Will the desk still be tipped over next week?

[bmfjules]

Unless Brock personally tips it back up that is.

I am in favor of this becoming a thing if so.

[comahan]

I got so irrationally frustrated that no one pushed it back in place.

So were JBL and Booker under there the entire time? I missed that part.

Me and the wife were busting up every time they showed the desk.

In a multi-million dollar company with a roster full of body builder type guys NO ONE could be arsed to go and set the damn thing back up. Tremendous.

Why do people have to act 'knocked out' all the time? When the table got knocked over it was ludicrous that Book and JBL were out cold from that. Couldn't they just be holding their leg or stomach or something (wherever the table hit) and have to leave ringside because of the pain?

Oh well, still fun.

They were playing dead so Bork would not Bork them anymore.

Good theory.

Former wrestlers become more fragile when they switch to a non-wrestling role, apparently.

Doesn't apply to Kevin Nash.

Booker and JBL should have sent a text to themselves, then.

I think we need to investigate the impact of a tipped desk on the Tensai gimmick.

WWE should treat the Raw arena like the APA treated their office, where various damage and messes were kept constant to maintain continuity even though they were in different venues each week.

YES! YES! YES!

[cahuette]

They should've had Henry's music hit in the middle of a match, have Henry walk slowly while the guys in the ring look scared, then Henry goes around the ring, puts the table back in place and yell "THAT'S WHAT I DO! THAT'S WHAT I DO" then leave.

Would give purpose to Mark Henry's return besides "filling out a roster spot".

And it wasn't even hard to put it back up. Like it wasn't completly upside down where you have to roll it over twice to get it set backup. It was on the with incredible amount of leverage that one person should be able to do. Plus if it's too much for one person two people can easily do it? Hell during a commercial break, a team of refs, camera men, and ring announcers and Bryon Saxton could of easily flipped it with ease.

My only theory is they didn't want to piss off Brock Lesnar. They fear if they flip it back, they'll summon an angry Brock Lesnar out of nowhere to F5 their asses. Or Brock Lesnar told everyone specifically 'that anyone who flips the table back to normal will go on my hit list. It won't happen today or tomorrow. But your day of reckoning will come."

[jigawatt]

I kept envisioning that Byron Saxton was standing on an unconscious JBL behind that table as he was doing his fill-in commentary.

[bmfjules]

I like to imagine JBL in the hospital bed next to Michael Cole in kayfabe land, both in full body casts going in and out of consciousness, intermittently muttering in between IV drips of morphine "So much, fun....... maggle... maggle?" "He's twerk...in... maggle.... (passes out)

[RedDevil]

I think they should set it up like that from now on as a mark of respect to the loving memory of the late Michael Cole.
