Official Raw Thread for 3/3... Raw is Chicago, Bitch!
 

This could set up to be a pretty Epic Raw Tonight, so figured get this started earlier then 5 minutes before the show tonight.

So there is this now...

Also possible Punkage return? Taker/Lesnar stuff. Wyatts/Shield Tag. We aren't in mid October Raws anymore, Batman.

I LIVE FOR THIS

Should be a good one tonight

I think I'm going to a bar to watch it. A real shit hole of a bar too.

J&A's

Tonight will be the first Raw I have watched in over a year.

Sink or swim, WWE. Sink...or swim. Or sink.

I'm gonna watch it on a stream tomorrow. Because I fucking can.. Tuesday Morning RAW... Take that WWE.

pfft. It's always Tuesday afternoon Raw here.

Surely the thread name should be "Raw Is Chicago, Bitch!"

You mean its, MAKE IT OR BREAK IT FOR WWE!!!111onelolz111!!

FEAST OR FIRED!

We should take bets and see how long the stupid hijacking attempt lasts.

I'm giving a generous 15 minutes.

I'm almost thinking it'll come in waves. I'm not sure. I'm pumped for Jesse and the Road to Wrestlemania.

You tried to have Jesse killed though.

I think we can make that happen.

there will be cm punk chants all night. during every match. i just can't see it going any other way.

unless he makes an early appearance, of course.

My guess is if Punk is ACTUALLY there, first thing we will hear is Cult of Personality.

That feud is so over

He ended up ... I'm not spoiling this in case anyone still hasn't seen this amazing show.

yeah let's keep the breaking bad spoilers to a minimum. some of us are tv slackers.

I can deal with that. Convincing people that paid money to stand up and leave the arena is another thing. I don't see the whole place up and leaving.

My optimism lives on currently, we will have Daniel Bryan in the main event of Wrestlemania, unless he gets injured or some shit.

I like Daniel Bryan, he is entertaining in the ring live and on TV. I am currently wondering where they are positioning Cesaro, they have some money in that guy.

Willow is going to come out to Cult of Personality. Ultimate revenge.

True.

And I agree, no spoilers.

As a huge Breaking Bad Fan, a fan of WWE, a fan of the Chicago crowd, and a fan of the Office...

I call this "the perfect storm."

Who will be the man that knocks tonight?

I'm affraid I've got some bad news

I've been in a wrestling mood all day. It was fuckin crazy watching the first match of Wrestlemania 20 and how fans almost 10 years ago were hot for Cena and how fucked up it is these days.

It also made me realize that they overused foreign objects on the Big Show.

Working mornings now so I should ne able to catch all these raws leading up to mania. Hopefully it will be the same for ppvs.

I'm actually pretty excited. I wonder how many casual fans are really starting to watch at this point just to see how it unfolds.

There is the potential for this to rival August 9, 1999 as far as top Chicago Raw's go. This will be entertaining.

What happened then?

The Raw where the Millennium Clock hit zero. Idk, one of my favorite Raw's of all time.

Chyna defeated Triple H and The Undertaker in a No Disqualification Falls Count Anywhere match to become #1 contender for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam

The Rock cut his famous Big Show promo.

Apparently there's some unusual scaffolding above the ring tonight. Obviously Sting is going to debut.

Sweet :cool:

Alex. Riley.

Usos/Outlaws for Titles tonight too. Damn.

LOL at the Ryder/Titus Superstars match randomly happening behind this Pre-show

Titus O'Neil vs Ryder on Superstars lol

CM Punk chants on the pre show.

*barks like titus o neal*

Raw's gotta sink its hooks into me early if I'm to stay for the long haul. Punker coming back would be nice. Really wanna see Wyatts/Shield 2. Hope it's better than the PPV match.

I FEEL THE NEED, THE NEED, FOR SPEED!

Bryan just called Batista a jacked up 245 pound movie star wannabe.

*puts hand over chest* WE THE PEOPLE in all seriousness though, how ar the cm punks chants so far for those watching the pre show

I fully expect a "YEAH, BITCH" chant tonight

I'm still not sure how I feel about these pre/post shows. Guys in suits doing very serious NFL-like analysis on Raw and Smackdown is still kinda weird to me.

Is there a pre show stream anywhere? I can't get it in the UK without the app, and I don't have an android machine handy.

Gertner gonna be pissed. Ryback on Superstars again this week lol

Mentioning Punk on Pre-show. Yeah. He's gonna be there.

I missed it. What was said?

Mathews said You can hear the CM Punk Chants. We are in his hometown of Chicago. We haven't seen him since the Royal Rumble...

Preparing for RAW, just watched Batista's promo from Smackdown. Fantastic stuff, I am now a fan and behind him 100% and hope Punk isn't there tonight and he comes out to Punk's music and laughs and tells everybody to DEAL WITH IT

They acknowledged the chants saying that punk was from Chicago and that we haven't seen him since the rumble

Corndad beat me to it

Awww! *Superstars spoiler*

YEAH BITCH, YEAH SCIENCE

Oh, that's a pretty fucking obvious giveaway.

Either that or they're really fucking with us.

lol. That was not very PG, Fernando.

Mathews is a troll, who knows

Heyman being a perv HAHAHA "Nice Dress, Renee"

He's right, it is a killer dress

Holy shit Bryan vs Batista tonight!?!?!?

There's no way that can be a legit match.

This new show on USA looks fucking terrible.

HERE WE GO BITCHES

Christ, imagine if they kept Punk off of tv in 2011 for longer than 8 days

Fuck Bryan. I want Punk in the main event at WrestleMania.

Heyman sitting cross legged biggest shock of the night for me

You might be right. If Punks coming back that has to be part of it.
