Jericho better fucking speak.

[GD]

Daniel Bryan challenged Kofi "Boop Boop" Kingston to a Champion versus Champion match for tonight.

[Lock Jaw]

Also, make sure to keep an eye on www.hasbrodusclaydebutedyet.com for updates as well!

[GD]

The Chris Jericho trolling marathon shall continue. You wait and watch Supremo!

[Cuzziebro]

Anyone got a stream for this, please? I don't usually watch RAW but Jericho's trolling last week was awesome and has me intrigued.

[Savio]

I dont like the title joke :mad:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yeah Raw has gotten way better since Horny was drafted to Smackdown 2 years ago.

[Damndirty]

I'm not sure if there's anything I should look forward to tonight....

[Corndad]

I hope Tweener/Heel Bryan shows his face tonight.

[Nicky Fives]

I'd put good money on Jericho not saying a word tonight AND Brodus still not debuting.....

[Corndad]

WWE.com has announced a match pitting World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan against Kofi Kingston for tonight’s RAW SuperShow.

After Kingston questioned Bryan’s victories over Big Show, the SmackDown Superstar challenged the WWE Tag Team Champion to a match. Bryan added, “Obviously non-title, of course.”

LOL "Obviously Non-Title". I'm gonna love this new Daniel Bryan. At least they are doing SOMETHING with him now.

[Innovator]

Yeah Raw has gotten way better since Horny was drafted to Smackdown 2 years ago.
At a SD house show I went to the place went crazy for Hornswoggle while Cody was in the ring. Cody pie faced him, leading to me being the only one clapping.

[Triple Naitch]

I hope you’re all excited for #Raw tonight…Brodus will be debuting, and @IamJericho will be speaking. It’s like a redo from last week.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Hope the Bryan/Kofi match is short so we get more Laurinaitis.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wonder what WWE will say is trending worldwide on twitter but really isn't tonight.

[Xero]

#JERITROLL

[ClockShot]

I'm thinking this to be a scaled down show since the BCS title game is tonight and will take away some numbers in ratings. After that, Raw should be running unopposed up until baseball season or a really good show hits monday nights.

I'm looking forward for Jericho picking up a mic and speaking. And I'm excited to see that R-Truth got in store to crack us up tonight.

I'll be here for the party.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I want to see Johnny Ace announce that he's pushing Brodus Clay's debut back until the Royal Rumble. Then several times during the match we see Brodus backstage just before he's meant to come out and he somehow gets replaced each time.</font>

[Xero]

LOL, that would be awesome.

[Theo Dious]

Jericho better fucking speak.

Oh yeah, have him ruin the brilliance of last week by pissing all over it.

[Theo Dious]

After that, Raw should be running unopposed up until baseball season or a really good show hits monday nights.

So, until baseball season then.

[Blakeamus]

Let the TROLLING begin!

[Shisen Kopf]

I dont like the title joke :mad:

They pretty much suck balls every week.

[Corndad]

That's gotta be... That's gotta be KANE!

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Sin Cara and his blue mood lighting should interrupt Kane and his red mood lighting and make a swell purple atmosphere.

[Rollermacka]

:-\ This verson of Kane talks too much

[Innovator]

Sin Cara and his blue mood lighting should interrupt Kane and his red mood lighting and make a swell purple atmosphere.
Afterlife would be very pleased.

[Theo Dious]

:-\ This verson of Kane talks too much

Fuck that. This is brilliant shit.

[Blakeamus]

We start off the opening segment of Kane, eh?

[ClockShot]

Yeah Kane. We're responsible for him. We'll give you that.

[Corndad]

Calm down there Kaner lol

[CSL]

down to hell he says

[el bobbo]

Doesn't Cena know any better by now? Don't fall down the stairs.

[Corndad]

Why are those guys just randomly standing there LOL

[Rollermacka]

Fuck that. This is brilliant shit.

I dont know maybe it's just me but he's comming off more whiny than anything else. Just come out, destroy Cena, and look intimidating. Sounds like good booking to me

[Blakeamus]

ha Kane vanished

[Blakeamus]

He may be talking more than he should, but this is good stuff to keep Cena busy til Mania time. I would love for Kane to just walk out and wreck shit like a monster though.

[Theo Dious]

I dont know maybe it's just me but he's comming off more whiny than anything else. Just come out, destroy Cena, and look intimidating. Sounds like good booking to me

The whole point of this is to develop some psychology for Cena to head into Wrestlemania. Aside from that, with Kane accusing the crowd of self-hatred in booing Cena, they might actually be able to engineer Cena's crowd reaction.
Having to stand up against a physically intimidating monster is nothing new for Cena. It isn't calculated to affect his attitude. They want to set something up to make Cena tougher and more agressive. Going down his same old route isn't going to do that. Therefore Kane needs to talk.

[el bobbo]

Big reaction for Jinder Mahal.

[Theo Dious]

Somebody needs to beat into the heads of WWE what a fucking anniversary is.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Tiger Ali Singh knock off

[Corndad]

[Blakeamus]

[Innovator]

Fuck, I miss Edge

Wow. They're putting Edge in................this fast.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Edge</font> :love:

:D Edge making it as a Hall of Fame nominee

:lol: at Laurinaitis earlier

[Blakeamus]

Fucking sweet!

[Blakeamus]

Wow. They're putting Edge in................this fast.

I'd rather them putting him in while he's fucking alive then wait to induct when he is dead (Macho Man)

[BizarroKing]

Nice...except for the fact that Mania 29 is in TORONTO! WHAT THE HELL WWE!?

[Blakeamus]

Another inductee tonight?

[Corndad]

Tell em Mason!

[ClockShot]

Dave Batista Jr. sighting.

[Blakeamus]

Nice...except for the fact that Mania 29 is in TORONTO! WHAT THE HELL WWE!?

Yeah I was suprised because I thought it would be then...but oh well! Congrats to EDGE!

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Great package for Edge there. Miss that guy.

[CSL]

great acting right here

[Blakeamus]

ha Kane doing the creep

[ClockShot]

WHO'S HUNTING WHO?!?!?!?

Would have laughed if it was Truth coming out the door.

[VSG]

Creepy Kane appearance

[Rollermacka]

Kane had red lighting and Shemus had green. Was it just me or was there a purple lighting when Zach was talking?

[Cool King]

It's great that Edge is in the Hall of Fame now. :y:

I'm a bit surprised that they're doing two in one night, though I am looking forward to seeing who it will be, like I always do.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Kane's the Boogeyman and he's comin' to getcha!

[CSL]

remember when Kofi Kingston pinned Randy Orton clean

[Corndad]

Bryan #Tweener

[CSL]

lol mass indifference for Daniel Bryan Danielson :'(

[Blakeamus]

It's great that Edge is in the Hall of Fame now. :y:

I'm a bit surprised that they're doing two in one night, though I am looking forward to seeing who it will be, like I always do.

I don't think that they official annouced Mascaras on LIVE TV so, it could be him....

[Blakeamus]

that's how you book a champion!

[ClockShot]

You gotta be fucking kidding me?

[Corndad]

Wow. Squash Match.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

My stream just cut out. Thankfully it was during this match and not Beth vs Eve.

[Cool King]

Wow, Kofi.

[CSL]

the world's largest pear

[Damndirty]

Ace said Brodus Clay debuts tonight! YAY FINALLY! Oh... wait... false alarm... again!

[taker707]

its probably just a video for mil

[Blakeamus]

Hope the Bryan/Kofi match is short so we get more Laurinaitis.

Short indeed

[Corndad]

Cue a Mark Henry Beat down of Show on Smackdown this week. Love where this is all going on SD side.

[ClockShot]

BRODUS CLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*fingers crossed*

[Cool King]

Brodus Clay has a door!

[Corndad]

This debut will still not happen. I don't care if he does have a door picture thing.

[BizarroKing]

Holy Crap for real? it's gonna happen!? The debut of Brodus Clay? has he been revived from the dead?

[ClockShot]

What are the current odds on whose the sacrifical lamb?

[Eklipse]

Are they not broadcasting in HD tonight? I wonder why.
I'm not impressed with Brodus Clay at all. He's just some fat, ugly dude. What's the big deal? Not like we've never seen it before.

[Eklipse]

What are the current odds on whose the sacrifical lamb?

evan bourne or DiBiase

[Blakeamus]

Planet Funk?

[Corndad]

Funkacaurus??? HAHAHAHAHAHHAA

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>GIVE BRODUS CLAY THE WWE TITLE RIGHT NOW</font>

[FearedSanctity]

YES YES, GOD YES

[Theo Dious]

So... THIS is Brodus Clay's debut...

[The Whole F'n Show]

what the hell was that? all that build up for a fn godfather ripoff

[ace3025]

What the fuck just happened

[Corndad]

I have no words for this. I can't explain how happy I am watching this.

[BizarroKing]

.......I think I just died...

[CSL]

well that might have been the best thing in the history of pro wrestling

[Theo Dious]

...somebody call his mama...?

[FearedSanctity]

SO WORTH IT

[LoDownM]

:wtf:

[Blakeamus]

I don't know either to be disappointed or delightful

[Dragoneyes]

MOTHER OF GOD!!!what the hell was that

[Innovator]

My bad?

[dronepool]

That funky gimmick is cheesy :-\

[Innovator]

I'm pretty sure Hawkins was laughing his ass off.

[ClockShot]

Ok. I got it.



http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-basic/jawdrop.gif

[Corndad]

Somebody call his Momma! CHEA!

[Rollermacka]

I walked back into the room and Brodus is dancing to Somebody Call My Momma. Somewhere Ernest Miller's career is rolling over in it's grave

[CSL]

don't know what makes me more happy, Brodus's one liners or hearing Somebody Call My Mama again

[Blakeamus]

I still don't know how to react...

[Maluco]

Somebody call ma' momma? lmao...wtf

[CSL]

That funky gimmick is cheesy :-\

No. Shit.

[Blakeamus]

that was a swerve in a half...

[Cool King]

It's like they threw Flash Funk, Viscera, Rikishi and Ernest Miller together and got Brodus Clay.

[Hanso Amore]

Ill give it this...Brodus played it like a champ. His running commentary during the match was golden.

[CSL]

I want the rest of RAW to be Brodus Clay

[Damndirty]

Bout time this fucking happened, no matter if it's like this.

[ace3025]

Ernest the Rikishi-father!!

[FearedSanctity]

MY BAD

[Theo Dious]

It's like they threw Flash Funk, Viscera, Rikishi and Ernest Miller together and got AWESOMENESS.

[Innovator]

Can we get Brodus on commentary please?

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Jesus. Only just got over him shouting "my bad" in the match. Brilliant.

[Team Sheep]

Lol 2nd week in a row, Vince has caught out the fans. Awesome.

[Triple Naitch]

Loved Brodus.

[Hanso Amore]

Hey, Im all for this. Much better chance this gets over than just RANDOM HOSS MONSTER NUMBER 10

[Hanso Amore]

YOU DIDNT SEE THAT COMING

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Calling it now, Brodus is going to have a dance spot in the Rumble with a returning Rikishi.</font>

[Blakeamus]

Ill give it this...Brodus played it like a champ. His running commentary during the match was golden.

I think that is what made it more laughable

[ClockShot]

:lol:

Can't stop laughing after reading all those posts.

Gotta rewatch that match tonight on youtube or whoever gets it first.

just hearing Michael Cole say the word "Funkasaurus" makes me laugh

[Rollermacka]

<font color=goldenrod>Calling it now, Brodus is going to have a dance spot in the Rumble with a returning Flash Funk</font>

:yes:

[el bobbo]

Brodus Clay is number one on Twitter. The Funkasaurus is also up there. Why aren't they shoving that down our throats?

[Theo Dious]

There is only one man who can make the Funkasaurus even cooler:

http://www.worldwrestlinginsanity.com/am2/uploads/1/akeem.jpg

The AFRICAN DREAM as his manager!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Brodus Clay debuted a new gimmick, it got a positive response.</font>

Just by watching the video, you can see his hands shaking. He was holding in that Boogy Woogy Funkasaurus in him....

[Dukelorange]

Was that Naomi Night with Brodeus??? Man that's too bad if it is?

[Nicky Fives]

Has got "Somebody call my momma" stuck in my head......

[ClockShot]

Ruh-roh.

[el bobbo]

Did the ref fuck that up?

[Emperor Smeat]

was that a botch with the count?

[Corndad]

That was a hella weird ending

[FearedSanctity]

REFBALL

[Blakeamus]

Yep

[Cool King]

Botched finish?

I think I heard the referee saying sorry to Punk.

[Damndirty]

What the hell is up with Punk's matches fuckin up at the end like this lately?

[jkman61494]

Wow. That was a storyline changing screw up by the referee.

They're going to have to do a rematch now to screw Punk next week.

[CSL]

I'd like to think they didn't tell Punk and Swagger the finish

[rob11]

Time for Jericho already

[el bobbo]

DumbKellyKelly (https://twitter.com/#!/DumbKellyKelly) Dumb Kelly Kelly

When referees blow things, they get criticized. When I blow things, I get the Divas title.

Do they want Ryder to get boo'd like Cena? WTF.

[FearedSanctity]

#NowThatsWhatICallMarineBiology

[rockman725]

Botched finish?

I think I heard the referee saying sorry to Punk.

Yeah it was a botch. He did say "sorry" to Punk as he raised his hands.

[Dukelorange]

This looks like a work this time anyway.... so Im not mad at this?

[Damndirty]

So who really botched this, Swagger or the ref?

[jkman61494]

I'm pretty sure it look like a work because the people in the back did a great job at trying to save face. I'd bet a lot of money they'll redo this match and have Swagger win.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Don't think Punk would've been trying to go straight into the Vice if it was a work.

[Mr. Pierre]

I'm assuming the ref, because it looked like Punk was setting up for the "kickout into the Vice" finish that he did at Survivor Series.

[Theo Dious]

So who really botched this, Swagger or the ref?

Chris Benoit did it.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

SHOULD I GET HIM?

[Cool King]

After nine consecutive squashes on Superstars, WWE ran vignettes promoting his return to television on the November 7 episode of Raw. However, Clay's television return was continuously delayed by Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis to be "next week", with this trend continuing all the way into January 2012. On the January 9th episode of Raw, he finally made his return in a match against Curt Hawkins, debuting as a dancing dinosaur, the Funkasaurus Brodus Clay.

lol, "dancing dinosaur".

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Poor Ricky

[Corndad]

4 Horseman!

[Blakeamus]

the four fucking horseman!

[Corndad]

Wow wonder if Flair will be involved with this.

[ClockShot]

The Horsemen, eh.

[Hanso Amore]

YES

[Blakeamus]

Flair still in TNA?

[Hanso Amore]

What about Paul Roma?

[Corndad]

That's huge.

[Rollermacka]

Wow wonder if Flair will be involved with this.

:eek: They are showing alot of TNA superstar Ric Flair on RAW. It would be extremely hard not to have a Horseman induction and not have Flair (correct me if I'm wrong but didnt every incarnation of the Horsemen have Flair in it?)

[ClockShot]

Get your waterbottles ready.

[Corndad]

You smell like a Donkey R Truth!

[Hanso Amore]

LOL. Ricardo pulled that off so well.

[Eklipse]

Ricardo Rodriguez gets best insult in pro wrestling. ever.

[Cool King]

The Four Horsemen. :y:

[BizarroKing]

Awesome for The Horsemen...Too bad about Randy though...

[Malfeitor]

I love the Horsemen as much as the next guy, but an obvious joke has to be made here...

DLVH and Seth both just filled the cup.

[CSL]

apparently Truth wasn't watching backstage. Lucky for Miz that

[Blakeamus]

:rofl:R-Truth!

[Corndad]

Little Cocharoach!

REMIX

[ClockShot]

Not bad.

:rofl: That was even better than The Funkasauras

[Blakeamus]

ONE MO GEEN!

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I've laughed so much during tonights Raw.

[Dukelorange]

Im still hoping that it wasnt Naomi with Brodeus...

[Cool King]

Ricardo's Remix. :cool:

[Blakeamus]

haha love this introduction!!!

[Cool King]

Here we go.

[ClockShot]

Let's see how this goes.

[Corndad]

Here comes another Jacket lol

[ClockShot]

Miss the countdown sound. :'(

[Cool King]

Holy shit, it took him 13 years, but Jericho now has images of himself in his Titantron.

[Corndad]

y2 zzzzzzzzzzzzzz LOL

[Blakeamus]

It was around the same time he got on last week...another ten minutes of trolling!!

[Hanso Amore]

Ugh, I love Jericho, but im over this already.

[Blakeamus]

He's getting teary eyed

[FearedSanctity]

Rating suicide

[Corndad]

Fake Tears = Ratings

[Damndirty]

Are you fucking serious!? I can see when stuff like this builds a character or gimmick... but ratings can't afford shit like this.

[Blakeamus]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Blakeamus]

Oh shut up about the fucking ratings and enjoy it as a wrestling fan

[Damndirty]

ALRIGHT DAMMIT! I'M GONNA START NAPPING THROUGH THIS SHIT!!!

[Shisen Kopf]

Woooooooo! Jericho crying!

[Dukelorange]

Chris always has a method to his madness... lets see how it unfolds... It will be worth it when he wrestles.

[Tb1]

That was absolutely fucking beautiful.

[Corndad]

You realize the first guy who comes out to confront Jericho about this is gonna be uber over.

[Mr. Pierre]

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.

[Dukelorange]

Did I miss the divas match?

[ClockShot]

A few extra drops of artifical tears would have done the trick.

[#1-norm-fan]

Are you fucking serious!? I can see when stuff like this builds a character or gimmick... but ratings can't afford shit like this.

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

[Emperor Smeat]

Troll Jericho strikes again.

Are you fucking serious!? I can see when stuff like this builds a character or gimmick... but ratings can't afford shit like this.

Ratings are going to bad this week regardless of the show because of the BCS title game being on tonight.

[#1-norm-fan]

Oh. And this just happened.

[Corndad]

Forgot about this match.

[ClockShot]

They're cutting the divas fucking close.

Ooooooooooooh. On second thought.

[Corndad]

Oh shit. Must be Eve's time of the month.

[el bobbo]

That's not gonna work Broski.

[Corndad]

Is Zach Ryder Changing a tire on Raw? The difference a year makes.

[ClockShot]

You gotta jack up the tire first, bro.

[Mr. Pierre]

Wow, who the fuck is writing for Ryder? Holy shit.

EDIT: Since TLC* I should say.

[Shisen Kopf]

This show kinda sucks.

[Theo Dious]

This show kinda sucks.

Fuck you, this show has been golden.

[DrCrawford]

so they thought percy wasnt worth the time to get over with his awesome gimmick, but fat brodus clay is? really?

the only way i'd like brodus is if percy and him become tag team partners. OH YEAH

[Dukelorange]

Well, at least Zach will get his date with Eve... this angle has an old school feel that I like... Im still pissed that my girl Naomi is doing this to get on Raw... but then again thats how Trish got her start... and we all know how that turned out...


Okay, I admit it, I have a thing for Naomi Night... does that make me a bad person?
