Damndirty presents Raw Thread 8/6/12 - Thinking about laying off of the Pyrotechinics and Replays...
 

Past Raw and Smackdown were both pretty impressive. Punk's now looking at a Triple Threat, Ziggler's yet to cash in his case, Bryan is having a NO trip, and Kobe Bryant is clappin happy! Perhaps tonights the night WWE settles down and gets back to the nonsensical standards, I sure hope not! :yes:

Wonder if we are going to get jobber entrances again.

I was bored by the 3rd hour last week, personally. This 3 hour thing is pretty rough..I doubt it lasts.

Yeah same here, and I just downloaded it and fast forwarded through most stuff. Just a bit too much really, wouldn't be able to watch it live at all.

There was plenty of time for newcomers to job or low carders to get more storyline involvement on TV. Does WWE really see these people as poison?

And I know Diva matches aren't exactly the best in the world, but they're better than most replayed replays.

I always got excited for 3 hour RAWs. Sadly most of the time I got left let down. Now that it isn't special and it is becoming standard.....what's left? Meh. Feeling very underwhelmed coming in to this Monday.......

You only have a choice between that and TNA nowadays. Wrestling is just going to be wrestling. Personally, I thought last week went very well.

The in segment advertising makes me annoyed but yeah it didn't go bad...Just too much of a good thing....

Like a coke overdose:

Sonic girl was kinda hot if I remember correctly......

They're kinda ugly where I'm from

The three hour format wasnt as bad as I thought it could have been, but its alot to ask to have people make a 3 hour commit every week. People have said already in this thread that they taped it and FFd through alot of which might become the norm.

Sonic would be better if they let Heather Graham do promotions as Rollergirl. *Wink Wink*

WWE needs to fix the first hour being too slow or recap heavy and it wouldn't be an issue. Last week was ridiculous with how many times they recapped the fire event and barely doing anything in the first hour.

So it's HBK Appreciation Night but they aren't airing any of it?

I demand that this be CO Opted by Indifferent Clox in some title related way, in the fairness of competition, equal time and all that nonsense.


It helps when you don't state your premise as nonsense

Just to let all of you kats n kittens know...to bare another 3 hour RAW, Schlomey WILL be available for personal conversation in the RAW CHAT. Be there for witty banter and stock tips.

I never watch Raw live, so it's not a problem for me fast-forwarding most of it. Kinda annoying that amount of recaps we could possibly be getting from now onwards.

Getting through last week was pretty rough, even with wild turkey and weed, I'll see how this week goes, but I bet that before long I'll be wishing for two hour Raws to make a comeback.

I don't even see the raw chat sticky. I guess it died with Xero. I'll just chat here.

just sayin' if we see cena vs big show AGAIN tonight at any point I will just shut down the show.

Kinda sad Tna has more wrestling in 2 hours than Raws 3

Hey cool pyros again

Interesting hip hop theme. Can't say I like it.

I am not a fan of the new #RAW intro signature.

LIGHT IT UP! FUCK YEAH!

I love it

Anything better than Nickelback.

Gms shouldn't skip to the ring

Well, we're getting something close...

Calling Punk vs Kane

John Cena versus Daniel Bryan :eek:

I believe skipping would have made Adamle incredibly credible.

:( sad about some pending news.....

this

Punk regrets his heel turn so he can turn heel at the end f raw again

Oh God. Generic heel Punk trying to weasel out of a match. I'm not a fan.

John Cena paying homage to Hulk Almighty Hogan. #RAW

A desk is not a booth

Can anyone walk out without their music being played?

Vote miz

I can ***help*** prevent Rey Mysterio from performing??? I love you A.J.

HBK chants lol. Like there's a chance of that happening.

Either its going to be Mysterio and Punk just beats the shit out of him or Kane.

:lol: HBK chants and he isn't a choice.

Someone hit me with a stream!

So at first they don't hop onto social media, then they just cram it down our throats like this. Jesus Christ.

Here's another recap.

I saw an hbk sign..somethings up

#punkmiz is the correct answer.

<font color=goldenrod>That opening segment was so bland, predictable, and a far cry from the amazing promos Cena and Punk were putting out this time last year. A shame.</font>

HBK's contribution tonight will be getting run over by Brock Lesnar so HHH can make the save.

Miami Gators reference! I literally just watched BTTF2. Thought about Jeritron.

Also should make not of the fact that Brock's Kimura is horrible on so many levels, but I rotfl'd when he 'snapped the arm'.

"The most social media active GM of all time" YAY

Rey and punk..hmm

Which basically means all she does is let other people make tough decisions for her lol

<font color=goldenrod>No Raw interactive moment will top the fuck up last year where Mason Ryan was selected as Evan Bourne's opponent when everybody in the world assumed it'd be Sin Cara. Everybody having to try to play it off on the fly amidst angry boos was hilarious.</font>

Just like any woman.

Punks about 100 days short of a year as champion..wonder if they'll let him get it

I've never believed that WWE actually does what fans vote for. I just don't think they'd start the show without knowing everything that'll happen.

I could be wrong, but I don't know.

TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!

:lol: yeah that was amazing with even the wrestlers surprised.

Straight Edge vs a Drug Addict?. How did this happen.

I'm sure the voting is fixed.

https://twitter.com/#!/search/%23PunkMiz

Got way more tweets. WWE fails to listen to fans again.

I'm fairly sure they rig it in that presented wit 3 choices there's an verwhelmngly obvious choice and one that makes no sense..Rey was obvious cause he's a face vs punk as a heel, miz was bad choice..Kane is the wild card cause he's tweenering it up right now..I'm pretty sure they know their fanbase

Rey Mysterio is looking quite pudgy.

I wonder if we'll see AJ's abs tonight.

CENA VS BRYAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked the joke on Charlie sheens new show.."like a woman's corn" cause she threw canned corn at the guy

Did he tear a piercing on his lip or did a tooth get knocked out?

I doubt Joey is working for the we any more

Alberto Del Rio. So much potential, such a great look, got such a huge push. Yet he hasn't been able to quite make it.

I would really shit from my nipples if Taker shows up tonite.

I hope HBK and bryan at summerslam with charlie sheen as a ref happens.s

Fuck yes, Wade Barrett.

Wade.

Do a Barrett roll!

Push the fuck out of the bareknuckle brawler.

Miss Wade Barrett

Wade Bungle! I really enjoy him!

AJ is wearing a suit. We can't see her abs.

<font color=goldenrod>Wade</font> :love:

I have a feeling this "AJ as RAW GM" will not last long.

I wonder if AJ Sucked HHH's or Stephine's pus

Cant be as bad as impact where they start the main event, go a coupe minutes..go ccommercl..come back for 15 seconds and go back to anther full commercial break.

So Alberto drives to the arena wearing his trunks???

Back in 2006 when I was going to professional wrestling school, I'd drive to the school wearing my wrestling gear, which consisted of sneakers, knee pads, sweat pants and a Nine Inch Nails T-shirt. Then I'd drove home wearing the same thing.

They heard we dont want replays so they are giving us commercials

But you're not a Mexican aristocrat.
