Official RAW is CANCELED thread (1-26-2014)
 

http://www.businessinsider.com/wwe-r...owstorm-2015-1

They should do an empty arena show. To be honest, they'll get a better crowd reaction.

Halftime Heat baby

Probably the best thing for them really. It gives them an extra week to try and unravel this clusterfuck they created.

Everybody unsubscribed from the network and WWE ran out of money so they had to cancel #Conspiracy

i guess for smackdown they could invade nxt, may be best to hold off raw a week for the writers to sell the crap that went down at rr

Why is it not on WWE.com? o.O

I wonder if they could jet to Full Sail University for Raw and Smackdown

Damn I was really looking forward to tonight. Everyone bitching about the rumble but I thought it turned out pretty well. Only thing that pissed me off was no RKO's.

Why is the title of this thread not "#CancelRaw"

What the fuck are you doing Paul "The Wall" Carrington?

First you make a scathing Discussion Forum post clamouring for no deaths at the World Cup, now you call out Big "Savior" Vic in the Wrestling Forum? Supreme Olajuwon, you are OUT. OF. CONTROL.

Hey mister "I am bitter to losing to Savior in KOTF", Raw IS canceled. Get off the "late train"

So does this mean Raw will not be televised or can I still watch it on my TV?

You can watch it on your Television, not TV.

Roman Reigns vs Snow.. Al Snow

Roman is probably ecstatic its cancelled. He can wait another week to get on the mic

time for a clip show

<font color=goldenrod>God also hated the Rumble finish and decided now was the right time to get back at Vince. He put Vince over at Backlash 2006 and Vince never returned the favor.</font>

Mother Nature knew what would be best for business.

Yes "Bottle Episode/Clip Show", HHH, Steph and Vince accidentally get locked in their office and can't get out. They recall there favorite moments from years past.

Smackdown is Raw: live on thursday from Hartford

Per Busted Open via just released WWE press release

God. This is so good. It just keeps getting more and more amazing.

The only way it can go up from here is if they decide to re-air the Rumble with cheers dubbed in.

wwe.com posted that they're still gonna be live.....from their studios

Is it really a live show if there's no live in ring action?

I mean, what exactly are they going to do for 3 hours live in the studio?

This could actually be a bigger cluster fuck than last nights Rumble and that's saying something.

Maybe they will show "WWE 24" (which looks more interesting than anything from RR) early.

Hell, feature the HHH and SCSA podcast instead. Let SCSA ask the "tough questions" like he did with VKM.

3 hours of Hardcore matches from the boiler room.

I suppose a couple of studio/office type brawls could be kinda cool/different. Don't know if it would be enough to save all 3 hours but it might be a cool segment or two, depending on who's involved and how they do it.

Three hour ep of WWE The Office

Team Cena vs Team Authority in a 5 on 5 snowball fight out in the parking lot

Wonder if they still have to pay Brock for tonight.

Youd think WWE would have a ring in their studio

Rings in studios?

What is this, loltna?

All the good replies got stolen already. :(

Amazing. 9/11 didn't stop the shows from going on when SD! that Thursday became one of the first large gatherings of Americans (USA #1!), nor could an Icelandic volcano eruption, but a blizzard means "there's ALWAYS a Plan 'B'...until there's no Plan 'B'"?!

SMH

I hate that THIS raw got canceled. was not excited for any raw since the Summer and the first one I am excited for (just to see what happens to reigns) gets canceled.

Wonder what Vince is thinking this very minute.

Sounds like the blizzard isn't actually preventing them from putting on the show from a production standpoint. Seems like they're expecting low to no turnout though (which I'm sure is likely) given that if you're out in public or on the roads after 8:00PM you're subject to arrest because of the state of emergency.

Also the state/local authorities may have authority to take over and use the venue as an emergency shelter or emergency operations center during severe weather, natural disasters, etc.

they could put the nxt people to work film matches from the nxt studio

Same. Hartford has always been kind of a smarky crowd too. Not Philly or Chicago or night after WM smarky, but close.

Connecticut's Emergency Ops. Center is at the Armory in Hartford.

But yeah, was wondering at work if the show's gonna go on. Even if it was the show after the Money in the Bank PPV. Because that's what I heard on the radio yesterday when I was driving around and that the main event was a 6-man tag with Cena, Roman Reigns, and someone else who I don't remember vs. Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, and Bray Wyatt.

Have a live NXT episode.

Douchebag comments warning.

I don't think the people commenting realize that this is entirely out of the WWE's control. Oh well, internet commentors and all that.

Thursdays Raw should be better though since it will only be 2 hours (hopefully) which means less filler.

I bet SyFy would love to have raws ratings for 3 hours

It could also be a test for what SDs ratings would look like if it were live.

Thursday Raw Thursday!

Redo the Rumble This Thursday in.... Hartford

May have been confirmed already, but are they still on for Austin's podcast? Because after last night, I'm chomping at the bit to hear him from H.

Thats next week post raw

Tonight post raw is Wrestlemania 30 24

Curtis Axel Vs. Roman Reigns needs to happen.

Do they have a ring in WWE Studios?

They should have a setup with a ring and 3 rows of seats on 3 sides of the ring like the old NWA/wcw shows. They could get wwe employees to fill the crowd.

Oh that's right. Even better than. Gives more time for the current shit storm to possibly brew further.

I need some beer.

The WWE should have sent the Rock to Rock Bottom this upcoming storm instead of trying to appease the crowd last night.

same size stage and 'tron though

Put everything on the roof!

Kind of excited to see what happens for 3 hours tonight. These surprise curveball shows are always great.

If it was Austin it would have for sure been ended with a stunner. That's how he rolls.

Hope its sit down interviews with various superstars to lay some ground work for wrestlemania

Should build a ring out of snow... have matches in it....

Go to toys r us and buy some trampolines

<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

My line of thinking as well.

In honor of the Blizzard (the one outside and on the net) I they should gather the superstars to sing "Let it Go"

hasn't there been RAW every single week since it started... to "maintain the streak" they are [something]

#CancelWWENetwork has caused a $1.8 million dollar loss driving WWE stock to $10.48 per share today. http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/wwe …

I feel sad for the WWE that this happened, but I hope they use this as a wake up call.

I feel like you create causal relationships much too easily.

But yes, WWE's stock was DRIVEN DOWN an entire four cents per share today.

You might be right but only in this instance its not something I'd make a habit of (besides I'm just reposting from feed)
for me this is just more fun than anything I'm not trying to be obnoxious though.

What do you mean wake up call ? If you mean dropping the whole network idea so the fans don't think they run the show then yea. They didn't have this problem when they were just doing PPVs now the fans have some leverage when something doesn't go there way. The Rumble was fine and it was last year as well, I just hope they stick to it this year and dont fold to the DB fans.

they had the same leverage when it was traditional PPVs: don't buy them.

Live Smackdown woop.


Maybe Sting will make his Smackdown debut.

If Sting showed up on main event but no one in the United States could see it would it count towards his 4 remaining appearances?

Main Event is still shown in the US on Hulu.

Who knows?

you should speculate for us. you're very good at it.

Hoping Raw is 3 hours of Paul Heyman talking about how our lord and savior Brock Lesnar rose from the dead in six minutes while it took three days for Jesus.

I also hope this is a 3 hour Paul Heyman Promo.

They should have some heel take credit for the storm

Juno may be the best Heel they have right now.

Juno vs. Vacant in a #1 Contender's Match.

Tonight is the night

Bright lights bright time bright crowds

Tonight is the night

Would be cool if the ep is the faces trying to hunt down Rusev and his weather-controlling machine (supplied by Vladimir PUTIN)

I'm glad I paid for the Royal Rumble then!

NICE. They are showing the Triple Threat.

They're playing the entire rumble match? :lol:

Praised be his name.

They are just replaying the Rumble LOL

The previous post was a joke, but now I am genuinely upset about it.

Haha they're basically showing the entire Rumble from yesterday. Good thing I haven't resubscribed

It was the best of the rumble.. It was the worst of the rumble

remind people why they are angry and hate your current product

Its whats best for business

I wonder if they are going to edit in cheers and censor the BS chant...

"JBL is our Al Roker"

"We've dispatched him to the roof"

"He's our meteorologist for the evening"

I take back everything bad I said. This is amazing.

If they're just showing the entire Rumble again, they have the opportunity to edit out the crowd reaction after Roman won.

ITS SUPLEX TIME!!

Burn it down to the ground was the best intro theme.
