WWE RAW 1.23.17 + Modern Pro-Wrestling was born 33 years ago today *OFFICIAL THREAD*
 

If only we were to see Hulkster return tonight, timing would be perfect.

I think if Hogan and Angle were the two surprise entries in the Rumble, coupled with the guys already in, it would be one of the best ever. Hope it happens...

Kurt Angle, if anyone is going to return, needs to clean some fuckin house.

GTFO of here with HH winning the rumble. There isn't a marionette team in this world which could pull it off. An appearance, sure, winning, goddamn no.

I'm hoping the Raw creative monkeys pull out all the stops and make this a good pre-rumble show tonight.

I'll stick around for as long as I can. Either until I lose interest, or the power goes out. Getting slammed by the nor'easter right now.

Can't see how Hogan in the Rumble would ever work. Like the Iron Sheik at WM17 I doubt he's physically capable of taking an over the top rope bump.

on the subject of Kurt Angle, his scheduled indy apperances this weekend have been canceled . Perhaps an omen?

definitely

Can anyone PM a good stream for raw?

If Big Show is in the Rumble then you know Shaq will be in

The big dog is in the dawg pound

"Most of the crowd is cheering Roman, only the boos are audible"
-The CyNick

That shark cage stipulation still makes me giggle.

Just ridiculous.

Roman could have at least warned about spoilers

Wearing a title where it belongs around the waist.

Jericho off his promo game tonight

It's not terrible for guys to have a title over their shoulders but I don't like it. I think perhaps 2 of the worst offenders were MNM, who wore the old SD! brand WWE Tag Team Championships with one of the straps in their pants. So disgusting on multiple levels.

Should I be taking notes for Tipsters?

Gets even more ridiculous when the main reason why is because supposedly Mattell recently released a new WWE toy set with the cage and this is how its getting promoted. Released it around the time of the last Takeover event and WWE wanted to also promote it for their main shows.

Mick should stipulate K.O. to be inside the shark cage tonight during the U.S. Championship match.

GLORIOUS!

I knew that. I think I said that cage is getting a lot of attention I should buy stock in the manufacturer.

A toy company is better.

He just PHONED IT IN, MAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNN!

WWE is going to have a hard time editing out the Roman boos/ KO & Y2J cheers this week

Roode wins, Nakamura to the A-Show (Smackdown), right?

They legally should have won the belts. The first ref didn't make the call in time.

omg they are doing this singles match again

god

6 ain't enough I need (to start at) 5

Singles match.

I love the Sheasaro entrance, which is big progress for me as Sheamus was on the DO NOT WATCH list for several years. He has won me hashtag over since teaming up with the Swiss Superman.

Cole mentioning Gallows & Anderson's New Japan history?!

i h8 this s0 much

unwatchable

feels they have opened with some version of this match for like the past 7 weeks

Michael Cole just repeatedly said "Gallows is a huge man".

Sigh. Turned on Raw for the like 5th match In a row/per week with these people.

Who's going to Raw in Chicago? Tickets are only 20 dollars! So not going. Is Smackdown in Chicago too? I would go to that.

Can't believe RR will start at 5

They learned Zero from WM

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR SUNDAY?!?!?!
