Official RAW Thread for 09/28/09 - HULK HOGAN! AL SHARPTON'S COMIN' FOR YOU!

[Xero]

Sup?

As always (for chat only): http://www.justin.tv/juan_cena_/old

[Londoner]

am so fucking drunk right now, watching wrestlemania 2001, on austin v rock atm

[Cool King]

You would probably have to be drunk to watch tonight's Raw anyway.

It would make it less painfull to watch.

[Londoner]

true

[The Gold Standard]

I wonder if Al will actually be good tonight.

[The Gold Standard]

I am so excited, I am going to the Raw after Survivor Series

[Xero]

I'm going to the RAW before Survivor Series.

The one at the Garden.

[Londoner]

now watchin angle v hbk

[FourFifty]

I'm not even going to try to watch Raw tonight.

[Xero]

And that's coming from the guy who has a WRESTLING TATTOO.

[Xero]

So, Sharpton over Chavo?

[The Gold Standard]

I'm going to the RAW before Survivor Series.

The one at the Garden.

The one I am going to is in Hershey PA

[The Gold Standard]

So, Sharpton over Chavo?

Most likely

[Xero]

The one I am going to is in Hershey PA

I was actually going to go to that but for whatever reason I couldn't get floor. So I checked the Garden RAW and saw that there were a few new seats open (was sold out). I'd rather have higher seats at the Garden than closer seats in a possibly mark town (did Hershey for a show WAAAAAY back, like 97).

[screech]

I still can't believe they got Sharpton.

[Xero]

I still can't believe it's not wrestling.

[Xero]

I am so taking that sign.

[The Gold Standard]

I have never been to a show there. I normally go to NJ or NY.

[Cool King]

I am so taking that sign.

Get ready for it to be confiscated then.

[Xero]

They didn't take my Cena Ico Pro sign or "Cena's Target Audience" sign with a picture of unmasked Rey at NOC. And they both made it on TV (technically). You're probably right, but I'm taking it anyway. Just wish I was hard camera.

[The Gold Standard]

I need to think of a good sign for the show I go to

[The Gold Standard]

We are going to see Super Cena tonight

[Xero]

I need to think of a good sign for the show I go to

"I came to Hershey for some Sexual Chocolate"

That was one of the signs I was going to take. Or something linking Hershey and Henry/Sexual Chocolate.

[The Gold Standard]

"I came to Hershey for some Sexual Chocolate"

That was one of the signs I was going to take. Or something linking Hershey and Henry/Sexual Chocolate.

I like it. I'll do that.

[The Gold Standard]

7 minutes.

No matter how good or bad Raw is, I am always pumped for it.

[Cool King]

They didn't take my Cena Ico Pro sign or "Cena's Target Audience" sign with a picture of unmasked Rey at NOC. And they both made it on TV (technically). You're probably right, but I'm taking it anyway. Just wish I was hard camera.

That's a bit surprising.

During last weeks Raw, as Cena was in the ring for the contract signing thing, a guy in the front row held up an anti-Cena sign which got taken away from him in less than a minute.

http://j-cena.com/gallery/albums/Raw%20Captures/2009/21stsept/1/img____0000000009.jpg

Now you see it....
http://j-cena.com/gallery/albums/Raw%20Captures/2009/21stsept/1/img____0000000013.jpg

Now you don't.
http://j-cena.com/gallery/albums/Raw%20Captures/2009/21stsept/1/img____0000000014.jpg

The guy holding the sign found it funny, so it wasn't all bad I guess.

Now I'm off to watch Raw.

[screech]

Here we go

[screech]

BALLIN

[The Gold Standard]

VIP LOUNGE!!

[The Gold Standard]

BALLIN'

[screech]

No suit?

[ClockShot]

The "last" button on my remote is gonna get a work out.

[The Gold Standard]

I love this theme

[screech]

I love how Show holds the belts

[screech]

I love this theme

I am not a fan.

[The Gold Standard]

I enjoyed Show's input there

[ClockShot]

Maybe we'll luck out and Sharpton appears in pre-recorded segments.

[CSL]

I was disappointed when Apollo Creed didn't come out dancing then :(

[SammyG]

Sharpton has such a bad ass voice

[Triple Naitch]

Lol, yes. They're booing Sharpton.

[The Gold Standard]

Sharpton has such a bad ass voice

Yeah he does

[screech]

Heat on Rev?

[The Gold Standard]

Heat on Rev?

I guess so

[The Gold Standard]

Triple Threat at Hell in a Cell?

[Emperor Smeat]

LOL Jericho is too amazing at insulting the crowd out of nowhere.

[The Gold Standard]

WOO TITLE MATCH

[Emperor Smeat]

I lol'ed how crowd started booing Rev Sharpton after he started talking about improving education. Made it seem like the crowd didn't want better education than just booing Sharpton himself.

[CSL]

Jericho was gold in that segment

[screech]

WOO TITLE MATCH

[Londoner]

i enjoyed that

[ClockShot]

http://instantcrickets.com/

[screech]

Jericho was gold in that segment

Indeed :y:

[The Gold Standard]

Jericho was gold in that segment

As he always is

[Jannettyzilla]

I got kinda bummed when the music hit and it wasn't Apollo Creed.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>This is discrimination at the highest degree</font>

[Londoner]

jericho doesn't need to be described as 'was gold' jericho is gold!

[The Gold Standard]

For some reason I think MVP and Henry might win.

[screech]

Still don't get why they have to dress like stop signs.

[CSL]

I was disappointed when Apollo Creed didn't come out dancing then :(

I got kinda bummed when the music hit and it wasn't Apollo Creed.

GET WITH THE PROGRAM GODDDDDD

[LuigiD]

Haha I could not believe they booed Sharpton.
They handled the situation well at least. Specially Jericho.

[screech]

I only like watching Mark Henry wrestle when he is in the ring with Show. I don't know why.

[The Gold Standard]

I hate having to do homework during Raw

[The Gold Standard]

I have a strange feeling they will do it

[screech]

I love the Military Press when the guy taking it gets thrown into or out of the ring.

[screech]

Nice "spear" by Show :y:

[ClockShot]

This match still going?

[screech]

Just realized Lil Naitch is doing this match

[Emperor Smeat]

LOL at Jericho trying the sleeper and then King saying he doesn't have enough arm length to do it. Then Cole with the obvious stat that Henry's neck is fat.

[The Gold Standard]

This is a slow Raw thread tonight.

[screech]

BALLIN'

[The Gold Standard]

It is BALLIN' King, not BALLINGGGGG

[screech]

Pure Rock with that DDT

[Emperor Smeat]

No way they going to be able to keep the crowd hot after the way this match is going on.

[Jannettyzilla]

MVP looks a lot better tonight than he has recently.

Great match.

[CSL]

That little Ballin' bit that MVP does would be great if MVP's elbow drops didn't chomp balls

Hot crowd btw

[The Gold Standard]

It amazes me why MVP doesn't get a ME push. However, I guess feuding with Jerishow is a start

[screech]

I love that Roberts is on RAW :y:

[The Gold Standard]

Great match.

So much for my feeling about new champs.

[screech]

The man is keeping them down.

[jerichoholicninja]

So Mysterio is back already and gets a title shot right away? Sounds like he's been learning from Batista.

[screech]

Dave gave him the code

[Afterlife]

That match was fun.

[Afterlife]

So Mysterio is back already and gets a title shot right away? Sounds like he's been learning from Batista.

You honestly didn't know Rey would be Dave's partner?

[Emperor Smeat]

It amazes me why MVP doesn't get a ME push. However, I guess feuding with Jerishow is a start

I think its because a few years ago when he was in his loosing streak, one of the guarantees was a main event push but not a quick one. I think the idea is to build him up over time like how the Rock and Stone Cold were built up over a few years so by the time he's a legit main eventer, he would be ready to carry the company on his own.

[The Gold Standard]

Who is more of the Minority, Chavo or Swog?

[screech]

SANTINO!

[screech]

Swog doesn't exist

[Emperor Smeat]

Dave gave him the code

Gave him as in wrote down the code on a piece of paper to give to Mysterio or more like a disease. Would be bad if its contagious and now everyone starts getting the "code".

[The Gold Standard]

Shut up Primo

[screech]

Who the fuck cares about Primo?

[jerichoholicninja]

You honestly didn't know Rey would be Dave's partner?

I havn't been paying the closest of attention to wresslin' lately.

[screech]

Gave him as in wrote down the code on a piece of paper to give to Mysterio or more like a disease. Would be bad if its contagious and now everyone starts getting the "code".

Dave only gives it to people who shoot up with him.

[CSL]

If MVP was gonna be ready, he'd be there by now. He was really hot a year or 2 ago but now he just blends in. He's not that great anyways

[screech]

Orton NEEDS to have more hair on his head

[The Gold Standard]

I think Orton is better when he is chasing the belt

[CSL]

Why does Josh Matthews always look constipated?

[screech]

I think he only looks that way on live tv.

[Jannettyzilla]

Orc alert!

[The Gold Standard]

So he looks like that in person too?

[Emperor Smeat]

Why does Josh Matthews always look constipated?

Thats his character now since "#1 announcer" was taken by Funaki years ago and the whole "Tim White suicide of the week reporter" didn't work. So now its "looks like i need to take a shit but can't right now" gimmich for him.

[The Gold Standard]

I love Mickie

[The Gold Standard]

Mickie v Alicia in a Cell?

[screech]

So he looks like that in person too?

I could see that.

[screech]

I love Mickie

[The Gold Standard]

That Scissors kick is better than Booker's

[taker707]

I just saw a cell at the top of the arena . anyone else see it ?

[The Gold Standard]

http://images1.fanpop.com/images/photos/1900000/Summerskin-Mickie-James-mickie-james-1982098-275-390.jpg

[Afterlife]

Mickie needs to stop wearing tops that expose her gut.

[screech]

That Scissors kick is better than Booker's

Indeed.

[screech]

shut up taker707

[LoDownM]

Man, I want that Rosa chick to walk around my house like that topless.

[screech]

Man, I want that Rosa chick to walk around my house like that topless.

[screech]

taker707, you have yet to answer my challenge. I will rescind my previous post to allow you to answer.

[The Gold Standard]

I may be in the minority, but I like Mickie better

[mike adamle]

Ugh, the gay ref.

[Emperor Smeat]

Would be funny if Smackdown vs Raw 2010 had the black ref but he only shows up during a divas match since he's almost never involved in any other match on RAW.

[CSL]

I just saw a cell at the top of the arena . anyone else see it ?

Wouldn't suprise me. Cena might be getting twatted.

[screech]

Mickie needs to stop wearing tops.

[The Gold Standard]

Ugh, the gay ref.

Don't like him?

[screech]

I want to have a threesome with Mickie and Rosa

[taker707]

bring it you 80's nerd

[The Gold Standard]

I want to have a threesome with Mickie and Rosa

[The Gold Standard]

FIGHT IN THE RAW THREAD!

[Afterlife]

I want to have a threesome with Mickie and Rosa

It'd be a foursome if Mickie brings her gut.

[CSL]

lollllll Arby's ad after a Mickie James match

[screech]

bring it you 80's nerd

You're aware Saved by the Bell was on the air in the early 90s, right (8/20/89-5/22/93)?

I'm all for trash talk, but at least get the facts right.

You'll have to do better than that.

[screech]

It'd be a foursome if Mickie brings her gut.

I don't mind the gut. Better than being pencil-thin, IMO

[The Gold Standard]

GET HIM

[The Gold Standard]

I don't mind the gut. Better than being pencil-thin, IMO

[The Gold Standard]

UGH BILLY REGAL

[screech]

IT'S A NEW DAYYYYYYY

[Jannettyzilla]

Yes, we built this cell just to give you a "sneak peek". You will not see it used tonight. We promise.

:naughty:

[screech]

Never eeever? Okay Jericho

[Jannettyzilla]

Wow, that was a great WHAT? by the crowd. :lol:

[taker707]

Why dont you go cry to lisa you worthless little bitch . You want my title come get it . SO SHUT UP SCREECH

[screech]

Sweet video package :y:

[screech]

Why dont you go cry to lisa you worthless little bitch . You want my title come get it . SO SHUT UP SCREECH

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You are quite a jobber. I will have to train hard to win this one.

[Emperor Smeat]

lol "boring" by HBK

[taker707]

Say what you will . If you guys havent figured it yet i don't care what any of you have to say .

[Emperor Smeat]

someone earlier in the promo shouted out "boring" but that wasn't DX.

[screech]

That damn hat

[Jannettyzilla]

Man, Ted is light years ahead of Cody on the mic.

[Emperor Smeat]

you can't say "butthole" on a PG show ?

[screech]

lol Shawn

[CSL]

Man, Ted is light years ahead of Cody on the mic.

I'd say it's the other way round. Only thing letting Cody down is his lithp

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I love HBM

[screech]

CAWdy is growing on me. Still like Ted more, though.

[screech]

I still say Bourne should be in that US Title match. He always faces the US title guys, so why not have him in the picture?

[Afterlife]

I still fail to see a legitimate argument of who's "better" on the mic betwixt Ted and Cody. Pretty sure it's all opinionated bullshit. :y:

[screech]

Exactly my point.

[Afterlife]

I still say Bourne should be in that US Title match. He always faces the US title guys, so why not have him in the picture?

Because they put him on Raw without any reasoning?

[screech]

Because they put him on Raw without any reasoning?

But he's there now and it'd make sense for him to challenge for the belt if he's facing the others involved.

[screech]

They may not have had anything when he moved to RAW, but here's something for him now.

[screech]

Did Bourne pull out a Mosh Pit?

[CSL]

Nice finish

[Afterlife]

Well...That match was oddly slow and awkwardly quiet.

[Emperor Smeat]

seems redundant to say All-American American if he already has an All-American award

[Jannettyzilla]

seems redundant to say All-American American if he already has an All-American award
Thank you, Mr. Cena.

[Jannettyzilla]

Soooo tired of Miz.

[screech]

I love Miz.

[The Gold Standard]

I love Miz.

[The Gold Standard]

SANTINO!!

[Jannettyzilla]

Damn, that's a heck of an 8 man tag for SD.

[Jannettyzilla]

Goddamnit.

But hey, Santino rules.

[screech]

SANTINO!!

SANTINO!

[Emperor Smeat]

LOL santino's face

[Jannettyzilla]

I soooooooooo want to see Santino get a push.

[screech]

Master Lock for Swog?

[screech]

YES!

[Jannettyzilla]

Chavo face turn?

[mike adamle]

I was perfectly fine with Hornswoggle getting a masterlock.

[Jannettyzilla]

That's actually a pretty good move for Raw.

[Afterlife]

YES! MIDGET-BASED CHAVO FACE TURN!!!

[CSL]

lol @ Santino in the Masterlock

[What Would Kevin Do?]

You know, if this Swoggle angle ends up with a face turn for Chavo where he actually gets a good push, then maybe it'll have been worth it.

[screech]

Chavo face turn?

I thought the same thing.

[Jannettyzilla]

I could see him and Primo teaming up to at least give them somethin' to do and to get him back some in ring cred.

But, odds are he'll starting teaming with Swog while Swog continues to suck the life out of my soul.

[Jannettyzilla]

Wait, what?

[Juan]

ben roethlisberger? lol

[CSL]

Great choice with Roethlisberger

[screech]

lol Big Ben

[Afterlife]

Wow.

[Innovator]

WOOOO

GM Rothenstein

[Jannettyzilla]

Wow, nice to see you Jillian's boobs. :naughty:

[Afterlife]

Heh. I enjoyed Raw so much, I forgot about Sharpton.

[Indifferent Clox]

livingin america

[Afterlife]

How did Clox get in here??

[Indifferent Clox]

I meant to post in spanish, but I forgot how to do subtitles

[Jannettyzilla]

For the longest time, I thought what Y2J "got is not from Belize".

[redwings3431]

anyone else just see security in the background confiscating the "we've cena little too much" sign?

[redwings3431]

and apparently the guy who held it up too lol

[screech]

DQ in a Gauntlet?

[redwings3431]

HE TAPPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rob11]

anyone else just see security in the background confiscating the "we've cena little too much" sign?
Yes! You aren't even allowed to hold up anything anti-Cena anymore?

[Emperor Smeat]

DQ in a Gauntlet?

Must be the new DQ of the week rule. Next week might be if Cena's opponent's music ever plays , Cena wins by a DQ.

[screech]

Shit doesn't make sense.

[redwings3431]

nope...saw it coming...just funny to actually see security doing it on camera...pathetic

[Jannettyzilla]

That's a pretty standard DQ. What's the fuss?

[CSL]

Why does DQ in a gauntlet not make sense to you?

[Juan]

Where are all these n00bs coming from?

[Jannettyzilla]

Last time they had a gauntlet match it had a countout in it.

[Innovator]

Can't wait for a bloodless HIAC

[CSL]

Plural

[rob11]

nope...saw it coming...just funny to actually see security doing it on camera...pathetic
Well that explains the lack of anti-Cena signs.

[parkmania]

So, they're airing commercials for Bragging Rights here now. The logo is the word "Bragging" in Smackdown font over "Rights" in Raw font.

[Jannettyzilla]

Now, 2 DQs in a Gauntlet match is a little weak. (But it does make sense.)

[CSL]

Bring down the cellllllll

[screech]

HOW CAN CENA CONTINUE?!?!?!?!?

[screech]

I dunno, it just seems silly to have DQ finishes in Gauntlets.

[Jannettyzilla]

I know the slow walk is Orton's thing, but might he want to capitalize on the downed opponent....maybe?

[Indifferent Clox]

HE BETTER NOT LET HIM GO BOI! YOU BETTER MAN UP CENA!

[CSL]

At least hold your fucking head or something John

[screech]

Where's Legacy?

[jerichoholicninja]

This could get awesome.

[CSL]

That Cell is huge

[jerichoholicninja]

Interesting, but pretty weak.

[Indifferent Clox]

That cel is bigger, can't wait till someone crashers through!

[Afterlife]

So...the entirety of the Orton/Cena bit made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

[Skippord]

way to sell it John

[Jannettyzilla]

That was unforgiving steel! And next week, our host is an unforgiving Steeler! OH MY GOD!

[parkmania]

So, one Attitude Adjustment on top of the cell, and Orton's out for over a minute???

:boggle:

[Skippord]

Can't wait for a bloodless HIAC
3 bloodless HIAC's

[Afterlife]

way to sell it John

It ain't Hell of a Sell, I suppose.

[rob11]

way to sell it John
Cena could be hit by a car before his match and would come to the ring without a scratch.

[screech]

No more bumps off the Cell

[Emperor Smeat]

Makes no sense either how Cena is put through 2 submissions for a while and yet he's walking around like nothing happened on top of the cell.

[Skippord]

Orton looking like a huge bitch to an already injured Cena :cool:

[screech]

Makes no sense either how Cena is put through 2 submissions for a while and yet he's walking around like nothing happened on top of the cell.

He Cena.

[Cool King]

What a horrible Main Event.

A Gauntlet match that had 2 DQ's and what I can only assume was a No Contest seeing as Cena's music hit after he hit the Attitude Adjustment on Orton.

Also, during the Chavo/Masters vs Santino/Hornswoggle match, did Masters tag himself in or something to win the match? I never saw a tag between Masters and Chavo, yet, Masters won by using the Master Lock.

Though I'm not complaining. At least Chavo finally won a match for once.

[Emperor Smeat]

He Cena.

Doesn't mean he can't do a simple limp or at least try to pretend he's tired or something. Once Orton got into the ring, Cena basically acted like nothing happened before.

[Anybody Thrilla]

-I was happy with Al Sharpton's limited involvement. It could have been much worse. It was also pretty hilarious to hear him get booed.

-Jack Swagger and Evan Bourne seem to have a good chemistry together. Thier match was frustratingly short, but I think one day if they're given some time, it could be great.

-Chavo face turn? That seems even more boring than him getting his ass kicked by Hornswoggle. He didn't even tease it or anything. He was just being an asshole as early as backstage a few segments before the match. No sense.

[Afterlife]

The DQ's were fine. In fact, I expect Orton to get DQed as well, in a simple effort to "break" Cena before the ppv. But The idea that after all that Jerishow did, Orton was somehow afraid of Cena? That doesn't make sense. And orton had at least two opportunities -- BLATANT opportunities -- to boot Cena in the junk and continue the unrelenting beating started by Jerishow -- and instead, he climbs the cage. um...What? And then Cena follows, FUs him on the cell, and Orton can't get up.

What the fuck, guys? You were building toward Orton possibly injuring Cena, to have the "is Cena in competition shape" and "can he pull it off" for the ppv, and instead, you have... more apathy-riddled blandness.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I didn't think it went all that bad compared to the past few months. Probably the best RAW I've seen in a while. I guess I'll be generous, and award it a ‟C+”.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm not saying this is an inaccurate assesment, but it's a pretty sad state of affairs when the best show in a while is a high C.

[Anybody Thrilla]

This may have been the final straw for Cena for me tonight. He look like he took the damage of a cool gust of wind instead of the tag team fucking champions. How could....why would anybody think....what the fuck was the point....god, I don't even know what to say about it. Absolutely terrible ending. Raw started off with some potential, but that shit sorta killed everything else.

[abec]

hahahahahah at the title ahahahaha HULK HOGAN WE COMMING FOR U SUCKA

This. I accepted that Cena was always "beating the odds" and shit, but this was utterly ridiculous.

[RGWhat316]

RAW was a decent show, but the Cena crap is just nauseating. I'm not even saying I hate the guy cus of his wrestling ability, or his merchandise, or any of that other crap. I just hate that time and time again he can get his ass kicked for 20+ minutes, then walk around like nothing ever happened. You would think with how long he was in the Walls of Jericho, that he could have never climbed the cage! But nope, he climbed just fine using his perfectly non-Walls affected legs. I am absolutely tired of his inability to sell any kind of injury.

[Skippord]

it bugged me more that Cena lifted the Big Show after having his back "injured" by the Walls Of Jericho

[SammyG]

hahahahahah at the title ahahahaha HULK HOGAN WE COMMING FOR U SUCKA
***nigga***

[Afterlife]

it bugged me more that Cena lifted the Big Show after having his back "injured" by the Walls Of Jericho

The Walls AND Big Show, himself. The guy seriously doesn't seem to know how to sell anything. His involvement in events sours them because he negates the premise.
