Official Weekly Last Minute Raw Thread *8/27 Thread*

[Corndad]

Show starting soon and didn't see a Thread... Sounds like HHH starting the show.

[Heisenberg]

Kid has football practice, posting and viewing from phone. #FaceDad

[Corndad]

Be curious if Punk still gets as big of a Face Reaction as he has last few weeks

[Droford]

Assume lawler vs punk..

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Punk is PWI #1 of the year. #BestIntheWorld

[Immortal Moose]

Got a fantasy draft in 30 minutes but I'll watch some of Raw.

[Droford]

Not the way raw normally starts? Uh..

[Corndad]

Someone got a hair cut

[Cool King]

Where does Lawler get those God awful T-Shirts from?

[Cool King]

I like the haircut. :y:

[Emperor Smeat]

Punk looks like Orton with that haircut.

[GD]

I dig Punk's new hairstyle.

[Cool King]

The hell is up with Lawler's nose?

[Corndad]

Punk layin it on thick

[ClockShot]

I'm liking this tweenish CM Punk.

[Droford]

Hey punk..I'll think about it = we got 3 hours to kill

[GD]

I have never liked Jerry Lawler and segments like these make me glad that he is still employed.

[Cool King]

Swagger, Nice.

[GD]

The burial of Swagger continues.

[Droford]

Poor swagger

[ClockShot]

Wow. Swagger is in the doghouse.

[Cool King]

Ryback, fuck.

[Cool King]

That Lesnar fan is right in the front row.

[GD]

Why don't they show the pyro during Ryback's entrance?

[ClockShot]

Awwww. Swagger. Fuck'd up the back body drop.

[Droford]

Swagger takes a back body drop badly

[el bobbo]

FEED ME MORE!

[GD]

I am going to cry now.

[Cool King]

I really wish Ryback would lose already. :-\

[GD]

That's it?

[Cool King]

lol, a fan telling Swagger it's ok.

[Cool King]

Lawler trying to look like he was thinking.

[Emperor Smeat]

So does this mean Ryback is back to doing nothing considering the Jinder feud is over according to Cole?

[ClockShot]

As of late, Ryback is pretty much punishment to anyone who opens their mouth in back.

[ClockShot]

Ugh. Hate Layla's new music.

[el bobbo]

Layla's song makes me want to kill myself. And that's not even hyperbole.

[ClockShot]

Where's Zigs?

[GD]

I remember someone else using the same entrance theme.

[GD]

Fuckin' A! Go Layla!

[ClockShot]

I'd be dragging my feet on purpose during this match.

[GD]

This is actually a pretty decent Divas match for a change.

[Corndad]

So why again is Vickie out there?

[Cool King]

Natalya. :(

[GD]

Loved the match.

[ClockShot]

It's better to burn out.........

Okay, now I'm getting the early stages of a wicked bad headache.

[el bobbo]

I bet Vicki sucks a mean cock.

[el bobbo]

YES!!!!

[Corndad]

Oh shit just went down.

[el bobbo]

AJ is too hot.

[Cool King]

YES!

AJ will be stripped of her GM position next week!

[Droford]

Ajs not gonna be GM much longer I see

[ClockShot]

Oh boy, a Triple H career in review.

Somebody call Steele.

[GD]

Looks like Triple H came.

[Poit]

I remember someone else using the same entrance theme.

It's Tiffany's old music.

[GD]

Enough with the Resident Evil movies. All of them suck.

[ClockShot]

Enough with the Resident Evil movies. All of them suck.

Agreed.

[St. Jimmy]

I'll see you guys in three weeks when this show is over.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol:

[Corndad]

Daniel Bryan is seriously the highlight of my week LOL

[Cool King]

"Don't touch me, Harold". :lol:

[Cool King]

Is that gum sticking to Lawler's mic?

[ClockShot]

Get off the soapbox, King.

[ClockShot]

Don't think I'm gonna make it to the end of this show..........again.

[Purgatory]

So we got Lawler and Punk tonight.

[GD]

It's that chick from Vimeo and iCarly!

[Purgatory]

found a decent stream...two actually. The other is showing the Raw "All-Stars" night. Stone Cold hosted...I must have missed that one.

[ClockShot]

Was hoping to avoid Cena tonight. Guess it ain't happening.

[Corndad]

The home of PBR LOL

[Purgatory]

bloody hell...I would do dirty things to that...

[Purgatory]

Thanks Guru Dave. :)

[ClockShot]

Hmmmmm. The Miz.

This has my attention for the moment.

[Purgatory]

Miz is gonna job:( wtf

[Cool King]

[Droford]

One man bandwagon

[Cool King]

Cole and Mathews should announce both Raw and SmackDown.

[Cool King]

Gif it! Gif Slater!

[Droford]

Ugh..what

[Droford]

Wwe appitude

[Heisenberg]

Back in time for Sandow and Rhodes. Great fuckin timing.

[Cool King]

Cut Sandow's music!

[Cool King]

What a fantastic team.

[Heisenberg]

What a fantastic team.

They are money already with that short promo

[Krimzon7]

Cody Rhodes can get in the ring with a mop and have a five star match/segment. He's fucking golden right now.

But I came here to extol the greatness of Santino. The Cobra dragged him into the back

[Krimzon7]

Cameron and Naomi....

Naomi is I Moan in reverse.

[Heisenberg]

Fuck that piss

[Cool King]

Sandow's first loss.

[Cool King]

That trash can at the door is going to get used.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Kane

[Droford]

Oh god..they referenced Katie vick

[Corndad]

LOL No Problem Harold

[Cool King]

That was great. :lol:

[PorkSoda]

Kane. Hilarious.

[Corndad]

That was awesome.

[Corndad]

James Steele... set your DVR.

[GD]

That Kane segment was pure gold.

[Cool King]

Shetland ponies are awesome.

[Poit]

Coincidentally, "Straight From the Lips of Triple H" is James Steele's favorite porn.

[Cool King]

They never read out his "tweet". :-\

[GD]

Mr. Small Package sign :love:

[Droford]

Lol

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

BROCK GUY HAS SCREWED DANIEL BRYAN!

[GD]

I miss mix tapes.

[Savio]

Brock lesnar fan is better than wwe sign guy

[GD]

You tapped out sign :)

[Droford]

Wwe's budget for props must be down...hhh doesn't have that cool mechanical cast

[#1-norm-fan]

R.I.P. James Steele

[Corndad]

Someone please go check on Steele.

[#1-norm-fan]

You can do it! Bite his fucking head off!

[GD]

I hope James Steele doesn't call it a day (IRL).

[GD]

He crying.

[Krimzon7]

wait, WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?

[GD]

Could have been better.

[Cool King]

I take it that this whole "music plays while you promo" thing is here to stay then.

[Krimzon7]

ERRRHAGERD ERR WERNT ERR PERSHUNER RERNG ERRNERCER

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Del Rio/Dolph Vs. Sheamus/Orton or Rey?

[Krimzon7]

If everyone is wearing black, then how can we tell the good guys from the bad guys???

[Krimzon7]

way to keep the fucking theme, ginger.

[Cool King]

So I'm assuming Sheamus' arm has 100% healed then?

[Krimzon7]

Orton standing next to Sheamus is giving my HDTV fits right now. the tint regulator is going bananas

[#1-norm-fan]

Del Rio/Dolph Vs. Sheamus/Orton or Rey?

Rey's injured.

I'd love to see Kane call a match.

Nougat looks stupid now without facial hair

[#1-norm-fan]

lol @ Cole talking non-stop trying to engage Kane in conversation.

[Krimzon7]

COME ON ZACK!!!!

[Krimzon7]

yes YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Corndad]

Kane has been tremendous tonight lol

[#1-norm-fan]

Okay. So Kane is a... face... ?

[GD]

Michael Cole should do #RAW solo.

[Krimzon7]

CM Punk's 'muay thai' kicks look like shit. Pivot off that plant foot, turn that fucking hip over, dig that shin into the pads.

[Krimzon7]

Michael Cole should do #RAW solo.

No he shouldn't. Joey Styles is the only one who could pull that off

[#1-norm-fan]

How did No DQ get more votes than tables match? Sheesh.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Who needs the suspense and drama of the two biggest stars in WWE playing a game of chicken where one of them has to compromise their moral code to get the match they want when you can just have AJ Lee make silly faces and announce the match anyway? Jesus fucking Christ.</font>

[Cool King]

I'm 100% sure that Cole (or the writing team) has been reading the WWE Championship's Wikipedia page.

Before, I was joking.

[GD]

Lawler looks slow.

[Cool King]

<font color=goldenrod>...when you can just have AJ Lee make silly faces and announce the match anyway?</font>

Finally, someone else notices this.

She's been making those retarded faces since Day 1.

Punk is quoting Andy kaufman's promos to Lawler.

[Emperor Smeat]

dam Lawler's flying fist busted open Punk.

[Cool King]

Blood!

Someone hide the kids!

[el bobbo]

Holy fuck that's a lot of blood.

[#1-norm-fan]

... You can climb it, Cena.

[GD]

I love this.

[GD]

Did Cena just say "What a dick" ?

[#1-norm-fan]

Holy shit this was a slow Raw thread. What gives?

[Raven Reaper]

Ugh. Hate Layla's new music.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tLx6QXfu__4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Sounds familiar.. Haha. Taryn now in TNA!

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty "abysmal" RAW. Could barely make it through.

[Juan]

[Lock Jaw]

http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/ep_full/public/ep/image/2012/08/20120827_LARGE_raw_angermanagement_L.jpg

They should become Tag Team Champions.

[DaVe]

The anger management segments were superb. Kane was hilarious tonight.

[Cool King]

Holy shit this was a slow Raw thread. What gives?

I think one reason could be that the forum went down for about 20 minutes during Raw. Just before the Miz/Cena match and it returned just before the Slater/Santino match.

And it just wasn't that great of a Raw this week. Though the Bryan/Kane segments were fantastic.

Pretty "abysmal" RAW. Could barely make it through.

Same here.

I found myself pretty much checking out the time constantly during the last hour, to see how long the show had left. :-\

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hslr2AnE-Vk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Autobahn]

I love Kane. When you think of the sheer ridiculousness of some of the storylines he has been in, he managed to make it all seem somewhat seemless when describing his character tonight.

Daniel Bryan has exceeded any and all expectations I had of him. And yes, I would love to see a Kane/DB tag team

[Innovator]

HHH's segment made me think of that "wrap-it-up" box from Chappelle Show.

[Feed me!]

Wow 5 pages looks like I was right.

[DAMN iNATOR]

http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/424373_3610308418064_184348035_n.jpg

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Take off the "first time sticker" and re-label those boxes as "Sheamus" and nobody's any the wiser. :shifty:

Also, is it just me or did anyone else think Harold from the anger therapy sessions look sorta like (and it wasn't, I'm just saying...) Maven?

[Cool King]

Nah, he was too dark to look like Maven. Though I did think that Terry looked like a thinner Matt Groening.

[Cuse8]

with the exception of the bryan/kane segments..that raw was absolutely awful..the best match of the night in my opinion was the divas match..and ive never ever ever said that. ive watched raw since the start but its getting harder lately..combined with 3 hours, social media being shoved down our throats, and just terrible 2 minute long matches its been a total joke. thank god monday night football starts in 2 weeks

[Volare]

Yeah Kane/Bryan is the fucking goods. Laughed my ass off the whole way through the segment. Bryan is showing he can do it all now, and not just wrestle. Kane's been able to do this forever.

"...And for reasons never quite explained, I have an unhealthy obsession with torturing Pete Rose."

Greatest line this year.

[Innovator]

Apparently Harold was Scorpio Sky, or Mason Andrews from TNA, who was just on Impact for Destination X.

[Cool King]

Wow, so he is.

[Cool King]

He was also a security guard. I don't know from when though. Judging by the ropes, maybe on ECW.

http://i54.tinypic.com/208f9mc.png

[Keith]

When Kane was speaking during his "Anger Management" thing, he reminded me of the Austin Powers scene where "Dr Evil" did the same.

"I grew up to be evil".

[Volare]

http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/ep_full/public/ep/image/2012/08/20120827_LARGE_raw_angermanagement_L.jpg

:yes:

[addy2hotty]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hslr2AnE-Vk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Facepalm Bryan wins everything.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Nah, he was too dark to look like Maven. Though I did think that Terry looked like a thinner Matt Groening.

Only slightly though. The eyebrows were what most reminded me of him.

[Scott Roberts]

I really enjoyed Bryan and Kane on this Raw, their anger management classes were Legendary!

[Big Vic]

Ryback vs Swag was Botch-tastic

[Lock Jaw]

http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/photo_large/public/photo/image/2012/08/RAW_1005_Photo_013.jpg

But Swaggy was just so enthused to be there.

[ClockShot]

God, I couldn't stick around for a whole first hour last night.

May have to start jumping into this at 9 like the old times, might make a difference.

[DaveBrawl]

I left for the gym around 9 and got back around 10, made the show a lot better with a break in the middle.

Gonna have to find the Rhodes and Kane/Bryan segments on Youtube though.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm officially a Kane mark now.

I really loved Bryan's "this is a bad idea" and Kane's "I dated a girl named Katie...but it didn't work out".

[#1-norm-fan]

lol Kane going over his life like that was fucking awesome.

[Tommy Gunn]

Rybotch looked bad against Swagger, don't know who's fault it was, but he's not ready for live TV.

Maybe Swagger was doing a Regal and making his opponent look shit before he get's future endeavoured.

[erickman]

Punk is quoting Andy kaufman's promos to Lawler.

i wish he would gone out to andys music, now they can put andy in the hall of fame.

[#1-norm-fan]

Rybotch looked bad against Swagger, don't know who's fault it was, but he's not ready for live TV.

Maybe Swagger was doing a Regal and making his opponent look shit before he get's future endeavoured.

Well in the beginning it looked like Ryback just slipped after one of the kicks.

The back body drop, it looked like Swagger just didn't even bother jumping for it.

Other than those two fuck ups, I really liked the match. I love how Swagger came out on the offensive. It was realistic. Ryback's been dominating everyone and it was like Swagger came out like "Fuck it, if I'm going out, I'm not gonna lay down." and just went after him. It was almost like he was testing out Ryback's stamina by actually initiating the brutality. It was interesting. Good storytelling for what amounted to a 2 minute squash.

[#1-norm-fan]

don't know who's fault it was, but he's not ready for live TV.

Just realized how ridiculous this statement is.

[Gertner]

All Swaggers Fault. Ryback is amazing. The only people bashing him are the workrate queers trying to cling onto vanilla midgets like Punk and Bryan who never draw.

[Krimzon7]

I wish Ryback would use the Clothesline as his finisher. It is so brutal and he can pull it off at any time, and against any opponent.
