For anyone interested, the beer Jericho used tonight was National Bohemian:

 

[billy beane]

Hey GAF, sorry I wasn't around for Raw tonight, I beat Mass Effect 3 before so I haven't really been in the right state of mind.

How was it tonight?

 

[SoulPlaya]

Clearly they're all looking to be the next Katie Vick. And who could blame them?

Or Tori, Lita, Chyna, Terri, Kelly Kelly. . . . . . oh man, this thread really is on repeat!

Oh well.

Kane: The WWE's ladies man.

Chicks everywhere.

BTW, guess who travel together! lol

Shoutouts to Cracker Barrel.

 

[Plywood]

Didn't I already use this line with the same picture months ago?

Sometime I feel like all y'all on repeat.

I had a nagging feel of familiarity.

Shoot, I wish I really did have a picture of me hugging Kane.

For those who actually believe WWE was unhappy about all the "Yes" chants, tonight in Washington, DC, the company has planted a ton of "Yes" signs for the lower bowl in front of the hard camera that people in the company made this afternoon.

Plant signs ---> don't have the guy on the show*, brilliant!

(unless you were playing Where's Waldo? during the Cena/Lesnar fracas or the two seconds he was on the Taker/HHH video)

Wrasslers love them some Cracker Barrel! I would freak out if I saw Zigs chomping down on some Momma's French Toast Breakfast.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I really don't know which of those 5 facial expressions is the funniest.

I wonder if they'll start blasting in YES! chants on the speakers.

Vince changed his mind from the time between the signs were planted to when RAW actually went to air.

It's not that people think Vince hates the YES! chants or an overpowering audience or even Daniel Bryan.
Clearly one of his personalities does.
The problem is that the other Vince personalities don't and Vince changes his mind ALL the fricken time.

Which leads to contradictory shit like:
- Bury Bryan in 18-second title defense at Mania because YES! chants are cropping up at wrestling events everywhere and he's super over
- Have Bryan acknowledge the chants and how grateful he is the next night... but don't let him wrestle on TV
- Edit the chants out on Tuesday and have Bryan dump AJ and tell the crowd the chants are mocking him
- Have Bryan tweet about how awesome the chants are and that he's getting a YES YES YES shirt
- Make the shirt look like total ass
- Plant signs in next week's RAW audience to get over the YES chant and rally behind Bryan
- Don't have Bryan wrestle on television; just have him on TV to help Sheamus restrain Cena and Lesnar from fighting each other

This is just another variation of having your midcarders trade wins back and forth in feuds that don't go anywhere or put anyone over.
Actually, something like the Kofi-Ziggler program would be refreshing right now because we're stuck in a rut of squash matches and faces going over all the time that's really gotten tedious.

 

[EraldoCoil]

WWE sources are now confirming the Bellas are done with the company once their deals expire on 4/30. They have been with the company since signing developmental deals in 2007.

Hm.....sad times....the Diva division gets smaller and smaller

 

[Plywood]

Hm.....sad times....the Diva division gets smaller and smaller

They'll bring up some of the FCW girls to fill the hole.

 

[DMczaf]

Bellas gonna drop a pipe bomb on Raw next week.

In my pants.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Bellas gonna drop a pipe bomb on Raw next week.

Ohhhhh, sometimes

I get a good feeling, yeah.

 

[Perspicacity]

They'll bring up some of the FCW girls to fill the hole.

I thought it worked the opposite way

I thought they go around and drop pipe bombs on employees while they slept?

 

[EraldoCoil]

I guess Ms. America will be debuting soon......

 

[Plywood]

I thought it worked the opposite way

They're going to fill the holes of some FCW girls and bring them up along the way.

You picked the worst possible pic.


edit: http://www.fcwwrestling.info/divas.html

Maxine is still listed on FCW also Naomi.

Bring up Audrey and Sofia. Don't bring up Raquel unless they bring up all of Ascensione.

So fucked up.

He buries talent when they accidentally get over.

If he did that in 1997 we'd have no attitude era.

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Tan line is in the danger zone.

 

[Reneledarker]

Don't bring up Raquel unless they bring up all of Ascensione.

Mmm Raquel isn't part of Ascensione anymore.

These from FCW or Brazzers?

To Plywood, there is no difference.

 

[Plywood]

To Plywood, there is no difference.

I respect both professions equally for they both have provided me with entertainment.

Spoiler

And they're both fake.

I also have no idea what you mean.

Mmm Raquel isn't part of Ascensione anymore.

Ah I don't really follow FCW so I didn't know.

 

[sf2fanatic]

djsandman- Here what I was talking about the feud with Colt and Pierce..

Here's a pierce promo before their match that happen this past SUNDAY

http://youtu.be/TQmX2I_RNwY

Spoiler

On the NWA Hollywood website they have last Saturday's episode and I enjoyed the Scorpio Sky/Willie Mack match

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I'm so easy to please. Brock Lesnar is class.

 

[DiscoJon]

Watching RAW, I'm at the CM Promo. "MY DAD SMELLS LIKE BOOOOOOOOOOOOOZE!!!"

 

[DiscoJon]

I'm also having a White Russian as I watch. Jericho's jacket is awesome.

 

[Htown]

I continue to marvel at WWE's capacity to destroy good things.

They've managed to make CM Fuckin Punk feuding with Chris Fuckin Jericho BORING.

 

[DMczaf]

I think this was officially the night that Punk turned into 2005 Cena.

I can't follow you from here, Punk. I'm leaving the memories alone.

 

[bean breath]

Just checked in in Hampton VA with Shamus and the lady behind the desk asked us where we were from.Shamus said England and Ireland .She said to me"your the Irish one,I can tell because your accent is so strong".I said in my most cut glass English accent"I can see nothing gets past you madam".She said"I'm brilliant at spotting accents".She then says that she has put our rooms next to each other and I said"I'd rather not be close to him madam as he and the rest of those English swines and his country have made my people suffer for 800 years".She said"oh yes,I know my history and looked at shamus like he'd dropped out of a dogs backside and changed my room.Bless her.The great white just stood looking at me like he wanted to do me some mischief.

[DiscoJon]

Oooooh radioooo, JOB to everyone you knoooooowwww.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

But the memory remaaaaaiiiiinnnnsssss!!!

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Huh?...

No really, wat? Aside from being in a surprisingly boring and overly dramatic/personal feud right now, how has Punk turned into 2005 Cena?

 

[DiscoJon]

I'm at the HHH/Undertaker fluff piece.

Christ...

At least Takers haircut was pretty cool.

 

[DiscoJon]

WHAT THE HELL OTUNGA THAT'S WADES ENTERANCE OMG I FUCKING HATE YOU

 

[DiscoJon]

That's no coffee he's drinking, it's pure HGH.

 

[DiscoJon]

I just noticed Brock and Cena have the same haircut.

 

[Conrad Link]

Raw was boring.

You know when reptile dysfunction is the highlight of the night things are pretty stupid.

It was a nice couple of days run I guess. We'll always have last weeks episode. It'll be the Raw we always reference back to just like MitB was the PPV we always reference back to for best 'current days' thing when complaining about how boring the show is now.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I just noticed Brock and Cena have the same haircut.

Clearly this is why Lesnar returned. HAIRCUT WARS!

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Clearly this is why Lesnar returned. HAIRCUT WARS!

A&E's next big show.

 

[Linkified]

I'm so easy to please. Brock Lesnar is class.

Same. But I hope Vince doesn't do a TNA and run out of dates they can use Brock like Dixie did with Ric Flair originally.

 

[Khrno]

I give this week's edition of RAW:

Spoiler

3 out of 5

Opening segment was the highlight of the night, but the whole Punk/Henry/Jericho got the job done, and who would have thought so, Mark Henry is again looking like a serious threat, when everyone thought he was just gonna get buried by Vince.




Oh, and the Bryan Yes T-Shirt is out of stock, my order is on backorder status, seems like the WWE weren't expecting to sell well at all, so probably just made a few shirts. And with the european tour starting this week, they probably decided to prioritize the house shows over the online sales.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Having woken up and reflecting on things I feel defeated for actually having watched Raw live last night (or this morning), I should have stuck to my guns on the glorious fast forward dunction but my sleep cycle is in disarray, basically i'm saying Raw was shit/10.

The only good segment was the opening one, I can actually say Kane was the best part of the remaining show but it's nothing to trumpet, all he did was stand in a corner and later chokeslam some stooge, man if this were over a decade ago that sentence would still work except it would be Patterson or Brisco being slammed into the canvas and it would be a better show as well. Maybe i'm just grouchy right now but damn that was a horrible turn around from last week, I must resist the allure of live Smackdown, just repeat to myself that live SD is always far worse.
