Ermaximus Presents: Raw Thread for 07/09/12. Yes Men, Mystery GM's, and Heath Slater eats a Chicken Wing!

[Ermaximus]

Raw is in Denver. Bob Backlund is in Denver. You do the math. Also, bonus points if you spot Skippord or Davebrawl on tv.

[Kapoutman]

Bob Backlund could simply be there to manage the Sultan. It could be.

[Ermaximus]

Maybe it'll actually be Iron Shiek and he can give Heath Slater the "old country way."

[Innovator]

Step Test on RAW?

[taker707]

Ill be their live 4th row right on the ramp. leaving pretty soon for Denver.

[Curtis Anderson]

I hope that Brodus Clay takes revenge for the punch Big Show gave to him. Do you think they will name more participants for the WWE Championship Money in the Bank match? With the match being only for former champions, maybe Backlund is in Denver to announce his participation, as a legend to promote the 1000th episode of Raw.

[Curtis Anderson]

Bob Backlund could simply be there to manage the Sultan. It could be.

Iron Sheik was The Sultan's manager, not Bob Backlund. Bob Backlund did manage Kurt Angle for a short time in the late 90's.

[Big Vic]

Step Test on RAW?I miss Test :(

[Ermaximus]

I hope that Brodus Clay takes revenge for the punch Big Show gave to him. Do you think they will name more participants for the WWE Championship Money in the Bank match? With the match being only for former champions, maybe Backlund is in Denver to announce his participation, as a legend to promote the 1000th episode of Raw.

Miz and Mysterio are possibilities, but I don't see either one being added to the match.

[Tom Guycott]

I fail to see what the RAW thread has to do with protesting public breastfeeding and going down to the nudie bar.

[Lock Jaw]

Is this thread Bob Backlund Authorized?

[Ermaximus]

Is this thread Bob Backlund Authorized?

Why don't you ask him for us Mr. GM for the night.

[Big Vic]

Ooooo is Lock jaw GM again?

[Ermaximus]

Well, they have Ryder as GM of SD this week, but didn't announce who the Raw GM is. Vickie, Teddy, and Foley have all done their week as GM, so that doesn't leave a ton of options open unless they get Adamle, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, or Flair for the night.

[Innovator]

or some guy named Heyman.

[Lock Jaw]

;)

[#1-norm-fan]

Iron Sheik was The Sultan's manager, not Bob Backlund. Bob Backlund did manage Kurt Angle for a short time in the late 90's.

Bob Backlund and The Iron Sheik both managed The Sultan.

Are you doing a "'know-it-all' who constantly gets it wrong" gimmick? Is that it?

[#1-norm-fan]

Miz and Mysterio are possibilities, but I don't see either one being added to the match.

Foley is technically a possibility too if they felt like they hadn't worn out the "Foley going for one last hoo-rah" thing enough.

But I doubt they're going to add anyone. They've made the match seem pretty much set at 4 guys.

[XCaliber]

Hope they plan on adding more too the RAW MITB as well it seems kind of lopsided with SD's which currently has 7 and will likely end up having an 8th in Wade Barrett but regardless the result will be the same.

Cena wins! :|

[#1-norm-fan]

Cody is already in it. He qualified on Smackdown.

I'm still think Wade Barrett returns this week on Smackdown to take the 8th spot.

[#1-norm-fan]

As for the GM, we may be over-thinking it and they'll just go through Raw without mentioning anything about a GM. There's only so many past GMs that can come back and run shows for a week. Just ignoring it tonight and having Ryder on Smackdown stretches it out another week without having to use any of the past GMs.

[Poit]

They could always use someone who was GM for a night, like Orton or Jericho.

[XCaliber]

Cody is already in it. He qualified on Smackdown.

I'm still think Wade Barrett returns this week on Smackdown to take the 8th spot.

Isn't that what I said? :shifty:

[#1-norm-fan]

Hmm. Who else has been a one night Raw GM?

Maven was.

[#1-norm-fan]

Isn't that what I said? :shifty:

currently has 7 and will likely end up having an 8th in Cody Rhodes

It sounds like you're saying there are currently 7 and Cody will likely be the 8th.

Cody is already in the 7.

[Scott Roberts]

Gonna make my signature Crossface Chicken Wings for dinner tonight in honor of Backlund possibly coming back.

[Volare]

Let's get this started right.

[Corndad]

They should have AJ be the one to beat Slater up tonight.

[ClockShot]

It's been a while since WWE was back in Denver. I'm just curious of what reception they'll get.

[Flash Funk]

It will clearly be Lock Jaw aka the computer as GM tonight.

[#1-norm-fan]

It's been a while since WWE was back in Denver. I'm just curious of what reception they'll get.

This isn't the first time since the "incident" is it?

[Scott Roberts]

It will clearly be Lock Jaw aka the computer as GM tonight.

Wait, what?

[Lock Jaw]

I was the Anonymous Raw General Manager.

[Scott Roberts]

Do you work for WWE?

[Scott Roberts]

Probably aren't even allowed to answer my question anyways.

[Volare]

He is all knowing...just trust him.

[Gonzo]

Shh, it has to be kept a secret.

[ClockShot]

This isn't the first time since the "incident" is it?

I think so.

[Innovator]

I want Savio Vega.

[ClockShot]

Way too many Boys & Girls Clubs kids out there. Gonna be a alot of fights and crying kids out there before the night is over.

[ClockShot]

Yes, I'm going back and forth between this and the Home Run Derby tonight.

GOT A PROBLEM WITH IT!

[Droford]

is bob backlund running for president?

[Volare]

Ludvig Borga....holy shit there's a name I haven't heard in a loooong ass time.

[Poit]

Such majestic music in this video package.

[Droford]

im tired of aj

[Ruien]

Yes, I'm going back and forth between this and the Home Run Derby tonight.

GOT A PROBLEM WITH IT!

Why would you want to watch batting practice?

[Rollermacka]

Ludvig Borga....holy shit there's a name I haven't heard in a loooong ass time.

.... he's dead.

[Ruien]

im tired of aj

I agree. They are using her up way to fast.

[Tom Guycott]

Ludvig Borga....holy shit there's a name I haven't heard in a loooong ass time.

Inorite?!

[ClockShot]

Stan Kroneke sighting.

Made ya look.

[Keith]

im tired of aj

Yeah, too much AJ.

Now she's Special Guest Referee too.

[Rollermacka]

:lol: AJ's eyes when Punks music didn't start instantly

[Corndad]

Couldn't disagree more. This AJ angle is the best thing they've had since the Nexus deal. Least of their creation. Punks stuff last year was all him.

[Rollermacka]

I think Greg "The Hammer" Valentine should be the legend to come out this week.... I never really understood why he was known as "the hammer"

[ClockShot]

She's using some big words here.

[Droford]

lol..last frday..someone forgot t was live

[Keith]

Couldn't disagree more. This AJ angle is the best thing they've had since the Nexus deal. Least of their creation. Punks stuff last year was all him.

Yeah, and how'd the Nexus angle end up?

[Savio]

Where's Lock Jaw?

[Cool King]

im tired of aj

Since day one, over here.

[Jari]

Anyone know what they were chanting?

[Immortal Moose]

Couldn't disagree more. This AJ angle is the best thing they've had since the Nexus deal.

I don't feel that they're really overusing her either, at least not yet, I think people just aren't used to seeing a diva this much in a title feud.

[Tom Guycott]

Ugh, that audio squeal!

Someone in the truck isn't on their job.

[Corndad]

Yeah, and how'd the Nexus angle end up?

I'm afraid it ended the same way I hope this doesn't. With Super Cena going ape shit crazy.

[Droford]

cheesy soap opra time

[Rollermacka]

Alrighty, this is taking too long.... Pee break.

[Immortal Moose]

This is kinda cheesy though.

[Emperor Smeat]

AJ probably going to kill someone if Punk says no.

[Keith]

I'm afraid it ended the same way I hope this doesn't. With Super Cena going ape shit crazy.

I'm not saying she's not good or isn't doing a good job, just that they're overusing her.

[Droford]

I'm afraid it ended the same way I hope this doesn't. With Super Cena going ape shit crazy.
aj le crisses them both and refs the cena cas in as a triple threat and help cena win lol

[#1-norm-fan]

I agree. They are using her up way to fast.

This storyline could be amazing with just 4 or 5 nights of build between PPVs. 8 or 10 nights of build for a group of writers that just isn't creative enough to do that much just waters stuff down. Hopefully tonight and Smackdown are good though.

[Droford]

oh what the fuck

[#1-norm-fan]

YES! YES! YES!

LIVE BLOWJOB!

YES!

[Rollermacka]

I come back and AJ's on her knees. I like where this is going :naughty:

[Keith]

This is stupid. I'ma go watch Prince Fielder in the HR Derby.

[The Whole F'n Show]

lmao this is hilarious

[Immortal Moose]

lol what the fuck

[#1-norm-fan]

HAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ClockShot]

AJ just took a page out of the Lillian Garcia playbook.

[Droford]

will she be aj punk?

[DirtyD]

YES! YES! YES! haha but really

[Jari]

I blame TNA for all this.

[ClockShot]

I STILL LOVE YOU!

[Tom Guycott]

aj le crisses them both and refs the cena cas in as a triple threat and help cena win lol

Replace Cena with Barrett and we have a winner!

[#1-norm-fan]

I wish she would have pulled out a ring. Would have made that even more awesome.

[Cool King]

I miss the days when the WWE Title picture was about the WWE Title.

[Dukelorange]

It's losing steam, but AJ needs to be in the Divas' divison and carry that.

[Rollermacka]

Where's Kane in all this? Wasn't he "tasting the AJ" too?

[Corndad]

I do doesn't come till the Wedding man.

[The Whole F'n Show]

I blame TNA for all this.

this

[#1-norm-fan]

He wouldn't say "I do" til the wedding, Bryan. You hack.

[Droford]

i want punk to say..im sorry to ell you this..but..i ave a real life wife..this s all fake..yourealuze that?

[Immortal Moose]

Where's Kane in all this? Wasn't he "tasting the AJ" too?

She got too crazy, so he bailed.

[#1-norm-fan]

BRYAN GONNA PROPOSE TO PUNK! AWW SHIT!

[Dukelorange]

Art thou serious bro?

[Corndad]

I love Heel Dickish Bryan. Don't care what anyone else thinks hahahaha

[#1-norm-fan]

Oh

[Droford]

big money goat face

[The Whole F'n Show]

anon raw gm YES! YES! YES!

[Jari]

This is hilarious!

[Poit]

Where's Lock Jaw?

Running Raw.

[Corndad]

Well theres the random GM for this week.

[Droford]

haha haha..omg

[Crimson]

[#1-norm-fan]

LOCKJAW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RKO'em]

aaaaaahhhh!!

[ClockShot]

SKYNET RETURNS!

[Tazz Dan]

LOCK JAW!

[Immortal Moose]

:rofl: "Can I have your attention, please?"

[Tom Guycott]

Snap! It's Lock Jaw!

[Ruien]

HESSSSSSS BACK!

[Emperor Smeat]

So Lock Jaw is this week's GM :shifty:

[Volare]

LOOOOOOOOOCK JAAAAAAAW!

[Ruien]

Something that could possibly save this segment!!

[Cool King]

Where's Lock Jaw?

Your question has just been answered.

[Droford]

daniel bryan gets eve..haha

[The Whole F'n Show]

I could definitely go for a little hoeski tonight haha

[#1-norm-fan]

I hope the night ends with a shitty reveal of the Raw GM being someone completely underwhelming to end the "intrigue".

[ClockShot]

What the fuck you complain' about, Dan? You're taggin' with best piece of ass in the back right now.

[Droford]

aj is gonna marry cena..swerve

[Crimson]

Why is AJ pausing after every damn word

[McLegend]

I love this.

[The Whole F'n Show]

wow without jericho, that tag match would be completely unwatchable

[Corndad]

So when the hell did Kane turn face again lol Didn't they spend months having Kane having Cena embrace the hate?

[Droford]

Why is AJ pausing after every damn word
she forgot to pay fir more acting lessons

[Cool King]

I enjoyed Cole's lengthy battle with the sheet that was covering the laptop.

[Immortal Moose]

So when the hell did Kane turn face again lol Didn't they spend months having Kane having Cena embrace the hate?

cena got kane to embrace..um..something

[Cool King]

So when the hell did Kane turn face again lol

When he rejected AJ.

[Corndad]

Pissed Sheamooose

[ClockShot]

Swagger's already in the ring.

Not a good sign.

[Cool King]

Godamn, Swagger jobbing to Sheamus. :( arsearsearsearsearse

[Droford]

nuce to know you swagger

[Cool King]

Seriously, who did Swagger piss off?

[Tom Guycott]

I wonder why they keep alternating Sheamus' titantron vid?

Sometimes, like just now, they show the video. Other times, they show that cheap-looking firey cross/kaleidoscope effect with "SHEAMUS" in the center and that's it.

[The Whole F'n Show]

ooo is that an enzo?

[Keith]

Hahaha this should be a weekly thing, Del Rio backstage honking his horn to get the attention of everybody.

[Corndad]

Swagger, jobber to the stars.

[ClockShot]

Ouch. Looked like Swagger caught that 2nd boot right on the nose.

[Tom Guycott]

Maybe Thwagger is going to get "sick of being jobbed out" and get an image overhaul to move him away from being Kurt Angle II.

[el bobbo]

Damn. 1/2 an hour in and already 4 pages.

That AJ stuff was captivating.

[Ermaximus]

I hope the night ends with a shitty reveal of the Raw GM being someone completely underwhelming to end the "intrigue".

THEY FOUND TRENT BARETTA! HE WAS THE ANONYMOUS GM ALL ALONG!

[Volare]

Shit Lock Jaw Santino is on your ass bro!

[Cool King]

I'd love it if Santino found Trent instead.

[el bobbo]

Hopefully Santino finds out that the anonymous Raw GM is Michael Tarver.

[Droford]

santinos gonna find lock jaw..

[Droford]

rock on raw 1000...hmm

[Blakeamus]

Oh I was wondering when The Rock would return

[Ermaximus]

I smell a made for TV WWE Film. Santino Marella is, Detective Cobra! Starring John C. McGinley as Officer Percival Mangold.

[The Whole F'n Show]

why the hell is prince albert in this match?

[Droford]

..we dont need no stinkin intros

[Blakeamus]

Fucking Dolph can take a bump!

[McLegend]

Hornswaggle will probably end up being the anonymous Raw GM.

[Tom Guycott]

Christian with the modified Flair Flop!

[McLegend]

Which of course means Lock Jaw= Hornswaggle.

[Corndad]

Sakamoto is still there after being beat up like 2 straight weeks lol

[Droford]

adios kidd

[Rollermacka]

:lol: Gotta make a Train reference, don't you Jerry?

[Blakeamus]

That powerbomb to the apron was sick.

[Emperor Smeat]

Sakamoto has to be happy since no beating for him this week.

[Blakeamus]

Sakamoto is still there after being beat up like 2 straight weeks lol

tough love.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>God dammit, I hope they didn't write Kidd off of MITB.</font>

[Droford]

lol

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. How forced was that fight?

[Keith]

This RAW is becoming a bit of a clusterfuck.

[ClockShot]

Where does King get his shirts?

[Triple Naitch]

How does the Anon GM have that shit typed and sent so quickly?

[Droford]

this is awful

[Corndad]

Cole has been wrestling way too much recently

[ClockShot]

Aries vs. Punk sign. How'd that get past security?

[Poit]

How does the Anon GM have that shit typed and sent so quickly?

Lock Jaw is quite the typist.

[The Whole F'n Show]

Where does King get his shirts?

They look a little like the wal mart ripoff affliction shirts haha

[Cool King]

I've voted "No".

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Couldn't vote No fast enough.

[Tom Guycott]

How does the Anon GM have that shit typed and sent so quickly?

Lock Jaw has developed mad typing skills from posting in the forums.

[Tom Guycott]

dammit, Poit! Beat me to it.

[The Whole F'n Show]

another "no"

[#1-norm-fan]

You know what would be a better idea that Michael Cole vs Jerry Lawler 6 days before Money in the Bank?

Using that time to build up a match for the PPV so we don't have to watch two randomly thrown together matches to full out the card that would be more suited for Superstars.

Too much work?

[Blakeamus]

No.

[Droford]

no time for intros to that last match..ut time fr this shit

[Tom Guycott]

Here comes Layl... oh, it's just Brodus.

[Frank Drebin]

DID YOU KNOW:
Everytime an episode of Raw airs, an angel gets it's wings? Thats almost 1,000 pairs of wings!!!

[Cool King]

Reading some of the comments on the WWE's Facebook account about the Cole/Lawler match, it's weird to read comments that are saying "Yes" and that come across as being genuinely excited of the thought of the match happening.

[Corndad]

SO the Funkettes get an entrance but Swagger doesn't lol He has to be sitting somewhere crying in a corner

[ClockShot]

Hey, it's that Drew McIntyre guy.

[Blakeamus]

Poor Drew

[Cool King]

I managed to vote twice, Cole.

[Droford]

Reading some of the comments on the WWE's Facebook account about the Cole/Lawler match, it's weird to read comments that are saying "Yes" and that come across as being genuinely excited of the thought of the match happening.

[The Whole F'n Show]

I wonder what they will do if the no votes outnumber the yes votes, besides skew the results that is :shifty:

[Frank Drebin]

So tired of this song and dance

[Corndad]

These matches are kinda the piss tonight.

[Jari]

Wasn't Drew meant to be getting a new gimmick and everything.

Poor jock bastard.

[Cool King]

Quick matches so far.

I bet Lawler/Cole is about twenty minutes long.

[Tom Guycott]

Potential stable of Swagger, Drew Mac, and One Man Band joining together to overcome jobbing out.

[Droford]

i have a sneaking suspicion that opening aj segment ran ver by 10 minutes or somthing

[Blakeamus]

Again!

[ClockShot]

I turned my head for a second and these kids magically appear in the ring when I turn back.

[Corndad]

Jeri-Show

[Dukelorange]

I wonder what would happen if everyone votes no...

[Frank Drebin]

I turned my head for a second and these kids magically appear in the ring when I turn back.

Brodus will kidnap them and send them into the sex slave trade just as fast.

[ClockShot]

John Cena in the mid-show main event. Sweet, get him out early.

Punk/Bryan main event gotta be big.

[Poit]

Dear WWE, I wish that Jericho & Big Show use the Jerishow mashup theme tonight.

I thought Cena's match was announced as the main event?

[Damndirty]

Drew just needs to grow some boobs and he can be a diva.

[Droford]

Can't tell if this is a typo or not.

big cho

not a typo

[Frank Drebin]

So strange to see those Farmers commercials with JK Simmons after he played Shillinger on OZ.

[Wake Up Call]

Raw before MITB and it has been shit. But still to come.... King vs Cole!!!

:roll:

[Damndirty]

Steph gettin wrinkly, in a Dolly Parton kind of way where tits still look the same.

[Droford]

memrable moment for sreph..prb nt when her tits fell out

[Damndirty]

Smashing!!!

[Frank Drebin]

forgot how huge stephs tits got

[Corndad]

Oh Steph. I miss you

[Damndirty]

She sounds like a dinosaur.

[Frank Drebin]

I think i saw a Papa Shongo sign there :)

[Corndad]

Just marked out for the La Parka sign

[Damndirty]

Sheen needs to shoot Cena with a crossbow.

[Damndirty]

Remember... 9 yr olds in the audience!

[The Whole F'n Show]

why does he need to talk, same shit every week

[Dukelorange]

These Cheetos commercials get better and better.

Hall of fame poster...

[Frank Drebin]

Cena has to explain the concept of the match for his fans.

[el bobbo]

Cena... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ugh

[Blakeamus]

Silly Cena, he knows that he don't have to win MITB to recieve a WWE title shot...:roll:

[Droford]

must see event?hmm..

[Frank Drebin]

Someone get a gif of that fat kid with the cena sign that was just on TV

[Damndirty]

Oh, we can't see you winning John......

[Tom Guycott]

I think this "former champion" clause for the RAW MITB is a cop-out way to have someone finally lose when cashing in without it potentially hindering someone's elevation. All these guys have been champs. It won't be "make or break"

[Droford]

oh wait this isnt a heath slater promo

[Blakeamus]

Cena has to explain the concept of the match for his fans.

Would rather Morgan Freeman narrarating the concept of the match.

[Dukelorange]

What's better the MITB concept or the Destination X concept?

[Damndirty]

Did he just repeat his point five times in one sentence?

[Frank Drebin]

Now Kane will explain the concept again for his fans.

[Tom Guycott]

So, they're partners. Does this mean Cena has embraced enough hate?

[Damndirty]

Or burn turnbuckles

[Damndirty]

His jacket gives me seizures....

[Tom Guycott]

Jeri-cammo

[Droford]

well its the big cho

[Blakeamus]

Jeri-IronCladContract

[Tom Guycott]

Now Kane will explain the concept again for his fans.

Would have been funny if all 4 guys did that.

[Damndirty]

Did anyone else notice that Show's steps matched to the beat of his theme?
