[Cool King]

Are we talking Raw technical difficulties or TPWW technical difficulties?

[Xero]

Yes.

[TheChairman]

Always exciting to see Stone Cold on Raw.

Interested in seeing where they go with R-Truth, although I would bet my house, car, and 55" tv that R-Truth will NEVER be WWE champion.

Hmm that is about the only storyline I can really say I am looking forward to tonight.

[Tazz Dan]

How long till the show starts? 90 minutes?

thats the doggone truth

[Xero]

lol if they resign Road Dogg to feud with Truth on a semi-main event level.

[Droford]

He could be the R-Dogg

[DLVH84]

He could be the R-Dogg

R-Dogg and R-Truth? LET'S GET ROWDY!!!

[Cool King]

Rowdy Truth.

Rowdy Dogg.

[TheChairman]

I'll take that bet.


What are you putting up my good sir?

[Droford]

R-Dogg and R-Truth? LET'S GET ROWDY!!!

Wheres K-Dawg when you need him.

"we be rowdy rowdy and bowdy bowdy"

[Providence Peep]

R-Truth has to apologize for his actions, or he won't get a Championship match.

i was gonna say that

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Would be shocked if it lasts longer than 2 minutes.

Whatevs, best 2 minutes of the show! WWWYKI</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol @ the final exhibition on Tough Enough just being 2 minutes of Andy and Luke punching/kicking/staring down Bill DeMott</font>

[RP]

If R-Truth ever becomes Wwe champion, I'll post a picture of my cock.

[RawRocks]

Vince shows up.. say it aint so!

[Droford]

If R-Truth ever becomes Wwe champion, I'll post a picture of my cock.

I can see him winning the WHC and you saying that doesnt count.

Considering they just gave the Miz a 5+ month reign, I wouldn't count out R-Truth, especially if his heel turn keeps progressing.

[Xero]

He's black, though.

[Providence Peep]

Nice to see VKM on TE

[RawRocks]

well that was certainly an interesting conclusion to Tough Enough.

[RawRocks]

what the hell is R Truth wearing?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>ROFL god Truth is so ridiculous</font>

[KIRA]

WTF rofl

[parkmania]

R-Truth is a good little soldier!

[Dragoneyes]

ok...if anyone didnt think truth was nuts already...i think this proves it

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Seriously, just give Truth the most improved/best new character/whatever Spammy is applicable RIGHT NOW</font>

[KIRA]

General R.Truth Lee

[RawRocks]

Ok this is getting stupid

[KIRA]

I LOVE THIS MAN SO MUCH RIGHT NOW!

[Rollermacka]

Lol, he marches out, "I sorry overy bodies". Is he gonna start tap dancing and eat some fried chicken? :shifty:

[Rollermacka]

And he can't speel eather LMAO

[Poit]

Wow, nice pop for Riley.

[el bobbo]

jackwagon?

[Innovator]

So no Rima?

[RawRocks]

Good God

[RawRocks]

Vince: Michael Cole, Shaaaadddup! :lol: :lol:

[Xero]

Good opening segment... Until Cena, who of course was playing the sarcastically obvious douchebag.

Seriously, overall, a great segment. Pretty sure Truth is my #1 character in WWE now.

[Providence Peep]

Thoughts on the winner/loser of Tough Enough?

[el bobbo]

Nice seeing a Popeye's ad after an R-Truth segment.

[RawRocks]

Thoughts on the winner/loser of Tough Enough?

Luke should have won IMHO.

[Providence Peep]

Luke = Orton
Andy = Kane

I'm thinking about leaving tna

[Shisen Kopf]

This show is pretty crappy. Why do I keep watching this every week?

[Rollermacka]

Thoughts on the winner/loser of Tough Enough?

I still gotta say it, the only reason Matt was cut so early was because he's M-Dogg 20. He gets the boot when the 11 year pro can't run the ropes and Eric runs a 40 minute mile?

[ClockShot]

Hey guys. I see the forums are up and running again.

[Providence Peep]

Am I the only one here who thinks this week's RAW has been less than spectacular so far?

[Rollermacka]

Jeez, Beths arms look as big as mine... Its kinda turning me on :naughty:

[Innovator]

Oh shit, BOOK

[ClockShot]

Bookerman getting back in the ring. Wonder if he got some rust or if he's been staying in shape?

[Innovator]

PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNK

[Innovator]

AND HES SITTING

[Providence Peep]

Almost 1/2 way into the show and this thread only has two pages.
Oh, and hey, Mysterio vs. Punk. Can't wait. We've never seen this one before.

[Jura]

Reyan Masonerio

[Cool King]

So Ryan is no longer from Cardiff then?

He's from his actual hometown now.

[Xero]

At least he didn't move to Australia or something.

[Cuse8]

Thoughts on the winner/loser of Tough Enough?

cant believe luke didnt win..vince even said himself right after "i would have chosen the other guy"

they could have made luke miz's new go to guy, gives him all the time in the world till hes ready yet keeps him on camera and in everyones mind

[DrCrawford]

charles robinsons faces when someone does a move are fucking ridiculous

[Providence Peep]

Tonight's RAW is taking place in the same arena where the very first Survivor Series was held. That was all the way back in 1992, and it was a helluva lot better than tonight's RAW.

[ClockShot]

Lame.

[Xero]

Tonight's RAW is taking place in the same arena where the very first Survivor Series was held. That was all the way back in 1992, and it was a helluva lot better than tonight's RAW.

What? The first Survivor Series was in 87.

[Xero]

And they're in Virginia, not even the same state as either the 92 or 87 SSeries.

[Rollermacka]

This whole Obama segments are pretty stupid, where's Bob Backlund when you need him

[Xero]

lol, the other ones were stupid, but that was pretty funny. Because of Truth, obviously.

[Providence Peep]

What? The first Survivor Series was in 87.

My bad.
And by the way, it wasn't the Richmond Coliseum. It was the Richfield Coliseum.
Hey, that WCW "Best of Nitro" DVD looks better than tonight's RAW has been.

[DrCrawford]

god i miss 97-98 wcw

[Cool King]

Do the Capitol Punishment promos really need those chessy dream sequences? :-\

[ClockShot]

Awwww. So many fond memories on Nitro. I wonder what they crammed into that set?

[Xero]

Do the Capitol Punishment promos really need those chessy dream sequences? :-\

I've assumed that they did it to make it obvious it wasn't real.

Which means they thought someone might think Obama really did those promos.

And they are probably right.

[Cool King]

All Star night?

I thought the game sold well?

[ClockShot]

All-Star Night?

A. Where was the memo on this?

B. Is the Video game doing that bad?

C. ALBERTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[PorkSoda]

OMG NITRO DVD COMES OUT TOMORROW

I would have told you ten minutes earlier but it took ten minutes to boot up a fuggin laptop

[Xero]

I think it was more of a matter of not having anything to do with the 3 Hour RAW. I think this next one or the week after (which is also a three hour RAW) was supposed to be the draft.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Bad news for his Survivor owner.</font>

[Cool King]

Cole: *Snort*....*Snort*....*Snort*

[Rollermacka]

Lol, this is pretty funny but Kane isn't gonna be happy that Del Rio is making fun of his life partner.


Side note, I haven't been watching much are they doing anything with Brodus Clay?

[Cool King]

So I take it that Ryder will be facing Kingston then?

If so, then I hope Ryder wins, just so he can get on the US Title scene.

[Providence Peep]

I think it was more of a matter of not having anything to do with the 3 Hour RAW. I think this next one or the week after (which is also a three hour RAW) was supposed to be the draft.

Maybe it's time for another Old School Raw.

Zack Ziggler? Cmon Cole.

[Poit]

Holy crap, they're talking about Ryder's Youtube series on Raw.

[Innovator]

WOO WOO WOO YOU KNOW IT

[Emperor Smeat]

Looks like Kofi won't have a chance of being Broski of the week by not letting Ryder have a win.

[Poit]

Michael Cole should never say "sucka" again.

[Cool King]

Technical difficulties with TPWW tonight.

[Providence Peep]

Technical difficulties with TPWW tonight.

What else is new? There are technical difficulties with TPWW every Monday night.

[Cool King]

Just heard Cena making a call for a bulldog.

[ClockShot]

Riley could have scored points if he nailed cena with that case.

[Jura]

Please stun Cena at the end.

[RawRocks]

Good finish Cole gets stunned, a beer bath and FU'ed.. and that stupid computer got destroyed.

[DrCrawford]

that end segment made raw. cena drinking beer in front of the kids?! OH GNOES!

[Cool King]

Why would the Anonymous General Manager, who's not happy at Austin, punish him by making him GM of next weeks Raw? :-\

[Jordan]

What a fucking glorious Raw. I felt like I was in a time paradox 2011 mixed with 1997, amazing Raw.

[Jordan]

LOL chillax on the logic, it's not needed.

[Providence Peep]

What a fucking glorious Raw. I felt like I was in a time paradox 2011 mixed with 1997, amazing Raw.

The last 10 minutes of Raw were the best part of the show.

[Jordan]

How about the opening segment? Ryder on Raw, Kofi kickin teeth, Rey/Punk 42, and of course the fuckin main event, oh and props to Santino and McGulicutty for the opening match being hot. I loved this Raw, one of the best in a long time, and that's saying something because it's been damn good all year.

[MIZantine Empire]

Lol, this is pretty funny but Kane isn't gonna be happy that Del Rio is making fun of his life partner.


Side note, I haven't been watching much are they doing anything with Brodus Clay?
are they doing anything with big brodus? in a nutshell, nope.

[MIZantine Empire]

Just heard Cena making a call for a bulldog.
yea, and it was blatantly loud and obvious, i wasnt even paying attention at that moment and i clearly heard it, lol.

[Jordan]

Brodus should take on Mark Henry and turn face with Snoop Dog in his corner

[Jordan]

And get 3 6 for Henry, gold.

[MIZantine Empire]

i couldnt help but think that when cena wears the belt it looks like he is wearing a fanny pack.
loved seeing vince, and seeing him and austin together in the ring brought back so many memories, was nice.
loved how loud austin was when he called the miz a motherfucker, lol.
biggest lol of the night for me was the kid in the crowd who had a sign that said "kharma is my baby momma" might have said awesome kong, i dont remember. also loved the huge pop miz got in the opening.

[James Steele]

Andy only won because he is a big son of a bitch. As long as he stays the fuck away from a mic he will be fine.

[Jordan]

Andy did blow the mic worse than a 17 year old fat girl with braces, but he has some Ultimate Warrior energy as he got the crowd to their feet and made the decision easy for Austin.

[Lock Jaw]

Zack Ryder got no reaction at all. Didn't spot any signs today either. Guess the city they were in in did not Know It, Bro.

[Volare]

I loved Vince McMahon's Bullshit suit.

[Volare]

IMO Luke has more momentum now than Andy will. Luke can say "you all thought I was gone, and here I am...yadda yadda yadda.

[Flash Funk]

Flash Funk's Bag Report: RAW June 6th, 2011

Bag Men:
Booker T
The Kofi video package
Dolph on commentary

Bag Heads:
The crowd for no reaction to Ryder and hardly any for the Booka man
Michael Cole
The New Nexus

[Tazz Dan]

The crowd was dead all night.

Also, just read that Cena injured Miz in the dark match

[Droford]

I assume that the Rock has to come back for next week since its All Stars night and Austin's gonna be involved..

[Rock Bottom]

shit crowd. thats booker t, show a little respect, or at least show something

[Nervous Ferret]

Damn, that was really good actually. Loved it

[Nervous Ferret]

Generic wrestlers wearing black tights using their real names

[MIZantine Empire]

i love how they have the bellas in an anti bullying ad, and last week they put the screws to kharma...

[Londoner]

Just seen the austin segments as i just found out he was on the show thanks to a thread on here, can't wait for next week.:cool:

[Tom Guycott]

TttP:

-Why did R-Truth get a POP for his "inbred rednecks" line? C'mon, people, he's reading his heel run straight from heel 101. You're supposed to boo that. Don't put your business in the streets like that, VA!

-HA! Trump'd by Vinnie Mac! Take that, Lock Jaw!

-LOL @ Ulti-Marella Warrior!

-Looking at the Diva's match, I'm amazed at how far Kelly Kelly has progressed. She's gone from Nitro Girl-lite, to generic arm charm for pre-beard Mike Knox, and has slowly gained the ability to perform watchable women's matches... even against the Bellas. In all seriousness, she's kinda like the new Trish.

-Speaking of Trish: yum. Also, didn't see that challenge coming out of left field. I thought they were setting up for a "this isn't what it looks like/DAMN!" moment.

-So, Book gets 2 matches since returning AND is on SD! desk, Nash is only seen once in the Rumble. Should we get R-Truth on this case too? (FYI: I'm not a huge mark for Nash like some around here. I'm just saying. Seems kinda lopsided.)

-Punk's goatee makes him look like "Evil Spock" or Space Ghost's brother. It somehow looks fake. That gives me an idea: someone should get a face/heel gimmick with a fake goatee. They stick it on, they're heel. They take it off, they're face, and they're both oblivious to the other. Hell, if they could get away with Festus for so long, this could work! (I didn't say it was a GOOD idea.)

-WWE: STOP WITH THE GORRAM "PRESS CONFERENCE"!!! ALMOST AS NOT FUNNY AS JIMMY FALLO... wait, not that bad, but still, pretty unfunny.

-Jobber entrance for Ryder, but he still gets a match. Jobbing to Kingston on RAW is better than jobbing to anyone on Superstars. Wonder if he got a face pop in spite of working as a heel AND coming out with HeelZiggler and Vickie. And since ADR has a ring announcer, does ZR now have a personal commentator in Dolph? Also, Vickie not doing that whiny heel playup thing actually sounds kinda hot. Like a phone sex operator. Also also, was Ziggler pretending to be Barney Stinson tonight?? And Cole: Zack Ziggler?? Are you serious, bro??

-And finally, I get you're trying to put it over after re-launching the show, but c'mon, it's not like they've had a stellar long-term track record with Tough Enough winners. JoMo is an exeption to that rule, and Nowinski doesn't count, he didn't win. (To be fair, Cappotelli had a more serious problem. He might have made it big, if not for health issues.) Back on subject, way to welcome the guy who's supposed to be your future star by having the boss slap him and then become Stunner fodder.

[Jordan]

Oh come on, what the fuck did you expect? The guy has 0 credibility and everybody wanted to see a stunner more than they didn't.

[Hanso Amore]

I think Taking a slap from VKM and a Stunner from the greatest ever is a pretty fucking amazing welcome.

Shows he made it. I would take it in a heartbeat.

[Hanso Amore]

Like the dude probably went backstage and was loving it.

[CSL]

lollll Cena's dropkick on R-Truth

[CSL]

I think Taking a slap from VKM and a Stunner from the greatest ever is a pretty fucking amazing welcome.

And a thousand times this.

[Innovator]

I would've taken both with a smile on my face.

Vince is IMMENSE. He just oozes personality and charisma, and every time he shows up I can't help but mark out.

I thought he was the weakest part of the opening. He started talking about Truth's first name for 3 minutes, downplaying Truth's cup of coffee in the big time cup of coffee in big time YEAH

[Jordan]

Yeah he was the weakest part of a fucking A+ segment with R-Truth, Cena, Stone Cold, Miz, and Riley... That opening was awesome, I felt like I was in 1998 or something it was just awesome.

Plus anything stupid Vince did was redeemed with this mark out moment...

[DAMN iNATOR]

I know they probably went ahead and rushed Booker v. Swagger due to "time constraints" (i.e. they had to make sure they left enough time to do the main event), but I still would have marked to see Booker's pyro. (\/):
