READ MY <s>FAX</s>E-MAIL!

Can't wait to illegally download a torrent of this and watch it tomorrow...

why? just watch it on youtube tomorrow

So will the first show of 2011 top the first show of 2010? I dunno.

I like to put them on DVD's and watch them on my Giant TV.

I download it too, 720p baby. Fuck that YouTube shit.

Who burns to DVD anymore? Just hook up your computer to the TV.

That is a sweet TV right there.

NxS?

Dont forget to vote in TPWWs holiday battle royal :)

With the world title match to open, it doesn't bode well for what happens for the rest of the show.

On the other hand, it could mean they have something big planned for the end of the show.

It's going to end up a screwjob or something and they'll do double the storyline advancement today than they should. It should close the show and leave a cliffhanger for next week, but they won't do that.

Maybe he'll win the title but it will be reviewed/reversed, like Jericho or RVD's wins.

3 months to Wrestlemania!

A, so Punk joined Nexus? When did this happen?

Interested to see where this goes honestly. Can't say I'm excited about Nexus because I just can't buy them right now, but at least I know things will be a lot better by default because of Punk.

Start of my favorite time of the year. The lead up to Rumble through Mania

Oh.....Cena got injured?

These stories and more next on 60 minutes

No King?

I really like how Raw just began

OK, I like the way the show started. It should start that way every week.

is it really rare for it to defended on raw?

Did Cole just say they were opening with the title match?

I guess so.

Is Morrison becoming the new champion tonight?!?

Wow they are selling it till this week.

I hope this match has a very shaky finish. I want this feud to continue. I think Miz/Morrison can get a nice emotional feel if done right.

Josh Matthews! Nosebleed! :)

This ought to be good.

<font color=goldenrod>Interesting that Cole mentioned Barrett injured Cena. Hope Barrett comes back tonight.</font>

That was cool but Master of Hardcore?? Really?

What move was no higher than coming off the top rope.

what's the deal with the gay poses by jomo

I would like this to build up to a cage match at Rumble between Miz and Morrison.

Morrison is looking like a real player here.

What do you guys think of Josh Matthews on commentary?

Ya, that was surprising. But when Cole went "Who's the leader of Nexus", I agree Barrett may be back tonight. Not sure he will be a good face though, let's see.

Is Lawler really not at the arena tonight, or is he currently hiding and going to cost Miz the title?

He's like Striker with slightly less awesome and a lot less annoying.

matthews needs some work

<font color=goldenrod>I think Barrett will be back tonight as long as he isn't stuck at McDonald's.</font>

I do not think he is anything special. I remember when he first showed up on TV, everyone was proclaiming him as the next JR, I think he gets the job done, but he is nothing special.

I do not like having 2 play by play guys on the announce team.

Probably the latter.

I like the idea of this opening the show.

Love this so far :y:

You're either Grimese or you're against Grimese.

Whens the last time a fall count anywhere match ended in the ring?

"Damn, I really need to find the 'Boardwalk' game piece."

Woah, no one's ever kicked out of Starship Pain.

HOLY SHIT

This is a very good match.

Nice.

HOLY SHIT

Wow

i think morrison is slated as a main eventer now

To think a couple of months ago these two couldn't beat Daniel Bryan for the US Title. Not a complaint btw.

Godddamnit!

Why kick out of the table spot just to lose 20 seconds later?

Definitely going to download this match tomorrow.

BEST MATCH OF 2011 THUS FAR! :shifty:

Because matches don't end without the winner getting to deliver his finisher unless the match ends in countout or DQ.

Sweet Cage Match!

That was a great match, but I feel like Morrison should have another shot at Rumble.

Poor JoMo.. Hopefully creative saw the match and won't forget these two soon.

Because it makes him look tougher that he kicked out and it makes Miz look better when his finisher was the final move.

That was cool, really awesome showing by both guys

The rest of the show is gonna feel a lot less entertaining now

Holy mother of shit. That was a wonderful Championship match. People are going to bitch about this being on free TV but that makes people want to watch RAW. That was great.

That was a good match and one of the best ones to start a RAW in a while.

I hope Morrison comes out during the Cage Match and makes it like a no contest making it like a four way at the Rumble.

Nice!!!

Who's this guy?

It's Rush Limbaugh's little brother!

who the fuck is this guy and why is he so old

got a cool voice

Always been a fan of Josh Matthews.

Hey its the guy from the Pre PPV shows lol

Who the hell is this

Isn't that the guy from the PPV pregame show?

I love Alex Riley. He does the little things well.

:y:

Welp...now we get a 6 diva tag team match. We've seen this before.

Piss break

I love Melinas entrance. However they must have been short of
Paparazzi people this week. I wish I could do it.

Also after Brie has been mentioned
I now want cheese. Thanks wwe

Hey...where's the other Bella?

Probably getting put in the Labell Lock by Bryan if you know what I mean.

I love Twin Magic. Greatest wrestling move ever.
