Official RAW Thread 4/16/12
 

I won't be here to post. All I ask is that you keep it spoiler-free since tonight's show was pre-taped in London this PM.

Enjoy the show. Peace! :wave:

I predict a slow night for the thread, but I'll be here. :)

DAMN iNATOR creates the Raw spoiler thread AND the Raw non spoiler thread and then proceeds to not post.

Yeah makes complete sense! I love the UK crowd though with their overwhelming love for Daniel Bryan.

LETS GET PUMPED UP!!

Whats up with the lack of comedy in the raw threads lately?

No idea, I hang out in the chat usually.

They're getting lazy. I assume you mean the title?

I didn't read the spoilers cause I like the english crowds.

awesome start

Neither did I... and the WWE Champ match to kick things off.

Guinness bath this week?

sexual chocolate chants lol

The "Yes" chants are in full effect.

lol love the crowd

I really used to hate the whole "yes!" thing until the crowds started doing it

Not sure if this is true but I've been wondering about this since the match started.

Oh shit! That was fucking awesome.

Hey guys, sorry I'm late.

Sick finish.

wtf is with the weird wrinkle between jericho's eyes? Never noticed that til now

lol @ flexing those beer muscles

fish and chips

:lol: Jericho still with the taunting.

So that's why Punk mentioned fish and chips on Twitter.

A match for the ages, I'm calling it.

wonder if he can eat beer battered fish

I'd prefer it to Santino Marella honestly.

WTF is R Truth on?

Whatever he's smoking I want some.

the us title shouldnt be defended in England

Yea

Is it just me or does anyone else get a Masters vibe from Otunga?

Love how Otunga's billing is "Graduate of Harvard Law"

I kinda like David Otunga as the "narcissistic heel" but with the twist that he's highly educated. It's kinda like Lex Luger with the brain of the Genius :p

I sorta want Carlton Banks to win.

COBRAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Piss! Haha!

I thought Cena crapped himself during a match not pissed himself.

Hmmm...

Lord Tensai = Shredder

:shifty:

Shredder = Super Shredder = Nash

OMG...Lord Tensai is Kevin Nash

Football though, not his best memory

I know this has nothing to do with RAW but they played this song in the Prototype 2 commerical.

If Brock wins in less than 5 minutes at Extreme Rules, everyone gets subs from Jimmy Johns

Beating people up, that's what makes me happy.

Sick video package on Brock.

was wondering when we were going to see kane/ryder

Pretty great video/interview package for Brock. Legit.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Not sure why @<a href="https://twitter.com/ZackRyder">ZackRyder</a> would fear Kane. If anything, Kane should fear him.

Yea

Kane's black humour ftw!

Wait a minute, did Kane hit Otron with the Lex Flexer?

Kane really needs a new mask and gotta love standing in the ring for 5 minutes for commercials lol

Kane beat the crap out of Ryder

:-\ so much for any hopes of an actual Ryder-Kane feud or Ryder getting revenge.

YES! YES! YES!

yes lock?

lol the YES! Lock

YES!

hahahahaha

that was great

It keeps going and going and going...

That was immense on so many levels

I missed it, what's the story behind the whole YES YES YES chant?

When he won the title he just started chanting YES! and it became his thing.

YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!

So Brock's sole purpose is to end and replace Cena? Doesn't that make Brock the good guy?

I love* Johnny's music

The Era of Excitement would have been better.

Johnny's so corny its awesome.

the crowd is getting on my nerves tonight. Ooooooooooo......awwwww...

WWE Creative ‏ @WWE_Creative Close
Jerry Lawler likes hearing the word "Yes" from a pretty lady, but "no" isn't necessarily a deal breaker. Neither is age. #RAWTonight

WHOA!

So, Matt Bloom and Kevin Nash are the same person!?!

:shifty:

Shut up Cole. The only thing I admire about AJ is her tits and ass, as it should be.

YES! YES! YES!

Touché. Ok, mainly her ass then. :naughty:

YES! YES! YES!

:lol:

It's a good thing there were too many limes, that could've gotten ugly.

I guess Alex Riley's silhouette is the only one getting work.

Funky Time

wasteotimeasaurus

This just isn't fair at all...

really?

Great Big Show?

Well, they got on Raw...

the big khali show

Mizcow!

So is this match gonna prove once and for all this gimmick and albert need to go?
