Official Raw Thread For 10/3/11 - NOW WITH 100% MORE ANAL BLEEDING!

[Skippord]

The Bellas want to be Catwoman evidently

[ClockShot]

That's a tiny smackdown roster.

Nevermind.

[Jari]

Heel Sin Cara is still around?!

[Corndad]

Always a good day when Kaitlyn makes a Raw Appearance.

[ClockShot]

To quote Rafiki, "The King.......has returned."

[Skippord]

tune in next week to see if Triple H filed the correct paperwork to fire the Miz and R-Truth

[Cool King]

Lawler?

Is he wearing a nappy?

[Corndad]

A Primo Sighting.

[Jari]

So they would hold this kind of thing without Cena, Orton or Punk, huh?

[Skippord]

do they do this via show of hands or what?

[Corndad]

Don't see Punk or Cena out there

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I like how this season of NXT has been going on for so long that everybody who is a part of it just kinda got absorbed into the main roster.</font>

[Skippord]

Cena, Punk and Orton are in the back playing Mario Cart

[Theo Dious]

I smell a heel turn somehow.

[Innovator]

*GONG*

[ClockShot]

Wade's the volunteer mouthpiece. Interesting.

[Skippord]

lol The Black Sin Cara makes this a little funny

[Corndad]

Is Barrett really talking about this. Of all the people the old Leader of Nexus is talking about Safe Work Environment.

[Theo Dious]

LOL Nice of HHH to remember that.

[Skippord]

Triple H doing a good job of listening to their concerns

[ClockShot]

Chad Patton has a mic.

[jkman61494]

THANK GOD they actually talked about Nexus. I was about to flip my lid that they were having Barrett go off on HHH and pretend Nexus never happened.

[Skippord]

JTG is a referee now

[Cool King]

Chioda has a mic!

[ClockShot]

Watch Raven come in and push for a union.

[Skippord]

can see why the ref's don't talk very often

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: crowd booing the refs

[Theo Dious]

Is Barrett really talking about this. Of all the people the old Leader of Nexus is talking about Safe Work Environment.

:y::y:

[Skippord]

Trips looking like a huge asshole here

[Innovator]

I'm pretty sure this is how Vince runs his board meetings

[Skippord]

the crown makes him look silly

[Skippord]

why doesn't he wear it ever GOD DAMMIT

[ClockShot]

Come on, Vince. Get out here.

[jkman61494]

I'm sorry. Am I the only one that's finding this utterly lame? This is the kind of stuff that's gone on Raw every week for oh, 15 years? Just sometimes PG-13, at times PG, and now the blurry line in between we've had since MITB. But now it's unsafe working habits?

And King? Who volunteered himself to get his ass kicked by Henry is walking out?

This story line is just getting dumber and dumber.

Even better, now the faces are walking out? Really? Thumbs down

[Corndad]

This where Cena comes out to save the day?

[el bobbo]

Law and Order meets Raw.

[Skippord]

great now WWE is in a lockout too

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

This is great.

[Corndad]

lol at the Camera guys leavin

[blak23]

JR is still here

[Londoner]

wtf

[Aguakate]

DON'T DO IT JR!

[blak23]

or not

[Skippord]

this will make Smackdown kind of awkward

[ClockShot]

Well boys. Looks like there's no show next week.

[Blakeamus]

WWE Lockout would be funny as shit!

[Corndad]

Wow even JR.

[Londoner]

this is lame.

[blak23]

this has me very interested

[jkman61494]

If the WWE were smart, they'd have Punk come out to end this segment. I'm sorry. They now have 1 week to promote a pay per view with zero feuds and this storyline going on? Ok?

[Skippord]

this fucking guy

[Skippord]

Miz and Truth should come annihilate him right here

[Aguakate]

I'd LOL if the fans walked out.

[ClockShot]

I was waiting for the lights to just shut off.

[Corndad]

So where do we go for Raw storylines heading into a PPV in 2 weeks. Crazy.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Gotta figure there was a reason why Cena, Punk, Sheamus, and Orton weren't out there. The only pro-Triple H people on the roster.</font>

[Theo Dious]

That was kind of a lame ending.

[blak23]

feel like cena and punk are gonna do a get to the bottom of this angle

[Skippord]

feel like cena and punk are gonna do a get to the bottom of this angle
New Age Sherlock And Holmes

[St. Jimmy]

now that was a fucking RAW. Epic. Loved that last segment so much.

[Xero]

I'll say, I liked the ending and I can't wait for next week.

[VSG]

The next PPV is on Oct 23, you numbskulls.

[VSG]

Also, I loved the ending so fuck you all :foc:

[Cool King]

I too, liked the ending.

It would have been much better if my stream didn't keep freezing literally every five seconds though.

But I think Raw was not bad this week.

[VSG]

Nah, jk I love everyone.

The ending still was pretty great though.

[VSG]

Edit: I love everyone except Cool King for ruining my serial posting :'(

[GD]

I absolutely loved the ending. Fuck you Triple-H!

[OldSchoolFan]

Shameus, Punk, Cena, Orton, Rock vs, Miz, Truth, 3 random heels that are sucking Lariniutus cock at SS for HHH job

[GD]

The Fab Four: John Cena, Randy Orton, CM Punk and Teddy Long were way too important to come out for the last segment.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I thought the first part of the segment was kinda awkward with people missing their cues or Triple H not hearing them or something, but I really liked the ending. Especially the way it ended with JR walking out.

[GD]

I was typing on twitter about how the camera men should leave and OH MY FUCKING LORD! They FUCKING left too! I had so many multiple orgasms. My floor is now a sea of semen.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Props to the guy controlling the hard camera for not walking out. Woulda been mad awkward since all the other cameramen left.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Why do I have a feeling this is ultimately going to end with a CM Punk "frozen snake" promo. AKA, this is all a plan to get rid of the entire McMahon family, and all their cronies, and in the end he's going to do a 180 and insult the fans for getting behind him and believing in him.

Drew McIntyre made 2 appearances on RAW. No wonder he was grinning in the background.

[VSG]

lol :'(

[Juan]

Poor form, OldSchoolFan

[GD]

Triple-H didn't even sell the whole "no confidence" drama properly. He is horrible.

[weather vane]

sea of sea

[GD]

Semen.

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty "meh" RAW tonight, on account of most everyone I really care about was used in one match.

The ending, while I liked it, took entirely too long.

Though, Triple H was probably thinking.... "So, I get RAW to myself now? SWEET! It's like 2003 all over again!"

[GD]

You gotta love them jobber WWE Champion entrances.

[GD]

John Cena totally "no selling" HIAC injuries and WWE title loss.

[Juan]

Would you like some cheese with your whine, Dave?

[GD]

The employees at WWE.com should walk out too.

[GD]

Which will bring Sheamus in to the picture, who will run the entire website single handed (with respect to his computer background).

[GD]

The frustration will eventually build up.

[GD]

He will brogue kick every computer equipment in the building and hit Joey Styles with the Celtic Cross.

[GD]

And eventually walk out.

[GD]

[Blakeamus]

Interesting story. I just got a call from a buddy of mine that went to RAW tonight. They were at Mel's Diner when The Bellas, Kelly Kelly, and JOMO walked in to get a table. When one of his friends noticed Kelly, he shouted her name across the diner which resulted in them leaving just when they got to their seats...:roll:

[GD]

lol

[Blakeamus]

Oh lord now he said John Cena just walked in...

[Blakeamus]

"Let's go Cena, Cena sucks" chants have commence...drunk bastards! I told him to record it on his phone, hopefully he does because by the sound I'm getting over the phone, it's hilarious!

[Blakeamus]

One of the "boys" in our local indy fed was working security for the Henry/Orton brawl...not sure if he got a tryout this time, but he is currently going to a private party with the boys and doing a beer run.

[OldSchoolFan]

Poor form, OldSchoolFan

Should I have used a different theme of his?

[Emperor Smeat]

Looks like Triple H relieved some stress during the post-Raw segment with another pedigree to Zack Ryder

scene 1 : Raw

HHH is in the ring with he explains what happened at raw was his fault and he will fix it.

-------------NO CHANCE...THAT WHAT YA GOT!---------------------

The genetic Jackhammer is on the ramp. He walks down to the ring...looks HHH in the eyes, then says "You're fired". He explains he has been re-instated by the board etc.

HHH leaves crying, we follow him backstage where stephanie tries to comfort him but he says he is going to ...T...N...A (lols)

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Maybe I'm hopped up on flu medication, but I was laughing pretty solidly at the Johnny Ace disappointed head shake.

[Aguakate]

So, after weeks of some "show and tell", have you people seen what I have been saying for some time now, that WWE is not letting CM Punk reach his potential, and now that he re-signed, they are not going to let him do what he was doing over the summer? You know, that they're holding him back.

[Blakeamus]

"Blahbity bloo blah blah blah blahbity bloo blah!"
I didn't hear a word you said, "hipidy hoo blah!"

lol if you read this after you look at your sig of orton, it totally seems like he is saying it, lol

[Mr. Pierre]

I have a feeling they are doing Punk a favor by not having him get lost in this Triple H storyline any longer. I think he'll end up getting the title match at Survivor Series.

Punk in a one-on-one title match at the Garden :y:

I thought Punk would come out and take a seat, but interesting finish.

Gotta love HHH cutting down people while trying to get their confidence.

[Innovator]

I loved Henry destroying Johnny Boy.

[Mr. Nerfect]

"Yes! I have someone on my side, who doesn't believe that under my control things are turning into an unsafe work environment! ............... *PEDIGREE*"

My thoughts exactly. Triple H should be grateful someone stood behind him. What an absolute dick.

[DaVe]

Damn good ending.

Only thing I wonder is why Henry was out there? He doesn't fear anything.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I didn't like that segment that closed RAW. They made JR look like the biggest babyface in the company not named Triple H. They aren't the two guys you should be promoting to have the most character. I think it would have been more effective for some to support Triple H, and some to head to the back. Give RAW a scrambled feeling. It's Triple H against the world right now, and I don't think that's the direction this thing should be going in.

Only thing I wonder is why Henry was out there? He doesn't fear anything.

And this is exactly why. Beth Phoenix talking on behalf of the Divas also completely ruined any credibility her and Natalya's "revolution" of the division had. Also, why was Jerry Lawler there? If he was there, shouldn't he have been commentating? Wade Barrett also sounded like a complete moron talking about work environments when his claim to fame is still leading Nexus against the WWE. It kind of took a shit on the gimmicks of some of the guys involved there.

One thing I did like was Mike Chiota speaking up on behalf of the officials. The WWE has done a referee strike before, but I like that they are pissed off. Also, is everyone on the WWE really that afraid of The Miz & R-Truth?

Maybe I'm expecting too much out of the WWE; but I'm just finding it really hard to bite into this storyline like they want me to. It's far from the worse thing in the history of the company, and there are interesting ideas driving the storyline forward -- but I just think it's too...dumb right now. We just saw Stephanie McMahon on WWE TV recently. Why is she not there backing her husband? Why are rookies like Darren Young, Derrick Bateman, Percy Watson & Titus O'Neil willing to throw away huge opportunities with the WWE?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I didn't think it made JR look like the biggest babyface ever. He was torn between showing loyality to the man who got him his job back and doing what he felt was right. Just a person, not a character that swings in either direction.

[jkman61494]

I also think it was completely moronic to have Wade Barrett be a talking piece for "workroom safety" and how wrestlers are afraid to go in a parking lot and how he's in the WWE to compete in a safe area etc etc etc.

Now I'm glad they at least had HHH point out the hypocrisy, but it doesn't remove the fact that it just was another example of making Barrett look stupid. THe last time he really was on Raw in a speaking role he was this cocky a-hole leading the Nexus, a group who mugged Bret Hart in a parking lot, and tried to have a hostile take over of Raw. Now he's afraid of workplace safety.

I don't know if Barrett ticked someone off in the back but they've seemingly gone out of their way to destroy the credibility and awesomeness his character once had.

Do you know what would have been cool? Him taking the mic, and spouting off about taking credit for this anarachy. That he was the first person to lead this charge and thanks to him and his group, the WWE has never been the same. He could have taken credit for it, but voted against HHH purely out of spite for the position he holds. He should vote no confidence because the WWE is finally in a place that he envisioned when he led Nexus.

[Blakeamus]

If two guys were fired from a workplace that you are currently employed, and would go on an attack spree towards their fellow former employees...wouldn't you feel like something needs to be done before something happens to you? If your boss lost control of the situation, wouldn't you feel that it isn't a safe environment and would just consider leaving for the benefit of your health and safety?

I think this was a brilliant segment. And I find having JR as the last one was fitting and made the point across. Didn't see Barrett was made to look stupid. Triple H just called him out on facts. You should be happy it was mentioned...to me that doesn't destroy credibility, that revives it.

[Droford]

I have a feeling they are doing Punk a favor by not having him get lost in this Triple H storyline any longer. I think he'll end up getting the title match at Survivor Series.

Punk in a one-on-one title match at the Garden :y:

Which will be overshadowed by the Rock and Cena.

[Blakeamus]

And if you want to complain about someone losing credibility? Look at Drew McIntyre. From being Vince's "chosen one" to getting the jobber entrance for the opening of RAW?

[Innovator]

Parkour spot to get away from Henry, BAM clothesline.

[Innovator]

OMG WHY ISN'T HHH FIRED FOR GRABBING JOHN LAURINITIS BY THE TIE?!?! BEST IN THE WORLD!

[Hanso Amore]

Wow, Smarks really over think this shit.

[Hanso Amore]

I thought the Camera Guys setting the cameras down in the ring was brilliant. No commentary. All good shit.

[Innovator]

[Nark Order]

I liked how Evil Sin Cara got a vote.

[Jura]

Was that brown haired diva Maxine? Isn't she only in FCW? So why was she there? There's no picture of her on the roster.

[Jura]

I thought it was funny that at the end, Laurinitis comes out just to shake his head and then leave like some disappointed parent.

[Rammsteinmad]

I didn't have a problem with Barrett's comments, since he's a heel and it kinda worked. Yes, he did lead Nexus as they destroyed anything that crossed their path last year, but of course, now he feels at risk, he doesn't think it's fair. That's classic heel characteristics right there.

However... if I recall Barrett hasn't been on Smackdown for two weeks now, and screw theories of 'testing to see if he's a company guy', I feel WWE have really dropped the ball here.

[CSL]

yah, quite a staggering misunderstanding of the basic concept of a heel in this thread. The Barrett thing is as simple as:

1. He's competent and articulate with a microphone, which helped sell the angle and get the main points against Triple H across
2. He's a heel, he's supposed to be contradictory and hypocritical, it's why he's a "bad guy"

I think it might have been Rosa, but Maxine has been on NXT lately.

I did however notice that, Orton, Cena, Punk, Sheamus, Kelly Kelly, Brodus Clay, Dibiase, Gabriel, Yoshi, Kidd, and Teddy Long were not present during the ending.

Don't know if that will matter or anything, but I guess we will see.

BUT HE DIDNT STAND UP TO HHH AND UNIFY THE TITLES CSL!

[Hanso Amore]

I think it played out as planned. HHH was trying to defend himself and shoot down the complaints.

Barrett talks and HHH shoots it down.

Chioda talks and he starts to see hes at fault and tries to shoot it down but leaves a ding in his armor.

DIvas talk and he shoots it down but leaves the "What if" door opene for doubt. Hard to shoot that down.

Then King Drives it home. King is a legend. A respected man. A Face. Driving the nail in the coffin and leading everyone out. No way to defend himself there.

It was a brilliant way build it up and go both ways.

Also, anyone else realize there is no Single title held by a face?

Unless you count Ryder

[VSG]

Ya noticed that when the "lawsuit' union was in the ring. The tag champs are the only faces.

[Hanso Amore]

I cant remember a time when all 4 major mens titles AND the divas title was held by Heels.

[OldSchoolFan]

I cant remember a time when all 4 major mens titles AND the divas title was held by Heels.

No, I saw Rosa and she has black hair, not brown. I will take a screenshot.

http://i51.tinypic.com/o05quw.jpg

[loopydate]

Maxine was out there

[loopydate]

Also, count me among those who enjoyed the ending of Raw. Great build to a great silent finale. You can sort of tell that WWE is making it up as they go, but no matter the writing process, they're putting out a very entertaining product right now.

Am I concerned they're burning through potential stories too fast? Sure! But that doesn't mean that what they are doing isn't great just because they aren't doing what they could be doing.

[Xero]

No, I saw Rosa and she has black hair, not brown. I will take a screenshot.

You sure that's not a mini Nicole Bass?

[XL]

The best thing about the walkout has that HHH still had the fans on his side. He can stil use that to justify everything he says/does.

[Xero]

It would have been hilarious if the fans actually walked out.

[Testicle]

Am I the only one that thinks this whole angle is fucking awful? Probs.

[Testicle]

The problem with the angle is that it is centered around a 40 something semi-retired wrestler, who even in his prime, didn't draw the money required to be the top guy in the E.

[Xero]

I liked that it left a lot of questions and that's why I'm pumped. Want to see the follow-through, then I'll be able to give a real perspective on it. But as it stands on its own, I really liked it.

[Testicle]

I would like it so much more if it would get someone over other than HHH.

Edit: I guess Miz and Truth are getting something out of this. I guess I mean from a face standpoint.

Edit #2: Meh, I'm over-reacting, its not that bad. The fans were pretty into it.

[parkmania]

I really am curious if this is the reaction that the WWE expected out of the fans - siding with HHH. The whole first part of the segment seemed to be trying to paint Trips as an unsympathetic bastard who's "hearing" what his employees have to say without really "listening".

I think it could have helped to have a babyface or two (other than King - he really doesn't count) take exception to what's going on, and speak up. By having the heels do almost all the talking, and then Jerry reluctantly lead the walkout, it painted HHH in a MUCH more sympathetic light.


I guess I'm just really confused as to which side of the fence Hunter's gonna land on when all's said and done. And that's not a bad thing, that's a good thing.

I really am curious if this is the reaction that the WWE expected out of the fans - siding with HHH. The whole first part of the segment seemed to be trying to paint Trips as an unsympathetic bastard who's "hearing" what his employees have to say without really "listening".

I think it could have helped to have a babyface or two (other than King - he really doesn't count) take exception to what's going on, and speak up. By having the heels do almost all the talking, and then Jerry reluctantly lead the walkout, it painted HHH in a MUCH more sympathetic light.


I guess I'm just really confused as to which side of the fence Hunter's gonna land on when all's said and done. And that's not a bad thing, that's a good thing.

Nah I like it, it kinda shows the hypocrisy of wrestling in general, fans will cheer bad stuff if the good people are doing it and boo good stuff if the bad people are doing.

And by Good and bad I don't mean in a quality sense but in a morality sense.

Take it as is since its from Ryan Clark but it looks like there might be an actual reason outside of a storyline possibility to why certain stars were not at ringside and its due to the WWE not wanting the crowd to boo their top faces.

– It was noted that during the final segment on RAW last night, names like John Cena, CM Punk, Randy Orton, Sheamus, Mason Ryan, Eve Torres and Kelly Kelly weren’t at ringside. Word is that WWE was expecting the fans to boo the Superstars who walked out and didn’t want certain ones getting heat from the crowd.

“Wow what a mess the WWE is after Raw last night! Only one man can clean it up…time to bring back Funaki.”
