Official RAW Thread for 12/26/11 - Is it going to be super?

[Mr. C]

RAW is in Illinois tonight, so CM Punk is going to be over like rover. Last video before 1/2/12. According to reports, tonight’s video will make it clear who they’re for.

[Purgatory]

nothing like 7 hours early.

[SEXUAL VANILLA]

Daniel Bryan vs Dolph Ziggler in a 60 minute go watch half of Iron Man instead match

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Totally support extended tv time for Dolph Ziggler. :y:

Good post, SEXUAL VANILLA. :y:

[MoFo]

I hope itbegins turns into a countdown clock again like last time Jericho come back

[Lock Jaw]

Gonna put TPWW POSTING CAREER (of somebody else) on the line to say it is NOT JERICHO.

[SEXUAL VANILLA]

According to my sources: 100% CONFIRMED IT IS JERICHO

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Gonna put TPWW POSTING CAREER (of somebody else) on the line to say it is NOT JERICHO.

You can use mine. I've been meaning to disappear for a while now.

[Aguakate]

I'm not going to get my hopes up about this being Jericho.

Last time they did this, for a little bit I thought it could've been Sting, and then it turned out to be Undertaker.

I don't want to be disappointed again.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

But it was Undertaker AND Triple H

double whammy!

[Aguakate]

But it was still a disappointment, product of getting your hopes high for no reason, only based on stuff you read on TPWW!

I'm a very fragile man. I can't take another!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Well at least Jericho has gotten out in front of this and said it's not him. So if it really isn't him, people can't say they were mislead.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Of course we all know people will still complain about it, but that's the society in which we all live.

[Aguakate]

Sting never said it was him, either. We all just assumed it was, and believed internet reports.

I'ma believe it's Undertaker 'til proven otherwise.

Surprise me, double-double E!

[Iop]

It would be humorous if it was Bill DeMott.

[Aguakate]

I would be pissed if it did turn out to be Skip Sheffield with his robot gimmick, whatever it's called.

He's kinda hinted at it being him, but he's probably just messing around...

...HOPEFULLY.

I would LOVE it if it was Skip Sheffield! Yip Yip! OMG.

But we all know its Jericho.

:(

[SEXUAL VANILLA]

I'd rather it be Taker than Skip Sheffield. What a disappointment that would be. Good thing it's Jericho though.

[Jordan]

I ran into Jericho and he smiled when I asked

[SEXUAL VANILLA]

Is tonights RAW a supershow?

[Aguakate]

They all are.

[Corndad]

I know why people are saying the Understaker will be the guy coming back (comes back around this time of the year, setting up Mania match, etc.) but I just don't understand how the school themed videos would relate to him.

For that reason gonna go against logic and say it's not Taker.

Punk is gonna be uber-over tonight.

School themed videos?

McCool was a teacher remember?

Nah, its Jericho.......

[Immortal Moose]

These promos kind of remind me of the Judgment Day 2000 Taker return videos.

That said there seems to be much more murmuring that this is Jericho than there was about Sting coming to WWE, only 1 more week either way :D

Edit: http://youtu.be/3ouC4yUgkRw

[Jordan]

I fucking told you guys who it is. Listen to those in the know assclowns.

[Jura]

What else can you tell us since you're in the know?

[SEXUAL VANILLA]

Why are northeastern crowds always hot and more smarky? I guess Chicago is technically in the mid west but its close enough.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yeah Jericho said he is refusing to talk about WWE on twitter now and that he's done. It's him.

[Immortal Moose]

Yea, I guess it's a given but really don't want to get my hopes up.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Why are northeastern crowds always hot and more smarky? I guess Chicago is technically in the mid west but its close enough.

Cause WWE HQ is in Stamford CT so WWE is ours. I've been to Titan Towers.

[SEXUAL VANILLA]

Jericho looks pretty fat in his latest pictures. I wonder if he will come back with a SEXUAL VANILLA gimmick.

[SEXUAL VANILLA]

I hope Cena takes Kanes mask this week as revenge

[Cool King]

We might see the return of R-Truth tonight.

His suspension ended last week.

[ClockShot]

Show hasn't started and we're up to 33 posts already.

Wow...........

[owenbrown]

from PWInsider:

A number of readers at Raw sent word that WWE is confiscating signs promoting Colt Cabana, Cliff Compton and the Art of Wrestling podcast Cabana runs. Cabana is from Chicago.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Tara is backstage hanging out with the divas

[Immortal Moose]

lmfao

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

ITS PROMOING TIME.....OH WAIT....

[Corndad]

Was Jericho always in the opening?

[ClockShot]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

ACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCE!

[Poit]

I have no stream. :(

[Blakeamus]

Whoa We just Got #Laurinitus!

[Corndad]

HAHAHA even has the shirt on

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

NOW IT'S TIME FOR PROMOING TIME!

[Immortal Moose]

Was Jericho always in the opening?

I believe so.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Focusing on the real Pepsi logo in the crowd? Sponorship?

[Corndad]

See... he's taken Management classes lol

[Blakeamus]

Hey I can see CM Punk in a Pepsi commercial

[Immortal Moose]

I'm enjoying Laurinitus quite a bit lately.

[Providence Peep]

Was Johnny Ace as bad on the mic back in the day as is he now?

[CSL]

I have no stream. :(

reputation sheet

[el bobbo]

Cena wins the title tonight.

[ClockShot]

Gauntlet match for Punk.

Oooh. I'm intrigued.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Has Johnny Ace said OK yet?

[Cool King]

Gauntlet Match.

Nice.

[Blakeamus]

Yes

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: the crowd

[Providence Peep]

He can't wrestle OR talk!

[Theo Dious]

lol All Japan reference.

[CSL]

ahaha the All Japan line

[Corndad]

that Freakin Punk guy aint too bad on the mic.

[FearedSanctity]

Odds 2 of the 3 are Bryan and Ryder?

[Immortal Moose]

Getting this done early

[Blakeamus]

awesome a video in the opening promo!

[el bobbo]

Fuck you Ryan Clark. Liar

[Cool King]

Something was written on the blackboard.

[ClockShot]

The End Begins?

Wasn't that the tagline for God of War 3?

KRATOS IS COMING??!?!?!!?!?!

[Providence Peep]

That promo is freaky.

[rob11]

It is the end...the end of high prices!

[Theo Dious]

Fuck you Ryan Clark. Liar

Never attribute to malice that which can be attributed to the inability to distinguish one's ass from a hole in the ground.

[VSG]

Well it is still up in the air as to who it is. I think the blackboard said "It is Coming"

[Tb1]

Stream if anyone's in need:

http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/99756/1/watch-wwe-monday-night-raw.html

ok

[el bobbo]

It might be Glacier.

[Shadrick]

Alright.

Punk is gonna lose tonight after Laurinitis interferes. Whoever he loses to will have the title match next week. They'll beat Punk for the title next week after whoever the vignettes are for shows up, probably Jericho, setting it up for the Road to Wrestlemania feud. Thats my prediction.

[VSG]

With Del Rio out, I guess whoever debuts next week is a heel.

[VSG]

Damn the server "loads" are back

[Blakeamus]

God I hate Cole's announcing...

[ClockShot]

That an on and off "boring" chant I hear?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Burl Ives sang Rudolph for the tv-special Cole is right.

[Corndad]

Booker actually isn't looking too bad in the ring here.

[VSG]

Pretty good match actually.

[VSG]

HOLY SHIT, he won!

Lol at Lawler going OMG.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Booker Vs. Cody Solid Royal Rumble IC title match.

[Blakeamus]

nope

[Innovator]

OMG CENA OMG OMG OMG OMG

[Blakeamus]

Booker actually isn't looking too bad in the ring here.

nope

[Blakeamus]

Ha!

[CSL]

dunno why they weren't playing Booker up as a 6x world champion/legend as opposed to it being a surprise/upset, only serves to make Cody look better if there's a blow off match

[Corndad]

I thought Henry was out with an injury?

[Corndad]

Maybe this is the start of the Show Heel turn?

[Emperor Smeat]

So Mark Henry potentially could be a Raw brand wrestler if he wins tonight and somehow wins the title next week.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

So obviously Kane is attacking Cena because Cena knows nothing about hate and rising above. Kane was burned nearly to death and had to fight to survive all of his life alone.

[ClockShot]

Has Henry been "cleared to wrestle" yet?

[CSL]

I thought Henry was out with an injury?

either way I doubt he'll do much, I'd guess Punk over Swagger in a few minutes, Punk over a Ziggler in a longer/more competitive match leaving him "exhausted" by the time Mizark shows up for a quick match or whatever shenanigans they have in store

[Cool King]

lol Brodus.

[Immortal Moose]

lol Brodus

[Corndad]

Lol at Brodus still not debuting

[Shadrick]

Wow, Show punched the SHIT outta Otunga.

[ClockShot]

Here we go. The legendary "arm behind the back" match.

[CSL]

Dude Love is gonna show up and mandible claw Show

[Corndad]

Go back to 2009 Swagger lol HAHAHA love Dolph.

[Emperor Smeat]

I'd laugh if they forgot Brodus again or he's somehow the person the videos have been mentioning which would be a huge letdown.

[Corndad]

And the crowd goes wild

[Cool King]

Swagger should have mentioned Ziggler's 5 minute World Title reign.

[ClockShot]

Tyson Kidd?

Where'd they dig him up?

[Blakeamus]

with a full head of hair

[Innovator]

Next time Tyson Kidd is on RAW, he'll have an afro.

[Blakeamus]

That was poo

[Blakeamus]

ha ref botched

[ClockShot]

Thanks for coming, Tyson.

LOL at the ref having a hard time counting 3.

[Cool King]

FCW referee, Rod Zapata.

[ClockShot]

Cena calls out the Rocketeer.

Rocketeer wins again.

[Innovator]

Lawler corrected himself from calling Kane the big red machine.

Can't offend skynet.

[Corndad]

Love that Tyson Kidd and Brodus Clay are both trending on Twitter right now and the majority of tweets are about their hair lol

[Crimson]

lol @ Gina Carano as a lead role

[Innovator]

lol @ Gina Carano as a lead role
Crims don't say anything bad about Gina

[Innovator]

Welcome to Chicago Cena

[Corndad]

Boo that Man.

[Cool King]

Stu the cameraman.

[Mr. C]

Brodus Clay next week? About time.

[CSL]

lol Cena is the man. That smile is the thought of the extra $$$ in the bank from those Hate Cena shirts

[Innovator]

salty?

[Cool King]

That screaming girl is getting annoying now.

[Innovator]

Jericho better get pissed, Cena is stealing his shameless pandering

[ClockShot]

Alright. Fire up that pipe organ.

[CSL]

lol "boooooo Cena" "yayyyyyy Cena he mentioned our town!"

[CSL]

That screaming girl is getting annoying now.

srsly

[Corndad]

Miz lol

[Innovator]

booo Cena yayyy Allstate Arena!

[ClockShot]

Wait.....what?

[Blakeamus]

what a twist!

[Innovator]

Holy self tanner.

[CSL]

does Miz's shirt have the Hulkamania font? #geek

[Damndirty]

Miz looks like a bad animatronic prop.

[Cool King]

"Throw It Back" chants. haha

[CSL]

that ref got there quickkkk, it's like he almost knew what was going to happen or something

[Damndirty]

I predict Kane's BOOM!!! to pop up in the middle of the match.

[ClockShot]

Miz is half right.

[Blakeamus]

and Miz trying to suck the heat away from Cena?

[Damndirty]

TRUTH!!!

[ClockShot]

TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTH!

[Blakeamus]

R Truth!

[Emperor Smeat]

:D R-Truth is back

[Cool King]

As a face?

[ClockShot]

GET 'EM, RON!

[The Whole F'n Show]

[Damndirty]

I was gonna say smacking with a water bottle....

[Immortal Moose]

lol the water bottle!

[VSG]

What the hell did Truth say???

Christmas is over when you open all the presents, Jimmy!

[CSL]

Miz got potatoed

[Cool King]

I like how Laurinaitis has what looks like a halo around his head.

[The Whole F'n Show]

his self tanner was starting to puddle after the water bottle

[Damndirty]

I still think Awesome Truth was a good tag team. Died prematurely!

[Damndirty]

Well, I'll say we might not see him smoking on TV anymore.

[Blakeamus]

Otunga needs to wrestle with the bowtie

[CSL]

heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
hey hey hey
oooooohhhhhhhhhhh

any second

[The Whole F'n Show]

Otunga needs to wrestle with the bowtie

didnt brutus the barber beefcake?

[Damndirty]

Two blackies against a one-armed white guy. RACIST! RACIST!!!

[Blakeamus]

didnt brutus the barber beefcake?

I believe.

[Cool King]

Big Show won via DQ?

But Big Show untied his hand before Henry entered the ring, so wouldn't he have been DQ'd for that? :-\

[CSL]

how long have they been using that Benny Benassi/Skrillex song for that WWE Network ad? guilty pleasure

[Blakeamus]

Big Show won via DQ?

But Big Show untied his hand before Henry entered the ring, so wouldn't he have been DQ'd for that? :-\

No it was still tied after Mark Henry walked into the ring

[Blakeamus]

how long have they been using that Benny Benassi/Skrillex song for that WWE Network ad? guilty pleasure

Got me into more of Skrillex's work

[ClockShot]

ALBERTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Cool King]

No it was still tied after Mark Henry walked into the ring

Yeah, but he loosened it.

The referee's knot was tampered with.

[Cool King]

Also, I like the gold wheelchair. :lol:

[CSL]

lol King's wheelchair spec

[Blakeamus]

haha wheelchair

[Blakeamus]

Yeah, but he loosened it.

The referee's knot was tampered with.

True

[Cool King]

Crowd: lol, he said "groin".

[Immortal Moose]

Got me into more of Skrillex's work

assuming no sarcasm, nice sprites and scary monsters is good

[Cool King]

I also like how Ricardo has his bowtie on his neck brace. :lol:

[ClockShot]

Helloooooooooooooooo Bellas.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

"umm Brie you're not the only person that throws parties..."

lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

[The Whole F'n Show]

neck brace with a bow tie? hope joel gertner doesnt see this lol

[Blakeamus]

I wonder how much that wheel chair cost?

[ClockShot]

So with Del Rio out, where's Ricky go? Back to the farm? Few weeks/months vacation time?

[Damndirty]

Translating heel talk: Love you guys, gonna try out the suggestion given to me from Vince to be a bigger heel when I get back!

[Damndirty]

So with Del Rio out, where's Ricky go? Back to the farm? Few weeks/months vacation time?

He turns back into Vicky Guerrero.

[CSL]

http://distilleryimage2.instagram.com/bc4c6ec2303a11e180c9123138016265_7.jpg

[Innovator]

Poor Swagger.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I wonder how much that wheel chair cost?

Lawler said 200 bucks.

[Providence Peep]

didnt brutus the barber beefcake?

No, he did wear one to the ring but took it off before the match.

[Blakeamus]

Good booking in my eyes for a gaunlet match in his hometown.

[Blakeamus]

Kinda sucks though that they are gonna end RAW with this Kane/Cena shit.

[Innovator]

Someone needs to bring a Vickie is Hot sign and get it right in front

[ClockShot]

So figure 25-30 minutes for Punk to go through 3 or possibly 4 guys. This thing with Kane I assume must be last and hopefully is a big segment.

[Corndad]

#Heelness

[Providence Peep]

Anyone think The Spirit Squad will interfere now?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

No rest except for this commercial break!

[CSL]

3/1 Punk is in a reverse chin lock when it comes back

[CSL]

6/1 being choked in the corner

[Damndirty]

Kinda sucks though that they are gonna end RAW with this Kane/Cena shit.


We already know it's going to be Kane explaining to Cena,"I attacked you because you needed a bad guy to fight and I wasn't getting over very well as a face, so I put TWO masks on to represent just that."

[CSL]

8/1 random leg submission/rest hold

[Immortal Moose]

well it was a submission

edit: ^lol

[Cool King]

Anyone think The Spirit Squad will interfere now?

http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/pictures/t/travisbain/03.jpg

No.

[CSL]

congratulations long shot betters

[ClockShot]

Anyone think The Spirit Squad will interfere now?

Kenny's out on the indy scene. The other 3 got lost in transit, me thinks.

:lol:

[Providence Peep]

Kenny's out on the indy scene. The other 3 got lost in transit, me thinks.

:lol:

So, maybe Kenny is the next CM Punk? :shifty:

[Blakeamus]

Anyone think The Spirit Squad will interfere now?

More chance of a Mick Foley presenting a Dolph Ziggler, This is Your Life segment to have a Spirit Squad reunion.

[ClockShot]

OUCH!

Looks like Zigs took that wrong.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Brodus Clay interferes at the end of the gauntlet with the match with Johnny Ace. Punk then faces Clay for the WWE title on 1/2.

[Providence Peep]

http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww130/RKOknockoutDiva/Spirit%20Squad/11.jpg

Those were the days.

[Blakeamus]

He is debuting Next Week....

[ClockShot]

YER OUT!

[Blakeamus]

Ziggler gets a title shot next week!

[CSL]

chyeahhh Dolph

[ClockShot]

I.............was not expecting that.


This thing with Kane is gonna be big.

[Corndad]

Ziggles gets a shot next week. Nice.

[Damndirty]

He is debuting Next Week....

No... it may be.... after that.... or.... after that..... or.... after that....

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wow.

[FearedSanctity]

So I'm guessing this means that if the ratings for this week suck that Ziggles wins next week?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

#heel.

[Blakeamus]

who said Jericho was going to return and cost CM Punk the title to Ziggler next week?

[Shadrick]

Alright.

Punk is gonna lose tonight after Laurinitis interferes. Whoever he loses to will have the title match next week. They'll beat Punk for the title next week after whoever the vignettes are for shows up, probably Jericho, setting it up for the Road to Wrestlemania feud. Thats my prediction.

We're about halfway there. Boom.

[Shadrick]

who said Jericho was going to return and cost CM Punk the title to Ziggler next week?

Teehee:love:

[CSL]

Ziggler going for "Best Josh Koscheck Hair Impression" right there

[Blakeamus]

Really want to get that...

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Skip Sheffield beat Michael McGuillacutty in a dark match tonight! Yepyepyepwhatitdo!

[Damndirty]

Yep down the drain right ?

[Damndirty]

And here we.... go

[Corndad]

It's the Christmas Creature!

[Cool King]

Kane's music was about 6 days late.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Silence of the Kane.

[Damndirty]

something tells me his essenct is faded

[ClockShot]

Awwww. No voice box either?

Can't we just have the little things back?

[Blakeamus]

so Kane attacking Cena has to involve...Cena living in a lie.

[Damndirty]

Saw the flames coming.

[Blakeamus]

FEEL THE ENERGY! FEEL THE FIRE!

[ClockShot]

Cena needs a new pair of underwear.

[Providence Peep]

They hate each other on TPWW

[CSL]

think ol' Glen forgot to cover all of his brow bone with the facepaint

[Supreme Olajuwon]

*Close up on bored couple in the crowd*

[Corndad]

random crowd shot.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

ohhhhhhhh so this is like wrestlers ganging up on Cena so that he embraces his anger

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I wonder if Roddy Piper has Kane in his contacts

[Providence Peep]

Some people hate dentists, Kane.

[Damndirty]

Until he embrace. you can't embrace you contract
