Really pumped for RAW, really. Will determine if they're actually going to make it seem like the company is in another's hands or not. Plus the ew CEO angle has me VERY interested.

Damn, RAW has been so fucking good these last few weeks in terms of the stories.

Yeah, totally. I could understand some people being annoyed last week since Punk wasn't mentioned and it didn't pick up until the end story wise (bar some great matches). But not referencing Punk because of Vince's ego and not showing the MITB footage made damn good sense.

That said, last week was the mix on a great album from the first brilliant track into the second, we'll see how hot this song starts.

Punk has to be referenced tonight, keep him and the angle hot. Show the Comic Con footage, have Triple H say he was serious about him coming back. HHH's character has always been traditional and he knows that the real lineage of the title matters so he really wants Punk back.

Honestly can't wait to see how tonight plays out.

I'd love to see small changes, or even just one big change in the RAW layout/format.

DEATH TO THE RAW GM.

Should close the chat tonight. Give the server a real stress test.

New Raw set/logo perhaps?

Also, someone hook me up with a stream when this kicks off :).

I AM SO FUCKING GIDDY AND CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FIRST EPISODE OF RAW IS H!

Just read on wwe.com that the title match is going to kick things off.

LOL, yeah, that's gonna end clean.

Does give a good indication that something epic might happen tonight, though.

I'm definitely intrigued/pumped for tonight's Raw.

I'm hoping for an AWESOME result for the opening contest. :D

We will know if JS got a heart attack if the whole opening signature is Triple H.

They should replace the signature with the opening riff of Hunter's theme fading.

That would be pretty awesome, actually.

I really cant see them having Rey/Miz at Summerslam for the Title but at this point if they throw that out first it'll probably end in a DQ/Double countout and they'll have to have the match at Summerslam.

Honestly, I see some kind of deal where Vince comes back with Punk on his side as revenge and we get a champion vs. champion match with Rey facing Punk with Hunter and Vince in each man's corner.

that would be dumb

Honestly, yeah, I could totally see something like that.

There's no way Vince is done with this storyline. He could be out after it, but there's no way you're going to end the Mr. McMahon character on what's essentially a cliff hanger.

Maybe even continue playing up the "is it real?" aspect by having HHH call Beth Phoenix out to try and reason with him. He referenced her during the Comic-Con confrontation, so it would make sense to include her at some point.

James Steele is gonna try to time his crank session to finish right when HHH's music hits.

Really looking forward to seeing a new title belt tonight. Death to that damn spinner belt.

If everyone saying Taker and HHH will have a match at WM again, I could see Vince convincing Taker to wrestle HHH with the stipulation that if HHH loses he gets control back. This would require Vince to stay away til like the Rumble and then bring back Taker when he comes back. Would actually be brilliant...

FOR GOD'S SAKE A NEW HEAVYWEIGHT BELT PLEASE !

quite brilliant..... too brilliant for WWE Creative though :(

Yeah. Gonna be an interesting show in a number of ways.

I agree with Hasney. Have no chat tonight and push the new server to it's limit.

Xero is a person who likes cheese.

Just been woken up for some reason, but since I'm up and no work tomorrow....

If someone could furnish me with a stream, it would be delightful :heart:

Hello gentlemen

I haz been furnished via Google and damn it's a fine stream.

wow, this server is awesome right now

hells yea, Title match first

Oh good they kept that atrocious belt.

Yeah, normally I'd be like 'what,' but the show should be pretty loaded if this is first.

I hope Cena doesn't come out and tell HHH that what he did was wrong, and hand him his shirt

don't think anyone will win here. somethings going down

ah server works.. good evening infedels!
