I won't be here to post. All I ask is that you keep it spoiler-free since tonight's show was pre-taped in London this PM.

Enjoy the show. Peace! :wave:

[Immortal Moose]

I predict a slow night for the thread, but I'll be here. :)

[VSG]

DAMN iNATOR creates the Raw spoiler thread AND the Raw non spoiler thread and then proceeds to not post.

[MisterLee]

Yeah makes complete sense! I love the UK crowd though with their overwhelming love for Daniel Bryan.

[Volare]

LETS GET PUMPED UP!!

[Savio]

Whats up with the lack of comedy in the raw threads lately?

[Volare]

No idea, I hang out in the chat usually.

[Immortal Moose]

Whats up with the lack of comedy in the raw threads lately?

They're getting lazy. I assume you mean the title?

[Volare]

I didn't read the spoilers cause I like the english crowds.

[DirtyD]

awesome start

[Immortal Moose]

Neither did I... and the WWE Champ match to kick things off.

[Cool King]

No entrance for Henry. :(

[The Whole F'n Show]

Guinness bath this week?

"Sexual Chocolate". :lol:

[DirtyD]

sexual chocolate chants lol

[el bobbo]

The "Yes" chants are in full effect.

[DaVe]

lol love the crowd

[The Whole F'n Show]

I really used to hate the whole "yes!" thing until the crowds started doing it

[Immortal Moose]

Not sure if this is true but I've been wondering about this since the match started.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Due to the NTSC/PAL conversions, Mark Henry looks gray.

Oh shit! That was fucking awesome.

[ClockShot]

Hey guys, sorry I'm late.

[dronepool]

Sick finish.

[The Whole F'n Show]

wtf is with the weird wrinkle between jericho's eyes? Never noticed that til now

[Cool King]

Urgh, they've piped in the cheers like they do with SmackDown.

[DirtyD]

lol @ flexing those beer muscles

[Droford]

fish and chips

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Jericho still with the taunting.

So that's why Punk mentioned fish and chips on Twitter.

[Immortal Moose]

A match for the ages, I'm calling it.

[Droford]

wonder if he can eat beer battered fish

[Cool King]

I would actually like to see David Otunga as United States Champion.

[Immortal Moose]

I'd prefer it to Santino Marella honestly.

[Rollermacka]

WTF is R Truth on?

[Rollermacka]

Whatever he's smoking I want some.

[Droford]

the us title shouldnt be defended in England

[Cool King]

They're in London and he didn't even wear a Spurs top.

[Savio]

They're getting lazy. I assume you mean the title?
Yea

[GSP]

Is it just me or does anyone else get a Masters vibe from Otunga?

[Frank Drebin]

Love how Otunga's billing is "Graduate of Harvard Law"

[Rollermacka]

Is it just me or does anyone else get a Masters vibe from Otunga?

I kinda like David Otunga as the "narcissistic heel" but with the twist that he's highly educated. It's kinda like Lex Luger with the brain of the Genius :p

[dronepool]

I sorta want Carlton Banks to win.

[DirtyD]

COBRAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[Blakeamus]

Piss! Haha!

[DirtyD]

I thought Cena crapped himself during a match not pissed himself.

[BigCrippyZ]

Hmmm...

Lord Tensai = Shredder

:shifty:

[Frank Drebin]

Shredder = Super Shredder = Nash

OMG...Lord Tensai is Kevin Nash

[DirtyD]

Football though, not his best memory

[Rollermacka]

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/o22eIJDtKho" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I know this has nothing to do with RAW but they played this song in the Prototype 2 commerical.

[Frank Drebin]

If Brock wins in less than 5 minutes at Extreme Rules, everyone gets subs from Jimmy Johns

[el bobbo]

Beating people up, that's what makes me happy.

[Innovator]

Sick video package on Brock.

[Frank Drebin]

was wondering when we were going to see kane/ryder

[DaVe]

Pretty great video/interview package for Brock. Legit.

[Immortal Moose]

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Not sure why @<a href="https://twitter.com/ZackRyder">ZackRyder</a> would fear Kane. If anything, Kane should fear him.

Yea

[el bobbo]

Kane's black humour ftw!

[Rollermacka]

Wait a minute, did Kane hit Otron with the Lex Flexer?

[GSP]

Kane really needs a new mask and gotta love standing in the ring for 5 minutes for commercials lol

[Emperor Smeat]

Kane beat the crap out of Ryder

:-\ so much for any hopes of an actual Ryder-Kane feud or Ryder getting revenge.

[Cool King]

Oh God, "What" chants.

[DirtyD]

YES! YES! YES!

[Droford]

yes lock?

[Immortal Moose]

lol the YES! Lock

[el bobbo]

YES!

[DirtyD]

hahahahaha

[DirtyD]

that was great

[Immortal Moose]

It keeps going and going and going...

[Cool King]

"The Yes Lock"?

[Innovator]

That was immense on so many levels

[Rollermacka]

YES! YES! YES!

I missed it, what's the story behind the whole YES YES YES chant?

[Immortal Moose]

I missed it, what's the story behind the whole YES YES YES chant?

When he won the title he just started chanting YES! and it became his thing.

[KyleEmmott]

YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!

[el bobbo]

So Brock's sole purpose is to end and replace Cena? Doesn't that make Brock the good guy?

[DirtyD]

I love* Johnny's music

[Immortal Moose]

The Era of Excitement would have been better.

[DaVe]

Johnny's so corny its awesome.

[Eklipse]

the crowd is getting on my nerves tonight. Ooooooooooo......awwwww...

WWE Creative ‏ @WWE_Creative Close
Jerry Lawler likes hearing the word "Yes" from a pretty lady, but "no" isn't necessarily a deal breaker. Neither is age. #RAWTonight

[BigCrippyZ]

Shredder = Super Shredder = Nash

OMG...Lord Tensai is Kevin Nash

WHOA!

So, Matt Bloom and Kevin Nash are the same person!?!

:shifty:

[Cool King]

the crowd is getting on my nerves tonight. Ooooooooooo......awwwww...

Yeah, it's horrible hearing a crowd enjoy themselves. :p

[BigCrippyZ]

Shut up Cole. The only thing I admire about AJ is her tits and ass, as it should be.

[Cool King]

Shut up Cole. The only thing I admire about AJ is her tits and ass, as it should be.

She has tits?

[Emperor Smeat]

YES! YES! YES!

[BigCrippyZ]

She has tits?

Touché. Ok, mainly her ass then. :naughty:

[DirtyD]

She has tits?


YES! YES! YES!

[BigCrippyZ]

YES! YES! YES!

:lol:

[starfox8500]

It's a good thing there were too many limes, that could've gotten ugly.

[DirtyD]

I guess Alex Riley's silhouette is the only one getting work.

[DirtyD]

Funky Time

[Droford]

wasteotimeasaurus

[Eklipse]

This just isn't fair at all...

[el bobbo]

really?

[Cool King]

Rrrrossssa!

[Droford]

Great Big Show?

[Immortal Moose]

Well, they got on Raw...

[Eklipse]

the big khali show

[Droford]

Mizcow!

[Cool King]

I had a feeling it would be Lord Tensai.

[GSP]

So is this match gonna prove once and for all this gimmick and albert need to go?

[el bobbo]

Those Japanese characters mean "Chicken Tempura."

[DirtyD]

Lord Tensai is coming

look busy...

[GSP]

What I am gathering from this match is Tensai > Rock?

[Eklipse]

Tensai = new Umaga.

[Cool King]

Cole, that is not the STF.

[el bobbo]

Good.

[Emperor Smeat]

No loogie claw from Tensai this week.

[DirtyD]

who else think Cena looks like Frankenstein with that green on his face?

[KyleEmmott]

It's been awhile since we've seen green mist in the WWE.

[DirtyD]

WWE Creative ‏ @WWE_Creative
We had to explain to Vince for an hour why we couldn't call that move The Bukkake despite it being a Japanese word #RAWTonight

[GSP]

Tajiri > Tensai

[Droford]

Tensai was just trying to match Cena's face to his shirt

[Blakeamus]

She has tits?

[MIZantine Empire]

Is it just me or does anyone else get a Masters vibe from Otunga?
maybe he is getting the push that ryan clark so wisely stated that masters was gonna get after last years mania..u know, when he got released? lol..i hate that clark guy

[MIZantine Empire]

I guess Alex Riley's silhouette is the only one getting work.
lol i was thinking the same thing..i was like, wtf would alex riley by cenas mystery opponent for? lol

[MIZantine Empire]

at work, when i want to change a delivery ticket, or dispatch, i have to push F5 on the computer..and i giggle to myself everytime i do it! lol

[Tornado]

Went to the show last night.
Great atmosphere, great crowd, had a great time.

Daniel Bryan is super over.

[Raven Reaper]

This is my first time seeing Lord Tensai almost beaten by Cena despite his one-sided pwnage 2 weeks from now and pinning him for the win!! Haha.. Spitting green mist reminded me of Mortal Kombat's REPTILE FATALITY!!!!

[XL]

They're getting lazy. I assume you mean the title?
I actually wrote out a thread entitled "Bale of Straw Thread 16th April 2012" as that is the cockney rhyming slang for "raw" but decided that somebody else could probably do better.

Turns out I was wrong.

[Cool King]

I was just watching videos of Santino's entrance and I came across one from a member of the crowd.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/01h7t--6Cys" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

It wasn't until I finished watching it I realised who's video it was. The uploader is "tpwwTornado".

What are the chances.

Also, I had a feeling something happened when Santino was taking off his Man U shirt, but I still don't get why he didn't wear a Spurs shirt too. :-\

[Tornado]

You clearly hear my friend say "that better not be a fucking Spurs shirt"

[DAMN iNATOR]

DAMN iNATOR creates the Raw spoiler thread AND the Raw non spoiler thread and then proceeds to not post.

1.) I didn't want to risk accidentally posting something that would've spoiled any part of the show

and

2.) I access the Internet exclusively from a public library these days, which is only open 'til 9PM local, and I wanted to get home in time to catch the show. Doing so means catching a bus at 8:15 and transferring to my route at 8:45 at the downtown bus station with a 10-15 minute ride til I'm at the stop I get off at to get home, most times barely by 9 or a couple minutes before.

[CSL]

you getting a bus for every library visit just adds to the LEGeND of DAMN iNATOR

[VSG]

lol bless you DAMN iNATOR!

That's a FAngel level of precise (yet needless) detail.
