via: WWE.COM
Triple H is coming back on Raw SuperShow this Monday … but is he really coming back? Obviously yes, in the sense that the WWE Chief Operating Officer will physically be in Pittsburgh's Consol Energy Center after a short absence from the squared circle. But what about The Game? Will he be back – as in, will he be himself? If and when he next steps inside the ring as a competitor, can he maintain the level of competition that raised him to the status of “The King of Kings,” and strike terror into the hearts of his enemies? Simply put, when Triple H comes back, will he still be Triple H?

The Game has, technically speaking, bounced back from injuries that may have been as serious the broken left arm and torn ligaments and tendons levied on him by Brock Lesnar two weeks earlier – two torn quadriceps come to the forefront of most people’s minds. Each time, he returned stronger than ever, capturing championships, Royal Rumble Match victories and everything in between.There is something to be said for the fact, however, that those were accidental, or at least unforeseen instances that occurred in the heat of battle. What Lesnar did was more impactful than the previous injuries because of the way the former UFC Heavyweight Champion maliciously bent The Game to his will in a way the future Hall of Famer and now COO has never experienced before (if you're curious as to just how painful Lesnar's Kimura Lock is, take it from one of the greatest fighting families of all time: it is as devastating a maneuver as there is).

It’s easy to understand the concern of some that, while Triple H may physically recover, he’ll have trouble shaking the mental aftereffects of the attack. True, he will not be himself on Raw SuperShow this Monday, but that’s because physically he can’t be. The Game won’t level Lesnar with a Pedigree or swing his sledgehammer at his attacker because a) Lesnar quit WWE last Monday and, more importantly, b) he is physically unable to do so. Triple H will have obstacles to overcome beyond the physical rehabilitation process.

Mentally, he will have to overcome replaying the bone-snapping attack in his mind, the way ut has been replayed on WWE television around the globe. It’s likely the memory of Lesnar’s intentional assault will linger with him for some time, and this is the point where the aftershock is the strongest. Triple H will be at Raw SuperShow Monday, but he will be more vulnerable, in all senses of the word, than we’re used to seeing him.

That stated, this is Triple H. He has never been held down, nor has he ever been denied. Can he recover in every sense from Lesnar’s attack? Hopefully for the WWE Universe, yes.

Just not this week.


A-K-A, yes, I'm too lazy to come up with a catchy introduction to this thread.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Early much?

[Big Vic]

Redo the title

[St. Jimmy]

Title sucks.

[James Steele]

This will be the highest rated RAW ever this week.

[MoFo]

Will watch for HHH.

However if he doesn't bring Bieber and 50 Cent to the ring with him I will turn off like last wk.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Redo the title

Title sucks.

Yeah, it's too wordy. Try something shorter, like "GAME BACK ON" or something...

[Ermaximus]

"The Game Doesn't Need the Konami Code to Win" or "SuperCena and Friends Fall to the Ace in the Hole."

[MisterLee]

Ok..someone suggest a better topic..the 3rd person to respond with one will win. lol

Official WWE Raw Thread 5/14/2012: Operation Look for Corndad's Million Yes Signs lol

On my way out the door now to head down to the show. Should be a good one. Hopefully.

Opposite the Camera side on the lower level so got a chance to get the TPWW sign some on air love tonight.

Curious how Cena is affected by the personal life stuff when working. A lot of the live shows over the weekend reported he was out of it, understandably.

Looking forward to some Bryan/Punk goodness tonight and hoping for another Paul E. appearance during the HHH stuff.

Also be on the look out for a guy on the side of the ramp who looks like Hulk Hogan. He's known for hilarious signs for Pens games and heard he has a few up his sleeve for tonight.

[Shadrick]

It would be dope if Laurinitis went after everyone who helped HHH up in some capacity. A push for Kofi = YES! from me.

[MisterLee]

Hm..how do you change the Thread Title?

Click the title you posted on the wrestling forum page. You can then edit the title.

Wont allow me to.

[Ermaximus]

It's your thread so I don't see why it wouldn't. Double click it from the wrestling forum page.

Since that won't work, then just click the edit button on the first post then click the go advanced button and edit the title there.

[MisterLee]

Yup-I figured it out. Had to go to advanced options!

[St. Jimmy]

Somehow even worse Title.

What's your favorite flavor? Ehh, I probably aint gotta ask-they're all your favorite.

[Dukelorange]

I wonder if Zack Ryder will get a win on Raw for his birthday...

[Tazz Dan]

How long till Raw starts?

[Tazz Dan]

I wonder if Zack Ryder will get a win on Raw for his birthday...

Doubt he'll even be on Raw :-\

[Tazz Dan]

Also, I think we should go with CSL's title.

[Dukelorange]

Doubt he'll even be on Raw :-\

Kinda miffed about that being that I enjoy his work since the beginning. I also enjoyed Cryme Tyme, so take it for what it's worth.

[Tazz Dan]

Mate, I'm Ryder's biggest fan around these joints, but even I can see they won't do anything special for him.

[St. Jimmy]

This thread should be about three things: CM Punk vs. Bryan Danielson, PAUL FUCKING HEYMAN, and Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar. That's what Raw is being booked around.

[CSL]

and Beatles choruses

[RKO'em]

The only thing that can save whatever HHH is going to say tonight is heyman

[TSI]

This thread should be about three things: CM Punk vs. Bryan Danielson, PAUL FUCKING HEYMAN, and Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar. That's what Raw is being booked around.


yeah, that sums it up pretty much.

[Gertner]

Pretty much why Raw will score a 2.8 this week

[Dukelorange]

Mate, I'm Ryder's biggest fan around these joints, but even I can see they won't do anything special for him.

I won't argue either point. I spread myself too many TV shows, net shows, obscure 80s cartoons, old TI games, Lego games, and Marching Bands too follow Ryder like I would want too. Heck I would like to take a pic with him and tell him I'm impressed how he put himself where he wanted to be by being self innovative... That's about it.

[ClockShot]

Thread title got changed again?

Why?

[CSL]

because it's a beautiful thread title

[ClockShot]

Oh, okay.

Carry on then.

[CSL]

it's like Bambi sipping from a stream with a Ludovico Einudi soundtrack

[Malfeitor]

Wrestling is fake sign. Haha.

[erickman]

bringing up flair again

[ClockShot]

Anybody on the lookout for Corndad?

[ClockShot]

Pauly's back for another week and the crowd is still dead.

[Malfeitor]

Heyman is gold.

[Crimson]

Nice promos by both men. Heyman should just replace Lauranitis all together, how much better would that be

[Droford]

no ones digging raw tonight I see

[ClockShot]

I'm around. No one else isn't by the looks of it.

[Dukelorange]

Hey twitter users, did you notice that there is a TNA Creative bagging on WWE Creative? Which came first and why is the TNA posting about WWE? WWE doesn't do it or at least nearly as much as TNA is...

[Emperor Smeat]

Both are parody accounts and probably even the same person doing both tweets

[Cool King]

The matter with those people that tweet, is that they tweet.

[Droford]

are we going to unify the US/IC belts again?

[Dukelorange]

Both are parody accounts and probably even the same person doing both tweets

Thanks for the information

[Droford]

th eGTS should be for Get to Steppin

[ClockShot]

Kinda hoping Cole or Lawler let slip he's getting divorced.

[Droford]

Instead of the RAW diva search they should have the John Cena Wife Search

[Fignuts]

John Cena obviously has no christian values.

[Cool King]

Ryder wins.

[Cool King]

Otunga is back!

[Droford]

Nougat's back

[ClockShot]

Otunga made it back.

[ClockShot]

I probably would have taken an extra week, IMO.

[Dukelorange]

Ryder wins.

Who did he beat?

[RawRocks]

Someone should grab that phone out of Johnny Ace's hands and blow it up.

[KIRA]

That first mask is so goofy

[Cool King]

lol, Laurinaitis turning around to King.

[Cool King]

Who did he beat?

It's my speculation for his match at Over The Limit against Kane.

[ClockShot]

Really?

[Fignuts]

lol chokeslam

[Malfeitor]

Worst choke slam ever?

[DaVe]

lol looked like Show slipped/fell before Kane could grab him

[ClockShot]

That episode from South Park with Randy and Jesse Jackson is running through my head right now.

[KIRA]

So Gertner these are the types of wrestlers you like huh? Cause this match is nowhere near as exciting as CM Punk/Santino vs Rhodes/Bryan was.

[KIRA]

lol, Laurinaitis turning around to King. My thoughts

[Droford]

this has to be the most boring RAW in like 2 or 3 years

[Fignuts]

God, show is such a crybaby. Always with the waterworks, this guy.

[Malfeitor]

"Fuck him up, Big Show. Fuck him up!" If only.

[RawRocks]

this is stupid.

[ClockShot]

Got bad feeling his knees are gonna explode if he goes down.

[Droford]

Big show takes out Johnny..= Mystery Opponent for Cena this Sunday

or..not

[Keith]

This is why I can't buy Big Show as a credible monster. Look at him whimpering.

[Droford]

ROFL all that for that

[KIRA]

And....BOOM! there go his kneecaps poor bastards never had a prayer.

[RawRocks]

I dont care if its a work or not... Johnny Ace needs to get off TV.

[Innovator]

So the board of directors should be suspending johnny any moment now...if there was continuity.

[Droford]

Johnny has them in his back pocket

[ClockShot]

Either Big Show is really hot or that arena is ice cold if you can see steam coming off him.

[Droford]

this sad moment is now interupted by the fatass that can't wrestle

[RawRocks]

How the FUCK do you transition from that to this Brodus Clay bullshit?

[KIRA]

So the board of directors should be suspending johnny any moment now...if there was continuity.


:rofl:continuity in WWE :lol

[Keith]

For some reason, sometimes when I see the 2 girls dancing with Brodus I kinda expect them to turn on him. Like they're going to low-blow him or something.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I bet Johnny Ace rehires Show to do his bidding, which results in a Big Show vs Cena feud where Show doesn't want to do Johnny's bidding, but has no choice.

Also, for some reason, I was really hoping this match was Brodus vs Kofi. That would be interesting. Sometimes I hate the heel/face dynamic.

[Malfeitor]

What the fuck did Swagger do before he started walking down the ramp? Hahaha.

[Cool King]

What the fuck did Swagger do before he started walking down the ramp? Hahaha.

He marked a line and then crossed it.

[Malfeitor]

He marked a line and then crossed it.

I rewatched it. Yes, he did do that. I wasn't paying attention because his face was pretty ridiculous.

[Keith]

A.W. looks like his former comedy sidekick Tony Atlas now.

[Hanso Amore]

BOTCH-A-CARANA

[Droford]

Miz is Squashed Part 2

[Keith]

Ok, that's it. Miz pissed somebody off.

[McLegend]

It was time for WWE to fulfill there weekly Racial quota.

[Droford]

Del Rio's cross arm breaker looks stupid compared to Lesnars thing

[Droford]

lol really

[ClockShot]

Punk: "Sorry, I'm taken."

[Keith]

Haha what's up with Sheamus' walk with his arms extended? Looked kinda weird.

[Cool King]

AJ has pulled more sad faces in the WWE than she's had matches.

[Fignuts]

yeah AJ.

[Droford]

Jericho vs Orton, watch the ratings go through the roof!

unless they dont

[Cool King]

Jericho's mother is dead, Sheamus.

[Savio]

Y2J needs this win to look somewhat capable of winning the title sunday.

[Droford]

Y2J needs this win to look somewhat capable of winning the title sunday.

NOT THAT WAY!

[Savio]

Well not that way

[Keith]

Watch Del Rio win the title out of nowhere.

[ClockShot]

Gotta agree with Ace with that one.

[ClockShot]

Wow, Superman is all better.

Whodafunkit?

[Malfeitor]

Why is Cena not whipping Johnny's ass?

[Savio]

1 for 4?

[Droford]

1 for 4 is a .250 average

[Keith]

Is this real life?

[Malfeitor]

Wow.

[ClockShot]

Ace Ventura ladies and gentlemen.

[Droford]

John Cena Carrey

[Fignuts]

what is this i don't even

[Cool King]

Cena just reminded me of Jim Carrey while he was doing that.

[Droford]

When has he stepped on Nougat?

[KIRA]

Hes channeling Ace Ventura badly

[Savio]

didnt Cena only say 3 things not 4?

[Keith]

This is just cheesy.

[Malfeitor]

Bring back Pete Gas sign!

[Cool King]

Someone has a "Bring Back Pete Gas" sign! :lol:

[Innovator]

Turned Raw off around 1030, thanks for knowing I didn't miss anything.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Steelers are gay

[Droford]

Why is Cena not whipping Johnny's ass?

He's gonna talk him to death

[Keith]

What the fuck are these two doing?

[Malfeitor]

He's gonna talk him to death

You're not even kidding.

[Hanso Amore]

Much like this weeks SNL - Raw started out nicely, petered off in the middle, and ended HORRIBLY

[Fignuts]

good lord did he just say that

[Keith]

This is the worst promo I've seen in years. And I'm not even joking.

[Cool King]

Cena always carries hockey pucks in his back pocket.

[ClockShot]

Eve rockin' Wolfpac colors.

[Malfeitor]

Best thing about this segment was the Pete Gas sign.

[Droford]

Big Show interferes..

BRILLIANT

HES ALREADY FIRED, THEY CANT FIRE HIM, HES FIRED DAMNIT

[Savio]

Big Show to interfere?

[Keith]

What a way to finish Raw. Damn.

[Hanso Amore]

So my guess is Johnny wins by Big Show interference. He cant be fired because he already is. Then he gets rehired.

[ClockShot]

Well, no way ace is getting fired. I'm thinking Brock as the outside guy to cost Cena the match?

[Crimson]

Stop complaining guys!! Just wait and see where this storyline goes!

[Hanso Amore]

BIG SHOW IS UNFIREABLE

[ClockShot]

YEAH!

[Cool King]

Haha! I love Laurinaitis.

[Crimson]

So my guess is Johnny wins by Big Show interference. He cant be fired because he already is. Then he gets rehired.

I was going to say Brock but Show makes sense now too

[Fignuts]

Big Show will interfere since he's no longer employed, and cost Cena the match.

[Savio]

I was thinking earlier sunday there might be a bigshow swerve

[Droford]

god damnit now everyones gonna have Big Show interfering in Tipsters

[Fignuts]

Well I was late with that one.

[Emperor Smeat]

Doesn't seem like this week's RAW really did anything special to help sell the ppv this Sunday but wasn't really horrible either overall.

Laurinaitis could easily subdue Cena if he used the same logic he did against the Big Show but WWE logic doesn't like to work the same way as real world logic.

[#1-norm-fan]

Doesn't seem like this week's RAW really did anything special to help sell the ppv this Sunday but wasn't really horrible either overall.

Really? I thought the did a spectacular job of selling the PPV. The other matches, not so much but the Cena-Laurinaitis match at least got sold really well with the whole new stipulations intrigue.

[Lock Jaw]

I have consistently enjoyed Cena for a long while now.... tonight is the first time in a long time that I have found him completely terrible and unwatchable.

[#1-norm-fan]

It's still kinda weird how weak the build for everything else has been. Even Bryan and Punk, storyline-wise, has absolutely zero interest for me. No heat whatsoever.

[Lock Jaw]

And yeah, obvious that Big Show is gonna interfere at Over The Limit. Get his job back and be a corporate heel/badass loner submission machine.

[#1-norm-fan]

I have consistently enjoyed Cena for a long while now.... tonight is the first time in a long time that I have found him completely terrible and unwatchable.

He tries too hard sometimes and it comes off as awkward. Crowd seemed to be enjoying it though, oddly enough.

[Lock Jaw]

[Corndad]

Just got back from the show.

Some Live Notes

Dunno how came off on TV but crowd was into really about everything.

Daniel Bryan was the third most over behind Cena and Orton and right on par with Punk. I literally saw dozens and dozens of the typical Cena fan kids chanting Yeses. He's come along way since the last show I went to he was on Superstars tagging with Gail Kim. A TON of Yes chants and signs. Yes chant for every move he did in Tag Match. Loved every second. Crowd was really into that match.

Shocked Tensai was in a Superstars Match and not on Raw at all. He did come back out for a Dark match 6 man tag but was surprised by this.

Also surprised Ryder was in a Dark Match. Dean Ambrose was really entertaining I thought both in the ring and on the mic before the match against Zack.

From reading the comments in this thread the last segment wasn't received well through TV but it actually came off pretty good Live. I could see the Pittsburgh references falling on deaf ears on TV but it worked Live. Cena also worked the dark match 6 man tag.

The Big Show segment went on WAY too long live. The firing was a bit of a surprise but I'm thinking he's either just taking time off for a while or just going to come back after Johnny loses at PPV.

Dolph sells like a Mother F'er, even in a Dark Match.

Overall a great evening. I'm sure will be adding more as I think of it in the morning but those are my thoughts off the top of my head right now.

Top Face Pops:
1.Cena
2. Orton
3. Bryan/Punk

Top Heat:
1. Big Johnny
2. Vicki
3. Jericho/Heyman

[Flash Funk]

The crowd came across dead for the most part except for the YES chants and the hometown cheap pops.

I feel like the storylines are solid, especially Heyman/Lesnar vs. HHH. Looking forward to both title matches, but the last two weeks of Raw have been completely forgettable.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Big Show runs in at the Johnny/John and WMD or chokeslams John Cena. Ace wins the match. Big Show gets re-hired and feuds with Cena for a little bit....again. It's about time the Big Show turns back into a monster-heel/enforcer for Big Johnny.

[#1-norm-fan]

Since we're having fun talking about logic.

Technically, Show wouldn't need to help Laurinaitis win as realistically, if Laurinaitis lost and got fired, surely Show would be re-hired.

[#1-norm-fan]

WWE likes to do things for the sole purpose of swerving the crowd. I wouldn't be surprised if Show comes out and Laurinaitis tells him to take out Cena if he wants his job back and Show ends up giving Laurinaitis a WMD.

Afterwards, Lesnar can come out and cost Cena.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Maybe but it would depend on who became the GM after Big Johnny. I still say it goes down that way.

If there is a vacancy after the ppv: Brock Lesnar gets back into the WWE with the proviso that the GM of Raw and Smackdown is.....Paul Heyman.

[Mr. Nerfect]

See, they need to get Brock Lesnar back into the WWE some way. It would kind of make sense for Heyman to become the General Manager (since he can talk) and bring Brock back. Big Show could cost Laurinaitis the match to get us there.

[Sepholio]

That would be awesome. Heyman cuts a deal with HHH to become GM in exchange for dropping the law suit and gets a provision that HHH can not interfere with his GM duties unless he can beat Brock Lesnar.

[MisterLee]

Heyman cutting a deal with hhh would be good. They get big show to interfere at otl and cost Johnny ace the match and heyman is the GM with Brock and Big Show on his side. Would be interesting. I'm tired of the current direction they're giving the big show. Sucks.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Really like Brodus, but come on, did they have to extend the entrance of all things to do with the character?

[itsmeJD]

Since we're having fun talking about logic.

Technically, Show wouldn't need to help Laurinaitis win as realistically, if Laurinaitis lost and got fired, surely Show would be re-hired.

Technically, Show wouldn't need to help Laurinaitis win as realistically he's fighting John Cena, who has proven he can beat multiple men by himself and is a superhero.

[Corndad]

Another live report from the Front Page and it is pretty spot on.


Superstars matches were Heath Slater vs Alex Riley and Lord Tensai vs Tyson Kidd

Some side notes for you…the YES chants were off the charts outside and inside the arena while the crowd was filing in. The crowd was really hot for the dark match and Superstars taping. We tailed off some during the HHH promo, but the place went nuts again for the Punk/Santino vs. Bryan/Rhodes match. Bryan was over beyond belief.

Then the trouble started and WWE booking was the cause. The Divas match drew absolutely NO response from the crowd. Then there was an extremely long wait before the next match due to promos or whatever what was being shown on TV. Kane vs. Big Show had very little crowd reaction until the begging and firing bit between Show and Johnny L. The crowd really bought into the Big Show’s performance and gave him a very nice “Thank you, Big Show” chant. The six man tag drew little reaction. There was a standing ovation for the National Guard commercial shown to the arena and huge USA chant. Orton vs. Jericho pretty much left the crowd confused to as to who they wanted to cheer…so they pretty much sat there. A Y2J chant broke out for awhile. That was actually pretty interesting considering the amount of children in attendance. I think the most amazing part of the show might have been John Cena of all people breaking the crowd out of its coma. He had us in the palm of his hand for whatever reason. We had no idea when the show ended. People started leaving quickly and kept filing out during the Punk/Jericho and six man main event dark matches. It seemed as if nobody knew they were scheduled.

Overall, a disappointing show leading into a PPV and way to much sitting around for a hot crowd that wanted to be heard and weren’t given any chances. WWE booking dropped the ball big time after having horrible crowd reactions the last few weeks. The people were willing, but the WWE wasn’t able. People were also willing to buy the latest CM Punk shirt and they ran out of children’s and most of the adult sizes before Raw even went on the air. WWE really needs to get their act together and judge their live crowds better. They really seem to be out of the loop of what we want. They need to take a lesson from TNA of all people.

Tons of YES chants outside the arena after the show.

[Gertner]

The opening segment drew a 2.91. Bryan and Punk are just killing the company.

[VSG]

Opening segment was HHH/Heyman.

[Gertner]

It's included in that quarter. Heyman/HHH probably scored a 4.0 and Punk and Bryan brought it down with their 1.5

[Corndad]

http://wrestlinglol.com/photos/TDcMy.gif

[VSG]

It's included in that quarter. Heyman/HHH probably scored a 4.0 and Punk and Bryan brought it down with their 1.5

HHH/Heyman took well over 20 minutes including all the replays. No way Punk/Bryan featured in this. The reason for the poor rating overall I would attribute to the insanely long promo segments. Once the detailed quarter ratings are up, we shall find out for sure.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It's included in that quarter. Heyman/HHH probably scored a 4.0 and Punk and Bryan brought it down with their 1.5

What color is the sky in your world?

[James Steele]

What color is the sky in your world?

Probably shit brown with corn clouds, diarrhea rain, and Nattie Neidhart winds.
