I’m watching tonight for Cenexus, Goldust, and who RAW got from SmackDown in place of Edge.

I’m watching tonight for Cenexus, Goldust, and who RAW got from SmackDown in place of Edge.

Originally thought to be CM Punk but some are saying the Dudebusters. Honestly I am happy with either being added to RAW as 1) I love Punk and he needs a change 2) The Dudebusters make me smile and the RAW tag division is somewhat a lame duck.

[Schlomey]

And the Cena/Nexus rivalry is definitely the most interesting thing on Wrestling TV. The Goldust/Dibiase love triangle is also very intriguing and is very nice to see Goldy working TV again.

[Savio]

[Schlomey]

should have put 2 lame ducks there to make a proper tag team..



also


Evan Bourne needs shoulder surgery so he is out. SUCKY NEWS.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Loved how they handled the Cena rebellion possibility. Thought they were just gonna ignore that. Also loved how angry our wrestling forum got when Cena attacked Tarver.

[Next Big Thing]

It's funny because Tarver supposedly got written off to take care of a groin injury. After watching it again I couldn't help but think that those slams on the stairs probably aren't helping.

I am definitely intrigued by the Cena Nexus deal. Not only is there the intrigue with Cena and Barrett. There's also a little bit of suspense with Otunga trying to assert himself in the pecking order.

Love the fact that Golddust is back on t.v. in a legit role. Not the biggest fan of Dibiase, but Goldie makes it work.

Hell, I might even watch 1 minute of the Divas if it's LayCool and Natalya.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It was a pretty weak bodyslam to the stairs. Maybe Cena was probably trying not to injure him further.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Your official thread has a better name.

[Mr. C]

Originally thought to be CM Punk but some are saying the Dudebusters. Honestly I am happy with either being added to RAW as 1) I love Punk and he needs a change 2) The Dudebusters make me smile and the RAW tag division is somewhat a lame duck.

Jack Swagger could go to RAW and start a feud with Daniel Bryan for the United States Championship.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Given how promo heavy Raw is, I really do hope Punk is the trade choice.

[Schlomey]

Big mark for both. I would LOVE that as Swagger has been a joke since his title reign began...sadly.


edit: this was to Rated R

[XL]

Well Punk hasn't exactly done anything since losing to Big Show, so...

[Schlomey]

Yeah all the more reason to move him around.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

But I guess your best wasn't goooooood enough

[Schlomey]

worked better in the closed thread :D

[The Gold Standard]

I am very excited for Raw tonight. I am really enjoying the Nexus/Cena storyline.

[MoFo]

Given how promo heavy Raw is, I really do hope Punk is the trade choice.



Yeah, was thinking about that. With Jericho gone for the time being it makes sense to give all that promo time to Punk.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Lol why were the threads merged? Was there so much compelling discussion that it couldn't be left behind?

[Destro 4.0]

This will be monumental in the scheme of pro wrestling just watch and tell me later.

[RawRocks]

Wake me when we get a Destor 56.0

[ClockShot]

Hey, this ain't Nexus music.

Evening folks.

[RawRocks]

Cena opens the show alone .. hmmm

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Really hope they make Cena throw his gear in the trash and wear only Nexus stuff</font>

[treyace]

wow cena making a bullshit speech
way to start the show

[Tom Guycott]

Wait, did... did Cena try to Rickroll everyone?

[ClockShot]

"If I don't have this, I don't know whatelse I'd be doing"

Well, he's been in movies. Hasn't he?

[RawRocks]

The Miz .. ok

[treyace]

finally somebody interesting interrupts this lame start

[RawRocks]

"If I don't have this, I don't know whatelse I'd be doing"

Well, he's been in movies. Hasn't he?

To be fair, he wouldn't be in movies if it wasn't for the WWE.

[Destro 4.0]

Sure wish they'd play Cena off as someone who's actually being influenced by Nexus, rather than having his own agenda and the ease the do as he pleases.

[Destro 4.0]

Awfully pleased they're employing talent that can speak comfortably on the mic.

[RawRocks]

That stooopid sound

[Destro 4.0]

The smell of Nexus in this Main Event is almost palpable.

[ClockShot]

Team Raw unites today.

[treyace]

well the ending to this show is going to be pretty obvious
nexus is gonna cause cena to lose and miz will be captain
yay
:roll:

[dhellova guy]

Cena should have to wear a Nexus shirt.

[The Gold Standard]

well the ending to this show is going to be pretty obvious
nexus is gonna cause cena to lose and miz will be captain
yay
:roll:

I actually think Nexus will cause Cena to win. Showing they are behind him to make him turn

[Destro 4.0]

He absolutely should, yes. I still don't think he should have his own entrance as he's essentially the property of Nexus.

[Fox]

I really hope that this is the beginning of a Cena heel turn. Keep this going with Cena doing more and more things to heels, and then eventually faces, at Barrett's command, before finally revealing himself as the leader of Nexus since the very beginning.

[ClockShot]

Getting Ted Jr. and Goldust out of the way first. Bummer.

[ClockShot]

Why does Eve gotta come out everytime Killings got a match?

[Fox]

God R-Truth has a lame gimmick.

[Destro 4.0]

If Cena doesn't turn at the climax of this feud, I honestly don't believe he'll ever turn.

[Ultra Mantis]

As bad as Truth's entrance song is, Dibiase's is bad enough to make me glad he's the one who had the jobber entrance.

[Fox]

Not sure what it is but I don't like watching Ted wrestle.

[ClockShot]

Whoa. She's a dead ringer for Maryse, isn't she?

[Ultra Mantis]

Eve's dancing is embarrasing to watch.

[Tom Guycott]

::Goldie rubs the Million Dollar belt on the stage::

"He's rubbing it in DiBiase's face!"

...I see what you did there, Cole.

[Fox]

Thread is dead tonight.

[Jura]

I hope R-Truth gets eliminated first at Bragging Rights.

[Fox]

It's not an elimination match.

[Cool King]

That fish throwing footage is old.

They showed it last time they were in Seattle with the exact same people throwing the fish.

[Ultra Mantis]

Hart Dynasty break up in progress.

[ClockShot]

Kidd vs. JoMo.

This could go either way, but Morrison will win.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Can't believe they are breaking up The Hart Dynasty</font> :(

[Tom Guycott]

By the by, anyone else notice the grey, ol'skool WWF shirt in the front row? Shouldn't they like blur that out or something??? ^_^

[Fox]

Sick finish.

[The Gold Standard]

This could be a big break for Kidd to break out in the singles division, but I do not see him winning. However, Kidd did have a good showing.

[The Gold Standard]

WOW.

That was sick

[Ultra Mantis]

Nice C4.

[Savio]

Isn't that the C4?

[ClockShot]

C4.

Morrison gonna start using that now?

[Emperor Smeat]

Nice finisher by Morrison.

[parkmania]

At least we know that it's storyline that D.H. "isn't there", because if he just hadn't shown up Cole would have been told to not mention him.

[Tom Guycott]

That made me miss Birchill's "Jack Sparrow" gimmick

[The Gold Standard]

I know this is going to be an unpopular comment, but I do not see Morrision ever elevating past the level he is at right now.

[Fox]

God Otunga is bad.

[ClockShot]

Not to sound cruel, but watch another member of Nexus go on the injured list tonight.

[Volare]

450 RKO calling it now.

[parkmania]

450 RKO calling it now.

Probably right.

[Fox]

Yeah it seems like the dissension within Nexus is growing very fast.

[The Gold Standard]

I still can't believe how quickly Legendary went to DVD.

[parkmania]

Spoiler: Santino loses.

[treyace]

the only thing good so far was morrison's finisher
and this is supposed to be better then impact
please :wtf:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Pleeeeeease let Ryder onto Team Raw</font>

[parkmania]

So, Edge is gonna be on Team Smackdown and we'll finally have a Edge-Ryder faceoff...

[The Gold Standard]

What a Santino chant

[Ultra Mantis]

Sad thing is, Ryder jobbing to Santino would not surpise me.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Ryder getting way too much offense in to win</font>

[dhellova guy]

Really?

[Juan]

Ryder :(

[The Gold Standard]

the only thing good so far was morrison's finisher
and this is supposed to be better then impact
please :wtf:

You have got to be kidding me. There is no comparison between Raw and Impact. Impact inferior to Raw.

[parkmania]

ZOMG!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Jesus christ. Just trade Ryder to SmackDown. PLEASE.</font>

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Santino

[dhellova guy]

The comedian is on team raw.

[The Gold Standard]

I love Santino. I am happy he won, but would rather see Ryder on Team Raw. He has more of a future and can build on it more than Santino.

[ClockShot]

Okay..............weird.

[Cool King]

What the....

I thought Ryder was a certainty. :(

[treyace]

are u fucking kidding me
did he just poke zack ryder and get the pin

REALLY...............I MEAN REALLY!!!!!!!!!!

[The Gold Standard]

If you think about it, Santino is Raw. He has not been on another show since he started.

[dhellova guy]

I wont be buying this PPV

[Schlomey]

Shoot me now please!

[parkmania]

Santino goes from Beth Phoenix to Tamina. I guess he likes his women like he likes his coffee. Strong.

[treyace]

wow i already thought bragging rights was gonna suck
but now i know it will
wow


he poked him to win
that has to be the dumbest thing i have seen in wrestling this year

[The Gold Standard]

I think it is funny that a Linda McMahon commercial is on Raw.

[The Gold Standard]

The Nexus theme is awesome.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Ryder jobbing to freaking Santino makes me sad.

I know that the comedy heel is an extremely valuable role. Santino and Chavo having the comedy jobber role didn't bother me because they were not that good of wrestlers or old, respectively. But Ryder is like 25 years old, good in the ring, and can talk. I really think he could have been more than a comedic jobber. But now he's pretty much eternally stuck in the role.</font>

[dhellova guy]

Does anyone remember the last time Gabriel spoke?

[parkmania]

The commercial feels like they want Bragging Rights to be a three-way between Smackdown, Raw, and Nexus, but will the N have any members left in 3 weeks other than Barrett and Cena?

[george]

is orton growing his hair back? lol

[parkmania]

is orton growing his hair back? lol

One less comparison to Austin would be good for him, IMO.

[The Gold Standard]

About a month ago I thought Orton was very stale. He took a complete 180 in my eye after he won the WWE Title.

[Evil Vito]

The commercial feels like they want Bragging Rights to be a three-way between Smackdown, Raw, and Nexus, but will the N have any members left in 3 weeks other than Barrett and Cena?

<font color=goldenrod>If Tarver hadn't gotten injured they could have had 7 Raw, 7 SmackDown, and 7 Nexus (Cena, Gabriel, Otunga, Slater, Tarver, McGillicutty, Harris) while Barrett still wreestles for the WWE Title</font>

[dhellova guy]

You're supposed to distract the ref first Otunga.

Idiot

[george]

One less comparison to Austin would be good for him, IMO.

that's a good point

[Ultra Mantis]

Nexus obviously don't want to get DQ'd here and risk Justin Gabriel not being punted in the head.

[The Gold Standard]

Does anyone see Gabriel as Shelton 2.0?

[parkmania]

Does anyone see Gabriel as Shelton 2.0?

Or Bourne 2.0

[Luscious Lou]

I wonder what move it will be that will piss Orton off this match....another back drop? maybe a snap mare?

[parkmania]

It'll be a random spin kick that connects too much.

Or that botched 450 miss.

[The Gold Standard]

Or Bourne 2.0

Yeah. Great performer, but not good on the mic.

[Luscious Lou]

It'll be a random spin kick that connects too much.

Nailed it!

[ClockShot]

Owwww.

That's not good.

[Ultra Mantis]

Or that botched 450 miss.

[dhellova guy]

Fucked up ending

[Savio]

Gabriel is about to get released.

[The Gold Standard]

^ Beat me to it

[Luscious Lou]

Kelly Kelly will have to move on to Alex Riley

[RatedGSuperstar]

That botch looked really, really bad. Yikes.

[parkmania]

Sheamus to bury DBD again?

[Ultra Mantis]

I predict Bryan's either going to score an "upset" or get totally destroyed.

[The Gold Standard]

Sheamus to bury DBD again?

I could see Bryan stealing a victory.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I kinda wonder if Barrett is just gonna kick out Gabriel, Slater, and Otunga. McGillicutty, Harris, Watson, Lucky, Cottonwood, and O'Neil attack them...and it turns out Barrett brought them all in.

I think it would be a fucking horrible idea simply because most of those guys suck. But with Barrett being a huge dick to the current members, I could see it.</font>

[dhellova guy]

God, that looks painful to watch

[The Gold Standard]

I hate this theme

[ClockShot]

Not a big pop for a homeboy.

[Ultra Mantis]

Oh he's in his hometown. Squash.

[Luscious Lou]

Anyone want to form a TPWW meet up to go see Knucklehead? It looks amazing! ;)

[Savio]

Special = We could not get this open in many theaters

[Savio]

actually raw won cole

[LoDownM]

Did Cole just retcon Summerslam?

[parkmania]

actually raw won cole

Shhhhhh! We're not supposed to remember that!



But, since Cena was the sole survivor, and he's now a member of Nexus, I guess N really DID win.

[Luscious Lou]

The fact that BD hasn't lost yet is giving me some hope haha

[Calamondin]

Good match. Made up for last week. Bryan looked good. :y:

[ClockShot]

Team Raw is looking rather lame.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>FUCK I thought Bryan was actually gonna win that one

Makes him look like a star though.....fuck yes!</font>

[The Gold Standard]

Truth is friends with all of the face Main Eventers. He also seems to be the locker room spokesperson to these guys.

[treyace]

TNA sucks

[ClockShot]

Wise words, Ron. Wise words.

[Ultra Mantis]

Truth obviously didn't read Cena's shirt.

[dhellova guy]

That does make it look like they are gearing for a Cena turn. But I just dont think its gunna happen.

[Ultra Mantis]

If Carlito hadn't got himself fired he would have been good in the R-Truth role. That random promo he cut on Cena last year was good stuff.

[RawRocks]

I just don't see how the WWE can possibly turn Cena heel.. I am almost to the point where I am like keep him as a face and let him quit Nexus without reprecussions.

[dhellova guy]

TNA sucks

Agree

[Juan]

YESSSSSSSSSS

[Poit]

YES

[Supreme Olajuwon]

IT'S CLOBBERIN TIME

[Ultra Mantis]

Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunk!

[ClockShot]

Punk's back.

Yea.

[Luscious Lou]

Business is about to pick up!

[ClockShot]

Giants just beat the Braves.

[VSG]

MEAN PUNK :D

[ClockShot]

THE VICE!

[Fox]

Anaconda Vice, hell yeah

[dhellova guy]

Just dont use a tie...

[Emperor Smeat]

Raw wouldn't be Raw without the weekly Evan Bourne beatdown.

Bourne is like the Kenny of old South Park without the dying or random person screaming "OMG They Killed Bourne".

[Fox]

I read somewhere that Bourne is hurt. I think this is WWE's way of getting him off TV.

[dhellova guy]

"WWE would like to annouce it has reached an agreement on the release of Evan Bourne. WWE wishes Evan the best in his future endevors."

[The Gold Standard]

I hope he uses the vice more

[Ultra Mantis]

Joey Styles Twitter highlights:

R-Truth on Team Raw at Bragging Rights instead of Ted DiBiase is an advantage for team SmackDown. That's the truth, the whole truth....

Zack Ryder reminds me of MTV's Jersey Shore. By the way, who do you think is dumber, Jersey Shore's Ronnie or whomever writes TNA?

CM Punk knows how to return to RAW. He's making an Impact and getting a passionate Reaction. Air Bourne has crashed over SEA. LOL!

[dhellova guy]

Her Dad taught her B&E

[ClockShot]

Where's the Beautiful People?

[LoDownM]

lol

[The Gold Standard]

Laycool is awesome

[RawRocks]

Please shut the mics off of LayCool

[VSG]

-0 and 0 * infinity is still 0, Jackasses.

[Fox]

Worst Sharpshooter attempt ever

[SuperSlim]

Why must we be subjected to Laycool on mics each week? Michelle sucks on it. At least Layla is nice to look at. Michelle doesn't even have that going for her.

[ClockShot]

No DQ.

Miz or Cena could win this.

[RawRocks]

No Disqualification Match... oh boy

[Ultra Mantis]

Both guys are going to end up on the team anyway right?

[Corndad]

A few observations.

At least they made up for making Bryan look bad last week. That was a great match.

The C4 in the Morrison match was awesome too.

I also think Cena should wear the N shirt.

[ClockShot]

Both guys are going to end up on the team anyway right?

5 man team I think. 4 spots already taken.

[Schlomey]

Miz/Cena
Sheamus
Santino
Punk
Morrison
Truth

[Emperor Smeat]

Both guys are going to end up on the team anyway right?

Yes. This is just to see who gets to be captain since Miz was originally captain while Cena wanted to "steal" it from the Miz.

[Savio]

Nexus has another new shirt....and santa hat:

This is a vast improvement.

[ClockShot]

That shirt still won't sell.

[Tom Guycott]

What I just learned from watching RAW:

A punch in the head from Alex Riley > John Cena > a DDT on a bare floor.

A-Ry must have learned "the power of the punch" from Regal!

[RawRocks]

That shirt still won't sell.

not for $40 it wont

[Savio]

This is a vast improvement.
I agree the Nexus members should start wearing it.

[Ultra Mantis]

Nexus has another new shirt

That is much better than the current shirt. I expect Cena to be decked out in all this new gear in the coming weeks to peddle some.

[Fox]

Miz looking strong tonight.

[Fox]

Miz almost hit the camera man with his briefcase.

[SuperSlim]

he let go before Miz reached the ropes... A-Ry came in a lil late.

But ah well.. Miz wins. That's all that matters.

[ClockShot]

Nice little move by Perfect Jr.

[Fox]

....he lost to a neckbreaker and a back splash?

[Savio]

Cena will lead team Nexus

[VSG]

Superb neck breaker as usual.

[Poit]

....he lost to a neckbreaker and a back splash?

Not just a neckbreaker... the McGillicutter! :p

[Fox]

Cena wins.

[Tom Guycott]

Any particular reason why *Henning and Rotunda look like Beer Money???

[Fox]

God Barrett is playing this part well.

[ClockShot]

Come on, they're gonna make Orton look weak?

[Fox]

Hulk Mad!

[RawRocks]

Do it Cena

[ClockShot]

GIVE IN TO THE DARK SIDE!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Wade Barrett is incredible</font>

[VSG]

You can't see him, Cena :rofl:

[Ultra Mantis]

Wade stole the show right there.

[ClockShot]

All Barrett needs is a Darth Vader voiceover and he's all set.

That was good stuff.

[Fox]

As someone who hasn't been a fan of the WWE for a long time, I am really liking the way this Nexus/Cena storyline is playing out. It's exactly the kind of base, focal point storyline that RAW has needed for a very long time. I just hope it lasts.

Any particular reason why *Henning and Rotunda look like Beer Money???

damn,your right i saw it n realized it too..!!! All you need now is a beer bottle n ya got beer money 2.0 :y:

[Lock Jaw]

Speaking of Beer Money, I noticed that when Laycool ran into the crowd they ended up beside some guy wearing a Beer Money T-Shirt.

[Lock Jaw]

Also, did anybody get the feeling that after the Orton match they cut to the fans quickly and often to avoid any possibility of catching Orton yelling "Stupid! Stupid!" to Gabriel?

[Londoner]

Missed raw again, sounds like the replays worth watching.

[Londoner]

Raw wouldn't be Raw without the weekly Evan Bourne beatdown.

Bourne is like the Kenny of old South Park without the dying or random person screaming "OMG They Killed Bourne".

lol

[Damian Rey]

Only caught the second hour from the botched 450 on Orton to the end of the show. Barrett was amazing tonight. He's looking more and more like a legit star each week. I'm loving the way they've handled the Cena/Nexus stuff the last two weeks.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

I am enjoying this Cena/ Barratt storyline, and I'm interested to see where it goes.

The only problem I have with it, is the rest of Nexus.

It started as Nexus - The 'Gang' Stable.

They wanted to make Cena a part of Nexus.

Cena loses to Barratt, becomes part of Nexus.

The rest of Nexus become the 'nWo Black & White Jobbers' (Seriously. Otunga, Gabriel, and Slater are looking like Horrace, Stevie Ray and Scott Norton right now)

Cena becomes Barratt's man slave.


Like I said, I'm not bashing the angle, and I'm enjoying and and curious to see where it goes. But it's just something that caught my eye.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

I will be using this unintentional double post to its highest potential..... :shifty:

well beer money have a cool shirt unlike nexus. i would not be suprised if that was not the best selling shirt in tna.

[RatedGSuperstar]

I thought the Cena/Nexus stuff played out well. The segment with Truth was also good, as it sort of sets the seeds for the rest of the locker room turning on Cena, as opposed to Cena eventually turning on them. At this point, that might be the best way to turn Cena heel and leave the least amount of fanboys cheering for him.

Also, fuck you all, LayCool is incredible.

[Mr. Pierre]

That was a really good RAW.

Good to see Punk on RAW. Hopefully he can get some meaningful storylines over there.

I was almost positive though that as Barrett had his back turned taunting Cena to hit him, that Orton was gonna sneak in and hit him with an RKO to close the show.
