So winner gets Steph?? Brock better freaking win now

[KyleEmmott]

The winner gets Stephanie??

[Damndirty]

#poorheyman

[dronepool]

#Thatchairlookedpainful

[Droford]

#TSC MATCH! lol

[Corndad]

#Chair Match?

[#1-norm-fan]

Jesus. That chair throw could have fucked Heyman up pretty badly. Pretty dumb of Triple H.

#AssholeMove

[Cool King]

lol you're a bit late Brock.

#toolate

[Damndirty]

Stipulation should also be that if HHH wins, he #getssable

[Corndad]

Brock Lesnar #EasiestPaycheckever

[Crimson]

How about Sable and Steph wrestle naked

[#1-norm-fan]

Ugh. They're gonna hold off on announcing it aren't they? It better be something incredible now.

#Anticipation

[KyleEmmott]

Well, the announcers are acting like the stipulation isn't Stephanie?

[Savio]

Bra and Panties!

[Crimson]

Aww damn I preferd a winner got Steph match

[Droford]

lol

No Holds Barred..big whoop

#whatcareer?

[Corporate CockSnogger]

lol my stream froze. What's the stip?

[KyleEmmott]

What's the difference between No holds barred & No disqualification?

[Damndirty]

#seenthatbutitscool

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Shitty match idea, great stipulation.

[Cool King]

It feels really likely that Triple H will lose now.

#hmm

[#1-norm-fan]

lol my stream froze. What's the stip?

lol. My stream stopped right when he said "Oh yeah. I almost forgot..."

[Damndirty]

how many #brockappearances are left in his contract?

[Droford]

They should bar a few holds just for the fun of it #whynot

Barred holds = #pedigree #runningkneelift

[Savio]

0

[#1-norm-fan]

What did Heyman say after "No Holds Barred"?

[Cool King]

It's a no holds barred match but Triple H's career is also on the line.

[#1-norm-fan]

#infoforiginfestand#1-wwf-fan

... So it's the same exact match they had at SummerSlam.

Well that was certainly worth the hype.

#Letdown

[slik]

#HHHTakerCenaWins

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol nobody gave two shits when HHH spoke.

[#1-norm-fan]

HHH winning just became significantly less of a lock though.

[#1-norm-fan]

I can see Brock winning but Triple H then getting in a sledgehammer beatdown post-match as a last "hoo-rah".

[Droford]

HHH's career is technically his being COO or whatever it is.

Brock's gettin him a cushy office job and taking over again

[Damndirty]

I wanna see a #BrockvsBatista match next Mania

[Lock Jaw]

Best part of RAW tonight was them going all out with Fandango's entrance. Wrestlemania-quality entrance right there.

[Cool King]

I loved Fandango's entrance.

#awesomegiantlogo

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

What did Heyman say after "No Holds Barred"?

HHH's career is on the line.

[Lock Jaw]

HHH's career is on the line.

"What?! You mean I won't be able to wrestle twice a year anymore?!"

[Cool King]

I get the feeling that what Heyman means by "career" is Triple H's in-ring career but also his COO position.

Triple could lose at WrestleMania and Paul Heyman or Lesnar or some heel could take the COO spot and become some on screen villian.

#justathought

[Cool King]

Actually I would love if that happened and then either some time down the line or the next night on Raw, we were presented with the fantastic return of Mr. John Laurinaitis.

#peoplepower

[Lock Jaw]

I think that is something they would have made overt, though.

Although tonight was evidence that they can change their minds at the drop of a hat.

No idea why they did that whole deal with putting Ryback in the 6-man match and then just going "NAH" and putting him against Henry with the laziest of writing.

[#1-norm-fan]

I thought it was so that Orton and Sheamus would be stuck without a partner and Big Show could be like "Fuck you guys for not making me your first choice."

It doesn't seem like that was the case though.

[Lock Jaw]

Just the way they did it.... lazily having Vicky randomly pull Ryback out of the match to face Henry rather than giving it an actual story reason for Ryback to really want to go after Henry instead.

[Droford]

"What?! You mean I won't be able to wrestle twice a year anymore?!"
twice a year? hes probably on the Taker plan of once a year now.

[#1-norm-fan]

Far be it for me of all people to try to defend WWE's booking being the laziest writing in the history of television. I tried though. I think the whole story falls just slightly below main event level right now though which makes the writers not give enough of a shit about it to put too much effort in.

[Damndirty]

So is Brock backing out of WWE (again) after Mania? #leaveswhenitgetstoughuknow

[#1-norm-fan]

They're seriously going all out with Fandango. I seriously hope this is WWE actually seeing what I've seen in the great JC since NXT and not him just being the newest random guy to get a short-term push and then forgotten about.

[#1-norm-fan]

Completely forgot about Jericho being on Dancing with the Stars. FEUD AMO! FEUD AMO!

[Bad News Gertner]

No Brad Maddox. Does this company not ratings?

[James Steele]

WrestleMania XXIX could potentially be the darkest day in the history of professional wrestling.

[#1-norm-fan]

No Brad Maddox. Does this company not ratings?

Surely he needed a break to go perform in a Shakespeare play somewhere.

[James Steele]

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck, I don't like this stipulation.

[#1-norm-fan]

Now you know how I felt when HBK put his career on the line against Taker. Prepare for 3 weeks of trying to convince yourself the stipulation was just to add drama and there's actually a chance he could go over.

[Bad News Gertner]

HHH should just retire in general. He got zero response tonight.

[James Steele]

Now you know how I felt when HBK put his career on the line against Taker. Prepare for 3 weeks of trying to convince yourself the stipulation was just to add drama and there's actually a chance he could go over.

I did the same thing in that match, but this is a much much more dire situation.

[Heisenberg]

It's been too long since we've seen a Stone Cold Stunner performed on RAW, that is fuckin' sad as piss.

[#1-norm-fan]

I did the same thing in that match, but this is a much much more dire situation.

No it's not. HHH is still gonna be part of the company. I miss HBK. :'(

Also, HBK is the greatest of all time.

[#1-norm-fan]

It's been too long since we've seen a Stone Cold Stunner performed on RAW, that is fuckin' sad as piss.

Well that was random.

[Rammsteinmad]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOOKER T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been saying for years now how I feel he's one of the most "underrated legends" in the WWE. This is awesome, am really happy now. :D

[Rammsteinmad]

The Triple H/Lesnar match seems quite interesting now. I like how everyone was saying how supposedly obvious it was Triple H was going to "get his win back", and now everyone's saying he may actually lose. Could be WWE swerving us, knowing how the internet fans will think H is retiring or something.

[#1-norm-fan]

Could be that, too. The match could go either way. Fuck anyone who goes with "UGH, THIS BUILD UP SUCKS BECAUSE IT'S SO OBVIOUS ____ IS GONNA WIN." There's no telling.

Anyway, as for the HOF, it seems like they're really stacking this HOF class. Like... for a reason. It seems like they know a lot of younger, more casual fans are gonna be like "Bruno Sammartino?!?! I thought the HOF was supposed to have a REAL headliner." so they're trying to stack the "undercard" with more recent legends.

I seriously forgot Trish was being inducted a few weeks ago. And then I forgot again a few more times since then. She's entirely too big of a name to be such a lower level inductee. It's weird.

[Mr. Nerfect]

If it's just Triple H's career on the line, I assume that Shawn Michaels will help Triple H win. #dxmerchandise It makes no sense that there seems to be no power grab from Heyman here, though. He should totally have laid a stipulation that he gets to take over when Triple H loses. Maybe Heyman will add more next week, because he's just an asshole like that.

Also, it seems that the WWE is actually going forward with a Jericho vs. Fandango feud? Fucking hell, I am actually somewhat excited about that. Johnny Curtis is a good worker and charismatic as all hell. I'm glad that there is a chance the WWE are going to give him a shot at being a heavy player and not just making him a comedy heel act. I kind of wish that he had attacked Jericho and taken him out of the Triple Threat Match though. Or that Jericho had won the IC Title and put it on the line against Curtis at WrestleMania. If Fandango beats Jericho at WrestleMania, it could legitimately be one of the biggest upsets ever. Instant star made. A five-minute match where Curtis merely surprises us and then loses would be more than enough to get him over though.

It seems like they're going forward with Rhodes & Sandow vs. Kofi & Truth too. Is it possible that they could be added to the Tag Team Title Match? Seems weird that Langston has somehow earned a WrestleMania spot. He should probably go over both Bryan and Kane in singles matches heading into the PPV.

[#1-norm-fan]

After all this time, Noid and myself are on the same page on something.

Johnny Curtis is fucking ridiculously talented.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Apparently there were "You can't wrestle" chants aimed at Fandango on RAW? Can you imagine the moment where Curtis reveals to the world that he can wrestle? Who would be better to help that moment than Chris Jericho?

[Schlomey]

Stipulation should also be that if HHH wins, he #getssable

Read that as #assplay




Worst raw in a long time. Didn't really like....anything. Lazy booking.

[James Steele]

How the fuck can you all complain about lazy booking when they have given rise to the idea that Triple H will never wrestle again? Come the fuck on. The Roddy Piper of this generation may leave us forever. WHY?

[The Condor]

That show last night was all over the place, but entertaining in several areas. The opening was bizarre and out of nowhere, but I enjoyed the hell out of Titus. Some matches were crap but I just don't know. They made strides towards WM with a lot of guys, and also had 2 outstanding matches with Cody/ADR and the IC title match. The aftermath of the ADR match with Zeb and Swagger was good too. The crowd, once again, was mostly dead especially for the HHH/Brock segment. And I'm sick of the goddamn sign pointing. We fucking get it!

[The Condor]

Off my soapbox

[Savio]

PRETTY WEAK BUILD TO THE WWE TITLE MATCH

[James Steele]

I was surprised the Pittsburgh crowd sucked so bad. I thought the show was pretty good, and a good crowd would have helped it immensely. Chanting "USA" at ADR and Swagger shows what kind of smart ass crowd this ass. Typical Pittsburgh trash. Surprised Ben Roethlisburger didn't do a cameo and attempt to force himself on a diva.

[Lock Jaw]

Gonna pull a James Steele here and go on the record with saying that Triple H has the best entrance of all time.

The music, the lighting, the camera movements (that 360 at the bottom of the ramp), the water spit (timed to coincide as the music swells again after a "quiet" part), the poses.... it is all so highly polished and badass.

[James Steele]

Agreed. Triple H's entrance oozes intensity and "big fight atmosphere".

[Lock Jaw]

Second place is obviously Fandango. :shifty:

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Correction guys, he had the best entrance of all time. Fandango completely outdid it.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Dammit, Lock Jaw

[Savio]

Surprised Ben Roethlisburger didn't do a cameo and attempt to force himself on a diva.
I'm sure he did at least one of those things.

[Lock Jaw]

Speaking of ADR, I disliked his remixed theme greatly. They could have at least left in the little intro bit.

[Cool King]

I thought his theme sounded a bit like this #mashup I posted months ago.

Because it was a 3 hour show and I literally fast forwarded through about 2 to 2 1/2 of it because it was fucking lame. Too much talking and bollocks.

Still on the Ben stuff Steele. Cmon buddy you have to have newer material then that lol

Being at last few live shows there it was really loud. Hell there was a "You killed Santa" chant started for god sakes and that was after they already taped a whole Smackdown show there. Didn't come off as a good crowd last night will admit but not sure if TV not doing it justice or just the show got off to such a crappy start with squash matches and crowd never got into it.

From guys who went to show I talked to agreed but said was really loud for Jericho match so who knows. Guess I'll have to make an appearance and get the crowd going next time. lol

Also was surprised wasn't a Bruno sighting last night being in area.

i liked the you can't wrestle chants, i almost thought garet bischoff was in the ring.

[NormanSmiley]

raw summation:

mgmnt does not like darren young

ziggles talents wasted in a throw away tag match likely curtain jerking

fandago is created by mixing rico with val venis's voice

nattie has had some work done

and John Cena is dressed nightly by stevie wonder

[#1-norm-fan]

Management shouldn't like Darren Young. He's ridiculously clueless on the mic.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I've never liked Darren Young as much as I feel I should. I dunno why, the guy is a perfectly serviceable talent. He just doesn't work as well as others, I guess. I feel the same about Zack Ryder these days. :-\

[Savio]

He has a perfect fro though

[Shadrick]

I like how Darren plays off of Titus and vice versa. But if you were to split them, obviously, I gotta firm belief that Titus would be the one who'd be more successful.
