[Droford]

So they flew Kahli all the way back from India for this?

[The Jayman]

he looks like a deformed Sid

[Krimzon7]

I thought Khali was going back to India to die???

Taker called Runjin Singh and told him to tell Khali to get his ass here if he has to cut his vacation short!

[parkmania]

Anything can happen in the Double-Double E.

[Krimzon7]

[Krimzon7]

[Emperor Smeat]

Undertaker vs Swagger was really good considering how short of time they had to prepare for it.

[Krimzon7]

MAJOR BOTCH THERE KING

Seriously...Edge versus Christian

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol this is the second time they've run through the card. Definitely stalling for time. Not that I blame them this week.</font>

[Londoner]

Undertaker vs Swagger was really good considering how short of time they had to prepare for it.

Yup agreed.

Edge v Jericho steel cage. :cool:

[ClockShot]

Let's see. SES vs. HHH/Rey/(insert diva here?)

[Londoner]

So what now, HHH stays there in silence for four mins?

[ClockShot]

Welp, there goes Frank the audio guy.

[The Jayman]

poor Frank

[Londoner]

Welp, there goes Frank the audio guy.

Nah Franks actually there, i thought anyway?

[parkmania]

No, CS. Punk/Gallows/Jericho vs HHH/Mysterio/Edge.

[Emperor Smeat]

Looks like Triple H wasn't too concerned over a random guy getting beating up. Maybe he never liked him or is one of those "Red Shirts" workers of the WWE :shifty:

[Droford]

Sheamus looks like he belongs on some preppy high school show

[Londoner]

Sheamus looks like he belongs on some preppy high school show

Is his gimmick just to look stupid?

[thedamndest]

They should start keeping one main eventer back in America when they do an overseas tour in case something like this happens again. Like the guy who is like thirty down the line of succession and has to sit in the bomb shelter when the president gives the State of the Union.

[parkmania]

"I just kicked Stan!"

[Londoner]

booooooooo rey boooooooooooooo

HHH is chopped liver now?

[Providence Peep]

Do you guys think the present circumstances will hurt the ppv buyrates?

[Londoner]

if they get their in time then i think if anything it'll help the buyrates, think we get it for free here.

[parkmania]

I doubt it. It will almost certainly increase the hits wwe.com recieves though.

[thedamndest]

I wonder if Edge and Mysterio are talking about that time they were tag champs.

[Providence Peep]

From WWE.com:

Attention, WWE Universe!

Unfortunately, most of Monday Night Raw's Superstars and Divas were stranded in Europe due to the volcanic eruption in Iceland, and unable to attend Raw live from the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J. However, the show went on, with Triple H and the Superstars of Friday night SmackDown - including The Undertaker, CM Punk, Rey Mysterio and World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger - invading Monday night.

If you would like a ticket refund for Monday's live show, you can obtain one starting Tuesday at noon at the Izod Center box office only. This refund period for the WWE Universe will last until noon on Friday, April 23.

The Izod Center box office hours are from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. daily.

Edge talked about his tag title reign with Benoit

[Providence Peep]

Was Jack Doan the only ref there tonight?

[The Jayman]

according to Jericho, Mysterio is nothing

[parkmania]

C'mon Jericho, kick his leg out of his leg!

[OssMan]

If you just add the chat link I'll be happy.

http://www.justin.tv/juan_tpww_v11

Not a huge deal, as I'm going to RAW anyway.

Splurged on the ticket, lol.
what

[OssMan]

I am watching MONDAY NIGHT RAW right now

[Innovator]

All these guys are working pretty hard considering they spent 47 straight hours traveling

[The Jayman]

vintage HHH

[OssMan]

How can anyone even fall for the 619 anymore

[erickman]

they all job to the game

[The Jayman]

How can anyone even fall for the 619 anymore

a drop toehold

[parkmania]

Not a horrible go home show, all things considered.

[The Jayman]

goodnight everybody

[Providence Peep]

Not a horrible go home show, all things considered.

Strongly agree :y:

[Loose Cannon]

did Edge get legit hurt?

[Emperor Smeat]

Crowd seemed to be very active and not dull or quiet during the show.

Could it be because of using Smackdown wrestlers on a RAW show or the place ended up being a good location for a good crowd?

Jersey has always been a hot spot for WWE.

[Fat Aaron]

A few quick thoughts...
1. Swagger vs Taker was very enjoyable match. Swagger looked good, except where were the red white and blue "Angle" tights? I love those.
2. Every segment with Macgruber was fucking retarded. Horribly stupid. Except for the one with Jericho. Cuz Jericho is freaking awesome.
3. A decent RAW, especially considering the circumstances. This guest host shit needs to end now though.
4. Michael Cole sucks. He sucks every week though. They need something to change with the announcers. Maybe in the draft they can mix and match the announcers too. That would be great.

[Jordan]

Wow I am shocked at the negativity for Macgruber, I thought that shit was priceless, blowing up R-Truth and the smoking tennis shoes, I was dying. To each their own, but I'd say Macgruber is my favorite guest host so far, fucking hilarious. My girlfriend enjoyed him and she hates wrestling.

Also I though the guys were top not tonight and worked hard, all of the matches were good. It was a great surprise to have Undertaker face Swagger, really liked that match.

Ryan Philipe was horrible and should be executed.

[Lock Jaw]

MAJOR BOTCH THERE KING

Seriously...Edge versus Christian

So he DID say it! Thought my mind was playing tricks on me.

I heard "Edge vs Christian" and my head literally snapped up from my computer to the TV and I was like "WHAAAAAAAT?!! AWWWWEEEESOME BUT WEIRD".

But then it said Edge vs Chris Jericho, so I convinced myself I misheard it.

He said it. I completely marked for a milisecond. then I was like WTF? No build? A match like that will deserve a damn video very similar to the hardy boyz matches. Then I realised that I was watching to shitty commentators butcher a damn show.

[Xero]

So just got back from the tapings (fucking hour in traffic). Thought it was a damn good show with what they had to work with. Most people there hated it and a good chunk left after Taker/Swagger.

There was no dark match.

Superstars Spoilers:

Yoshi Tatsu beat Zack Ryder with a top rope spinning wheel kick. Slow to start but decent match overall.

Morrison beat Carlito with a rebound kick. Good match.


Liked the opening segment (lol at the horse reference to Lilian) and marked hard for Punk. I was one of the VERY few supporting Punk. Liked that. Punk's a fucking heat magnet.

Thought the finish to McIntyer/Hardy was fucking stupid. Maybe it came off better on TV but all I saw was a trip off the middle rope.

MacGruber segment was ugh. Pyro blinded me.

Taker/Swagger was okay I suppose. I had called Taker/Swagger when I saw they put down tarp for pyro. It killed the crowd, no one wanted to see Taker be taken apart like that. Match never should have happened. Big pop for Taker winning then like a quarter of the crowd left. lol

It was during the Swagger/Taker match that a friend texted me that RVD had won the title. I was spreading this news.

Khali/MacGruber vs Kozlov = :|

Six man main event was pretty damn entertaining. Enjoyed it.

Triple H, during commercial before everyone else came out for the main event, cut a promo about Shawn watching at home and told Taker that he "had something to prove".

After the six man Hunter called out Taker. They were about to start the match, but Punk, Gallows and Serena were laying on the outside and attacked. Punk and Gallows took some finishers and then out came McIntyer, Ryder, Jericho and a few others to take Chokeslams and Pedigrees. Finished after Hunter Pedigreed the ref and Taker hit Hunter with a Tombstone.

Enjoyed it, glad I went. Again, people seemed disappointed. Gonna guess the lot of them just wanted to see the RAW talent.

[Thunder Savage Go]

I've been fighting a headcold and i fell asleep during the middle of the show. Who needs Nyquill when you've got HHH in the main event

Yeah i was there too, i was actually pretty excited to see what they threw together in like a day. I thought it was one of the better Raws of late, even though it was Smackdown Accompanied by Triple H lol. Forte was funny, i enjoyed him also he got the wrestlers names right so thats a plus :)

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, I thought this was one of the better Raws in some time. Go figure that only two Raw guys were involved.

Two good matches (Swagger/Taker and the main event) and I liked the MacGruber segments. Then again, I love MacGruber on SNL so if you weren't familiar with him the segments would probably be annoying.

Zack Ryder jobbing on Superstars :( I don't mind as much since it's Superstars (where the faces win more often than not), and I like Yoshi...but man I hope Zack gets drafted next week. Dude was money on ECW and has gone nowhere on Raw (as I expected would be the case as soon as he "signed" with Raw).</font>

[Savio]

Who was the other raw guy?

[Evil Vito]

Who was the other raw guy?

<font color=goldenrod>Kozlov</font>

[Innovator]

I wonder if Ryan Phillippe thought as he was walking down with Khali, "Where did my life go wrong?"

[The Jayman]

I wonder if Ryan Phillippe thought as he was walking down with Khali, "Where did my wife go wrong?"

[bostonbill41]

if they get their in time then i think if anything it'll help the buyrates, think we get it for free here.

Classy move by WWE to offer refunds for lsat night. Dont think the NFL or Broadway would have done that. Who knows how it effects the upcoming PPV. if the providers plug it enough during the week they should be OK

[ImpactPlayer365]

I dont understand how this is one of the best RAW's some of you have seen in awhile. Baffling
