Official RAW Thread for 12/27/10 - December 2010: The Revival of MR. KING

[MIZantine Empire]

not i layla i meant natalya durr
yea but did u see her tits tonight? i wanted to cover them in my baby gravy while i kiss that man like face of hers, even tho i dont think its man like, i think she is gorgeous

[SOCCER LEGS]

test? lol sorry, but i agree, i was not impressed at all with kaval. the only thing good about him was his generic entrance music, which i actually liked

lol ur on a roll with the test jokes tonight :rofl::rofl:

[SOCCER LEGS]

yea but did u see her tits tonight? i wanted to cover them in my baby gravy while i kiss that man like face of hers, even tho i dont think its man like, i think she is gorgeous

yeah she's got kind of a sex kitten thing going on, it's hot

[Mr. Nerfect]

We are one...under...Punk!

I am looking forward to CM Punk being the leader of the Nexus. I don't think anyone called this, but it makes perfect sense, in a way. It even goes back to NXT, where Punk was a Pro on the show. It makes sense that Nexus would want to get back out there, even when Wade Barrett can't, and Punk seems a natural fit as leader. He loves getting people to do his bidding.

When Barrett returns, he can either rejoin Nexus, teasing tension between CM Punk, or even joint leadership of the group; or he can even feud with them. Who knows? I don't think the WWE has soured on Barrett, rather they're just raising the stakes of the group.

I'm wondering if "new management" will allow guys like Michael Tarver and Darren Young to return to the group. Punk was Young's Pro on NXT, and seemed impressed with the kid's ability to stand up for himself at points. Is that a quality Punk wants in the Nexus? Or does he want mindless drones? I'm not sure how far away Joey Mercury is from being ready to return to the ring, but he'd make an interesting addition to Nexus, too. Mercury can work, he can talk, and it's a role he would do well in, I think.

[SOCCER LEGS]

fuck tarver, fuck young


BRING BACK SHEFFIELD

[MIZantine Empire]

lol ur on a roll with the test jokes tonight :rofl::rofl:
on a roll like droz's chair ...ok that one might have been a little over the edge..but since i have elevated to heel status, its neccessary..and yes i know i spelled that wrong probably
yeah she's got kind of a sex kitten thing going on, it's hot
yes it is hot..she looks good all dolled up..makes me want to do her in some place very very uncomfortable..like the back seat of a volkswagon...

[MIZantine Empire]

i wish i could afford to go to both raw and smackdown next week. i settled for smackdown since i live in tucson, and i cant afford to get raw tickets, and drive to phoenix. i think it is going to be a really good raw in phoenix, i just hope they put on a good show here in tucson, like when they did the empty arena match with mick and the rock, that shit was tight

[Lock Jaw]

Perhaps Barrett returns as a loner heel. Kind of the "badass heel" that Orton was. Says stuff like "Cena was right, I had to stop taking shortcuts... so now I'll beat you down by myself".

Looking forward to CM PuNk next week. Wonder if there's gonna be a group head-shaving? :shifty:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I smell a Cena and Barrett alliance here to take on this new rebel Nexus.

It's a Nexus Trap!!!!!

[Lara Emily]

Blah, so they kick out the only guy really worth a damn in Nexus. I mean seriously, why would Punk allign himself with a Barrettless Nexus, they never win matches ever.

Then again I'm really bias towards Wade Barrett. He's literally the best fresh face the WWE has introduced in years

[Juan]

Because only internet nerds care about those things?

[Lara Emily]

Because only internet nerds care about those things?

Yeah that too

[Emperor Smeat]

I could see Punk ending up becoming the higher power or someone Nexus said was part of their plans during the initial weeks of Nexus.

Would be easy to explain why Punk was beaten as a way to throw everyone off in his involvement with the group and maybe S.E.S. being the test or prototype of Punk's bigger plans to change the WWE.

Raw itself was pretty good tonight and a bit disappointed at Miz-Morrison title match being done next week instead of the Rumble but WWE can always continue the Miz-Morrison at a later time due to their personal rivalry.

[CSL]

It doesn't even need to be that deep. 6 are better than 1, Punk's ego wouldn't allow him to believe he'll fail where Barrett did, they all have reasons to want to see Cena fall, it's a wrestling show and David Simon-esque plots aren't really required etc.

It's not at all surprising but it numbs my mind that people are already complaining about this.

[Lara Emily]

I think it's just me who is disappointed

[loopydate]

fuck tarver, fuck young


BRING BACK SHEFFIELD

It's hard to wrestle with a broken leg.

[Lara Emily]

It's hard to wrestle with a broken leg.


Zach Gowen did it

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

No, he didn't. He wrestled with one leg so there was no chance for pain where his leg used to be.

It's not a broken leg though, it's a broken ankle. If he wrestled on it he could damage it further and then pull a Kerry Von Erich and lose the foot.

[CSL]

Yes, I'm sure Lara Emily was being serious and thought that Zach Gowen was hiding his 'broken leg' in his shorts.

[Lara Emily]

I never ever jest ever :D

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Would be funny if the Nexus all show up bald next week.</font>

[Lara Emily]

No, he didn't. He wrestled with one leg so there was no chance for pain where his leg used to be.

It's not a broken leg though, it's a broken ankle. If he wrestled on it he could damage it further and then pull a Kerry Von Erich and lose the foot.
So then he'd be like Zach Gowen

[Juan]

No, he didn't. He wrestled with one leg so there was no chance for pain where his leg used to be.

lol

[Savio]

Would be funny if the Nexus all show up bald next week.
Heath Slater would probably get more of a push if he had a hair cut.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Heath Slater would probably get more of a push if he had a hair cut.

He just stole Paydirt from Shelton and MVP. I guess they figured out his move from the back was just the Zig-Zag. So now he does it from the front instead.

[Furious Beardsley]

[QUOTE=MIZantine Empire;3371564]on a roll like droz's chair ...ok that one might have been a little over the edge..but since i have elevated to heel status, its neccessary..and yes i know i spelled that wrong probably
/QUOTE]

The only thing over the edge is Owen Hart's career.

[CSL]

Like 0.9/10 overall for that abomination of a post.

[Juan]

That's being generous, CSL Manning.

[Furious Beardsley]

Like 0.9/10 overall for that abomination of a post.

far too generous. That deserves more around a 0.0000000001/10. That might even be too generous. I totally botched that one.

[Tom Guycott]

Points of interest:

Why is everyone saying "Barrettless Nexus"? Remember, Punk was upset about Barrett being "already beaten" and Cena going on to put him on the shelf with gratuitous acts with <S>16</S> 23 chairs? Punk may be the new leader, and even though it does open the avenue for other things to be done with the original NXT golden boy, it doesn't mean he is out of the group. Just no longer leading it. That brings me to...

Punk didn't hit Cena with the chair at the end to prove his dickish point that he's the bigger man. Cena was already done in by the gang rape of finishers, the chairshot would have been "what Cena would have done" and is fuel for next RAW's "Straightedge means I'm better than Cena" promo.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Cause David Otunga said that Nexus was under new management. That would mean that the leader is gone and now replaced with CM Punk.

I think it'll be good to keep him off TV for a little while for everybody to forget about him. Then he comes back when this feud gets on the Road to Wrestlemania either with Nexus or against him with John Cena.

I also have a question since Zach Gowen was brought up. Didn't the WWE want to hire some other one-legged wrestler but called him up instead by accident?

[MIZantine Empire]

far too generous. That deserves more around a 0.0000000001/10. That might even be too generous. I totally botched that one.
ya you got way to ansy,and released ure line way to early, like owen hart....ZING

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Shut the fuck up with the Owen Hart jokes you fucking assclown!

[CSL]

Calm down sweetheart, that was pretty good.

[MIZantine Empire]

Shut the fuck up with the Owen Hart jokes you fucking assclown!
its not good to get your blood pressure all up in the rafters, cuz it sucks when it comes crashing down, like owen hart

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Who said you could be a heel? :)

[Aguakate]

far too generous. That deserves more around a 0.0000000001/10. That might even be too generous. I totally botched that one.

Do you want this to happen to you?

[screech]

Thinking about it, I like this. I know I've said I don't think Nexus needs a veteran to boost them, but this does make sense. Punk and Nexus now have a common goal, so why not join them to achieve it?

Hoping for some kind of joint leadership when Barrett returns. I don't see why him taking over would be a problem, given the reason he attacked Cena twice last week.

[screech]

I know I have said this in other threads, but I saw it come up here and want to say it again.

I hope it doesn't come out that Punk was "behind" Nexus the whole time. I don't think anyone should be "behind" Nexus because that would ruin the whole point of the group. They started because of how they were treated on NXT, not because someone said they should go and wreck shit.

Don't like that people are still on that train of thought. Seems ridiculous to me.

[screech]

All this time, NeXus has lacked a veteran presence to legitimize the group. They now have it.

Don't think they "need" a veteran, really. Again, the whole point was that they were pissed about NXT. Why would an established guy care about that?

[screech]

NeXus

Why do you write it like that? Seems silly.

[Loose Cannon]

I'll see where it goes before passing any judgement on it. The crowd seemed to have no rection to Punk joining them.

[parkmania]

Mercury can work, he can talk, and it's a role he would do well in, I think.

Nah - there's a reason that Young was the first one kicked out of the group on camera - Young never fully won Punk over. Sheffield might come back to the group whenever he's healed, but Tarver will probably still be gone. Punk doesn't preach forgiveness.

[Aguakate]

Why do you write it like that? Seems silly.

NeXus IS silly.

Or at least has been...we'll see what happens now.

[screech]

It bugs me that you capitalize the x.

[Aguakate]

...remember the nWo?

...something like that.

[Xero]

NX

[screech]

nWo looks a lot better than NWO or nwo.

NeXus looks ridiculous.

[Aguakate]

NXS

[Volare]

Punk is now the most dangerous man in wrestling. Adding him with Nexus has pretty much made him unstoppable, and quite honestly the best thing for Cena to face.

[Volare]

Btw, anyone else think Volare looks a little like Gene Snitsky?

That oversized pic WAS NOT MY FAULT.

[parkmania]

nWo looks a lot better than NWO or nwo.

NeXus looks ridiculous.

But now that Punk is in it, that spelling makes total sense. Straight edge is abbreviated sXe to mimmick the mark on the hand, so Nexus under Punk would morph into NeXus.

[MIZantine Empire]

Who said you could be a heel? :)
i took it upon myself, lol.. well when i dropped my name for the tpww battle royal, i had a bounty placed on me, so i basically am trying to take the heel status and run with it..trying to being the key word

[Savio]

I dont know why so many people are jumping to Punk being behind it the whole time, Otunga said it is under new management.

[Xero]

But now that Punk is in it, that spelling makes total sense. Straight edge is abbreviated sXe to mimmick the mark on the hand, so Nexus under Punk would morph into NeXus.

If you're going to do that then it may as well be neXus.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I always saw it as NeXuS

[Johnny Vegas]

Agree with CSL on the "mind-numbing that people are already complaining about Punk being the leader" statement.

those shirts people may buy, wonder if he will make them shave there heads.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Skip Sheffield is going to fit right in when he comes back if Punk does that! I want some more Murder By Lariat!

[Raven Reaper]

The Miz made a big mistake acknowledging the "What?" chants.

If you acknowledge it, it's just going to get worse and worse every week.

Best part: MIZ: "YOU ALL SOUND LIKE A BUNCH OF STUPID DUCKS!!! SAYING WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT SHUT UP WHILE I'M TALKING!! ARE WE GONNA DO THIS ALL DAY REALLY!?!?!?!"

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Best part: MIZ: "YOU ALL SOUND LIKE A BUNCH OF STUPID DUCKS!!! SAYING WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT SHUT UP WHILE I'M TALKING!! ARE WE GONNA DO THIS ALL DAY REALLY!?!?!?!"

Even Hulk Hogan acknowledged the What chants and he did it the best way over.

Crowd: WHAT?

Hogan: Cha gonna do!

Getting "Whatted" is an honor. It means the fans think the guy is as good as Stone Cold.

It's certainly better than dead silence which is what Drew McIntyre gets on Smackdown.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

No NXT live chat tonight?

[Mr. C]

Could care less about a feud involving the women. The division is heating up… in the incinerator they tossed it in. Melina turns heel with a slap.

I’m not sure that having John Morrison vs. The Miz next week automatically means they won’t face each other at Royal Rumble. They still have four episodes of RAW before the event, and thus, there’s a bit of time to fill. The Falls Count Anywhere Match could easily have a finish where the General Manager requires one more match. Morrison could even win the title next week and require Miz to demand a rematch at the Rumble. I’m starting to suspect that they’re planning Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole where whoever loses leaves RAW.

Wade Barrett can move to SmackDown. In exchange for Barrett, they can send someone over like Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio can feud with Daniel Bryan over the United States Championship. Not like Bryan has anyone else to feud with. They indicated Tyson Kidd would be challenging for the title, then had him squashed by Mark Henry and his bodyguard destroyed. That was weird.

8/10

A black shirt having just the fist with the "N" on the front would be cool.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Loved every second of Punk/Nexus. Really hope they still do something with the Undertaker thing they teased.

[Tazz Dan]

What Undertaker thing?

[Volare]

Buried Alive.....Nexus screwed Taker, remember?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

When they buried him, they were saying that they had a reason. Otunga even threatened to tell the world when he was arguing with Wade.

[Volare]

I wonder if Barrett will show up to Smackdown now to start that storyline going.

[Tazz Dan]

Buried Alive.....Nexus screwed Taker, remember?

When they buried him, they were saying that they had a reason. Otunga even threatened to tell the world when he was arguing with Wade.

Oh yeah. I forgot about that already. :$

Thought you meant something off Raw though. Thought I might have missed something.
