The Raw Thread 02/01/12: hasneyserectionbegins2012
 

Starting this now so some jobber doesn't do an early thread and also so I can point this out:

ANY SPOILERS OR REPORTING THAT A CERTAIN PERSON HAS BEEN SEEN IN AN AIRPORT/BACKSTAGE OUTSIDE OF SPOILER TAGS = MONTH LONG BAN, NO QUESTIONS ASKED

We're going to have some fun tonight, CLEARLY.

Holy shit, Dolph/Punk for the WWE title is also tonight. Good lord, check your lube supply and stock up for tonight.

Big Bad Brodus Clay debuts tonight too :shifty:

Taker it Easy tonight, IWC.

As much as I like Ziggler, I'll be rooting for Punk more than I remember rooting for someone in a TV match in a REALLY long time. Mainly because a) I think Ziggler could use some good time in the main event scene before winning the title b) He's no Punk and c) I want Punk to have a nice, long, memorable run full of stellar matches. And this would be one.

Unfortunately I have a feeling Dolph is gonna win.

lol yeah right.

C'mon. If DZ wins the belt tonight then I will post whatever you want.

With Orton, Christian, and Del Rio all out, Punk and Ziggler are far and away the two best talents the WWE has right now. Hopefully these two work an amazing program together with at least 37 matches.

No that's ridiculous. 54 matches.

Pricey bet!

Dolph wins tonight.

Jumping the gun, aren't we?

There's clearly a point to jumping the gun though, or did you miss the large text?

They better not cut Ziggler/Punk to 3 minutes and replace it with some promo bullshit. That would be a devastating error.

It could only be 3 minutes due to [wrestler itbegins2012 is about] coming out and hitting them both with [his/her finishing manoeuvre] though.

If that does happen, it better be right after Eric Bischoff comes out and says this match has gone on... about 3 minutes too long.

really hope Eric Bischoff is not the mystery reveal

not because I don't love Bischoff because I do

because I don't wanna get banned

although technically I believe I said Lock Jaw could wager my posting career that a certain person would not be the big surprise

£10 on Punk/Ziggler getting changed to a tag match.

This isn't Smackdown.

Already got the ban typed out ready. Just in case.

It's not Smackdown though.

f u Hasney

I saw my neighbor outside. He's a specific person. Does that count? When I saw him, he was begining to shovel because it had snowed. Think about it.

Picture proof of who it is... And it is not that bogus picture we have all seen...

Whatever happens, I pray to everything sacred that it isn't Stephanie and Shane/Triple H

I actually think Dolph will win the Title tonight via shenanigans, then lose it right back to Punk at Royal Rumble in a similar fashion as to Edge cashing in his "Money In The Bank" versus John Cena at New Year's Revolution.....

I can see Dolph winning now only so WWE can build up a babyface chase for Punk heading into WM to get his belt back.

chris jericho gonmna come make a dfinsher maniver against dolf sizgler and the fans are like YEHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

punk champuien

then he do it to cm punk and fans WAIT A MINTUE WHAT U DO FOR

then he explan for a title shot lOl

thats my predictien

Tenner on Brodus Clay coming out and ruining someone rubbish like Santino.

I wonder if the little girl who is the "sign" will show up tonight.

it's a good thing that piece of shit "reporter" on the front page didn't put a spoiler in the title of one of his "news" ripoffs, oh wait

I firmly belief cm punk, whilst trying to push wwe to the edge, shoved a little to hard and pushed wwe over the edge. It is now in a downward spiral. Reports indicate that on the way down Wwe momentarily gained enough momentum to peer high over a large tiger shark that appeared for absolutley no reason.

That looks like a spoiler to me, ban Clox.

Don't ever visit the front page. Problem solved.

I can honestly see DZ winning tonight. I haven't been excited by anything Punk has done since his "shocking speech".

We're either gonna see a *surprise* Y2J return, an unsurprising and boring Brodus Clay re-debut ( :roll: ), an Undertaker/Michelle McCool "McMahon-Helmsley Era" type thing, or an actual McMahon/Triple H thing.

That's my take on it.

In a row?
