9/26/11 Raw Thread: Stop the Awesome Truth Embargo and Beware the Woo Woo Wolverine!

[Ermaximus]

Let's do this ladies and gents. We've got some hot storylines brewing, but let's pray the WWE doesn't fuck them up.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

They haven't fucked anything on Raw up for a good 3 months now, kinda shocked.

Shame about Smackdown and that oaf of a WHC though. He's champ and poor Tyson Kidd is not on TV every week. I could almost beer to watch it if he was.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Two jokes in the same thread title. That's as bold as it is risky.

I like it.

[parkmania]

So, I can see the following playing out over the next 1-2 months:

Dolph and Swagger have an uneasy truce while Dolph feuds with Ryder over the US belt. Finally the truce is broken when Swagger costs Ziggs the belt and they feud over Vickie's services.

[parkmania]

Also, apparently we are going to be treated to Punk vs Of the River one on one tonight.

[Xero]

Wooooo.

[MoFo]

So, I can see the following playing out over the next 1-2 months:

Dolph and Swagger have an uneasy truce while Dolph feuds with Ryder over the US belt. Finally the truce is broken when Swagger costs Ziggs the belt and they feud over Vickie's services.


HHH v Awesome Truth @ HIAC for their WWE contracts back

[Impeccable]

Think this is my first ever foray into a live raw thread!

So...yeah...hey y'all

[Impeccable]

well, while raw has been airing, that is

[ClockShot]

Wanna see Triple H and CM Punk do their spat in the ring to start the show. Then Johnny Ace comes out followed by Miz and Truth behind him in some nice suits, all cleaned up and shaved, and given bodyguard roles for the remainder of the story line.

[loopydate]

The Cell is hanging above the ring.

[Jari]

Never thought I'd be waiting for Raw hoping for a Kevin Nash appearance a few years ago.

[Corndad]

The Truth Shall Set You Free... of a job.

[ClockShot]

Stupid question because I wasn't around due to the hurricane. How long is this Supershow stuff going to last? It is like a experimental thing or permenant?

[Innovator]

Hey, HHH is in the opening segment!

[Jari]

Am I the only one that thinks Booker T is wasted on commentary? He's good but you get the impression that he could still be of value in the ring.

[Innovator]

Stupid question because I wasn't around due to the hurricane. How long is this Supershow stuff going to last? It is like a experimental thing or permenant?
Until the Smackdown house shows pick up.

[Corndad]

TRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIPLE HAICH

[Impeccable]

oh fuck...booker on commentary

[Corndad]

Stupid question because I wasn't around due to the hurricane. How long is this Supershow stuff going to last? It is like a experimental thing or permenant?

HHH made it seem like a permanent move a few weeks ago.

[Jari]

They do seem to be moving in the direction of ending the brand split. A good thing in my humble opinion.

[el bobbo]

I love this music they're playing for the apology.

[blak23]

harsh bro

[Rollermacka]

"Hold on Mike, I'll handle this one" I was watching old AWA Destruction Crew and WCW 2001 matches on youtube and didnt realize RAW started (kinda a wierd combination of wrestling matches)

[ClockShot]

Vicki to interupt. Call me surprised.

[Corndad]

Wow wasn't expecting them to come out now

[Jari]

HHH fining and firing people for putting their hands on officials and commentators - I think some black pots want to meet some black kettles here.

[Juan]

HHH made it seem like a permanent move a few weeks ago.

He said the Supershows were in effect for the foreseeable future, not permanent.

[Innovator]

Lawler isn't here, at least we don't hear fat chick jokes that don't have meaning anymore.

[Jari]

Huh I thought Cody would be taken off TV for a couple of weeks.

[ClockShot]

IT'S A REBELLION!

[Blakeamus]

Nice

[Corndad]

I smell a Tag Team Main Event coming on...

[Innovator]

Whiny heel appreciation day.

[Londoner]

Sensing a 6 man tag match here.

[Blakeamus]

So we are going with a different approach on the opening segment of RAW? No Punk?

[Juan]

Christian :D

[Jari]

Zack Ryder to be in the main event?

[Jari]

1 MORE MATCH!!!

[Londoner]

Randy/Christian on Smackdown, nice.

[Innovator]

The wizard of ozzzzzzzuhhhhh

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Christian

Ziggler might miss another Z! show if he looses again.

[Blakeamus]

Awesome!

[Londoner]

Ryder!!!!!!!!!!

[Corndad]

Ryder with a US Title Shot!

[ClockShot]

NICE!

[Juan]

lol "Doesn't even count!"

[Blakeamus]

Battle royal for the IC title...sweet!

[Corndad]

HHH powertrippin hahaha

[Londoner]

Interesting matches. :)

[Jari]

The way Christian just left reminds me of the time my friend threw up outside of a 24 hour Subway in Glasgow at 3:30am after a night of heavy drinking. Pure Meatball Sub, projectile vomited on the pavement before running off, shouting about how unacceptable his behaviour was.

[RKO'em]

Business has just picked up

[Innovator]

Cody and 9 other guys. I thought this was punishment for Cody?

[Impeccable]

great opening segment.

[Impeccable]

Cody and 9 other guys. I thought this was punishment for Cody?

:rofl:

[Jari]

Tonight is going to be the night of the Broskis! I have a feeling in my bones! Come on Ryder!!!

[Innovator]

Teddy or Sin Cara is winning.

[blak23]

cara wins in a swerve

[ClockShot]

But which one is it?????!!?!

[Jari]

I was about to ask if that's Mistico but the entrance gives it away.

[Innovator]

It's Mistico, he's actually a cruiser.

[Blakeamus]

This will be good! New champion?

[Innovator]

Ahahaha, Drew.

[loopydate]

If it was me, after Triple H made that "next nine guys I see" comment, I would have cut backstage to the roster pouring out of their locker rooms and sprinting toward the entrance so that Trips would see them first.

[Londoner]

lol

[Blakeamus]

Haha the other Sin Cara!

[Jari]

When did Drew McIntyre become such a jobber?

[ClockShot]

Well, they're both gone now.

[Jari]

Teddy or Sin Cara is winning.
Good prediction.

[Impeccable]

oh come on...please make one of the sin caras wear a different colour

[Rollermacka]

Wait, which Sin Cara was that the original or Skip Cara?

[Blakeamus]

Good, not too impressed with Alex Riley

[Innovator]

Darn.

[Jari]

oh come on...please make one of the sin caras wear a different colour
Was thinking that when I saw them both for the first time. You could surely have put the original in white or something.

[ClockShot]

CAWdy gonna win this. Against all odds.

[Blakeamus]

haha YES!

[Londoner]

Good match, couldn't see anyone winning that other than Cody atm.

[OldSchoolFan]

Not watching yet... start it on the DVR about half way through... but noticed last week the Sin Caras had different logos on back of mask. is that still the case? One had a cross the other was weird looking.

[Blakeamus]

Sheamus kicks looked awkward tonight...a few of them didn't really connect.

[Impeccable]

Was thinking that when I saw them both for the first time. You could surely have put the original in white or something.

Even something subtle...like the fake undertaker wore different colour gloves/trim

[Jari]

I have never seen someone fail so spectacularly in going over the top rope.

[Rollermacka]

WTF? What was with that Sheamus ending. He no sold Cody when Christian first came out, then kinda got caught up in the ropes, then gets hit with the mask after all?

[Innovator]

[Immortal Moose]

lmfao

[Rollermacka]

Just because they showed a commerical for it, I dont really care for The Big Bang Theory. I saw an episode and it was "meh funny" but it seems really repeatitive

[Londoner]

lolllllllll@cole

[Juan]

Anal bleeding?? WTF?

[Innovator]

Hahahaha, cue was late.

[Jari]

The bow tie?!

[Juan]

Looks like they're finally gonna give Otunga a character

[el bobbo]

hahaha.

and the fuckin' bowtie.

[Corndad]

The Resistance continues

[Graveler]

:lol: anal bleeding

[Blakeamus]

WTF...

[ClockShot]

ACE IS TEXTING!

[Innovator]

The Road Warriorettes.

[Innovator]

SHOW HER RUNNING THE ROPES

[Blakeamus]

oh and now we got a video package for Kelly Kelly

[Blakeamus]

She's a screamer...

[Corndad]

Debuting as a Stripper on ECW to Divas Championship. Dreams can come true gentleman.

[blak23]

the chase beth is doing is epic

[Innovator]

God damn Eve.

[Rollermacka]

Ah, divas match comming (and it's Kelly Kelly). Time to watch more 3 Count and FCW "satanic" Kevin Sullivan matches

[Innovator]

Debuting as a Stripper on ECW to Divas Championship. Dreams can come true gentleman.
She had a heart of gold!

[Blakeamus]

I was hoping the cage would start lowering...

[Jari]

I was hoping the cage would start lowering...
Give it time.

[Immortal Moose]

I was hoping the cage would start lowering...

First divas HIAC for the title? I like your thinking.

[Xero]

"Anal Bleeding" is trending worldwide on Twitter. lol

[rob11]

"Anal Bleeding" is trending worldwide on Twitter. lol

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Blakeamus]

Awesome

[ClockShot]

About time.

[Blakeamus]

So Beth can beat her in a tag team match, but somehow chokes when it comes to a one on one title match?

[Juan]

Beth Phoenix has got to have one of the best themes in WWE. Very underrated

[Jari]

"Anal Bleeding" is trending worldwide on Twitter. lol
Sweet Jesus, so it is.

[Jari]

There's just something that doesn't look right about Henry with a title belt.

[Blakeamus]

I always liked her theme

[Jari]

Henry vs Khali - yay!!!

[blak23]

zuckerberg joke

[Rollermacka]

You know, Kevin Sullivan was a "proportionally" big dude in the early 80s (he was 5 ft 10 and a solid 230) He could cut a good "insane" promo, I wonder if he was bigger (even if he was just 6 ft 3 250lbs) could he have been "bigger"?

[Innovator]

Here comes <s>@</s>TheMarkHenry (https://twitter.com/#%21/TheMarkHenry)! It may be time for more anal bleeding. Only <s>@</s>MichaelCole (https://twitter.com/#%21/MichaelCole) could make that trend. LOL!

CHOCOLATE DROOOOOOOPPPP!

[Londoner]

God now everyone's gonna think they're funny just by saying 'anal bleeding'.

[ClockShot]

.............wow.

[Londoner]

what happened? wasn't watching

[Blakeamus]

You know I could of sworn I heard him say anal bleeding, but I thought I was just hearing things....

[Rollermacka]

Damm it, I went to the bathroom and missed the Henry/ Khali match. Was it a 5 star Match of the Year contender?

[Blakeamus]

Bathroom break of the year contender...

[Blakeamus]

The purpose was to make Henry an unstoppable beast who can take out anyone, even someone like Khali, by man handling and take the win without breaking out with musky armpits...

[Rollermacka]

The purpose was to make Henry an unstoppable beast who can take out anyone, even someone like Khali, by man handling and take the win without breaking out with musky armpits...

Let me guess, the match ended when Khali went for a 450 splash and Henry caught him in mid air with a vertabreaker?

[ClockShot]

Turn that camera the other way, it's all empty. :lol:

[Corndad]

Hell in A Cell is like Church HAHAHAHAHA The hell JR

[Immortal Moose]

Let me guess, the match ended when Khali went for a 450 splash and Henry caught him in mid air with a vertabreaker?

Yep right off the bat, it was fucking incredible, shame you missed it.

[Blakeamus]

Let me guess, the match ended when Khali went for a 450 splash and Henry caught him in mid air with a vertabreaker?

Nah he jumped up on the top, catching Khali while he attempt to catch his balance, and connected with a reverse Canadian Destroyer.

No, we did not tint the crowd red in honor of anal bleeding becoming a trending topic <s class="hash">#</s>RAWTonight (https://twitter.com/#%21/search?q=%23RAWTonight)

[ClockShot]

The controversy is over. So it's going back to either Del Rio or Punk?

[Blakeamus]

Please don't Cena

[Corndad]

I already miss Cena promos when they happen in the same ring with Punk. Cena just hasn't had the same steam the last few weeks not playing off of Punk.

[ClockShot]

Thank god.

[Blakeamus]

I thought when someone would enter into their FIRST Hell in a Cell, they are usually the one with the disadvantage?

[Blakeamus]

haha what? CM Punk at commentary for this match? AWESOME!

[blak23]

he called him half naked

[Innovator]

5 man booth, this is madness

[Immortal Moose]

This could be funny with CM Punk, but right now I'm a bit indifferent about their match Sunday.

[Blakeamus]

yeah

[el bobbo]

Nothin' wrong with CM Punk on commentary.

[Blakeamus]

haha Booker

[Innovator]

HE SPILLED HIS DIET SODA AGAIN

[Blakeamus]

haha the diet soda is victimized yet again!

[Juan]

Damn whose wired headsets

[ClockShot]

Be a hero, Punk.

[blak23]

OOOOOOhhhhhhhhh Radiooooo

[ClockShot]

Here we go.

[Immortal Moose]

ooo Swagger too

[blak23]

teo of the best songs in the E

[el bobbo]

@dumbkellykelly

He's Just Not That Into You, that's usually what I say when I don't feel anything yet ...

[loopydate]

I'm really enjoying these video packages. They're a great way to catch people up on what's happened in case they haven't been watching. It's a very simple way to make the storylines look more important.

[Corndad]

Swagger will cost Dolph this match.

[ClockShot]

Bummer.

[Corndad]

I meant will cause him to win lol typo and all right?

[blak23]

Swagger will cost Dolph this match.

or not

[Blakeamus]

You sure Corn?

[ClockShot]

SHOTS FIRED!

[Blakeamus]

Playa!

[loopydate]

Did he just say "Three minutes?"

[blak23]

this would be great for drew mac

[ClockShot]

She got..............3 minutes...........

[Blakeamus]

premature pyro apparently

[Corndad]

Well, I guess they hold off on the Swagger/Ziggler turning on each other till after they get Tag Title shots at Cell? Oh well. Egg on my face.

[ClockShot]

Did he just say "Three minutes?"

I got ya covered.

i think that will be a bad one to bro

[Immortal Moose]

Honestly I'd rather the have Vicki continue to build her stable for a bit until they start falling apart.

[Blakeamus]

No third partner?

[ClockShot]

Late arrival me thinks.

[loopydate]

I don't know why, but this Evan "oldest man in the world" Bourne thing strikes me as really funny.

[ClockShot]

Rays win, Red Sox lose.

[MoFo]

Thank god the Robbie E ripoff lost

[Immortal Moose]

Late arrival me thinks.

Me too

[blak23]

good one cole

[Blakeamus]

You are joking, right Flex?

[blak23]

mason ryan nice

[Blakeamus]

damnit don't pin Evan Bourne!

[Juan]

Business just picked up

[Supreme Olajuwon]

OH SHIT

[ClockShot]

Look who's back.

[Immortal Moose]

A curveball, interesting...maybe...

[blak23]

greatest body guard candidate

[Juan]

Thank god the Robbie E ripoff lost

You do know Ryder had the gimmick first, yes?

[blak23]

Ryder is about to get squashed

[Blakeamus]

Beautiful line!

[loopydate]

Face turn!

[Corndad]

Just realized Ryder gets 2 matches on Raw in one week.

[blak23]

swerve

[loopydate]

(posted 30 seconds before he actually did it)

[Blakeamus]

SWERVE

[Immortal Moose]

And another swerve

[Supreme Olajuwon]

NEVER TRUST A WELSHMAN

[Blakeamus]

Mason Ryan is a BROSKI!

[Juan]

lol nice swerve

[ClockShot]

Dave Batista Jr. returns with a bang.

[loopydate]

Of course, Vickie would have known that if she'd been watching Ryan work as a face on Superstars for the last few weeks...

[Corndad]

Give that man a personality and we may have something here.

[Blakeamus]

This is the first time I've seen Mason since his injury. He looks more massive than before...Wellness violation in the next week or so.

[RKO'em]

Of course, Vickie would have known that if she'd been watching Ryan work as a face on Superstars for the last few weeks...

No one watches Superstars

[RKO'em]

By the way, did Mason Ryan ever turn on Punk at the end of the new Nexus?

[Immortal Moose]

By the way, did Mason Ryan ever turn on Punk at the end of the new Nexus?

I don't believe so

[blak23]

Punk was like fuck nexus

[Immortal Moose]

the bow tie's back

[Blakeamus]

wtf is this shit?

[el bobbo]

A character for Otunga. Finally.

[RKO'em]

They gave him a gimmick!

[loopydate]

Loving this new direction for Otunga, btw. Best possible use of this character right now, and a perfect tie-in to this whole story. Great booking.

[el bobbo]

Just don't have him wrestle.

[blak23]

David Otunga getting a high end storyline

[Graveler]

Looking like David Otunga will be the next member of the Future Endeavored team at Survivor Series

[Immortal Moose]

I have to agree this could be very interesting

[el bobbo]

Does anyone else think this has been a good Raw?

[Blakeamus]

It does look interesting

[ClockShot]

The lawsuit angle isn't a bad idea. But I can't picture Otunga being the head guy for this. Come on, who's had some sort of Lawyer gimmick when they were in the company?

[Blakeamus]

They are doing a good job being the last RAW before another PPV that was only two weeks to build....

[loopydate]

Does anyone else think this has been a good Raw?

Yeah. Everything that's happened tonight has had a logical (for pro wrestling, anyway) reason for happening and has furthered a storyline heading into the PPV. Definitely one of the better RAWs of the last two months. It feels more like one the shows leading into MitB than one of the post-Summerslam shows.

[Blakeamus]

The lawsuit angle isn't a bad idea. But I can't picture Otunga being the head guy for this. Come on, who's had some sort of Lawyer gimmick when they were in the company?

I do see Otunga perfect in this because if their attempt falls flats, he fits the scapegoat character.

[Immortal Moose]

The lawsuit angle isn't a bad idea. But I can't picture Otunga being the head guy for this. Come on, who's had some sort of Lawyer gimmick when they were in the company?

Not sure if I should be remembering someone, a bit intoxicated, but he really is a lawyer and this could be a good integration of a lawyer character.

[Blakeamus]

by that I mean that it doesn't mean he would be the head guy for this

[blak23]

where brohat McG

[Blakeamus]

they decided to use bow tie otunga because that attire had more personality than the bro hat...

[Corndad]

Anything that keeps Otunga from wrestling can't be a bad thing.

[Blakeamus]

I want RAW to end with CM Punk giving Cena the GTS...because you know Cena will get involved during the Main Event to get revenge on Del Rio.

[Blakeamus]

I'm glad Cena doesn't talk on commentary like he does in the ring...

[Corndad]

love the Punk Salute.

[blak23]

Booker t: Whoa!

[Blakeamus]

Good wrestling match!

[loopydate]

Good wrestling match!

Yeah! Too bad they're gonna spoil it with Cena!

DOHHH HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO!

[Blakeamus]

Wow!

[ClockShot]

A kick to the head to end it. Unexpected.

Oh, and of course the cage comes down.

[Blakeamus]

Yeah good shit

[Blakeamus]

Damn what a lick!

[ClockShot]

Nice to see the steel chair again.

[Blakeamus]

Now another question will be who lowered the cage?

[blak23]

Punk is milking it a bit much

[Blakeamus]

Another well done RAW in my opinion.

[blak23]

so how will they get out

[loopydate]

Very good show. Definitely satisfied with just about everything tonight.

:y: WWE

[Immortal Moose]

Pretty good Raw

[Juan]

Alberto Del Rio is the man

[Juan]

so how will they get out

lol

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Punk is milking it a bit much

No kidding. Who gets hit in the spine and then acts like it hurts? Ridiculous.

[Aguakate]

Alberto Del Rio is the man

Yes. He is.

I don't get all this talk of his promos sucking and all that, like Austin said.

[BigCrippyZ]

Really solid RAW leading into the HIAC PPV. Actually makes me want to order one of the non-big PPV's which hasn't happened for me in years.

Everything made sense for a wrestling show and actually built on and furthered storylines, etc.

[Blakeamus]

Sadly I won't be getting this...tight budget and can't see getting two ppv's back to back in a 2 week span. If I can get into a stream though, I would definately like to see it.

[Aguakate]

Save up for Survivor Series, dude...Rock's gonna be there!
