Guess they're having an all-talent meeting before RAW tonight. Wonder what's up.

6 hours early, nice

Lesnar gonna be there tonight?

I like early threads, especially around PPV time. It gives a chance to speculate how good the show may be, discuss what happened last week, and how in no way will it be followed up this week.

Will the divas get a chance tonight?

Hornswaggle sent out a tweet the other day with the hashtag #GiveLittlePeopleAChance. According to Ryan Clark, from the one tweet, and one tweet only, he's starting a movement.

Every day I'm still surprised he's able to 'report' 'news' here. Or anywhere other than his own sites. And don't get me wrong, this isn't a post hating on him, I just find it amusing, and sad, at the same time.

<font color=goldenrod>Raw seemed to be more interesting last week than it had been over the past several months. Then again I was busy doing my DDP Yoga and a few other things while the show was on in the background so it could just be misleading.</font>

Seriously though, whenever I think of DDP Yoga, this is what I instantly think of.

Breaking News for tonight's broadcast. A Tag Team match has been set! I don't think its a spoiler, but just in case.

-EDIT- I misread it, this has been set for Wrestlemania 31

<font color=goldenrod>Feel like I should be the official ambassador for DDP Yoga on this board. Been on the program for 4 weeks and am down about 7 pounds in addition to just feeling way better. And that's without even doing all of the recommended changes to my diet, so it'll get even better once I start that.</font>

That's good shit there Vito! Keep it up man!

I get to go babysit a couple girls at my convince store I used to manage cause the new manager is out of town, and there's this weird dude always staying around outside after close trying to talk to them.

Thinking about rolling up blasting Mark Henry's theme.

Also word on the street is .

KEVIN NASH to the HOF

So X-Pac is the only one not in.....yet.

Made the choice to stay and watch it with all you fellas on here instead of going down to the Arena live tonight. Will see if I made the right choice or not.

Pittsburgh Raws usually involve Big Show crying at some point. It has happened like 3 times, no joke. We've also had Santa run over and the debacle that was the Royal Rumble 2014 so only can go up from there, right?

Will be curious the reaction Brock gets tonight vs Roman and if they finally add Bryan to the IC Title match officially or if Sheamus returns and he goes there.

Also wanted to take a moment to throw this out there. We all bitch, moan, whine, and complain about the writing and how things are booked sometimes and go negative a lot more often than positive but stories like this remind me why I fell in love with Wrestling when I was a kid in the first place. Good work today WWE.

can Whiz Khalifa get an F5 tonight? Or any big impact finishing move? Maybe through a couple flaming tables wrapped in barbed wire with thumb tacks... I really don't like this guy.

lol this thread title reminds me of when me and my niece went to a SD taping, and a kid kept chanting "lets go Coffee". That was the highlight of that night.

This is Awesome...

Danny Orton vs Yosemite Samuel

John has CENA NUFF of Randy wearing pants. Matt Hardy seems amused by this.

http://images4.fanpop.com/image/phot...20-300-388.jpg

Cena repeatedly pantsing Orton in public probably the reason Orton just quit wearing pants on a 24/7 basis.

I really wish during the whole special guest bullshit tonight we hear this instead since they are in Pittsburgh

\_0__/

Daniel Bryan is back in the midcard. Just like Benoit after he won the title at WM XX.

Could see Bryan winning the I.C. and Cena winning the U.S. to have a winner take all match at SummerSlam. Stars like that in Midcard will make those titles more relevant than anything else could.

Barrett. Never. Wins.

The running knee as a finisher. Smh

How sad the IC title bit is the only part of WM I'm interested in

So far I'm thinking about going back to Guildwars and just youtubing Orton and Lesnar segment.

Why not Kneeing someone in the face seems like a good why to take them out.

R-Truth is still there lol

R-Truth JBL and Booker T should be a permanent team

R-truth still there THIS IS GOLD!

Well, yeah. He needs to steal the belt again.

I hope that isn't all of DBry we see tonight :(

Cool hashtag, but you have to say it like Brad Pitt in Seven

#WHATSINTHEBAAAAAAAAG ?

Have a feeling he will be back out to at least announce Connor's HOF Award.

Just feel that it was a bad spot and felt anticlimactic.

How great would it be If Truth had a masterplan passing the IC title around and stealing it

Didn't Doink once steal the WWF title?

Think Harper lost a tooth

The belt isn't in that bag

:lol: a toy replica

I think someone should steal Paige's underpants.

:(

Now this is something nice to see.

Love this kid.

Warrior Award for Connor aww that's sweet.

the feels!

<font color=goldenrod>Connor</font> :(

Makes me cry

Connor The Crusher makes me legit emotional.

Classy and awesome of them.

That's beyond fantastic. Legit had tears.

<font color=goldenrod>Teared up watching that</font> :(

That standing ovation and crowd cheering for Connnor made the hairs stand on the back of my neck. Wow.

Connor choking out Daniel Bryan... looked a lot like DB and Justin Roberts. Did Connor get "fired"?

You know what would be cool? If Connor were also unlockable in the next game. With Undertaker at WrestleMania stats.

<font color=goldenrod>The idea of the Warrior Award is awesome though. Gives fans who inspire other fans a chance to be recognized.

I hearby nominate Tazz Dan for the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2016.</font>

Seconded.

It would be great if say the Warrior Award worked on a public nomination and voting process i.e. people send in nominations, finalists are chosen and then either a panel decides on the winner or members of the public vote online, text etc.

shoot!

Brock is totally thinking about Fighting Frank Mir right now.

Heyman is amazing

C'mon Angle.

Does saying that Heyman is a god amongst insects on the mic even apply anymore? It is common knowledge at this point isn't it?

Worked shoot with the mic?

Keep talking Paul. God this is good.

Who keeps shutting off the mic?

Holy Shit Heymen going hard.

Heyman is the best....

Pretty sure Heyman and Brock just turned face

<font color=goldenrod>I'm going to be so fucking sad when Brock leaves, just because I'll miss these godlike Heyman promos. I mean yeah of course he can always manage other people, but he kicks it up that many more notches for Lesnar.</font>

Might Taker reappear tonight?

BROCK LESNAR

Makes so much money to stand around and glare

Whatever WWE is paying Brock Lesnar they should probably just start paying Paul Heyman that.

Ugh hate Rowan so much

The WWE needs a fighting champ not a showcase champ.. i say do a Montreal Screw Job on Brock

Are Rowan and Ryback ever going to be main-event contenders in future (or ever again in Ryback's case)?

They lock as if they have the makings of perennial mid-carders like the Kofi Kingstons and Carlitos of the world.

First of all, Erick Rowan's theme is wack as fuck. Can't get excited for a banjo and music box.

The Connor the Crusher thing is good and "touching" and all that....

But I went "uhhhh" when they made it sound like Warrior was talking about an award like this, when he was actually talking about an award for crew members.

The way I see it if Lesnar is leaving after WM there is no way he is walking out of WM 31 as champion and it would utterly ridiculous to have him win at Mania, walk out and then strip him of the title on Raw in absentia.

WWE needs him to be clear on his future sooner rather than later.

I like it.

Secondly, he has no showcasable part of his gimmick. He's 2d. He has no character. He needs some feuds to be established, and not just those stupid "oh, he's disarmingly brilliant" backstage segments.
