The RAW Thread 31/01/11 - Cobra! Viper! Some kind of chat thing!

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The chat thingy: http://www.tpww.net/forums/showthread.php?t=109788 for those who like to type into the browser and hope what they say is forgotten by the annals of time instead of being archived forever on a message board.

Hoping for SANTINO and NEXUS/Miz v Orton/Cena based shenanigans.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Alberto to announce which champion he's after tonight... Which is odd considering it could be anyone after the Chamber. Silly Del Rio.

[teamXtremist]

im excited it was an unexpected rumble to say the least hoping for a good raw tonight

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Really hoping Santino interrupts Del Rios announcement.

I'm dead serious about buying Elimination Chamber to seethed match.

[Volare]

The one I came up with in the other thread?

[Savio]

I wish they switched the placement of Fatal 4 Way with the Chamber PPV

[Londoner]

Should be a good raw.

[Volare]

I want a good Alberto promo tonight.

[Lock Jaw]

I wish they switched the placement of Fatal 4 Way with the Chamber PPV

Yeah, the Chamber seems too good to throw away as a "build up to Wrestlemania". Seems like it in itself is something that should be built to.

[Corndad]

I would cry if they throw Santino in the Chamber Match lol

Its looking like Raw side will be

Miz
Orton
Punk
Cena
Sheamus
One Nexus Member?

[Xero]

Diesel.

[ClockShot]

Pretty excited for this Raw. Del Rio's decision, hopefully Booker T and Diesel drop by and make the crowd go crazy like last night.

[Beth Phoenix Fan]

it was really great to see Diesel at the rumble..hopefully nash will continue to be Diesel for many weeks to come!

[Londoner]

Pretty excited for this Raw. Del Rio's decision, hopefully Booker T and Diesel drop by and make the crowd go crazy like last night.

Am drinking lager/whiskey so naturally excited to. ;)

[Savio]

I would cry if they throw Santino in the Chamber Match lol

Its looking like Raw side will be

Miz
Orton
Punk
Cena
Sheamus
One Nexus Member?
Morrison.....King?

[loopydate]

Are you suggesting sir, that Carlito make a surprise return to Elimination Chamber?

[Corndad]

2 Guarantees I wanna make before Raw starts

1. Santino will mention at least once he was the last Raw superstar in the Ring
2. TPWW will go down about every 15 mins lol

[RawRocks]

Here is hoping Michael Cole gets a massive beat down tonight

[Cool King]

Are you suggesting sir, that Carlito make a surprise return to Elimination Chamber?

No, Maria.

[Volare]

*We Want Jackknife* *clap* *clap* *clapclapclap*

[Volare]

No, Maria.

Hey now I like her!

[RatedGSuperstar]

Kind of excited to see where they go with Nexus/Orton and even Miz/Cena. I'd love it if Miz brings up the fact he was "7-0" or whatever against Cena when he first came to Raw.

[The Gold Standard]

*We Want Jackknife* *clap* *clap* *clapclapclap*

[Londoner]

Here we gooooooooooooo!

[The Gold Standard]

Every notice it is always the same promo after every PPV. "*insert tag line of champ* but is he still WWE Champ?"

[The Gold Standard]

ALBERTO DEL RIO!!!

Del Rio is the best.

CLASSIC HEEEL MOVE

[BizarroKing]

Yes King everything is better with more cowbell

[Corndad]

Cmon Santino!

[Emperor Smeat]

lol dig at Bieber and the crowd didn't react (besides some girls screaming).

[The Gold Standard]

I really think that if Del Rio still had his mask in WWE, he would be terrible.

[Londoner]

wow miz won :eek:

[The Gold Standard]

I almost like how much Cole praises Miz every time he comes out. I think it makes The Miz' character even more heel and over.

[Londoner]

yes! its gonna be edge/del rio

lol@2nd rate jbl HAHAHAHA

[DaVe]

lol rentals

[blak23]

riley is extremely orange this evening

[Corndad]

JBL Tito Santana knock off lol

[PorkSoda]

lol did anybody hear that fan? "What?"

[RawRocks]

EDGE!!

[Poit]

Love the crowd shouting "Really?" back at Miz.

[ClockShot]

Jayson Werth made his way up from D.C.

[The Gold Standard]

Remember a few years ago when Vince tried to make it seem that The Undertaker was afraid to face Lashley for the ECW title at Mania? Then Lashley didn't even defend it.

[Corndad]

Edge trying to use the Trumpet HAHAHA

[blak23]

could del rio be a face?

[Londoner]

fuck yes!

[Londoner]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Gold Standard]

Edge v Del Rio is going to be a great match.

[ClockShot]

EL KABONG!

[The Gold Standard]

I thought he was going to Double J it.

[Londoner]

Makes the result of the smackdown EC match obvious though, hence why that PPV should be after WM.

[McLegend]

Holy shit Del Rio just pissed Jarrett off.

[Corndad]

And I Quote...

[Londoner]

that doesn't make any sense.

[ClockShot]

BOO

YAY

BOO

You know how it goes.

[blak23]

what the fuck is king doing in the match

[Corndad]

Wow the King is in the Chamber. Nice whoever called that one.

[Cool King]

Cena wins.

[blak23]

bullshit match

[RawRocks]

thats crazy

[ClockShot]

Me thinks Husky and Mikey take the titles.

[loopydate]

Lawler wins tonight. Calling it now

[blak23]

Kozlov gained some weight

[Corndad]

Well least we get another mini rumble I guess. I hope they actually make it a Rumble match and not just a Battle Royal.

[blak23]

I hope some1 takes king out

[Londoner]

oh ffs the cobra is a goddamn joke!

[The Gold Standard]

COBRA!!!!

[Cool King]

Xero is going to be pissed. :shifty:

[Corndad]

ORTON!

[The Gold Standard]

The crowd is hot for Orton.

[Londoner]

the cobra sucks

the viper however!!!!

[RawRocks]

Orton and Cena both are gonna destroy Nexus before its all said and done

[The Gold Standard]

PUNT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM!!!

[Londoner]

PUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ClockShot]

Where's the goalposts?

[The Gold Standard]

[Corndad]

Wow Huskys been down a while lol

[The Gold Standard]

The look to the crowd.

[Londoner]

[ClockShot]

IT'S GOOD!

[The Gold Standard]

GET OFF MY TV HUSKY!!!

[RawRocks]

punt to the 1 yd line!

[Cool King]

Brock Orton?

Randy Lesnar?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Good, Husky Harris was starting to make me regret having HD.</font>

[Jordan]

Nice angle, looks like they may have Orton/Punk at Wrestlemania, and maybe Miz/Cena and Edge/Del Rio...

Could be pretty great

[blak23]

Brock Orton?

Randy Lesnar?

what?

[RawRocks]

<font color=goldenrod>Good, Husky Harris was starting to make me regret having HD.</font>

:y:

[Emperor Smeat]

Did Punk get any sleep since his eyes looked all blood-shot?

Great interaction between Punk and Orton since it seemed like Punk's mind games could have worked while Orton took his time to debate on taking the risk or playing it safe.

[Londoner]

what?

was wondering that to.

[Londoner]

lol@cole

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Cole/King at WM is definitely happening.</font>

[ClockShot]

Ted just got dumped.

[The Gold Standard]

That was a stiff shot

[RawRocks]

Ted DiBiase is having a bad night

[Jordan]

King is money right now

[Londoner]

that was awesome

[The Gold Standard]

The crowd the past 2 nights have been hot for the older guard. (Nash, Booker, Jerry, etc.)

[RawRocks]

Do it King.. punch his fucking mouth!

[Jordan]

I don't know where this is going, but I think I am totally behind it.

[Jordan]

Cole is unlike anything I have ever seen. He is like a mix of Paul Heyman and Vince McMahon and mostly Michael Cole... he makes me LOL on a regular basis.

[Londoner]

Please don't include Heyman with Cole.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Lawler should punch out Cole and leave us with Chet Lemon and Black Snow on commentary for the rest of the night.</font>

[ClockShot]

What do we have here?

[Londoner]

OH LOOOK its the hype for takers return

[Loose Cannon]

woah, no fucking way

[Cool King]

The Undertaker returning to Raw?

[Loose Cannon]

oh thought it was Sting maybe....... :(

[ClockShot]

If it was Undertaker they would have just said it.

Vince got somebody stashed away we don't know about?

[BizarroKing]

2-21-11?

Sting? Taker?...HHH?

[RawRocks]

2-21-11

Either I am blind or that's a Triple H hype

[Londoner]

Looked more like a Taker hype to me. can you really imagine HHH returning with that as his hype?

[Corndad]

Cmon Wardrobe Malfunction.

[Jura]

Hope there was a nip slip.

[ClockShot]

2-21-11 is a monday. The day AFTER Elimination Chamber.

[Londoner]

regardless of the date, still don't see that being hhh with that vid. could be wrong though.

[Cool King]

oh thought it was Sting maybe....... :(

If it's Sting, I'll be amazed.

[Nicky Fives]

The best part of Raw so far was the "Randy Orton: Purse Killer" sign during Del Rio's entrance......

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>2/21/11

2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 7

Dustin Rhodes returning as Seven!</font>

[Londoner]

Would be fuckin cool for Taker to return on Raw though. Don't see why that can't happen.

[RawRocks]

Okay...

Seriously... Triple A ... shoot me a PM. This server load bullshit needs to end.

[Londoner]

Oh wtf. they didn't show the entrances for this match?!?!?!?

[Corndad]

That promo will be the most talked about thing for the next week I predict. If it's for Sting it will be crazy. Maybe will announce for HOF? that night. who knows.

[ClockShot]

Edge and Miz in the ring.........without entrances...............huh.

[Londoner]

Okay...

Seriously... Triple A ... shoot me a PM. This server load bullshit needs to end.

Seriously. fucking annoying.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It's about The Undertaker not Triple H you fools. It might be about Sting maybe but not Triple H.

[Londoner]

I feel like raw has royalled screwed us by not showing the entrances to such a match as this, fucks sakes.

[RawRocks]

never thought i would be so disinterested in a champion vs champion match... maybe its the lack of entrances.

[Lara Emily]

Cole and King fighting feels like watching your parents fight, super awkward

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

CENA: OH NO WE SUCK AGAIN!!!

[Londoner]

Way to fucking screw us out of the entrances, wwe. bet you wouldn't do that if cena was involved EH?!

[The Gold Standard]

After a long storied rivalry, Edge now waves to Cena.

[Londoner]

Well i guess its obvious cena's winning.

Wait, isn't it always?

[The Gold Standard]

Cole and Lawler are trending on Twitter worldwide.

[loopydate]

Can NOT wait to be in Atlanta in 62 days!

[Londoner]

I'd love one time for wwe to screw us out of a Cena entrance. Would be so funny so it wont ever happen.

[Londoner]

STONE COLD!!!! STONE COLD!!!! STONE COLD!!!!

[Londoner]

AUSTIN!!! AUSTIN!!!!!!!!!!!! AUSTIN!!!!!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Tonight, the "good guys" have committed felonious assault, used illegal maneuvers and interfered in matches they weren't involved in.</font>

:shifty:

[Cool King]

The WWE's Facebook is asking what 2.21.11 means.

Some of the answers are great though.

So far we've had Undertaker, Triple H, Sting, Chris Jericho, Muhammad Hassan and also Mideon. :lol:

[ClockShot]

Why wait till friday when we can get the spoilers wednesday?

[ClockShot]

I think it's time Kong shows up.........

[Londoner]

WHAT THE..,...

[RKO'em]

After a long storied rivalry, Edge now waves to Cena.

HAHAHAHA I know what the shit

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Wow... Layla using the Diamond Dust...

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

That's the second time she used it and now it's got a name "The Face Lift."

[Cool King]

This server is becoming more annoying than Hornswoggle.

[RawRocks]

This server is becoming more annoying than Hornswoggle.

Will gladly assist in fixing this issue as yours truly has the resources to do so... but its up to Triple A to listen.. already contacted him once in the distant past to resolve it.. but got no answer.

[glanville6]

ya more khali!!!

god damnit

[glanville6]

haha "the chick who played Precious"

[RawRocks]

what the hell is this?

[Londoner]

[parkmania]

Where's Kaitlyn???

[thedamndest]

This dance off is better than a match would have been.

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: The Uso's actually got a reaction from the crowd.

Sure it was a boo but that's a start compared to the nothing they usually get.

[Cool King]

lol clusterfuck.

[glanville6]

man...i gotta know who comes out 2-21-11 NOW

[Loose Cannon]

HHH in Kindergarten Cop Part II

[parkmania]

So, the Raw EC match is not gonna have the title on the line??? If I'm hearing what I think I am, the winner of this match gets Miz at EC, and the other 6 end up in the EC...


Sounds dumb.

[Lara Emily]

Totally behind but that Women's Tag team match was absolutely awesome. Layla's Diamond Dust was pardon the pun Flawless.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Damn you WWE had to show it in slow motion? I could see the two marks where JOMO had to hit to get stuck on it. SMH!!!

[ClockShot]

man...i gotta know who comes out 2-21-11 NOW

The boots are what are throwing me off. 'Taker doesn't wear those with the tips curved up. Right?

[Lara Emily]

So, the Raw EC match is not gonna have the title on the line??? If I'm hearing what I think I am, the winner of this match gets Miz at EC, and the other 6 end up in the EC...


Sounds dumb.

GOnna guess winner of the EC goes on to WM to face the champ so in that sense it works.

[loopydate]

Since they've already said the winner of the Chamber match goes to Mania twice already, I think you might be right.

[Londoner]

Oh look, were screwed out of entrances, AGAIN. Fuck off wwe. Fuck off Vince.


OH MY GOD, WE GET CENA'S ENTRANCE THOUGH!!

[parkmania]

Calling Lawler to win.

[Londoner]

TOTALLY MARKING OUT, OLD SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BizarroKing]

Oh look, were screwed out of entrances, AGAIN. Fuck off wwe. Fuck off Vince.


OH MY GOD, WE GET CENA'S ENTRANCE THOUGH!!

They entered before the commercial break took place...

[jkman61494]

Pertaining to the 2-21-11 thing, listen to it again. For those that are theme geeks, I thought I was hearing some VERY close similarities to the intro to Undertaker's late 90's type theme.

Now could this just be because Jim Johnston is rehashing the notes? Sure. But it made me immediately think Taker.


QUESTION: Maybe I am missing something, but is there ANY explanation why Punk started to leave Cena alone and why Cena is all of a sudden NOT feuding with Nexus? It just seems like there was absolutely no resolution to this.

[Londoner]

CENA'S OH MY GOD, SO AMAZING!!!!1111

[RawRocks]

now a Cena vs Morrison match would highly interest me

[Londoner]

They entered before the commercial break took place...

Didn't get them here.

[Lara Emily]

:eek: The Uso's actually got a reaction from the crowd.

Sure it was a boo but that's a start compared to the nothing they usually get.

Barely I had to turn up the volume on my TV to hear it LOL.

[glanville6]

The boots are what are throwing me off. 'Taker doesn't wear those with the tips curved up. Right?

Dont believe so

If it isnt Taker or Sting it will be a dissapointment.

Maybe Vince McMahon woke up and is coming back, and was living in a cabin out of fear...


PROBABLY NOT

But who knows

[Londoner]

hahaha@r truth botch

[ClockShot]

LOL at Truth.

[dronepool]

Aww Truth fucked up.

[loopydate]

Lol Truth is terrible.

[SOCCER LEGS]

nice botch by R truth

[glanville6]

Calling Lawler to win.

Agree. I see Cena and Lawler at the end, and Cena allowing Lawler to throw him out out of respect.

And I dont see him in the chamber match

[Londoner]

tbf it was mainly down to morrison doing the samething at the sametime

[Lara Emily]

Morrison's parcour spot at RR made him a fucking star

[BizarroKing]

R-False Botched...

[parkmania]

Maybe Vince McMahon woke up and is coming back, and was living in a cabin out of fear...


PROBABLY NOT

But who knows

You might be on to something, though.

It just might be...

Waylon Mercy

[RawRocks]

wow.. a holy shit elimination

[jkman61494]

I really have no idea why they dumped Punk and Cena? Punk joined Nexus to pretty much screw with Cena, yet they just scrapped it. I really don't get it.

[glanville6]

Always hate when people look mad at someone for eliminating them. Be mad at yourself

[SOCCER LEGS]

lol orton why u mad bro

[Skippord]

I'm calling that promo video from earlier being Tyler Black

[glanville6]

chamber match will be stacked

[Lara Emily]

Ok so LOL they had Vicky come out a vaguely hype the SD Main Event saying the title will be up in a way never seen before and instead of leaving it at that and letting people tune in to find out (or read spoilers I guess) they have Cole announce it and lol really, a 3 on 2 mix tag match for the WHC is the big stipulation? I'd be less inclined to watch then more inclined.

[Londoner]

Morrison gonna win, hahaha what a move.

[ClockShot]

Watch Cole have a coniption fit when Lawler wins.

[SOCCER LEGS]

why the fuck didn't lawler do something when all three of those retards were standing on the apron?

[glanville6]

man, morrison is all kinds of exciting

[Londoner]

botch!

[ClockShot]

Morrison overshot that.

[Londoner]

lol!

[jkman61494]

Ok, now Matthews said a championship match in THREE WEEKS.

Do they even know what they're fighting over here on the broadcast?!

[Londoner]

did i say morisson? i meant cena.

[SOCCER LEGS]

I'm calling that promo video from earlier being Tyler Black

you think tyler black is gonna get promos to hype his debut?

what a joke. he'll be lucky to get a spot on NXT>

[glanville6]

morrison better have a title run someday...and he isn't my favorite wrestler, but he has to win money in the bank, even if my boy christian is in it

[Lara Emily]

Wow COle is a moron, (sorry I'm on time delay) when Cena came out he said Cena eliminated all members of Nexus, umm Khali eliminated Husky Harris not Cena. LOL Cena is now so pushed he gets credit for things he didn't do :|

[parkmania]

Cena sold Lawler's dropkick about as well as HBK sold Hogan's offense.

[Jura]

Cena is awful. I heard and spotted him giving Lawler instructions.

[Londoner]

hahaha HES GONE

[glanville6]

man, if sheamus doesnt pause...that was a great moment

[Londoner]

LOOPYDATE CALLED IT

[Skippord]

you think tyler black is gonna get promos to hype his debut?

what a joke. he'll be lucky to get a spot on NXT>
it won't be anyone like the Undertaker or Triple H

why would they run promos for either of them?

[Calamondin]

Pretty neat. I wonder if Riley causes Lawler the title, then Lawler gets his Wrestlemania match against Riley?

[Skippord]

could be Sting I guess though

[RawRocks]

I have had it Michael Cole

[loopydate]

Lawler wins tonight. Calling it now

[blak23]

worst main event ever

[Volare]

So my GF is convinced that Lawler is going to beat Miz and go to Wrestlemania, and she wants to bet me.

[glanville6]

Pretty neat. I wonder if Riley causes Lawler the title, then Lawler gets his Wrestlemania match against Riley?

For sure. Its a big step down, fighting for the title then going to face Alex Riley, but its a great step for Lawler to finally get what he deserves

[loopydate]

Lol whoops didn't see TL's post.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Cena gets eliminated fair and square and then goes all Hogan '92 Rumble on Sheamus. What a dick!

Miz/Lawler is gonna rule.</font>

[Emperor Smeat]

:-\ was hoping for Morrison to win but wouldn't have been surprised had Cena won since now he's feuding with Miz but King winning was a shocker.

Orton vs Punk/Nexus should end up much better than with Cena since Orton's character fits better and no dumb moments or promos like Cena did during the entire feud.

I have a feeling this will be the new wrestler:
The debut of "Crazy but only at a PG level" Steve Blackman
http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/8686/blackman.png

[jkman61494]

If they can scrap John Morrison's horribly cheesy gimmick, then he can then go be a Main Eventer. I am convinced now that is what's holding him back. The guy is supposed to mimmick a rock star from decades ago, big whoop.

When a guy has sub-par mic skills as a face, then sometimes less is more. Just have him be himself, and go by his real name. Let him talk some smack here or there how he's going to kick some ass and then let him go steal a show.

Until they scrap the Morrison gig, I don't think he'll make it to the big time.

[Lara Emily]

Morrison was a fucking star tonight. I always thought they cheezeballed the parcour thing but man has it been awesome the past two nights.

Pretty good RAW storyline wise, match was the best match was probably the Women's tag team match.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I'm pretty sure the hype video is for Tyler Black. The style makes sense, plus he did a dark match not that long ago.

[Lock Jaw]

Thoughts:

- Don't like how the CM Punk/Cena thing has been completely dropped in favor of Cena going for the title at Mania. Punk can probably get me into this feud with Orton when he gets adequate promo time, but the whole thing feels poorly planned. Like "Oh shit, Mania is coming! Drop everything! Let's do this instead!"

- Was pretty obvious Lawler was gonna win that rumble, because no way would they put him in the Chamber. Furthermore, it is obvious that Miz retains and Cena wins the Chamber. They need to come up with a less predictable Road to Wrestlemania.

- Mysterious promo dude is most likely Undertaker. 99.97% sure it isn't Sting.

- John Morrison is golden. He doesn't need a gimmick change, what he needs is for the company to get behind him. Give him some big wins. Give him the US title since Daniel Bryan is going nowhere fast. Build him up. Give him feuds. Make him look good.

[ThePhantom]

Overall a fairly decent Raw. I was really hoping to see Diesel or Booker, but meh, what can you do.

The Miz is my girlfriends favorite wrestler at the moment, and I really can't blame her. He is golden right now. That doesn't mean I can't hassle her about it though. Michael Cole is starting to get to me though. Which is probably a good thing, because that is what he is meant to do.

Good on Lawler for winning the Raw Rumble, although, this is clearly heading towards a Miz win at the Chamber, and I am 100% positive it will be because of Cole. This leads to Cole vs Lawler and Miz vs. Cena at WM.

One question though, am I the only one who wanted Del Rio to turn face and knock The Miz on his ass?

[MIZantine Empire]

why the fuck didn't lawler do something when all three of those retards were standing on the apron?
i figured he was supposed to, but just missed the spot.

[MIZantine Empire]

i was diggin miz getting a good pop from the crowd. plus with del rio and miz in the ring at the same time i almost exploded all over mys....i mean marked out hard. i guess the spear is legal again? and i agree with whoever said it, its painfully obvious cena wins the chamber match, and wins at mania. i think cole gave it away that lawler was winning tonight, how he kept going on about how he wont, and all that. i kinda have a sinking feeling that with the whole swerve thing lately they will have lawler win the title at the chamber..as far as the 2.21.11 thing, i have no clue. i cant imagine its an obvious thing like undertaker. sting is the guy vince never had, so why not? i just i dont know..maybe its the greatest promo man in the history of ever, Jumpin Jeff Farmer

[Lock Jaw]

Well... regardless, for the first time since No Mercy 2008 we have a RAW Title Match at a PPV that doesn't involve Cena/Orton/Batista.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

So my GF is convinced that Lawler is going to beat Miz and go to Wrestlemania, and she wants to bet me.

What are you going to bet her? If she wins you have sex with her. If you win she has sex with you?

[Fignuts]

I am pretty positive they are setting up cole to keep king from winning again, and setting something up at mania between them.

[James Steele]

There is no way they have Cole just keep hammering Lawler like this to not get his shit kicked in. I could see him costing Lawler at NWO and Lawler just destroys him. Lawler gets "fired", and JR comes in to present Lawler's challenge to Michael Cole to a match/street fight and if Lawler wins he gets his job back but if Cole wins...Lawler (and JR) will never be seen in WWE again! I could see Jerry Lawler/Jim Ross vs Alex Riley/Michael Cole. Give it 15 minutes (10 min match, 5 min JR/Lawler shitting on Cole) at WrestleMania, and it will be an easy crowd pleaser without wasting too much time.

[Tom Guycott]

So, RAW...

Loved the mariachi playing Del Rio's entrance. It's easy to nitpick that it could've sounded better, but sometimes, things like that come off better live than on over the air, especially not just being piped in and played off like they're really performing.

"More cowbell"- if only we had more like that from King, people wouldn't shit on his commentating so much.

Speaking of King, he's been featured in some random angles here and there as a quick fix to get someone over with a resulting blow off match a couple of weeks later, but nothing this prominent since his feud with Bret, or that thing where he and Doink had that Survivor Series match with all those midgets (I intentionally omitted ECW. That doesn't count.) Methinks he's hanging it up soon. I see him coming just short of getting the belt, following that old "it's better to go out on your back" adage. Cole won't be able to contain himself, Lawler will deck him, and then be subsequently fired by the GM, gaining Cole unbelievable levels of heat in the process.

DiBiase sold King's punch like a fucking champ!

(We interrupt this RAW commentary for the following: as I'm typing my thoughts on this week's RAW, I just now witnessed a Vasaline body wash commercial that prominently featured the Uso's theme. I know it's a production work, but geez, that usually doesn't happen till the person at least gets new music. Back to my rant currently in progress.)

End the speculation now: the vignettes are for 'taker. They don't always go the direct "Undertaker's coming back" route. They occasionally pull out the spooky music and vids of jumproping triplets, lightning in a cemetary, or made to look like the video from "The Ring". With that said, *If*, and that's a BIG *if* it is Sting, I'd not only be 100% wrong, but I'd MARK THE FUCK OUT LIKE JERICHO 1999!!

As for a returning HHH: methinks he's the GM, unless they pull another "did it for da Rock" moment and retcon it into Nash. More on that in a minute.

So, the top 2 guys in all of WWE get a commercial break, jobber entrance treatment? Ziggler now has a chance to become a world champion by having a woman pin another woman?? Those belts must sure be important. :shifty:

Loving Layla's "unsure, super chicken-shit heel" routine. Loved the whole cowering in a fetal mass thing, and the jumping on McCool like Shaggy and Scooby was a nice (and hot) touch. Also, it opens up a door for a face turn, as Michelle will get tired of carrying her.

Let me get this straight: Eve is the Diva's champion, yet Gail Kim is feuding with two valets over a guy- and CATFIGHTING them, no less? This bullshit has to stop!

...soooo, more dancing Samoans, WWE? I thought the Uso's were heels raging against stereotypes and misuse. Now they're jobbing to the guy who stole their girl with a bullshit (albeit VERY OVER) finisher, and having a dance-off? And on that note, this is a reason why I think HHH is the GM. That's a D-X like prank, along with when he was using everyone's catch phrases to end the e-mails.

THAT'S HOW YOU GET MORRISON OVER!!! PLAY. TO. HIS. STRENGTHS! He's not super compotent to deliver blockbuster, ground-shaking JoMo promo, and yes, he's in serious danger of falling into spot-monkey territory, but as long as you dont have him do 800 "wow" moments EVERY week, or make every match a ladder/cage/falls count anywhere where it gets old quick (they actually did that with Jeff Hardy, luckily the fangirls kept him afloat) and just get him over as a highly athletic and unorthodox threat, and you got a winner. Also, did I hear a (albeit faint and sweetened for TV) "You Fucked Up!" chant when R-Truth failed to skin the cat??

Right on with JOMO dude. Less is more with him. Like I siad in a previous page on here, if they could drop this stupid 70's rock star gimmick, the guy is gold.

And while I know this will piss off the IWC's, the stuff going on with Daniel Bryan is just embarrassing. If I were a big fan of him, I'd be enraged how mis-used this guy is. The ONLY feud he's had in this industry now consists of breaking up a catfight, way to go WWE.

They are absolutely letting a belt die with this now. It was kind of annoying the first month or so, but Bryan has had the belt what, 4 months now? How many feuds has he had over the belt, umm 0?

I have massively enjoyed what the WWE has done to elevate some new talent, but they are just absolutely destroying the credibility of their mid-card talent. They've dropped the ball on Bryan, Mark Henry, Ted DiBiase, Tyson Kidd, DH Smith, and to a lesser extent R-Truth. Right there are six guys you could mingle in with feuds for a US Title but now they're just all jokes and/or jobbers.

I was so happy Lawler won that match last night and all of us there last night were making out like bitches ... but today, I'm thinking, do you guys think he'll ready go to WM to face The Miz or will something change before then?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

He's fighting at EC, not WM.

Wait, what? I think I missed something.
