Raw Thread 23/01/12 - Get Fangel back into Wrestling
 

I have not actively watched a Raw in something like 5 years now and tonight I am looking to change that.

I will be tuning in when Raw is on and watching it while I post in this thread, Ill be asking questions to get myself refamiliazed with everything.

Can you help Fangel?

Zack Ryder and John Cena are the new Billy and Chuck

Kane is hiding behind doorways and spying on people

CM Punk is the best in the world

Raw is a Supershow that has Smackdown guys on it

Super Dave is the current GM with Teddy Long GMing it up on Smackdown, but comes out and makes matches on Raw now and again

Brodus Clay is the greatest thing ever for probably another 2 months before he gets stale to everyone

Sometimes tyres need to be changed and there will be segments highlighting this

Jericho is a mute

Foley wants to wrestle again

Bullying needs to stop through the B.A. * campaign

The Rock will not show up more than likely

Kofi urges you to not try anything anywhere

Michael Cole's commentary will probably put you off watching ever again

King is just as bad mind you

Mark Henry has another monster push and is still as monstrously boring as ever

Big Show cries a lot, literally

AJ is a diva who is injured because the Big Show walked into her, which stopped a match

R-Truth is hilarious now

:|

You know, I had planned to get back into wrestling. That isn't helping...

it's all true

Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus, Wade Barrett and Cody Rhodes are all amazing right now though.

Sheamus and Wade Barrett I have heard a bit about. The other two, not so much.

I aim to please http://assemblergames.com/forums/ima...iles/dance.gif

You are very early for the 23rd February edition of RAW, but no time like the present.

It's also odd that it's going out on a Thursday. Must be a Candadian thing.

Well by Feb 23rd WWE will be doing their mega build towards WrestleMania...

-By that time the Undertaker should be back to build his streak to 20 and 0 at Mania.
-Randy Orton should be back in full swing.
-Rey Mysterio could possibly return from injury
-Triple H will be back so he has a spot at Mania.
-The Rock will be around from time to time to last minute promote his match against John Cena.
-Shawn Michaels is rumoured for a non-wrestling role at Mania.
-Christian should also be back from injury and will most likely have a good spot since he'll be inducting Edge into he Hall of Fame.
-Chris Jericho will hopefully be talking and wrestling by this time.
-Big Show versus Shaquille O'Neal should be building up
-Stone Cold usually comes back for his annual special guest refereee gig at Mania.
-Mick Foley is in the Rumble and could be at Mania.

So maybe you should just come back around Feb 23rd. Because if things are going to get interesting it will be then.

Oopes sorry Hasney... I somehow missed ur post with the long list of stuff

I am determined to sit and watch it.

Well, you have a month to decide.

No, I mean tonight's Raw. Not the one on the 23rd.

Daniel Bryan is the best pure wrestler in wwe.

He's the best pear (in Latin) wrestler?

Damn, he was good against humans, but I have to see this pear wrestling.

So, at some point tonight we will be getting the obligatory "It's not as good as the Attitude Era was" comment.

That's pretty much a given.

I'm up to July 1999 after starting after Wrestlemania 1997 and it is so glorious it hurts.

I have bad memories of the McMahon-Helmsley era though so we'll have to see how it holds up.

You watching all the old stuff in order Hasney?

Pretty much yeah.

Totally forgot Sunday Night Heat used to matter though so didn't download them. Will be grabbing Smackdown when it starts in September though (already had the pilot).

I don't understand, the topic title says February :?:

Being high helps bring back Kayfabe feelings. Trust me.

This is the go home show for the rumble. It'll be amazing.

You're not aware of Cody Rhodes? Man, you really have avoided wrestling for a while.

Not so much because he's a megastar but because he's a Rhodes. And he's been with the company for quite a while now.

This isn't the week to start getting back into things. I'd watch Royal Rumble on Sunday and then pick up from there.

As for tonight, I see Foley threatening legal action against Johnny in order to get into the Rumble.

I hope you die. In real life.

I know who he and his father are, I just don't know his current situation in the WWE and don't even know if he is a face or a heel.

I would, but im not free sunday night.

Just how exactly would I die in any other way?

On the internet.

In a video game.

On the inside.

I can't even articulate a fucking response to the above post.

Were you really into it 5 years ago when you were watching? Or before that?

I was mostly into it from 1998-99 until about 2004 or 2005. The last thing I really remember from wrestling was Wrestlemania XX.

Hmm. I've wondered what it would be like to just now start watching wrestling with no real history to go off of. Or to watch it after not watching for a few years and pick it up with no idea about any storylines or characters.

If you were into it then, I think the novelty of everything being new to you should be enough to make you enjoy it. Plus things seem to be on an uprise. There's some good stuff going on.

He's a very awesome heel. So is The Miz.

We will see in an hour and a half how I think the current product is.

I think you will enjoy Heel Daniel Bryan. Be glad you haven't seen Face Bryan. He has had the amazing in ring ability but they actually now have direction for him. Heel Over-the-top Dick Daniel Bryan is entertaining as hell.

I don't know who you will or won't enjoy since I don't know what exactly you look for or what you liked before.

CM Punk is a good bet though. He's the current WWE champ and is kinda "the" guy right now. He also looks like a fry cook.

From WWE's Facebook:

TONIGHT ON WWE Monday Night Raw: It's the return of Chris Jericho - WWE Universe's HIGHLIGHT REEL!! Raw is LIVE at the top of the hour, only on USA Network!
---
LOL, that should be good.

lol. Why did it seem like Punk started off this promo like he was getting Fallen Angel caught up on his current storyline?

lol @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Laurinaitis

blah

John Joseph Laurinaitis, Failure, (born July 31, 1965)[1] is a failure and the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations for WWE and appears on WWE's Raw brand as the interim General Manager. He is a winner. CM Punk believes he sucks at life.

:rofl:

lol punk's face

Stealing the thunder, eh Cena?

Punk been watching Steiner videos

haha

TELL EM SWAGS!

Tag match. Lauranaitis has been hanging out with Teddy Long too much.

Did Punk just get off of his Burger King shift?

Didn't even have time to take his shorts off

Why does this thread seem kinda dead?

Hey guys. Sorry I'm late, had to run across town.

Somebody wanna sum up the first 20 minutes, please?

And now the thread is ALIVE!

What the fuck, the show I am watching seems to be 15 mins behind all of you guys.

Punk wants Ace to say things to his face
Cena wants Kane and a rematch for Ryder
Ace makes this tag match instead

This match was made...

Are you watching an awful stream? lol

Does Laurenitis always sound like he is losing his voice?

If you're watching on the score it's because they air it on a fifteen minute tape delay.

I guess they're contract only allows a certain mount of live broadcasting, and this is beter than being an hour behind.

yes, he does

Yes. Cena and Punk both do spot on impersonations as well.

No, I am watching it on the score.

Animal overnighted the shoulder pads.

YOU WATCH!

God that world title looks like something pulled out of a cereal box.

Johnny Ace gonna lace up the ol' boots.

He's gonna assign Ziggler as the guest referee and Punk probably won't land a punch on Laurinaitis.

What happened between Swagger and Ryder last week?

Called it

Swagger won the US Title off him last week.

Ah, the first Highlight Reel of Jericho's return. I'm still interested in what there doing with him.

Ryder had been injured by Kane but Ace made a US champ match between them anyway and swagger dominated but it turned out Ryder wasn't cleared to compete.

Ryder was the US Champ, got attacked by Kane 2 weeks ago, had a match with Swagger for the title last week, Laurinaitis claimed he got the doctor's note saying Ryder was not fit to wrestle too late and Swagger pretty much squashed him.

I'm a bit hesitant to say he has to talk, never know

JERICHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ha, fans still cheering him.

That freakin Jacket is ratings.

Man, I thought they'd go with a little filler for the second segment. They're going all out early.

Jericho is going to talk. Either in sign language or in subtitles on the bottom of your screen.

Closed captioned for the hearing impaired, too.

He's Chris Fucking Jericho. I don't give a fuck what his current character consists of, I'd cheer him too.

This is correct.....and airs a replay every Tuesday afternoon....

Shoot the TV, CMON BABAY

lol @ Cole waving his arms

LOL This is awesome.

WOOO They showed the title switch that never happened

Now this is the Jericho I remember.

And now they start to boo.

WORDS!

HE HAS A VOICE!

holy shit he actually spoke

:lol: Lawler's reaction

WOOO HE TALKS

Watching that video package, Jericho is no Millennium man. There is only one real Millennium Man...

HE SPEAKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, he must be friends with the mayans or something.

Love that Cheetos Commercial

God that was worth it.

Cole has just gone a notch up in my book
