Official Raw Thread For 10/24/11 - Featuring That Parkour Guy

[MIZantine Empire]

Priceless loogi.
i thought it was funny after he spit up on the mic, you could hear lawler laughing, lol

[James Steele]

I like how they tried to cover up the random empty cardboard boxes to cushion HHH by writing "WWE AUDIO" in sharpie on one of them. I'm glad a multi-million dollar company is fiscally responsible enough to store their expensive audio equipment in UHAUL boxes instead of hard cases while they travel around the world.

Kevin Nash is in the best shape of his life.

Also, LOL at Triple H looking at Nash with his eyes almost closed.

You ain't fooling anyone, Hunter...I see you.

[Mr. Nerfect]

For some reason, things keep fucking up just as I am about to post, so I'll forget everything I was going to say and just say this: I am really excited for Survivor Series, and I actually think it'd be a good thing if the special attraction main event was just kept to Cena & Rock vs. The Miz & R-Truth. Too many cooks and all that. Use the concept of "surviving" in other ways. For example -- I'd propose a Six-Pack Elimination Match for the World Heavyweight Title, pitting Mark Henry against Randy Orton, Sheamus, Big Show, Christian and Cody Rhodes.

It seems like Alicia Fox is going to be the next challenger to Beth Phoenix, and that will make solid buffer. If I could suggest just one match for the card, though, I'd have it be Daniel Bryan vs. Tyson Kidd with Shawn Michaels in Bryan's corner and Bret Hart's in Tyson Kidd's. It's so pipe-dreamy, yet you're guaranteed the buys you want with the main events. Bryan vs. Kidd, given some time, could advertise not only to the worldwide universe, but also to the audience in Miami (many of whom I assume will be at WrestleMania), why Daniel Bryan was chosen to carry the blue briefcase.

Since he's won it, the WWE has done so little to build Bryan up, and it confuses me a little. I guess part of it might be to create "drama," with a losing streak giving Bryan more reason to cash-in early. And a theory going around might be that if Bryan gets super-over by losing, then it'll be a lot easier to get him over when he wins; but regardless, I don't think it would hurt to give Bryan a spot to have the style of wrestling match that many guessed would be the plan to counter-balance the pure spectacle of Cena vs. Rock in the same town that he'll be allegedly challenging for the World Title at in just a mere few months away.

Tag Team Main Event
John Cena & The Rock vs. The Miz & R-Truth

WWE Championship
Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. CM Punk

Six-Pack Elimination Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Mark Henry (c) vs. Randy Orton vs. Big Show vs. Sheamus vs. Christian vs. Cody Rhodes

Street Fight
Triple H vs. Kevin Nash

Special Attraction to Promote Our New DVD
Daniel Bryan (w/ Shawn Michaels) vs. Tyson Kidd (w/ Bret Hart)

WWE Divas Championship
Beth Phoenix (c) vs. Alicia Fox

14-Man Elimination Tag Team Match
Air Boom, Mason Ryan, John Morrison, Alex Riley, Zack Ryder & Santino Marella vs. Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Wade Barrett, Curt Hawkins, Tyler Reks, Primo Colon & Tito Colon (the heels past Ziggler & Swagger are recruited by Vickie Guerrero)

That last one is a bit pipe-dreamy, too; but I could see it happening. Most of the heels would be quickly eliminated by your dominant faces like Mason Ryan and Alex Riley, before Ziggler, Swagger & Barrett manage to get rid of the guys they treat less seriously, like Marella, Ryder and even Morrison (these days). Riley goes due to heel shenanigans, but then Air Boom & Ryan manage to stick the landing and walk out survivors, probably with Ryan getting the big move on Ziggler which puts him down, and allows Bourne to hit his move for the win. Would make a tremendously fun opening match.

And, for those wondering how I'd book Bryan vs. Kidd -- Bryan would get the clean submission victory over Kidd (perhaps even with a Sharpshooter), and then HBK and Bret Hart would both raise Bryan's arms, in an attempt to give your casual fan some faith in D-Bryan's chances at Mania.

[Londoner]

Noid, pretty sure Rock/Cena are going to be in the 5 on 5 match? And Truth/Miz for that matter.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I got the impression that it was announced as a straight tag team match between the four?

If not, just scrap that SS Elimination Match I had and put Triple H on the face side, along with Zack Ryder and Mason Ryan against The Miz, R-Truth, Kevin Nash, Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger, baby.

[Londoner]

Oh, didn't watch raw as you can tell. ;)

[Cool King]

I'm not one to usually complain about this sort of thing, but Wade Barrett needs better theme music.

I love his theme.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Same. If custom soundtracks weren't a thing, I'd be using Wade's theme for my CAW.

[Lara Emily]

Like wise they finally got a good mix of that song, well finally got a good mix since they stopped using Version 2 of the theme way back in the early days of The Corre.

[XCaliber]

Yeah Wae Barrett's theme is mint for his persona but I still like the Emphatic version better as an actual song but it has to quick of a tempo for a bigger dude like him.

[DaVe]

Barrett's theme is pretty sweet, been getting into it recently. The first 30 seconds is great, although I do think there is a better fit for him that Johnston should be able to whip up.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Barrett never even got his own theme song from winning that NXT challenge.

[St. Jimmy]

I love his theme.

Same.

[MoFo]

Boring Raw, nothing happened at all

Only watching next week for Michael Cole challenge

[Juan]

Why even bother?

[MoFo]

Because Cole is the best thing about Raw, obvs

[Juan]

3 on 2 Diva's Suvivor Series Match
Beth & Nattie vs Kelly Kelly, Eve Torres, & Alicia Fox

That seems far more likely than my card, to be honest. Just change "New York Street Fight" to "Unsanctioned" or something, since I can see them going with Triple H not being medically cleared, and Nash not officially being under contract. Also, Survivor Series is in Miami. :p

[MoFo]

'Team JR' vs 'Team Cole' will be on it, IMO......cant see them starting this mini feud just to end it on next wks Raw...

[Juan]

just to end it on next wks Raw...

We can hope

[Autobahn]

WWE have done the unthinkable and actually made me care about Kevin Nash since Summerslam. I feel dirty just saying that but there you go...
