[Aikido]

O shit, Double J reference, it was Rock who mentioned him, I see no repri
cussions coming from this.......love the crackhead story......

[Krimzon7]

HUSTLIN CRACKHEADS clap clap clap clap clap

[ClockShot]

I heard Double J out of all this and that's it so far.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Wish King and Cole would take their headsets off.

[Corndad]

Where the hell is this leading

[Droford]

Crack head is a shot at cm punk somehow

[#1-norm-fan]

I wonder if Rock couldn't be on Raw last week because he was working out this set out at an open mic last Monday.

[Cool King]

Ditch That Bitch.

[parkmania]

And this story couldn't wait until after Raw went off the air???

[Emperor Smeat]

Might be the most random story ever told on RAW.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

lol at that guy trying to talk along with the entire promo and even saying "from a crackhead..." along with Rock.

[PullMyFinger]

Only the Rock can tell a story like this and dominate the crowd. Talent right there folks.

[Rollermacka]

WOOO!!!! Workin in fleamarkets, on fairgrounds, for $40 a piece :D

[Krow]

That story would have been better if Norm MacDonald had told it.

[Cool King]

Awesome, Punk.

He can now call Rock a Nazi too.

[#1-norm-fan]

Punk ass!?!?!?

Bruno just changed his mind.

[parkmania]

That story would have been better if Norm MacDonald had told it.

You mean Mr. Safe Auto?

[#1-norm-fan]

That story would have been better if Norm MacDonald had told it.

He would have replaced "crackhead" with "crackwhore" and killed with it.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Cole and King's forced laughter every two seconds was annoying.</font>

[CSL]

Yes it does. It means you can take advantage of how bankable he is by having him in a match while not putting him in a huge title match at WrestleMania because he's a fuck up and could ruin shit in an instant.

the WHC match will probably roughly 4th in terms of "importance" of Mania matches. I also enjoy this notion that he's a "fuck up" via 2 suspensions in nearly 7 years

[Poit]

I expected Punk to grab the belt and run.

[The Condor]

That story would have been better if Norm MacDonald had told it.

Most spot on observation I've seen in sometime.

[parkmania]

Thank you Punk!

Thank you Punk!

Thank you Punk!

[Krimzon7]

This is amazing!!! steal the belt!

[Droford]

Feel like punk should be going "my precious" holding the belt

[PullMyFinger]

Best feud in years like I said. Gets better and better.

[#1-norm-fan]

Old school belt theft!

[Poit]

I expected Punk to grab the belt and run.

Well then.

[Krimzon7]

PUNK IS GAWD!!!

[Droford]

Cm punk new shirt

Just Take It

[KyleEmmott]

WTF I WANTED TAKER

[PullMyFinger]

The Rock has made CM Punk look more credible and better than anyone else has, not even Cena made Punk this legit.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

That was an alright Raw. Thought the Taker appearance went on a little too long for my liking though.

[Krimzon7]

CSL avi!!!!

[#1-norm-fan]

the WHC match will probably roughly 4th in terms of "importance" of Mania matches. I also enjoy this notion that he's a "fuck up" via 2 suspensions in nearly 7 years

Forgot that he didn't end up getting suspended for being on that list of guys who were ordering steroids online or whatever.

And one of the suspensions was not for drugs.

But two were.

Yeah, he's a fuck up.

[#1-norm-fan]

Meanwhile, like I said, there is absolutely no reason Jericho can't win the Elimination Chamber now that Ziggler isn't in it. It could EASILY be setting up Ziggler cashing in and Jericho winning the chamber to build a WrestleMania match between the two.

I'd put my money on that or Henry vs ADR.

[Bad News Gertner]

3MB got fast counted. Friggen bullshit.

[CSL]

Yeah, he's a fuck up.

in relation to the early drug suspension and the online stuff, if you want to call every wrestler that's ever taken some variety of steroid or growth hormone then the entire industry is pretty much one big fuck up. And do you even know what his latest suspension was for? The guy has been widely acknowledged by the most powerful people in the company as having completely turned his shit around since his "idiot" days when his first suspensions came about as well as having a spotless track record in the 6 years between his previous suspension and the last one. But do your thing mane

[CSL]

and I'd put my money on Orton. Possibly against Ziggler.

[Cool King]

I'd put my money on that or Henry vs ADR.

Could also be Swagger vs Del Rio, with this new gimmick Swagger showed signs of tonight.

[CSL]

went from not caring at all about Swagger to being really quite interested in the space of that one match/promo tonight, probably a bit too early/no momentum for the chamber tho

[The Condor]

Sign me up for a Jackie Swagger push

[#1-norm-fan]

And do you even know what his latest suspension was for?

Yes. It was for his second wellness violation. And one more would lead to him being immediately terminated. You can say what you want about how "people say he's cleaned up his act..." but the fact that he JUST failed 9 months ago is PROBABLY a pretty good reason why they've steered him clear of the title picture, instead using him to make guys who are in the title picture look good, and will probably continue to do so.

Congrats to him for "the most powerful people in the company" acknowledging that he turned his shit around for 6 years. Pretty sure "the most powerful people in the company" are the ones who suspended him last year for fucking up again and have kept him out of the title picture since... so... ya know... let's not act like "the most powerful people in the company" are very high on him at the moment.

[#1-norm-fan]

Could also be Swagger vs Del Rio, with this new gimmick Swagger showed signs of tonight.

That's a possibility too. If they're going for a challenger to Del Rio though, it seems like Henry's being groomed more for that spot at the moment.

yes, and given how sensitive WWE are nowadays in terms of the spotlight and PR and so forth because of things like the TV-PG related sponsors, the family image they've tried to attain and the going all out as a global brand, that even something like a false positive or a tainted supplement can lead to you failing a wellness test and they don't get reversed or overturned for the sake of the integrity of the policy/company.

Both titles have been "wrapped up" with long term champions the entire time he's been back until recently so that's simply not true, this is really the first chance he's had to get near the secondary belt. And you make it sound like the policy goes something along the lines of "Vince or Triple H get the test results, see who's failed, make a phone call and bin them for 30/60 days". It's an automatic thing, their hands are tied no matter what the reason for the failed test, they couldn't do anything about it even if they wanted to without pretty much destroying the entire policy.

[#1-norm-fan]

If the way the wellness policy is carried out is as flawed as you claim it is (I've never heard specific examples of people being wrongfully suspended while WWE's hands are tied but regardless...) then that would suck. They'd still be in the same issue of putting a lot of stock in a guy's hands who is on a thin rope.

He's definitely been used to make the current challenger/s look good at the time. Jobbing cleanly no less. He's definitely been specifically used for his star power since coming back. ADR even made him tap out clean while he was challenging for the title.

And I want Orton to be in the title picture. I think the guy is ridiculously valuable. He's got that "built in" overness and "it factor" now that they try and fail to FORCE on guys to get them over. I just think the company doesn't want to put him in a position where they could be left scrambling so easily. Especially when there are so many "safer" options that could do a great job in that spot.

[#1-norm-fan]

Orton vs Sheamus could be an amazing "undercard" match for a stacked WrestleMania.

Gonna need a 2nd look at that AJ spot.

It's weird that there was no stip added to ADR vs Big Show tonight. Two Last Man Standing matches, then the feud starts picking up and getting hot and it comes to a head with a regular one on one match? Seems so backwards.

[whiteyford]

Never hated Cena as much as when the lights went out and instead of 'Taker there he was when they came back on :'(

[whiteyford]

But at least Bo Dallas is smacking bitches around.

[Shisen Kopf]

I couldn't see Cena when the lights went out. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[whiteyford]

Oh you rascal.

[Shisen Kopf]

Did like Zeb Coulter's speech. By far best part of the night was his promo. Jack Swagger might be my new favorite rassler. Goddamn immigrants!

[parkmania]

Feels like this could be the way more feuds are going: I beat you in a match with "my stipulations", you beat me with "your stipulations", then we have a straight-up match to settle who the real winner is.

[whiteyford]

Still Smackdown to go though.

[Keith]

It was very Republican. I'm waiting for WWE to do a promo that goes like "...So God made a Swagger".

It also makes sense, in that Del Rio won in two matches where trickery can help someone pull off a win against a stronger opponent. Now, he has to win without such tricks.

[Flash Funk]

That clearly was not Vince on the phone. Someone will get Rock DQed, Punk and Heyman celebrate, HHH comes out and restarts the match. Rock wins and faces Cena.

Leads to Brock/Punk vs. HHH/Taker at Mania. And the more I think about it, the better that sounds.

I also like Jericho vs. Ziggler for the WHC, Del Rio vs. Henry, Big Show vs. Ryback, and Sheamus vs. Orton.

Still a lot of people left off... The Shield, Hell No, Barrett, Cesaro, Miz

It sounded just like Vince....

But regardless, I think Punk wins, Rock invokes rematch clause, boom, triple threat at mania.

[Flash Funk]

Why would Vince agree to anything that would benefit Paul/Punk?

[Volchok]

Punk calling with a Vince soundboard?

[Shadrick]

Why would Vince agree to anything that would benefit Paul/Punk?

...extremely possible that the storyline arch will focus on Heyman. He DID say that he would do ANYTHING to get that stipulation added...

..but this is why...as they say...we continue to watch the show.

[erickman]

like to think Cole and King were laughing at Vince saying "motherfucker" over the headset when Rock mentioned Jarrett

so does aces and 8's raid wrestlemaina, that would be a good suprise.

Team Hell No vs The Shield for the tag titles. They'll be able to fit everyone in. Especially if they put MITB back on WM like they planned last year.

[mike adamle]

Hopefully at Elimination Chamber Punk beats The Rock via Cena interference gone wrong when Brock Lesnar interferes. Cena then tells Punk this isn't about the belt anymore, he wants to get rid of Lesnar once and for good! And Lesnar wants his loss avenged making perfect sense. On the other side, you've got Streak vs. Streak- Punk vs. Taker.

[Lock Jaw]

Where is the second streak? :?:

[#1-norm-fan]

I think Mike Adamle thinks Punk still has the title. He hasn't been paying attention. Which is probably why he thinks Punk-Rock is the best feud in years.

Well to be fair, Punk/Rock was booked almost to perfection

[#1-norm-fan]

"Go shoot some promos, you guys."

[#1-norm-fan]

I mean... it's a great idea. I wouldn't really praise the booking like there was some genius twists and turns though.
