[Londoner]

Oh, this could be good. Ill be in the vault later for it.

[ClockShot]

Sounds like a snoozefest.

Y2J/MVP could be great if they go above and beyond, and there is that outside shot that the Miz gets the U.S. title tonight

[Londoner]

US title four way=snoozefest? huh?

[screech]

Good to be back for a RAW thread

[Anybody Thrilla]

I have to wait for my girlfriend to get home to start the DVR or I'd be here with you fine folks tonight.

[Afterlife]

I'm hoping for a good show.

[Seth82]

For once I am actually watching RAW as I wanna see how Dusty does as guest host

[screech]

Looking forward to that fatal four way

[ClockShot]

HE'S JUST A COMMON MAN!

[Innovator]

DiBiase was awesome as host, I hope Dusty is too

[screech]

Love the theme :y:

[screech]

Probably been said before, but CAWdy/Goldust v. Orton/Ted. BOOK IT.

[screech]

:lol:

[screech]

lol CAWdy getting a title shot.

[screech]

Totally called it!

[ClockShot]

CAWdy vs. Orton.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel then.....

[screech]

Woulda been great if the ref was Goldust.

[Afterlife]

Alright, Orton officially looks like a cancer patient.

[Emperor Smeat]

they need to have a pure heel/bad guy as a host since it seems every segment that starts with the host also ends up with Orton comming out. Getting a bit too predictable right now.

[CSL]

I appear to be watching a canadien stream or some shit. 'The Countdown to RAW' currently ft. Flair vs. Sting

[screech]

Yeah he definitely needs some hair.

[screech]

What a revelation :roll:

[CSL]

Here come the Horseman!

[screech]

Why wouldn't they play Dusty's theme again?

[Afterlife]

Oh, and Cody is gorgeous. :drool:

[screech]

Early piss break, I see.

[Indifferent Clox]

awesome

[Triple Naitch]

Evening, all.

[Skippord]

Orton looks cool bald

kinda gay that I said that but whatever

[Loose Cannon]

Orton and Cody walk around for a little pretending they are going to fight. Then they both attack Cena and Cody attacks Dusty.

good night

[Skippord]

also Cody needs to never talk again

powerful lisp

[Seth82]

Yeah that was way too predicatable with Dusty giving his kid a title shot

I feel Cody might be turning face tonight

[screech]

Love USA programming :y:

[Seth82]

Oh, and Cody is gorgeous. :drool:

Agreed.... :cool:

[screech]

Sooo no ECW tomorrow?

[Afterlife]

Orton looks cool bald

kinda gay that I said that but whatever

False. He needs to grow his hair out and stop trying so hard to look like a badass.

[redwings3431]

2 divas matches tonight??? wow

[screech]

lol King

[screech]

"I wish I had a swing like that in my back yard."

[screech]

Did it need two posts? No, but who cares?

[ClockShot]

Haven't seen Maryse for a while. Injury or does creative got nothing for her right now?

[CSL]

2 divas matches tonight??? wow

I just hope Around The Horn starts before then

[screech]

...Kelly Kelly didn't go over the top rope

[Evolution]

I made it. Late but whatever. Goldust needs to get involved tonight. So what if he's an ECW talent? The brands don't matter.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol @ Gail Kim entering with Kelly and being the only one to not get her own entrance</font>

[ClockShot]

End this already.

[Blakeamus]

This is the shits...

[Evolution]

lol at biting Gail's hand

[Triple Naitch]

Haven't seen Maryse for a while. Injury or does creative got nothing for her right now?

Finally getting her knee fixed.

[Emperor Smeat]

that might have been 1st time anyone ever tried to counter the hanging on the top rope with punching the hands or biting it.

[screech]

<font color=goldenrod>lol @ Gail Kim entering with Kelly and being the only one to not get her own entrance</font>

lol Vince doesn't care about her. Only there so she's not in TNA.

[screech]

Michael Cole is god awful.

[Innovator]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NO MIX THEME!

[Evolution]

Michael Cole is god awful.


And in other news, fire is hot.

[screech]

Should be a good one.

[screech]

And in other news, fire is hot.

It had to be said.

[Evolution]

You know what, screw it. I'm off to bed. Night all. :wave:

[Evolution]

It had to be said.


Fair enough.

[screech]

Love that springboard dropkick.

[Jannettyzilla]

Late for the party, but just in time for MVP/Jericho. All is well.

[screech]

BALLIN

[screech]

Good Codebreaker. Good match.

[CSL]

As much as I like him personally, his character etc, MVP just isn't very good

[Jannettyzilla]

Would have been shocked if MVP got the pin ballin' on Jericho, but he sold it well.

Good match.

[screech]

They really have no idea what they want to do with MVP.

[Seth82]

I've never really been all that impressed with MVP...

[CSL]

They really have no idea what they want to do with MVP.

If he had 'it', he'd have been given a crack at a top spot by now

[screech]

LOL I love Shawn

[screech]

That was pretty good.

[Loose Cannon]

lol Cade and Murdoch music

[Seth82]

That was a great segment with Dusty and DX

[Jannettyzilla]

MY GOOD LORD.

Hornswoggle is getting the second biggest push on this show.

[Skippord]

great texas midget bullrope match

[Indifferent Clox]

Triple H "He can tell us what's going to happen."

[CSL]

That SSP is beautiful

[screech]

Fuckin Swog

[screech]

Fuckin Chavo

[screech]

That SSP is beautiful

Indeed :y: It looks great live

[Jannettyzilla]

This is literally eight weeks running. At least.

[screech]

...what the hell?

[Volchok]

when will this end!!!!!!!!!!!!

[screech]

So what are the rules?

[Emperor Smeat]

lol black ref held it like it was a title to the crowd

[Volchok]

enough already?

[Seth82]

Poor Chavo having to wear that ridiculous outfit

He was a great worker in WCW until he was made into a comedian in the E

[screech]

That was a nice boot.

[screech]

Rather, hoof.

:shifty:

[screech]

Well, that was awful.

[CSL]

This is fucking abysmal

[Skippord]

Chavo rode out on a stick horse named Pepe in WCW

and somehow this is more embarrassing and pathetic

[Emperor Smeat]

normally i would think this would be similar to the time MVP had his long loosing streak but he was promised a push or become a main eventer. I don't think Chavo is getting the same deal in the end.

[Jannettyzilla]

I really hope this turns Chavo into a vicious heel. Like, this feud ends with him throwing Swogs in a wood chipper.

If not, this could be worst feud ever.

[screech]

Fuck you, Michael Cole. Fuck you.

[Jannettyzilla]

Chavo rode out on a stick horse named Pepe in WCW

and somehow this is more embarrassing and pathetic

I really wished Chavo and Pepe would have won the tag titles back then. :lol:

[Skippord]

hopefully this ends with Pepe making a return and being used to beat hornswoggle


to death

[screech]

Is that the rest of the show tomorrow, then?

[screech]

Why do MVP and Mark Henry both look like stop signs now?

[screech]

Show doesn't really do a spear, it's more of a diving shoulder block.

[screech]

That wasn't entirely awful.

[CSL]

It really wasn't

[screech]

Give it to Miz!

[CSL]

"...because I'm The Miz, and I'm AWESOME" is easily my favourite wrestling catchphrase atm

[screech]

"...because I'm The Miz, and I'm AWESOME" is easily my favourite wrestling catchphrase atm

It is brilliant.

[screech]

Nash walking in right now would be priceless.

[screech]

LOL at the TNA potshot

[Jannettyzilla]

WOW at the Michaels/WCW segment. :rofl:

[CSL]

lollll HBK

[screech]

lol Mero

[screech]

What a great segment

[Jannettyzilla]

Wow, that was great.

As should this be. Hoping Kofi retains, but this may be the night. :-\

[screech]

THE Miz

[CSL]

Still don't understand Jack Swagger's 'I'm in an invisible straight jacket' entrance

[CSL]

Wow, that was great.

As should this be. Hoping Kofi retains, but this may be the night. :-\

My guess would be Kofi over, Kofi/Miz @ the PPV

[Seth82]

Boy they really buried Marc Mero in that segment with DX and Dusty

[CSL]

And Kofi still has the best theme on TV

[screech]

Carlito sucks.

[CSL]

That whole sequence was excellent

[screech]

That cross body was sweet

[screech]

Still don't understand Jack Swagger's 'I'm in an invisible straight jacket' entrance

I love it for some reason.

[screech]

CoCo?

[screech]

I hate how they call front dropkicks missile dropkicks.

[screech]

lol at Carlito getting pinned.

[Emperor Smeat]

pretty good 4-way match.

[Jannettyzilla]

Oooh, give Beth the title. And then fire the rest of the Divas.

[screech]

The things I would do to Mickie :drool:

[CSL]

This match has already gone on too long

[screech]

This match has already gone on too long

No one in the crowd gives a shit.

[CSL]

No one on earth gives a shit

[Jannettyzilla]

Was about to wonder if this was Mickie's payback for the Gail incident, but she survived. Boo.

[Jannettyzilla]

OH MY GOD.


That was awesome.

[screech]

LOL Shockmaster

[CSL]

These have easily been the best Guest GM segments

[Loose Cannon]

ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Genius

[CSL]

They should make Dusty GM when they're done with this gimmick

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Arn fucking made that segment. :lol: Awesome.</font>

[Loose Cannon]

lol Arn Anderson doing the voice

Ole Anderson did the original voice for those who do not know.

And Dusty created the idea

[Jannettyzilla]

These have easily been the best Guest GM segments

So true.

[CSL]

Only thing missing was Davey, Sid and Flair laughing and swearing

[Emperor Smeat]

How accurate are those "Did You Know" pieces WWE uses for RAW ?

[screech]

A lot of them are inaccurate.

[screech]

I don't think Cena will quit.

[Jannettyzilla]

I'm having trouble understanding: What's John Cena's position on quitting?

[screech]

:lol: Why even tease that CAWdy could win?

[screech]

Oh right:

"Anything can happen in the WWE!"

:shifty:

[CSL]

Cena should have been out first

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>BOB BARKER</font>

[screech]

Bob Barker is going to be amazing.

[CSL]

The price is wrong bitch

[screech]

Dusty has been great tonight.

[screech]

I am enjoying this Legacy theme.

[Emperor Smeat]

you think they will also bring the guy who announces contestants and mini-games with Barker or at least the giant wheel ?

[CSL]

Gonna be disappointed if they go with the predictable swerve ending here, show hasn't been awful

[screech]

Giant wheel for sure.

[The Gold Standard]

Where is his Ref shirt?

[jerichoholicninja]

Please be a Dusty finish!!! How awesome would that be.

[screech]

Gonna be disappointed if they go with the predictable swerve ending here, show hasn't been awful

Better than it's been lately.

[The Gold Standard]

Love Ted

[jerichoholicninja]

Well that was a waste of time.

[The Gold Standard]

TRIPS!!!

[The Gold Standard]

THE HAT

[The Gold Standard]

Heels went over. Wow.

[The Gold Standard]

Aaameeericannnnnn Dreeaaaaammmmmmm!!!

[screech]

Love Ted

[screech]

Finally the heels go over.

[The Gold Standard]

A Cody chant. Really?

[screech]

CAWdy chant?!?

[The Gold Standard]

I wish we saw some Pedz

[The Gold Standard]

Big Juicy Pedz

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Wow, teasing Cody leaving now. Possibly both Legacy guys leave Orton? I have no idea where they are going with this now.</font>

[Loose Cannon]

Nice Ending finally

[Emperor Smeat]

good RAW overall, a bit disappointed they didn't at least have a cameo with Goldust with Dusty or maybe Cody.

[Afterlife]

OMMFG, I wanted Cody to clobber him SOOOOOOO bad! Excellent work, WWE!

[CSL]

Bleh. Last 30 seconds were good. Completely pointless if it doesn't go anywhere though.

[Indifferent Clox]

swerve!

[Favre4Ever]

:: prays to God he can borrow LC's psychic powers ::

[screech]

Not a bad RAW for once.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Never thought I'd hear a Cody chant.</font>

[screech]

OMMFG, I wanted Cody to clobber him SOOOOOOO bad! Excellent work, WWE!

[screech]

<font color=goldenrod>Never thought I'd hear a Cody chant.</font>

Fluke

[Afterlife]

The whole crowd was actually into it! It was amazing!

[The Gold Standard]

<font color=goldenrod>Never thought I'd hear a Cody chant.</font>

[The Gold Standard]

Very good ending. I thought it was an overall good Raw too.

[Loose Cannon]

:: prays to God he can borrow LC's psychic powers ::

nah, I've just been watching for so long that I've seen everything. That's been down countless times.

I did not see Dusty being in on it though

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>This was a good show with the exception of yet another Chavo/Swog match. Bob Barker already makes next week a win show for me.</font>

[Afterlife]

I bet we get the Price is Right "you lose" music when Horny beats Chavo.

[Lock Jaw]

I think Cody outpopped DX.

[screech]

lol

[RGWhat316]

Just checking my dvr, and it seemed RAW ended abruptly. I actually thought that CAWdy was going to do the punt at first. But they all just started to leave after that. Afterwards HHH finally got on the mic and said "well, that isnt how I expected it to go", then called down Legacy and they had a 4 on 3 with DX, Cena, and Dusty v Orton, Legacy. Orton ended up taking all the finishers and tapping out to the STFU.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Wonder if Bob, hornball that he is, will have the divas accompany him to the ring as his "Barker's Beauties", and then have Lilian (if she's still there next Monday) or one of the other divas hand him a microphone, like how one of the beauties (Janice, usually I think, back in the day, maybe sometimes Holly on occasion, on TPiR) would do at the start of every show. Maybe have Bob start with "I thank you all for that wonderful welcome...Welcome to Monday Night RAW..." and so forth...gonna be sweet for sure.
