[GSP]

why is kane bleeding?

[ClockShot]

Miz is making this sound like's he done this before.

[Shisen Kopf]

Seth has his pants around his ankles right now.

[owenbrown]

WWE Creative Humor @WWECreative_ish (https://twitter.com/WWECreative_ish) If you vote to see Kane and @WWEDanielBryan (https://twitter.com/WWEDanielBryan) hug, you're part of the problem. #RAWTonight (https://twitter.com/search/%23RAWTonight)

[LoDownM]

[Droford]

Be a star, #hug it out

It's fucking awesome.

[Rollermacka]

[KyleEmmott]

[Keith]

Well, it was fucking awesome.

[Droford]

NOW A TAG TEAM

If ptp comes out we'll know the common bond they share lol

[KyleEmmott]

SPOKE TO SOON?

[Corndad]

Run in from Harold!!

[Rollermacka]

Run in from Harold!!

Harold wants to be the meat in a Kane/ Bryan sandwich

[Droford]

There should be a falls count nowhere match

[#1-norm-fan]

There should be a falls count nowhere match

I think we just saw one with Bryan and Kane.

That'd be amazing

[ClockShot]

Why's Santino getting another crack at this?

Could have sworn he already used his re-match.

[Droford]

Lol..cesaro shaved his legs

[ClockShot]

And we're back.

[el bobbo]

How did the server crash?

[Corndad]

Sad Fact. Hug it out "Match" lasted longer then World Title Defense at Wrestlemania.

[ClockShot]

CALL THE COPS! WE GOT A HOSTAGE SITUATION!

[Corndad]

Ryder wins and all is better in the world and with the Server

[el bobbo]

Sad Fact. Hug it out "Match" lasted longer then World Title Defense at Wrestlemania.

DID YOU KNOW???!!!!

+ rep for you.

I think Miz has done a fantastic job tonight.

I'd rather have Cole/Miz than Cole/Lawler.

[Corndad]

HAHAHAA Ripping on the Clint Eastwood deal

[el bobbo]

I think Miz has done a fantastic job tonight.

I'd rather have Cole/Miz than Cole/Lawler.

I think Cole on his own does a great service to the show, but that's just for really good matches ala Ziggler/Orton...

Let's see where this goes.

[Innovator]

Wow, finally a topical reference

[Innovator]

AJ's ass is incredible

[ClockShot]

HEY VICKIE, MAKE MY DAY!

[owenbrown]

So she is gonna quit and attack Vickie?

[el bobbo]

Young girls/women love AJ. Dont expect her to go anywhere anytime soon.

[Corndad]

Slap Her #Beastar

[el bobbo]

AJ's ass is incredible

I had to do a double take right there. And upon my expert consideration:

Yes. Yes it is incredible.

[Droford]

I'm sorry you're old and at and only have a job because eddy died

[Innovator]

You know, she could just fire Vickie

[#1-norm-fan]

The board has decided her actions have been juvenile. Not at all what they expected when they put a random chick with barely any experience in the business and well documented mental issues in the role of GM.

[#1-norm-fan]

You know, she could just fire Vickie

That would be quite juvenile.

[ClockShot]

Careful Vickie, she might turn green.

[el bobbo]

Vickie has the MOST evil laugh.

[Droford]

You know, she could just fire Vickie

Doesn't she have a real life iron clad contract

[#1-norm-fan]

Alright, NOW she can fire Vickie. This is ridiculous. And not good ridiculous like Bryan and Kane hugging.

[ClockShot]

RAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWR! AJ SMASH!

[Cool King]

AJ must be on her period.

[Innovator]

Doesn't she have a real life iron clad contract

Firings don't stick, but it's ridiculous that a GM would sit there and take abuse from an employee

[el bobbo]

Seriously.

If they want to get young, nerdy, strong girls into the product.... AJ.

[el bobbo]

Seriously.

If they want to get young, nerdy, strong girls into the product.... AJ.

They're doing an excellent job, way better than any of the god damn Divas.

[el bobbo]

Give the nerd guys at home a spank bank image and give the girls someone to look up to.

WHERE'S DAMIEN SANDOW?!

[Cool King]

Listen to those boos.

[ClockShot]

Sweet. Sheamus is gettin' sued!

[Cool King]

Otunga looks naked.

[Cool King]

I get the feeling either Punk or Sheamus will appear from Del Rio's car and cost their NOC opponent the match.

[KyleEmmott]

What does WWE see in Del Rio? He's so bland no matter what he says or does

[Droford]

Sweet. Sheamus is gettin' sued!

Ricardo is going to end up with more money than del Rio..hi jinx vignettes a la "anger management with Kane and d-bry" will ensue

[el bobbo]

What does WWE see in Del Rio? He's so bland no matter what he says or does

The Latino market? but he is a mexican elitist, so I have no fucking idea.

[ClockShot]

Corner poles and steel steps are earning their pay tonight.

[ClockShot]

RANDY SAVAGE SIGHTING!

[Droford]

Corner poles and steel steps are earning their pay tonight.

Corner poles? Really? Really? Really?

[Cool King]

The biggest pop Cena's had tonight is by high fiving Randy Savage.

[owenbrown]

Chicago needs to pull a WCW Nitro and throw shit into the ring when Cena wins

[Droford]

A Mexican guy should be in an I quit match..keep on saying I quit in Spanish but never lose..

[owenbrown]

Someone getting pinned on the car

[Corndad]

Still Think Punk shows up

[ClockShot]

I hope that car is bought and paid for......

[Cool King]

Sheamus has a bad arm. Del Rio's finisher is a Cross Armbreaker.

Del Rio is beginning to have a bad knee. Sheamus is beginning to use the Texas Cloverleaf.

HMMMMMMMMMMMM....

[Corndad]

Sweet shit.

[ClockShot]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Cool King]

Punk gets a backhander from the ref.

[owenbrown]

O NOES SUPER CENA'S ELBOWS BUSTED OPEN

[Droford]

Uh the fyck oh

[ClockShot]

PAULY!

[Corndad]

Heyman!!!!

[owenbrown]

PAUL E!

[el bobbo]

HEYMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[#1-norm-fan]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT DID I JUST SEE WHAT I THINK I SAW!?!?!?!

[Droford]

New dangerous alliance!

[Cool King]

FUCKING HEYMAN!

[Droford]

Swags, punk and lesnar

[#1-norm-fan]

This was what was meant by the "They have no idea what they're in for" tweet from Punk to Heyman a couple months ago. Awesome.

[Corndad]

Fuck Yes. Next 3 hour show 1 1/2 hours can be Kane and Bryan videos and the other 1 1/2 can be a Punk/Paul E. Promo.

[Cool King]

I was wondering who was driving the car after Punk spoke to AJ.

I saw him get into the passenger side and I became curious.

[el bobbo]

USA USA USA USA

[Droford]

The alliance to end cenamania

[Cool King]

Swags, punk and lesnar

I hope so.

[Droford]

I hope so.

Jericho "left" her too but I doubt that matters

[el bobbo]

The last 30 seconds of Raw were better than the first 3 hours 14 minutes and 30 seconds.

[#1-norm-fan]

Maybe Heyman can help bring some life to this heel Punk character. It was already becoming bland and generic "disrespected heel".

[McLegend]

Whoever thought of permanent 3 hour Raws should be fired.

[#1-norm-fan]

Whoever thought of permanent 3 hour Raws should be fired.

Fired for making more money for the company. Genius.

[Lock Jaw]

Anger Management segments were great, including the Hug It Out match. Also, Tina was hot.

[Lock Jaw]

Apparently this happened after the show

http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/7/79111/2308745-tumblr_m9t2trcR7r1r9fn1ro1_500_super.jpg

[#1-norm-fan]

I looked away and just saw the clothes and tassels as Cena and del Rio were walking away. So... that WAS actually Macho Man's ghost, right?

[#1-norm-fan]

Miz should make a great commentator when he's ready to retire, by the way.

[James Steele]

While I don't think CM Punk's heel run is stale, I am certainly intrigued as to where this Paul Heyman thing will go.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/7/79111/2308745-tumblr_m9t2trcR7r1r9fn1ro1_500_super.jpg

I thought he was going to end up being Punk doing a run-in on the match.

Remember when Punk said he was a Paul Heyman guy in his July '11 promo? Fucking sweet development.

[#1-norm-fan]

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1201295-wwe-news-paul-heyman-and-cm-punk-tease-one-wild-fn-year

Just over three months ago

[Keith]

You've got to hand it to WWE, none of us thought Paul Heyman would be the driver.

I like to be surprised once in a while.

[MIZantine Empire]

Brock lesnar left me, Chris Jericho left me, cm punk left me..

Random fan- "you left Daniel Bryan"
That made me lol

[DaVe]

Wow. Interesting developments coming from Raw; did like the way each segment tied into the next one and furthered the angles.

[Keith]

WWE wouldn't have Heyman and Punk turn on Brock Lesnar in order to have Punk/Lesnar for Survivor Series, would they?

I mean, Lesnar was proclaimed as "Lord of the Ring", and CM Punk calls himself "Best in the World", and now Punk is with Heyman, and...

NAH. It's not gonna happen.

And then have a face Brock Lesnar go on to the Royal Rumble, win the Royal Rumble match, and go on to headline WrestleMania 29?

NAH. Never gonna happen.

[#1-norm-fan]

I can't see Lesnar turning face. Rock is headlining WrestleMania 29 with the title so if he faces Lesnar, Lesnar's pretty much gotta go in as the heel.

[Keith]

Rock is going to defend against Punk, allegedly.

[#1-norm-fan]

Though I suppose Cena could cost Rock the title at the Rumble and go on to face Rock in a rematch at WM without the title on the line while Punk faces Lesnar. Even then I don't know how it would work out face/heel-wise.

I have no idea where they're headed as far as WrestleMania.

[#1-norm-fan]

Rock is going to defend against Punk, allegedly.

At WrestleMania?

[Keith]

I wonder if Heyman and Punk will form a stable called "Revolution" or something.

[Keith]

At WrestleMania?

I'd think so.

No one knows for sure, of course. But that's what I've read.

[#1-norm-fan]

I can't see that either. There's no "bang" to Rock having already won the title at the Royal Rumble just to walk in as champ and just make a defense against a heel Punk.

[Keith]

I don't even know what's going on. All I know is I want next Monday to arrive.

[Jordan]

Paul Heyman's Dangerous Alliance - CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, and The Dudley Boys... fuckin make it happen WWE

[#1-norm-fan]

Paul Heyman's Dangerous Alliance - CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, and The Dudley Boys... fuckin make it happen WWE

That stable gives me a wrestling nerd boner.

[Tom Guycott]

Just watched it. Just loved it.

Makes me wonder, is Thwagger a "Heyman guy" too?

[#1-norm-fan]

I think Swagger is a "JR guy".

[Swish]

Punk: Hey Paul, how about giving us a lift to the motel?.

Paul: Sure

Punk: We can play mind games with the fans (they'll think I'm working with you).

Paul: How about a bottle of pepsi?.


Can't you see the angle here?.

Brock/Punk and someone else vs DX or

Brock/Punk vs HBK/HHH

It's got money wirtten all over it.

[slik]

As a whole I was not a fan but the ending caught me off-guard and I think Heyman/Punk has possibilities.

[Swish]

The ending was pretty sweet though tbh, WWE haven't had
a stable war since 1999.

Evolution? ECW? WCW? NXT?

I could go on but seriously?

[Swish]

And your stalking me now *creepy*......

I'm on about a real good stable war. DX vs Nation etc.

you were not obviously born in the 90s :).

[slik]

I'm responding to the latest posts.

Classify that as however you would prefer.

A good stable war happened when the whole of WWE was facing off against the NXT rookies.

That was shit, you never watched the attitude era.

Corporation/DX/Nation/Ministry etc those were the days.

[slik]

I did indeed watch the attitude era, don't deflect a discussion because you don't have a proper comeback.

Back to the discussion at hand, RAW was ok but I did enjoy the end as a whole and am curious to see where they will go with that angle.

Nexus was a stable but the WWE Locker Room wasn't although WWECW had the New Breed vs The Originals

[Swish]

What if AJ is apart of this Paul/Punk/Brock stable?

Then we could have an Invasion 2: The Invasion Continues :)
This would be fucking awesome.

[Joesgonnakillyou]

Stop talking about stables because you're all only gonna end up disappointed!
(although saying that a Lesnar/Punk Survivor Series team vs a WWE team makes me very exicited. As does the thought of them being a two man power trip kind of deal)

It's a forum, I'm allowed to talk about anything :). and your talking about a stable so shut up.

[MIZantine Empire]

guys, can we stop arguing, and start talking about how aksana wasnt wearing a bra?

[Joesgonnakillyou]

and I wasn't sure if i was gonna bother watching all of Raw!

[Volare]

Watching Raw now...Cesaro's new theme fits him great. Miz on commentary is pretty awesome....pun intended.

[Volare]

I'd figured the Chi-town crowd would be chanting Claudio...I do here the "hey!" though in the crowd.

[Volare]

Miz = Gold...I want Miz and Punk to commentate together.

[Volare]

Loved the final segments with Heyman...now I can't wait for next week. Shit's about to get fun again I can feel it.

[Corndad]

Daniel Bryan appeared on a post-RAW video on WWE.com where he was grabbing people to give hugs to in an effort to show that Kane was the person who screwed up the “hug it out” segment on Raw. Link below...

[Lock Jaw]

Imagine if people still thought wrestling was real, and took everything on the program at face value.

WWE stock would be so low because of the seeming ineptness and inconsistencies with the "Board of Directors". Ever since Vince got removed from power, really.

This could be an incredible gimmick though.

Like I said, Daniel Bryan is over like a MF'er.

I hope they don't have him go the "Santino route", though. Bryan can go with all the top stars in WWE, he's World Champion material still.

I'd prefer Santino go the Daniel Bryan route and actually start wrestling and show off some skill while being comedy relief as well.

Good to see Paul Heyman will now be Punk's mouthpiece. These vanilla midgets needs all the help they can get. Maybe he'll finally draw ratings.
