[Beth Phoenix Fan]

im actually pumped for this monday night raw!

i will be watching it tonight on my sansui flatscreen and i will be keeping up on this thread too.

[EDWARD]

I'm kinda pumped too. I have this feeling that something big is going down.

[FourFifty]

Gonna try to multi-slack for Raw tonight.
Weeds and The Big C are on during the second hour (ouch!) and due to a "slight" mishap I'm down to only one tv. Gonna try to find a feed to watch it on my laptop while I use my desktop for the chat.
But that's not for a while now.

[teamXtremist]

ready for raw and nexus down to 5

[bigslimjj]

u torrent weeds tommorow.lol.that's what i do.shotime costs money and stuff.

[BizarroKing]

Anyone wanna guess who will appear?

[Xero]

Yeah.

http://www.tpww.net/forums/showthread.php?t=106084

Done.

[Anybody Thrilla]

And this is only two hours, right?

[Corndad]

Excited for this show. Curious how they play off the Skip Injury deal tonight as well.

[BizarroKing]

I am excited

[ClockShot]

Still wondering why this is a 2 hour shindig. Oh well.

Evening folks.

[Anybody Thrilla]

With all those stars in the main event, there will either be a lot of dumb segments or lots of matches with lower card guys, the latter of which I'm OK with.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Actually glad it's only 2 hours. 3 hour Raws tend to suck, even if they're milestone events. This way we should get more quality.

Even if they're doing the Nexus/WWE elimination tag again.

[RawRocks]

Over/Under on the number of times Michael Cole says either 900 or longest running TV Show?

[Anybody Thrilla]

I really enjoyed the Summerslam elimination match, though.

[Krimzon7]

hey all. what the fuck is up? and, if we have to see Bret, we better damn see HBK

[Anybody Thrilla]

Over/Under on the number of times Michael Cole says either 900 or longest running TV Show?

More like GET to see Bret. :mad:

[Anybody Thrilla]

Statement retracted. Didn't realize Smackdown was in the building as well.

[SOCCER LEGS]

cue the gong

[ClockShot]

A.J. Styles is Phenominal.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Did Bret ever wrestle Kane?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Wait, no, Kane debuted after Bret's departure I think.

[Krimzon7]

More like GET to see Bret.:roll:

[Anybody Thrilla]

Kane's been doing good stickwork lately.

[Anybody Thrilla]

fixed there buddy!:p

[SuperSlim]

[Krimzon7]

HOLY SHIT THIS CROWD IS HOT

[Aguakate]

Hahaha The Undertaker's Stare is AWESOME.

[RawRocks]

FUCK YOU MICHAEL COLE

[Krimzon7]

I oughta pop you one in the chops.

[Triple Naitch]

Did Undertaker and Kane go tanning together?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is it in black and white for anybody else? Cause for some strange reason this is the only channel in black and white for me.

Are you watching in Lo Def?

[Corndad]

I love they Boo the crap out of the GM thing

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Um... What?

[ClockShot]

Taker vs. Hitman.

First one to break a bone loses?

[Aguakate]

...Dude...Bret Hart vs The Undertaker...what MEMORIES.

[Krimzon7]

That. Is. Stupid.

[Anybody Thrilla]

don't get the thong twisted there abt, i'm just ribbing you a bit.

Oh, you thought I was seriously going to come and pop you one in the chops?

[AliG]

The hell?

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Anonymous GM with the flashing lights now the "Vickie Guerrero" of RAW since crowd booed a lot before Cole spoke.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I am worried about this main event.

[Snowden]

Bobby Heenan:love:

[Corndad]

Gotta love Heenan.

[Krimzon7]

Oh, you thought I was seriously going to come and pop you one in the chops?

You were so convincing!

[Corndad]

Cant go wrong with the Zamboni clip lol

[SuperSlim]

Are you watching in Lo Def?

Nah. It's just... for some reason this is the only channel that's doing it.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Jesus, those crowds were hot.

[dronepool]

Holy shit!! Kaval and Bryan!!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Did they just not show the beer bath because it's not PG?

[Hanso Amore]

Wait what the fuck?

[Corndad]

Are Kaval and Bryan a team??? The internet will explode

[BizarroKing]

DANIEL BRYAN AND KAVAL! They...got a jobber entrance?

[jerichoholicninja]

You shitting me with this team?

[Poit]

Kaval & Daniel Bryan? Awesome.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

INteresting match right here.

[Krimzon7]

Holy shit, Kaval and Daniel Bryan???

[ClockShot]

Low Ki and Danielson is a solid tag team.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Kaval and Daniel Bryan tagging together? Are they trying to make the internet explode?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Oh shit, this is about to be hot.

[BizarroKing]

If they job, I'll riot!

[Hanso Amore]

Is daniel Bryan Kavals pro now?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Bryan makes more sense than Laycool, I guess.

[Hanso Amore]

Kofi in new colors?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Bryan and Kaval in a tag team? It's all downhill from here after this</font> :(

[Krimzon7]

does anyone else suddenly want some McDonald's?

[Hanso Amore]

My brain is exploding right now I just dont get it

A triple threat tag on RAW?

[Corndad]

nice move there for the pin

[Anybody Thrilla]

"Opinions are like noses"

:EYESROLLINGOUTOFMYFUCKINGHEAD:

[Ermaximus]

Danielson and Kaval on a team? The IWC just collectively came in their pants.

[AliG]

IWC gonna riot!

[Anybody Thrilla]

I would have liked to see that go much longer.

[Hanso Amore]

Come on, give more time that that to you new major star, 3 rookie finalists, Kofi and bryan who are solid midcarders

[ClockShot]

LOL!

Awesome chant.

[ClockShot]

That case got some dents.

[BizarroKing]

OK I'm officially done watching now

[dronepool]

I would have liked to see that go much longer.

Yeah, I was hoping they use this match to show case their talent more.

[El Tigre]

Yeah, that ended way to early in my opinion. Also, did Jerry just quote Eminem before the break?

[glanville6]

Eve makes Melina look like a dog

[glanville6]

Yeah, that ended way to early in my opinion. Also, did Jerry just quote Eminem before the break?

Yep. Took me a minute to figure out what he was talking about

[RatedGSuperstar]

Well that's because Melina is a dog, but yeah, Eve looks nice.

[ClockShot]

I turn my head to look at this and the match is over.

Whatever.

[blak23]

if partners touch i thought it was a tag

[Domino]

Little late getting to the computer tonight...RAW's been meh so far.

[ClockShot]

Well this proves that the divas title has failed.

[blak23]

divas title, was it even a year old?

[glanville6]

Looks like the Divas belt is very short lived

[RawRocks]

Womens Championship Unification Match with the Lumberjills

[Ermaximus]

Thank you Jesus. 1 women's title is all we need.

[RatedGSuperstar]

lol, little soon for the original Nexus attack to be a classic Raw moment, isn't it?

[glanville6]

Ha, episode 889. Reminds me of the Conan O'Brien Tonight Show run. When his show was ending, he'd always go "way back" to a few months ago. Thats like revisiting 889.

[ClockShot]

You know, Nexus does look kinda weak without Skip.

[Cool King]

I hope to God they don't keep the Diva's Championship after Night Of Champions.

[Savio]

circle jerk?

[glanville6]

No Skip? I know he's hurt, but think they'd show or explain kind of quick.

[BizarroKing]

Well this proves that the divas title has failed.

Who's to say they aren't retiring the Women's title?

[Savio]

Missed the begining of the Nexus segment what happened?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I think Nexus are adding more members tonight</font>

[ClockShot]

Who's to say they aren't retiring the Women's title?

Women's title was all they needed in the first place.

[Anybody Thrilla]

No Skip? I know he's hurt, but think they'd show or explain kind of quick.

They DID explain. Tarver said he broke his ankle. No need to make it any bigger than it actually is.

[blak23]

better city...o idk new york maybe

[glanville6]

I was at this RAW. Frieken White Sox players there...

[Domino]

ROFL It said Septemeber.

FAIL.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Barker-Jericho feud.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Barker should have gotten a Codebreaker.

[glanville6]

They DID explain. Tarver said he broke his ankle. No need to make it any bigger than it actually is.

My bad. I was signing up for a football draft and missed it. Thanks

[Anybody Thrilla]

Has Jericho always had that wedding band tattoo?

[ClockShot]

Jericho's leaving again?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Jericho better resign... :(

[RawRocks]

Y2J leaving WWE

[Anybody Thrilla]

Fuck. Is he not re-signing?

[SOCCER LEGS]

fuck... no more Jericho for a while

[SOCCER LEGS]

unless they're sending the internet another swerve...

[Droford]

Hmm.

[ClockShot]

#1 contenders match for the tag titles.

Alright, I'll say it. Were there ANY contenders to begin with.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Crowning new #1 contenders? The Dudebusters better be in this match.

[Gone Mad]

No Jericho = no Raw for me.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Maybe Jericho is joining Nexus.

[Cool King]

I think Jericho is leaving. Fozzy has a tour coming up in October so he'll need time off to do that.

I have a tickets to see them in Edinburgh. :cool:

[RatedGSuperstar]

Poor people in Boston who had to listen to R-Truth's entrance through the break.

[ClockShot]

CAWDY'S BACK!

[Anybody Thrilla]

That's great, Cool King, but you do realize that Fozzy sucks, right?

[Innovator]

Dashing Cody Rhodes is awesome.

[Afterlife]

I hope he doesn't leave again.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

WTF?!?!?!

Why is it that the Dudebusters wins on Superstars, are a real tag team, yet are looked over in this match by a team that's thrown together.

Come on.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>God forbid the real teams like Hawkins & Archer or The Dudebusters actually get a shot</font>

[AliG]

RAW just got a lot more dashing.

[blak23]

mirror on the back of jacket nice

[Anybody Thrilla]

Looks like Drew can look at himself while he's plugging Cody from behind now. Sweet jacket.

[BizarroKing]

I don't think I'm a big fan of the DCR/McIntyre team

[glanville6]

No one is predicting a Morrison heel turn yet? IF Jericho is leaving, I guess someone has to fill heel shoes.

[Innovator]

Hmm I wonder who's winning this

[ClockShot]

Damn, DrewMac really got his push shot down, eh?

[Ermaximus]

Rodney, Pete Gas, and Joey Abs. Holy shit.

[glanville6]

PUPPIES!!!

[Innovator]

Why would you do that Truth? You could injure yourself, unless you properly stretched before hand.

Thats what's up.

[Anybody Thrilla]

In all fairness, neither of these teams are really 'thrown together'. Morrison and Truth have and obvious history, and Rhodes and McIntyre have formed what appears to be a business relationship over the past few weeks on Smackdown.

[AliG]

Double DQ

[Cool King]

When Striker talks about how dashing Cody Rhodes is, it's cool and he sounds like your normal colour commentator.

Though when Cole does it, he just sounds gay. :|

[RatedGSuperstar]

Just a token title shot to open NOC. Not expecting a real feud out of this.

I think I'll root for the JoMo heel turn.

[Domino]

Jesus Christ almighty.......I actually thought tonight's MNJ MIGHT be worth something.

[Next Big Thing]

What's with the short matches?

[blak23]

tag teams in wwe= randommidcarders not doing anything

[SOCCER LEGS]

did the nexus say anything about the absense of skip sheffield?

[Anybody Thrilla]

No one is predicting a Morrison heel turn yet? IF Jericho is leaving, I guess someone has to fill heel shoes.

I started saying he's turning heel when he started growing that beard. Simple wrestling logic, really.

[RawRocks]

well there is that clusterfuck

[Anybody Thrilla]

did the nexus say anything about the absense of skip sheffield?

Tarver said he broke his ankle.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Well that was dumb.

[Cool King]

That's great, Cool King, but you do realize that Fozzy sucks, right?

I quite like Fozzy. :'(

[Domino]

I started saying he's turning heel when he started growing that beard. Simple wrestling logic, really.

I recall saying the same thing...pay attention people.

[ClockShot]

Sweet Metroid commercial.

[Domino]

LOL at repetition.

[ClockShot]

Yeah, I really needed to know that stat, Vince.

Stupid fuck.

[Cool King]

I don't care about The Jersey Shore.

[Haze]

What the hell? Did Russo write tonights Raw or what?

[VSG]

Can't believe Lawler said Puppies again. Marked out crazy for it.

[RawRocks]

Doubt this will even be a match

[Gone Mad]

I sense Nexus attacking Bret and Taker here.

[SOCCER LEGS]

I don't care about The Jersey Shore.

king sure does

[blak23]

this raw is underwhelming

[Aguakate]

Hey, at least Bret has a sleeve-less shirt on...

...it's better than a full t-shirt.

[BizarroKing]

Well this night has done pretty fair to poor for a 900th episode.

[El Tigre]

Gotta say, I really like Undertaker's hooded look. Makes him seem like 'King Druid' or something.

[VSG]

My first Taker points :love:

[Domino]

Taker's entrance just literally took longer than the Divas and the tag match combined.

[Ermaximus]

Wish someone would start a "We want Blackman" chant.

[ClockShot]

Ah. Here's Bret's out.

[RatedGSuperstar]

"Who could forget the classic at the 1997 SummerSlam?"

Most of their audience wasn't alive then.

[Aguakate]

NeXus is really starting to wear out...

[blak23]

Taker's entrance just literally took longer than the Divas and the tag match combined.

lmao

[RawRocks]

this is stupid

[Aguakate]

Over-use of the Undertaker "disappearing act" tonight.

[glanville6]

I know you guys have said the whole "Morrison will turn heel with his beard" thing, but I was just talking about predicting it for tonight.

[Domino]

This is fucking retarded.

[Poit]

Do a Barrett Roll!

[BizarroKing]

WTF is going on?

[ClockShot]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Well, this confirms what we already knew - Cena wins to end the 900th Raw</font> :roll:

[Aguakate]

...They are KILLING the Undertaker "disappearing act"...after tonight it won't be the same...it used to be only 'Taker would do it, now even NEXUS does.

[SOCCER LEGS]

...They are KILLING the Undertaker "disappearing act"...after tonight it won't be the same...it used to be only 'Taker would do it, now even NEXUS does.

kane was doing it to assist the nexus with beating down the undertaker

[VSG]

My first Taker points :love:

Spoke too soon :nono:

[Emperor Smeat]

Its not like they could use Kane's red lights or fire since the crowd would be able to see the switching.

[Next Big Thing]

That was one of the worse segments the Undertaker has ever been involved in. What the fuck was that shit?

[Domino]

New WWF Action Figures!!! They're big enough to be talkin' tough!!!!!

[Ermaximus]

The only TLC match Kofi will ever win right there.

[blak23]

the segment wouldve been great if it was taker and kane minus nexus

[SOCCER LEGS]

chill with the negativity... yall are acting like stereotypical internet wrestling dorks

[Aguakate]

kane was doing it to assist the nexus with beating down the undertaker

Still, they took all fun out of it tonight...what WWE didn't manage to do in 18 years, they did in 3 minutes.

[SOCCER LEGS]

well look who's back on TV

[RawRocks]

The All-American American Jack Swagger!

[nrt4]

The Nexus attacks don't look as vicious without without Skip.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Swagger made the 900th Raw?

Screw it. I want a Del Rio appearance now.

[glanville6]

Miss this guy on RAW

[SOCCER LEGS]

The Nexus attacks don't look as vicious without without Skip.

agreed... they need someone in there to fill the void

[Domino]

YES!!! WE BEAT ALLY MCBEAL!!!

[glanville6]

Wishes more than anything that Edge and Christian would have had a 1 night reunion and a 10 second pose...maybe episode 1,000

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>WWE: We're not insecure about our place in current pop culture. Not at all!</font>

[Aguakate]

I'm almost 99% sure Jack Swagger will never become a SUPERSTAR like Randy Orton, Cena, Sheamus, etc...I mean, WWE gives him his opportunities, they give him exposure, but, I don't know...he doesn't seem to have SOMETHING...IDK.

YES!

ALBERTO DEL RIO!

[Gone Mad]

ALBERTO DEL RIO!!!

JBL be proud!

[RatedGSuperstar]

YES!!

ALBERTO!

[glanville6]

Yeah, but FRIENDS probably had better writing. Anyway, it is pretty cool that a 2 hour show outlasted a 30 minute show.


There is your ADR

[ClockShot]

Jesus, lay off the horn.

[BizarroKing]

How many interruptions are we going to have? But still cool to see Alberto

[blak23]

this raw is a clusterfuck

[Poit]

Alberto Del Rio is great.

[ClockShot]

Bourne could have escaped from that ankle lock.

[Gone Mad]

He kinda reminds me of Don Flaminco

http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/3017/1026518-punch_out_wii_wiki_prop_don_flamenco_01_super.png

[glanville6]

So when and where do you guys think we get Kurt Angle vs Jack Swagger?

I say 2011 TNA

[Aguakate]

I LOVE this guy...

..."Hoss-pee-tal".

[BizarroKing]

Random attack is random

[Domino]

So when and where do you guys think we get Kurt Angle vs Jack Swagger?

I say 2011 TNA

Uhh...never.

[jerichoholicninja]

I love River Al.

[Aguakate]

Call me crazy, but Del Rio, in mannerisms, gave some flashes of The Rock.

This guy is going to be big.

[Next Big Thing]

This night has been random as hell. Del Rio is definitely going to be a star though.

[glanville6]

Ha, abusing guys on RAW he won't see for months until the draft. So much sense.

[Afterlife]

Henry/Bourne tag team coming?

[Aguakate]

China crowd:

"WE NEED WRESTLE! WE NEED WRESTLE! WE NEED WRESTLE!"

[glanville6]

Uhh...never.

You really don't think so? I can see Angle coming back to WWE or Swagger eventually getting future endeavored.

[LoDownM]

I wonder how Mark Henry felt being the fattest guy in a country.

[Aguakate]

You really don't think so? I can see Angle coming back to WWE or Swagger eventually getting future endeavored.

I think it's more likely we will see Swagger in TNA than Angle in WWE.

For now, anyway...you KNOW they (by "they" I mean former WWE wrestlers) ALWAYS come back, whether to perform or the Hall of Fame...but they ALWAYS return...

...except if your name is Randy Savage.

[dronepool]

Call me crazy, but Del Rio, in mannerisms, gave some flashes of The Rock.

This guy is going to be big.

I said the same thing.


Alberto Del Rio =

Mexican Rock meets Pepe Le Pew

http://i38.tinypic.com/9ftxt2.jpg

[SOCCER LEGS]

angle is over 40 now and has a host of non-PG-friendly problems under his belt... i'd be surprised if we saw him in WWE anytime soon.

[bigslimjj]

Alberto Del Rio has a message for you. "Wink"

[Aguakate]

I wonder how Mark Henry felt being the fattest guy in a country.

The thing about these WWE international tours is that even the guys who are not main eventers will feel like STARS, because those fans will cheer for everybody.

In the US Mark Henry comes out, and it's like "Bah"...but in China, Mark Henry comes out, and he gets cheered like he's WWE Champion.

[bigslimjj]

I love River Al.LoL. Wouldn't it be Albert of the River?:rofl:

[ClockShot]

S.E.S. minus 1.

[glanville6]

Lets return to tv-14

CM Punk -"Serena got fired. She's an alcoholic druggie slut. We let her go"

[BizarroKing]

They gonna explain Serena's absence?

[RatedGSuperstar]

Might as well just call this Monday Night Smackdown with half the Raw roster in the Main Event.

[glanville6]

Hahahaha. Rock video promo maybe?

[Next Big Thing]

Will we see him?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

PUnk either needs to be bald or long and scraggly, he looks like a kid with short hair.

[RawRocks]

Rock appearance?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Well, a kid with a kick ass beard anyway.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

KATIE VICK!!!!!!!!!!!! *POPS*

[Ermaximus]

WOW!

[glanville6]

God I wish this guy was on RAW every week.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

LOL

Katie Vick reference = win.

[Poit]

Katie Vick mention?

[jerichoholicninja]

The Rock and Katie Vick...WHAT YEAR IS IT!?

[Cool King]

Katie Vick! :lol:

[Snowden]

I love Punk so much...

[RatedGSuperstar]

This may be the best Punk promo I've seen.

[ClockShot]

BRIDGEPORT!

[glanville6]

Sweet, CM Punk is like an Emmy presenter. Presenting clips looks to be his job, along with stand up comedy.

[Droford]

CM = 900

[Aguakate]

Nah...they're just teasing it.

By the way...it IS kinda weird that in the days leading up to this show, there were no "rumors" of The Rock appearing, Stone Cold, HBK...

...I guess fans have finally understood that having low expectations is the way to go...makes you less vulnerable to disappointment.
