[Mr. Luchador]

RVD got fat.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Del Rio with Jobber entrance.

How the mighty have fallen. XD

btw, did it ever come out what Warrior died of?

 

[slightconfuse]

 

[Keyser Soze]

Everybody hating on RVD?

what in the flying fuck???

Hating on this match-up, which has a history of bad matches already

 

[HarryDemeanor]

So are they going to make the US title relevant again?

 

[Nameless]

He could always airbrush some muscles onto his tights.

This would be hilarious

 

[Ripclawe]

oh for fuck sakes, crowd can't chant RVD in unison?

 

[Guzim]

I think RDV and Rio had a match a while back. They do not gel at all :/

Just think that Ricardo was the basis of that feud.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

hahahaha it hits the ref too!

 

[Silky]

Time to get dinner

 

[NihonTiger90]

RVD is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

 

[funkystudent]

A IC title tournament. This is the most filler thing they have done in a while.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

So no Bryan on the show after all?

Authorities in Phoenix say former pro wrestler The Ultimate Warrior died of cardiovascular disease.

Maricopa County spokeswoman Cari Gerchick says that's the finding from an autopsy conducted Thursday by the county Medical Examiner's Office.

The 54-year-old wrestler's given name was James Hellwig. He collapsed April 8 while walking with his wife to their car at a Scottsdale hotel and was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Scottsdale police have said there were no signs of foul play.

The Ultimate Warrior was one of pro wrestling's biggest stars in the late 1980s.

 

[Fatalah]

I haven't watched RAW in some years -- the modern camera work makes me very nauseous. Anyone else?

 

[Ithil]

oh for fuck sakes, crowd can't chant RVD in unison?

You're not cheering for Harvey Beat?

 

[Surge]

When is the last time they had a tournament for anything?

 

[Dark Ninja]

Haha this crowd can't chant RVD. Terrible

 

[Bluekaveli]

This would be hilarious

Tribute To Warrior

 

[mightynine]

How the mighty have fallen. XD

TMZ says massive heart attack.

 

[Big One]

I'm honestly legitimately tired of all these old fucks on RAW. Kane, Mark Henry, Big Show, RVD, Rey Mysterio, put them all on a bus and have them crash off a cliff. Fuck these old guys for putting themselves over younger talent.

 

[Sanjuro]

Did they do the Warrior tribute at the start of the program?

 

[Heel]

Is the IC title vacant? I'm confused.

EDIT: Oh, for #1 contender.

 

[truly101]

So are they going to make the US title relevant again?

Ambrose is the new Magnum TA

 

[Jarrod38]

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Big E has it

so basically yes

 

[blackaroni]

Sheamus vs Swaggs

Lmao. Not watching that at all.

:jnc

You are honestly legitimately not the target demo.

 

[Serpentine]

Barrett and Cesaro in the finals, i'm thinkin

also yo pls retire RVD

 

[KissVibes]

Sheamus vs Swaggs

Lmao. Not watching that at all.

That'll be a good, physical match.

 

[BHZ Mayor]

I know it's not you know who, but I just want confirmation that I'm being delusional. Who is this in the hoodie behind Truth?

 

[krae_man]

Just once when a wrestler is watching on a monitor backstage, I want them to be watching the TV feed so they are watching themselves, watch themselves, watch themselves.....x infinity.

 

[Ithil]

Is the IC title vacant? I'm confused.

EDIT: Oh, for #1 contender.

Most likely they are firstly trying to fill up the show with a framing device of matches since Bryan isn't there, and secondly trying to push the IC title as a bigger deal since it's the second from the top title now.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Mad at this crowd already. B-Ham is now on my list of places never to visit

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

None of the names you mentioned did anything but job to younger talent over the past year. You have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[Bluekaveli]

I think it would only make sense for bad news Barrett to win the tournament with the way the crowd has been over him lately.

Swagger will cost Caesaro his match against BNB

 

[strobogo]

Everybody hating on RVD?

what in the flying fuck???

It's because he's been incredibly boring since 2003. And his last run was super boring. As was his last run before that. And his TNA run.

 

[Vylash]

Please tell me I missed Del Rio/RVD

Well ADR had two years to put himself over and he's fucking boring. RVD doesn't have anything to do with that.

 

[mightynine]

I know it's not you know who, but I just want confirmation that I'm being delusional. Who is this in the hoodie behind Truth?

Batista.

[Master Thespian]

A IC title tournament. This is the most filler thing they have done in a while.

They're actually trying to make the belt mean something judging by the list of guys in the tournament. The IC title is officially becoming the World Heavyweight Championship, lol. They'll get to the US belt eventually.

 

[Sephzilla]

I know it's not you know who, but I just want confirmation that I'm being delusional. Who is this in the hoodie behind Truth?

Who the shit is that?

Edit: Yeah, probably Batista

 

[PInk Tape]

The IC title being acknowledged? Is this real life?
Edit: I think it's Batista.

 

[somedevil]

This one is random. I believe it references Silent hill homecoming:

Odd complaint, given Rey, Kane and Henry do nothing but put over people, and RVD just returned so he's not going to instantly lose. Big Show I'll give you.

 

[Sephzilla]

Jesus Christ what's with all the commercials?

 

[Serpentine]

Please tell me I missed Del Rio/RVD

it'll continue as raw rolls on
