Sup?

Really pumped for RAW, really. Will determine if they're actually going to make it seem like the company is in another's hands or not. Plus the ew CEO angle has me VERY interested.

Damn, RAW has been so fucking good these last few weeks in terms of the stories.

Yeah, totally. I could understand some people being annoyed last week since Punk wasn't mentioned and it didn't pick up until the end story wise (bar some great matches). But not referencing Punk because of Vince's ego and not showing the MITB footage made damn good sense.

That said, last week was the mix on a great album from the first brilliant track into the second, we'll see how hot this song starts.

Punk has to be referenced tonight, keep him and the angle hot. Show the Comic Con footage, have Triple H say he was serious about him coming back. HHH's character has always been traditional and he knows that the real lineage of the title matters so he really wants Punk back.

Honestly can't wait to see how tonight plays out.

I'd love to see small changes, or even just one big change in the RAW layout/format.

DEATH TO THE RAW GM.

Should close the chat tonight. Give the server a real stress test.

New Raw set/logo perhaps?

Also, someone hook me up with a stream when this kicks off :).

I AM SO FUCKING GIDDY AND CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FIRST EPISODE OF RAW IS H!

Just read on wwe.com that the title match is going to kick things off.

LOL, yeah, that's gonna end clean.

Does give a good indication that something epic might happen tonight, though.

I'm definitely intrigued/pumped for tonight's Raw.

I'm hoping for an AWESOME result for the opening contest. :D

We will know if JS got a heart attack if the whole opening signature is Triple H.

They should replace the signature with the opening riff of Hunter's theme fading.

That would be pretty awesome, actually.

I really cant see them having Rey/Miz at Summerslam for the Title but at this point if they throw that out first it'll probably end in a DQ/Double countout and they'll have to have the match at Summerslam.

Honestly, I see some kind of deal where Vince comes back with Punk on his side as revenge and we get a champion vs. champion match with Rey facing Punk with Hunter and Vince in each man's corner.

that would be dumb

Honestly, yeah, I could totally see something like that.

There's no way Vince is done with this storyline. He could be out after it, but there's no way you're going to end the Mr. McMahon character on what's essentially a cliff hanger.

Maybe even continue playing up the "is it real?" aspect by having HHH call Beth Phoenix out to try and reason with him. He referenced her during the Comic-Con confrontation, so it would make sense to include her at some point.

James Steele is gonna try to time his crank session to finish right when HHH's music hits.

Really looking forward to seeing a new title belt tonight. Death to that damn spinner belt.

If everyone saying Taker and HHH will have a match at WM again, I could see Vince convincing Taker to wrestle HHH with the stipulation that if HHH loses he gets control back. This would require Vince to stay away til like the Rumble and then bring back Taker when he comes back. Would actually be brilliant...

FOR GOD'S SAKE A NEW HEAVYWEIGHT BELT PLEASE !

quite brilliant..... too brilliant for WWE Creative though :(

Yeah. Gonna be an interesting show in a number of ways.

I agree with Hasney. Have no chat tonight and push the new server to it's limit.

Xero is a person who likes cheese.

Just been woken up for some reason, but since I'm up and no work tomorrow....

If someone could furnish me with a stream, it would be delightful :heart:

Hello gentlemen

I haz been furnished via Google and damn it's a fine stream.

wow, this server is awesome right now

hells yea, Title match first

Oh good they kept that atrocious belt.

Yeah, normally I'd be like 'what,' but the show should be pretty loaded if this is first.

I hope Cena doesn't come out and tell HHH that what he did was wrong, and hand him his shirt

don't think anyone will win here. somethings going down

ah server works.. good evening infedels!

PM with link por favor? Mine's quite choppy.

Heh. The locker room all watching on that little tube TV in back.

You'd think after all these years they would go get themselves a nice flat screen TV for those times.

sup with miz's haircut

It has been sent via the magic of rep, Iggy.

I repped you one.

Nevermind.

Cole just said match has to end with pinfall or submission, ooooooooooooooook

Cheers lads. The stream I was using had no commentary too.

CeNation. The apes are out of control. Everyone stay in your homes and remain calm. I will come for you.

Cole testing us on our wreslting rule knowledge

Stream I have is from Sky Sports in the UK so I don't have to sit through 8 fast food commercials per break. :)

CM Punk will definitely interrupt either Obama's speech or this WWE title match. RT @GusRamsey: Paging CM Punk

Miz is doing everything in this match.

The ReyRey moves of doom!

Mysterio must be getting old/tired/achy, he looks like Cena's high-flying mini me lately. :/

Miz needs to adapt the Kevin Nash offense against Mysterio. MORE BIG BOOTS AND LAWN DART THROWS

Don't dis American commercials. It's not our fault the only thing we do well is sit on our fat asses, eat food that is terrible for us, and get fatter.

Nice powerbomb

Good for Rey

wow, didn't expect that at all

Rey Mysterio is new champ ... geez

That should be me! It was my cousin!

Pretty great match to start off the show with both Rey and Miz being great.

Did it sound like the cheers got pipped in a bit after the 619 and the splash?

This needs some ALBERTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Thank God!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

IS MY DESTINY! (small package)

holy shit oh yes

CHAS IT BABY

IT'S GOING DOWN!!!!!!

I knew it i knew it

CASH IT

dammit

Ahahahaha.

Del Rio is horrible with the cash in.

Yo, what the fuck!

Wow that's pretty lame. The world of wrestling totally needed another Mysterio title win.

why are they burying obama

Wonder what's going to go down. It's pretty anti-climactic if that's just that regarding the title and it wasn't the main event.

So the belt's look is not going to change or what?

Tonight there will be a State of the WWE Address from Triple H. Can Hunter deliver a promo without spitting water? Find out #RAWTonight

Holy crap Lawler called a move....on a replay....but wow.

Please.

:eek: rare Ryder moment on tv

Woo, we finally have a "minority" WWE champ. What do you consider a "minority" wrestler? When you actually think about it, Justin Gabriel is more African than R Truth...

Rock n Roll baby.

HHH strips him later and also Christian and becomes the new unified champ.

Bout time for a good ol war of the mcmahons

HES GOT AN NWO SHIRT ON?! WE'RE OUT OF TIME!





HERE COMES STING!
