Official WWE RAW SuperShow Thread for 4/30/2012: Burning Money, Or Cena Isn't Here-Oh, He Is? Well... Shit...

[Gone Mad]

Kane vs. Khali....

IT'S NAPPING TIME!!!

[KaosDarksol]

Great orton's time isn't getting beat yet

[Corndad]

Kofi does deserve that title back. Wasn't his fault Bourne was a turd.

[Rock Bottom]

Kofi does deserve that title back. Wasn't his fault Bourne was a turd.

That's true. I think Kofi needs to slow down in the ring though because he looks sloppy.

[Fignuts]

What's with the michael phelps commercial? The english don't care about michael phelps.

[DirtyD]

WWE Creative ‏ @WWE_Creative
It's Khali vs. Kane, assuming The Great Khali can make it down that hallway without blowing up #RAWTonight

[Keith]

Unless they have something unexpected for this Khali/Kane match, it shouldn't be very good.

[Juan]

[Immortal Moose]

OK then...

[Fignuts]

lol khali getting down

[CSL]

god bless Great Khali, he tries his oversized heart out

[Corndad]

I could see a Kane/Punk match

[KaosDarksol]

I'm still expecting a heel to face punk so I'm guessing batista will come back and kill somebody

[McLegend]

I think Kane could beat the clock here.

[Fignuts]

lol that ddt

[Crimson]

I'm still expecting a heel to face punk so I'm guessing batista will come back and kill somebody

He might actually make the most sense right now to face Punk

So quiet you can hear a pin drop.

[Corndad]

Well so much for that.

[ClockShot]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[Gone Mad]

MOTY Candidate.

[CSL]

what is all of this Batista talk

[GSP]

god bless Great Khali, he tries his oversized heart out

He really does. A lot harder than some of the current super stars.

[CSL]

nice acting Randall

[Fignuts]

Lord Tensai

[Rock Bottom]

No Dolph :o

[Tazz Dan]

Danielson. YES! YES! YES!

[Juan]

Punk vs Bryan????? Yes plz

[DrCrawford]

i would love to see danielson/punk or ziggler/punk

orton can go fuck off

[Fignuts]

lol batista

some of you are high right now

[Gone Mad]

Yes Lock vs. Anaconda Vice.

It's gonna happen.

[Tazz Dan]

what is all of this Batista talk

He's 'rumoured' to have something big happening soon. I doubt he's returning though.

[Immortal Moose]

Punk vs Bryan????? Yes plz

I don't think the internet could handle the collective orgasm from that.

[Fignuts]

don't think it will be danielson

[Keith]

god bless Great Khali, he tries his oversized heart out

He at least tries harder than Giant Gonzalez ever did. But let's face it, with his size and his body structure, there's not much he can do.

[Juan]

Was that Duffy I just saw in that Capitol.fm commercial?

[Tazz Dan]

lol batista

some of you are high right now

KaosDarksol seems to have a real liking for him.

[CSL]

[Rock Bottom]

I kinda want to see Punk vs. Orton again, actually. They had a lot of matches before where Punk made Orton look like a million bucks. Now Punk isn't a jobber using his mic skills to get everyone else over anymore. It'd be a different dynamic. As much as people don't like Orton, he's still one of the best in the company right now IMO. Guy needs something cool to do. Heel turn would be great.

[Keith]

I don't think the internet could handle the collective orgasm from that.

I don't know if WWE would have that match happen at Over The Limit. With how over they both are, it should be at one of the "big four" PPV's. But who knows.

[Crimson]

lol..I

[Tazz Dan]

He at least tries harder than Giant Gonzalez ever did. But let's face it, with his size and his body structure, there's not much he can do.

That's a joke right?

[GSP]

Ziggler ends his over selling tonight and wins the beat the clock.

Ziggler vs Punk. Calling it.

[Crimson]

sense some sarcasm there

[Juan]

What match did they announce for SD?

[Corndad]

No lie. I made had to be 30 yes Signs for Raw in 2 weeks

[Fignuts]

think my stream is slow

that or sky sports

[Innovator]

LOL, Bryans winning

[Juan]

lol oh god

[Crimson]

YES..this just seals it for Bryan

[Tazz Dan]

Haha the fuck?

[dronepool]

Oh wow..

[ClockShot]

Da King?

Shocker.

[Immortal Moose]

Hmmm I'm guessing DB gets the shot.

[Gone Mad]

KING VS. PUNK. OVER THE LIMIT.

CALLING IT.

[KaosDarksol]

I'm still expecting a heel to face punk so I'm guessing batista will come back and kill somebody

Wait did I actually write that? Oh yeah i did.

[ClockShot]

Then again, watch Lawler do the unthinkable and win/let the clock run out.

[KaosDarksol]

What match did they announce for SD?

Bryan vs kane

[CSL]

some really audible calls tonight

[dronepool]

YES!!!

[Immortal Moose]

I still wanted to see Jericho/Punk go for a little longer but I'm all for a Bryan/Punk feud. :D

[Innovator]

WOOOOOOO BRYAN PUNK!

[Tazz Dan]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[el bobbo]

YES!

[DrCrawford]

YES

[Corndad]

Punk vs Bryan. I just ordered Over the Limit.

[Emperor Smeat]

YES! YES! YES!

Punk vs Bryan as a real feud is going to be amazing considering their last set of matches were great

[St. Jimmy]

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

[Crimson]

Thinking of ordering the next ppv now..the match alone might be worth it

[KaosDarksol]

NO!!!

[ClockShot]

Ah well.

You gotta wonder if they're gonna do the draft pretty soon now because of this.

[Immortal Moose]

http://i.imgur.com/oXo9x.gif

[Fignuts]

so much for bryan being taken out of the title picture

[Rock Bottom]

Good move by the WWE. Set up a good title picture with what will be a great match without really hurting any of their talent.

[DirtyD]

Punk vs. Bryan? YES! YES! YES!

[Gone Mad]

SI! SI! SI! SI! SI!!!!

[Rock Bottom]

I like the idea of Lawler wrestling, TBH. Had kind of a Barry Horrowitz feeling to it.

[McLegend]

YES!

[Malfeitor]

YES!

I just might order the PPV now.

[GSP]

Disappointed no Ziggler in that.

[Juan]

Good thing they're gonna give us Punk/Bryan on PPV. Not really looking forward to Cena vs. Albert

[Innovator]

ROH will release a commemorative DVD with all Dragon/Punk matches tomorrow.

[Immortal Moose]

I don't think the internet could handle the collective orgasm from that.

I guess it'll have to lol

[St. Jimmy]

Over the Limit is now not a waste of time. Exciting.

[CSL]

that's CM Punk vs. Bryan Danielson on PPV for the same title held by Hogan, Austin, Rock, Bruno, Flair etc

will now make it my life's work to set fire to every single whiny indy worshipping bell-piece that complains their little virgin balls off about WWE from this moment on for all of eternity

[Fignuts]

haters be hatin on the a train

[dronepool]

Can't wait to see what Gertner says.

[CSL]

Over the Limit is now not a waste of time. Exciting.

I think you need a hug, bless your little cotton socks

[St. Jimmy]

Flair, Hogan, Austin, Rock, Bruno never held the spinner belt. You're such a fucking mark.

[wolfman]

im with dronepool on that haha

[Keith]

During Lesnar's prior run, did he ever feud with Triple H?

[CSL]

Flair, Hogan, Austin, Rock, Bruno never held the spinner belt. You're such a fucking mark.

1. clearly talking about lineage

2. your ignore button appears to be broken sweetheart

[CSL]

bless you for trying so hard though you big super-villain you

[GSP]

Real screaming n cheering?

[Corndad]

This is the most faceness Cena has had in a long time.

[DirtyD]

No tear except for the one in his vagina

[Immortal Moose]

This is the most faceness Cena has had in a long time.

Crowd really seems into him.

[Corndad]

Zeus Reference lol

[Keith]

Cena holding the mic with the arm that's in a sling.

[Fignuts]

lol nice johnny ace impression

[Immortal Moose]

Just noticed the Dean Ambrose sign :y:

[KaosDarksol]

Who is this guy getting cheered it looks like cena but I don't hear many boos must be a crowd of nothing but kids

[Fignuts]

cena is killing it right now

[Immortal Moose]

Jumped the gun a bit

[St. Jimmy]

Music Guy just got Fired.

[dronepool]

Superman vs Shredder.

[el bobbo]

No one gives a god damn.

[Corndad]

Way to jump the gun Sound and Music guy.

[DrCrawford]

snore

[DirtyD]

Tensai? thats gay

corrected: Ace? YES! YES! YES!

[ClockShot]

Little quick on the music, mr. dj.

[Fignuts]

lol botched audio cue

[PullMyFinger]

From Lesnar to this? LOL LOL LOL

[PullMyFinger]

LMAO @ laurinitis

[dronepool]

Wait what?

[Immortal Moose]

HOLY FUCKING SWERVE

[St. Jimmy]

LE SWERVE.

[Keith]

If people keep attacking John Cena like this, he's going to keep getting cheered.

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

Ace's likeability stock just jumped 100 points.

[Corndad]

What the Hell LOL

[el bobbo]

Johnny Ace!

[Juan]

Ok, they got me with that one.

[Immortal Moose]

lmao

[Tazz Dan]

haha

[DrCrawford]

somehow i much prefer that to tensai haha

[KaosDarksol]

Cena vs big Johnny is somehow better than cena vs tensai

[PullMyFinger]

LMAO Johnny is the man

[Malfeitor]

SWERVE!

[Fignuts]

awesome swerve

[Juan]

If people keep attacking John Cena like this, he's going to keep getting cheered.

I think that's the point, champ.

[KaosDarksol]

And now Johnny ace has snapped and become a bad ass submission machine

[Frank Drebin]

Tensai in the ring: "ssssssssssssssss, ssssssssssssssssss, ssssssssssssssss."

[Gone Mad]

Clever girl, WWE.

BTW funny Cole is a kind of a face again, isn't he?

[Keith]

Haha WWE had us all fooled with Cena's "injury" and his post-match promo.

They got us.

[Immortal Moose]

This is great lol

[Rock Bottom]

Johnny Ace with a Van Daminator woulda been better

[CSL]

how the shit is he going to grow a mullet in 3 weeks?

[Tazz Dan]

You can't see me lol

[Corndad]

Unexpected stuff to end Raw. Love it.

[St. Jimmy]

this needs 100% more ACE CUTTER.

[Rock Bottom]

I am legit routing for John Cena. they finally found a way.

[Gonzo]

What was the swerve? I missed it.

[St. Jimmy]

Still terrible booking. Fucking awful. Punk vs Bryan is great, but the rest of the show is flaming POO POO.

[Immortal Moose]

Clever girl, WWE.

BTW funny Cole is a kind of a face again, isn't he?

Well he's definitely improved as of lately.

[Droford]

the swerve was you're getting DB vs Punk..and Johnny vs John

[Keith]

I think that's the point, champ.

Definitely. I mean that we won't hear many boos for Cena, which is interesting since for the longest time they couldn't get the crowd behind him 100%. WWE throwing swerves at us, giving us good PPV's, the fans cheering for Cena, Michael Cole not being annoying, what's going on?

[Immortal Moose]

Punk vs. Bryan plus an awesome start and awesome end :D

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Huh. That was pretty awesome.

Johnny looked pretty fluid in that attack too. Maybe he's still got something in the tank.

[St. Jimmy]

[Sepholio]

Was totally expecting Lesnar under the Tensai costume for some reason. Wtf is going on? I'm more interested in WWE than I have been in a long time now.

[Corndad]

Brock came off as a monster. Setting up a HHH-Brock match, probably at SummerSlam. Punk-Bryan to look forward too. Unexpected stuff with Johnny and Cena. God I'm glad I got good seats for Raw in 2 weeks lol I knew would be a great investment.

[Frank Drebin]

Still terrible booking. Fucking awful. Punk vs Bryan is great, but the rest of the show is flaming POO POO.

Not really sure what you were looking for.....it was a perfectly good show tonight.

[Emperor Smeat]

Nice swerve at the end and I guess Cena really wasn't seriously injured last night although him and the WWE sold it pretty well.

Good Raw and really looking forward to the Punk vs Bryan feud for the next couple of weeks.

WWE posted the video of the Bellas getting fired
http://www.wwe.com/videos/wwecom-exclusive-the-bella-twins-are-fired-by-eve-26019138
:lol: budget cuts

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Still terrible booking. Fucking awful. Punk vs Bryan is great, but the rest of the show is flaming POO POO.

aww you're so angry and chubby :love:

[Tazz Dan]

Fuck I love Jimmy lol

[Keith]

During Brock Lesnar's prior run in WWE, did he and Triple H ever feud? Or just wrestle each other?

[Frank Drebin]

Only thing the show could have used was a Kharma return. Guess no Bellas squash now.

[Dukelorange]

You know who I feel sorry for... David Otunga. He would have gotten some good rubs with this angle. But he's gotta take care of his family. I'm praying for ya...

[Sepholio]

Laugh if the real swerve is that Brock really is gone.

[Savio]

During Brock Lesnar's prior run in WWE, did he and Triple H ever feud? Or just wrestle each other?
A triple threat in england.

[Keith]

A triple threat in england.

Thank you

[RGWhat316]

Love Punk/Bryan getting booked. And even though I like Punk's feuds this year, they never really did finish the feud with Johnny Ace, but now Cena has stepped into that role. Should be interesting now.

[owenbrown]

Guess after Over The Limit the TPWW servers are gonna be fucked until next year

[Volare]

And on this night, every basement living mark lost their virginity to their hand.

[Skippord]

how good is John Cena's Johnny Ace impression?

[Skippord]

The Over Limit

how terrible is Johnny Ace's impression of a competent speaker?

[Rammsteinmad]

A triple threat in england.

Actually, it was in Austrailia. :cool:

[Rammsteinmad]

Kinda sad that four guys came out to help Triple H, but when Cena was being destroyed nobody came to help him. :(

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Does anybody else think of Kimona Wannalaya when they say Kimora?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Kinda sad that four guys came out to help Triple H, but when Cena was being destroyed nobody came to help him. :(

R-Truth holding Triple H's arm. Little Jimmy must be a doctor or an EMT.

[Tazz Dan]

Actually, it was in Austrailia. :cool:

Global Warming Tour! They left Tasmania off the map of Australia on the poster :'(

[ClockShot]

Not a bad Raw last night. I was kinda expecting Brock to be snuck back into the building and be Cena's opponet at Over the Limit. But Tensai was the next best thing, of course.

Sakamoto looks like he could hold his own in a fight. Maybe a few hous of watching Tajiri matches can make him improve.

But Johnny Ace, man. About damn time.

[Innovator]

Cena does have a good Ace impression. And you know Shane Douglas is blowing up Stamford phones trying to back his old partner.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Cena does have a good Ace impression. And you know Shane Douglas is blowing up Stamford phones trying to back his old partner.

That's like saying somebody has a good Shatner impression. It's not that hard.

[DLVH84]

ACE CRUSHER!!!

[Keith]

The thing about John Laurinaitis is that he's not some guy who has never been in the ring before, who's stiff and can't wrestle (like Vince McMahon). The guy can actually go, which will be interesting to see.

[DLVH84]

I wonder if he's going to work off 12 years worth of ring rust.

[Keith]

He's probably been training in the ring, or at the very least, will do so.

[Malfeitor]

Kinda sad that four guys came out to help Triple H, but when Cena was being destroyed nobody came to help him. :(

Cena has to RISE ABOVE HATE and OVERCOME THE ODDS.

[Triple Naitch]

how good is John Cena's Johnny Ace impression?

Damn good.

[Rock Bottom]

Johnny Ace would be one of the most legit guys ever in my book, if he can actually help Cena out here and get him a little more over again. It wouldn't exactly be like McMahon with Austin but it's not bad so far. Johnny actually getting physical in the ring opens up a lot more than just Cena storylines as well. This is a really good move that's been long overdue.

[mhirn3]

Idk if any of you guys went last night like I did, but wow is Nutter Center a shithole. Seriously....there is nothing good about that place and how they ever got monday night raw again blows my mind.

Decent show, was walking thru the hallway to try and get a beverage and Jericho's pyro went off right in front of us and scared the shit out of me, I jumped 3 feet in the air.

Post show Punk/Jericho was at least interesting, even though they really didn't do a damn thing in the "match". Punk kissed a bunch of ugly chicks on his way out, was pretty funny.

Got to see Dean Ambrose work, was happy about that....huge Jon Moxley fan.

Headed off to Smackdown in Toledo.

[Team Sheep]

Kind of glad Cole's not a heel any more. He was a lot more refreshing last night being impartial and professional.

[Innovator]

Dare I say (dare dare), Cole has been good last the two nights.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I wouldn't go as far as good, but he's one hell of a lot more tolerable when he's not yelling things just to be a heel with horrible delivery.

[Tommy Gunn]

Why the hell were Smackdown guys in the World title picture getting WWE title contender shots on Raw? Is there a title merge on the horizon?

[XL]

Probably not. There is, however, supposed to be a draft, which is quite laughable.
