[Juan]

Chad Patton took that punch like a champ

[Londoner]

chokeslam the ref already

[Calamondin]

Jesus Christ. They need to stop overprotecting everyone with these lame DQ finishes. The punch was pretty awesome though.

[Londoner]

lol@ the weak throw of the steps

[Johnny Vegas]

lol Big Show turns over the steel steps

[Juan]

Jesus Christ. They need to stop overprotecting everyone with these lame DQ finishes.

Did you watch WWF during the Attitude era? Every other match ended in a DQ or no-contest.

[jerichoholicninja]

I hope the Big Show continues with an "It was an accident" gimmick for a while.

[Providence Peep]

I hope the Big Show continues with an "It was an accident" gimmick for a while.

I'm not sure if I get it, but OK.

[Londoner]

So no womens match then? even if there is i'm going to sleep after this bit.

[RawRocks]

I assume the butterfly strap match will be next week.

[Londoner]

That's a weak looking chamber match.

[Calamondin]

Did you watch WWF during the Attitude era? Every other match ended in a DQ or no-contest.

Yeah, but I guess compared to WCW it didn't seem that bad.

[RawRocks]

oh joy another NASCRAP guest host

[jerichoholicninja]

Shatner has been the most useless guest host but the most entertaining.

[Londoner]

Its the...Raw match NEGOTIATOR. That's still cracking me up.

[The Franchise]

lol "the SHATner is gonna hit the fan"

[Corndad]

oh joy another NASCRAP guest host

He's got alot more personality then the other two they had and he might actually know whats goin on since he's a friend of Cenas so atleast going into it with a positive view.

[Johnny Vegas]

LMAO Shatner is gold

[Londoner]

FUCK YEAH

[The Franchise]

Nashville sucks

[Johnny Vegas]

At least his "theme" sounds more like his

[CSL]

Bret with his hair like it's 1996 all over again

[Nark Order]

Looks like Bret may be hitting the gym.

[Londoner]

this crowd is fucking shite

[Nark Order]

Bret said ASS!! This is a PG show!

[The Franchise]

rofl Vince is ridiculous

[Corndad]

Lol at the Vince Walk

[Calamondin]

Ahaha... that Vince dance was pretty epic.

[rob11]

They love picking the worst crowds to do this stuff in front of.

[CSL]

I've been in a pretty bad mood for the last hour or so. I think it stopped as soon as Vince strutted out like that.

[Londoner]

Back in the attitude era, this crowd would be marking out like crazy.

[RawRocks]

Vince McMahon may have gotten my money yesterday but he has one of the biggest idiotic egos on the planet.

[Londoner]

Vince McMahon may have gotten my money yesterday but he has one of the biggest idiotic egos on the planet.

You only just worked this out?

[Londoner]

Say something new Bret.

[CSL]

Vince McMahon may have gotten my money yesterday but he has one of the biggest idiotic egos on the planet.

I'm sure he'll be worrying about what people think of him on his way home from working with his worldwide company on his private jet whilst counting his cash money.

[The Franchise]

Amazing promo so far

[The Franchise]

Back in the attitude era, this crowd would be marking out like crazy.

In Canada, NorthEast US, Chicago, LA etc they'd be going crazy

[redoneja]

LOL @ the guy in the red in the front row.

[CSL]

Say something new Bret.

What? What else is he supposed to talk about? That's what this whole angle is based on. Bret's been great so far.

[Juan]

I feel like the Hart Dynasty might show up to turn on Bret at some point

[CSL]

Amazing promo so far

This guy gets it

[Londoner]

What? What else is he supposed to talk about? That's what this whole angle is based on. Bret's been great so far.

I know, its kinda been forced too say the same old stuff as they've got to stretch it out till WM.

[Corndad]

Wow.

[The Franchise]

lol Vince is owning Bret

[Savio]

He's right bret has no charisma and is dressed like a homo.

[RawRocks]

Vince is even trying to get the crowd going and its failing.. lordy the crowd sucks

[Emperor Smeat]

Bret "The Hobo" Hart

[Londoner]

hahahahaha

[CSL]

OH SHIT

[Corndad]

Batista???????

Bet they work Bret into Bats/Cena

[Londoner]

batista :eek:

[CSL]

As much as I wanna see the Sharpshooter, I'm glad they're making people wait

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Well, pencil it in. Batista (w/ Vince) vs. Cena (w/ Bret). Bret was never gonna have a street fight with the way Vince fights.

Def ending the feud with the Sharpshooter tho</font>

[Emperor Smeat]

Batista's deal probably includes a title shot since he lost his controller. :shifty:

[Londoner]

BUSINESS HAS JUST PICKED UP

[Londoner]

As much as I wanna see the Sharpshooter, I'm glad they're making people wait

Wait till WM, innit.

[The Franchise]

Batista w/ Vinny Mac vs Cena w/ Bret?

FUCK if Bret wrestles it is going to be brutal. He can barely walk

[Calamondin]

Great ending. Was surprised to see Bret get the shit beat out of him, by Batista no less.

[Londoner]

Crowd did their fucking best to ruin the moment though, just had to forget how dead they were for a moment.

[LuigiD]

I second the great ending thoughts.
I fucking swear I haven't felt so much heat in wrestling for years. I wanna beat the shit out of McMahon :mad:

[jerichoholicninja]

This leading to Batista vs Cena has caused me to loose interest in the outcome and most of the build up.

As long as it focuses on Bret and Vince it will be great though.

[Shaggy]

Crap...so this is gonna lead to my favorite wrestler of all time (Bret) teaming with my least favorite wrestler of all time (Cena).

Why does crap like this always seem to happen....

[LuigiD]

I hope the Cena/Batista thing is an on the side deal.

[The Franchise]

Why doesn't Vince cancel one of the shows leading to WM and move it to Montreal? It'd be crazy but fuck these crowds are honestly ruining this feud

[Emperor Smeat]

Crowd did their fucking best to ruin the moment though, just had to forget how dead they were for a moment.

Yeah crowd really wanted Cena to come out more than the plot twist of Batista now being involved in the Bret-Vince feud. They even chanted (pipped in or real) his name when a regular crowd would have been booing to end the show.

[The Franchise]

It was all little kids chanting Cena to. You could tell more than usual

[Robodiv]

Cena is probably out just now seeing as its off the air.

LOL at the guy in the red with his INTENSE PAYING ATTENTION FACE!

[DaVe]

wow, that was such a sick ending, imo. Thought the crowd was weak earlier in the segment, but turned out fine in the end. I was marking out, wanting Vince in that sharpshooter.

A very good RAW overall, imo.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

yeah if this was at Madison Square Garden or in Canada, or in Philly or whatever it'd have come across live a lot better. but at least we got to see Bret cut a solid promo and Vince gut a great promo. And then Bret unloaded on Vince lol.

[Inadequacy]

So will Kofi make it into the chamber this year?

[Xero]

Who knows how long it'll be up, but...

[The Franchise]

rofl @ the laugh in Triple H's

[screech]

Totally playing that on the show tomorrow

[Johnny Vegas]

lol @ Shatner's Cena ending

[Arashi Kage]

First entire RAW I"ve watched since 2004. Watched it to see Shatner and Bret... it was great to see them but....

I haven't seen much of the guest hosting thing they've been doing, but was under the impression that the guest hosts were more involved in the show. Shatner wasn't really around much.

Honestly, I watched TNA last week and enjoyed it much more. Raw comes off as being dull, I find that TNA has me very interested, everytime there is a Bischoff/Hogan's office segment, I'm always excited to see what might happen.

What the hell happened to theme music. It's like every single guy has the same generic sounding "radio rock" song. I miss when wrestlers actually had a unique theme music, didn't need to have lyrics in it. Gotta love that HBK still has his awesome theme, I love it.

As for the ending, the Cena chanting ruined it for me. Call me a fan from a different era of "wrasslin", but I can't comprehend the appeal of Cena.

They seriously need to have Raw in Montreal (or at least Calgary or Toronto) before Bret leaves, I wanna hear a real pop for Bret, the kind of reception he deserves to hear after all these years.

[The Franchise]

Booyaka booyaka Rey Mysterioooooooowowowow

[The Franchise]

No kidding. To make things worse, for the last few months WWE crowds have been worse than normal.

[rob11]

WWE comes to Philly this Friday for a house show. Where is Raw next week, another dead crowd city?

[The Franchise]

The only city with a half ass chance of a good crowd in the next few RAW's is Indianapolis. I think California has the one right before Mania so that might be good.

[screech]

Philly crowds aren't what they used to be :(

[rob11]

Philly crowds aren't what they used to be :(
I bet they would have given Bret and Vince better than "Cena! Cena!"

[Mr. C]

Edge had his moment, but Sheamus hardly features on RAW, which is odd considering he’s WWE Champion.

I understand Vince McMahon may hire some help, but why would Batista come to RAW wearing his trunks? Would’ve made more sense in a t-shirt and jeans. Interested to see where this goes. Are we getting a match between Batista/Vince and Hart/Cena, or just adding Batista and Cena into the feud to make the match at WrestleMania that much more intriguing? I was expecting Shawn Michaels to run out and kick Batista, but Cena is more logical at this stage of the game and was the one who came out last week and told Vince to confront Hart. Batista/Vince vs. Hart/Michaels at WrestleMania does sound good though, with Hart and Michaels backing each other, so next week I’m thinking that Triple-H is pinned by The Big Show. One can only hope that happens instead of Michaels/Undertaker.

I give it a 9/10.

[Skippord]

Batista is always wearing his trunks

forever

[Droford]

The dumb thing about Cena/Batista in this case is you know Cena isn't winning the EC and you know Batista isn't going to be in/win the SD EC either.

[The Franchise]

Shatner looks fucking insane good for being 78 years old.

[Lock Jaw]

No way Shatner is that old.

[Lock Jaw]

Or, apparently he is. Wow.

[Shaggy]

Who knows how long it'll be up, but...

My 4 month old boy was looking at the tv during that video and couldnt stop smiling and laughing at Shatners facial expressions...

First time my son has ever laughed at something on tv.

[NoRoolz]

Dead crowds make it painful to watch.

It genuinely upsets me :(

[Savio]

Why doesn't Vince cancel one of the shows leading to WM and move it to Montreal? It'd be crazy but fuck these crowds are honestly ruining this feud
Is any of the shows in Toronto?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

WWE only has themselves to blame for the dead crowds.

[AngryMidjit]

that whole shatner tripping onto the king was funny. you could see lawler almost burst out laughing as he looked over at cole

[Londoner]

Shatner looks fucking insane good for being 78 years old.

wtf, didnt realize he was 78!

[The Franchise]

Is any of the shows in Toronto?

Nope. :(

Toronto would be amazing though

[The Franchise]

wtf, didnt realize he was 78!

Hard to believe eh?

[DrCrawford]

that whole shatner tripping onto the king was funny. you could see lawler almost burst out laughing as he looked over at cole
