brothers don't shake! brothers gotta hug!

I wish I had a brother.

[Swiss Ultimate]

They've been pretty good at controlling the crowd all night long. Maybe Cena comes out and immediately gets attacked by the Wyatt family.

[BigCrippyZ]

I wish I had a brother.

Me too. Will you be my brother?

[sean the killer]

spoiler alert wyatts coming out lmao

[Shadrick]

John Wyatt.

[ClockShot]

OOPS! Jumped on the gun on the Wyatt vid.

[Droford]

Cena is a Wyatt apparently

[Bad News Gertner]

Cena will acknowedge the Punk chants

[#1-norm-fan]

Lol Cena is great.

cena is so good at handling hostile crowds. what a guy.

[el bobbo]

JBL has to remind us all of how much fun Chicago is having. Aaron Paul had a blast tonight too!

[#1-norm-fan]

I don't mind smark crowds that much until they start shitting on Cena.

Then I want them all to get kicked in the face.

[Tanawesome]

hmm are dolph and renee fucking?

Nattie is giving Kofi a handjob too

to me it really makes cena that much better. he's been dealing with this kind of reaction since at least 2006 when the ecw shit cropped up. it's just part of who his character is and makes him special. let them crap. he can make himself look good despite it.

[KIRA]

I love how Cena can make them kinda wanna cheer for him a bit but still hate his guts the dudes charming I said it.

[ClockShot]

John Cena's the gatekeeper of Change? Since when?

[ClockShot]

I knew they were coming a mile away.


:shifty:

[Tanawesome]

Stupid mask...creepy as hell!!

[Swiss Ultimate]

Neat heel-turn tease. CHANGE!

[ron the dial]

the only cm punk that has bothered me all night. stfu when bray is talking.

[Bad News Gertner]

Tonight hasn't gone nearly as bad as expected. The WWE has put on a fantastic show to work around it.

[Corndad]

I love how Cena can make them kinda wanna cheer for him a bit but still hate his guts the dudes charming I said it.

Dude gets the Big Breasted Bella whenever he wants. Hate him again yet?

[ClockShot]

There's Orton.

[#1-norm-fan]

Batista and Orton suddenly not hating each other as much as last week.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>CM Punk chants during a Wyatt promo. Fuck this crowd. They don't deserve CM Punk.</font>

[Swiss Ultimate]

Tonight hasn't gone nearly as bad as expected. The WWE has put on a fantastic show to work around it.

It was kind of ridiculous when they were trying to chant CM Punk over Daniel Bryan though, wtf?

[Bad News Gertner]

I can't wait for Batista's entrance. Love the crying face he makes at the crowd.

[ClockShot]

A lot of variables in this match. Kane can come out and interfere, same goes with Orton. They only got 10 minutes to play.

[Bad News Gertner]

It was kind of ridiculous when they were trying to chant CM Punk over Daniel Bryan though, wtf?

Lol but they are "taking over Raw".

[Droford]

I wonder if its sunk into the crowd CM punks not showing up..

Oh this is horrible timing for this.

[ClockShot]

DRAGO!

[Droford]

Crowd missed an opportunity for a what chant

[Corndad]

When did USA turn into a replay of Rocky IV?

[ron the dial]

jesus why would they shove this in here?

[KIRA]

Ive only heard her say that for less than 1 min and I already fucking hate her for it.

[RawRocks]

Not good timing for the Rusev bit

[sean the killer]

right on time droford lol.

[Swiss Ultimate]

What happened to hijacking?

[Lock Jaw]

So generic now that they took away his skirt and combed his hair back

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol they are blaring the fuck out of his music to drown the crowd out

[ClockShot]

Now's a good time to bring Koslov back.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol the main event is gonna last like 2 minutes before we get interference</font>

[sean the killer]

did vladmir klosov and kahli have a love child

[ron the dial]

"i got the bulgarian rosetta stone"

don't know why that made me laugh so hard

[Lock Jaw]

Was kind of pulling for Rusev to trip and fall on that podium, dunno why... I generally like him.

I fixed that "Raw Selfie"

Illuminatista

[BigCrippyZ]

<font color=goldenrod>lol the main event is gonna last like 2 minutes before we get interference</font>

That's about all Batista can do anyway before blowing up and drenching the front rows in sweat.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Off topic, I really think Cena handled this crowd well.

[Bad News Gertner]

This is going to be amazing.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Bryan should definitely come out to Final Countdown for Mania.

[Droford]

This won't even last as long as the beat the clock match

[Bad News Gertner]

Off topic, I really think Cena handled this crowd well.

He always does. He's the best on the mic in the company..

[#1-norm-fan]

This match is way bigger of a deal than it's being treated. Random Raw with no hype. Goddamn.

[Lock Jaw]

Better chant CM Punk some more, you are almost out of time for him to show up

[voncouch]

"Daniel Bryan can make anyone look good in the ring!"

*WWE books him against Batista*

"Well..."

[sean the killer]

did jbl just say paul bearer loves twitter?

[#1-norm-fan]

did jbl just say paul bearer loves twitter?

*loved

[ClockShot]

Holy overrun, Batman. A commercial break.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol Commercial break at 5 mintues past the hour??

[RawRocks]

a fucking commercial after 11pm? fuck you WWE

[sean the killer]

cheesesteak

[Corndad]

11:05 Commercial Break LOL

[Swiss Ultimate]

wow

[KIRA]

Is Vince trying to slide in a 4th hr what the hell ?

[RVDmark]

Commercial break so Batista can get his breath back.

[Bad News Gertner]

USA is gonna pull the plug like Halloween Havoc 98

[Dark One]

Zack Ryder just sent a DM response to me about that Otunga'ed selfie. He must be really invested in the main event.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Need for Speed looks absolutely terrible. Like a SyFy movie.

[sean the killer]

what if he starts showing the first 4 hours of raw but to see the conclusion you gotta get the wwe network

[Lock Jaw]

I wonder how long until we hear Cole say "OH MY!!! WE'RE ALL OUT OF TIME HER ON THE USA NETWORK!!!! TURN ON THE WWE NETWORK NOW TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!!!!"

[Dark One]

Need for Speed looks absolutely terrible. Like a SyFy movie.

So you're suggesting that the reason none of the stunts were CGI is because they only had $20 to make the movie on?

[voncouch]

"Batista looking to take a breather"

Ha

[#1-norm-fan]

Zack Ryder just sent a DM response to me about that Otunga'ed selfie. He must be really invested in the main event.

What did it say?

[ClockShot]

And there it is.

[Dark One]

What did it say?

Just an "LOL." He's a wordsmith.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Would be funny if CM Punk was wearing a Sting mask.

[KIRA]

You gotta give to Chicago not letting the dream die.

[sean the killer]

YES YES YES YES YES

[Corndad]

Bryan got so much more offense in this match then I thought he would.

[sean the killer]

DAMN NVM

[#1-norm-fan]

Well there you have the setup to the triple threat main event.

[ron the dial]

nice kick by bryan!

[Savio]

lol @ Bryan

[Dark One]

And ten thousand people suddenly cried out in anguish as they realized there was no hope.

[ron the dial]

this is some hot shit right here

[sean the killer]

WOW NO CM PUNK? PRETTY GOOD SHOW

[#1-norm-fan]

Hmm... possibly...

[Dark One]

Rumor:
"CM Punk is definitely going to be returning on Raw tonight."

Reality:
Raw ends with HHH's music after pedigreeing Bryan.

:rofl:

[Hanso Amore]

Oh a yeah Bryan is totally going to be in the title match

[ron the dial]

and no punk. disappointing, but that was a great raw. lots of good shit. the second hour was a bit weak, but for 2/3 of the show to be of high quality is nice to see.

[Shadrick]

lmao JBL is wild

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>LOL suck it Chicago. No Punk for you.</font>

[Shadrick]

Oh a yeah Bryan is totally going to be in the title match

Or he'll simply have a match with HHH.

[KIRA]

the CM Punk signal flashed in the Chicago sky tonight but alas our hero would not answer the call.

[sean the killer]

Hmmm so why did paul heyman do the pipe bomb on punk

[Lock Jaw]

Now D-Bry goes to David Otunga, who says that D-Bry can sue the WWE unless they appease Daniel Bryan with a match against HHH, and that he gets to pick the stipulation. HHH agrees, and then D-Bry announces the stip that if he beats him he gets into the main event.

[Swiss Ultimate]

So you're suggesting that the reason none of the stunts were CGI is because they only had $20 to make the movie on?

No?

Although I have seen better car stunts at Disney World.

<iframe width="640" height="390" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/c3oQoRQw-o8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[voncouch]

3 hours and 15 minutes? Jesus Christ, I'm glad I rarely watch this live. I feel like I had a birthday during that show.

[#1-norm-fan]

Alright, they really need to lock in these matches next week.

[voncouch]

LOL @ David Otunga factoring into this at all

[Hanso Amore]

You need to learn what sarcasm is

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. Big Show and fucking John Cena are in the ring fighting off The Authority and Josh Matthews, Alex Riley and Big Show are just sitting there laughing. So bizarre.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Is this WWE Network stuff?

[rob11]

And back to not watching Raw although I will catch WM for being WM. Same old WWE. We keep telling scenarios that get Bryan into the main event at WM but do you actually think they will do it? We keep pushing it back. At WM, Bryan won't get the title, and we will all say they are building for him to win at Payback which he will job in the opening match and we will keep pushing it back and back.

[el bobbo]

Is Alex Riley trying to be a heel on commentary?

[BigCrippyZ]

:lol: Hacksaw making better sense/points than Flair did last week.

[el bobbo]

Is this WWE Network stuff?

Yeah. They're showing the post-Raw stuff while Josh Matthews, Alex Riley, Booker T, and Hacksaw Jim Duggan dick around.

[#1-norm-fan]

Titus O'Neil just cut a hilarious promo with Byron Saxton coming up to him backstage to ask him his thoughts on Daniel Bryan while he was getting his stuff ready to leave and Titus basically responded with "I don't care. I'm hungry!"

Bryan will get his match at WM with Triple H and maybe even go over but that's it. Somewhere in the middle of the card. I could see Brock/Taker being the main event.

Really. What, I'm not saying it was bad but compared to the hype, I guess I'm alone in thinking this. For a regular Raw it was good, a B+ show.

[Heisenberg]

That was a fuckin hot ending!!! Holy shit!!

[#1-norm-fan]

The small amount of heat they started between Batista and Orton went backwards tonight. Any chance that they might try to make Orton more of a face or tweener or at the very least the lesser of two evils is kind shot. If they somehow decide to keep that match one on one at WrestleMania, it's gotta go in the middle of the show which is gonna shit on the title.

I can't see Batista not walking out of WrestleMania with the title though. They wouldn't go Bryan vs Orton vs Batista at WrestleMania just to have Bryan lose again? Would they??? lol

[RawRocks]

i forgot Brock Lesnar could talk lol

[Swiss Ultimate]

I haven't watched a Raw live or otherwise in over a year. I fucking had a blast tonight. It was way better than my expectations which were reasonably high.

I mean, fuck, they opened the show with Paul Heyman, Brock Lesnar F5'd Henry, fun tag match with Usos getting the titles, great promos...

Listen, if you didn't enjoy it, that's your right. I had a good time watching though.

[Innovator]

I hope the crowd threatens to hijack all the shows, they loaded that up

[RVDmark]

Where the hell is BNB? He was on 4/5 times at EC and nothing since.

I guess if there will be a payoff it would be at WM. Maybe it will be Bryan winning the title with confetti raining down and 70,000 people chanting yes. I will give the WWE one thing, they knew they couldn't keep Batista face. Next year, Bobby Lashley returns, and wins the Rumble lol

[Swiss Ultimate]

Shield VS. Wyatts was great, Batista VS. Bryan was the best match Batista has had since he returned, Bryan looks amazing.

I was hoping for one of those historic nights. Okay, it wasn't meh, it was good. Solid matches, a good storyline ending, but I guess my expectations were of a historic Raw and they were too high. Some big swerves or something. Now we go back to dead crowds next week. The crowd helped make tonight but I don't think Memphis is known for their loud crowds.

Oh, props to Heyman for the opening. Perfect promo.

Because who in their right mind wants conflict and obstacles in a hero's story?

[rockman725]

Hmmm so why did paul heyman do the pipe bomb on punk

That was a way to turn the situation into a work and write Punk back in. I was so hoping it was going to be Batista doing to Chicago what HBK did to Montreal in 2005 so that Punk would be the one getting in to make it a Triple Threat. It makes sense though to write him in with Paul/Lesnar/Taker because of recent history. Because of that, I'm actually glad that he didn't come back tonight. It fits perfect for him to return in a run-in during the Brock/Taker match.

No way would they have done something like that if an agreement wasn't reached...so you know he will be back soon. Just remember, they were kicking people out of the arenas & tearing up CM Punk signs just a week ago. Yeah, cooler heads prevailed.

exactly, the arena was packed with punk signs, even some colt related signs, and on air mentioning of him, they tried to keep it subtle tho with just mentioning him a little bt, just wondering and really curious on the direction they are going with punk

Oh, props to Heyman for the opening. Perfect promo.

I'm not trying to convince you man, if you didn't like it you didn't like it. I just felt like it's important to increase tension until Wrestlemania. If Bryan had gone over it would have taken away his momentum for me. By the time Bryan gets to face Triple H it'll be epic.

If we get what we want now, what's left for Wrestlemania.

This is why I think if CM Punk's leaving isn't a work he has to come back as a heel at Mania. The only way he can turn the fans against him and push the product forward is if he is the deciding factor in Lesnar VS. Undertaker.

Bryan going over at Mania will be what's best for the company and also make the fans happy. We need a CM Punk VS. Daniel Bryan feud next.

[rob11]

Because who in their right mind wants conflict and obstacles in a hero's story?
If Bryan is put into the main event then it's worth it. If it's to have a mid card match with Triple H, then meh. I'm sure it would be a good match. Like I said, I'm probably alone with my thoughts and for people who thought tonight was amazing, good for them. Obstacles are good but what is this leading to at WM?

[sean the killer]

taker should have made an appearance tonight but all in all how would you rate raw i'd say 4 or 4.5/5

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Did you enjoy Raw:

NO 7k
Yes: 3k.

Really interested to see what the future has in store for The Shield....

[Bad News Gertner]

Ok been meaning to post this: the whole "Seth Rollins is the architect of the Shield" seems very forced. It's like "Ambrose is obviously the talker, Reigns is the size so we'll just make something up for Rollins"

bruins win. canucks suck.

[Bad News Gertner]

He's really nothing special and the "cooler heads guy" is just something random creative had to come up with because Ambrose and Reigns outshine him.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yeah he wasn't the most over guy in the match at the PPV or anything. Obviously he's nothing special to a mongoloid like you.

[Swiss Ultimate]

If TPWW armchair bookers call Wrestlemania we should sue.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Seth Rollins is the most over guy out of Reigns, Ambrose and the Wyatts??? Is that what's being claimed? First I've read of it.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Did you watch the match at the PPV? His moves got the most pops.

[Swiss Ultimate]

He was in the front row wearing a Sting mask the entire time. Jeff Hardy was there as Willow.

[Bad News Gertner]

So did CM Punk come back and cry some more?

He still hasn't found his smile.

[Swiss Ultimate]

You'd think he'd find it in one of his massive piles of money.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Money's too mainstream for someone like CM Punk. He plays by his own rules and isn't a sheep like everyone else don't you know.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Bitcoin then.

[Bad News Gertner]

Furs and pelts.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Rumor is Punk has had his pick of all the furs and pelts of the Diva division.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Sorry, just watched all of arrested development on the netflix. Gob "will arnett" plays a magician (a bad one) and always plays that song during his act.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Oh, okay. Thanks for the clarification.

[Fignuts]

Watched the Raw aftershow. HHH, Batista, and Orton in the ring together. Should of hit the Evolution theme.

Should of hit?

[Fignuts]

Quiet, you.

[Corndad]

I personally thought the show was great. I think they played the Punk card exactly right with Heyman being the first guy out of the blocks. I figured that would be the first song to hit at top of Raw just didn't know who was coming out. It was played perfectly IMO

Usos deserved the Titles going into Mania. I'm sure will end up with a 4 way Tag or something at Mania but Well Deserved.

The end of the show was also done amazingly. Sets up possible Triple Threat between the 3. Both sides got upper hand with Bryan going nuts on everyone but the show ending with HHH standing over him. Only thing curious about is if Orton is gonna be a Heel or Face in all this mess. If it's not gonna be a Triple Threat you would think he would have to turn Face or atleast be a Tweener but what kind of Mania Main Event would that be if it's Heel vs Heel with no one to "Cheer" for.

[Hanso Amore]

It seems like the much more logical angle with the shield shouldnt be "OH T HE ARCHITECT IS LEAVING THE SHIELD"

it should be that he is overshadowed by Reigns and Ambrose despite being the best Wrestler out of them, so hes jealous etc.

[Hanso Amore]

I cant believe how over the Usos have gotten. Now that the straps are back on a face team I think they will flounder a bit and defend against the outlaws one more time then move onto Rybaxel...Hopefully in the next few months the Ascension move up from NXT to feud with the Usos.

Also why does JBL keep referring to them as Rikishis baby boys. They are like 30

"Mrs. Foley's baby boy" was in his mid-30s when he got that nickname. I don't think anyone took it literally.

[rob11]

Money's too mainstream for someone like CM Punk. He plays by his own rules and isn't a sheep like everyone else don't you know.
Most guys blow their money and have nothing saved up for retirement. I give him props for being able to step away and have enough money saved up that he can go back to wrestling on his terms and not like certain others be forced back because they have no money.

I feel like all three men are pretty good, definitely entertained the hell out of me. However, both Ambrose and Reigns seem like they can hang with the big guys more in my mind. Maybe it's because he's a cruiserweight and if he was in WCW he's have long blonde hair and no facial hair.

You know what, with their turning Batista heel, it does increase the odds they will put someone else in the match and we know it won't be Cena. You don't want a either a dead crowd or a crowd crapping all over the match, so they will bring someone in. I wonder what Hogan's "announcement" will be next week. Please not another Hogan reality show on WWE network lol

[Swiss Ultimate]

Hogan will tell Triple H that he needs to listen to the millions of Hulkamaniacs who want to see him face Bryan at Wrestlemania.

Triple H will eventually consent and even throw in the stip, thinking the odds are stacked against Bryan and being completely over-confident.

Of course, Triple H is retarded for being so over-confident. Curtis Axel nearly ended Triple H's career for fuck's sake and Bryan has nearly gotten the better of him with the odds against him. This whole feud is way too meta honestly.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

They're putting Hogan in the main event.

[Swiss Ultimate]

I would legit watch Hogan VS. Scott Steiner if it happened right now.

[rob11]

They're putting Hogan in the main event.
Hogan puts Bryan into the main event and at WM, Batista throws salt into Bryan's eyes, then gives him a batista bomb to win only to have Hogan run out, three punches, boot, leg drop, new undisputed champion.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Starting off the show with a nice trolling of the crowd. Barrett would have made the trolling even better but smart to use Heyman.

Shield vs Wyatts was good.

The Bryan-HHH segment was great. The level of booing and hostility towards the Authority was amazing and something they should have been generating a long while ago.

:y: Bearer in the Hall. Really great class this year so far.

As a way to replicate the heat from last night, Triple H will publicly fire JTG in Brooklyn next Monday

[NormanSmiley]

So I more or less feel like punk has been contacted something was worked out prior to last night and the company said let's bring him back but not here, not tonight . Because these little Chicago shit heads are plotting against our product.

It's the only way.

That was a way to turn the situation into a work and write Punk back in. I was so hoping it was going to be Batista doing to Chicago what HBK did to Montreal in 2005 so that Punk would be the one getting in to make it a Triple Threat. It makes sense though to write him in with Paul/Lesnar/Taker because of recent history. Because of that, I'm actually glad that he didn't come back tonight. It fits perfect for him to return in a run-in during the Brock/Taker match.

No way would they have done something like that if an agreement wasn't reached...so you know he will be back soon. Just remember, they were kicking people out of the arenas & tearing up CM Punk signs just a week ago. Yeah, cooler heads prevailed.
Oh FFS. We've gone from "he HAS to return in Chicago" to "he'll DEFINITELY return in Chicago" to "Ok, so he didn't return in Chicago...which can only mean he'll return at Mania".

Ugh.

[el bobbo]

Who's going to start the annual "JTG Still Has a Job" Thread?

[Swiss Ultimate]

Right after I post 5-6 more Streak threads.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Oh FFS. We've gone from "he HAS to return in Chicago" to "he'll DEFINITELY return in Chicago" to "Ok, so he didn't return in Chicago...which can only mean he'll return at Mania".

Ugh.

If he doesn't return at Mania then we can safely assume he's headed to Impact.

[Bad News Gertner]

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid I've got some good news and some bad news.

The good news is CM Punk didn't return on Raw

[Bad News Gertner]

The bad news is, there is none. CM Punk is a whiny bitch.

Did one of those monitors hit someone???

The crowd reaction after he threw that second monitor entirely too hard made it sound like it.

So yeah. Apparently it did.

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2014/0303/571856/brock-lesnar-throws-monitor-in-the-crowd/

They were fine... a little more care when throwing shit around would probably be a good idea though. I've seen quite a few times where guys are throwing monitors, chairs, ring steps, etc. and thought "Jesus, that looks wreckless". lol

[Swiss Ultimate]

HA!

[rockman725]

Oh FFS. We've gone from "he HAS to return in Chicago" to "he'll DEFINITELY return in Chicago" to "Ok, so he didn't return in Chicago...which can only mean he'll return at Mania".

Ugh.

I was never one who said he'll return in Chicago. Before Monday night, I was convinced that the absolute EARLIEST he would be back was Summerslam, but was more looking at next year's Rumble realistically. If there is a chance he comes back before then, Mania is the only logical place BASED ON THE PAUL HEYMAN PROMO. It was clearly done to write him in to something should he come back. I still feel it wasn't a work from the start, but eventually, it will turn into one and it started on Monday with Heyman. I believe now that despite what the "dirtsheet writers" are saying, that 70/30 he will return at Mania, not for a match, but for an appearance. I could be wrong, but WWE brass would NEVER break their rule of catering to an audience quite like they did on Monday. At least, I have hard time believing they would.

[XL]

People are putting a lot of stock in that Heyman promo. My take, they had to address the "elephant in the room" as they were in Chicago and knew that the fans wouldn't let up, and that's how they did it. By no means does it point to them bringing him back at Mania.

It's almost like saying that Hogan, Brock and Rock were all gonna come back and work programmes with Punk after he mentioned them in his original Pipebomb promo.

Wait.

Rock did come back and work a programme with Punk, as did Brock, and now Hogan is back!!

This can only mean one thing; Hogan vs. Punk.

Expect that to be Hogan's big announcement on Monday.

[Innovator]

Here I was thinking Nasty Nick was going to be DJing the National Anthem

[Brigstocke]

Hulksters going to announce his daughters sex tape going on the Network.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I just need to reiterate how good that Shield/Wyatts match was.

Also, I think Rollins was just trying to show the other two how destructive their behavior has been. I didn't see it as him abandoning the group.
