Gunther vs. Bronson Reed lived up to expectations | WWE Raw | Wrestling Observer Radio

[@donzellmccalipp8510]

This match was so good easily reed's best match since being back,i was surprised gunther had the power to lift him up doing the powerbomb

[@SamoIsKing]

Gunther is probably my favourite wrestler just now. He's the complete package. He's got to win the Rumble and the WHC at Mania.

[@blaze5645]

Every Gunther match is great, and it's a little funny hearing Dave say, over and over again "that Gunther match was the best match we've seen on main roster in a while"... A while defined as last time Gunther wrestled. Hoping Gunther matches return to PLEs, but I think Trips is showing how much he trusts Gunther to deliver each time, and get people into the TV shows. Once Roman buggers off, I predict Gunther is gonna be the next big bad of WWE. If he didn't have Kaiser, who is so good at being the slimy toadie filled with both fear and admiration for the Ring General, I could see Gunther being a Paul Heyman guy.

I had a dream that Dave and Bryan debuted in wcw as "the new nasty boys" and were managed by Jerry Saggs.

Overall solid episode that had a number of moments and matches that the crowd did NOT deserve. I WILL say... Bronson is, generally speaking, very good at selling. His one problem is that he doesn't quite sell forearms. Which is fine when he's working a Gargano or Gable, but with Gunther, he shouldn't just be eating forearms to the face

[@CannedHam2479]

The MUCH larger audience at home deserved it

[@benespinosa6725]

This match was amazing Raw was pretty good last night glad Triple H is fully in-charge of Creative and not vince McMahon you clearly see what a vince McMahon show is and what a Triple H show is and I'd gladly take what Triple H is doing instead of what vince did if they keep this up I'll start watching Raw again this is a good start especially with Competition from Monday night football and game 1 of the NLCS between the Arizona diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies.

As if any people needed more evidence that Bronson Reed and GUNTHER were awesome!

[@chuckandimeforeve]

reed is fucking awesome and Gunther is the goddamnbest

[@spsawyer22]

I need to see Gunther v Okada before I die.

[@ZanderKeen-yj4ew]

Bronson Reed should've won the Title because he took Gunther to the limit in this battle that's like King Kong vs Godzilla. Plus we all know that those chops don't even affect them and as a Super Heavyweight from Australia of a Samoan descendant, he can take punishment from anyone and still stand and he can be able to bounce around the ring as fast as a ping pong ball because of the fact that he is a different breed of a Super Heavyweight

[@paulevans6076]

Dead crowd for this Raw. Listen to the Rollins/McIntyre segment, you could hear a pin drop when those guys were out there

[@bird2684]

I really don’t get why Vince don’t like Reed he looks like a monster, wrestle like a monster, I thought that’s what Vince’s into

[@RevengerPhoenix]

Remember Vince also likes character work. And while Bronson seems like a great big man, he’s not exactly Lightning the world on fire with promos or a character.

[@ArthurDent33]

Did Dave ever wrestle?

[@meekrob]

No. I think I remember him saying he took a few bumps in a ring years ago, but he never actually worked any matches.

[@elberno4243]

Only with his latent homosexuality 😂😂😂

[@alexmonro1711]

Dave is clearly Mark Henry in disguise.

[@SasukesSharingan.]

Theres a reason tony has been hinting at streaming .. there not profiting at the moment and there not getting picked over nxt let alone wwe

[@TheDisruptiveOne]

Great powerbomb.

[@ElmoWatchesWrestling]

👋 hi Bryenn, it’s me Elmo.

[@The29Dave]

I can't believe the obese cartwheeler was brought back I can't believe he has a win over Okada

[@xShoTime83x]

If Gunther doesn't win WON's Wrestler of the Year, the awards are a bigger joke than what they already are.

[@andrewsheehy9938]

Will Ospreay is the leading contender for Wrestler Of The Year in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards Discussion for 2023. GUNTHER will get some votes for the award but Ospreay is the Favourite to win the Ric Flair/Lou Thesz Award for Wrestler Of The Year this year.

[@MyChannel-ol1zz]

Try voting instead of complaining. We know you won’t, but you’ll be back here as always.

[@xShoTime83x]

@@MyChannel-ol1zz If it isn't the channel's toady twatwaffle! When even Meltzer is saying the voters got stuff wrong, like he said last year, one has to wonder how smart the voters actually are. You're the proof that they aren't very smart.

[@elberno4243]

So, young and cheap vs. Reputation and experience... Are we talking about TV rights or brothels?

[@hamilstarr4292]

Maybe some honesty when reviewing AEW might point them back in the right direction? They need some tough love & not BS belief that what the current product is right now is what the general wrestling fan wants

[@Tubeman316]

Uncle Dave & Bryan is "dead wrong" about Triple H being head of creative of WWE now!

[@CannedHam2479]

The Raw REVOLUTION continues!!!! Hopefuly, Raw moves to WEDNESDAYS!!! lol

[@dolandarkxgrandayy6953]

That would be hilarious. They would win the ratings every week until Dynamite would run to Mondays and get crushed by MNF

[@CannedHam2479]

@@dolandarkxgrandayy6953 Yip!

[@leeedwards9068]

SOOOO great that you gave it a 1/2 star, Davey M??? Definitely don’t want your employer; thinnest-skinned, tiny cuckhan upset…you will be called a WWE bot
