Ermaximus Presents: Raw Thread for 07/09/12. Yes Men, Mystery GM's, and Heath Slater eats a Chicken Wing!
 

Raw is in Denver. Bob Backlund is in Denver. You do the math. Also, bonus points if you spot Skippord or Davebrawl on tv.

Bob Backlund could simply be there to manage the Sultan. It could be.

Maybe it'll actually be Iron Shiek and he can give Heath Slater the "old country way."

Step Test on RAW?

Ill be their live 4th row right on the ramp. leaving pretty soon for Denver.

I hope that Brodus Clay takes revenge for the punch Big Show gave to him. Do you think they will name more participants for the WWE Championship Money in the Bank match? With the match being only for former champions, maybe Backlund is in Denver to announce his participation, as a legend to promote the 1000th episode of Raw.

Iron Sheik was The Sultan's manager, not Bob Backlund. Bob Backlund did manage Kurt Angle for a short time in the late 90's.

I miss Test :(

Miz and Mysterio are possibilities, but I don't see either one being added to the match.

I fail to see what the RAW thread has to do with protesting public breastfeeding and going down to the nudie bar.

Is this thread Bob Backlund Authorized?

Why don't you ask him for us Mr. GM for the night.

Ooooo is Lock jaw GM again?

Well, they have Ryder as GM of SD this week, but didn't announce who the Raw GM is. Vickie, Teddy, and Foley have all done their week as GM, so that doesn't leave a ton of options open unless they get Adamle, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, or Flair for the night.

or some guy named Heyman.

;)

Bob Backlund and The Iron Sheik both managed The Sultan.

Are you doing a "'know-it-all' who constantly gets it wrong" gimmick? Is that it?

Foley is technically a possibility too if they felt like they hadn't worn out the "Foley going for one last hoo-rah" thing enough.

But I doubt they're going to add anyone. They've made the match seem pretty much set at 4 guys.

Hope they plan on adding more too the RAW MITB as well it seems kind of lopsided with SD's which currently has 7 and will likely end up having an 8th in Wade Barrett but regardless the result will be the same.

Cody is already in it. He qualified on Smackdown.

I'm still think Wade Barrett returns this week on Smackdown to take the 8th spot.

As for the GM, we may be over-thinking it and they'll just go through Raw without mentioning anything about a GM. There's only so many past GMs that can come back and run shows for a week. Just ignoring it tonight and having Ryder on Smackdown stretches it out another week without having to use any of the past GMs.

They could always use someone who was GM for a night, like Orton or Jericho.

Isn't that what I said? :shifty:

Hmm. Who else has been a one night Raw GM?

Maven was.

It sounds like you're saying there are currently 7 and Cody will likely be the 8th.

Cody is already in the 7.

Gonna make my signature Crossface Chicken Wings for dinner tonight in honor of Backlund possibly coming back.

Let's get this started right.

They should have AJ be the one to beat Slater up tonight.

It's been a while since WWE was back in Denver. I'm just curious of what reception they'll get.

It will clearly be Lock Jaw aka the computer as GM tonight.

This isn't the first time since the "incident" is it?

Wait, what?

I was the Anonymous Raw General Manager.

Do you work for WWE?

Probably aren't even allowed to answer my question anyways.

He is all knowing...just trust him.

Shh, it has to be kept a secret.
