Official RAW Thread for 02/01/10 - Bret Hart Soul Sale Week 2

[Xero]

Sup?

As always (chat only): http://www.justin.tv/juan_tpww_v11/old

[The Franchise]

Interested to see Bret, HBK/HHH Rumble aftermath and possibly an EDGE appearance.

[RKO'em]

I'm figuring Edge will go for Sheamus instead of Taker.

[CSL]

I shall be watching this weeks Monday Night RAW live presentation to see Edge and Bret 'The Hitman' Hart

[CSL]

Oh shit, Shatner's the host? Maybe not then, dunno

[KIRA]

I want to see Orton/legacy and HBK post -postal

[moonface]

Bret hart back in the wwf who would of thought.

[moonface]

They should bring back nails and Virgil hot Feud.

[Corndad]

Could be a intresting show. This is usually when things finally heat up. Curious how they will handle Edge and Mania Shot. I can't see him going against Sheamus just doesn't sound like a great Mania Main Event to me and they already did Edge/Taker a few years back so with the ongoing fued with Jericho how he will be involved as well.

[Juan]

Bill Shatner is the man. Hopefully this will turn out well.

[DAMN iNATOR]

If Christian were on RAW or SD! as a world champ on one of those brands, I'd love to see Edge v. Christian @ WM XXVI...too bad Christian's still stuck on ECW as champ there for a while longer...

[The Franchise]

I'm thinking HBK costs Taker the title at EC setting up their rematch and Jericho wins the World Title. Then Edge challenges Jericho with his Rumble shot and we have the Smackdown Title match. On RAW, Legacy will probably screw Orton setting up their match and Sheamus will face Triple H at WM for the RAW Title.

[parkmania]

Curious to find out if HHH's injury was legit or a good sell.

[EDWARD]

Yea he looked a little off last night

[The Gold Standard]

Hello Everyone

[The Franchise]

What's "crackalackin?"

[Corndad]

nice with the Jack Brisco open there.

[EDWARD]

EDGE!!

[Johnny Vegas]

EDge

[Corndad]

God I missed Edge.

[screech]

Love it already :heart:

[EDWARD]

I read a post somewhere where someone didn't think Edge was Wrestlemania main event material. I beg to differ, he is like the perfect candidate for a Mania main event.

[Corndad]

LOL at the TMZ shot lol

[EDWARD]

lol

[screech]

Imagine he faces Christian.

[screech]

...or not

[The Gold Standard]

I couldn't tell if that was suppose to be a face or heel promo

[Johnny Vegas]

I am tired of these fans that don't appreciate shit. Like Edge's return. Do people not realize this guy could've NEVER wrestled again and hasn't been stale since 2004!

[RawRocks]

Dear Edge,
please make a you are too white joke.

[The Gold Standard]

Ronald McDonald comment means face.

I got my answer.

[benji718]

Edge will come out and he might go for taker, witch can start a HBK Vs. Edge at elimination chamber, But who knows?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I really don't want to see Edge vs. Sheamus.</font>

[The Gold Standard]

Anyone else laugh when Sheamus hit Edge with the microphone

[screech]

I feel like the crowd should have been more pumped for that.

[CSL]

Sheamus still selling that spear like he's been hit by a plane

[benji718]

Sheamus hit Edge with the microphone? when that happened?

[Johnny Vegas]

I feel like the crowd should have been more pumped for that.

Should've returned at MSG or Philadelphia or SOMETHING

[DaVe]

omg what, brisco?

[RawRocks]

Sheamus just plain sucks. I don't know what the hell the WWE sees in the guy.

[screech]

Should've returned at MSG or Philadelphia or SOMETHING

RAW crowds in general have been pretty dead lately.

[Johnny Vegas]

Sheamus is not TERRIBLE tbh. Its someting fresh. I just wish they would give him a big, clean win.

[benji718]

Sheamus just plain sucks. I don't know what the hell the WWE sees in the guy.

I agree!!!

[viO]

Sheamus does suck.

[benji718]

Sheamus is not TERRIBLE tbh. Its someting fresh. I just wish they would give him a big, clean win.

I agree with the win part...

[benji718]

Sheamus does suck.

He does!!

[Londoner]

Joining late, caught the end of edge/sheamus's promo, yeh, can't see him going for raws title, this is just so the raw fans get to see him.

[The Gold Standard]

I don't think Sheamus is that bad. He has grown on me a lot.

[The Gold Standard]

Are both titles being defended at EC?

[Providence Peep]

Seamus could easily lose the belt before 'Mania, then Edge Vs. Seamus still won't happen.

[The Gold Standard]

I don't really hate Cody anymore

[Londoner]

Are both titles being defended at EC?

yes

[screech]

I love Cody's moonsault.

[Nark Order]

I don't think Sheamus is that bad. He has grown on me a lot.

Same. Especially after watching that last segment. Guy has talent.

[Nark Order]

CENA WINS??? Who could've guessed?

[screech]

I still don't really "get" the appeal of Sheamus, but I don't really hate him anymore either. He is definitely growing on me.

[Londoner]

oh good, make cody buried further, great move.

[Corndad]

Screwjob...

[Londoner]

I still don't really "get" the appeal of Sheamus, but I don't really hate him anymore either. He is definitely growing on me.

Its the skin colour/crazy hair that does it.

[Nark Order]

Hoping somehow that Edge will choose Christian. know it won't happen but a man can dream!

[jerichoholicninja]

jericho

[screech]

Hoping somehow that Edge will choose Christian. know it won't happen but a man can dream!

:y:

The ECW title wasn't even presented as an option, though :-\

[Londoner]

This is so bizarre.

[Nark Order]

:y:

The ECW title wasn't even presented as an option, though :-\

Yeah.. Hoping that's part of the swerve!

I WON'T GIVE UP!

[The Franchise]

:y:

The ECW title wasn't even presented as an option, though :-\

I don't think it is as of 2008 when the ECW Champ Chavo Guerrero was competing in the Royal Rumble match itself

[The Gold Standard]

I understand that he got the belt because he is HHH's workout partner, but I don't mind that he has it. It is fresh. I like it. New feuds and what not.

[Nark Order]

I don't think it is as of 2008 when the ECW Champ Chavo Guerrero was competing in the Royal Rumble match itself

Yeah, but when Taker won the Rumble he teased facing Lashley who was ECW champ at the time. DUNNO.

[The Franchise]

Yeah.. Hoping that's part of the swerve!

I WON'T GIVE UP!

EDge/Chrsitian would be amazing but Edge/Jericho would be COOL TOO

[Londoner]

I understand that he got the belt because he is HHH's workout partner, .

That's a funny image.

[The Franchise]

Yeah, but when Taker won the Rumble he teased facing Lashley who was ECW champ at the time. DUNNO.

That was 2007 though and yeah that year Taker teased facing all three but since 2008 it's been like the ECW Title is of less value than the US/IC Titles. :(

Even if we don't get Edge/Christian, I hope we at least get Edge/Y2J and maybe Edge/Christian later in the year. :D

[The Gold Standard]

I love Swagger.

[Nark Order]

THHHHHHWAGGGA

[Skippord]

who will Jack Swagger be jobbing to tonight?

[RawRocks]

back to back Elimination Chamber matches? what gives?

[The Gold Standard]

Damn. I thought Swagger was going to get in.

[CSL]

Jack Swagger pretty much bores the piss out of me

[Johnny Vegas]

lol so much for Swagger

[Skippord]

ouch

[Nark Order]

Nice knowing you, Swagger.

[The Franchise]

Jack Swagger pretty much bores the piss out of me

[RawRocks]

and Swagger keeps getting buried :(

[Nark Order]

Hoping for at least one swerve entrant.

[screech]

Damn. I thought Swagger was going to get in.

Too bad they hate him now.

[Londoner]

Jack Swagger pretty much bores the piss out of me

[Johnny Vegas]

I actually like Swagger. Definitely wish they would've kept the "All-American AMERICAN undefeated streak".

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I find it funny whenever they do these qualifying matches...because from a kayfabe perspective I picture those in charge saying "Alright, well Cena and HHH have to be in there to make money...book them against guys who haven't won much!"</font>

[The Gold Standard]

I think Swagger is better than Sheamus

[benji718]

This is a BS i'm at work missing RAW!! Well good thing i have a DVR.

[Nark Order]

Will be cool if Ted gets in because Cody didn't. Interesting story spike.

[parkmania]

back to back Elimination Chamber matches? what gives?

Cole has already said twice that all of tonight's matches were EC qualifying matches.

[The Gold Standard]

Who did Swagger piss off?

[RawRocks]

I think Swagger is better than Sheamus

i agree .. he is :y:

[The Franchise]

This is a BS i'm at work missing RAW!! Well good thing i have a DVR.

lol where do you work?

[Skippord]

I bet Swagger wins in an upset

[The Gold Standard]

Will be cool if Ted gets in because Cody didn't. Interesting story spike.

I could see Ted beating Orton to get in. Fueling the feud.

[parkmania]

I guess Trips isn't as injured from last night as he could have been.

[Londoner]

Cole has already said twice that all of tonight's matches were EC qualifying matches.

Only gonna watch for bret hart then, hate qualifying matches/ beat the clock type things, always predictable, especially on raw.

[The Franchise]

WE WANT BRET

[The Gold Standard]

Watching Raw buzzed is not a great idea. I am surprised I am typing this well.

[screech]

You should be enjoying it more.

[screech]

The Gold Standard: "I got a headache. UGH"

More live updates as they become available. Stay tuned.

[Londoner]

You should be enjoying it more.

lol

[parkmania]

Watching Raw buzzed is not a great idea. I am surprised I am typing this well.

On the positive side, I bet you're finally able to understand the storylines.

[The Gold Standard]

My head is pounding.

We had a Senior Night at school. We got free drinks. It was great.

[DrCrawford]

i hope all of these elimination chamber matches arent all squash matches from main eventers...like the cena/rhodea match was

[screech]

The Gold Standard, upon reading my previous update: "Fuck you, man...ah Jesus my head hurts."

Keep it here.

[NoRoolz]

I have a hatred for Jack Swagger that I've never had for any other wrestler.

When he does that fucking chest-beat thing and then his big meathead smile I just wanna smash the lack-of-necked cunt right in his lispy mouth. FUCKK

[screech]

I have a hatred for Jack Swagger that I've never had for any other wrestler.

Shit got real

[The Gold Standard]

Swagger has a nice showing here tonight. I like it.

[Nark Order]

How do you argue with a man with NoRoolz??

[Londoner]

BAH GAWD BAH GAWD BAH GAWD

[Nark Order]

kthx bye swagga

[Londoner]

'Perserveres' :lol:

[NoRoolz]

Shit got real

Fuckin right.

HATEEEE

[parkmania]

Trips beats Thwagger? I'd have never guessed...

[The Gold Standard]

So, when are the tag belts going to be defended?

[The Franchise]

BAH GAWD BAH GAWD BAH GAWD

I'm eating dinner -- steak with BBQ sauce :cool: and that combined with this post makes me really miss JR :(

[The Gold Standard]

They actually put the belts on Trips in that picture.

[screech]

DX needs to drop the tag belts.

[Londoner]

I'm eating dinner -- steak with BBQ sauce :cool: and that combined with this post makes me really miss JR :(

Aye, i miss him too.

[Nark Order]

So, when are the tag belts going to be defended?

When WWE remembers they have a tag division again. That could take months.

[Nark Order]

HBK vs Orton?

[parkmania]

Orton/HBK? Looks like BUSINESS IS ABOUT TO PICK UP!

[screech]

When WWE remembers they have a tag division again. That could take years.

[Londoner]

Hmmm, an interesting qualifying match!

[The Franchise]

When WWE remembers they have a tag division again. That could take months.

They forgot in 2002 and had brief moments of remembrance in 2005 but thats about it

[Skippord]

I wish CM Punk would have lasted longer in the Rumble

[blak23]

wonder if hhh and shawn will fued at mania

[NoRoolz]

How do you argue with a man with NoRoolz??

YOU DON'T! :mad:

especially when Swagger's recently been on my TV.

[The Franchise]

Orton/HBK? Looks like BUSINESS IS ABOUT TO PICK UP!

JR :(

[Providence Peep]

Anyone else besides me think Seamus will lose belt at EC?

[Londoner]

Btw, i think hhh/hbk are gonna retain the titles till the hbk/taker match is officially made...or until after that possibly so hbk can keep appearing on smackdown.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Orton will likely win and HBK will find a way into the SD chamber instead.

Early guess: Taker eliminates him, then HBK is a sore loser and SCMs him and gets Taker eliminated, thus making him lose his belt</font>

[The Gold Standard]

I wish CM Punk would have lasted longer in the Rumble

[The Gold Standard]

I wish Shelton Benjamin would have lasted longer in the Rumble

[Skippord]

awesome

[screech]

I wish Kane would have lasted longer in the Rumble

[Londoner]

lol wtf

[screech]

LOL this is great

[Skippord]

[Corndad]

[parkmania]

When can I download this album from Amazon?

[Skippord]

Triple H looks like a jilted lover

[Londoner]

should've done edge's theme

[screech]

The Gold Standard: "I don't wanna slow down bro! I'm sick of this. *jumps into bed*"

[Skippord]

[Londoner]

*awaits old school hbk theme*

[screech]

[Providence Peep]

[Skippord]

[Providence Peep]

What city is RAW in tonight?

[The Franchise]

Heartbroke Kid

[parkmania]

Michaels won't win.

Thank you, Captain Oblivious!

[Nark Order]

Kind of want to see Sheamus headline Mania now that he's so close.

[The Franchise]

What city is RAW in tonight?

[Providence Peep]

Thanks, Franchise.

[Londoner]

Can't fucking wait for the womens title match.


Cant. Fucking. Wait.

[parkmania]

HOTLANTA......

SOOOOO sick of that word.

[Londoner]

:shifty:

[RawRocks]

Man...you guys aren't kidding when you talk about dead crowds.....this is impressive.

the crowds have been dead for some time.. they are ruining the TV viewing experience too.

[Providence Peep]

Can't fucking wait for the womens title match.


Cant. Fucking. Wait.


Same here. It'll be a good time to take a shit.

[The Franchise]

Can't fucking wait for the womens title match.


Cant. Fucking. Wait.

Need to rub one out eh?

[Providence Peep]

Bring Back The Warlord!

[parkmania]

Bring Back The Warlord!

Nah, The Barbarian was the workhorse of that tag team.

[Skippord]

THE VIPER STEALS IT

[Londoner]

[Nark Order]

Cool pin.

[Innovator]

How did he steal it? He won

[The Franchise]

Devastated.

[parkmania]

lol at Shawn's hair band sticking off to the side.

[Londoner]

HBK screwed HBK

[Skippord]

I hope Randy Orton wins at Elimination Chamber

Edge vs Orton would be cool

[Nark Order]

SCREW!!!

[Providence Peep]

[Nark Order]

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I'd love for Shawn to enter Money in the bank, win it and then obliterate whoever Takers opponent is at Mania and pull double duty against Taker.

[Corndad]

Im seriously still laughing at the Shatner Skit earlier lol That was fantastic.

[RawRocks]

this Shawn Michaels storyline needs a resolution soon

[parkmania]

So glad Burn Notice is back.

Now TNA needs to hurry up and move to Mondays so I can watch Survivor and BN without missing.

[Skippord]

well this song is impressively gay

[KIRA]

They're in Nashville??? no way the south LOVES wrasslin!

they wouldnt be this dead.

[parkmania]

Who am I kidding, I'll STILL not watch TNA.

[screech]

Ted sad :(

[parkmania]

Teddy gonna cry?

[Londoner]

Way too get the crowd hyped up: make one of the legacy members have a long stare. ALWAYS WORKS.

[viO]

Mark Henry = Kool Aid Man

[RawRocks]

For a second there, it looked like Orton wanted to kiss Ted.

[KIRA]

Marks music just doesn't fit him anymore

[Corndad]

Dibase gets into Chamber somehow costs Orton to be eliminated leads to Orton-Ted at Mania.

[The Franchise]

DiBiase/Orton at Mania hopefully. Not sure what Rhodes will do... maybe MITB?

[parkmania]

So, what's the match for the final EC spot? Miz/MVP? Kofi/?? ?

[The Franchise]

So, what's the match for the final EC spot? Miz/MVP? Kofi/?? ?

I hope they build MVP vs Miz to Wrestlemania. Kofi vs Miz perhaps

[screech]

Ted is going to win

[The Gold Standard]

I would like to see Ted pin Orton in the Elimination Chamber match.

[KIRA]

Sooo Ortons gonna stay a heel and Teds making a face turn.

Whats a Rhodes to do

[The Gold Standard]

Please be Kofi

[screech]

Brisco :'(

[parkmania]

Kofi/Show... interesting.

[Nark Order]

Jack :(

[The Franchise]

Might as well put him in the HOF. He deserves it. Unless he;s in there already

[parkmania]

Might as well put him in the HOF. He deserves it. Unless he;s in there already

He is...

[Corndad]

nice tribute.

[Steveviscious89]

What's interesting about the crowd is that you'll notice King and Cole don't ever have to raise their voices during the matches, which makes it really weird. Sounds stupid, but maybe they should consider the old crowd dub-in technique used by...well...every other wrestling company that's existed on TV.

[parkmania]

Crowd's been so dead, wonder if they were actually the most animated about Jack or if those cheers were piped in.

[The Franchise]

or have a better product so the crowd is more into it

[Providence Peep]

The problem with that is we'd be HEARING crowd noise and SEEING a dead crowd at the same time.

[Providence Peep]

I bet they were legit. Brisco brothers were big in the south.

[KIRA]

she sounds high

[Corndad]

Punk!

[parkmania]

Waitaminute... Gail Kim's from Toronto. Shouldn't she know a LITTLE bit of French?

[Londoner]

:lol:

[screech]

:lol:

[Nark Order]

LOL

[KIRA]

RAW match negotiator....CLASSIC!

[The Franchise]

Waitaminute... Gail Kim's from Toronto. Shouldn't she know a LITTLE bit of French?

Nah that's Montreal/Quebec

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol:

[parkmania]

freeze frame, guys.

[The Franchise]

:rofl:

[KIRA]

I cant wait for Shawn to go ballistic.

Is everybody in the audience on downers? I can hear kofis music clear as a bell

[screech]

Wasn't there supposed to be a Divas title match? Was that segment utterly pointless?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>HBK to take the pin next week as The Straight Edge Society become tag champs</font> :love:

[Londoner]

Wasn't there supposed to be a Divas title match? Was that segment utterly pointless?

It'll last two seconds.

[parkmania]

So, will HBK get in the SD! EC this week before losing the tag belts to one of the other teams, or will DX hold down the tag team division a bit longer?

[Steveviscious89]

The problem with that is we'd be HEARING crowd noise and SEEING a dead crowd at the same time.

That's true, and an unfortunate drawback. It's kind of like when you listen to the radio (if you do that sort of thing) and you know there's compression or pitch correction going on. It doesn't really have to be there, but the artists couldn't make it work otherwise.

[Providence Peep]

Wasn't there supposed to be a Divas title match? Was that segment utterly pointless?

An utterly pointless segment? An utterly pointless segment?!? On RAW?!?!?!?!
No way!!!!!!!!!!! :shifty:

[Corndad]

It'll last two seconds.

It better they still have the Vince/Bret stuff too

[parkmania]

Well, I haven't been sleeping well lately, so I took some knockout drops a bit ago and they seem to be working.

G'night.

Gonna tape the rest.

[Londoner]

Loving Miz on commentary.

[Nark Order]

I miss Stacy :(

[The Franchise]

I miss Stacy :(

Stacy was always the hottest diva imo
