Looking forward to an encore of Braun Strowman: Unplugged.

Lock Jaw is here and "watching"

THE BIG DOG

Moment of Silence for FL shootings to open RAW is WAR

Who wants to run the gauntlet with Elias

Vince (in back on a headset): SAY IT LOUD AND PROUD, COLE!

Cole: "THE BIG DOG!"

What the hell was that I thought my sound went out

Probably not a wise idea to follow up a moment of silence with Reigns entrance afterwards.

A 7 man elimination chamber? You're a pussy, Kurt. Still won't make those tough decisions.

Thats what you want to follow thoughtful silence up with Roman Reigns

Oh god hes going to talk

Oh, this week he's Monday Night Rollins?

My head's starting to hurt.

Reigns really needs to turn officially heel....

THE BIG DOG

Would be a bit funny if WWE got really lazy with other special matches like one year they book a 31-man Rumble because they forgot to include someone.

They knew Jordan had a serious neck injury for weeks but waited till the last minute to change their plans for Rollins which messed up the Chamber's setup as a result.

If THE BIG DOG beats all his competitors for EC in a row to open RAW owenbrown might need to be given a tranquilizer

You can hear a pindrop right now.

I want Bruan to use Reigns body to prematuraly open Cena's pod then proceed to kill Cena
at the EC

Sup

Might have to put on mute and captions if Cole keeps this up.

Every time Michael Cole says 'THE BIG DOG' take a shot

Put your hair up and square up is a catchphrase that Natalya would be proud of

Slik, be a dear and send Cole a tweet.

Tell him to shut up.

Just tuning in why are Roman and Rollins fighting?

Wait, Rollins knee finisher is called the "Revolution Knee"?

That's even worse than the move itself.

Gauntlet match with all 7 chamber entrants.

Random Gauntlet match involving everyone in the Men's Chamber match.

Just like Rollins changing nicknames by the week, he's changing his finisher, too.

OH what do they get if they win?

It's tempting ClockShot...

Big Dog count has to be at like 38 in 20 minutes.

The Big Dog cut a decent promo regarding EC. Now it looks like The Big Dog is starting things off against Seth. Wonder if The Big Dog has what it takes 2nite.

'The Big Dog' is the new 'The Demon Kane'

Hold your breath until Cole says Big Dog. I promise you won't pass out.

I think they should go crazy and have this gauntlet match be six full length matches and take up like the whole three hours.

This would be a great way to rib Jarrett and not be able to announce his HOF induction.

:eek: Rollins beat Reigns. Time to scratch his name off the Chamber's winner list.

owenbrown can breathe a sign of relief and michael Cole can take a Xanax.

Gonna be a long night if we got commercial every 5 minutes.

Roman Reigns...is a world beater he's still gonna weasel his way into the ME at Wrestlemania

Owenbrown can't relax yet, John Cena is out there.

Gorilla Monsoon or GTFO

You all want us to die of alcohol poisoning before 9 PM Eastern?

Ahem "Big Match John" you mean.

John Cena's hair is starting to thin...his hair has CENA NUFF of his scalp.

does anyone remember someone running a gauntket match the whole way? nothing springs to mind

Not paying attention at all during this RAW so far.

Why would Cole mention earlier Cena claims the Chamber match is an unwinnable match for him and then moments later then say Cena has won 50% of all the Chamber match he's been in.

Nothing comes to mind, but I am 100% sure it has happened.

HI RUIEN

Did Cena just somehow convince the ref to make it a last man standing match?

(I paid attention for a few seconds)

Commercial Break number 26 in 40 minutes

They should bring back 'Big Time' by Peter Gabriel for the WrestleMania theme song

cena does a cutter now...

That's a new one by Cena.

:lol: Cole quickly fixing himself from saying he never saw Cena do a Stunner before.

Smackdown creative better be watching closely.

Not the best way to open a show right now.

what the hell are you talking about

#DrofordStrong has CENA NUFF of ClockShot

What time will this damn thing end? 9:30? before? after?

Michael Cole catch phrases, matches going by slow, commercial breaks every 5 minutes.

Obviously it's mailed in tonight.

Starting to pay attention

45 minutes in and HOW MANY FUCKING COMMERCIAL BREAKS HAVE THEIR BEEN?!

52

Decided to watch SCSA in the "Corporate Guantlet" (Which vince won)

People complain about Raw always starting with interchangeable talky segments, that Raw matches are too short, there's too much chatting and not enough fighting.

Raw opens with at least an hour of matches and BOO WHAT IS ALL OF THIS BULLSHIT.

I hate everyone.

Thank you Timekeeper Cole for giving us minute-by-minute updates on how long Rollins has been in the match.

Wow

2 20+ minute matches in the first hour. Roman lost clean

jesus some people never satisfied

no one said the match was bad @ Dunkirk One

I am not invested in the characters on Raw. Not sure what the point of this match is either.

So far it appears to be re-establishing Rollins as a main event caliber never-say-die babyface while doing something dramatically different than usual.

Give us some credit. Zombie Andre the Giant could ride out on a unicorn and we'd probably still diss RAW.

Okay, but what if it was Braun riding Zombie Andre the Giant like a unicorn?

Wish they said it was for the #5 position in the chamber or something.

Is this gauntlet going to go THE ENTIRE FUCKING SHOW?!

This feels like the end of the show

People loved when Joe vs Zayn 2 out of 3 falls went 60 minutes.

A seven man gauntlet match has gone an hour and discussion threads (not just here) are acting like WWE is putting on a Big Show vs Roman Reigns ironman match.

That'd be pretty cool, lol.

john cenas balllld...

I'm not sure. My TV and Internet would probably explode.

WWE has also pulled this trick a lot of times with Reigns' and Cena's opponents making them seem really great but not carrying the momentum afterwards. Biggest different being Rollins star power was way better than the majority of those opponents so less risk of WWE just tossing him to the side afterwards.

I'd honestly be cool with that if RAW was only 2 hrs

Braun gonna be the last to enter?

Rollins looking superhuman here

If this was TNA Seth would run the entire Gauntlet and then be the first one out in the chamber.

Lock your fucking hands CENA!

wow

Im betting The Crossfit Kingslayer has great cardio

:eek: Rollins beat Cena. Can doubly scratch his name off the Chamber's winner list.

double wow

Holy **** Rollins

I thought he was a beast for lasting like half an hour in the Rumble and then having to wrestle 99% of the tag title match afterwards, but this is a whole different level.

Back end of that Cena/Rollins match was great stuff.

Rollins looking like a million bucks tonight

I just think RAW having a fantastic opening match has people not knowing how to react
