RAW knows you know that its not telling the truth.

[Drew]

Hi.

[Drew]

DX? Actually wrestling?

[THWIP!]

OH MY GOD! Triple H is going to be in the rumble?!?!?!? WHAAAAAaaaaaaaAAT!

[Briomega]

Can't be worse than last week. So there's that.

[Drew]

I'm playing Dragon Quest 8. I'm in this Moon World. Makes more sense than WWE Booking. Zing, son! Zing!

[Briomega]

I'm playing Dragon Quest 8. I'm in this Moon World. Makes more sense than WWE Booking. Zing, son! Zing!

Great game.

[THWIP!]

This isn't for the titles right?

[THWIP!]

I guess not.

[Briomega]

Breaking news? Really? :lol:

[UltimateQuintessa]

Hopefully Orton punted both Psych guys in the head.

[Ryan_ZOOM_Turner]

I wouldn't mind them putting the belts on Punk and Gallows. Anything that means more Punk is a good thing.

[Lab-Rat]

MY GOD! BREAKING NEWS! while a match is happening no less.

[Briomega]

I wouldn't mind them putting the belts on Punk and Gallows. Anything that means more Punk is a good thing.

Yeah. I think spreading the straight edge thing out wider would work too.

[Briomega]

Hopefully Orton punted both Psych guys in the head.

Yeah, like we'd be so lucky.

[Drew]

Hopefully Orton punted both Psych guys in the head.

Shawn Spencer and his partner BlueBerry Johnson want you to take that back.

[Briomega]

:lol: So two guys most people don't know to begin with are supposed to guest host and one of them isn't even there?

[THWIP!]

The white guy who was going to be a host had an emergency appendectomy this weekend, that's why he's not there.

[Lab-Rat]

just curious...why the hate for the Psyche guys?

[Briomega]

just curious...why the hate for the Psyche guys?

Don't watch the show.

[Drew]

The white guy who was going to be a host had an emergency appendectomy this weekend, that's why he's not there.

His real name is James Rodriguez. It's true.

[UltimateQuintessa]

Shawn Spencer and his partner BlueBerry Johnson want you to take that back.

I don't know who those guys are but Orton should punt them in the head too.

[Ryan_ZOOM_Turner]

just curious...why the hate for the Psyche guys?

Personally I have no problem with them, but I think they should have gotten a bigger named guest host so close to The Royal Rumble.

[Lab-Rat]

Don't watch the show.

Ah...ok. It's a good show, though. Both guys are very funny.

[Kurt Russell Crowe]

I really don't want the last two guys in the rumble to be hunter and shawn...oh well.

[Lab-Rat]

Personally I have no problem with them, but I think they should have gotten a bigger named guest host so close to The Royal Rumble.


You are probably right...but I think they did it to help promote John Cena's guest starring in this Wednesday's episode of Psyche....which is very understandable.

[Briomega]

Ah...ok. It's a good show, though. Both guys are very funny.

Saw it once when it first started. Just wasn't my thing.

[Lab-Rat]

Oh hey the match ended. I wasn't even watching it....and I'm ok with that. I hope DX loses the belts on Friday.

[Lab-Rat]

Saw it once when it first started. Just wasn't my thing.


That's cool.

[Ryan_ZOOM_Turner]

Cole fucking sucks.

[UltimateQuintessa]

Cena's arms are sick.

[UltimateQuintessa]

Oh hey the match ended. I wasn't even watching it....and I'm ok with that. I hope DX loses the belts on Friday.

I hope Orton pays you a visit on Friday.;)

[Briomega]

God, King is retarded. :lol:

[THWIP!]

Cole fucking sucks.

This is what I was thinking, also, it's worse to hear him talk while watching him.

[Lab-Rat]

I hope Orton pays you a visit on Friday.;)

Really? Cool. I'm a fan of his. Maybe we could hang out. :p

[Ryan_ZOOM_Turner]

This is what I was thinking, also, it's worse to hear him talk while watching him.

Exactly and I hope that DX loses the belts to Punk and Gallows.

They have nothing to gain by holding the belts.

They are completely boring and suck.

[Masculine Todd]

They made MVP look like such a chump last week. Their promo two weeks ago was so good. Make him look like a viable threat, 'E!

[Masculine Todd]

Exactly and I hope that DX loses the belts to Punk and Gallows.

They have nothing to gain by holding the belts.

They are completely boring and suck.

Yes. They're incredibly flaccid. At least it keeps Hunter from the title.

[Masculine Todd]

Following the Jericho/Punk heel model of promos works. Miz has sounded great the last few weeks.

[SidekicksRevenge]

Is nailing Trishelle the same as being a giant celebrity?

[Briomega]

Ahhh prison rape humor.

[Ryan_ZOOM_Turner]

Yes. They're incredibly flaccid. At least it keeps Hunter from the title.

True. The Miz should be in the main event picture also.

[Kurt Russell Crowe]

here we go, always with the gay stuff being the ultimate insult in the E. ugh

[UltimateQuintessa]

They made MVP look like such a chump last week. Their promo two weeks ago was so good. Make him look like a viable threat, 'E!

He is black, so it ain't gonna happen.

[Masculine Todd]

So is Show backup for any mid-sized mid-card heel now?

[Briomega]

Well that was pointless.

[Kurt Russell Crowe]

here we go with the comments about Big Show being a shoe in for the rumble even though he's been eliminated going on however many times, eight or ten probly.

[Masculine Todd]

True. The Miz should be in the main event picture also.

Yeah, but that would be awesome, so I doubt it will happen.


here we go, always with the gay stuff being the ultimate insult in the E. ugh

Duh. Gays are totally lame...this is where Shawn comes out and says "not that there's anything wrong with that."


He is black, so it ain't gonna happen.

Uh, since when does the 'E have a reputation to be racist...or sexist...or homophobic?

[Masculine Todd]

Yeah, squash the babyface in a program for the secondary title on Raw. That's their "making stars initiative" right there.

[Masculine Todd]

Remember when this guy used to rap?

[UltimateQuintessa]

Remember when this guy used to rap?

Remember? I was listening to his cd at work today.8-)

[Masculine Todd]

Remember? I was listening to his cd at work today.8-)

His in-ring free-styles (well, rehearsed "free-styles") were always fun (except for the rampant homophobia). Now, he does these absurd, over-exuberant scripted promos that Brian Gewirtz thinks are witty and he sounds like such a tool.

[UltimateQuintessa]

I totally agree. Once in a while Cena makes me laugh. But I miss the free style battle rap he would lay down on his opponents.

[Masculine Todd]

Okay, that was kind of amusing.

[Masculine Todd]

Maryse certainly is a strong personality, but that doesn't necessitate being an active wrestler. She's so clumsy (not that Eve is particularly great but she's decent).

[SidekicksRevenge]

I totally agree. Once in a while Cena makes me laugh. But I miss the free style battle rap he would lay down on his opponents.

Remember when they made him slow them down because they were afraid people wouldn't understand? That was pretty much the beginning of the end of Cena's usefulness.

[Masculine Todd]

I can't tell if she's posing or having a seizure.

[Masculine Todd]

Funaki stealthily hidden in this commercial was the first time I've seen him on television in, well, I can't remember. It's amazing that he hasn't been Future Endeavored by now.

[UltimateQuintessa]

Remember when they made him slow them down because they were afraid people wouldn't understand? That was pretty much the beginning of the end of Cena's usefulness.

That's the strange part to me when he started getting better in the ring, his promos got worse.

[UltimateQuintessa]

Maryse certainly is a strong personality, but that doesn't necessitate being an active wrestler. She's so clumsy (not that Eve is particularly great but she's decent).

Better as a valet, but that DDT was nice.

[Masculine Todd]

Christian having to feud with 'Zeke is disappointing. I fear not even Christian can carry Jackson to a good match.

[Masculine Todd]

Better as a valet, but that DDT was nice.

I don't want her relegated to a valet per se. I wish there was some other role for her other then a novelty for a male star. She's too much of a personality to simply be a component of a male star's persona.

[UltimateQuintessa]

I don't want her relegated to a valet per se. I wish there was some other role for her, rather than as a novelty for a male star or a wrestler. She's too much of a personality to simply be a component of a male star's persona.

How about controlling a stable of wrestlers?

[Princesa]

So it's settled, Bret will be back soon.

[Masculine Todd]

Vince is a great performer, but this sgment is atrociously bad.

[SidekicksRevenge]

How about controlling a stable of wrestlers?

The French Canadian T&A??

Seriously, I wouldn't mind her as a strong manager for someone who can't work the mic himself. Maybe she could play Shelton Benjamin's Mama?

[Princesa]

E Jackson was better as a valet

[Briomega]

Vince is a great performer, but this sgment is atrociously bad.

Would have been funny if his leg gave out while climbing over.

[King of Mars]

So, Bret Hart is once again affiliated with WWE? Didn't Vince kill his brother?

[Masculine Todd]

How about controlling a stable of wrestlers?

That'd be cool. A manager to a stable. I like it.

[UltimateQuintessa]

The French Canadian T&A??

Seriously, I wouldn't mind her as a strong manager for someone who can't work the mic himself. Maybe she could play Shelton Benjamin's Mama?

Thank you so MUCH from reminding me of that angle.:-?

[SidekicksRevenge]

Ooooh! FASHION OFF!!!!

[Masculine Todd]

Would have been funny if his leg gave out while climbing over.

Ha! Remember when he injured himself by walking into a ring?

I was hoping that kid he gave the mic to when he asked "what do you think Bret will do if I let him on the show" would respond "whatever the writers script him to say."

[Masculine Todd]

Thank you so MUCH from reminding me of that angle.:-?

Giant Bernard (Albert/A-Train) was wasted.

[Briomega]

Ha! Remember when he injured himself by walking into a ring?

I was hoping that kid he gave the mic to when he asked "what do you think Bret will do if I let him on the show" would respond "whatever the writers script him to say."

Yeah, that's what I was alluding to. :D Would have been great.

[Masculine Todd]

So, Bret Hart is once again affiliated with WWE? Didn't Vince kill his brother?

Not deliberately. Despite Bret's hatred of Vince at the time, he never blamed him for Owen's death. That was a freak accident. At least, that's what the all-knowing, omniscient Dave Meltzer said about the situation.

[Masculine Todd]

Yeah, that's what I was alluding to. :D Would have been great.

I get jokes!

...

I suck

[UltimateQuintessa]

Giant Bernard (Albert/A-Train) was wasted.

I was referring to Shelton's momma not the T & A tag team.

[Masculine Todd]

So Vince is wearing a brown blazer, a dark purple dress shirt and a black tie. That's a fashion abomination.

[Briomega]

Don't know what they are leading to with this.

[Princesa]

"The current WWE champion Shaemus".....realllY?:roll:

[Masculine Todd]

I was referring to Shelton's momma not the T & A tag team.

Oh, well that sucked too!

Poor Shelton.

[Benel Germosen]

Not deliberately. Despite Bret's hatred of Vince at the time, he never blamed him for Owen's death. That was a freak accident. At least, that's what the all-knowing, omniscient Dave Meltzer said about the situation.

Bret writes at length about Owen's death in his book. Though he doesn't come out and blame the WWE in the book, he plainly states that Owen shouldn't have been allowed to be anywhere near that stunt.

[Masculine Todd]

I doubt it will happen, but I hope Rey wins the belt. Firstly, it's much more fresh than a past-his-prime 'Taker as champ yet again, and secondly, it would likely indicate that the much-rumored Rey/Punk match for 'Mania will be for the title (though that's not likely if the hair/mask stip is in place).

[THWIP!]

Pretty awesome speech from Cena.

[J Money]

Pretty forgettable so far. Needs some Santino.

[UltimateQuintessa]

Rey with the belt? I suppose if it means CM Punk gets to headline a Wrestlemania.

[Princesa]

I hope either Rey wins or he is beaten to a pulp.

[Masculine Todd]

Miz's new song is annoying and incredibly generic (than again, so are most).

[Masculine Todd]

Rey with the belt? I suppose if it means CM Punk gets to headline a Wrestlemania.

It's happened before (Rey as champ). Plus, you know, I like Rey. He may not be the wrestler he was in 1997, but he's still a solid hand and he's super over.

Also, yes, I want Punk in the title picture again, especially at 'Mania.

[RoShambo]

Have they announced all of the entrants for the Rumble match yet?
:ow many spots are still open?
I always look forward to seeing the surprise entrants.

[Briomega]

Ooookay.

[UltimateQuintessa]

I just don't see Rey beating Undertaker, unless HBK helps Rey.

[THWIP!]

There are only 2 spots that haven't been announced.

[Benel Germosen]

Okay, firstly what I just saw on my T.V is stupid. Kelly Kelly vs. Carlito? Is Carlito the new Chavo?


Secondly, Instead of MVP and Miz in the Royal Rumble, which neither of them will win...why not just have them wrestle for the title? Like, you know, work a program that makes sense?

[Eison]

I wouldn't mind them putting the belts on Punk and Gallows. Anything that means more Punk is a good thing.


I am really hoping that is in the cards for tomorrow's Smackdown tapings. It will be nice to have Punk get Jericho's tv schedule for awhile and DX needs to go ahead and split for their Mania feuds especially since they don't have any interest in appearing on both shows like Jeri-Show did.

[Roger]

Santino!!!!!

[Masculine Todd]

I just don't see Rey beating Undertaker, unless HBK helps Rey.

Batista has been cutting promos on 'Taker for a while on Smackdown. I was thinking he came in and laid them both out, leading to Rey somehow getting the win.

Or something. It's a longshot. I doubt Rey gets the gold, especially considering how excessive a title match would be with a stip (hair vs. mask).

[UltimateQuintessa]

Pretty easy night for Carlito.

[RoShambo]

Have they announced all of the entrants for the Rumble match yet?

Where the heck did that smiley come from? :lol:

[Briomega]

Is he King Kong? :lol:

Well I haven't watched Smackdown in a while so I didn't know anything about the hair vs. mask thing. And if that goes through CM and Rey get what? 10-15 mins. worth of a match on the card. That is weak.

[Roger]

swagger looks like biff from back to the future
:)

It's a shame Carlito's being misused like this. Admittedly, he hasn't been motivated since, gosh, '06 and asked for his release twice in the past, but the man was conditioned to believe that, no matter how hard he worked in the ring and on the mic, he would never transcend that glass ceiling. The same thing happened to Benjamin (though he doesn't have the charisma and mic-skills of Carlito).

I just miss the Cabana. No one on raw has a "talk show" anymore.

That's merely rumored at this point, but the guys at the Torch and Meltzer are saying there's a good chance it goes through.

10-15 isn't too bad for a prelim match, and if it's a title match, if they went 15 minutes, I would be content. They had a good match for the Intercontinental Championship a year ago at the Armageddon PPV and that went 13 minutes, I believe.

[Eison]

I hope either Rey wins or he is beaten to a pulp.

As much as I want to see the title off Taker, I'll be rooting for beaten to a pulp. :lol:

But I doubt either will happen. Rey will give it the old jr college try and but come up "short".

[Masculine Todd]

I just miss the Cabana. No one on raw has a "talk show" anymore.

The Peep Show was great too.

[UltimateQuintessa]

Hot Damn would I mark out if Kane wins the rumble this weekend.

[UltimateQuintessa]

The Peep Show was great too.

"The Cutting Edge" Nothing like Live Sex Celebrations.

[Briomega]

Santino's elimination last year was awesome. :lol:

[RoShambo]

There are only 2 spots that haven't been announced.
Aww, so Edge and just 1 surprise?

And this is a nice video package.

[Eison]

I've started to see their match mentioned a lot more lately in the "official" leaked WrestleMania plans and I have even seen the hair vs mask stips mentioned as well.

Personally, I'd rather they didn't do the hair/mask bit. Everyone knows that the WWE is not going to unmask Rey while he is still active because they make too much money off his merch. Rey and Punk both have enough going on and can build a strong enough program without that silly gimmick added.

[Briomega]

Yeah that guy's ... funny...

[Benel Germosen]

Yeah that guy's ... funny...

Don't go by this. Psych is hilarious.

[UltimateQuintessa]

Cena does another NES game reference. NICE

Sometimes, the most telegraphed finish is the right finish and can still create intigue. Regardless, I just want Punk feuding with a main/upper mid-card guy again, and Rey fits, the bill. I'd rather have them feuding for the belt, but if not, I don't mind the stip.

I'll be happy if the angle happens and think the in-ring product (even with Rey ailing) should be pretty good. I just think adding a stip like that reeks of overbooking an already strong idea.

[xanderharris]

The Vince/Cena confrontation was awesome and I wish they had more stuff like that where Cena sounded great then his over the top comedy garbage.

Plus theyve done a decent job of building the Rumble. And less comedy.

[UltimateFactor]

Shatner...is going to be...Hilarious.

[THWIP!]

Jesus fuck Sheamus is so fucking white.

[Briomega]

Shatner! :rock: Now that's a guest host I can get behind.

[Masculine Todd]

They barely book the WWE Champ on the show. That's...yeesh.

[UltimateFactor]

And Sheamus has had like...almost NO presence at all since he won the title. He feels more like an Intercontinental champ than a world champ.

[UltimateQuintessa]

Jesus fuck Sheamus is so fucking white.

And that is why he is champ. And not Kofi. :cry:

[Benel Germosen]

Jesus fuck Sheamus is so fucking white.

Light refract thorough him.

[UltimateQuintessa]

I figured it out!

Sheamus is the White Lantern!!!

[Foolish Mortal]

Man, King and Cole are really hard selling Sheamus. :lol:

[Masculine Todd]

I'll be happy if the angle happens and think the in-ring product (even with Rey ailing) should be pretty good. I just think adding a stip like that reeks of overbooking an already strong idea.

It definitely doesn't need it, but given the straight-edge ritualistic shaving idea, it's a nice little payoff to a showdown between the two. Regardless, Rey's still capable of decent in-ring work and Punk's solid. The two could have a good match (ala their last PPV bout) if given the chance.

[Briomega]

But of course. :lol:

[Eison]

I never get tired of Orton's crazy mannerisms. :lol:

[Foolish Mortal]

And now your champion looks like a chump, Orton looks like a chump, and Cena looks like Superman again.

[Briomega]

And now your champion looks like a chump, Orton looks like a chump, and Cena looks like Superman again.

Yeah, that was insanely stupid.

[UltimateFactor]

I could have passed on tonight's Raw. :surrend:

[Roger]

And now your champion looks like a chump, Orton looks like a chump, and Cena looks like Superman again.

cena is the franchise of the WWE!!!!
don't ever forget that.....

[THWIP!]

And now your champion looks like a chump, Orton looks like a chump, and Cena looks like Superman again.

Well Hulk Hogan is the #1 guy.

[THWIP!]

I could have passed on tonight's Raw. :surrend:

Yeah, me too.

[RoShambo]

I could have passed on tonight's Raw. :surrend:

ME, too.
But I didn't.

Or something. It's a longshot. I doubt Rey gets the gold, especially considering how excessive a title match would be with a stip (hair vs. mask).

Batista shtick is he wants the title, and they just had an extended Ray/Batista feud. so Taker beating Rey, followed by Taker/Batista is more likely.

[Damian696]

I've started to see their match mentioned a lot more lately in the "official" leaked WrestleMania plans and I have even seen the hair vs mask stips mentioned as well.

I think I remember the whole hair vs. mask thing comes from a hint Punk himself made a while ago. anything else is speculation at this point, although many people think it would be a good thing to do.
