RAW - June 24th edition - starring CM Punk and Iginfest's Birthday

[311]

Junior.

[Savio]

It does?

Didn't Cena and Eddie once have a street fight that didn't end in the ring because there was none and the "ring" was just a set of cars in a circle.
That was a Latino street fight.

[Droford]

Rob Van Dam almost has to end up being a hey man guy right?

[Immortal Moose]

Does it? I'm sure I've seen street fights with pinfalls or at least attempts outside.

Yea, I'm pretty sure it does, at least nowadays. FCA is the way to go.

[Poit]

Technically, you should get DQ'd if you use a weapon in a FCA match

I don't think so.

There was a lot of weapon use in the DX/Legacy submissions count anywhere match. I'd imagine a regular falls count anywhere match would work similarly.

[Mr. Nerfect]

* Cena vs. Henry

* Del Rio vs. Ziggler

* Money in the Bank Ladder Match

* Ryback vs. Jericho

* The Shield vs. The Usos

Shaping up to be a pretty good PPV. I expect Axel vs. The Miz and AJ vs. Kaitlyn to be added -- or maybe something with AJ teaming up with The Bellas to face Kaitlyn, Natalya & Layla.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Will there be a World Heavyweight Title MITB? It'll look jobberific compared to the lineup for the WWE Title one.</font>

[Mr. Nerfect]

It's just the one Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

[Corndad]

Henry Suitin it up again.

[Bad News Gertner]

Chris Jericho is going to make Ryback look good on PPV.

Other way around. Ryback's gonna have trouble carrying Jericho to a go match. It's hard with these overthehill wrestlers who should just leave. I still think Ryback has it in him.

[Mr. Nerfect]

They're focusing way too much on Henry acting.

[Droford]

Last time d-bry had the mitb, mark Henry softened up the champ for him to cash in on..dun dun dunnnnnn

[Immortal Moose]

Other way around. Ryback's gonna have trouble carrying Jericho to a go match. It's hard with these overthehill wrestlers who should just leave. I still think Ryback has it in him.

Overthehill like Zumhofe?

[Mr. Nerfect]

No apologies from Mark because the WWE Championship is worth it. Nice sell.

[Corndad]

Just realized only 7 were announced for MITB match. Weird number maybe will add one more. Not sure who would after Jericho and Ryback already in a match but seems weird to have 7.

[Bad News Gertner]

Zumhofe has yet to hit his prime. Just like the daughter he molested 15 years ago. Molest on Zumhofe!

[Droford]

<font color=goldenrod>Will there be a World Heavyweight Title MITB? It'll look jobberific compared to the lineup for the WWE Title one.</font>

Make it guys that have been low level champs but never whc.

Cessaro, Barrett, Axel, Rhodes..ambrose

[Evil Vito]

It's just the one Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

<font color=goldenrod>Did they actually say that though? I mean we all know the WHW title is the secondary belt, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to basically acknowledge it.

The WWE title one is all faces. So for a WHW title MITB I guess you could go with:

Antonio Cesaro
Dean Ambrose
Fandango
The Miz
R-Truth
Sin Cara
Wade Barrett

Scraping the bottom of the barrel for leftover faces. Figure a heel would win it, though. If Fandango's not ready, maybe Swagger can come back in.</font>

[KyleEmmott]

I love that Bray Wyatt theme.

[Bad News Gertner]

Fuck that's the best Wyatt promo yet

[Mr. Nerfect]

Stephanie McMahon called it "the" Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a shot at a championship. I do find seven people in the Ladder Match an odd number. I think Antonio Cesaro should get in.

[Bad News Gertner]

Ugh why is Christian in the MITB match? 6 big stars and this scrub.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It will be a pretty amazing Ladder Match. I'm thinking Daniel Bryan wins and uses the title shot to face Cena at SummerSlam.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I wonder what Dean Ambrose is going to do at the PPV?

[el bobbo]

Fiesta Del Rio sounds good.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Fiesta Del Rio! That will get people watching SmackDown.

[#1-norm-fan]

Fiesta Del Rio
Dublin Street Fight

SMACKDOWN INTERNATIONAL!

[Droford]

Not come as you are

[Bad News Gertner]

I wonder what Dean Ambrose is going to do at the PPV?

Order it on PPV.

[Droford]

Yay busted open for 5

[Droford]

Oh my

[Mr. Nerfect]

Jesus Christ, a chair shot to the head? Isn't that fineable?

[GD]

Chair to the skull? Thought that was banned.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol Orton will never learn

[Droford]

Jesus Christ, a chair shot to the head? Isn't that fineable?

Anything can happen in the world wrestling...entertainment

[Corndad]

Well least Punk will be in a better mood now the Hawks won the Stanley Cup

[Mr. Nerfect]

Would love to see Team Hell No vs. Randy Orton & Sheamus at some point heading into Money in the Bank.

[Droford]

Now he throws the chair

[Corndad]

Random Thought. When was the last time Orton Main Event Raw? Been a while.

[el bobbo]

Fucking sick powerbomb from Daniel Bryan.

[Droford]

Daniel Bryan with a power bomb!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Powerbomb through the table!

[Droford]

Oh wow

[#1-norm-fan]

So it is falls in the ring as the only difference.

So the audience basically just really wants to see the fall happen in the ring. It is very important to them. lol

[Poit]

So it is falls in the ring as the only difference.

So the audience basically just really wants to see the fall happen in the ring. It is very important to them. lol

So, is there any difference between a street fight and a no-DQ match?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Always enjoy Street Fights more than Falls Count Anywhere Matches.

[Mr. Nerfect]

So, is there any difference between a street fight and a no-DQ match?

You can get counted out in a No DQ. Now. It never used to be that way.

[Droford]

Charleston adapts the boo yay spot lol..yes no

[#1-norm-fan]

Always enjoy Street Fights more than Falls Count Anywhere Matches.

lol What?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Fucking hell!

[Mr. Nerfect]

lol What?

I enjoy the Street Fight style more than "walk around punching each other for ten minutes."

[Droford]

I want to start a "rip his beard off"chant

[#1-norm-fan]

So, is there any difference between a street fight and a no-DQ match?

What Noid said.

However a falls count anywhere match and a hardcore match would be the same I guess.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The rules would be similar, but Hardcore Matches usually include a bit more plunder.

[Poit]

You can get counted out in a No DQ. Now. It never used to be that way.

What Noid said.

However a falls count anywhere match and a hardcore match would be the same I guess.

Ah, right.

[#1-norm-fan]

I enjoy the Street Fight style more than "walk around punching each other for ten minutes."

But "falls count anywhere" doesn't mean "walk around punching each other for ten minutes." You can literally do the same exact things in both matches... except you can pin someone anywhere in the falls count anywhere match.

[dronepool]

YES!

[Droford]

Daniel Bryan isn't the weak link! Hooray

[Corndad]

Daniel Bryan just won the main event of Raw. Good God this excites me.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Orton taps!

[#1-norm-fan]

Come on Wyatt Family!

[Savio]

Whoa Orton tapped?

[Mr. Nerfect]

But "falls count anywhere" doesn't mean "walk around punching each other for ten minutes." You can literally do the same exact things in both matches... except you can pin someone anywhere in the falls count anywhere match.

Yeah, but it doesn't work that way.

[Savio]

hmm I expected some sort of extra thing at the end

[slik]

Very refreshing to see RAW end with someone else the main focus outside of Punk/Cena/HHH/Lesnar

[Droford]

Its the summer of the beard

[#1-norm-fan]

Hmm. Felt like something was gonna happen at the end there. The match was good but it felt like it should have happened mid-show. Wasn't "main eventy".

[Mr. Nerfect]

Will Daniel Bryan win Money in the Bank and then face Cena at SummerSlam, do you think? Cena vs. Bryan for the WWE Title and Lesnar vs. Punk.

[#1-norm-fan]

hmm I expected some sort of extra thing at the end

Exactly. Felt strange.

[Mr. Nerfect]

That they let Daniel Bryan's victory close can only be a good sign for him.

[Theo Dious]

They need to do this more often. Nice little mini-feuds ending in no-interference show endings. Today's Raw was awesome.

[Theo Dious]

Hmm. Felt like something was gonna happen at the end there. The match was good but it felt like it should have happened mid-show. Wasn't "main eventy".

You're nuts. The hottest thing in WWE right now was in the main event and it was an amazing match. That is main eventy anywhere in the world.

[#1-norm-fan]

It just felt weird having two guys that haven't been involved in the real main event picture close out Raw.

I wouldn't mind it if they made a habit of it. Would be kinda old school. Tonight though it just felt weird. Out of the norm.

[GD]

It's Benoit's death anniversary and Randy Orton tapped out to Daniel Bryan in similar fashion to which he did to Benoit back in a No Holds Barred match on Smackdown.

[Lock Jaw]

Christian obviously winning MitB. No one will see it coming.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Christian winning Money in the Bank would be great.

Yeah...no.


He doesn't belong in it. Like a black man in University.

[Poit]

rofl @ giant "Cena has clap" sign and the quick camera pan.

[Mr. Nerfect]

If Christian won the Money in the Bank, I'd like people to talk about how he has wormed his way to titles in the past and people to doubt whether or not he's actually got the goods to be a real champion. You can either have Christian cash-in honestly and remain face this way, or you can have him commit to a sneaky cash-in and play the ultimate slimy heel champion.

[mike adamle]

Wonder if they'll pull a swerve and have Sheamus win MITB since he hasn't had a main event feud in a while and I personally feel his WHC run was very underrated.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I hope not. I don't think he should have lost the World Title when he did, but I have no desire for Sheamus to be WWE Champion again right now. John Cena should drop the title to Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam and then put Bryan over at the next couple of PPVs. Sheamus can team with Randy Orton and lose to Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns at SummerSlam and then turn on each other and have one of those Night of Champions matches that isn't for a championship.

[Big Vic]

I wonder if Rock will even wrestle in 2014.

[The Condor]

Pretty decent show, matches were good, and some decent mic work by all involved. The Punk-Heyman angle has some damn good potential with Lesnar and Axel involved in various ways.

[Tommy Gunn]

Felt like 3 hours of recapping last week, boring.

[James Steele]

Felt like 3 hours of recapping last week, boring.

You must have missed the good promos and matches.

[Innovator]

And Daniel Bryan's biggest singles win yet

I hope they continue with this AJ/Steph beef and it wasn't just a one night only thing to add to the whole McMahon power trip angle.

It was only used for Steph to step on all the divas.
