Raw Thread 23/01/12 - Get Fangel back into Wrestling

[El Fangel]

I have not actively watched a Raw in something like 5 years now and tonight I am looking to change that.

I will be tuning in when Raw is on and watching it while I post in this thread, Ill be asking questions to get myself refamiliazed with everything.

Can you help Fangel?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Zack Ryder and John Cena are the new Billy and Chuck

Kane is hiding behind doorways and spying on people

CM Punk is the best in the world

Raw is a Supershow that has Smackdown guys on it

Super Dave is the current GM with Teddy Long GMing it up on Smackdown, but comes out and makes matches on Raw now and again

Brodus Clay is the greatest thing ever for probably another 2 months before he gets stale to everyone

Sometimes tyres need to be changed and there will be segments highlighting this

Jericho is a mute

Foley wants to wrestle again

Bullying needs to stop through the B.A. * campaign

The Rock will not show up more than likely

Kofi urges you to not try anything anywhere

Michael Cole's commentary will probably put you off watching ever again

King is just as bad mind you

Mark Henry has another monster push and is still as monstrously boring as ever

Big Show cries a lot, literally

AJ is a diva who is injured because the Big Show walked into her, which stopped a match

R-Truth is hilarious now

[El Fangel]

You know, I had planned to get back into wrestling. That isn't helping...

[Jimmy Cones]

it's all true

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus, Wade Barrett and Cody Rhodes are all amazing right now though.

[El Fangel]

Sheamus and Wade Barrett I have heard a bit about. The other two, not so much.

You are very early for the 23rd February edition of RAW, but no time like the present.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

You are very early for the 23rd February edition of RAW, but no time like the present.

It's also odd that it's going out on a Thursday. Must be a Candadian thing.

[Mr. JL]

Well by Feb 23rd WWE will be doing their mega build towards WrestleMania...

-By that time the Undertaker should be back to build his streak to 20 and 0 at Mania.
-Randy Orton should be back in full swing.
-Rey Mysterio could possibly return from injury
-Triple H will be back so he has a spot at Mania.
-The Rock will be around from time to time to last minute promote his match against John Cena.
-Shawn Michaels is rumoured for a non-wrestling role at Mania.
-Christian should also be back from injury and will most likely have a good spot since he'll be inducting Edge into he Hall of Fame.
-Chris Jericho will hopefully be talking and wrestling by this time.
-Big Show versus Shaquille O'Neal should be building up
-Stone Cold usually comes back for his annual special guest refereee gig at Mania.
-Mick Foley is in the Rumble and could be at Mania.

So maybe you should just come back around Feb 23rd. Because if things are going to get interesting it will be then.

[Mr. JL]

Oopes sorry Hasney... I somehow missed ur post with the long list of stuff

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

Fangel will change the channel at the first sign of anything awful.

It's lucky he didn't choose Smackdown for this, because that point would've been the intro music.

[El Fangel]

I am determined to sit and watch it.

[Avenger]

Well, you have a month to decide.

[El Fangel]

No, I mean tonight's Raw. Not the one on the 23rd.

[Indifferent Clox]

Daniel Bryan is the best pure wrestler in wwe.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Daniel Bryan is the best pire wrestler in wwe.

He's the best pear (in Latin) wrestler?

Damn, he was good against humans, but I have to see this pear wrestling.

[XL]

So, at some point tonight we will be getting the obligatory "It's not as good as the Attitude Era was" comment.

[El Fangel]

That's pretty much a given.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

So, at some point tonight we will be getting the obligatory "It's not as good as the Attitude Era was" comment.

I'm up to July 1999 after starting after Wrestlemania 1997 and it is so glorious it hurts.

I have bad memories of the McMahon-Helmsley era though so we'll have to see how it holds up.

[El Fangel]

You watching all the old stuff in order Hasney?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Pretty much yeah.

Totally forgot Sunday Night Heat used to matter though so didn't download them. Will be grabbing Smackdown when it starts in September though (already had the pilot).

[Avenger]

No, I mean tonight's Raw. Not the one on the 23rd.

I don't understand, the topic title says February :?:

[Volare]

Being high helps bring back Kayfabe feelings. Trust me.

[Indifferent Clox]

This is the go home show for the rumble. It'll be amazing.

[#1-norm-fan]

Sheamus and Wade Barrett I have heard a bit about. The other two, not so much.

You're not aware of Cody Rhodes? Man, you really have avoided wrestling for a while.

Not so much because he's a megastar but because he's a Rhodes. And he's been with the company for quite a while now.

[Triple Naitch]

This isn't the week to start getting back into things. I'd watch Royal Rumble on Sunday and then pick up from there.

As for tonight, I see Foley threatening legal action against Johnny in order to get into the Rumble.

[St. Jimmy]

I hope you die. In real life.

[El Fangel]

You're not aware of Cody Rhodes? Man, you really have avoided wrestling for a while.

Not so much because he's a megastar but because he's a Rhodes. And he's been with the company for quite a while now.

I know who he and his father are, I just don't know his current situation in the WWE and don't even know if he is a face or a heel.

This isn't the week to start getting back into things. I'd watch Royal Rumble on Sunday and then pick up from there.

As for tonight, I see Foley threatening legal action against Johnny in order to get into the Rumble.

I would, but im not free sunday night.

I hope you die. In real life.

Just how exactly would I die in any other way?

[Xero]

On the internet.

In a video game.

On the inside.

[El Fangel]

I can't even articulate a fucking response to the above post.

[#1-norm-fan]

Were you really into it 5 years ago when you were watching? Or before that?

[El Fangel]

I was mostly into it from 1998-99 until about 2004 or 2005. The last thing I really remember from wrestling was Wrestlemania XX.

[#1-norm-fan]

Hmm. I've wondered what it would be like to just now start watching wrestling with no real history to go off of. Or to watch it after not watching for a few years and pick it up with no idea about any storylines or characters.

If you were into it then, I think the novelty of everything being new to you should be enough to make you enjoy it. Plus things seem to be on an uprise. There's some good stuff going on.

[Providence Peep]

I know who he and his father are, I just don't know his current situation in the WWE and don't even know if he is a face or a heel.

He's a very awesome heel. So is The Miz.

[El Fangel]

We will see in an hour and a half how I think the current product is.

[Corndad]

I think you will enjoy Heel Daniel Bryan. Be glad you haven't seen Face Bryan. He has had the amazing in ring ability but they actually now have direction for him. Heel Over-the-top Dick Daniel Bryan is entertaining as hell.

[#1-norm-fan]

I don't know who you will or won't enjoy since I don't know what exactly you look for or what you liked before.

CM Punk is a good bet though. He's the current WWE champ and is kinda "the" guy right now. He also looks like a fry cook.

[Xero]

From WWE's Facebook:

TONIGHT ON WWE Monday Night Raw: It's the return of Chris Jericho - WWE Universe's HIGHLIGHT REEL!! Raw is LIVE at the top of the hour, only on USA Network!
---
LOL, that should be good.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. Why did it seem like Punk started off this promo like he was getting Fallen Angel caught up on his current storyline?

[Savio]

lol @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Laurinaitis

[Blakeamus]

blah

[Blakeamus]

lol @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Laurinaitis

John Joseph Laurinaitis, Failure, (born July 31, 1965)[1] is a failure and the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations for WWE and appears on WWE's Raw brand as the interim General Manager. He is a winner. CM Punk believes he sucks at life.

:rofl:

[Immortal Moose]

lol punk's face

[Blakeamus]

Stealing the thunder, eh Cena?

[Innovator]

Punk been watching Steiner videos

[Blakeamus]

haha

[Immortal Moose]

TELL EM SWAGS!

[#1-norm-fan]

Tag match. Lauranaitis has been hanging out with Teddy Long too much.

[el bobbo]

Did Punk just get off of his Burger King shift?

[Immortal Moose]

Didn't even have time to take his shorts off

[Cool King]

lol punk's face

I was hoping someone else saw that.

I'm wanting a gif of that. :lol:

[#1-norm-fan]

Why does this thread seem kinda dead?

[ClockShot]

Hey guys. Sorry I'm late, had to run across town.

Somebody wanna sum up the first 20 minutes, please?

[Blakeamus]

And now the thread is ALIVE!

[El Fangel]

What the fuck, the show I am watching seems to be 15 mins behind all of you guys.

[Immortal Moose]

Punk wants Ace to say things to his face
Cena wants Kane and a rematch for Ryder
Ace makes this tag match instead

[#1-norm-fan]

Hey guys. Sorry I'm late, had to run across town.

Somebody wanna sum up the first 20 minutes, please?

This match was made...

[#1-norm-fan]

What the fuck, the show I am watching seems to be 15 mins behind all of you guys.

Are you watching an awful stream? lol

[El Fangel]

Does Laurenitis always sound like he is losing his voice?

[Inadequacy]

What the fuck, the show I am watching seems to be 15 mins behind all of you guys.

If you're watching on the score it's because they air it on a fifteen minute tape delay.

I guess they're contract only allows a certain mount of live broadcasting, and this is beter than being an hour behind.

[Immortal Moose]

yes, he does

[Corndad]

Does Laurenitis always sound like he is losing his voice?

Yes. Cena and Punk both do spot on impersonations as well.

[El Fangel]

Are you watching an awful stream? lol

No, I am watching it on the score.

[ClockShot]

Animal overnighted the shoulder pads.

YOU WATCH!

[El Fangel]

God that world title looks like something pulled out of a cereal box.

[el bobbo]

Johnny Ace gonna lace up the ol' boots.

[#1-norm-fan]

He's gonna assign Ziggler as the guest referee and Punk probably won't land a punch on Laurinaitis.

[El Fangel]

What happened between Swagger and Ryder last week?

[Inadequacy]

No, I am watching it on the score.

Called it

[ClockShot]

What happened between Swagger and Ryder last week?

Swagger won the US Title off him last week.

[Cool King]

No, I am watching it on the score.

From what I've heard, The Score receives Raw on a 15 minute delay.

[Rollermacka]

Ah, the first Highlight Reel of Jericho's return. I'm still interested in what there doing with him.

[Immortal Moose]

Ryder had been injured by Kane but Ace made a US champ match between them anyway and swagger dominated but it turned out Ryder wasn't cleared to compete.

[#1-norm-fan]

What happened between Swagger and Ryder last week?

Ryder was the US Champ, got attacked by Kane 2 weeks ago, had a match with Swagger for the title last week, Laurinaitis claimed he got the doctor's note saying Ryder was not fit to wrestle too late and Swagger pretty much squashed him.

[Immortal Moose]

I'm a bit hesitant to say he has to talk, never know

[Innovator]

JERICHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Innovator]

Ha, fans still cheering him.

[Corndad]

That freakin Jacket is ratings.

[#1-norm-fan]

Man, I thought they'd go with a little filler for the second segment. They're going all out early.

[ClockShot]

Jericho is going to talk. Either in sign language or in subtitles on the bottom of your screen.

Closed captioned for the hearing impaired, too.

[#1-norm-fan]

Ha, fans still cheering him.

He's Chris Fucking Jericho. I don't give a fuck what his current character consists of, I'd cheer him too.

[Cool King]

He's got a gun!

[Nicky Fives]

From what I've heard, The Score receives Raw on a 15 minute delay.

This is correct.....and airs a replay every Tuesday afternoon....

[Innovator]

Shoot the TV, CMON BABAY

[#1-norm-fan]

lol @ Cole waving his arms

[Corndad]

LOL This is awesome.

[Innovator]

WOOO They showed the title switch that never happened

[ClockShot]

Now this is the Jericho I remember.

[Malfeitor]

And now they start to boo.

[ClockShot]

WORDS!

HE HAS A VOICE!

[Emperor Smeat]

holy shit he actually spoke

:lol: Lawler's reaction

[Innovator]

WOOO HE TALKS

[Rollermacka]

Watching that video package, Jericho is no Millennium man. There is only one real Millennium Man...
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SfJXz59lXWg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[#1-norm-fan]

HE SPEAKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DirtyD]

Man, he must be friends with the mayans or something.

[Blakeamus]

Love that Cheetos Commercial

[Corndad]

God that was worth it.

[Swish]

Cole has just gone a notch up in my book

[Cool King]

Cole saying "Hey, we're on TV!" while waving his arms was great. :lol:

[El Fangel]

Punk is amazing.

[Rollermacka]

God that was worth it.

Totally worth the build up. That was even more EPIC than the debut of the Funkasauras

[#1-norm-fan]

Punk is amazing.

He's pretty money.

[Crimson]

Ok Jericho is my runner up to win the Rumble...at least final four

[Blakeamus]

I can't wait til someone breaks Rey's record.

[Eklipse]

They show the same Rumble package every single year...just with a different person talking.

[Blakeamus]

That % is fucking low.

[Crimson]

55% of Rumble winners have won the title

[Blakeamus]

I thought it would be a lot higher

[Crimson]

When they say ANYBODY is eligible to enter the Rumble..hasn't that always been the case

[Rollermacka]

Now, was the Warlord really the record holder? Check out the 95 Royal Rumble, I think Mo should have the 1 second record

[#1-norm-fan]

I don't get what is meant by "For the first time ever, every WWE superstar is eligible to enter..." So... current champions? That's the only people that weren't eligible before.

[Crimson]

#27 entrant in the Rumble has won the most- 4 times

[Juan]

#27 entrant in the Rumble has won the most- 4 times

Someone was paying attention :y:

[ClockShot]

Wasn't last year's rumble up to 35 people?

[Crimson]

Stating the facts for whoever isn't watching ;)

[Providence Peep]

I don't get what is meant by "For the first time ever, every WWE superstar is eligible to enter..." So... current champions? That's the only people that weren't eligible before.

In years past, only the Superstars who hadn't competed in previous matches on the PPV were eligible for the Royal Rumble match. This year, some of the Superstars who have their own matches will also be in the Rumble match.

[Innovator]

So Cena was just around gorilla...wouldn't Kane have to walk past him?

[Immortal Moose]

When they say ANYBODY is eligible to enter the Rumble..hasn't that always been the case

I guess world champs are eligible now? IDK

[Corndad]

I would say that stipulations lets Cena, Kane, Ziggler in the match too.

[#1-norm-fan]

This first hour has been PACKED. It's like all main event type segments up front. Not a lot of filler/random divas match/squash match.

[#1-norm-fan]

In years past, only the Superstars who hadn't competed in previous matches on the PPV were eligible for the Royal Rumble match. This year, some of the Superstars who have their own matches will also be in the Rumble match.

That's not true. Orton and Ziggler were in it last year after competing in title matches earlier in the night. And I'm pretty sure there has been guys who were in non-title matches compete in it before that.

[Providence Peep]

That's not true. Orton and Ziggler were in it last year after competing in title matches earlier in the night. And I'm pretty sure there has been guys who were in non-title matches compete in it before that.

But we're not supposed to remember any of that :D

[El Fangel]

Christ, Raw just isnt the same without JR calling it :(

[#1-norm-fan]

But we're not supposed to remember any of that :D

I was hoping against hope that there was actually a deeper meaning behind it :-\

[ClockShot]

So, uh. What's really up with Ryder. Is he due up for a vacation, in the doghouse, legit injured? I heard he was starting this program with Eve, but what's the reason behind it?

[Crimson]

I remember RAW used to be like this..with less filler and unpredictability around the attitude era

[Juan]

So, uh. What's really up with Ryder. Is he due up for a vacation, in the doghouse, legit injured? I heard he was starting this program with Eve, but what's the reason behind it?

His push was dialed back a bit due to that 6 man main event a few weeks that got the lowest rating since like 1997.

[Crimson]

I was hoping against hope that there was actually a deeper meaning behind it :-\

Maybe the return of Kharma at the Rumble:eek:

[MoFo]

So, uh. What's really up with Ryder. Is he due up for a vacation, in the doghouse, legit injured? I heard he was starting this program with Eve, but what's the reason behind it?


Has a bit-part in a film

[Crimson]

Ryder is my runner up to be the first one eliminated

[Juan]

I've never understood why they need that huge WWE logo statue out there. Seems unnecessary/excessive

[ClockShot]

His push was dialed back a bit due to that 6 man main event a few weeks that got the lowest rating since like 1997.

So out of the 6, he's the goat?

This is looking more like a punishment than a temporary hold.

[Innovator]

It's like a fake snuff film.

[DaveBrawl]

Wasn't last year's rumble up to 35 people?

40

[Juan]

oh snap

[el bobbo]

he killed him

[ClockShot]

Sweetheart, you're in heels. No way you gonna get far.

[DirtyD]

I bet she trips, typical monster movie.

[Juan]

So out of the 6, he's the goat?

This is looking more like a punishment than a temporary hold.

There was also a stretch of about 3 weeks after that match where Punk wasn't featured in the main event/last segment

[Juan]

lol Cena

[ClockShot]

IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, JOHN!

[El Fangel]

Raw normally isn't this entertaining is it.

[#1-norm-fan]

So, uh. What's really up with Ryder. Is he due up for a vacation, in the doghouse, legit injured? I heard he was starting this program with Eve, but what's the reason behind it?

He's in a program with John Cena and Kane. And he's got an integral part in it even if it does include him in the sympathy type role. He's doing fine.

[Corndad]

Maybe this will lead to Ryder/Kane at Mania after Ryder out a few weeks if they don't go with the whole Mask Idea w Kane

[Supreme Olajuwon]

are they strapping him in with masking tape

[Immortal Moose]

Raw normally isn't this entertaining is it.

Unfortunately no, this is a quite entertaining Raw

[Providence Peep]

are they strapping him in with masking tape

:lol:(legit)

[#1-norm-fan]

Raw normally isn't this entertaining is it.

It's been good lately. But you did pick a good week to tune in. This is a pretty spectacular Raw so far. Especially for the "let's just get in that last bit of hype for the Rumble" episode.

[ClockShot]

YEA! ORTON'S BACK!

[El Fangel]

Im going to lay on the couch and watch this. Be back after its over.

[#1-norm-fan]

Maybe this will lead to Ryder/Kane at Mania after Ryder out a few weeks if they don't go with the whole Mask Idea w Kane

I'd love a good Ryder vs Kane David/Goliath match at WM.

[Corndad]

I can't flipping wait for the Rumble Sunday.

[#1-norm-fan]

That ref was totally just feeling up Ryder's cock.

[ClockShot]

Jeez. Just cut a hole in the roof and bring a crane in if it takes them this long to get him out of the hole. About another 10 minutes to get to the ambulance.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Kane is out of control, you guise. I dunno how Cena is gonna stop him at the Rumble.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Jeez. Just cut a hole in the roof and bring a crane in if it takes them this long to get him out of the hole. About another 10 minutes to get to the ambulance.

It's intentionally long so you understand the severity of the injury. Like when the New Age Outlaws pushed Foley and Funk off the stage in the dumpster.

[Crimson]

Eve spoke. god she's hot

[Corndad]

It's YOUR FAULT Cena!

[Juan]

lol what is going on with Josh Mathews' hair?

[#1-norm-fan]

Hmm. I didn't see Eve blaming Cena coming.

[Juan]

lol Cena

[Crimson]

lol Cena

[el bobbo]

Eve is rather chesty. She's better in this role than at wrestling by far.

[ClockShot]

It's intentionally long so you understand the severity of the injury. Like when the New Age Outlaws pushed Foley and Funk off the stage in the dumpster.

I know. :(

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I know. :(

That's right you do.

[Providence Peep]

CENA IS CONSTIPATED.

[Emperor Smeat]

Cena's just upset that his plan to get Eve was foiled again.

The setup was perfect considering he wanted Ryder to wrestle tonight even though he's hurt and then used some reverse psychology so that Laurinaitis would put Kane against Ryder. Then waits until after Ryder falls into a hole to attempt to get Eve and pretend to scare off Kane.

:shifty:

[Innovator]

Either constipated or he is incontinent.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. Angry Cena being a dick to the poor announcer.

It really seems like they're figuring the Cena character out... he's becoming all around likable. Intimidating Cena is the way to go. Especially when he's giving a monster-esque look to the camera.

[#1-norm-fan]

I wish they would have come back from commercial with a somber report on the condition of Josh Matthews.

[Juan]

Jesus, how many times are we gonna see this same match?

[Corndad]

Sheamus has to be in the last 4 come Sunday.

[Cool King]

http://oi42.tinypic.com/209h7hv.jpg

CENA IS WATCHING YOU MASTURBATE

[Innovator]

Crowd is happy to see Sheamus after an attempted murder.

[Corndad]

I wish they would have come back from commercial with a somber report on the condition of Josh Matthews.

:rofl: That would have been god damn epic.

[ClockShot]

Barrett in regular street clothes yet brings out the oversized jacket to boot.

[Juan]

Barrett and Mahal team up on Sheamus, Orton makes the save

[Providence Peep]

I could REALLY go for one of these right now.

http://pwtorch.com/artman2/uploads/1/icecream.jpg

[Juan]

Damn, I really thought there'd be an Orton sighting

"IT'S FLEISCHER!"

[DirtyD]

I hoped R-Truth would have said, "Miz, #1 person to have the most spray tans"

[Cool King]

"IN DA HOUSE!"

[#1-norm-fan]

YES! So glad they warned me before the break. I need 3 minutes minimum to prepare to get funky.

[el bobbo]

FUNK

[Providence Peep]

Anyone think The Sheepherders/Bushwackers will accompany Johnny to the ring tonight?

http://www.jrsbarbq.com/files/images/JR32.jpg

"Bloody lovely! Tell your mutha!"

[#1-norm-fan]

So we aren't gonna have that "who's it gonna be!?" moment after "It is now time for the contestant who drew number one... ... ..." :-/

[El Fangel]

Kane/Ryder wasn't bad. Definitely like seeing Cena made out to be the sort of bad guy.

[Cool King]

REGAL!

[#1-norm-fan]

REGALLLLL!

[ClockShot]

FUNK-A-SAURUS *clap clap clapclapclap*

[Corndad]

Highlight of my Week.

[Rollermacka]

Who the hell was that announcing?

[Juan]

He should never take that track suit off. Ever

[ClockShot]

Poor Slater.

[Corndad]

Heath Slater, Jobber.

[DirtyD]

Heath Slater's body shape just weirds me out

[el bobbo]

It's like a walrus giving birth.

[Corndad]

I love he calls every move he does. Cracks me up every time.

[Immortal Moose]

WWE_Creative WWE Creative
"Four hundred pounds of raw septic tripe." It's reasons like this we keep @RealKingRegal around #RAWTonight

[Cool King]

White is quite slimming for Brodus.

[Juan]

Heath Slater's body shape just weirds me out

I feel the same way about Clay

[Providence Peep]

Did Clay learn his dance moves from Akeem?

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

[#1-norm-fan]

Considering what Jericho said tonight and considering how much they're drilling home that point of "Every superstar is eligible", I'm thinking Punk finds a way to beat Ziggler only for Laurinaitis to say that he has to defend his title again immediately. Jericho comes out and wins the title from Punk. Punk then enters the Rumble and wins it.

Possibly.

[James Steele]

They are pushing Punk/Laurinitus way too hard. It'd be one thing if he was a WWE Legend, but he has only been known in mainstream American wrestling since June.

[Juan]

That final two with Taker and HBK was awesome

[Corndad]

LOL at Truth's shirt

[Corndad]

King did you not watch that Rumble package earlier? Yes someone at #1 has won before.

[el bobbo]

They just acknowledged Benoit's Royal Rumble win.

[DirtyD]

They are pushing Punk/Laurinitus way too hard. It'd be one thing if he was a WWE Legend, but he has only been known in mainstream American wrestling since June.

But he is the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and Interim Raw General Manager

[Providence Peep]

They just acknowledged Benoit's Royal Rumble win.

Who's Benoit? :shifty:

[#1-norm-fan]

If you count the first 2 spots as the same (And really, they basically are since they start at the same time) then that spot is actually tied for producing the most winners. That really should not be the case. lol

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Beyond obvious that Laurinatiris isn't going to wrestle since they're almost out of time.</font> :(

[DirtyD]

Lawler "Remember I was in the rumble for a long time"
Cole "Cause you hid under the ring"

lol @ the way Lawler said that. I was half expecting: "We just got word on the condition of Zack Ryder and I'm afraid the news could not be worse. Zack Ryder... is dead."

Hmmmm. I see Kane breaking Ryder's back in that picture. Don't know what you see.

[DrCrawford]

its his phone bill. he went way over his data plan playing too much words with friends

PS - the ryder shit is lame. for it to even make sense in kayfabe he wont be wrestling for a while...way to kill his momentum. unless its a swerve

There is nothing implausible about a doctor diagnosing @ZackRyder with a broken back in under an hour. Just put some tape on it #RAWTonight

yeah people who return from injury never have any momentum

[Cool King]

lol @ the way Lawler said that. I was half expecting: "We just got word on the condition of Zack Ryder and I'm afraid the news could not be worse. Zack Ryder... is dead."

Same here

[Dukelorange]

Dang how are they going to write Zach back in and still be realistic... a broken back? Really?

Ryder is in cahoots with Kane!!!!!!!!!!

[DrCrawford]

ill agree with you when it comes to people who are already stars...but mid card?

[Providence Peep]

Do you guys think Ryder's injury is as bad as Marty Garner's was?

On the June 1, 1996 edition of WWF Superstars, Triple H took on jobber Marty Garner in a squash match. Trips botched the Pedigree when there was miscommunication between him and Garner.

WWE and Make a Wish pictures make me feel like crap.

Yeah, no way Ryder's back is broken. Gotta be some sort of setup. Ryder, Eve, Kane. They're all in on it. They're doing this to force Cena to embrace the hate and get mad. It's gonna be like the end of Anger Management.
