"Commercial free!"

[Xero]

As always: http://www.justin.tv/juan_a7x

[thedamndest]

lol, Trump looks like Sho'nuff.

[Jeritron]

YES

[thedamndest]

And now the best part of Raw is over.

[Indifferent Clox]

The pre-show?

[RawRocks]

After last week's clusterfuck non-exciting edition of Raw, hopefully there is an improvement in the product tonight

[Xero]

The thread has been created and stuck.

[Y2Ant]

will raw be live on that stream?

[ClockShot]

I got my Randy Savage DVD on stand-by in case this goes to hell in a handbasket real quick.

[KYR]

Unbackable odds right there.

[RatedGSuperstar]

WWE Raw Presented By Trump The Fragrance!

http://www.fragrancesandcosmetics.com.au/photos/48231.jpg

I still get a kick out of them piping in fake crowd cheers for the Trump announcement on this video package.

[Droford]

Im calling a double KO in the ME obviously.

and Trump is now in the opening too..

[Indifferent Clox]

I like that trump waws at the beginnning

[Testicle]

How long til Trump messes up someone's name?

[Droford]

So the Trump logo is plastered all over everything now?

[Testicle]

That hair should not be allowed on TV.

[RawRocks]

And the crowd goes wild

[ClockShot]

So you can ONLY collect you money when the show is over.

Uh oh.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Cheap pops for repping the green and gold in Green Bay. What a shitty looking t-shirt.

[ClockShot]

John Deere called, he wants his logo back.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Uh, John...if they already paid the money for the tickets and they're getting it back after the show, it's not free money. :shifty:

[Indifferent Clox]

John looked horrified for a second when miz didn't come out

[Jannettyzilla]

Hopefully Cena made a deal with Trump to get Miz squashed. :y:

[Corndad]

How many people will be buying that new Miz shirt lol

[Testicle]

This match is goning to be make it or break it for Miz.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Buried character.

[Testicle]

Sweet, Cena no sold it.

[Testicle]

Yay, Miz is shit, yay!

[Testicle]

Great booking.

[ClockShot]

I'm not watching TNA. Am I?

[Legend Killer]

Piggy Back Ride was classic.

[RatedGSuperstar]

PRODUCT PLACEMENT! Only 20 minutes in...awesome! :lol:

[Testicle]

No commercials huh.

[RawRocks]

First commercialized plug in .. KFC

[DarKCentaur]

1st plug! KFC

[ClockShot]

Ha ha. Jeff slipped.

[Legend Killer]

There's the first Product plug!!! LOL, too bad it wasn't Shelton Benjamin plugging it, or maybe even Cryme Tyme

[Testicle]

Whats the point of the brand draft again?

[Corndad]

LOL at Jeff's slip

[shawnrhodeisland]

yeah here comes the product placement. There's a lot of more too, I'm sure.

[KIRA]

THIS IS STIN....ERRRR Jeff Hardy

[DarKCentaur]

Yes! The Great Gary in action tonight!

[ClockShot]

KHALI SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RawRocks]

The Joker Wanna Be, The Tree Trunk and The Masked Man

[Legend Killer]

Is Punk gonna tag with Heels???

[DarKCentaur]

Mysterio is one of many people I would never want to see cloned.

[KIRA]

great the 61snore

[RatedGSuperstar]

Whats the point of the brand draft again?

All brands are on this show because apparently WWE figured out that no one can watch SmackDown on MyNetwork, so they're making this the go-home show for all 3 brands.

[ClockShot]

ZIGGY!

[RawRocks]

Hi, your Dolph Ziggler!

[DarKCentaur]

Ok I must say, Dolph Ziggler is rocking a nice Alex Wrightesque bulge.

[KIRA]

except anyone can google rey without mask and see it for free right now

[Corndad]

Wow Edge in this Match.

[Legend Killer]

NVM...it's edge

[ClockShot]

Hmph. How'd Khali and Ziggy get thrown in this match?

[Testicle]

All brands are on this show because apparently WWE figured out that no one can watch SmackDown on MyNetwork, so they're making this the go-home show for all 3 brands.

I know, its just that a month ago they said that the draft was final and wrestlers would only be on their own brand.

[RatedGSuperstar]

ZIGGLERMANIA, BABY!

Do we get Punk on commentary?

[DarKCentaur]

Punk, that outfit SO does not match.

[thecc]

Punk is such a hardcore kid. :D

[RatedGSuperstar]

If Punk really wanted heel heat in Green Bay, he'd come out with a Jay Cutler jersey.

[RawRocks]

wonder if Punk will eat some of that fried or grilled chicken there

[DarKCentaur]

Somebody should tell him skeleton shirts don't go with camo shorts.

[Krimzon7]

Hi guys, I'm here. Is that fucking KFC Fried and grilled chicken? Surprised the ring isn't plastered with logos.

[ClockShot]

If Punk really wanted heel heat in Green Bay, he'd come out with a Jay Cutler jersey.

Or the super secret Favre Vikings jersey.

[Krimzon7]

yeah, sure Khali fly.

[Testicle]

LOL, the countdowns back.

[DarKCentaur]

Uh oh, title match ISN'T the main again

[Krimzon7]

I love Edge.

[RatedGSuperstar]

WWE title match at the end of the first hour again? What the hell?

[RawRocks]

The chicken is tempting :D

[Krimzon7]

Can I have some chicken?

[Indifferent Clox]

what's the deal with this chicken?

[Krimzon7]

This commercial free RAw is brought to you by KFC

[Krimzon7]

We didn't say advertisement free.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Or the super secret Favre Vikings jersey.

Needless to say, if we go through this night without one Brett Favre crack the writers have failed us.

[Krimzon7]

Wish we would have gotten a run in. Slap him.. SLAP HIM!!!

[KIRA]

yes muta wins.....I mean jeff, jeff wins

[Krimzon7]

yes muta wins.....I mean jeff, jeff wins

dude, not cool...:'(

[Krimzon7]

ROTFL! McDonald's!!!

[KIRA]

OH MY GOD!

was that a Mc Ds plug really!

[RawRocks]

HA! Dionald Trump fires Santina

[Testicle]

Lol, good editing.

[ClockShot]

Ouch. Ms. California burn.

[Krimzon7]

Great!!! I love this fucking guy

[DarKCentaur]

I TOLD YOU GUYS SANTINA WAS REALLY HIS SISTER.

[DarKCentaur]

Now, I haven't seen much of the Colons, so I have a question: does Primo also spit in the faces of people who don't wanna be cool?

[DarKCentaur]

Is this ANOTHER new Priceless theme?

[KIRA]

Wow theyre wearin each others pants

not the best time for them to make gay jokes

[Triple Naitch]

Priceless theme #7?

[ClockShot]

Sounds like it.

Should really go back to the first.

[RawRocks]

hey there is that countdown clock again

[Krimzon7]

I like the Priceless remix best.

[Testicle]

God, fuck that countdown.

[Krimzon7]

God I hate Primo

[Legend Killer]

Cole just corrected The King... The world has come to an end...

[KIRA]

Michael Cole is the biggest tool/kfc shill on earth

[Testicle]

Isn't the point of wrestling to make it seem real, how can it seem real when you have a fucking clock telling you that the current matches will be overwith in time for the championship match.

Not to mention the championship match is at the end of the first hour again.

[Krimzon7]

Do any of the voices in your head agree with me when I say you're fucking awesome?

[Testicle]

Who gave CAWdy a singles match on RAW?

[Krimzon7]

Isn't the point of wrestling to make it seem real, how can it seem real when you have a fucking clock telling you that the current matches will be overwith in time for the championship match.

Not to mention the championship match is at the end of the first hour again.
How about if, when in a match, you take the time to do a random cartwheel?

[Krimzon7]

What a great rival....

fuck you michael cole.

[RawRocks]

Texas 6 LSU 4 - Botom 8th

[NeanderCarl]

WWE likes their revisionist history and wants to return to kayfabe and be completely insular, yet they remain self-indulgent and in-jokey when it suits them. Anyone actually get the Goldberg dig? Not on here, I mean in the crowd and the general audience.... I'd wager very few.

[ClockShot]

Great video. Until the end.

[ministrychick77]

at least all the recaps make for good piss breaks

[Indifferent Clox]

matches have time limits

[ClockShot]

And I was hoping for non-stop matches.

[ClockShot]

All right. I can cut out after this.

[RawRocks]

If they were smart, they would drag the match into Vince's office.

[Testicle]

matches have time limits

The WWE has not acknowledged time limits in years.

[ClockShot]

A smart writer would be overqualifed for the job.

[KIRA]

And the look on Randys face says he hears every one of those voices.

[RawRocks]

A smart writer would be overqualifed for the job.

this is true :nono:

[KIRA]

wheres zeebo theres a clear cut heel/face reaction he should be here creaming him self from nostolgic bliss

[Krimzon7]

And the look on Randys face says he hears every one of those voices.


What a great post.

[KIRA]

a sturdy table for once

[Legend Killer]

Man that back drop was Sid Vicious!!!

[DarKCentaur]

HHH looks dangerously close to tearing that quad again

[KIRA]

HHH looks dangerously close to tearing that quad again one can only hope

[mike adamle]

I thought he tore another quad for a second

[RawRocks]

HHH looks dangerously close to tearing that quad again

not that i wish injury on him, if it means getting him off TV for a while it would be worth it.

[Testicle]

Good match.

[Testicle]

I see blood.

[Krimzon7]

WAS THAT SIM??? WHICH FCW TALENT WAS THAT?

[mike adamle]

This could've happened at wrestlemania

[ClockShot]

Plant or real?

[Legend Killer]

That ladder shot was Sid Vicious

[Beauser]

Plant or real?

Looked pretty real on the camera guy, but they replayed a shitty angle...

[KIRA]

Is cole calling orton a viper his way of trying to get it to stick ala JR calling austin a rattlesnake or kane the big red machine?

[DaVe]

Helmsley can't get up now.

[DaVe]

Gah, damn, I spoke too soon.

[Testicle]

Took the pedigree kinda crappy.

[ClockShot]

You can't be serious.

[Krimzon7]

Bullshit finish.

[Corndad]

Oh Geez. I guess ya can't expect a title change on a Raw anymore.

[Triple Naitch]

Not shocked though.

[Krimzon7]

HHH going for the Pedigree was purely instinct, which by the way could be picked up at your nearest Sprint retailer!

[What Would Kevin Do?]

That was seriously one of the best endings to a Last Man Standing match ever... They managed to pull out the draw really intelligently. Moreso than the typical "man hits finisher but is too tired to get up." The idea that Orton worked over the leg so much that HHH's pedigree did him in was brillant.

[RawRocks]

Texas 6 LSU 6 - Bottom 9th

[ClockShot]

Hmmmmm. I could see Miz winning at the bash.

[DarKCentaur]

Oh man, Rage in the Cage!

[Krimzon7]

You. Make. A. Really. Good. Point. W.W.K.D.

[Krimzon7]

Fuck, doesn't Trump know how to hold the ropes open for the hoes?

[ClockShot]

Nope.

[DarKCentaur]

Oh boy. Celeberity hosts. Thanks Donald.

[KIRA]

please no....just no

[ClockShot]

Celebrity General Manager.

Even a BETTER reason to not tune in.

[Krimzon7]

You know this could actually go somewhere...

[RawRocks]

No GM in the Trump era

[Legend Killer]

K-Fed Special Guest Host cuz he's Sid Vicious!!!

[DarKCentaur]

It's nice that he doesn't believe in them, but I think Regal or Flair can logically run a show better than Dennis Rodman.

[KIRA]

we're gonna run things and we're gonna run em into the ground its gonna be fantastic

[ClockShot]

Vince you dumb bastard. Bet you're regretting selling Raw now, aren't ya?

[Krimzon7]

If Vince would have said This isn't TNA!!!! I'd have shit myself

[ClockShot]

BUT IT BACK! BUY IT BACK! BUY IT BACK!

[Krimzon7]

sell it to bischoff for 1 dollar. This would be fucking gold!

[Shaggy]

Would be funny if Vince purchased it back...and then we went to a commercial break

[KIRA]

If Vince would have said This isn't TNA!!!! I'd have shit myself I wouldve laughed myself into a coma

[ClockShot]

YEA!

[Corndad]

HAHAHA the Trump storyline is over already HAHAHA

[KIRA]

oh yea its PG cant say ass

[Legend Killer]

Something different, I liked it.

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

I don't even understand this storyline. Why would Trump buy Raw if all the profits were still going to McMahon anyway? What the hell did he buy, the right to give people money back?

[Legend Killer]

Vince used this to turn himself HEEL, BIG TIME HEEL!!!

[Triple Naitch]

Are we sure Colonel Sanders didn't buy Raw instead?

[KIRA]

Michael coles commentary is clearly intended for the hearing impaired or those with extremly short attention spans

[NeanderCarl]

I don't even understand this storyline. Why would Trump buy Raw if all the profits were still going to McMahon anyway? What the hell did he buy, the right to give people money back?

I think the idea was that he bought Raw as a franchise. Vince would be the franchisor, Trump would own the Raw brand, but operating under the WWE umbrella as owned by Vince McMahon.

Moot now though, seeing as it looks like the story is over already. That was fairly pointless.

[Cactus Sid]

hell in a cell.....

[DarKCentaur]

Oh man, a three stages of hell match!

[ClockShot]

3 stages of hell? What is this, Extreme Rules II?

[Cactus Sid]

oooh maybe not, 3 stages of hell though

Is it me or have they done nothing to promote the Bash at all?

[NeanderCarl]

So what the fuck, is Vince a face or a heel? Or do these things just not matter even in the slightest nowadays?

[KIRA]

*closes book* Dante here says there are eight stages of hell but oh well

[DarKCentaur]

Vince is just angry.

[RawRocks]

well.. so much for that

[ClockShot]

Whatever.

Punching out for the night.

[Krimzon7]

GODDAMN MARYSE IS HOT

[KIRA]

the heel divas look like they belong in the justice league

[RawRocks]

WWE, here is an idea.. why not move all the divas matches to WWE Superstars and build a brand just for the divas.

[DarKCentaur]

Now that Vince is back in charge, there's still time to appoint a new GM......


...... GM

[Johnny Vegas]

There, are some of you crybaby fucks happy now. Bitching all fucking week about a trump storyline and how it was ridiculous. I think it would've been innovative and something different. But you negative babydicks got what you wanted.

[Cactus Sid]

So what are the matches set for the PPV? Orton/HHH, Jericho/Mysterio, Colons/Legacy and Punk/Hardy.....is that it?

[DarKCentaur]

WWE, here is an idea.. why not move all the divas matches to WWE Superstars and build a brand just for the divas.

Wasn't TNA gonna do that? Whatever happened to that idea anyway, that actually might have worked.

[DarKCentaur]

I think Mickie vs Maryse as well.

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

I think the idea was that he bought Raw as a franchise. Vince would be the franchisor, Trump would own the Raw brand, but operating under the WWE umbrella as owned by Vince McMahon.

Moot now though, seeing as it looks like the story is over already. That was fairly pointless.

In that setup how would the Raw owner, Trump, make money?

[Krimzon7]

Crotch shot!!!! Did you see the print?!?!?!?!?!?!

[KIRA]

Wasn't TNA gonna do that? Whatever happened to that idea anyway, that actually might have worked.

Yep the differince being that I could actually watch a show based around the TNA knockouts

[The Show Off]

There, are some of you crybaby fucks happy now. Bitching all fucking week about a trump storyline and how it was ridiculous. I think it would've been innovative and something different. But you negative babydicks got what you wanted.

Yes because the WWE cares about the people on TPWW.

[RawRocks]

National Treasure commercial free? hmm!

[Krimzon7]

Big Show can pwn that bucket of chicken

[DarKCentaur]

I'm liking Big Show's new moveset

[DarKCentaur]

I wanna see him do a Styles Clash next.

[Krimzon7]

I just want to see him connect on a Vader Bomb!

[parkmania]

So apparently Wall Street has enough brokers that are marks to make Vince cut the Trump storyline short.

Ah well, maybe it really ISN'T a good time to become a WWE stockholder.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I just want to see him connect on a Vader Bomb!

He did that on the last show I watched, or saw clips of... I can't remember.

[The Show Off]

I'd like Big Show to win clean over Cena once...

[RatedGSuperstar]

Crotch shot!!!! Did you see the print?!?!?!?!?!?!

Someone needs to rewind the DVR and post a screen cap. :D

Tuned out when the Big Show came out. Let me know if The Miz does something good, or if he just gets shit on to close the show.

[RawRocks]

we need a Big Slow - Miz storyline

[LoDownM]

So wait, the "Sneak Peak" for Transformers they hyped up for the last 30 minutes was the trailer thats been out for months?

[Krimzon7]

ZING!!!

[Dr. Abyss]

Man it was weird watching RAW without commercials.

[The Pope]

was it boring?

[DAMN iNATOR]

was it boring?

RAW tonight was OK, but it was still pretty much a snooze fest. I'd give it a C-...

[Kane Knight]

There, are some of you crybaby fucks happy now. Bitching all fucking week about a trump storyline and how it was ridiculous. I think it would've been innovative and something different. But you negative babydicks got what you wanted.

Maybe if you ask nice, Vince will keep the storyline going. I mean, tanking his stock and ruining his portfolio, not to mention his history of profitability is a small price to pay to keep you happy, princess. :kiss:

[DAMN iNATOR]

Maybe if you ask nice, Vince will keep the storyline going. I mean, tanking his stock and ruining his portfolio, not to mention his history of profitability is a small price to pay to keep you happy, princess. :kiss:

Nah, Vince doesn't wanna go to prison. Based on what he said about gas stations, I'm guessing he's never been to or seen one either.

[Stealth-Icon]

Well, I just got home to watch this off my DVR and wow what a let down of a show. I for some odd reason actually was looking forward to this show tonight. It had its moments, but not in any matches unfortunately. It had some good side spots, best one being Vince's new office and Fetus coming out of it and handing him the paper. I also liked Jeff slipping atop the ramp. Pretty funny.

The McDonald segment (vince and trump) in the ring was horrible. HHH vs. Orton was yet again another let down of what should be a good match between them. I thought the way it ended being a draw was fine, but I really forgot how much a last man standing match can suck. After only a couple of minutes in the match it becomes one move, 7 count, one move 8 count, hold each other for a minute, do a move and a 9 count. over and over again. I just wish that I could somehow get money back for this. We should be paid for being tortured like this.

I hope that TNA steps it up to compete and force WWE to get better. I won't be holding my breath though.

[Beauser]

I hope that TNA steps it up to compete

:yes: :lol: :yes:

[NeanderCarl]

In that setup how would the Raw owner, Trump, make money?

In the same way any franchisee would make money. Make a bunch of profit, WWE gets their percentage, Trump gets the remainder.

[Johnny Vegas]

Maybe if you ask nice, Vince will keep the storyline going. I mean, tanking his stock and ruining his portfolio, not to mention his history of profitability is a small price to pay to keep you happy, princess. :kiss:

wtf

gay
