Official Raw Thread (1-5-09): HBK lays down for absolutely NOBODY!
 

Tonight from New Orleans, we have...

Glamarella vs. Goldust and Melina
Jillian Hall vs. Kelly Kelly
Miz and Morrison vs. Rey Mysterio and Kofi Kingston for the tag titles
William Regal vs. C.M. Punk for the IC Title

These threads are getting earlier and earlier.

Soon we'll have the Mania thread started in February.

It's only two hours before Raw, geesh.

Doesn't sound that good, an Legecy in there?

this reminds me of mine and radds "wars" over this

-------------

No official preview?

2 hours 8 minutes.

Geesh.

Well hell if we're going to do that, let's go ahead and start the ROYAL RUMBLE THREAD.

WWE.com stopped posting those previews months ago.

Evening fellas. Haven't got to do this in a few weeks. Glad to be back. Nothing in the preview really sticks out but I'm sure will be adding alot with the JBL/HBK Story heading into Rumble. Also lookin forward to see who gets in Rumble.

CM PUNK VS William Regal, doesn't stick out?

Are you high?

If C.M. Punk wins the IC Title tonight, he will become the second fastest person to win the Triple Crown in WWE History.

And cementing his place in midcard <s>hall of fame</s> hell.

Who is first? NVM, Angle. That's right.

Looking forward to seeing Goldust in the ring!

Hey aren't you that guy who Rick Rolled Vince McMahon???

LOL

You know, I could see them giving Melina Marlena's gimmick. I mean, her name is close enough. Paint her gold and give her a cigar.

WHat does that have to do with the fact that I like Goldust?

Eh it's been done and don't see a title change tonight so maybe just down on it for that reason.

Apparently he just realized that.

Card is a bit weak. Regal and Punk should be fun to watch.

Rick Astley+ Goldust= Ratings.

No, Diesel aka Kevin Nash.

Kurt is currently second, but Punk could beat him by about 6 months.

Hmm...

Hahaha at those random fans

Gonna call it now- HBK wins the Rumble, JBL beats Cena, HBK quits his job with JBL, HBK vs JBL at Mania.

This music sounds like the opening to Inside Man.

...........Why is this starting Raw?

Jericho and Orton?

It's the SERIOUS duo!

Orton and Jericho to open the show. Wow.

Evening everybody.

I call for Orton winning the Rumble

Please tell me JBL out of the Title match

I'll join that protest.

JBL is gonna get his ass kicked. Unless HBK is gonna back him up.

HBK should be driving the limo and opening up the door for JBL.

HBK!

Isn't that cute, they're both wearing Cowboy Hats.

Nite

LOL at the Nick Hogan drove us here sign

"Just Born Loser"

That doesn't make sense.

AHAHAHAHA Nick Hogan drove me here!

Best sign ever

JBL is saying Orton and Jericho are poor.

Jericho wasn't a prophet.

Oh boy.

She lost the weight.

Here comes Stephanie the Elephant, because she's fat.

I miss when Steph was hot.

Orton's gotta win that.

Orton and Jericho are so similar in character, they probably should form a faction together.

I think JBL's pants are too baggy.

.......................................................cena.......

LOL at Shawns face

Boooooo.

Orton better boot one for 3 tonight.

The guy just lost 100lbs. Give him a break. :shifty:

Is Shawn still being depressed at every possible moment?

I'd mark out if his job under JBL led to him becoming a corporate coke fiend, returning Shawn Michaels to his old ways.

WOOO Punk vs. Regal

Shouldn't Shawn be pulling in $1 mil from his WWE contract?

and merchandise sales?

I spent part of the earlier evening watching Stone Cold Steve Austin moments over the years. Reminded me of when this show was good.

If you have WWE 24/7, the old RAWs are awesome

LOL Cole hiding behind a chair, I still love that

WHAT!!!!!!!! NO FULL INTRO FOR GOLDUST!??!??!?!

It's tranny Look alike time!

Ha. Goldust is in the ring. :(

He spent it all on Rogaine and chaps.

Superfan is ready to kill Melina.

Her Tai Chi shit is so stupid

She should do the old split slide in, not the jumping bounce one.

I'd hate to see him and MVP together, I'd rather be at a funeral.

man. how does she get a front row every week.:shifty:

Satino and Batista grew the same beards.

Just preparing for Mike Knox to absorb them like he did with Edge's.

Goldust should always, always get a glorious entrance. Does he still have the robe ditched, though? Goldust without the robe on the way to the ring isn't Goldust, either.

Probably not that much, but he makes enough that no one buys this storyline.

Actually, thinking about it...this storyline would have been better if they got Ric to be JBL's lacky against Shawn. I feel it would have been a bit more believable (expecially with Ric's financial track record). Also helps with the retirement storyline of last year.

I wouldn't mind it if she shaked things up a little, but I think the bounce one is fucking hot.

That could have been Storyline of the Year. :y:

He needs the gold falling from the ceiling as well.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE

Vintage Goldust!

I need to see Christian TONIGHT! Smackdown has been taped this week already! He needs to do something...and be like a Free Agent.

wow that was kinda impressive

RON ARTEST!

Rose was going for the old Kung Lao Mortal Kombat Fatality with her sign.

I missed it, what happened?

Anyone have any background on this Rosa person?

Honestly. Who throws a sign? Besides security who catches the "bad" Cena signs.

She is beth's number one fan.

jk

She is Milena Rouka from OVW and shit. Think she was a Diva Reject.

PPPUNNNNKK

I asked that last week. But nobody gave a damn to answer.

Elite List?

Chyna

Santino in his first match

Val Venis

Right up there with ricky, Hart, and Perfect

PUNK'S A MARK!

Nothings changed since the ROH days, Punk is still name dropping Steamboat

Another Underworld. Yippee. :roll:

Regal's going over thanks to Layla interference.

I highly doubt this is a one and done feud.

MAH answered this for you, but she's Milena Roucka from OVW and FCW and shit. She was in the Diva Search, but got signed, and has since turned into a bit of a bitch heel in the developmental leagues. She actually reminds me of old-school Melina in many ways. Including the name.

She had a big part in this group called "Bad Kompany," which was led by her kayfabe boyfriend, Mike Kruel, who I really hope gets called up.

Shouldn't Rosa be banned from attending any live WWE event after what happened last week?

I miss the days where he'd yell STEAMBOAT during armdrags
