oh hell yes

I can has F5

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT indeed

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I guess I can stop now, best Raw of the year.

God Brock looks like ass in hd.

That was awesomely random.

Guess the natural disaster line was what I thought.

Got to give it up for Cena being a company guy (which we all know...). Jobs to the Rock, takes the F5 the next night, left laying.

Yup

Rasslin is F5'd

The "holy shit" chants followed by Lesnar kicking Cena's craptacular cap out of the ring was like the cherry on top.

That was about 15 minutes worth of crap in the 9 o'clock hour from being one of the best Raw's ever. Has to be one of the best in years.

The Masked Man is livetweeting the dark match. Shaemus is getting boo'd out of the building, while Bryan is getting cheered like no other.

This is legit the best I've felt about wrestling since MITB last year.

Hopefully they don't **** it all up next week.

Not to take away from that awesome Raw, but if there's any Royals fans in here, Hosmer's apparently one of us.

Eric Hosmer ‏ @Hos3KC

Wrestlemania and raw would've been sooo sick to go to if I was back home.

Same here. Can't wait to see where they go with Lesnar, Cena, Rock, Punk, Jericho, etc. I know they need to start building new stars, and I think they will, but that's quite a bit of star power, even if some of it is temporary.

Oh, and an AmDrag ROH DVD.

YES! YES! YES!

This RAW was probably the best one since the throw back one

Sooooo I missed RAW tonight...

Sounds like I missed a good one.

Can someone give me a summary? Is Brock back? What did Cena have to say about last night? No Rock appearance? Etc?

Dis should be the new OP:

Honestly, just watch it. Should be up on youtube soon if it already isn't!

E: On a side note, Brock Lesnar originally made his debut on a Raw after Wrestlemania 10 years ago.

Thanks for the new OP image. Perfect.

Also he tweeted an awesome promo Bryan gave to the crowd, and then this:

that's one awesome kid

What an awesome crowd. That brought me back to Attitude-era crowds. Great Raw.

LMAO

The Miami Burial

... job

I don't know why but Brock punting Cena's hat cracked me up.

Loved the YES! stuff and the love for Bryan...shows how ****ing stupid the WM decision was. It's hilarious because it's already completely backfired on them.

wtf

I think last night was the most active this thread's been since, like, 2007.

This is a few days old, but I love it so much:

I can't remember the last time I watched an entire episode of Raw live.

I haven't watched wrestling since the days of the NWO. I did watch a little last night. It still seems the same way. These guys need to shut up and get to wrestling. So I changed the station and didn't look back.

Super cool story

So I was watchin' dis football game and I was all liek wtf when they took an injury time out? Liek back in the day THEY'D JUST KEEP PLAYING. Panzy bundle of sticks newbs

So I just changed da channel to a dude pounding a chick while eating a sandwich LOL and never looked back. ^_^

is that billy gunn?

This is too cool to actually happen:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/IZcwPGLqQ9I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Yes and yes.

Wow cant believe lesnar is back biggest moment in yrs

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/LCzBf-jo84o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Raw hit 5 million viewers for the first time in a while last night. Got to be seen as a great number going up against the NCAA championship game.

Won't it make his opponents look bad when they punch him and he doesn't instantly go wobbly in the knees?

It'll be interesting to see how Brock goes over. His gimmick used to be a lot of his size and strength which he doesn't possess any more. Maybe he'll add some MMA style moves to his arsenal to put over his bad assness.

He's only working 2 dates a month, too, supposedly, so it'll be interesting to see how that plays out. He's not going to be on TV all the time.

(Which is okay, I think Rock was on too much before mania)

Rumor is that this is leading to Brock/Rock at mania 29.

Weak. Seen it....

he def needs to add muscle mass looking thin again

The streak of awesome raws ends after one week.

What, you don't like Stone Cold Will Sasso?

Unless I'm misreading spoilers, Danielson was not involved in the world title match at all, and it ended with Del Rio winning by DQ, so that means rematch.

Meanwhile, Danielson apparently talked, didn't wrestle at all, and broke up with AJ.

Not looking promising.

Just catching up, but I can't stop laughing. This guy...

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg27/...gif&res=medium

Just wait til his "YES!" shirt comes out & destorys Cena's hot garbage in merch sales.

They won't have much of a choice then.....

I used to watch wrestling a lot back in the day. I was mainly an ECW guy, but also like WWF when it was rolling. I probably stopped watching around 2006 or 2007.

It sounds like they are still making the same mistakes. This Danielson guy sounds like he's over and they are burying him. They used to be smart enough to listen.

It seems to me the less Shane got involved and the more Stephanie got involved the more it sucked.

Sounds like they had a good couple of shows, but I doubt they follow through.

After they ****ed up the ECW relaunch I was pretty much done. I would love them to have a product entertaining enough to watch again, but I'm not holding my breathe.

This reads a little better:They might be taking him out of the picture until after Extreme Rules since it's in Chicago, and that crowd's liable to be closer to last night's miami crowd than a normal wwe crowd.

More stuff:

I totally purchased that shirt. Mostly as a political act, to show WWE that I support AmDrag financially.

As soon as I get paid again, I'm buying the shit out of that shirt.

Anybody else see the sign that said: "Daniel Bryan=orgasm starter"?

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dXPT8qBM6Gs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

And they say he has no charisma.

Best part was the goodbye chant as she left. No matter what they try to make him do, he's getting over. In retrospect I think it's smart of them not to have him go against Sheamus in Chicago, because Sheamus would get booed out of the building again.

I plan on watching RAW for the first time in years this Monday night. I hope not to disappointed.

This may be a bad week for that. The ****ing Three Stooges remake idiots are guest hosting. I have a feeling there are going to be some awful skits.

With WWE, disappointment -- much like death -- is certain.

This Raw is so so blah

Can only imagine how disappointed/embarrassed someone watching this for the first time would be.

EDIT: And for the billionth time in a row, The Champ is gunna appear at 9:00....

Second EDIT: I friggin' love CM Punk. And Chris Jericho. This is getting good...

This show has been just as bad as I expected.

The opening of the show just killed me. Bring out Johnny and tie him to Brock. Bring out Brock so Cena will get cheered. Think it backfired, though, in that Brock made him look like a bitch in the scuffle and pull-apart. But for the 10984734298652367th time this is apparently all about getting Cena cheered. It's like they can't grasp the simple idea that people will tune in (and pay) to see Cena get his ass kicked.

The 3 Stooges stuff has been even worse than I thought it would be. Oh god, fake Hogan.

The Punk/Jericho stuff was great about 10 minutes into it when Jericho showed up on the tron, but Punk talked for way, way, way too long leading up to that. I say that as a big Punk fan. The rest was great, though.

CM Punk and Jericho get 9 o'clock.

Cena opens the show, and then has a main event match with David ****ing Otunga?

God I'm sick of this guy. We're talking like change-the-channel heat. That's how much I can't stand John Cena right now. And it's only going to get worse.

I got kinda caught up marking out for Punk-Jericho and considering how bad the rest of this show has been, I'm fine with him talking for a little too long.

I think Punk-Jericho is finally getting to the point it shoulda been before Mania.

Agreed. I'm getting so tired of this. He's the same stupid cornball character (see handshake attempt last week) as he's always been. Said last week he wanted to congratulate The Rock, then takes shots at him this week. Almost no character (or in-ring, for that matter) development in what, 6 years as THE guy?

**** it, I'll be back next week. I know it. But for now, I'm watching Royals-A's.


EDIT: And I know everyone marks out for Otunga & the coffee flask, but I think he's hot barney anus garbage.

second EDIT: Turned it back in time to see a replay of another Lesnar run-in & F5. Let's feel sorry for Cena for getting attacked by the big bad unstoppable monster from behind. Back to baseball.

I liked the run-in.

I hated Cena having to squash Otunga (who I also don't like) before it got to that point.

I'm actually okay with the angle they're taking here, of Lesnar just coming in to kick ass, and cut out all the skits and catch phrases, but Cena is just killing it (not in a good way). There's absolutely nothing babyface about Cena. He's a phony playing a character that caters to the children in the audience. No substance to him at all. They should start having him come out in Doink makeup.

I'm fine with the Lesnar angle, but it's a bit predictable thus far.

Cena-Otunga as the main event while Punk-Henry for the WWE Championship at 9:00 is a joke. Don't care what the story is or anything like that, especially considering that Punk's been on at 9:00 for the last 3 or 4 weeks (at least). Make it seem like the belt is important.

God I hate Cena. So much.

When they want the belt to be important again, they'll put it back on Cena.

Jesus this Raw was worse than I expected it to be.

Well... I'm really glad I tried to watch that. Goodbye WWE for the next 5 years of my life. Maybe we will meet again someday.

welp~

Ratings apparently were really bad last night. And they won't take it for what it is, which I think is people sick to death of John Cena, and people sick to death of bullshit like the Three Stooges.

Good. It's not like there was some big excuse (MNF, college bball, etc.) why people didn't watch. The show just sucked. Except for that damn cool Punk-Jericho segment.

I thought the stuff with Brock pummeling Cena was good, and I thought the blood was good, too, because Cena refuses to sell anything, so seeing him physically bloodied makes it look real. I thought the very end with the low blow and the F5 was good, too. Lesnar's promo toward the end was good, too, for what it was. Cena smiling as he's getting his ass kicked, trying to be all badass to a guy who could legitimately destroy him (I like to hit and be hit - come on now), just comes off as a joke, and it's why I hate that character. Lesnar needs to completely destroy him at the PPV in Chicago, and then he needs to take Punk's title sometime after that (they can, however, help legitimize Punk in that feud if they do it right). This all needs to lead towards Lesnar having the title going into mania next year, and Rock somehow taking it from him. That's the money angle for next year. Or if it isn't, it should be.

I don't expect it to go that way of course, and I expect them to completely kill Lesnar by turning him into yet another cartoon character on the show, the way they already started to do by putting him in Johnny Ace's stable. Having him wrestle already at Extreme Rules is every bit as stupid as having Rock wrestle at Summerslam.

Everything in between was rubbish, except for the match part of Punk/Henry and Jericho afterwards. Punk talked for too long beforehand, and the crowd shit all over him, so that wasn't good in my eyes. Santino, the Stooges, every other skit on the show: exactly what's wrong with WWE and why people tune out. At least people above the age of 5, or people without little kids.

"An old chicken makes good soup."-Booker T.

Piper's Pit with Bryan and AJ was maybe my favorite WWE segment since I started watching again last summer. Also yay, 2 out of 3 falls WHC rematch!

Edit: HAHAHAHA, BEST ENDING TO BEST SEGMENT

... oh god what is this nightmare.

p.s. marked out for dusty. marked harder for "if you weeeell."

This video just gets better with time:

Just remember, things could always be worse...

Actually... very boring. Bryan is boring.
