 guys in the main event every f***ing week, needs to stop completely right now. Zzzzz

[Instant Classic]

Big Show still can be cool, but that Kane guy.....

[Mozenrath]

Heels wrestled faces. More at 11.

Seriously, though, I do hope that this is a blow off of sorts, because everyone involved has other shit they could or should be doing, but let's not act like this is Trump vs Rosie.

The "Local Men Ruin Everything" gimmick is one of my favorites in wrestling. So effective.

Really, it's less the match itself that bothered me and more... This shit's been going on for ages now. Kane in particular has been a central figure in the main event scene for about a year and a half now and he just brings absolutely nothing to the table at all anymore.

[lookout]

what's worse is they normally lose every week too. I mean what's the damn point? i'm starting to wonder if kane and show have some dirt on vince or somebody because there is no rational explanation for those two dreadful, way over used and way past their prime dudes being anywhere near the end of raw at this point..ESPECIALLY this raw. God it's so damn frustrating that just when you think the wwe gets it, they pull a rabbit out of the hat at wrestlemania and the first half of this show and then they just lay a big fat turd to end it. Sigh.

I feel bad for the guy, as I LIKE Kane, but I don't feel like anyone has benefited from wrestling him in a while now. If they want to put heat on Big Show, hell, just have their tension overflow and have him chokeslam Kane off of the stage or something and give the guy time off or a send off. It's not like I want Big Show as some top heel, either, but he at least hasn't been at it for as long, and is treated as a more credible threat.

See my Sig.

It was just super underwhelming after everything that happened before it. If they did something big after the match, people probably wouldn't even care about Kane and Big Show being in the main event tonight.

[Some Guy]

I've been saying this for eons, but the muscle for The Authority should have been Luke Harper and Big E. Athletic and bigger/young guys that can actually put forth interesting matches.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Kane and Big Show still being top level guys in 2015 is just astonishing to me.

You got all these fantastic performers on your roster and yet you WILLINGLY run with these two. ...Why? Kane doesn't have an ounce of credibility and Show isn't much better.

[Perd]

It has to be out of spite. There's no other explanation.

[Chestnutrice]

I was hoping that tonight would've been the night that Seth takes over and replaces them for Harper and whoever the f*** else.

[Nickybojelais]

It's probably because I've been conditioned to expect more from Post-Mania Raws.

But the ending to this one felt like a throwaway Raw a couple of weeks away from a B-show like Payback or Battleground.

I kind of wondered if they figured, "Well, the thing everyone remembers post-29 is Sheamus / Orton, why not make that the main?" That or they thought the Sting thing would be good enough to send people home happy but for the fans at home, damn it, if Reigns keeps closing out the show triumphant eventually they'll cheer.

[Deleted]

Reigns Ruined Local Men needs to be what this thread is about because that's exactly what happened.

It's insane to imagine that although Kane and Big Show were heavily booed, the moment Reigns gets any offense on them, the crowd boos and the also when Big Show attacks Reigns he's heavily cheered.

Reigns is the kryptonite to this Local Men thing.

[Bang Bang Bart]

The sooner that the Authority ends, the sooner the Local Men fall out of relevance.
