Official RAW Thread for 09/07/09 - Santino Marella, COME ON DOWN!

[screech]

Can't decide if I wanna see 9 or not.

[parkmania]

Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal!!!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Orton and Masters?

I don't think that's a tag match. I think it's two singles matches. Could be wrong, though.

[Emperor Smeat]

Raw 15th Anniversary show.

So it wasn't a normal RAW episode. Had a feeling it probably wouldn't have been a RAW from last few years at least.

[ClockShot]

Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal!!!

I thought it was break the deal, spin the wheel.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I need some Estrada glasses.

[The Gold Standard]

I love that show Chips

[screech]

I really like this anti-weed commercial and I don't know why.

[Indifferent Clox]

Um

[The Gold Standard]

I don't think that's a tag match. I think it's two singles matches. Could be wrong, though.

Oh, that makes more sense.

[parkmania]

Now we know what Armando was missing from really being over - Estrada sunglasses!

[RatedGSuperstar]

Can't decide if I wanna see 9 or not.

I'm usually a Tim Burton fan, but I'm in the same boat you are with 9.

[screech]

What a horrid match.

[ClockShot]

Let's get another contestant!

[mike adamle]

Ugh.

[screech]

I hate Chavo, but he'd better get a huge push after this.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Oh phuck.

[ClockShot]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice ride.

[The Gold Standard]

How funny would it have been if they said he could have won a decent push

[parkmania]

well, we know Chavo's not winning this week...

[mike adamle]

I take my ugh back.

[Favre4Ever]

wait no swog embarrasment tonight?

[Anybody Thrilla]

OK, I can deal with this.

[The Gold Standard]

I will say it again. Either Bourne pissed someone off or this is a legit push for Chavo.

[screech]

How funny would it have been if they said he could have won a decent push

lol

[screech]

wait no swog embarrasment tonight?

Match isn't over yet.

[RatedGSuperstar]

At least a Chavo/Evan feud should be watchable if they give them more than 2:30 in the ring.

[Johnny Vegas]

definitely could be a good match here

[The Gold Standard]

It is a tag match.

[The Gold Standard]

definitely could be a good match here

Must agree even though I hate Chavo

[screech]

So does anyone think Mr. Barker is actually a wrestling fan?

[parkmania]

Shame it wasn't a low-rider.

[Favre4Ever]

this is odd...not used to chavo not jobbing in the first 30 seconds.

[Jannettyzilla]

Anyone else notice how Cole makes a jizzing sound every time Bourne appears? :-\

[Anybody Thrilla]

So Orton and Masters ARE teaming.

What if Chavo cheats to win and then Hornswoggle ruins the car?

[screech]

Must agree even though I hate Chavo

Depending on his opponent, he can put on a good match. Others (Noid) will disagree, but that's my opinion.

[Evil Vito]

So Orton and Masters ARE teaming.

What if Chavo cheats to win and then Hornswoggle ruins the car?

<font color=goldenrod>I can see that happening. That little shit is bound to get involved somehow.</font>

[Jannettyzilla]

So does anyone think Mr. Barker is actually a wrestling fan?

I thought that's why they got him, because he was a big fan.

[ClockShot]

Wowsers!

[The Gold Standard]

So does anyone think Mr. Barker is actually a wrestling fan?

I think that with every guest host

[screech]

I thought that's why they got him, because he was a big fan.

Could be because he is the man.

[Favre4Ever]

jesus christ

[The Gold Standard]

Shouldnt that be a DQ in WWE rules?

[screech]

No DQ?

[mike adamle]

DQ!

[ClockShot]

Just as it was getting good.....

[The Gold Standard]

what a weird pin

[screech]

jesus christ

Called it.

[screech]

That was actually a good match too.

[The Gold Standard]

Pinto...I think that was a little racist King

[ClockShot]

Nothing for nothing, but if I were Chavo, I'd cut and run if given the chance.

[Jannettyzilla]

Yeah, if hitting someone that's trying to interfere is a DQ, that should have been a DQ.

I declare Chavo wins the car.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Bourneswoggle is a crap team. When are they gonna can Horny?

[RatedGSuperstar]

Kind of pathetic that it takes Bourne longer to beat Chavo than Horny did the past few weeks. Too bad they didn't put him on SD instead.

[screech]

So how long will this squash last?

[The Gold Standard]

Nothing for nothing, but if I were Chavo, I'd cut and run if given the chance.

I just wish he was fired. He is useless now

[The Gold Standard]

Also, Chavo is not going to make that big of a difference in TNA

[parkmania]

Cena not in the main event? I guess DX vs. O-Tron/Masterbaiter ends the show.

[The Gold Standard]

Cena not in the main event? I guess DX vs. O-Tron/Masterbaiter ends the show.

That is because Trips goes over everyone. AND I LOVE IT!

[The Gold Standard]

I may get some heat for this, but I will admit that I am a huge HHH fan

[parkmania]

The Informant! just looks dumb.

[Emperor Smeat]

This feud is going to have one of the weirdest endings since no way can they make Chavo look good unless he completely destroys Swog but at same time Swog doesn't gain anything from winning this feud besides entertaining the crowd.

MVP's problem was he was on a loosing streak and not embarrassed as a character then pushed as legit once he started winning again. Chavo doesn't have anything similar to MVP's streak.

[The Gold Standard]

The Informant! just looks dumb.

I need to see more for it to make a good opinion

[screech]

Also, Chavo is not going to make that big of a difference in TNA

But, every TNA signing is THE BIGGEST SIGNING IN TNA HISTORY!!!


:shifty: :shifty: :shifty:

[Jannettyzilla]

Since when does poorly booked equal useless?

Chavo's gotta be in the top half of Raw, talentwise. He can work a mic, can play face and heel....he just happens to be stuck in a three month feud with a midget after Driving Miss Vicky for a year.

Ah, who am I kidding, let him go somewhere he can actually wrestle.

[The Gold Standard]

But, every TNA signing is THE BIGGEST SIGNING IN TNA HISTORY!!!


:shifty: :shifty: :shifty:

:shifty::shifty::shifty::shifty::shifty::shifty:

[RatedGSuperstar]

Cena not in the main event? I guess DX vs. O-Tron/Masterbaiter ends the show.

The Rule of Cena: If he's not in the night's main event, he has to be on screen to start the second hour.

[screech]

The Informant! just looks dumb.

Has a good cast. I may see it.

[The Gold Standard]

Oh here is the RKO. Why did they leave it out of the package?

[parkmania]

CAWdy's gonna cry!

[ClockShot]

IT'S A NEW DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

IT'S A NEW GENERATIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

[screech]

Loving this new Legacy theme :y:

[ClockShot]

TNA is in Florida, A.J.

[screech]

Oh here is the RKO. Why did they leave it out of the package?

My guess is they wanted to highlight Rhodes as host rather than teasing the CAWdy turn.

[The Gold Standard]

I will say, I have hated Cody since day 1, but he grew on me last week

[RatedGSuperstar]

Cody's been hitting the juice pretty hard over the past year. He almost looks like a real wrestler now.

[NeanderCarl]

Cody will be bald in 5 years.

[screech]

He's a main-eventer?

[The Gold Standard]

Cody is a ME?

[Emperor Smeat]

Loving this new Legacy theme :y:

Yeup sounds much better than the original. Most of the time the intro part could barely be heard.

[Favre4Ever]

i mean this has to be going somewhere, they can't really be like, "let's make them hate Cody more" as if that's necessary.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Yeah, no one has made Cody a main eventer.

[screech]

I will say, I have hated Cody since day 1, but he grew on me last week

Same here. His promos aren't awful, but I can't get over his lisp. I can't embrace it like I can with Swagger's.

[screech]

Cody's been hitting the juice pretty hard over the past year. He almost looks like a real wrestler now.

lol real wrestler

[Favre4Ever]

also when Cody gets a close up his ten million unsightly face moles are revealed.

[ClockShot]

SHELLY DUNCAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Wonder how short this one will be.</font>

[Anybody Thrilla]

Submissions count anywhere....I don't know why, but that just seems ridiculous to me.

[parkmania]

Can't wait for Rhodes to team with Swagger - call them "Legathy"

[The Gold Standard]

SHELLY DUNCAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[screech]

Can't wait for Rhodes to team with Swagger - call them "Legathy"

lol

[The Gold Standard]

Submissions count anywhere....I don't know why, but that just seems ridiculous to me.

I am pretty sure it is so DX can win via dueling sharpshooters backstage so they don't get killed in the ring

[screech]

Was the last 'I Quit' match between Chavo and Rey?

[Emperor Smeat]

Umm don't people use "I Quit" a lot when they want to quit a job in life. Never knew it was a bad or horrible word.

[Jannettyzilla]

He's a main-eventer?

He main-evented Backlash. :lol:

[Innovator]

Great RAW thus far highlighted by the return of Shelley "Slam" Duncan

[Anybody Thrilla]

Wet looks pretty wicked.

[The Gold Standard]

Great RAW thus far highlighted by the return of Shelley "Slam" Duncan

Couldn't agree more

[Anybody Thrilla]

Who is Shelley Duncan? That chick in the crowd? What does she do?

[The Gold Standard]

Saw Extract this weekend. Not so good

[Jannettyzilla]

If I am ever divorced and/or have a spouse that dies and have kids and they try to give me hair coloring and tell me it's time, I will put those little skanks up for adoption. :n:

[The Gold Standard]

Who is Shelley Duncan? That chick in the crowd? What does she do?

Outfielder/1st Baseman on the Yankees

[screech]

Tomorrow's ECW ME would be good if Dreamer didn't suck.

[Favre4Ever]

Cody needs some fucking knee pads.

[Jannettyzilla]

Wet looks pretty wicked.The demo's fantastic, but I wonder if it might get repetitive.

[screech]

Outfielder/1st Baseman on the Yankees

And the ugliest man in baseball.

[RatedGSuperstar]

lol real wrestler

That's why I said almost. :lol:

[screech]

Cody needs some fucking talent.

[The Gold Standard]

CERVELLI IS BACK

[Anybody Thrilla]

Tomorrow's ECW ME would be good if Dreamer didn't suck.

Zeke Jackson is hardly impressive either.

[parkmania]

Hoping that there's a backstage DX segment with a Drew Carey lookalike that Shawn says something like "This is for Bob!" and superkicks him.

[Favre4Ever]

Cody needs some fucking mole removal surgery.

[screech]

RGS, I love your avatar. Just had to share that.

[Innovator]

Jesus Cole

"WHAT IS RHODES DOING"

HES WORKING OVER A FUCKING BODY PART

[Innovator]

WOOOOOOOO CERVELLI!

[Innovator]

World's Fastest Catcher

[Favre4Ever]

that was the most random armbar ever.

[The Gold Standard]

Zeke Jackson is hardly impressive either.

He and Kozzy have the same finisher

[Indifferent Clox]

Not as random as Jericho's

[Innovator]

KIMURA!

[screech]

Zeke Jackson is hardly impressive either.

I am a fan.

[The Gold Standard]

WOOOOOOOO CERVELLI!

He should be starting. I like him better than Jorge

[parkmania]

That's actually a smart counter to someone sliding toward the ropes. Gotta give Rhodes credit.

[screech]

VINTAGE!

[ClockShot]

Not to bash CAWdy or anything, but why is this match still going?

[Favre4Ever]

"That's vintage Cena." Jesus.

[Innovator]

He should be starting. I like him better than Jorge
Catcher of the future when Jorge starts to DH

[mike adamle]

CAWdy's having a decent match.

[redwings3431]

rofl at "vintage cena"

[Triple Naitch]

Twisty?

[Favre4Ever]

wait so that run in gets a DQ but the swog didn't?

[ClockShot]

Pointless.

[The Gold Standard]

Not to bash CAWdy or anything, but why is this match still going?

[RatedGSuperstar]

I love how CAWdy is suddenly busting out all these submission holds. It's like they got to being a week away from Breaking Point and realized, "SHIT! Half the people on the card never use a submission hold!"

[screech]

I can't say it enough.

I hate listening to Michael Cole.

[parkmania]

wait so that run in gets a DQ but the swog didn't?

That's what you get for not reading the script!


Besides, we're not supposed to remember what happened 20 minutes ago - that's why we have 20 recaps every week.

[The Gold Standard]

Masters is so taking a SCM/Pedigree combo

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why wouldn't they just put Ted in that tag match?

[Jannettyzilla]

Yeah, if hitting someone that's trying to interfere is a DQ, that should have been a DQ.

I declare Chavo wins the car.Thank you, Cena match, for making my point.

[screech]

I think I am going to get the SD! DVD

[The Gold Standard]

I just want to see all of the superstars line up and Trips Pedigree them one at a time

[The Gold Standard]

I think I am going to get the SD! DVD

LET ME BORROW IT

[Jannettyzilla]

I love how CAWdy is suddenly busting out all these submission holds. It's like they got to being a week away from Breaking Point and realized, "SHIT! Half the people on the card never use a submission hold!"

Indeed. We're looking at 3 submission matches featuring 8 wrestlers, and only two of them have regularly used submission finishers.

Should be hilarious. (ly bad.)

[screech]

So, this pizza is stuffed crust with the cheese on the outside? How the hell did it take them ten years to figure that out?

[screech]

Just ball parked the ten years. I can't remember when stuffed crust debuted.

[The Gold Standard]

So, this pizza is stuffed crust with the cheese on the outside? How the hell did it take them ten years to figure that out?

To me that is a regular pizza. The cheese is always on the outside. Why mess with stuffed crust? It is the best. Unless it is stuffed and on top.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Jim Breuer probably hates life.

[Innovator]

So, this pizza is stuffed crust with the cheese on the outside? How the hell did it take them ten years to figure that out?
Well it took ten years for Jim Bruer to get back on TV

[Jannettyzilla]

Oh shit.

[parkmania]

So, this pizza is stuffed crust with the cheese on the outside? How the hell did it take them ten years to figure that out?

It's called - Hey we can put less actual toppings on the pizza and get away with calling it a gimmick and charge the same price!

[The Gold Standard]

Bats returns next week.

MAYBE HE WILL QUIT

[screech]

To me that is a regular pizza. The cheese is always on the outside. Why mess with stuffed crust? It is the best. Unless it is stuffed and on top.

I don't think it's stuffed crust with cheese added outside. That would be delicious, though.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I dare Batista to fuck off.

[screech]

He is going to insert the code.

[Favre4Ever]

BAH GAWD THE ANIMAL!!1111

[ClockShot]

Batista hosts again?

No wait, A CAREER ALTERING ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

[screech]

:shifty:

[The Gold Standard]

BOB IS BACK

[Triple Naitch]

Batista's coming back. YAY...

[Indifferent Clox]

i can't say it enough

i hope batista is retiring

[The Gold Standard]

SO IS THE MIC

[ClockShot]

Let's get another contestant!

[The Gold Standard]

ANOTHER BIDDING

[The Gold Standard]

AJ sucks. I wonder if WWE knows he did a segment with TNA

[Indifferent Clox]

wwe needs more char dev

[Anybody Thrilla]

Did AJ actually wrestle in TNA?

[screech]

AJ is such a douche.

[ClockShot]

Wow, Pierzynski must know the right people in the wrestling business.

[Emperor Smeat]

Now it makes sense why the White Sox players had those name tags on when they 1st showed them while no one else had them.

[The Gold Standard]

Everyone must be a Cubs fan

[screech]

AJ sucks. I wonder if WWE knows he did a segment with TNA

They don't even know there is a TNA.

[parkmania]

I really expected Show to be the next contestant - for a match vs. Markswoggle.

[The Gold Standard]

maybe not

[Favre4Ever]

was that the ring or the finger?

[Jannettyzilla]

This Raw even has Cubs booing! All we need is Jannetty and I can die happy.

[ClockShot]

He's a loyal friend in true.

[The Gold Standard]

I hope Santino wins this

[screech]

I want that! What the fuck? They can all afford that anyway!

[RatedGSuperstar]

I hate the Cubs, but I wish I was Michael Barrett.

http://hitlesswanderings.mlblogs.com/photos/uncategorized/barrett.jpg

[ClockShot]

Kickass a trip to 'Mania 26.

I'll bid $2000.

[The Gold Standard]

LETS GO SANTINO

[screech]

Still staring at her tits

[parkmania]

Might just be the only way Santino gets to go to WM 26.

[The Gold Standard]

http://i.a.cnn.net/si/multimedia/photo_gallery/0610/gallery.memorable.brawls3/images/017050019.jpg

[screech]

Santino is amazing

[The Gold Standard]

HE DID IT!!

[screech]

SANTINO IS GOING TO WRESTLEMANIA!!!

[Jannettyzilla]

Santino!

[The Gold Standard]

SANTINO IS GOING TO WRESTLEMANIA

[ClockShot]

Damn.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I can't believe Santino couldn't go to Wrestlemania for free.

[Favre4Ever]

haha i like how he says "Santinyo"

[redwings3431]

san teen yo lol

[Emperor Smeat]

dam, unless this is an extremely rare gold dvd case with diamond pieces used for the dvd discs themselves, they could of at least tried to be realistic when the price guessing.

EDIT: Nevermind thought they were talking about a Wrestlemania dvd.

[Jannettyzilla]

DAMN. Bellas, FTW.

[The Gold Standard]

I would like to sit in that Hot Tub with the Bellas

[screech]

Does it come with the Bellas?

[ClockShot]

:drool:

[screech]

LAME

[parkmania]

Santino, you're running the wrong way - the hot bods... i mean hot tubs are backstage.

[screech]

SANTINO SOUP

[Jannettyzilla]

Does it come with the Bellas?
Stop posting while in the ring, Santinyo!

[The Gold Standard]

Everytime I hear Raw is a family show, I just sigh

[RatedGSuperstar]

Reason #1,237 why Dolph Ziggler's awesome:

He's hitting (one of) that.

[The Gold Standard]

Is anyone going to win the extra prize tonight?

[Indifferent Clox]

whattttttttt

[screech]

I think he can do it

[Jannettyzilla]

Gee, that wasn't obvious.

Santino still rules.

[Johnny Vegas]

LOL

[screech]

I was banking on Mizark

[parkmania]

DX will win a extra prize.

[mike adamle]

That ref was a fag.

[screech]

lol the sound!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Fuck yes to the losing theme.

[ClockShot]

WAS THAT THE LOSER HORN?!

[Emperor Smeat]

LOL the loser horn.

[Innovator]

the HORN!

[Jannettyzilla]

Is it just me, or did Big Show morph into King Kong Bundy in the past week?

[ClockShot]

Nah. Doesn't sound the same.

[The Gold Standard]

I think Barker is losing it

[parkmania]

Yes, Bob, it's over... get on with the show.

[NeanderCarl]

Barker's losing it....

[The Gold Standard]

[screech]

Another stop sign

[Jannettyzilla]

Wig splittin' time!

[Emperor Smeat]

LOL , Barker has to be ad-libbing his lines. Him laughing then saying "looks like he was going to hit him from behind".

[screech]

I think Barker is losing it

[The Gold Standard]

Was his theme even playing? I couldn't hear it.

[The Gold Standard]

Speaking of themes. Legacy has a great theme.

[Innovator]

WOOOOOOOOOO MIZARK! A PISSED OFF MIZARK!

[screech]

Speaking of themes. Legacy has a great theme.

I fuckin love it.

[The Gold Standard]

WOOOOOOOOOO MIZARK! A PISSED OFF MIZARK!

I wanted a cocky mizark

[screech]

White Collar looks pretty good. I love USA programming lately.

[Emperor Smeat]

How can a submission match or submission anywhere match be innovative when WWF/WWE used to have wrestlers who had submissions as finishers or no hold barred/no DQ matches that could end with a submission.

[parkmania]

Evander! That commercial was good for a chuckle.

[The Gold Standard]

White Collar looks pretty good. I love USA programming lately.

It always seems solid, but I always seem to miss the shows they start and I don't like trying to catch up

[screech]

How can a submission match or submission anywhere match be innovative when WWF/WWE used to have wrestlers who had submissions as finishers or no hold barred/no DQ matches that could end with a submission.

The real question is, where has jericholicninja been?

[Jannettyzilla]

Someone broke character. :)

[NeanderCarl]

Batista hosts again?

No wait, A CAREER ALTERING ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

What? Why was this not shown on the UK feed?

Ah it's nothing anyway; he's either off to SmackDown or turning heel... or teasing retirement which won't happen (yet) anyway.

[parkmania]

PS3 minus backward-compatability at $299 = still not a good deal.

[Indifferent Clox]

barker botch

[screech]

This reminds me of WWF No Mercy when you tried to slam super heavyweights.

[NeanderCarl]

Screw the bodyslam challenge... Henry vs Big Show is a 'Who has the worst camel toe?' match.

[parkmania]

Cena body slammed Show, but Mizark can't???

Really???

[NeanderCarl]

Such an irrelevant 1980s stipulation.

[parkmania]

Where's Heenan with the $10,000 duffle bag?

[redwings3431]

this is worse than a divas match

[mike adamle]

$15,000

[The Gold Standard]

MARK

[Anybody Thrilla]

Mark Henry and two Bellas might not fit in that tub.
