I did not watch RAW... *Spoilers*
 

But I still marked for Steve Blackman.

Rob Van Dam wrestling a singles match was cool, too. The WWE would be wise to offer the man a lot of money to return and feud with CM Punk for the ECW Championship heading into WrestleMania. Or fuck, CM Punk vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. John Morrison.

If you didn't see it you should. Best Raw in a long time. Two of my favorite bits right there.

Actually, to be honest, the only part of the whole 3 hour show I didn't care for was the tag match. It was pointless, didn't fit the theme of the show, and it was obvious who was gonna win. But hey, 10 mins of 3 hours ain't bad

I was never a big fan of Blackman, but even I marked out for him a little bit. He should have won the battle royale.

Van Dam was a little less toned compared to the last time we saw him, but he was still in pretty good shape and it was a shock seeing him in the ring. Be warned, Alienoid, although it was technically a match, it was a total squash. Nice seeing RVD again though. He'll be back with WWE soon enough. I doubt he's stupid enough to go to the mess of a company that TNA is.

I marked for Blackman too, but I marked harder for the way the battle royal actually ended :love:

Yeah, looking at the guys in the match, I was hoping Steve Blackman, Al Snow or even Scotty 2 Hotty would win (Al could have made a quip about Vince claiming he was the guy who got his ass kicked the most over the history of RAW), but the ending with Ted DiBiase buying the win? :love:

I wanted to see a little Head Cheese action. But Blackman was a douche and acted like he didn't even know Al and heartlessly eliminated him instead.

I say otherwise. Offer the right cash and a nice position, and RVD will probably bite.

Overall I thought it was a great RAW.

The Ladder Match was really awesome. The see-saw spot off the apron was great, but JEFF FUCKED UP THE SWANTON BOMB... AGAIN!?

The Battle Royal had quite a few mark out moments for me. I never expected Blackman or Gangrel to be in it, or even be at the show. The ending was SO great, but the crowd was so dead that it was sad. Honestly I expected Sarge to win it.

MOLLY! :love:

I totally marked out at Van Dam's music hitting. Out of all the people who could have been wrestling tonight, he was last on my list. The pop he got when he did the RVD point was enormous.

You could tell he wasn't there to wrestle a big match, but I have to wonder. Was that so short because he didn't want to wrestle? Or because they were strapped for time? Because they cut into his entrance early and into the Evolution promo really fast. I have to wonder if the show was running long and that they cut a few minutes out of the match.

Sunny looked great.

Blackman looked good out there. Might want to consider bringing him back, Vince.

Blackman should have gotten a contract on spot. During the battle royale I kept saying to my roomate, this should be for a one year Raw contract and either Gangrel or Blackman should win.

But I loved the IRS/Million Dollar Man ending

Blackman had to retire because of concussion related problems, it fucks with him hard, so he wont be back. He cant handle it.

...They can still bring back Gangrel, though, right?

:shifty:

I thought it was migraines. :wtf:

You know who doesn't have migraines?






Gangrel.

I actually marked out for RVD. Not because I like him, I've actually never been much of a fan. I marked out because, for the first time in years, a completely unexpected entrance theme hit and I got lost in that little world of "wait a minute... who... the... fuck???" I miss that.

I still figured I was about to see either a midget, or else Santino dressed as RVD on the Tron. Yes I know that wouldn't make sense, but how would that be a surprise?

Probably the best Raw in years.

I love SUnny.

Seriously, I marked HARD for Blackman. He looked like he was in great shape, and so did Scotty. Everybody else in that ring though looked pretty bad... Neidhart REALLY let himself go

Thing I noticed is that most of the people in that battle royale had gotten chubby, or out of shape and whatnot...

But Blackman, who hasn't wrestled in ages... somehow manages to look EXACTLY the same as the last time he was on TV.

This leads me to believe that time doesn't catch up to Steve Blackman, it keeps its distance because it knows what's good for it. Also, I hear that under his beard, Steve Blackman has another foot.

Was I the only one who marked out for Al Snow? :shifty:

Chuck Norris checks under his bed for Kurt Angle.

Kurt Angle has a team of bodyguards and snipers to protect him from Steve Blackman.

Blackman got a pop live, dunno how it came across on tv

I thought that this was one of the BEST Raws in years, it was great seeing all though old favourites of mine again like Sunny, Money Inc., Stg. Slaughter, and RVD. If my Internet was working properly I'd download it.

and

No you're not Crossrine, my brother did too, not as much as he did for Godfather, Gangrel, Scotty, and Doink, but enough to make the whole house here.

They should totally bring Blackman back and give him an "internet facts" gimmick. Like, he'll just be the most amazing guy ever. He won't ever wrestle because people dive out of his way when he approaches. Then you could have... I dunno... vignettes where he does impossible things like challenge gravity to a fight and win.

Sunny looked absofuckinglutely fucking fabulous!!! :love:

Also I marked out for most of the show last night. :D

Honestly, while it was cool seeing some guys, it made me sad to think that the biggest suprise returns were mid carders at best. Most of the guys never even were on raw except once or twice, so it was like a re-union of current employees and guys from pre-raw era.

it was fun, but it should have been way better.

The only thing I expected to see was the Rock and I was let down by him not being there.

So you're upset that they didn't deliver on something that was never advertised?

Is this Jericho all over again already!?

Pics/vid caps of Sunny! PLZ! I missed that part!

I am sad.

Be careful what you say here, Xero.

I never saw any advertisements for Raw. I dont' go to their website nor watch the channel their broadcasted on.

Yeah, well Rock thinks wrestling's for fags now so you can stop watching in hopes of him making a cameo, much less returning.

Definitely. You might get neg repped for saying that like I did last night!
