Sup?

RAW Chat: http://www.tpww.net/forums/showthread.php?t=102392

[Lock Jaw]

I've got some more big announcements for tonight. Just you watch!

If you thought Sheamus vs Mark Henry was big, wait till you see what I have in store this week!

[Xero]

You're gonna make us wait for Blackman, aren't you?

:'(

[VSG]

Anonymous GM to open Raw? Click for HOLYSHITMARYSENUDES below.

[The Gold Standard]

I hope all this hype is not for Washington.

[Xero]

They should start integrating typos and have it revealed to be Adamle.

[VSG]

Titus O'Neil for Raw GM: If you got an invasion, make it a win!

[Beth Phoenix Fan]

HHH, HBK or JBL for GM of RAW!

[Ultra Mantis]

My final guess for the Raw GM:

http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2010/02/05/alg_nasa_gm_robot.jpg

[owenbrown]

!bitchslap John Cena and his fans

[Cool King]

My final guess for the Raw GM:

http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2010/02/05/alg_nasa_gm_robot.jpg

"Just Bring It".

[Xero]

SmackDown!

[bigslimjj]

Wade's busy right now putting hair care products in.He's a dapper dan man.

[glanville6]

I don't think the GM will be revealed today...

I saw Wizard of Oz was on the other day...and I can somehow see the GM being revealed similarly. Not necessarily with a dog finding the GM behind a curtain, but something similar.

Whoever the GM winds up being, I hope its long term.

[Xero]

I don't know, if it wound up being Hornswoggle I'd hope it isn't long term.

Let's just hope the GM doesn't fail a wellness test.

[Savio]

I hope the GM is Scott Hall

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Think we may figure out the face/heel alignment of the Raw GM based on how stiff these consequences are.

No way should it be revealed yet.</font>

[Xero]

I hope the GM is Scott Hall

On RAW, The Last Call is Hall's.

lol I could see that being an ad for RAW back in like 98.

[Cool King]

I don't know, if it wound up being Hornswoggle I'd hope it isn't long term.

Let's just hope the GM doesn't fail a wellness test.

Oh jeez, I never thought of Hornswoggle being a possibility. :(

[blak23]

to much emphasis is put on who the gm is doesnt really matter either way

[bigslimjj]

On RAW, The Last Call is Hall's.

lol I could see that being an ad for RAW back in like 98.

PG-NO DRUNKS ALLOWED

[Xero]

It does. It's either a wrestler (Hunter, Danielson), so it'll lead into a storyline, or it's a guy whose going to be a focal point in every RAW and some storylines. Either way, it's important.

[Xero]

PG-NO DRUNKS ALLOWED

Hall drinks root beer.

[blak23]

i agree with your first point if it's a popular wrestler but if its someone to the effect of teddy i wouldn't care i mean will anyone really care if Abraham Washington is GM i mean bret hart as GM was a very boring time imo

[blak23]

plus the only way a gm is ever an effective character is if its a heel. for example Eric Bischoff was a great GM

[The Gold Standard]

I actually think it would be great if it were JBL. We haven't heard anything from him in a long time and I think enough time has passed where he would get a good reaction. Not sure whether it would be a face or heel reaction, but I know it wouldn't be get off my TV reaction.

[Savio]

plus the only way a gm is ever an effective character is if its a heel. for example Eric Bischoff was a great GM
I liked Foley as Commissioner

[bigslimjj]

who ever it is.Id bet their with Nexus.since they hired them and all.Prolly Mitchell Cole.

[The Gold Standard]

I just really hope it is not a let down

[Xero]

Foley worked, but he's right. The authority in power almost always works best as a heel now.

[Xero]

I just really hope it is not a let down

With names like Shawn Michaels on the table there's a looong way to fall.

[Savio]

How long before we get "A very special episode" of Raw?

[blak23]

I liked Foley as Commissioner

yea foley was pretty funny as commish but it seems like that was where we lost the effective face authority

[Xero]

How long before we get "A very special episode" of Raw?

When Punk becomes GM.

[The Gold Standard]

With names like Shawn Michaels on the table there's a looong way to fall.

That is the problem. People throw out these crazy names and get my hyped up, when I know it is not going to be them.

[The Gold Standard]

When Punk becomes GM.

If Punk was on Raw he would be perfect. Especially after the injury.

[Xero]

On a very special episode of Monday Night RAW, CM Punk becomes GM and Mark Henry falls ill to the dangers of drinking. Can his buddies pull him out of his funk?

With special appearances by Flash Funk:

And his son, Hand "Lefty" Henry:

:y:

[owenbrown]

why the hell am I the only one in chat?

[bigslimjj]

The new G.M.....Mordecai,with his assistant Glacier.

[blak23]

why the hell are you bitchin about it?

[The Gold Standard]

I know I am going to be let down

[Lock Jaw]

I like how I can reveal myself as the anonymous GM, but due to the nature of the internet, I am not being taken seriously. I mean, I've been openly admitting to it for over two weeks, and not even Ryan Clark has reported it yet. :lol:

[blak23]

I know I am going to be let down

c'mon it's not that bad friend think of the good times

[Xero]

Xero might have to report something.

[blak23]

whats news?

[The Gold Standard]

I like how I can reveal myself as the anonymous GM, but due to the nature of the internet, I am not being taken seriously. I mean, I've been openly admitting to it for over two weeks, and not even Ryan Clark has reported it yet. :lol:

If it is really you, I do not know what I would do.

[Schlomey]

I called Abraham Washington as GM for months now. Just waiting for my payoff........

[VSG]

why the hell am I the only one in chat?

Chat whore! I will be there in 15 mins.

[The Gold Standard]

I called Abraham Washington as GM for months now. Just waiting for my payoff........

I think he would be such a let down though.

[jerichoholicninja]

Does Wade still wear his coat with a rose on it anymore? I don't think I've seen it since about week 3 of NXT Season 1.

[VSG]

Wade Barrett is in the ring, Xero!

[RatedGSuperstar]

Wade's in the house!

[blak23]

black cena is like black goku

[The Gold Standard]

I actually think Wade Barrett is the total package, no not Luger, and if he won the World Title soon, I would not care.

[owenbrown]

it's time for vintage episodic Raw

[blak23]

looks like this storyline will last a while

[VSG]

Oh my! They are going to refer to Steamboat? Really??

[ClockShot]

Oh boy. They gotta bring up Steamboat.

[Johnny Vegas]

i'm loving every second of it

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Sheffield looks weird with facial hair</font>

[Krimzon7]

link please?

[Londoner]

is this email shit still going on?

[ClockShot]

SKYNET CONTROLS THE LIGHTS!

[owenbrown]

what the fuck with the lights flickering?

[teamXtremist]

i wanna bitch slap cole

[Londoner]

its the email era

[owenbrown]

Vintage Mitchell Cole has mics on his laptop?

[teamXtremist]

the champ is here hoora

[ClockShot]

So what. We got a 2 hour long locker room brawl going down tonight.

*yawn*

[glanville6]

When is the last time any of these guys competed on TV? I think its time to put them in the ring. Start tonight, Cena vs Barrett. Lumberjacks.

[blak23]

so they are just go be chased out

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm interested in hearing what the "bigger picture" is</font>

[Londoner]

Fair fight = Cena wins!

[teamXtremist]

lol at heels

[jerichoholicninja]

Say what now?

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

[blak23]

wtf

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Whoa wtf</font>

[glanville6]

Interesting twist...I guess

[blak23]

wheres nexus

[teamXtremist]

wheres nexus

ran away like ho's

[Emperor Smeat]

Anyone noticed how Jericho was in the 2nd group to sneak attack Cena's peeps.

He usually shows up when Nexus or another group wants to sneak attack a WWE group.

[The Gold Standard]

HAHA Jericho missed the pat on the back

[glanville6]

Robot Orton

[teamXtremist]

orton looks silly with the faces

[Loose Cannon]

lol Orton just grabs the mic and the crowd pops. fucking definition of over

[blak23]

unless............we have to

[Krimzon7]

Unless we have too

[owenbrown]

time from an email from the GM bot 5000

[ClockShot]

Orton should be a neutral party in all this, IMO.

[Loose Cannon]

I like the way they seperated the locker room.

[Londoner]

boo's for the email :D

[glanville6]

Haha light flicker heat

[teamXtremist]

now the lights lol fuck this instant messaging shit

[blak23]

this shit is funny

[teamXtremist]

barrett v cena in a hand shaking match rotflmao

[RatedGSuperstar]

The lights flickering clearly means the GM is the Undertaker. :shifty:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol a truce</font>

[Krimzon7]

call a truce?

[Londoner]

oh ffs

[glanville6]

Aw man, I thought my Wade Barrett John Cena lumberjack match was happening...

Perhaps a heel GM will be revealed soon

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>the GM writes fast as hell. Has to be Cole I guess</font>

[The Gold Standard]

I am getting sick of this.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wasted opportunity for the message to be "No".

[Sixx]

WHATS HAPPENING!?

[Londoner]

:eek:

[teamXtremist]

marking out for scsa

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Austin?</font> :eek:

[glanville6]

Those teasing sons of bitches

[blak23]

fucking serious?

[ClockShot]

It ain't Austin, I can tell you that.

[The Gold Standard]

AUSTIN?!?!?!?!

[Loose Cannon]

def not Austin

[Krimzon7]

nice tease..

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Bet it's just a red herring</font>

[owenbrown]

lol

[Loose Cannon]

IT'S NOT AUSTIN

[blak23]

stone cold's twitter is probly overheating

[Londoner]

Hmmmmm, damn those cunts making me want to watch more of raw now.

[glanville6]

I don't see it being Austin- just based on character. His character wouldn't be shy and hide behind a computer

[RatedGSuperstar]

Next e-mail is going to end with "If you smell what the GM is cooking"

[RawRocks]

so its either Stone Cold or The Rock

[Sixx]

WHO SHOOK HANDS WITH WHO AAARGH?

WHAT TRUCE? AARGH?

[teamXtremist]

I don't see it being Austin- just based on character. His character wouldn't be shy and hide behind a computer

why bring it up if hes not involved in any way

[Londoner]

Heel HHH is returning. :shifty:

[Krimzon7]

What if the GM was Eugene? He was a gimmick stealling MOFO...

[blak23]

they have really thought out this storyline. well done raw writers

[Providence Peep]

So, now that we know the GM is NOT Austin, we can cross him off the list.
Maybe we'll get more hints about who it ISN'T as the show goes on...

[owenbrown]

TONIGHT WADE BARRETT AND JOHN CENA CALL A TRUCE BY PLAYING BACKGAMMON ON EPISODIC VINTAGE RAW!

[Loose Cannon]

so its either Stone Cold or The Rock

:|

[Londoner]

wwe have their own youtube channel now?!

[teamXtremist]

slow mo fucking rules

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol Morrison getting his entrance even though he was already in the ring when they went to commercials</font>

[Emperor Smeat]

Next e-mail is going to end with "If you smell what the GM is cooking"

Next one after that better be "I did it for The Rock"

[Krimzon7]

JOMO!!!!

[ClockShot]

Pat Sajak and Vanna White have arrived.

[teamXtremist]

dont touch her cole u fucking bitch

[RatedGSuperstar]

IT'S A NEEEEEEEEEEEW DAAAAAAAAAAAAY

And Maryse looks smoking in that dress.

[Cool King]

What's with Cole saying "I've just received an email from the General Manager" everytime?

I think we already know it's the GM when the lights flicker and we hear the "Alert Noise" from the laptop on the "General Manager Podium"....

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Seriously wondering what the "bigger picture" is that Nexus was talking about, big enough that they had to take out Vince.

Maybe they ARE waiting for Bryan to return. Or HHH. Imagine if it was Shane behind the whole thing and the whole bit about him leaving WWE was a work.</font> :shifty:

[VSG]

What if the GM was Eugene? He was a gimmick stealling MOFO...

I expressed the same thoughts in the chat. Kudos, sir!

Although I was joking :-\

[jerichoholicninja]

Maryse's inability to formulate a sentence somehow makes her hotter.

[Providence Peep]

Heal the world, Maryse
Make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race, there are people dying, if you care enough for the living make it a better place for you and for me

[RatedGSuperstar]

lol, Maryse is so money as a heel.

[teamXtremist]

sweet dreams john

[ClockShot]

A super duper thumb to the eye.

[Testicle]

Ted is not nearly over enough considering what the WWE has put into him lately.

[teamXtremist]

just when u thought dibiase couldnt get more over

[Krimzon7]

I hate to see Morrison lose...AND THEY'RE NOT JAY Z AND BEYONCE!

[teamXtremist]

future tag team champs coming up

[Londoner]

Interesting Raw so far. :)

[ClockShot]

Wow. All that music and video just to hype this truce.

Please.

[blak23]

donald trump is the mastermind

[owenbrown]

Shut up Cole

[Cool King]

lol Santino.

[The Gold Standard]

Maybe it is The Rock. I mean he is Hollywood now.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>OMGZ they didn't go out of their way to not show Bryan during the Cena/Barrett truce vid!!!1!!!</font>

:shifty:

[Providence Peep]

Maryse gave Morrison back his fur jacket when someone told her they're in Nashville, TN and it's 88 degrees outside!

[Johnny Vegas]

Do like the Dibiase/Maryse thing. Like a Bonnie & Clyde thing. Can lead to championship wins, get her even more heat, get him even more heat, etc. It would be cool if they were the self claimed Mr. & Mrs. WWE." or some gay shit.

[ClockShot]

donald trump is the mastermind

Mind you, Donald Trump was the guy who gave us the guest hosts.

:eek:.........:roll:

[BizarroKing]

Why would WWE tease us with Austin?

Maryse does look hot in that dress

They're still showing that clip of the gang attack on Cena and not edit out Danielson?

[Emperor Smeat]

Still don't like how it seems the whole Nexus storyline is about Cena and Barrett/Nexus when Barrett and the Nexus every week explain they are doing attacks and stuff for other reasons.

[nrt4]

I hope they hype it up as Austin but then disappoint and make it someone of equal or less stature. I mean I don't want to see a PG Stone Cold. That would be terrible. He'd have to revert to his most PG gimmick, that being probably The Hollywood Blondes

[Providence Peep]

Anyone in the WWE Universe who thinks Austin is the anonymous GM is a MORON.

[owenbrown]

Heel Khali again? GTFO

[RawRocks]

ok ok wait a minute

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Thought Regal was gonna bring out Zeke</font> :(

[RawRocks]

i thought Ranjin walked off on Khali

[Providence Peep]

WrestleMania 27 Main Event: The Viper VS. The Cobra :shifty:

[Krimzon7]

Santino is awesome

[ClockShot]

Zzzzzzzzzz.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Would've been nice to still have Burchill around for tag matches like this, but they're just trying to continue 2 stories in the same 2 minutes.

[teamXtremist]

fuck rangin sing

[Johnny Vegas]

lol this could be a faction right here

[The Gold Standard]

I don't think there is anyway I will cheer for Khali

[jerichoholicninja]

Gotta say Khali has some pretty sweet music.

[RatedGSuperstar]

THE NEW ODDITIES! I FUCKING CALLED IT LAST WEEK!

[Johnny Vegas]

LOL that fucking music during the Steamboat update

[ClockShot]

A/V department has been working overtime.

[Providence Peep]

LOL that fucking music during the Steamboat update

From the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack??? :|

[PullMyFinger]

While I like Nexus invasion, it doesn't have that badass cool factor. Honestly the nWo had a completely different feel to it.

They just seem like a bunch of green guys out there invading.

[BizarroKing]

WTH kind of music was that during the Steamboat update preview? Muhammad Hassan's return theme or something?

[BizarroKing]

While I like Nexus invasion, it doesn't have that badass cool factor. Honestly the nWo had a completely different feel to it.

They needed Barret last week maybe.

[owenbrown]

who booked this crap?

[Providence Peep]

WTH kind of music was that during the Steamboat update preview? Muhammad Hassan's return theme or something?

Track 6 on the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack

[BizarroKing]

lol WWE is always on:

-WWE universe
-facebook
-twitter
-and now, youtube!

[PullMyFinger]

I wish King was a heel commentator again.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Oh look, more excuses to skimp on content</font>

[VSG]

Can't wait till Martha Hart sues WWE for this as well, surely Steamboat had a head injury and Owen hart died of one in a WWE ring... GASP!

[Providence Peep]

The "time honored tradition" of passing the pw torch

[PullMyFinger]

Wow Michael "Pretty Sexy" Hayes got fat LOL

[Johnny Vegas]

lol Tarver is so bad ass dude

[El Tigre]

I still give props to steamboat for taking that beating. He's a real stand up guy and one of greats. They fact that he tries to fight back so valiantly only adds to my respect of him.

[The Gold Standard]

57 is not old at all

[RatedGSuperstar]

WOOOOOO's for Double A...nice.

[Krimzon7]

Hey Fella, cry me a river fella

[BizarroKing]

This seems like a random convo lol

[PullMyFinger]

lolol I'm sorry but this is just ridiculous promo, I can't take this old hag speech seriously

[CSL]

Why have I just tuned into RAW to find Arn Anderson dressed as somebodies drunk uncle at a wedding?

[Krimzon7]

Did he say an empty butthole? It would be cool if Sheamus was in with Nexus

[Johnny Vegas]

pretty good promo

[BizarroKing]

Oh boy...Divas Title Match! :D................:n:

[Testicle]

Is there a main event match tonight or what?

I guess the 'truce' thing is their big draw.

[Johnny Vegas]

would've been cooler if AA referenced back to the nWo back in '96

[Testicle]

Did he say an empty butthole? It would be cool if Sheamus was in with Nexus

Lol, I thought it sounded more like 'butthole' than 'mudhole' too.

[PullMyFinger]

The coolest thing would be for the roster to be getting destroyed by the Nexus....Cena comes out suddenly to a huge pop to clean house, only he just starts doing the AA on Raw wrestlers, being revealed as the leader of Nexus.

But then again, just my take. A bit ripped off from nWo formation, but it would make people hate Cena.

[RatedGSuperstar]

The Divas title might be the most defended championship in WWE right now. Seems like there's one every week.

[PullMyFinger]

Why have I just tuned into RAW to find Arn Anderson dressed as somebodies drunk uncle at a wedding?

:rofl:

[blak23]

great white lol

[RawRocks]

I am predicting Sheamus gets jumped tonight

[BizarroKing]

Am I the only one that misses Cena as a heel?

Also, wow remember Fatso Yokozuna?

[Cool King]

Lol, I thought it sounded more like 'butthole' than 'mudhole' too.

[ClockShot]

I'LL BE YOUR HERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Providence Peep]

Nobody ever talks about WWE 24/7 anymore...... is it still around?

[PullMyFinger]

LOL The Lex Express

[El Tigre]

Hell Yeah Yokuzuna!... Oh wait, this is a Lugor Promo

[CSL]

lol @ some of the singlets the jobbers would wear in the early 90's

[Testicle]

Oh ffs, a Lex Luger video package.

[RatedGSuperstar]

LEX LUGER EMBODIED THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA.

[ClockShot]

Killings gets the jobber entrance. Makes my night.

[The Gold Standard]

I LOVE THE MIZ

[Krimzon7]

Lex Express...full of cocaine and hookers

[AliG]

lol @ Miz!

[BizarroKing]

http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slideshows/894/slideshow_89481/display_image.jpg

AND RAPPING MIZ=WIN

[blak23]

that was funny

[Krimzon7]

goddam i miss the Dirtsheet.

[RatedGSuperstar]

This might be as good as Kurt Angle rapping against John Cena.

[CSL]

Miz is great

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

GREAT!

[PullMyFinger]

The Miz is legit

[El Tigre]

Can't deny it. Every week Miz is seeming more and more like world championship material. I think it's only a matter of time.

[CSL]

That looked nice.

[ClockShot]

Did the ref throw up the X?

[blak23]

ok?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Really hope Miz wins MITB</font>

[ClockShot]

He had to say "the truth hurts" line?

[Krimzon7]

Miz Janettey my ass...He could toatally win MITB with his work lately. He makes me belive

[BizarroKing]

How many matches have we had in the span of this hour?

[Londoner]

That's one thing i hate about wwe today, back in the attitude era no matter what whoever was last on screen would have their theme played. Now its just silent alot of the time. :mad:

[BizarroKing]

Miz Janettey my ass...He could toatally win MITB with his work lately. He makes me belive

Who compared Miz to Farty Janetty?

[ClockShot]

How many matches have we had in the span of this hour?

3. I think.

[blak23]

now raw is finally picking up

[Emperor Smeat]

:rofl:

Edge: "Let's have a moment for R-Truth. He only knew one song but did it well".

[Providence Peep]

How many matches have we had in the span of this hour?

In case you haven't figured it out, Raw is more Sports Entertainment than wrestling. Smackdown has more wrestling.

[RatedGSuperstar]

LMFAO Edge..."He only knew one song, but he did it so well..."

[BizarroKing]

Talk The Talk match: The Cutting Edge vs The Peep Show.

BOOK IT!
