The Raw Thread 18/07/11 - Doesn't need a subtitle for hype

[#BROKEN Hasney]

This is the part where I talk you into the thread. Seriously, if you're not amped for this one, you're in the wrong forum.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

P.S. Posting how the server sucks when it goes down is the most counter-productive thing you can do and won't change anything, you animals.

Smooches xxx

[Rock Bottom]

Yeah, after last night, I wanna see Raw as much as I wanted to see MITB last night. I might actually give a shit about a Cena promo too.

That's fucking wrong.

[Londoner]

Could be the biggest raw thread in a long time if the server can hold it together.

[Nervous Ferret]

What happened at the pay per view event? I know i could read it on the wwe.com or even right here on the tpww.net homepage! But i want to hear it from one of you fine folk

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, after last night, I wanna see Raw as much as I wanted to see MITB last night. I might actually give a shit about a Cena promo too.

That's fucking wrong.

Cena stuck to his moral code and in doing so, lost the match, his precious WWE title which is gone from the company "forever" and cost him his job if Vince is a man of his word.

With no Punk as part of the storyline, I'm damn interested in what Cena has to say and if Vince really fires him. Really think Cena is going home to heal for a bit though, this isn't going to be like that shitty Nexus firing if they're booking like this right now.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

What happened at the pay per view event? I know i could read it on the wwe.com or even right here on the tpww.net homepage! But i want to hear it from one of you fine folk

Daniel Bryan won the SD MITB
Mark Henry beat Big Show
Kelly Kelly beat Brie Bella
Del Rio won Raw MITB
Christian beat Orton
CM Punk beat Cena and left with the title. Del Rio tried to cash in on McMahon's orders, but Punk took him out before he could cash in.

[FearedSanctity]

Yeah, pretty sure this firing will stick for at least a few weeks, especially since Punk mentioned how long is lasted the last time.

Taking a bit off and coming back after trying to maintain his "moral code" caused him to lose the title AND be fired seems as good a chance as any to get to that long awaited heel turn

[Rock Bottom]

On a side note, with SummerSlam being in LA, The Rock could be a possibility, no?

[Rock Bottom]

What happened at the pay per view event? I know i could read it on the wwe.com or even right here on the tpww.net homepage! But i want to hear it from one of you fine folk

If you wanna see something awesome and have about 40 minutes to kill, dig out the CM Punk vs. Cena match. I'd send you to my visitor page for the link there but the video lags out through an Attitude Adjustment that is just extremely crucial to making CM Punk.

[Shisen Kopf]

I just want to know how the hell is Alberto of the River going to cash in title shot for the world-wide championship of complete weight??

[Mooияakeя™]

Will record this and watch tomorrow due to it being on in the morning here in the UK. Wouldn't matter anyway cos of this place going down. Cannot wait to get back in from work though. Don't recall last time I said that. Oh yeah I do, circa 2000... except I think we had to wait till Friday's.

[XL]

<marquee>NEED A STREAM. PLEASE.</marquee>

[Juan]

Aren't Raw streams all over Justin.tv? Or did that stop?

[Shisen Kopf]

<marquee>I DONT KNOW WHERE THE RASSLIN STREAMS ARE AT YO!</marquee>

[Rock Bottom]

I just want to know how the hell is Alberto of the River going to cash in title shot for the world-wide championship of complete weight??

My guess is that if Punk isn't around (even if just kayfabe) that Del Rio is going to demand to be named the new WWE Champion in any situation where the title is "vacated."

Vince may also introduce a new title. So much shit can happen. Crazy.

[LK]

Really looking forward to seeing what happens tonight. Can only hope they keep the heat up.

[Kal-El]

I just hope that they change that shitty wwe belt once and for all . . . that bling piece of shit is garbage.

[Londoner]

Wonder if Vince brings the old title back tonight, or is that asking too much?!

[LK]

The one ala 1998 - 2001?

[Juan]

There were reports that WWE had a new WWE belt made a while ago, so if anything he'd probably introduce that one.

[Londoner]

The one ala 1998 - 2001?

yeh or atleast just something similar looking

[Kal-El]

I wouldn't mind if they brought that belt back, better than the one they have now.

[Rock Bottom]

AHAHAHAHA LOL

From Nov. 30, 2010

PWInsider.com is reporting that a brand new WWE Title has was made several months ago and will be debuted eventually as a replacement for the current spinner title which was introduced by John Cena. There is talk of possibly having Miz bring out the new belt soon as part of his title run.

[Rock Bottom]

That's my new siggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

[LK]

They generally make good belts, so as long as it doesn't spin, a new belt will be an improvement.

[Londoner]

From Nov. 30, 2010

Well looks like they've found a way to finally introduce it!

[Juan]

Tonight's episode of WWE Monday Night RAW will kick off with an appearance from WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon.

Mr. McMcMahon will address the WWE Universe regarding the events that transpired at last night's Money in the Bank pay-per-view.

WWE hinted on the company's official Twitter page that Mr. McMahon will also address whether John Cena will be "fired" after losing the WWE championship to C.M. Punk, as per the match stipulation.

[Londoner]

Was just about to say i fully expect Raw to start like that.

[Kal-El]

Don't fire me? . . . I'm sure he'll just give them the 5 moves of doom and get to keep his job !

[Juan]

Punk @ the Chicago Cubs game

http://yfrog.com/kkgn1wzj

[Avenger]

anyone have a stream?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I would love for Raw to open with a replay of last night, Punk winning, and then with Del Rio coming out... Have it cut off when Del Rio hits the ring. Then have Raw begin with them announcing Del Rio as the champion, and Vince acting like Del Rio came out and beat Punk, just for everyone to be confused... Have Lawler say that didn't happen, only for Vince to flip out and "fire" him, etc.

[Rock Bottom]

More likely that ADR will come out after Vince and agree that it's Cena's fault, and that if Cena would have beaten Punk he'd have cashed it in to fulfill his destiny, and that Vince should fire his ass and proclaim him the champion, and yada yada.

[CSL]

really not sure where they're going with this. Punk has the kind of momentum that comes once in an era atm, he won't be off TV for long if at all. The timing is okay for Cena to take a well-earned break if they wanted him to but only because Punk is white hot and they have a ready built excuse for him to be off TV. Not a chance both of them are off for an extended amount of time however. A tournament to crown a new champion maybe climaxing with Punk interfering in the final whenever that may be? A battle royal/crowning of a champion tonight ft. a Punk run-in? Triple H? WWE playing kiss chase with Punk? Punk drops the belt tonight and actually leaves (don't see this happening, would be a monumental waste of momentum) Cena puts it "all on the line" for a rematch and they double turn him and Punk in one match? Corporate Punk? No idea, quite interesting.

[Rock Bottom]

Double post. Instead, I'll post this! Just cleaning up some grammar.

I have just been "future endeavored". Well, if that's how it is, I would like to take a moment to publicly apologize to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. In an effort to make WM28 as big as possible, I tried to expose Rock for his flaws. Very childish and immature on my behalf.

My comments about the Rock's absence were both unprofessional and childish. I am sorry. Rock, I truly wish and still hope in my heart of hearts that the crazy old man who is the boss reconsiders his totally rash decision. Because Chicago was insane last night... And it made me think of what Miami could have been. I guess sometimes you do not know what you have until it is lost.

CeNation. I very rarely ask you for anything, but I am down to my last chance. If you could tweet WWE to let them know not to fire me, I would be indebted to you all. I'm not saying it's gonna work, but sometimes they can not ignore the universe.

[Rock Bottom]

HAHA. I just got a tweet from The Rock.

What a fucking nerd I am to give a shit.

[parkmania]

Anyone know where Raw is at tonight?

If Punk didn't just do that "I'm at a Cubs game" and then hop a plane to be at Raw, what do you think the chances are that we'll get an "interruption via satellite" for him to gloat?

[CSL]

Green Baaaay, Wisconsinnnnnnn-ahhhh

[Droford]

Alberto Del Rio will come in and cash in on Punk, get McMahon to declare that if Punk is counted out he loses the belt, Punk obviously doesnt answer the 10 count and Alberto Del Rio is the new Champ and they make a new belt for him.

/obvious

Didn't bother hanging around last night. I knew damn well this was going to be a mad house.

Problem with this scenario is that board enrollment will probably go up and all these guests will sign up just to read the raw thread.

Let's hope that's not the case.

[DaVe]

oh btw

triple A for christs sake move to a new server. tpww has been a joke for the last 2 years, and im 100% activity has decreased a tonne, especially on RAW and PPV nights, since this server started having these 'load' issues.

Vince looks pretty in that jacket.

There are pics of Punk at the Cubs game at Wrigley Field, which is around 200 miles from Green Bay, where is tonight.

/not so obvious

That's John Lauranitis. Animal's Bro, and John's uncle.

I thought he'd be bigger.

Can't remember last time the WWE had a title tournament. Was it really all the way back at Survivor Series 1998?

Oh, about year and a half, two years ago. Had a temp site set up to keep things going.

Yesss. Tournament. New belt? Punk run in in the final?

Unless CM Punk got a really fast car and keeps the foot to the floor, not happening.

[Emperor Smeat]

The bottom half of the bracket is much more unpredictable than the top half only having Rey as the big name.

[Loose Cannon]

Hello friends. totally just marked for Vince announcing those matches. classic Royal Rumble_style announcements. "High Flying KOFI KIIIIINGSTON"

[Malfeitor]

Really kicking my ass for now ordering the PPV last night. Oh well. I got a torrent being downloaded as of now. This i one of the first times I actually rushed home from work to catch Raw, even though I have the timer on the DVR.

[LK]

That is an amazing suit tbf....

[Rock Bottom]

Man that match was completely awful.

[CSL]

Unless CM Punk got a really fast car and keeps the foot to the floor, not happening.

not far-fetched to have taken pics at the stadium earlier today before heading to the arena for tonight and keep track of the score/tweet like you're there (as he just has mentioning it's 3-1 Cubs)

[ClockShot]

I believe he's doing "Take me out to the ballgame" during the 7th inning stretch.

Could be wrong.

[Londoner]

Well that's just given away a Morrison run in.

[Fox]

Yeah, I can't really see anyone walking out tonight with as the "new" WWE Champion without Punk showing up and doing something about it.

[ClockShot]

THAT'S THE TRUTH TRUTH!

[CSL]

or Jyaaannnn Cenaaaaaa

[Fox]

No, Cena is "sorry" that he lost the WWE Title - he's too much of a pussy to show up and lay claim to the "new" WWE Title.

Read he was shown at the game during the broadcast, where the announcers went to prove their ignorance saying basically the only reason someone as small as Punk could be "heavyweight champion" is because wrestling is fake

[Loose Cannon]

what happened to Ricardo?

[Shisen Kopf]

Of the River--gnarly!

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I kinda hope Alberto is about to win at the end, only to be screwed somehow by Cena coming back or something.

Then he can claim that he should have the title through the tournament, as well as having the MitB and also that other number 1 contendership match he won a few weeks ago.

Missed Ricardo a lot especially not being able to celebrate and trash talk at MitB like he did at the Rumble when Del Rio won it. It didn't sound as great when Roberts said his name last night.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Poor Evan Bourne is the only guy who was in MitB last night who isn't in this tournament. Guess that shooting star press wasn't impressive enough.

[FearedSanctity]

lol at Ricardo and Swagger trending on Twitter and #savecena not. In the US, anyway

Edit: Nope, worldwide too

[ClockShot]

Kofi steals this.

Really can't draw conclusions until after the semis.

[CSL]

Rey's KISS mask is immense

[FearedSanctity]

Kind of get the feeling ADR will cash in on the winner and be the first to lose. Dunno why. But I feel it's a given he will at least cash in tonight. And if he succeeds the WWE title will have been held by 4 different people in a 24 hour span

[Shisen Kopf]

Reys tee shirt reminds me of strong bad

I'm taking a decent length Rey/Kofi final finishing with interference/no champion crowned

Also, I'd like Bryan/ADR to hold on to the cases for a while.

[Emperor Smeat]

I find it more of an issue that now without Cena, only Rey and Kofi are left as the big faces while even though Punk is gone, the heels are still padded in depth.

If the tournament is going to have a face vs heel final, there is only 2 quality face wrestlers possible as choices.

I'm not all that excited about ADR as champ tbh.

Agreed. ADR comes off as a poor-man's heel Eddie Guerrero to me. I'm just not buying his schtick.

Zelda Root sent word that during the commercial break for the Kofi Kingston vs. Alberto Del Rio match on tonight's RAW, Vince McMahon came out and yelled at the crowd for being so dead. Vince was in character but it was noted that he may have been legitimately upset at the subdued atmosphere in the building.

I will admit, not a great RAW if you're seeing the same guys over and over again in a 2 hour stretch.

They shoulda done a battle royale with everyone on the roster and have them be the champ.

[Fox]

Some really great wrestling on tonight's RAW. I've enjoyed it a lot.

[Shisen Kopf]

Yeah this is kinda boring. I wish nitro was still on so i could turn I over to see Raven vs DDP

[ClockShot]

Well, either Miz is going to run with the title for a little while, or Del Rio is going to cash in.

I hope for the first option. I'm with the few that want Del Rio and Bryan to hold on to their cases for a few months.

[Londoner]

I'm only still watching cause i'm expecting something big to happen at the end,since Vince said this would be an 'unforgettable raw' i assume something big is planned.

This RAW is fucking horrible. Now we don't even get a WWE title match? Nobody even gives a shit about this Cena fired storyline. Everyone is chanting for Punk.

[Londoner]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Savio]

interesting tidbit, CM Punk and Kane are the only superstars to hold the ECW, WHC, and WWE title and the both only held that title for one day.

[ClockShot]

Oh, we're going down this road.

[Londoner]

This RAW is fucking horrible. Now we don't even get a WWE title match? Nobody even gives a shit about this Cena fired storyline. Everyone is chanting for Punk.

OH NO! DON'T COMPLAIN!!:(

Who wanted a main event WWE Title Match when we could have a main event firing? #RAWTonight (https://twitter.com/#%21/search?q=%23RAWTonight)

[Londoner]

[ClockShot]

Heh. Nice shot, Cena.

[Juan]

OH SHIT SON. HHHHHHH

[Londoner]

:eek:

[GoneFishing]

Shit just got real.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

oh shit

[Fox]

Somewhere out there, James Steele just shot a load in his pants.

[XL]

Business just picked up, bro!

[glanville6]

woah

[ClockShot]

Triple H awoke from his slumber.

[Juan]

Man am I glad I didn't call this a horrible Raw before it was even over

[XL]

Kinda marked a little then.

[Juan]

I think Vince is about to get FIRED

[Londoner]

Man am I glad I didn't call this a horrible Raw before it was even over

Just cause the endings good doesn't mean the rest of the show wasn't horrible. Quit yer gloating. Vince even had to shout at the crowd!

[Fox]

Triple H is finally going to be play the WWE exec character

[XL]

Vince, you're FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRED!

[Juan]

Just cause the endings good doesn't mean the rest of the show wasn't horrible. Quit yer gloating.

I didn't see anything wrong with the actual wrestling matches. Just cause it was the same 8 guys doesn't mean the show was horrible. Quit yer bitching

[ClockShot]

The "You can't take away my company" storyline.

Sometimes it works.

[Fox]

Hunter still bores me on the mic.

[Skippord]

still a pretty horrible Raw

[Londoner]

I didn't see anything wrong with the actual wrestling matches. Just cause it was the same 8 guys doesn't mean the show was horrible. Quit yer bitching

It was my opnion and many others seem to feel the same way. That is all.

Anywya, on to the ending...

[Kami Raki]

Triple H is finally going to be play the WWE exec character
Can't see how things would be any different.

[Skippord]

although I would like to have Vince's sick suit

[Innovator]

doooooofus

doooooofus

[Savio]

Pedigree him or something

[Londoner]

We gonna see HHH on tv more often i wonder?

[Juan]

VINCE MCMAHON, YERRRRRRRRR FIRRRRRRED

[Skippord]

I do enjoy storylines about filing paperwork however

[Skippord]

are they going to kiss?

god I hope so

[Emperor Smeat]

I didn't think it was possible but Cena returned from a potential firing even quicker than with the Nexus.

All that is missing is Triple H firing Vince with a pedigree.

[Juan]

Wow, Vince crying on cue

[ClockShot]

Really?

The WWE Board of Directors replaced Vince McMahon with the doofus. #RAWTonight (https://twitter.com/#%21/search?q=%23RAWTonight)

[Londoner]

crowds alive now :D

[Savio]

this is kinda gay

[Shisen Kopf]

Gay!

[Innovator]

ahahahahahahaha I LOVE YOU PA

[Fox]

wtf is this emotional shit?

[Nark Order]

This RAW has been the biggest letdown in a long time.

[Savio]

I wanna hear austion come out and stunner him

[Juan]

"omg they're crying. GAY!"

[XL]

I'm convinced Punk is coming back to fued with HHH. He'll massacre that "I love you pop" line.

[Aaronp43]

Ok RAW tonight=EPIC

[Cool King]

"omg they're crying. GAY!"

Real men don't show emotions.

I don't see that happening.

[Aaronp43]

Raw tonight=epic

[XL]

I was exceptionally hyped for Raw this week and honeslty I feel a little let down...but that's probably because of how I hyped I was.

Furthermore, MitB was still awesome.

[Aaronp43]

Raw tonight=epic

[Battlekat]

I won't call it a horrible raw, but the ending really saved it for me. I think it would be awesome if the days of Mr. McMahon on screen are finally over. As much as I've enjoyed him, it's time for a different direction. I love the fact that we still don't know the fate of the title at the moment. I really can't wait to see how it all plays out. Overall it was a half-decent Raw.

[FearedSanctity]

I knew that after last night almost anything on Raw would be disappointing, but it felt like tonight may be the beginning of the ball being dropped. Sure it's only week one, but IMO it doesn't look like this is headed to anything we haven't seen before.

Still holding out hope since everything happened JUST last night, but my hopes aren't as high as they were just over 3 hours ago

[lemonsquares]

This was a pretty good RAW. I don't think the ball is being dropped at all. This angle is great and they haven't fucked it up yet, booked it near flawlessly actually. WWE at least deserves the benefit of the doubt after the brilliant last couple of weeks. RAW was solid, lots of wrestling but too much Rey Mysterio.

Has the anonymous RAW GM ever been involved in any of HHH's angles? At this point it's gotta be either him or Stephanie.

[BizarroKing]

Now that Triple H is in charge let's pray to Punk that this will mean the end of that blasted Anonymous Raw GM deal and no more laptop or that damn chime!

[CSL]

A bunch of solid matches, a title match set for next week that even without any "shenanigans" should be a great match, the chance of aforementioned shenanigans involving Punk and the belt (which could well be diminished now and Punk may in fact be taking a while off since his leaving with the belt was effectively all put on Vince tonight, only he's white hot and people want to pay to see him atm and the longer he leaves it, the less that is the case/"strike while the iron is hot") and the start of a new "era" in terms of the power structure/Triple H's character with what was heading in a hammy direction at one point but was quite possibly very real in terms of the outcome which is the end of Vince McMahon as an on-screen character. Wonder how many stockholders/financial press that don't follow the product are going to have a bit of a worry about that over the next 24 hours.

[Aguakate]

Real men don't show emotions.

...they don't get a push either.

[lemonsquares]

rey mysterio is really over in green bay, wisconsin.

also the crowd needs "na na na na hey hey hey goodbye" lessons from msg

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Have Todd Grisham shadow Punk wherever he goes like some paparazzi scum to keep him on TV for a couple of weeks, HHH can throw out the tournament and crown himself WWE championship and try to goad Punk into coming back for Summerslam. Have Punk see it and he does come back as the savior of wrestling.

A few tasty snippets like HHH was the anonymous GM and he was the one who set up the #1 contenders match to give Punk the chance to leave the company with the belt so he could get rid of Vince and give him the power, as well as a fantastic Summerslam match and I'll have full confidence in WWE again.

[St. Jimmy]

That crowd was cancerous.

That being said, REALLY GOOD RAW. Good matches, the way Vince did his announcement built for next week really well, Cena's promo ACTUALLY had an effect on me and is slowly endearing me to him. The Triple H promo was fantastic and I think Vince's curtain call could not have been done any other way. I'm excited for next week.

[Tom Guycott]

Late to the Party:

-Funny how "Future Endeavored" went from being a sarcastic comment about being fired to a now generic term for just that.

- I was going to comment about A-Ry's half crab, then post a picture of Lance Storm, but that joke has been used better elsewhere in this thread.

- RODRIGUEZ!

- Great, another 17 on 17 Divas match where Gail Kim doesn't get ring time. LOL'd at one of the Bellas almost tripping Melina (Perez) with her cape-thingy. Also LOL'd at Cole calling Melina (Rouka) by her real name in the match instead of Rosa... you know, because people having the same first name is "confusing".

- I don't see the reason for all the "disappointment". Solid RAW with ACTUAL MATCHES through the night and not an overabundance of skits. Great way to follow up a pretty awesome PPV. I will admit now that it didn't go down like I thought, (I took one look at the tourney brackets and thought "Kofi beats Alberto and will take it all, only to be taken down by a vengeful Alberto of the River who cashes in and beats a 3 match worn-down opponent") but that's a good thing. I get to go on a ride, and there's so much potential setup from top to bottom, such as potential "re-negotiations" with Punk, seeing where the "knee injury" thing goes with Miz, what's next for the US Champ, Hunter being the new on-screen Vince... and we haven't even touched Smackdown yet.

- If this is the way we retire Mr. McMahon the on-screen character, I'm all for it. He goes out not with a bang (exploding limo), but with a whimper (as in, crying... and a chant of "Thank you, Vince").
