[Theo Dious]

Worst Raw thread opening post ever.

[el bobbo]

And a very concussed Daniel Bryan :(

[el bobbo]

Worst Raw thread opening post ever.

That's what I was going for.

[Droford]

I was thinking of earlier of starting the thread

raw thread featuring the return of Droford! (.. and Batista)

[JimmyMess]

does the batista open raw, close raw, or both raw?

[el bobbo]

Do you think he opens up the show? Or do they wait until the top of one of the hours for him?

Also, pairing him up with Del Rio is a great way to crush any momentum he has coming in...

[ClockShot]

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start

[Corndad]

C'mon WWE. Don't let me down. I bought Rumble tickets months back hoping would hype the crap out of it. Let's do this. Also can't wait for the yearly "Every guy in the Rumble Cluster Fight Brouhaha to end the Raw before" tonight.

[Poit]

I was thinking of earlier of starting the thread

raw thread featuring the return of Droford! (.. and Batista)

The Animal... Droford!

[Lock Jaw]

Lock Jaw has entered the thread!

[Droford]

RAW thread in a pit of Danger

[ClockShot]

Long live the dream.

[Droford]

Hey, its those two

[Cool King]

Hello everyone.

I hope you are all well tonight.

[ClockShot]

Just get Dancin' Dave out here so I can cut out at 10 and catch Blacklist.

[Lock Jaw]

Christian!

[Cool King]

I feel like Batista will show up in a minute.

[ClockShot]

SWERVE! It's Randy Orton.

[Cool King]

Oh, here he is now.

[Lock Jaw]

Evolution reunion. Get Ric Flair out here tonight.

[Cool King]

Damn Orton, not you.

[Droford]

Let's waddle out Flair too..evolution explodes

[#1-norm-fan]

No, who do you think YOU are!?

[Corndad]

WWE Network *Drink*

[el bobbo]

Anyone playing the WWE network drinking game this week?

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. Stephanie thinks the ratings are in the 9.0 range.

[Cool King]

I think in the future, when Cena's Dad is at a WWE event, he better go for a piss break when Orton appears.

[Lock Jaw]

Why isn't she yelling at Big Show for beating up an old man last week?

[#1-norm-fan]

Anyone playing the WWE network drinking game this week?

That was one of the more forced WWE network promotions yet. I was wondering how she was gonna bring it back around and make it relevant to Orton. lol

[Cool King]

"You attacked a helpless old man when his back was turned!"

*cough*bigshowandzebcolter*cough*

[Heisenberg]

Stephanie looks good when she is all authoritative and pissed off

[blak23]

I like Steph's promo skills

[#1-norm-fan]

Why isn't she yelling at Big Show for beating up an old man last week?

Politics, man.

[Lock Jaw]

The Beast
The Animal
The Viper

[ClockShot]

So glad there's light at the end of this storyline tunnel.

[Theo Dious]

If this show ends with Orton and Batista stomping the shit out of Cena I shall cum in my pantaloons.

[el bobbo]

Randy has pent up aggression? He should whack it. Or smoke some more crack.

[Theo Dious]

Unrational? Oh, Hunter.

[Theo Dious]

Okay, so the Authority was about to announce Batista's entrance when Orton came out... is he now just standing there waiting for his turn?

[Schlomey]

sorry im late. i was busy eating naaaachoooos

[Droford]

I wonder if they'd actually go through with Lesnar/Orton

[Lock Jaw]

Be a man, <s>Hogan</s> Orton

[GD]

There goes Kofi Kingston's push :nono:

[el bobbo]

God damn fucking rematch.

[teamXtremist]

Damn Kingston is gonna get destroyed by orton

[Lock Jaw]

Lazy Cena, arriving after the show has started

[Cool King]

Why would an arena keep a plant in it's parking lot?

[Theo Dious]

I wish I could show up to my job whenever the hell I wanted to.

[FourFifty]

A few minutes late. Wait, this is the go home show? Fuck me. Starting it now. Will get back with all of you wonderful people (and the assholes) when I'm on real time.

[Corndad]

Well hello David.

[teamXtremist]

Boom goes the dynamite

[ClockShot]

Now batting..........Johnny Damon.

[Schlomey]

hes baaack. meh. he better be heel and not kissin no babies or fat gurlz

[Cool King]

[teamXtremist]

Those r some tight jeans bro

[Savio]

Konami Code Activated.

[Theo Dious]

That shirt. :lol:

Looks like he raided Richard Simmons' closet.

[ClockShot]

Spotlight, machine gun, douche shirt..... let's see what he says


Watch my movie, Riddick. Now available at retailers everywhere.

[Corndad]

My wife has already pointed out he still has the ridiculous belly button Tattoo lol

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

lol Trending Now "Randy Orton" as the camera pans over Batista. hahahahahaha

[Cool King]

I love the SmackDown vs Raw style signs that the crowd has for Batista.

[teamXtremist]

Lol ortons face

[Schlomey]

;wow that batista chant took a minute of akwarness to get going

[CSL]

lol even a "small" Batista is bigger than 90% of the roster

[FourFifty]

Not caught up yet, but I just gotta say if they're going to have one champion they need one title.

[Schlomey]

hes pulling a rock.

[Corndad]

[Schlomey]

i am with you 4fiddy

[Lock Jaw]

IMMENSE RETURN PROMO

[ClockShot]

THAT'S IT?!

[FourFifty]

Caught up now. I see I missed fuck of all nothing.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

....

[ClockShot]

Hey, Jura dropped in.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>...THAT was Batista's grand return?</font>

[blak23]

how long before bats turns?

[#1-norm-fan]

LOL. That was Batista's return promo!?

[FourFifty]

Looking forward to that six man tag. Hoping that it ends with Goldust not taking the fall.

[Lock Jaw]

I like how the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is such a "big deal" that people are returning to go for it. Like "There's something actually worth fighting for now".

[Schlomey]

that opening segment was pretty lame. Point stare blame pose repeat.

[slik]

Love Batista.

[Schlomey]

Deal with it

[#1-norm-fan]

Maybe Brock's promo scared them from giving massively over returning guys too much mic time.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I do like that the crowd went from being excited to going dead silent when he mentioned winning the Rumble.</font>

[Heisenberg]

THAT'S RIGHT FUCKFACE

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8q9pdStFk1qawpudo1_r1_250.gif

[Lock Jaw]

Should have turned him heel.

"Randy, the Authority says you are on your own... but I am here to tell you... that you do NOT walk alone!" and then he would hug Orton with his muscles.

[#1-norm-fan]

I like how the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is such a "big deal" that people are returning to go for it. Like "There's something actually worth fighting for now".

:yes:

Just need one title to represent it now so we can forget that horrific two title run ever existed.

[Lock Jaw]

Damn, Schlomey.... I am confusing your posts with Heisenberg's now.

[Schlomey]

damn i wanted to hear big e's music

[Droford]

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NOI2pZlj0Mc/UAP4tRdz-iI/AAAAAAAAB6Q/0xfGklM2jRE/s1600/shawn-michaels.gif
Deal with it..

[ClockShot]

Sierra.........Hotel........India........Echo........Lima.........Delta.........SHIELD!

[Cool King]

The New Age Outlaws have a title shot?

[Lock Jaw]

CodE Langdust

[FourFifty]

Shit, I can see Goldy taking the fall at the pre show...

[GD]

Dean Ambrose paying homage to MNM.

[Schlomey]

Damn, Schlomey.... I am confusing your posts with Heisenberg's now.

yea bitch :p












i made him myself obviously

[Cool King]

Damn, Schlomey.... I am confusing your posts with Heisenberg's now.

You're not the only one.

[Droford]

Someone should start #batistasfront

[Lock Jaw]

I wonder if Dean Ambrose will ever defend his title again

[Schlomey]

big e pulled a warrrior for a no sell. boooooo

[Droford]

Rollins looks like he just jumped out of a plane

[CSL]

well that front suplex from Cody had to feel just dandy for Rollins' knees

[Droford]

I wonder if Dean Ambrose will ever defend his title again

The hot rumor was title unification at EC with Langston

[Schlomey]

house shows don exist

[GD]

WAITAMINUTE.... JURA'S BACK?! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

[Kingofdaswing]

Has Orton not attacked Cena's dad before? Why is it such a big deal now?

[Droford]

WWE should have Friday night midget wrestling

[FourFifty]

On another note- has any match ended during a commercial on a live televised event?

[Cool King]

Has Orton not attacked Cena's dad before? Why is it such a big deal now?

Yeah, but no matter how many times it happens, when someone attacks someone else's father, it's always a big deal.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

He punted him in the head.

[Schlomey]

justt 60 straight minutes of little beaver..

[#1-norm-fan]

On another note- has any match ended during a commercial on a live televised event?

I feel like it happened once in WCW.

[FourFifty]

I think I'll start watch boxing...

[Droford]

On another note- has any match ended during a commercial on a live televised event?
Hopefully they keep the tape machines..er..WWE App rolling

[KIRA]

Unrational? Oh, Hunter.

When you're a "king" you don't need to be literate.

[Droford]

I feel like it happened once in WCW.

WCW even had a match end as a commercial during another show.

[FourFifty]

That was cool, but not Fall Of Man cool.

[Cool King]

On another note- has any match ended during a commercial on a live televised event?

I remember a Diva's match of Raw from a few years ago ending during a break, but it was due to a botch. Someone forgot to kick out of a pin or something.

They showed the end of the match as a replay though, if I remember correctly.

[FourFifty]

I'd markout for a 5 count right about now.

[FourFifty]

BLACK OUT!

[Droford]

It annoys me to no end when Langston goes for the big ending without pulling his straps down..automatically means its getting blocked

[ClockShot]

A flying stomp, eh.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Blackout Curb Stomp!! The Shield wins!

[Schlomey]

solid match. 6 of the best guys in the company right there.

[GD]

That was a pretty cool match.

[el bobbo]

What was that move Rollins did? He like stomped Big E on the back of the head. Pretty cool.

[Lock Jaw]

Wonder how long until Superman Punch gif

[#1-norm-fan]

Big E Langston has lost that "monster" feel since winning the title. Seems to happen a lot when someone wins a title.

[Schlomey]

the typical hour and itll be all over the web.

[Droford]

I thought for a split sec that was Taz behind Lawler

[ClockShot]

Pity this got scuttled fast. Wanted to see Bryan run with the Wyatts for a little while.

[FourFifty]

If WWE does one thing better than anyone else, it's the production pieces.

[Corndad]

My God that Superman Punch by Reigns

[Lock Jaw]

Big E Langston has lost that "monster" feel since winning the title. Seems to happen a lot when someone wins a title.

He's a champion now. Means he has to lose most of the time now when the title isn't on the line.

[FourFifty]

#OVERASFUCK

[FourFifty]

My God that Superman Punch by Reigns

Glorious Spear Of Justice > Superman Punch

[Lock Jaw]

I hope the crowd is more into Bryan than they were Batista

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Over. As. Fuck.

[Schlomey]

cold chills

[Cool King]

I'm not meaning to be being racist but am I the only one that noticed that they let a white man curb stomp a black man on Martin Luther King Day? :-\

[Schlomey]

god bless amerrrrrrica

[Droford]

Sting should show up at Elimination Chamber with RoboCop to open up the steel bars of the Chamber

[#1-norm-fan]

I'm not meaning to be being racist but am I the only one that noticed that they let a white man curb stomp a black man on Martin Luther King Day? :-\

HAH!

[Droford]

I'm not meaning to be being racist but am I the only one that noticed that they let a white man curb stomp a black man on Martin Luther King Day? :-\

And Kofi is a few minutes away from getting his face punted in...

[FourFifty]

#HowDoYouKFC?
With regret that I didn't just make my own god damn fried chicken.

[Corndad]

Daniel F'n Bryan.

[FourFifty]

For a moment he looked like Jesus...

[Droford]

Chris Jericho is coming back when the network launches

[Cool King]

Chris Jericho is coming back when the network launches

That would be great.

[Schlomey]

jbl trying to bury d brys face....not coool bro

[FourFifty]

So who called for Kane to be in on this? I have a feeling that you'll be receiving your prize tonight.

[ClockShot]

I took a page out of the John Cena handbook and fucked them up from the inside.

[Poit]

The New Age Outlaws have a title shot?

Yeah, it's on wwe.com.

[FourFifty]

I wonder if Daniel Bryan eats gummy bears...

[Droford]

He had to wear the mexicools ring gear for 2 weeks..you'd think that would annoy him

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. I wonder how long it took them to come up with that explanation.

[KIRA]

My main thing is how is this all gonna lead to Bryan getting the WWE title.

[Cool King]

"Daniel Bryan doesn't follow anybody!"

According to his Twitter account, he's following 42 people.

[Droford]

Haha Bryan isn't in the rumble

[FourFifty]

Wait, no Daniel Bryan in the rumble match?

[Corndad]

Aw Shit. I guess he ain't winning the Rumble.

[el bobbo]

Chew on the carcass of Bray Wyatt long enough to get to the creamy, rich Husky Harris center.

[#1-norm-fan]

Bray Wyatt is just the best thing on TV.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

So who called for Kane to be in on this? I have a feeling that you'll be receiving your prize tonight.

Me.

[blak23]

I love bray

[Schlomey]

rr undercards are typically weak...not so much this year.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>He can still be a surprise of course but they just basically said Bryan (and Bray) are out of the Rumble. God dammit.</font>

[FourFifty]

I'm starting to think Bo Dallas started out as a mole that Bray Wyatt had removed.

[KIRA]

lol. I wonder how long it took them to come up with that explanation.

It kinda writes itself though this could've been so much more elaborate and fun if they'd drawn it out.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Bryan can do double duty.

[Droford]

I keep in expecting them to drop "bird shit" on someone..follow the buzzards

[Lock Jaw]

http://i.imgur.com/50CRvrp.gif (http://wrestlingwithtext.com/my-brief-and-uninsightful-recap/wwt-live-short-wwe-raw-2014-1-20)

[FourFifty]

Bryan can do double duty.

Hell, hasn't Ziggler done a triple duty before?
Plus there was one year at the rumble where Foley was in 3 times.

[Corndad]

Maybe Kane works out a deal or something to get Bryan still in. Who knows but now looking at it, Who wins the Rumble? Punk probably gets screwed by Authority? Brock, Cena, Big Show all on undercard. Batista?

[Lock Jaw]

How dare they skip Fandango's entrance

[ClockShot]

R-Truth on commentary. Is this going to be the equivalent of Richard Sherman's post game interview from last night?

[#1-norm-fan]

Push/Do something remotely interesting with Fandango, you dumb cocksuckers!

[Cool King]

Ah, Woods.

I wonder what meme/geek reference he'll yell out before his finisher today.

[FourFifty]

Well that was under 9000...

[ClockShot]

Son of a gun, Truth didn't say a damn thing.

[Cool King]

Woods doing the job.

[Corndad]

Damn that was fast #That'swhatshesaid

[Lock Jaw]

That was fast, need to get to replays

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Gonna hold out hope that Bray and Bryan wind up in the Rumble match anyway. Not sure what purpose Harper and Rowan serve in the Rumble if they aren't gonna help out Bray.</font>

[Cool King]

I'd really like to see Kane in the Royal Rumble match.

[el bobbo]

Does Summer Rae hate Emma in NXT? This could be an interesting feud if it develops, unlike the rest of the Divas division.

[FourFifty]

Not the biggest fan of corporate Kane... Kinda makes me want to take a cheese grater to my Kane mask tattoo...

[#1-norm-fan]

Hey, Issac Yankem!

[FourFifty]

At least Joseph Park is #EMMAtaining... I mean Entertaining.... No, wait, I was right the first time.

[teamXtremist]

Bray can cut a damn good promo

[#1-norm-fan]

<font color=goldenrod>Gonna hold out hope that Bray and Bryan wind up in the Rumble match anyway. Not sure what purpose Harper and Rowan serve in the Rumble if they aren't gonna help out Bray.</font>

Well Bryan's whole reason for getting a match with Bray seemed to be that he wasn't in the rumble match. So logically neither of them would be in it. But logic doesn't matter, so it's entirely possible they both end up in it.

[KIRA]

Well that was under 9000...

Hes a low level Saiyan of course it was.

[teamXtremist]

That superman punch had me marking for a sec

[#1-norm-fan]

I'd mark out like a crazy person if Wyatt won the rumble.

[Lock Jaw]

Hey, it's your buddy, it's your pal

[Cool King]

I really have to start watching SmackDown again.

[#1-norm-fan]

Bray can cut a damn good promo

It's seriously one of the few people whose promos I don't instantly zone out on lately. I just assume everyone else is saying "You ate my sandwich. I hate you. This Sunday I will beat you."

[KIRA]

How does someone as awesome as Wyatt get a brother like Bo Dallas?
Its like someone tossed a brick in their gene pool between births.

[Corndad]

It's Apology Time!!

[FourFifty]

#NotAsOverAsBryan

[Droford]

Kane apologizes by making him #1

[FourFifty]

How does someone as awesome as Wyatt get a brother like Bo Dallas?

I know. It's unBOlieveable!

[Heisenberg]

A man should never apologize for Chokeslamming anyone

[#1-norm-fan]

#NotAsOverAsBryan

#BookedTotallyDifferently

Remember when the crowd was going nuts rooting for Santino to take the title off of Bryan?

[Droford]

Lol 1 more time

[Corndad]

Crowd kinda dead other then for Bryan tonight.

[FourFifty]

Brad "The Man" Madox

[Cool King]

Kane should enter the Royal Rumble match and eliminate Punk, which would then lead to Kane/Punk at Elimination Chamber.

[FourFifty]

#BookedTotallyDifferently

Remember when the crowd was going nuts rooting for Santino to take the title off of Bryan?

......no?

[KIRA]

I hope it's Gunn I miss his overselling.

[Droford]

WWE presents Rock Paper Scissors

[#1-norm-fan]

......no?

You should probably have watched the 2012 Elimination Chamber PPV. It wasn't bad.

[FourFifty]

Looking at Road Dogg's goatee I can tell this segment is not brought to you by Just For Men.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm pretty sure they force Billy Gunn to wrestle in a shirt because at 50 he's in better shape than half the roster.</font>

[Cool King]

Jiminy Christmas.

[FourFifty]

You should probably have watched the 2012 Elimination Chamber PPV. It wasn't bad.

And the crowd wanted Santino to take the strap off of Bryan?
I'll scope it out tomorrow. That just seems.... odd.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. I love how Brad Maddox was shouting "Kane! Kane! Kane!" before Kane took his jacket off and headed back toward the ring.

[el bobbo]

Road Dogg curses like a bible camp counselor.

[Droford]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm pretty sure they force Billy Gunn to wrestle in a shirt because at 50 he's in better shape than half the roster.</font>
If they could only make him wear something on his head

[Cool King]

And the shirt is off.

[FourFifty]

"Well I would say HashTag GETTING MY ASS KICKED"

[KIRA]

Dolph should be proud that his dad is in the ring still being awesome.

and better than over half the young talent

[Cool King]

You all heard Road Dogg, #ashhfeohmriwginighng.

[FourFifty]

It's sad that Part Time Billy Gunn can work better than a good portion of the roster.

[Corndad]

Maddox randomly still standing on the stage lol

[Savio]

punk usually loses to has beens

[Cool King]

<s>Cool King defeats Iginfest!</s> CM Punk defeats Billy Gunn! :shifty:

[Droford]

Lol I called it

[FourFifty]

Calling it- Punk is getting 1.

[ClockShot]

You're #1!

[el bobbo]

My stream went out. What happened with Punk?

[ClockShot]

I'd rather see Batista and Brock go at it before the night is out.



That's Clash of the Titans material right there.

[Lock Jaw]

So Punk almost wins the Rumble but is somehow taken out by shenanigans

[FourFifty]

My stream went out. What happened with Punk?

After Punk hit the GTS on Gunn for the win, Kane came out an announced that Punk is #1 in the Rumble.

[Corndad]

Is it bad I have no desire to see that Title Match? Pumped for a lot of other stuff but that match. Eh.

[#1-norm-fan]

And the crowd wanted Santino to take the strap off of Bryan?
I'll scope it out tomorrow. That just seems.... odd.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/cUyEsiGlW7k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

39:50 to the end of the match. They were even booing Bryan on offense and then died out when Bryan won. How people are booked can do wonders. lol

[Poit]

All about the numbers!

[Lock Jaw]

All about the numbers promo season

[Corndad]

Aw. The good old Numbers promo.
