Hope they have the Raw set from 2000-2002. Wishful thinking though.

I don’t trust them yet. I’ll check out a recap and then see if I care I missed it.

I feel like this is a true “test” of HHH’s creative.

If this is the WM main-event, wonder if they tease it tonight

I'd try to watch this live but the idea of sitting through commercials in 2023 seems "hellish"....

First hour is commercial free

Sounds like no excuses Mr Jaw :D

which means hours 2 and 3 will have more

Dunno. Already planning on watching Royal Rumble.... adding 3 more hours of rassling into the week seems like too much rassling....

Presented by PornHub.

I get the foreboding feeling there’s like a 98.76% chance Vince shows up, gets in the ring and cuts a really stupid promo... 😬

Turned it on I guess..... we will see how long I last....

Hulkster about to get hurt locked!

HOAK HOGAN is here

Vince hiding in the truck cutting off Hulk's mic

Audio problems already..... lol crew member running out with another mic

Imagining Hogan just going backstage and being handed a sack of money with a dollar sign on it.

Sound guy cashing in his money in the bank briefcase

Nice opening package..... pretty crazy to think of a show going weekly for 30 years with no off-season....

good opening video

Sami Zayn the only one not lei'd tonight

Niiiiiice. I was hoping Jey Uso would be the one to stand up for Sami

Has DX said the same tired shit as always yet?

Sami looking like he gonna cry at Jey Uso sticking up for him :'(

Seph is XXX

Sami has to be winning the Rumble, come on

Bloodline/Sami segment was awesome

Pretty much the only thing I cared about seeing

#RAWXXX starring Rhea Ripley

I think Sami/Roman will be a EC match even tho it feels like it should be a WM match based on the build

I still think WM is KO/Sami vs Usos

Yo what happens when Cody wins the Rumble and the crowd revolts because it’s not Sami

Gonna have another Batista/Danielson situation

FUCK...“Not good” @ref giving the dreaded ❌... 😢

Brock Lesnar fan in the background is so cringe with his forced reactions

So they’re just retconning decades of tag team rules for this storyline. Tag teams don’t have to forfeit because one member got hurt. What is this

Like, just get counted out

These are RAW XXX rules

Freebird Rule?

i love the RAW XXX VHS graphic. Reminds me of stealing pops pr0n tapes as a boy.

They totally knew what they were doing and I applaud them for it.

Baron Corbin gonna clean everyone out, causing Ron to yell “DAMN!”...

Cool @ legends appearing

Wish LA Knight was still doing the Maximum Male Model gimmick.....

I know this isn’t the Dinner and Dynamite discussion thread but I had a burrito for dinner that cleaned me out.

LOL

BRING OUT SURFER STING

Booger Red

Well...so much for letting ’Taker Retire...in...Peace...:nono:

Must’ve been Taco Bell then.

i love LA night

He’s an L.A. Dork, YEAH!

Forgot about Wyatt/Knight being a "Pitch Dark" match.....

Hope they literally just turn all the lights off in the arena for like 10 minutes.

Im behind like 20 mins, but I just wanted to say that when they use to throw the X everyone knew it was a legit injury. Seems like they finally caught on to everyone knowing that and so now they have thrown a fake X several times recently. I love it story wise but fuck it makes me nervous and feel bad thinking people are legit hurt now. Working as intended I suppose.

Does Dexter Lumis carry an axe now? Seems like he was about to kill everybody....

Keep thinking it will be just like an AEW unsanctioned match they've done from time to time.

Thought this would be the main event

DDP at Raw, that trader!!! Tiny Khan gave him everything :mad::mad::mad:

Was the only other thing announced that I really "care" about seeing... two more hours.... dunno what they can fill it with.... damn..... three hours too much.....

4-part Nikki Bella wedding special coming to E!

Becky with no friends..... damn

Didn't they already have that show, for like 3 seasons?

They literally just came back from commercial.....

But the fans clamoured for more!!

I could almost see them making something of this where DAMAGE CTRL and Becky are the Final 4 in the Women’s RR and Becky somehow eliminates all 3 to win...or could just be one of several B-plots for the match...

I think Rhea Ripley is gonna win the Women's Rumble

There's no way they advertise a steel cage match all week long and don't deliver. They have to do it later.

All I know is as far as the SD! women’s division is concerned they really need to drop the Sonya/Charlotte “feud”...so cringe.

Tonight's the night

Samesies!

lol what the fuck is Angle doing out there?

Those dancers in the DX entrance videos are like 50 now :rofl:

noted dx member kurt angle

The Bad Ass Kurt Angle

"Assman" Kurt Angle

same

what is angle doing there

Damn, thought Shark Boy was coming out for a second

Damn if DX puts over Imperium FTR Bald is gonna cry so hard.

Oh god, please don't FTR the Imperium

They should keep the RAWXXX graphics

D-Geriatric X at it again...“lul”

Ok, good.

Rollins finally a face again?

Tag team match playa!

Damn.

Was hoping William Regal was coming out to say "WAR GAMES"

Teddy rocking the salt and pepper goatee and soul patch, nice.

Love to watch old people do skits

Kurt looks like he should be in a 1910s Vaudeville show.

This is much, much better than RAW 25 overall

Miz beat Roman for the IC Title at Raw 25! pretty sure that was the last time Roman lost a championship lol

Grateful they brought Lawler out for commentary during this instead of Becky/Bayley

DAMN

think that bit might be my favorite one of the ones they use occasionally. He's so good at it lol

Well, close enough...😕

"We couldn't celebrate Monday Night RAW without the Smackdown Women's Champion!"

I’ll let it slide...this time.

It’s because it’s daddy Ric’s spoiled brat.

Barely survived this second hour of RAW.... didn't watch that last match at all... (between bathroom break and then doing some dishes in the kitchen)

Pro tip: if you get so high you can't move you'll watch all 3 hours of RAW and kinda sorta enjoy it, maybe. You'll def watch it though.
