There's a reason this crap is Dark normally. Who the fuck wants to see Show & Cena make the save?

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

RAW was amazing. The only thing that soured it for me was it had the same ending of every show since Summerslam. The builds for the Shield/Wyatts, Bray/Cena, Cesaro/Swagger, Bryan/HHH, and the fact the NAO are no longer tag champs was all spot on.

 

[JPeeples83]

YAY TITUS. SPELL HUNGRY!

 

[G-Fex]

AHM HUNGRY BYRON

 

[Kaladin]

I'm hungry...

 

[McNei1y]

HHH is such a troll. I love the fact that he put Bryan in a match against Batista with Orton at ringside. It's like 'Hey, IWC, we know you want a triple threat match with these guys but fuck you!'

 

[The Elite]

I'm hungry!

 

[Anth0ny]

YOU LIED TO ME MELTZER

 

[Brinbe]

this backstage pass shit is so weird. titus is hungry

 

[bigkrev]

Well, it isn't Punk, but someone has to be in the Main event so its not Heel vs Heel.

Sheamus?

 

[Kyoufu]

If Punk came out tonight I would have subbed to WWE Network. :lol

 

[lovely ladies]

I cancelled my free trial last night. How is the crowd taking the lack of punk?

I think the trial lasts until the day is over, I canceled and it's still working.

 

[Plywood]

We should fire Heavy too btw.

 

[Mengetsu]

Dark match over.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Chicago crowd marking for the Big Show and Cena. Tells you all you need to know about these marks.

 

[Sephzilla]

I'm legit surprised the crowd isn't booing the fuck out of that ending.

 

[Brinbe]

Got to see Orton eat a running knee at least.

 

[G-Fex]

We should fire Heavy too btw.

YOU TPP MARK!

 

[ElRenoRaven]

The crowd actually just seems to have lost all heat. I think at this point they accepted no Punk.

 

[DMczaf]

 

[Sweeney Tom]

 

[Officerrob]

I think the trial lasts until the day is over, I canceled and it's still working.

Me too, cancelled and mine is still on

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Eww, they're marking for a cheap save from 2 bums like that?

Eff that crowd. Thank God that wasn't on TV.

 

[Toki767]

I still can't believe they're going through with a heel Batista vs heel Orton title match.

 

[Vylash]

Big Show made the save for DB post-RAW, lmao. Great

 

[Pavaloo]

I'm legit surprised the crowd isn't booing the fuck out of that ending.

how many turned backs did you see?

#HijackRAW

 

[Sephzilla]

First hour of Raw = Great
Second hour of Raw = Coma even Cena couldn't kick out of
Third hour = Nothing but wasted potential

 

[Kaladin]

WWE basically took the fan revolt and turned it into an angle. They're genius at deflecting stuff like that and making it seem like it's something they thought of.

Want to hijack the show and chant CM Punk all night? We'll let you...hell, we'll even acknowledge it and make it "ok".

Want to chant "YES" all night long the night after Wrestlemania? You might not get Bryan on the main show, but we'll acknowledge you and make it "ok".

 

[GaimeGuy]

The quality on the network is so gooood

 

[Heel]

You guys know you can watch Punk every week in the UFC right?

dream, did you see that promo from Wyatt? I was very impressed. He connected on a chilling psychological level. You know, instead of leaning on a thimble-deep chant for fans with the memory span of goldfish.

Anyone have a replay?

 

[gurudyne]

More disappointed that we have yet another RAW ending with Bryan laid out than I am with the CM Punk thing. Doesn't paint a good picture of the things to come if they're going to repeat August-October.

 

[FallingEdge]

Do we care about Wrestle-1/TNA spoilers?

http://www.impactwrestling.com/news/item/5542

bootaaaay, where you at brother man?

 

[bean breath]

Someone please give a recap of the Heyman promo.?????

You're the reason CM Punk left, Carnby. You.

 

[rubius01]

plus if punk was coming back they sure as shit wouldn't put it on the postgame show. Especially when they are trying to get a network deal.

 

[The Elite]

A lot of "experts" were pretty sure Punk was going to show up.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Stef looks a little cold.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Impact and New Japan on Thursday.

Thursday is best day

 

[Showaddy]

I'm legit surprised the crowd isn't booing the fuck out of that ending.

I'm pretty sure they're all just suffering from deja vu as they're all transported back to post summerslam again.

 

[McNei1y]

I still can't believe they're going through with a heel Batista vs heel Orton title match.

We still got time for a stipulation where Bryan beating HHH means he gets in on the match... for some reason.

 

[JPeeples83]

Steph doing the yes bit sounded a tad like an orgasm there.

 

[Brinbe]

And I just cancelled my trial sub. Hell no to fucking paying for any of that shit.

 

[Ravensmash]

Disappointment from some of you aside, I bet loads will tune in next week to see if that's the moment he returns.

It's a genius slow burn. Get the crowd excited, shove out rumours via the web/twitter, keep them hooked.

If anything, Punk returning at his hometown is too predictable. Too safe.

It's what they wanted us to think.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

I still can't believe they're going through with a heel Batista vs heel Orton title match.

Stubborn bastards indeed

 

[NastyBook]

He is coming out on the post show. Believe.

Your name and your avatar are AWESOME. Darkonda and Ecliptor's fights in PRiS were fucking fantastic. Keep up the good work.

 

[Judderman]

dream, did you see that promo from Wyatt? I was very impressed. He connected on a chilling psychological level. You know, instead of leaning on a thimble-deep chant for fans with the memory span of goldfish.

I love when MMA-GAF is in this thread. Just that great Armond White-esque quality.

 

[Man God]

I enjoyed the ending a lot.

 

[UberTag]

The crowd actually just seems to have lost all heat. I think at this point they accepted no Punk.

They accepted no Punk as soon as they bought tickets for tonight's show and chanted his name several hundred times like fools.

I bet Punk was laughing at them from his couch at home - provided that he even bothered tuning in - which he may have as the Blackhawks weren't playing tonight.

And I just cancelled my trial sub. Hell no to fucking paying for any of that shit.

Triple H thinks you'll be back in no time flat. He doubts your willpower because he "owns" you.

Impact and New Japan on Thursday.

Thursday is best day

Well, at least, New Japan has something good to offer.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Exactly. WWE killed it today, completely made fools out of the crowd.
