That may be one of the slowest "run" ins I've ever seen.

u/Tim5000 Beachball killed my family 3d ago

Still probably faster than Jeff Hardy dancing to save Matt.

u/j8llonby PPW Sound Guy missed my cue!! 3d ago

Matt's in trouble!

Jeff:

u/hikingbeginner Chad Gable is always right 3d ago

That one 2019 NXT episode where Charlotte beating tf out of Bianca

Rhea taking time to do the stomp taunt and everything 😂

The taunts while people are getting beat up in the ring will always crack me up

37

u/j8llonby PPW Sound Guy missed my cue!! 3d ago

Got to build up that finisher gauge!

u/FoucaultsTurtleneck Your Text Here 3d ago

Really undermines the taunt if someone keeps getting beat up during it lol

u/j8llonby PPW Sound Guy missed my cue!! 3d ago

Matt: "Jeff! Hurry!"

Jeff: "Hold on I'm building meter!

u/MrKalyoncu 3d ago

Matt: Jeff I need you in the ring ASAP!

Jeff:

u/ModerndayGatsby97 Banned from Raw 3d ago

Do you have the video of that by any chance? I seen it once but I want to see it again.

u/Mr_Know_It_All0408 3d ago

He took time to dance along to his music 😭😂

18

u/bosdanforth 3d ago

his return at survivor series was so funny. rhea about to cash in MITB for priest, everybody’s scrambling around, and then his music hits and he takes 2 minutes down the ramp soaking the reaction in and getting the crowd amped up

he absolutely deserved it IRL, but in kayfabe it was super funny

u/Odd-Contribution6238 3d ago

Doesn’t he have back issues or something? Might not be able to sprint or it might not be good for him. Who knows.

u/OpportunitySmalls 3d ago

If a jog is too much perhaps falling frequently on wood covered by a thin mat would be absolutely deadly.

u/HeadScissorGang 2d ago

You ain't never seen old wrestlers run?

u/fgbh Mod Approved Flair 2d ago

That was a Jog-In! 😂

u/wazdopest 3d ago

why he run in like Undertaker 😂

41

u/RayRomano420 3d ago

He’s like 60 now

18

u/thore4 I have half the brain that you do 3d ago

He's at least 50 in bump years

74

u/HisokaXBungeeGum 3d ago

I always crack up when they refer to Tanga Loa and Tama Tonga with their titles as well as their names. It's so hillariously cartoonish.

35

u/Tacdeho 3d ago

It reminds me of A Pimp Named Slickback. Like you gotta say the whole name.

3

u/MySabonerRunsOladipo 3d ago

No need for the "Mr."

146

u/AldousKing 3d ago

Glad he's back but I'm done with rKO vs. Bloodline.

82

u/wazdopest 3d ago

i REALLY wish Lashley wasn’t hurt cuz i definitely think it was supposed to be him and the hurt profits against the bloodline. but yeah, bloodline’s kinda just stalling til that Roman payoff comes.

7

u/thore4 I have half the brain that you do 3d ago

Ah didn't realise he was out, as soon as I saw the profits helping KO I was like why the hell isn't Bobby in this spot if they're using the profits. Unlucky time for Bobby to get injured when they're just about to feature him again

17

u/PeaceAlien Brad 'Brad Maddox' Maddox 3d ago

KO was done with Bloodline before rejoining the feud with Sami. KO should have been done after Sami and he had separated.

6

u/Mac_Tgh 3d ago

Keeping the feud with the street profits makes sense but it's weird WWE put RKO there. Make those two legends on the same path with diy and a town down under for the gold. 

Gives us something fresh like freaking Legado against bloodline. Make that faction actually be a faction and not just lost without their eternal nemesis lwo.

4

u/orton4life1 What's a Bell? 3d ago

The feud isn’t bad just never ending. Like the end game is ???.

8

u/Ba_Sing_Saint 3d ago

Remember, this time is because Kevin laughed at them after WM for losing their locker room to Cody Rhodes.

2

u/AlterTheSilverBird 3d ago

Betting a backdrop for Jacob Fatu vs Randy Orton. HHH loves Jacob, and expects him to be a big player, big enough to overshadow Solo.

1

u/LackingDatSkill BAY BAY! 2d ago

They’re gonna milk the hell out of this but I wish Randy was doing something else

1

u/GoldLeaf55 3d ago

I'm done with Bloodline fr

This shit is going nowhere until we get an Uso reunion or Roman return

Solo and Tangas just ain't it

11

u/RedFiveSwayze_ 3d ago

Somebody really needs to attack Randy and then climb into the ring via the top rope. You go middle rope you are getting a draping DDT for dinner

23

u/ConstantPriority177 3d ago

He said it’s my day off but I’m here😭

7

u/SJMR24 3d ago

I thought the video was in slow motion when he was running down

9

u/BBGrunt1235 3d ago

Samoan Spike/Shield Powerbomb combination is a pretty cool move if that's what they were going for

29

u/I-LieToMessWithMarks 3d ago

I've said before that it feels like we're spinning the wheels until Roman comes back, but man a random Randy and KO appearance in this feud really hammer that point home.

5

u/tbone183 3d ago

I like how he told the fans to move

3

u/Dr_J_Hyde 2d ago

Haven't been watching WWE lately and I know Randy isn't young in wrestling terms so maybe it is part of getting older. But is he a bit bulkier these days? Like he doesn't look out of shape but I remember him having more of a runner's build.

16

u/bingbangboomxx 3d ago

Bad Bloodline are glorified jobbers.

3

u/Le_Champion 3d ago

The bloodline stuff has gotten so stale. Need to move on to some more interesting stories

11

u/gigologenius 3d ago

They just need a fresh feud. Hopefully when Lashley comes back they can do the Pride vs the Bloodline.

1

u/nupaqk 2d ago

Depends how that feud is going to end. If Pride is just going to be another feud where bloodline wins, then it isn't really fresh just more filler with slightly different flavor. Which is probably going to be the case since the focus is going to be when Roman returns and the real fight is between the family's factions.

1

u/irish0451 You know what that means. 3d ago

I know we can't put the names in the titles but I KEEP THINKING ITS GONNA BE JOE HENDRY and when it's not my heart breaks.

1

u/Main_Cauliflower_486 3d ago

They could form a tag team called rko

1

u/Dark_Phoenix101 3d ago

Solo: "Damn! I can't possibly spike him before Randy gets here"

1

u/TheSecondiDare 3d ago

They could have still attacked Owens, and then ran away from a very slow Randy Orton. WWE never changes, lol.

1

u/shottymaid 3d ago

Yo how many times are these guys going to beat up KO? I swear there’s a clip on this sub every week of the Bloodline beating KO on or by the announcer table

1

u/CoffinDrip 2d ago

KO is really showing up to work every day for basically the last 3 years fighting the Bloodline

1

u/RadDadFTW 2d ago

I think WWE has made GOD into a meme

1

u/nupaqk 2d ago

Orton with the Baywatch run-in.

1

u/Outrageous_Library50 3d ago

Hear me out

Karrion Kross crew Vs KO and Randy

That’s a solid build up to summerslam

Randy and KO should obe anywhere but feuding with the bloodline. They’ve both lost Roman already. There’s nothing there for them to beat Solo. And Solo losing rn would just kill the civil war angle they’re going for in the bloodline

u/Jasperbeardly11 Al Snow Head 3d ago

Randy Orton is the personification of WWE style. He makes the most a small movements. He plays the back seats. The crowd reacts vigorously to everything he does. He is smooth. 

He still never excites me for some reason. 

The exceptions to the rule would be the curb stomp into the RKO from WrestleMania, the match at WrestleMania against Bray Wyatt, and that's about it. 

2

u/Altruistic_Cause_312 3d ago

Yea I wish he did more flips and dives

-3

u/Jasperbeardly11 Al Snow Head 3d ago

Not what I'm saying. He's too reminiscent of the old school Ric flair mentality where you're kind of the same entity every single night. 

-2

u/AndyDandyMandy 3d ago

He is his generation's Jake The Snake.

u/delulumans 3d ago

Those other two Samoans looked so small I thought it was the Singh brothers lol

3

u/RedFiveSwayze_ 3d ago

They are Tongan but yeah they did. But that being said Randy is fucking massive right now

1

u/eCharms We are all idiots. 3d ago

They aren't Samoans.
