Official RAW Thread for 5/2/11 - Happy Birthday Rock

[Mr. C]

Got to be honest, The Rock’s stuff is what I’m least excited about for RAW. I’m much more interested in Kong and R-Truth than I am with Rock hogging up the show. Having said that, it could be entertaining, especially if John Cena gets involved and some names from Rock’s past.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Former WWE Diva Lilian Garcia and WWE Hall of Famer Mae Young are both scheduled to appear during Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s birthday celebration tonight on RAW.

GOOD LORD...:nono:

[Xero]

GOOD LORD...:nono:

[JimmyMess]

"PUPPIES"

[DAMN iNATOR]

"PUPPIES"

Mae's are probably old bloodhounds by now.

[JimmyMess]

...... ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. but i laughded

[Lock Jaw]

Rock should give a shout out to The Peep's Champ.

[Corndad]

"Easy big fella"....Lillian wants the Strudel lol

I'm looking forward to how they progress this R-Truth Heel turn as well. He has been the highlight the last two weeks and I never thought I would ever say that. Ever.

Also wondering where they take Del Rio and who they match him up with.

[Volare]

Truth should come out and shoot on the Rock. That'll get him over.

[ClockShot]

Little early for this ain't it?

Was reading on the main page WWE contacted The Coach to see if he would be able to appear tonight. Haven't heard anything yet, but I would walk away from a sweet gig from ESPN.

Obviously gonna watch this for The Rock. I'm curious to see what creative got planned for Del Rio now that he's on Raw and missed out on the title again. Program with Cena/Miz perhaps?

[MoFo]

Faarooq is there too.

God I hope Foley shows up :)

[Fox]

Should be interesting. Cena promised to win the WWE Title so he can defend it against Rock at Mania - I'd love to see a stand off between the two men with Cena holding the belt. I would fully expect Rock to make fun of the shitty, kids toy looking championship belt.

[CSL]

Because that would be a smart and necessary move.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

BREAKING NEWS

TNA wrestler and former WWE champion Mick Foley was spotted at Miami International Airport Monday afternoon. Mick stopped briefly to chat with fans and sign a few autographs. When asked if he was in town to make an appearance at tonight's WWE Raw at AmericanAirlines Arena, Foley smiled and shrugged his shoulders but did not reveal any details.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Would be nice if it happened, but I don't know how TNA management would feel about Foley fraternizing w/WWE. Maybe he's such a legend they wouldn't care...not gonna hold my breath for too long hoping 4 an appearance tho.

[JimmyMess]

Would be nice if it happened, but I don't know how TNA management would feel about Foley fraternizing w/WWE. Maybe he's such a legend they wouldn't care...not gonna hold my breath for too long hoping 4 an appearance tho.

I read that TNA was alright with him doing it but WWE opted to pass on Foley...

[Volare]

And I called Bullshit on WWE wanting to pass on Rock n Sock.

[Mr. C]

Dave Meltzer is reporting that the following names are backstage at tonight’s RAW:

Jim Ross
Lillian Garcia
Mae Young
Ron Simmons

A website known for making up news is claiming Dixie Carter and Mick Foley are at RAW. There is no truth to this report.

Also, John Cena vs. The Miz for the WWE Championship has been announced.

[Droford]

LOL if the Rock screws Cena out of the belt to the Miz again.

[VSG]

I would argue The Rock helps Cena out and says he wants to take the belt from Cena at WM28. Of course Cena will then have lost the belt to Del Rio.

[ClockShot]

MIAMI................SHUT UP!

[Corndad]

Here we go...

[CSL]

They're clearly setting up some kind of USA celebration here only to bring out George W. Bush at the end to turn heel on America and set a huge storyline in motion

[ClockShot]

U-S-A U-S-A U-S-A!

[Corndad]

I get chills seeing this Smackdown every time.

[CSL]

I love JBL but I'm really glad he's not a politician

[Juan]

USA Rulz

[CSL]

Lilian's chin has been on the gear since she left, no way that passes a piss test

[Corndad]

Nice Touch here.

[parkmania]

So WWE doesn't have footage of their previous shows without the superimposed WWF scratch logo?!?!?!? :nono:

They had to blur out the corner and put the WWE logo over it...

[PorkSoda]

Holy shit.....nice pipes Lilian

[Splaya]

Straight crying right now. What a moment

[parkmania]

Does Lillian sing Happy Birthday to Rock and get another embarassment about wanting the People's Streudel?

[CSL]

Straight crying right now. What a moment

kid art thou serious

[Corndad]

Im gonna go with the early prediction here...

Servers go down at least 3 times tonight lol

[BizarroKing]

Will we see Mick Foley?

[ClockShot]

........................................home.

[ClockShot]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

[Corndad]

lol Old School Rock

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I expect a reading of the Declaration of Independence later in the show from Santino.</font>

[Loose Cannon]

had thoughts of Hassans music hitting during the Pledge of Allegiance :drool:

[ClockShot]

Cole's a dead man already.

[PorkSoda]

I would just completely mark the fuck out if Mick Foley came out and did a sequel to the "This is your life"

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Urban dictionary result for jack bag

-Jack bag-a military issued sleeping bag that deployed soldiers sleep in and masturbate in before going to sleep at night thinking about their bitch back home or due to the absence of woman. THis sleeping bag can become very foul throughout the course of a deployment. So be weary next time you shop for a used sleeping bag at the Army surplus store.

[Corndad]

[CSL]

[Corndad]

The Hell.. Rock. You know this isn't a four hour show right?

[RP]

Can we throw Pitbul in the ocean too?

[Poit]

Should I have any idea who this is?

[ClockShot]

Pitbull? Who is this? Some local rapper or something?

Whoa! The Heat Cheerleaders. :drool:

[Loose Cannon]

[parkmania]

Who in the blue hell is this with the Heat dancers?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>30 minutes in and no commercials. Impressive.</font>

[RP]

horrible

[Corndad]

And 45 mins in we might see Wrestling lol

[Loose Cannon]

woah, was that old school Rock music I just heard. hell yea

[RP]

So R Truth had one of the worst heel turn attempts ever

[ClockShot]

Jim Ross at the table. How long is he gonna stay there tonight?

[Corndad]

Oh shit! That would have been sweeter in Slow Mo

[RP]

Or as jr would have you believe " an amazing metamorphis"

[BizarroKing]

Uhm...Ouch.

[Emperor Smeat]

So much for R-Truth vs Morrison match being the first tonight.

[CSL]

Morrison is boring even when he's getting twatted

[ClockShot]

The Truth hurts.

[Corndad]

Wow they really are taking the Wrestling out of Sports Entertainment tonight aren't they lol

[RP]

Is the Rock coming back to wrestle full time?

[Juan]

Uso's jobbing to Vaseline now

[Juan]

Is the Rock coming back to wrestle full time?

No

[RP]

Why is he back then?

[VSG]

Vaseline men are now using the Uso theme.

[CSL]

MARYYYYSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Corndad]

Time for Kharma to be fed...

[RP]

Thank his for this diva match

[ClockShot]

Me thinks this is a good time for Kong to make her debut.

[Poit]

*waits for Kong to come out*

[Corndad]

Just when you think a match will occur...

DAMN she is huge

[RP]

These bitches are hot

[LoDownM]

lol, so what there has been like 15 seconds of wrestling so far?

[Jura]

Yeah run like hell black ref.

[PorkSoda]

Kharma is here!

This is awesome!

I like how the camera is somewhat tilted up to make her look taller/bigger

[BizarroKing]

and heeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrreeeeeee's KHARMA!

[Emperor Smeat]

Are they supposed to be scared because Kharma is black or because she's tough?

[Juan]

Just when you think a match will occur...

DAMN she is huge

I'm sensing a theme in your posts today

[ClockShot]

I dig the entrance theme.

[BizarroKing]

Impressive stuff by <strike>Kong</strike> Kharma but let's see. 45 minutes in, 2 matches, no finish...yay?

[Corndad]

I thought Riley was drafted?

[RP]

When did the Wwe sign the fat chick from Precious?

[ClockShot]

I seem to recall Riley getting bounced to smackdown.

What's he doing here besides probably getting "fired" tonight then starting on smackdown?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I thought Riley was traded?

Talent from both shows are there for The Rock's birthday.... yup - pretty much every reason to blur the split.

[Corndad]

When did the Wwe sign the fat chick from Precious?

:rofl:

[PorkSoda]

Samuel Jackson! And I hope you have a million more!

[Corndad]

A Kaitlyn Sighting!

[RP]

How tall is Rock?

[ClockShot]

DAMN!

[Corndad]

DAMN!

[RP]

Damn!

[HeartBreakMan2k]

DAMN lol. It's awesome how well he does just that one word.

[CSL]

6'2-6'3 maybe, billed as a bit taller

[RP]

Lol Randy Orton movie

[RP]

6'2-6'3 maybe, billed as a bit taller

So all the divas are 6'1ish? Cause they were as tall as him.

[Juan]

They're probably wearing stripper high heels too

[CSL]

So all the divas are 6'1ish? Cause they were as tall as him.

[Juan]

lol Steve Carell

[CSL]

I do love Steve Carell

[Corndad]

Steve Carell lol

[Poit]

Steve Carrell is really putting the Rock over.

[Snowden]

Lmao @ Steve Carell. That man is gold.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Calling it right now: Miz never took the MITB contract out of the briefcase. He jobs only to "cash in" a second time and win the belt back.

Would certainly explain keeping the briefcase around all these months.</font> :shifty:

[CSL]

That is completely illogical and makes no sense.

[CSL]

So therefore it could happen.

[ClockShot]

There goes the ref.

[Jura]

Nice sell by the ref.

[Juan]

wow this match

[Juan]

booooooooo

[ClockShot]

Lame.

[CSL]

they have well and truly 'got them' with this match, outstanding

[CSL]

probably all to do with Miz though because we all know that Cena is the worst wrestler of all time in the history of the universe

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Great match, cool ending.

Def wanted to see Riley punch Miz in the face afterwards. If he does ever turn on Miz he could be a pretty damn over face for SmackDown.</font>

[Poit]

The Miz's second WWE Championship NEVER HAPPENED.

[Snowden]

Really really sold showing tonight. A well booked match too...Miz looked heelish AND strong.

[Snowden]

Ellen pales in comparison to Michael Scott.

[Emperor Smeat]

Good match and :lol: how the title just slips onto the floor and everyone stops to look at it.

meh at Cena magically pops up after the DQ announcement and destroys both guys like nothing happened but still a good match and ending.

[Corndad]

Riley has potential to be a strong face on SD! once him and Miz break up.

[CSL]

He can be a strong anything, he is excellent

[Poit]

He can be a strong anything, he is excellent

:y:

[ClockShot]

ALBERTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Corndad]

Well Del Rio don't look like he's in this match lol

[ClockShot]

Tag team of new blood.

ok.

[CSL]

something about rey, kofi and a spotfest

what

there's a big difference between guys that incorporate flashy/high flying stuff into their matches and spot monkeys

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Another Rey/Del Rio feud coming up apparently</font>

[CSL]

WWE pulling out Ari Gold and Buffy's fine ass sister

[Corndad]

Luda

[Poit]

CHRISTIAN!

[Corndad]

A Peep Sighting on Raw!

[CSL]

lol Rock deadpanning Dolph

[ClockShot]

But, but, we don't want you to hold the WWE Title until wrestlemania, John.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Kane/Mason Ryan main event :wtf:

Maybe the Nexus actually does something important.</font>

[Corndad]

Can you say long over run

[BizarroKing]

We actually ending the night with this? Surely we have something else planned.

[ClockShot]

Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllll

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Think this Mason fellow might be getting a push here.

[ClockShot]

Batista's evil twin getting a push?

[RP]

Bautista with hair

[ClockShot]

Either this is going to be the fastest celebration ever. Or USA is giving Raw some bigtime overrun.

[Corndad]

LOL at the Birthday Hats

[Londoner]

Batista's evil twin getting a push?

Batista's told him some cheat codes.

Yeh yeh i know that jokes old.

Bit late joining tonight, only just woke up, i see they've changed Rock's theme back.

[Corndad]

VINCE!

[CSL]

Vincent Kennedy McMahon son

[ClockShot]

Vinny Mac in da house.

[RP]

I hope there is a heel turn coming

[Snowden]

Vince on the verge of tears there.

[El Fangel]

I decided to watch raw tonight since it was The Rock themed birthday.

So far I have seen Cena doing what he did 5 years ago, where he doesnt even lose when he loses and got to see Dull Rio.

Rock segment was pretty good but my god, the fact Cena is STILL pushed as superman is really turning me off.

[ClockShot]

Mya? Where'd they dig her up?

[RP]

Rock is gunna destroy Mya's vagina tonight

[Juan]

Damn. Haven't seen Mya in years

[Corndad]

Mya? Really?

[RP]

I hope HHH comes out and pedigrees him

[RP]

This is gay

[Supreme Olajuwon]

haha Rock's got goosebumps

[RP]

Stone Cold stunner imo

[Dragoneyes]

As much of a bitch as it would have been to set up cross-promotionaly, i wish they would have been able to get Mick there.

[Corndad]

Hello Clean Up Crew...

[BizarroKing]

Hmm...nope, no run-ins? OK guess not.

[VSG]

That was a ridiculously expensive episode of Raw.

[Xero]

Dunno about the end, really. Rock deserves something like that, I suppose, but come on. There should have been SOME angle there. Not a literal birthday celebration.

With that said, other than the last segment, this was one awesome RAW.

[Mr. C]

The stuff at the start was overkill, and the thing at the end was nice, but not interesting. Best parts of the show were John Cena vs. The Miz, Kong, and R-Truth.

6.5/10

[Lock Jaw]

This was one crappy RAW.

[Lock Jaw]

Best part of the show was me visualizing the confetti/balloons/fireworks being last night when Christian won the title.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Kept hoping for Foley. Very very slim hope, but it was still there gnawing at me.</font> :(

[Poit]

Same here Vito. Ah well.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Are they REALLY going to have Cena hold on to the title for that long until WrestleMania? Are they trying to make people not want to watch Raw for the next 11 months?

[El Fangel]

Are they REALLY going to have Cena hold on to the title for that long until WrestleMania? Are they trying to make people not want to watch Raw for the next 11 months?

If so, it's working.

[St. Jimmy]

Bury Talent = Receive Party

WIN. :n:

[Dukelorange]

I thought the beginning was very classy. The end was as well. They had a couple of decent matches, and also tried to create some new programs. The Rock's birthday segments ran a little long, but I enjoyed the show. Just not as much as I enjoyed the new epsiode of Chuck!!!

[Fox]

Would've been better if Cena showed up and gave Rock an Attitude Adjustment through a table with a birthday cake on it. Build the damn feud!

[Juan]

Bury Talent = Receive Party

WIN. :n:

You're an idiot.

[Team Sheep]

I enjoyed it, just weird that they threw him a legit party with no angles involved. It's like he's just retired and we're never going to see him again.

[Jura]

That kind of made me feel like he will go into the Hall of Fame next year.

[Volare]

Yeah that was def. a HOF Video package right there.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Cena v. Miz was a great match. Everything else was doo doo.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Actually, it was good to see Kharma too. Everything ELSE was doo doo.

[The Jayman]

Best part of the show was me visualizing the confetti/balloons/fireworks being last night when Christian won the title.

maybe we will see that on smackdown this week :cool:

[The Naitch]

yeah, if they were gonna have Cena confront Rock at the party backstage, it would've been better to have them do that confrontation as the confetti came down

I thought it was a huge stroke to Rock's ego to have a party with no angles involved. A little too much. And this is coming from the biggest Rock mark on these forums, aside from Rock Bottom.

After watching the Kingston/Rey vs. Drew/Swagger match, RAW is starting to feel like Smackdown now. It's nice to have a new roster on RAW now.

Also, the New Nexus seems totally pointless. Just like someone posted earlier, it feels like nWo 2000. I don't know, I just don't see anything special with Mason Ryan. Just your average generic roided up big man. A poor man's Batista. Unless they give him a better gimmick and personality. He needs a fucking haircut. His moveset and finisher sucks too. They need to do something better with him. But I'll give it a chance. Remember, Batista first started out as Deacon Batista.

[Lock Jaw]

I was really bummed out when the New Nexus came back after Wrestlemania. Was just kinda hoping they'd stay gone.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think Deacon Batista was his best work.

[Lock Jaw]

I think Deacon Batista was his best work.

Not even a little bit. His last run was money.

His stand up comedy gimmick was going to be awesome too. Too bad.

Calling it right now: Miz never took the MITB contract out of the briefcase. He jobs only to "cash in" a second time and win the belt back.

Would certainly explain keeping the briefcase around all these months. :shifty:
the briefcase was the one they carried the belt in when they traveled. they long since got rid of the red MITB briefcase.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The only thing I had a problem with Raw was: they didn't have Truth debut whatever new heel music he was going to have. The debate continues....

[MIZantine Empire]

i love kong/kharmas music..fits her gimmick/her perfectly. i also loved how you could hear truth say "who gives a fuck" during the attack and the refs breaking it up. kelly kelly is rediculously hot...wow. miz and cena put on one hell of a match and i seriously hope they do not plan on putting that title on cena for nearly a year. by the way during the ppv i love how much emphasis they put on cena not bein champ for 10 months. like seriously im almost willing to bet 10 months is one of the shorter time periods inbetween heavyweight title runs.

[CSL]

popped collars went out fo style long time ago, am I correct?

Zis vas kind of ze point

[The Naitch]

vut about ze pink?

[The Fraze]

And this is coming from the biggest Rock mark on these forums, aside from Rock Bottom.

Something's wrong, here.

[CSL]

I feel like I'm waiting on a gift that isn't forthcoming

[parkmania]

Since I fell asleep after the first Rock segment I need to ask - did anyone make a mention of Mya potentially putting her "Lady Marmalade" on Rock's "Streudel"?


Oh, and when did Sgt. Craig "Pitbull" Pittman get Michael Jackson skin bleaching?

[St. Jimmy]

You're an idiot.

Fuckin' muties.

[addy2hotty]

I know it was The Rock's birthday and all but I've never ever seen such a suck-up festival like that was.

Perhaps it was part of his contract or something as it was pretty fucking embarassing.

Honestly never seen a Raw quite like that one.

[XCaliber]

This one's for Mike Chioda for not being blind like he is most of the time. :foc:

[XL]

He presumed that Miz hit Cena with the belt. He didn't know. Bullshit call! :shifty:

[Lock Jaw]

kelly kelly is rediculously hot...wow.

She might be related to Narc from the looks of it.

[MIZantine Empire]

she would probably have that exact same look after seeing me naked.
