Official "It's No Longer Funny" RAW Thread for 9/29

[FourFifty]

The 8 year old FourFifty is marking out like a little bitch.
The 31 year old FourFifty thinks creative could have spent this time on Zack Ryder.

Hulk Hogan came up with a cure for cancer in 1987 but was too busy wrestling to patent it dude!

[Cool King]

It's weird seeing Hogan in pink and black.

[Emperor Smeat]

Hulk Hogan came up with a cure for cancer in 1987 but was too busy wrestling to patent it dude!

Maybe if he had just staid friends with Andre that wouldn't have been an issue.

[FourFifty]

Isn't the Susan G Komen foundation a giant corporation that spends more in advertising than their self proclaimed cause?

[Dark One]

It's weird seeing Hogan in pink and black.

Fabulous World Order, BROTHER!

[Innovator]

Cmon 2012 Punk would interrupt this

[FourFifty]

So Hogan came out for a commercial paid by one corporation to shill out another?

[FourFifty]

Did Randy Orton go soft, or did he go S-A-W-F-T?

[Poit]

Isn't the Susan G Komen foundation a giant corporation that spends more in advertising than their self proclaimed cause?

I feel like the whole "this charity spends more money on advertising than what it should be supporting" thing needs to be taken with a big lump of salt.

Scenario A:
Spend $1 million/year on advertising
Raise $5 million/year, allowing $4 million to go to "the cause"

Scenario B:
Spend $20 million/year on advertising
Raise $25 million/year, allowing $5 million to go to "the cause"

Obviously made up numbers, but the point is that Scenario B is both easier to criticize and objectively more effective.

Just sayin'.

Total Cottonelle bro

[Emperor Smeat]

Isn't the Susan G Komen foundation a giant corporation that spends more in advertising than their self proclaimed cause?

Yes and they also sue anyone who uses pink ribbons or "cure" for their charities and promotions. Been involved in some recent scandals involving cutting funds to research places because of political reasons with their CEO.

[Droford]

start worrying and give up

[Cool King]

I'm not really interested in this match. :-\

[Corndad]

Is this the night Kane actually gets a legit win?....

Financial reports reveal Nancy Brinker, founder and CEO of the Susan G. Komen foundation, received a 64 percent raise for a total pay package of $684,000, and despite Brinker announcing she would be stepping aside 10 months ago, she is still CEO of the charity.

That's my issue. Not all charities are corrupted, but the Komen one is. Aside from the CEO, there are other people making bank from that corporation. There are people just as qualified who'll do it for less and give more.
They're also poorly managed, fiscally speaking. In 2010 about 40 percent of their funds went to public health education. People know what breast cancer is. Frankly they should cut that funding in half, and put it towards research.
Don't get me wrong- I'll donate and raise money for breast cancer charities, but not that one. I have a cousin fighting it, and lost an aunt. It's terrible, and hopefully one day there will be a cure, cheaper treatment, etc.


But that's neither here nor there. This is the Raw thread.
BOOOOO! IT'S CENA! BOOOO! HE PANDERS TO THE CROWD! I LIKE THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE DON'T LIKE.

[Corndad]

So how long til Rollins runs out?

[Corndad]

Love that closeline

[Theo Dious]

Forgive me if this has been said before, I haven't been keeping up with this place much, but why don't I hear the commentators suggesting that the beating Reigns got in the steel cage might have contributed to his need for emergency surgery?

[Corndad]

[Emperor Smeat]

Ambrose barely managed to avoid face planting the floor with that botch

[Poit]

That's my issue. Not all charities are corrupted, but the Komen one is. [stuff]

Oh, yeah, I wasn't defending Komen, just saying that spending lots of money on advertising isn't a bad thing for a charity.

Also, I'm finding this more interesting than the main event segment. :-\

Because the WWE instead gave the legit reason why he was hurt. Don't think they even let Rollins about contributing to it and instead went right back to the paused Ambrose feud.

[FourFifty]

I dislike having a part time champion with an active MITB in play. We know he won't cash it in any time soon, as the champion isn't even on the show.

[Dark One]

Haha Raw ends with a "Thank you Rollins" chant. Oh Chicago.

[Droford]

Rollins looks like he got into the same mustard that Jamie noble got ino

[Theo Dious]

Because the WWE instead gave the legit reason why he was hurt. Don't think they even let Rollins gloat about contributing to it and instead went right back to the paused Ambrose feud.

Whether or not it's a medically legit thing though you'd think they could pass of a prolonged beatdown of that sort as a contributing factor at least. I dunno just seems like they could push the idea a bit. It's not like they're ignoring Reigns until his return or anything.

[Dark One]

Pretty good Raw, in my opinion.

Dean Ambrose being positioned as at least #2 face is pretty cool. Definitely wouldn't have happened if Roman Reigns hadn't been knocked out by his intestine trying to escape, but Ambrose is making the most of it.

[Vastardikai]

I kind of want to believe that Rowan's days are numbered.

And... nothing of value was lost.

[Tom Guycott]

How you doin.

Unrelated to anything except seeing this quote and Dark One's avatar: did anyone *ever* answer William Regal's question about Enzo being DDP's love child?!

[el bobbo]

I believe so.

[Clerk]

JBL is so good on commentary he's hilarious.

Brie Bella beating 2 WWE Knockouts?

WWE copying Nickelodeans Slime stuff?

WWE teaming with Susan G Coleman again? Cool.

Kane's chest more chizzled than ever?

John Cena more passionate than ever?

Dean Ambrose Crazier than ever with that smile?

These are good.

[owenbrown]

you lost me out of the gate with that first statement, Clerk. :-\

We at WWE would like to apologize to the Russian people for the incident on Monday Night Raw that could have been construed as disrespect for their nation's flag.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Right but they don't issue apologies every week for the stuff Lana says? Meh don't really care.

[#1-norm-fan]

What exactly does that heel anti-American Russian character say every week that you think they should apologize for?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They apologize for shitting on Russia but not America. They show their flag in reverence every week, play their national anthem.

[#1-norm-fan]

... Yeah?

[Cool King]

I find myself to be quite the fan of the Russian National Anthem.

[#1-norm-fan]

Don't get me wrong, having to apologize for ANY of it is pretty stupid. But it's not exactly the same thing.

[slik]

Right but they don't issue apologies every week for the stuff Lana says? Meh don't really care.

please post this on their facebook page

[Theo Dious]

I honestly think this is just to put over what Show did as a radical act.

[Cool King]

Yeah, if they really were sorry, they wouldn't have uploaded a clip of it, along with the apology.

[Big Vic]

Wonder if brock lesnar will have a pink

Eat

shirt on if he is on TV during october.
