Official Raw Thread is SAVED (9-15-08): Punk...Jericho...Steel...CAGE!
 

Yes, I have come back to save this once happening, enjoyable weekly thread. In the last couple of weeks it has degenerated into a mass of boredom, filled with uninteresting posts. Now the savior of the Raw thread has come back to save the weekly Raw thread! THANK YOU!

I think we'll see Honky Tonk Man tonight.

I have a weird feeling that they're going to hotshot it tonight.

Though I'm actually interested in RAW for the first time in a long time. Punk/Jericho and Haas will easily make me tune in. :y:

I'm kinda psyched to see Kane put his mask back on tonight.

During their confrontation last week, the Big Red Monster supposedly dropped a clue to his strange actions as of late when he pulled out his old mask, slipped it on and laughed demonically.

Hm, he didn't put it on last week, did he? Or does 'slipped it on' mean something different in America?

Edit:

I'm kinda psyched to see Kane put his mask back on tonight.

Despite this Kane story being bizarre and confusing as usual, I must agree. This angle is part of the reason I've been watching each week for the last month or so.

From what I remember he just had it on his hand.

No, the terminology is the same.

In fact, here's the video:

The steel cage match will open this week's edition of Raw.

Yeah. Something fucked up is going down.

That, and they're trying to get the MNF crowd. But matches like these in the beginning of the show never just end there. Maybe another "it doesn't count" title change on a technicality, which would fit the Jericho's current character.

It'll probably lead to Punk/Batista vs. Bitchtits/Boricho

I hope they get 25 min for the cage match.

Fuck that, I want 10 minutes plus entrances

Here we go.

We'll give you 7!

Time for Punk to job.

There's no way this actually goes off first. There HAS to be a catch of some kind.

Kicking it off with the Cage?

Calling it now- C.H. Punk will be in there.

Kidding of course

Well fuck me sideways. The cage match is first on the dockett.

This should be a quick night.

And evening, fellas.

No nonsense Punk tonight

Wow. They gotta be plannin for something else if this is first tonight theres no way have Kane/Mysterio as Main Event

Punk's first cage match in the WWE.

I'm getting more American each day. Not only am I watching RAW live, but on Ten HD we've got Monday Night Football on live, too.

PUNK IS TEH SERIOUZ

Well since it's not C.H. Punk, it'll be J.O.B. Punk.

I like Jericho's kickpads.


That's about it.

Jericho likes going in the backdoor. :naughty:

You don't like his dancer's legs?

Punk needs to do a promo tonight

There is no good reason for this to be first. This is a main event, damnit.

Wow the crowd is dead.

Punk needs to bust out the superplex with both guys on top of the cage

Tee hee. Patented hiney.

yay, another sit on our hands crowd, good job south

WTF, Philly do something right and put up 6 against the Cowgirls

Punk is woozy from the punt to the head.

Spunk vs Nailz Jericho... yawn.

Shitbreak...

Who have the crowd come to see? Haas? Fuck me, they're dead for a PPV level match.

Pathetic thing: I'm watching No Surrender on my laptop and Raw on my TV. I have no idea which show is going to suck more.

On the one hand, it's TNA. On the other hand, it's WWE.

Fuck.

Someone says this every week. Maybe the crowd isn't, as much as the whole fuckin industry is

Unlike you, they haven't drunk the "WWE-these-guys-are-officially-big-stars-because-we-said-so" kool-aid.

Customary Jerry Lawler loss/humiliation tonight then?

addy, I thought you hated CM Punk and considered him a jobber?

It's not like they are watching a Bradshaw match...yet.

No, that was your stupid fucking interpretation of what I said.

.................This better not be a rope break....................

Also, the WWE doesn't create the illusion of it being a ppv level match by having it kick off free tv. That's something the IC title is for, which is what the World title is when these guys hold it.

I'm happy to see them have it, I'm just pointing that out. They're not the main event, because they're not Cena or HHH

Weakest door shot I've seen.

A dead crowd can kill even a good show, but a raucous crowd can make even a horrible show seem exciting. WWE needs to focus on only booking historically hot crowd towns when presenting TV and PPV shows. Makes me laugh when WWE decides to hold a PPV at a venue where the crowd is always dead and wonders why even the passable stuff isn't getting over.

well hell that was close.

That was a weak door slam to the head.

To be fair, if I say Punk is anything less than a PPV level performer, I get accused of a VENDETTA.

lol. You've been on record as despising CM Punk and considering him a nobody

That.......would have been an interesting finish.

Thanks for reminding us that the previous champion doesn't matter, Lawler. Fuck you.

Of course, Jericho's not to blame

Lawler is horrible

Of course I have. :rofl:

GTS off the top would be sick

it'd never work

Great tease for the GTS there. I kinda popped there.

Nice.

Just be consistent, ya know. Don't say he isn't one minute, and then say he is the next, and you wouldn't be in that position. I'd only disagree with you on one count, rather than see you contradicting everything you say.

I mean, let's be honest, Jericho and Punk are on about the same level of credibility and crowd-heat these days

Lame.

:rofl:

What? weak finish

Weak finish.

fitting for Jericho's reign i guess

Remember when your avatar was William Regal? Just about every post you made was in regards to CM Punk sucking

This crowd is pretty weak. The chants that get started up last for 10 seconds and with only 10 people doing it.

And wow, poor end. No finishing moves, hardly any teases.

Cue Batista entering the cheat code :roll:

Batista is about to enter his Contra Code.

Wonder what Vince did to get Condemned to debut on national TV?

I said this match, being a WHC match between the current and previous champion in a steel cage was a PPV level match.

I made no judgment on the participants. So you are seeing things that are not there. As normal.

I've always said my opinion about him. I still think he's over-rated, doesn't have 'it', was rushed into a title reign too quickly and that he didn't outpop DX. That's pretty much it.

Oh no. HBK's house got leveled!

Did WWE do a similar thing for Katrina or are they just doing this because Ike was in Texas?

Is that man made of oil?

...............who was that?

Hey, Nicky escaped from the box.

DOLPH DIGGLER IS HERE!

I was looking for HBK to cause Jericho the title here. Lame finish instead. Go figure.

lol, yea. I'm seeing things. Just like I was seeing things when I raised the point that you referred to CM Punk as a jobber and sucking right? And you said, no I'm making that up.

I'm seeing things right now looking at your post history too.

Is he ACTUALLY good then, or is he CM Punk good?

I don't want another 'best jobber with a briefcase since IRS', you see.
