Tonight at 8/7 CT A very Raw Christmas

Ho Ho Hogan takes the reins of tonight's Raw, where Roman Reigns takes on Big Show, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper hosts a special edition of "Piper's Pit" and Dean Ambrose faces Bray Wyatt in a Miracle on 34th Street Fight! Don't miss any of this merry mayhem!

Rusev on Piper's Pit... calling it now....

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Yay, Piper can be a dick to Lana, Rusev can stand up to him, and he can be made to look like a villain some more.

[Savio]

Guaranteed that will happen.

[Savio]

Should have been Hanukkah Hogan #SJW

[Tom Guycott]

I wonder if Dean Ambrose is hiding in one of those gifts...

[Tom Guycott]

I'm also willing to bet that, just to be a smartass, at least 2 people told Big Show that he needs to make Roman look strong.

[Crimson]

I agree with Rollins ,nobody wants to hear Cena's voice anymore

[Droford]

I was hoping for a Santa with muscles reference

[Volare]

Brock lives in Saskatchewan now anyways, plus that would be a cooler place to hail him from.

[Lock Jaw]

Brock lives in Saskatchewan now anyways, plus that would be a cooler place to hail him from.

Also renamed the title the Saskatchewan Heavyweight International Title

[Lock Jaw]

Give Seth Rollins some "heat" from beating John Cena. Take it away the next week.

[Emperor Smeat]

Good match to start the show. Think that's the third time in a row Cena had no trouble dominating Rollins and J & J Security for a while.

[Volare]

TY to the one.

[Droford]

Lol bah humbug kane

[Innovator]

Reigns better look strong

[Droford]

Lol swaggie push is over

[Lock Jaw]

Super serious Dolph promo

[dronepool]

Hm

[Lock Jaw]

Need to fill some time? Play the New Day pre-debut promo again

[dronepool]

I hate this stable.

[Droford]

Its a newer day

[Droford]

Hmm.. Adam rose vs R truth

[Droford]

Bunny buster

[Emperor Smeat]

Well that explains Smackdown's spoilers for this week.

[Lock Jaw]

HE KNEED THE STAIRS!!! BAH GAWD!!! THOSE STAIRS HAD A FAMILY!!

[Innovator]

Woooo E and C

[Lock Jaw]

CHRISTIAN!!!! WITH TYLER BREEZE THEME!!! Also, Edge!

Next week gonna be good!

[dronepool]

RAW is not taped next week?

[Droford]

Its in DC.. Could have gone

[Lock Jaw]

No Dean Ambrose-sized presents....

[Lock Jaw]

Ha ha... dude taking a selfie.... someone find it....

[KIRA]

Roman looks like he has the Punisher logo on his chest

[Lock Jaw]

Roman Reigns really needs to Adapt or Perish.... Ambrose and Rollins have embraced Evolution and changed.... Reigns just feels like he is "stagnating", trying to cling to something that is gone.

[Lock Jaw]

Crowd not into Reigns at all this week....

[Droford]

I bet Ambrose gets a tv in one of his boxes

[Lock Jaw]

Should have said all he wants for Christmas are Bray Wyatt's two front teeth.

[Volare]

Titty Master strikes again!

[Savio]

Alicia Fox is face again?

[Innovator]

Tyson wearing Nikki's hat, little things

[Corndad]

Well least seems Nattie is getting next PPV shot at the Title.

[Lock Jaw]

Nattie reminding me of Grandma Ben right there with the tussled hair and the expression on her face

[Savio]

Natty has the right to be heelish, she still gets jealous.

[Volare]

Lanna eh King?

[el bobbo]

I forgot Raw was on this week. I think it's too late for me to give a shit, and the same goes for next week.

I will see the WWE again in 2014.

[dronepool]

Maybe now I'll watch Smackdown on THURSDAY!

[Lock Jaw]

WARRIOR

[Savio]

Well you don't have much time after that date.

[Lock Jaw]

Ascension probably shouldn't be talking so much.

Should be just murdering people.

[KIRA]

Ascension cutting the most 80's promo they can

[Emperor Smeat]

Matadors got new music or this just a one-off theme?

[Lock Jaw]

When did they put Rey Mysterio in that bull suit?

[Lock Jaw]

Matadors got new music or this just a one-off theme?

Xmas remix

[Lock Jaw]

I wonder in what context #RomanvsBigShow is trending....

[Poit]

Ascension probably shouldn't be talking so much.

Needs more yah.

[Lock Jaw]

Nah, the "yah" thing is dumb. One of the things the NXT crowd does that I hate.

[Mercenary]

My raw keeps going out

[Droford]

For all the hair on harpers head hes got a nice bald spot going

[Lock Jaw]

I wanna see an angle where Dolph defends his title every week, but somehow holds onto it for an entire year....

[KIRA]

Some how some way there needs to be a triple threat with Dolph,Harper and Kingston it would be a hell of a match

[KIRA]

For all the hair on harpers head hes got a nice bald spot going

Thats due to a shot to the head he took and he opted not to fix it

[Droford]

Bondage Is Bad: Luke Harper's black handkerchief in his back left pocket marks him in the somewhat outdated handkerchief code as a BDSM top. It also has a touch of Depraved Homosexual as the code was pretty much entirely used by the gay community and considering we're talking about the PG WWE here, certainly an example of Getting Crap Past the Radar.

[KIRA]

So super kicking Harper just does not work it didn't work for the Usos or Dolph.

[KIRA]

I see somebody likes TV tropes as much as I do

[Lock Jaw]

Fantastic match.... love Ziggler's character/booking right now.

[Lock Jaw]

Now who is going to interrupt

[Droford]

Bad news time?

[Droford]

I see somebody likes TV tropes as much as I do

I was unaware they did wrestling stuff til i looked up his head

[Lock Jaw]

Dolph holds onto the IC title until Wrestlemania 32 where he fights the champ in a champ vs champ match, and he wins.

[KIRA]

Dolph is phenomenal heres hoping 2015 is his year

[Lock Jaw]

So what is the main event of this show... Piper's Pit?

They've already had two main event caliber matches, and we're just about to head into the third hour.

[Lock Jaw]

Well, Piper's Pit isn't the main event, then.

[Lock Jaw]

I like how the camera crew always finds hot brauds in the crowd

[Droford]

So what is the main event of this show... Piper's Pit?

They've already had two main event caliber matches, and we're just about to head into the third hour.

Wyatt/Ambrose

[Lock Jaw]

Oh yeah, those guys.

[Droford]

Russof

[KIRA]

Aww man I was hoping for Wyatt/Ambrose in the pit that would've been great.

[Lock Jaw]

Why does Cole pronounce Putin as "Pewtin"?

[Poit]

Break his Ryback, make him humble!

[Lock Jaw]

THE BOW GUY Ryback

[KIRA]

Paige has very vocal fans

[KIRA]

TAG ALICIA GODDAMNIT

[KIRA]

YES!

[KIRA]

Well RAW just gave me the greatest gift they could.

[Emperor Smeat]

A lot better than last year's Christmas divas match.

Last year's match as a reference:

I'm gonna start banning people who keep posting large gif's. Slows down the mobile versions of the boards.

Sorry, terrible post.

[Lock Jaw]

I'm gonna start banning people who keep posting large gif's. Slows down the mobile versions of the boards.

With the exception of WWE Paige gifs, which should be as big as possible, right?

[Lock Jaw]

Also this gif, which should be bigger:

Ambrose should attack him mid-entrance

[Droford]

I hope the lights on those trees dont short out

[KIRA]

Bray wearing a Chritmas themed shirt wouldve been good but horribly ooc

[KIRA]

He's kinda right

[Lock Jaw]

[Droford]

All you have to do is..

Thought he might say bolieve

[KIRA]

Thats a bit creepy and cute at the same time

[Droford]

Bray should open boxes to get pieces of wood to reassemble the chair

[Droford]

Lol he got a tv

[Lock Jaw]

Best was that time that Alberto Del Rio got a teddy bear and chucked it at John Cena full force and Ricardo was like "I'm sorry, I thought it was a bazooka!"

[Lock Jaw]

I'd post a gif but Tazz Dan might ban me

[Tazz Dan]

With the exception of WWE Paige gifs, which should be as big as possible, right?

Half the ones you post don't load on my phone, I just get a blank square in the top left corner, there's just a blank space where your post should be. If there's a few on a page though, it slows it right up or crashes it on me, so I just skip it. Which sucks if it takes FOREVER in the 100,001 replies thread for a page to change. And pulling my laptop out is just too hard to only check the forum.

[Droford]

Who could forget last year when mark henry got a toilet

I would do that too, as a joke. But I don't want you pulling a #1-wwf-fan on me and having a cry to Triple A about it.

[Droford]

First ever "one more tree" chant

[Poit]

That kendo stick looks like a Christmas lightsaber.

[Tom Guycott]

First ever "one more tree" chant

Seems as though they called an audible for that spot too. Outstanding.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch.

[Droford]

Basically a tables ladders chairs canes wreaths trees and presents match

[Lock Jaw]

RIP Ambrose again.

Dude's won like three matches since leaving The Shield.

[tman220]

weak ending

[Corndad]

Dean will get the best of him after the match.

[Lock Jaw]

I would do that too, as a joke. But I don't want you pulling a #1-wwf-fan on me and having a cry to Triple A about it.

I don't cry.... I would probably just be like "Ha ha, oh, that Tazz Dan!"

[Tom Guycott]

I'm digging this match for a couple reasons: entertaining in spite of almost bordering on "shopping cart full of bullshit" hardcore style matchup- it added to the carnage between the two. Also, its a main event without having "main event" talent, and it was still a match that deserved to close the show. And then, this does nothing but aid in creating history between these two.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Philadelphia is going to eat this current product alive next month.</font>

[Dark One]

Just watched the show, since I had holiday stuff last night. I'm still in disbelief Michael Cole legit called a "Michinoku Driver."

What bizarre world am I in?

[Lock Jaw]

He has done so pretty much every time Harper has used it....

[Dark One]

I guess I've just stopped listening to the dick tickling about who can make the most out-dated reference on commentary most of the time and must have missed it before. That doesn't change the fact that it still sounds super weird to hear a move called something other than the super generic "slam" "powerbomb" or "suplex" nearly every non-finisher. Especially from Cole.

[Innovator]

I love that Lawler wanted to know why it was called that, WHEN HE WORKED A PROGRAM WITH TAKA

[Anybody Thrilla]

I would do that too, as a joke. But I don't want you pulling a #1-wwf-fan on me and having a cry to Triple A about it.

Why would you make this post?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Why would you question it?

[#1-norm-fan]

Why would you question ABT questioning it?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

why would you question me questioning Thrilla questioning a terminally ill cool dude?
