Raw Thread- Will Contain Spoilers

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 2:28 am

Anyone else watching Raw tonight?

Do we really need Lesnar/HHH 3?

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 2:29 am

That said, it was a good angle, and a good promo by Heyman as per, was hoping for Hell in a Cell though

by Korankye88 Tue Apr 16, 2013 2:44 am

Cesaro loses his title on raw! Shocking

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 2:45 am

Great match between Cesaro and Kingston, but will Cesaro's losing streak never end!? He deserves better than this

Cynic in me says that this was for the people of Boston

by Korankye88 Tue Apr 16, 2013 2:46 am

Yea I think Kingston went to college in Boston

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 2:49 am

I have a feeling that title change wouldn't have happened without the Boston incident, although Kofi did seem to forget that he was from Ghana not the US. But have they mentioned it at all tonight?

I don't want to see Triple H/Lesnar again, and it's obviously been rushed because of the Rock's no show. I also thought that Heyman's promo was actually pretty poor by his standards. He dragged it out far too long, but I think that's because what he was saying was just annoying and disappointing in the end. Wrestlemania's match was the perfect end to the storyline.

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 2:53 am

They made reference to Kofi going to college in Boston.

I think you may be right about Lesnar v Rock Crimey, but I don't see why Lesnar even needs to be at ER, unless Brock is signed up for more dates than he was last year, WWE will have made a huge mistake booking him again this year, it leaves him with only 2 dates and really disjoints the flow.

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 2:56 am

I meant they haven't made any reference to the actual bombing.

I assumed the contract was a lot different to his last one which was obviously a lot more restrictive.

Did we really have to see the cash-in in full?

by Ché Guerrero Tue Apr 16, 2013 2:57 am

According to Wiki Kofi moved to the US when he was only 1 so i guess he has more right to call Boston home than Ghana

by Ché Guerrero Tue Apr 16, 2013 2:59 am

They surely wont mention the bombings in a scripted capacity

Have they not, I missed the first 5 minutes, I assumed VKM would have made his usual 'to entertain you' speech

I don't know the details of the contract, I don't think anyone outside WWE does

Apparently we did

I would have expected even just a short "All our prayers go out to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings and their families."

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:02 am

Hahaha, is he going to kiss Big E next?

Ziggler isn't that great on the mic to be honest, and he doesn't do the arrogant kiss as well as Edge used to do.

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:05 am

All I can assume from this segment is Del Rio is an idiot

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:06 am

We're going to end up just seeing most of the Wrestlemania matches again.

One thing that can be said, is that traditionally there better, freed from the pressure and P Diddy concerts

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:19 am

I've only just realised that Daniel Bryan now uses both of Benoit's finishing moves...

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:20 am

I really wish he'd cut out the diving headbutt, such proven dangers, such a crappy looking move

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:27 am

Dr Gregory House MD wrote:I really wish he'd cut out the diving headbutt, such proven dangers, such a crappy looking move

Same, the crossface is fine but the diving headbutt is one of the things that experts thought had an effect on Benoit, and like you say it doesn't even look good, and would hurt the person doing it anyway.

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:29 am

I quite like this recap style promo.

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:31 am

I thought that promo was quite good, though it was weird to hear Ryback speaking for such a long time

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:34 am

Yeah, protecting him by having it pre-taped.

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:41 am

Proof WWE have too many authority figures

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:45 am

Great Khali and Hornswoggle.... Crying or Very sad

Is it 2008?

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:46 am

And Santino... Rolling Eyes

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:47 am

Rhodes Scholars have to win this surely

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:55 am

What is the point of throw away matches like that? Last week it was Santino/Ryder/R-Truth vs 3MB, this week that.

I don't know who that sort of rubbish caters to.

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:59 am

Well they totally failed to recreate the Fandango excitement from last week. Laugh

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:00 am

EVERTON DID NOT PLAY THE RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not that I have any affiliation to either team but it really bugs me, I read it on bleacher as well

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:01 am

I thought that as well, you would have thought they'd have sung a bit more, is he going face?

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:02 am

This is embarrassing. WWE are pushing it far too hard. I imagine a lot of the people at the original event were doing it more ironically than anything else.

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:04 am

Good save at the end, I was thinking the same thing though

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:25 am

PUNK

This show just got better, good match between Ziggler and Swagger though

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:26 am

Yeah, I think Raw has been totally forgettable though. Highlights have been a decent Ryback promo and that match.

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:26 am

Oh and Lesnar attacking 3MB, I don't think there is anybody who can look as devastating as Lesnar can.

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:38 am

I understand Punk's promo, but it was a little dissapointing, probably a sign of how he has carried the show in recent times more than anything else

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:42 am

Dr Gregory House MD wrote:I understand Punk's promo, but it was a little dissapointing, probably a sign of how he has carried the show in recent times more than anything else

Yeah, I expected a lot more, even if it was just something to write him out for some time off.

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:43 am

Highlight of the night so far was Cole asking JBL why Henry attacked Sheamus

'I dunno, that's what he does'

Laugh

I think the JBL, Cole, Lawler team is the best commentary Raw has had for a long time. Lawler is actually bearable this way as he says very little.

by x12x Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:49 am

I nominate that we have the word f**k autocorrect to Fandango...and you can all Fandango yourselves.

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:53 am

They CANNOT give that match away on Raw

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:54 am

I would have made Celtic Vipers v Henry/Show PPV as well

WWE spoil us sometimes

by x12x Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:55 am

Also does Cesaro losing mean Kings Of Wrestling can reform? (please)

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:56 am

Sheamus @WWESheamus

Did anyone get the number of that bus? #Raw

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 5:09 am

So Ryback goes from monster to cowardly heel in one week, they should have brought the Sheild out during the staredown, at least then Ryback could have left to make a point rather than be stared down by Cena

by x12x Tue Apr 16, 2013 5:09 am

Just watched Punk's promo, the look on his face reminded me of when HBK became obsessed with the streak...do you guys think WWE may be trying the same thing with Punk to set up the rematch at ManiaXXX?

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 5:10 am

Very pro-Cena crowd this week which confuses things. I don't understand why they're turning Ryback heel, it leaves a real lack of top faces.

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 5:10 am

Average Raw all told, some good wrestling but nothing that will live long in the mind.

by Dr Gregory House MD Tue Apr 16, 2013 5:12 am

Yeh seems an odd move

I don't know tbh Viper, it's possible, but I'll wager he'll be back before Summerslam

Goodnight Guys

by **Crimey** Tue Apr 16, 2013 11:37 am

I assume that is how they're going to keep Punk off of TV for a while which seems very odd.
