Official RAW Thread for 01/09/12 - Will Hornswoggle seek his revenge after Kane transforms his home into Hell?

[Cool King]

"Lefty Loosey, Righty Tighty"

[FearedSanctity]

LOL, getting more and more ridiculous

[ClockShot]

Halfway home.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

They should just have Ryder jump over an actual shark.

[ace3025]

I say ryder is faking the whole kane stalking angle. He keeps "saving" eve week in and week out just to sleep with her

[Blakeamus]

What if Ryder drives off and when he looks over in the passenger side, it's KANE instead of Eve?

[ClockShot]

Still going.

[FearedSanctity]

You're such a good lookout, Eve

[Rollermacka]

Oh. And this just happened.

Totally worth the wait

[Blakeamus]

ha no thud or crack on the palets?

[ClockShot]

Ryder just fucked that up big time.

[Crimson]

Cole and Lawler are horrible.

[Rollermacka]

Thats what you get for taking 20 mins to change a tire Ryder!

[Corndad]

Choke out. Kane gets him some Eve now.

[FearedSanctity]

lol, such a nosedive this show took

[Blakeamus]

oh well

[Crimson]

So Kane has bested Cena every single time. I'll bet the house Cena throws him out of the Rumble

[Dukelorange]

That played out like a bad horror flick... it was great...

[Maluco]

Ziggler looking particularly weak before a title match, I know, I know, he is the heel...but why have him in that position when any other wrestler could have done it

[Blakeamus]

But having Cena in the main event "draws ratings" remember?

[Theo Dious]

Very clumsy ending to the show.

[Cool King]

I've got to get me some of that bouncy wood. :p

[Shisen Kopf]

Fuck you, this show has been golden.

If you say so. I thought it was pretty fucking stupid but whatever.

[#1-norm-fan]

Has anyone called Brodus' momma yet? It's urgent.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Pretty funny show overall. Not a tonne of good matches apart from Swagger v Punk (minus the ref botch) but whatever, I was entertained.

[Xero]

This was one of the worst - yet greatest RAWs in a while. It was, pretty much top to bottom, Wrestlecrap.

[CSL]

Ziggler looking particularly weak before a title match, I know, I know, he is the heel...but why have him in that position when any other wrestler could have done it

I saw Dolph beating the fuck out of Cena and shining during the match until he got put into the steps

[Gass]

pretty great raw tonight IMO. i was laughing all night

[rob11]

Will the WWE troll it's fans again next week? Probably.

[#1-norm-fan]

They can easily fix the Punk-Swagger ending by having Laurinaitis say because of the referee messing up and counting the 3 even though Swagger kicked out, Vickie and Swagger will be allowed at ringside. And they can even use it as "This is an example of why I will be the referee. To prevent something like this from happening." I don't think it's that detrimental unless something REALLY storyline altering was supposed to happen at the end of that match which I doubt.

[SammyG]

Jericho=Kharma's baby daddy

[Fox]

So what happened with Jericho?

[Xero]

He did the same thing as last week but then cried.

[Fox]

Glorious.

[Lock Jaw]

Just like Xero said, a hilariously bad RAW.

[#1-norm-fan]

This is the second straight memorable Raw.

Considering most Raws over the years blend in with each other and don't really stand apart, that's definitely saying something.

[Lock Jaw]

Seems like Jericho wants to try his hardest to get everyone to hate him during this heel run, including the smarks. This is going to be great.

[Flash Funk]

Flash Funk officially approves of Brodus Clay stealing my Funkettes.

[Skippord]

Brodus Clay is the greatest thing to ever happen

[Disco Apocalypse]

:love: Brodus

Far too long without a Disco-based gimmick on Raw

[#1-norm-fan]

Jim Duggan via Twitter:

I like Brodus Clay's character so much. I also like riding my 2x4 around my trailer like it's a horse. HooOooOoo! USA! USA! USA!

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Didn't realise Kane was a Milford man.

[Jordan]

Duggan lives in a trailer :(

[Raven Reaper]

:love: Brodus

Far too long without a Disco-based gimmick on Raw

Sadly, it's a far cry from the debut vignette promos where he's portrayed as a unstoppable monster heel like Henry. :/

I want the monster Brodus. That's all.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

like Henry. :/

Thank Christ we got an entertaining Brodus then instead of a shouty dull heel.

Actually kind of love Brodus in the ring. Agile and a suplex machine with some pretty creative headbutts.

MY BAD.

[daimoniac]

this weeks raw was all kinds of awesome -

the bordus clay swerve was one of the best things ive seen in the last year - people expecting him to be a monster, and then playing off a monstocity of a gimmick in a very effective way - the questio0n is, where do they go from here with it - is it going to be a string of horrible gimmicks or is he settled on the funkosaurus?

also, curt hawkins? johnny polo much?

the kane thing may finally be working - as long as they dont get completely retarded with it like they have in the past - burning caskets with people inside, wiring peoples gonads up to car batteries etc. that promo at the start of raw was genius, and i do like the new take on his misanthropy, though i think coming out and saying the crowd sucks point blank could probably have waited. im no bookerman, but i'd have let the anti-cena mob start to get behind kane for pummelling the piss out of him repeatedly until just before the scheduled ppv match, then have him go through the "everythign about cena i hate is reflected in every one of the wwe fans that sit there every week and deny the fact that they hate everything about their lives" bit. i personally would think that a more effective way to polarise the crowd than 3 weeks in have him cut this awesome promo tell them he hates them and beat up the IWC's golden boy during his decline in popularity.

oh, and kevin dunn, remember to mic up the pallets or have a sound effect ready in your next pre-tape...ok?

jericho... the dark promo intro videos (did they have footage left over from hade vansen's non debut?) the payoff and re-debut that seemed to be on a completely different track character wise. the lack of words, the sile looking more and more forced, and tonight the cracks in the shell and the tears. are we seeing the psychological breakdown? will the first words out of his mouth be "you people disgust me"? and who's pulling the strings? this is getting to be a very VERY interesting run, im really hoping they dont manage to fuck this up.

being that im a brit of a certain age, i cant help thinking that the things in the video referring to a mystery woman and the massively quick rise to being ni the public eye are reminiscent of a TV drama called GBH and the character Michael Murray, played by Robert Lindsay - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.B.H._(TV_series) who is his Eileen Critchley and what is she holding over him?

R-Truth. what in the fuck. was he lobotomozed after the skull crushing finale on the ramp? that face he pulled when he said "im a goooooooooooooooood r-truth." Theres something that doesnt sit right with me about him being face - was it r-truth that turned face or "li'l jimmy"? personally i thing he turned heel again tonight subjecting us to another performance of Ricardo Rodriguez cockroach song.

i know i might coma across as if im tearing into certain bits of things here, but to be honest im more interested in wwe raw now than i have been for about 10 years, and i know that the wwe are essentially trolling the public and IWC on various levels, but its too entertaining right now to be annoyed at.

[Jura]

You gotta jack up the tire first, bro.
Are you serious, bro? The wheel will spin if the car is jacked up.

So Jericho is Johnny Bravo?

[Disco Apocalypse]

Sadly, it's a far cry from the debut vignette promos where he's portrayed as a unstoppable monster heel like Henry. :/

Worked for Koslov, Umaga, Heindenrich...

Actually when has the last monster heel gimmick worked since Brock Lesnar?

[Damndirty]

So you work for WWE and are personally effected by the ratings I presume...

I'd rather WWE stay on the air, not try to kill itself. I will watch it every week, but for how long will it be there when they keep pulling shit like this?

[Damndirty]

Duggan lives in a trailer :(

He's the real life Jimmy King.

Umaga

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Or y'know, Mark Henry.

[Disco Apocalypse]

Umaga

You consider that a success?

[Disco Apocalypse]

Or y'know, Mark Henry.

Fair enough... just wish it lasted a bit longer...

[Anybody Thrilla]

You consider that a success?

Um, yes?
