[quote name='neocisco']Why? They've realized that they spent money to go to Raw and they're calling someone to come rescue them from their horrible mistake.[/QUOTE]

I always imagine them like "yeah. Yeah. Nothing, what are you doing?"
 
I want Trish to have my secret too...

I've dreamed of her in that position many, many times...

Booker is gonna give Swagger the Hulk Hogan treatment.
 
I might as well get this out of the way now, if they don't have red, white and blue ropes at Capital Punishment, I'm gonna be ticked.
 
"Look at that idiot, the steering wheel's on the wrong side!"

Hey, anyone else remember when Del Rio won the Royal Rumble?
 
"Would you like to be United States champion some day?'

fucking amazing question, Michael Cole.

White Collar. Hello, Piper Perabo. I think I've mentioned this once or twice before.

Edit: White Collar? Covert Affairs.
 
[quote name='Chronis']^^Yeah, I was gonna say... something was wrong with that sentence[/QUOTE]

Hah, I'm a bit under the weather.

That was the Attitude-era Disturbed theme for Austin, though.
 
The TE stuff was basically 20 minutes of in-ring talking that resulted in Big Andy winning, THEN GETTING SLAPPED BY VINCE AND STUNNED BY AUSTIN. And he sold the slap more than the stunner. Night 1 and the guy's already portrayed as a loser ON A NIGHT WHEN HE WON. They couldn't just have a feel-good moment. However, Truth in confederate gear was hilarious, as was his promo, and he felt like he belonged in there with both Vince and Austin. Ditto Miz, and even Riley. Austin giving Cena a "you can't see me" was amusing. Santino's match was a blend of comedy and McChinlocks, so yeah, not a good choice for a Raw opener. Then there was a women's match that was basically nothing. Loved Booker, Trish, and Swagger's deal, and Punk's promo being interrupted by King saying he sure gets tired quickly as he sat down was glorious. Rey-Punk's match was their usual good stuff. There's no way these guys can have a bad match and they seemed to be building this up as a series to...I guess give Punk something that'll be good, but not too important, if he leaves.

The Truth Obama press conference was hilarious. LITTLE JIMMY GOT A BOAT, I DON'T GOT A BOAT! Now I just hope they don't run it into the ground and air it five billion times. Loved the Nitro set plug since I'd completely forgotten about it. Didn't so much love the WWE All-Stars night next week, coming six days before a PPV where...everyone from both brands will be there...yeah... So the PPV is now more dead than it was before. Loved the Kofi vid, although doing another annual stop and start push for the guy won't help him much. Dolph was AWESOME on commentary. He put himself, Vickie, Kofi, AND Ryder over huge on commentary. He's been bad behind the mic before, but he brought the goods here. Booker-Swagger was...something. Booker looked fantastic. He doesn't look or move like someone in his mid-40s, and I think that's probably due to him having a couple of years away off as far as doing regular in-ring work. The match itself seemed to be a backdrop to either help Bourne get over by beating up Swagger, aligning himself with Booker as an ally/partner, or both. Didn't see anything positive about this for Swagger.

The main event was just annoying. Riley got over huge with the crowd - he was the ONE thing they cared about since they already shot their Austin/Cena wad early. Cena did THE worst dropkick of his career, barely hitting Truth's ribs, and then they killed the briefcase gimmick dead with it being the first part in a chain of finishers to Miz, and THEN re-did the chain of finishers to Cole, who took a worse stunner than Linda, but took a great FU from Cena who did it while holding a beer. Oh, and the GM gave up his power for some reason, for next week's show, to Austin. Unless it comes out that it's Foley, there's really no logical solution for the Raw GM. At least his character's nuts. Also, they're really overdoing it with Austin. If he wants to do a big match at some point, great, but having him come out and do the same stuff he's done for basically eight years since retiring without any real change is a bit much.

VINTAGE SKY LOW LOW!




Riley appears to be on the Hogan diet.




PG - Love Vince


Quotes -

Vince - IT’S 9 O CLOCK AND WE’RE ON RAW. I’m gonna determine which one of you is gonna take a hike. So in my opinion…WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME THAT WAY!?
Austin - Did you say you were gonna pick!?
Vince - I’M THE CHAIRMAN OF THE WWE AND I MAKE THE BIG DECISIONS!
Austin - I DON’T CARE IF YOU’RE THE CHAIRMAN, YOU’RE WEARING THAT BULLSHIT SUIT AND I’M GONNA PICK THE WINNER, NOT YOU! DID I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!?
Vince - You wanna make a YOU KNOW WHAT out of yourself, go ahead? IF I WAS DOING THIS, I’D HAVE A DRUMROLL!
Austin - You’re a dumb sumbitch, but that’s a good idea.
Crowd - ANDY! ANDY! ANDY!
Austin - AND THE WINNER OF TOUGH ENOUGH, BECAUSE I SAID SO… BIG ANDY!
Austin - With your new employee, would you like to welcome this man aboard the WWE ship?
Vince - WELCOME TO THE WWE! (slaps him)
Austin - WELCOME TO THE WWE YOU SON OF A BITCH!
R-Truth - LITTLE JIMMY COME MARCHING HOME!
Vince - Let’s show everyone why you need to apologize.
Truth - THANK YOU MISTER MACMAN! I’m sorry to Big Jimmy, Little Jimmy. I’m sorry to the soda - it was refreshing! I’m sorry, I’m sorry.
Austin - You oughtta be sorry about dressing up like a damn jackass.
Truth - I did my homework. I know where I’M AT. I’M IN RICHMOND, VA! THE CAPITAL OF THE CONFEDERACY! This is where Davis, Lee, and a bunch of other inbred rednecks like all of you - DON’T BOO ME, YA SHOULD BE BOOING YASELVES! This is where they formed the confederate states of America.
Austin - THAT WAS 150 YEARS AGO, WHAT’S THAT GOT TO DO WITH TODAY!?
Truth - Nothing good ever came out of the South, but the confederacy had one good idea - secession! They secceeded from the U.S., so tonight, I’m seceding from the DUBYA DUBYA E UNIVERSE! I’ll keep the title match - but everything else, I don’t want. Ya won’t have R-Truth at push around no mo. NO FIGURES, NO SHIRTS, NO VIDEO GAMES, NO NOTHING. I BEEN A VICTIM OF A COMPANY-WIDE CONSPIRACY. AIN’T THAT RIGHT, MR MACMAN!
Vince - Lemme tell ya something R. That is your first name, correct?
Truth - Correct.
Vince - How do you spell that Arrrr!? Maybe you should’ve been a pirate instead of a rapper. You know my office hours 7 AM to midnight - 7 days a week. Conspiracy, huh…
Truth - C-O-N…
Vince - Well, you spelled secession!
Miz - Really!? REALLY!? YOU’VE GOT THE CHAIRMAN OUT HERE AND YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR MADE-UP CONSPIRACY!? IF IT WASN’T FOR MY IDIOTIC EX-PROTÉGÉ, ALEX RILEY, I WOULD STILL BE WWE CHAMPION! THE PAST 2 WEEKS OF CHEAP SHOTS FROM THAT NOBODY DOESN’T TAKE AWAY THE FACT THAT I’M THE MOST MUST-SEE CHAMPION IN WWE HISTORY! AND I KNOW AND EVERYONE ELSE KNOW STHAT I DESERVE ONE LAST TITLE MATCH!
Riley - Miz, the only thing you deserve is a third straight week of beatdowns! (Cena comes out)
Cena - WAIT, HOLD ON! I KNOW! A lot has happened, so I’ll give you a recap. Mr. McMahon is out of patience, Miz is out of excuses, Austin’s almost out of beer and R-Truth’s out of his mind. Miz, not only did you lose to me, but I made you say I Quit - repeatedly. I’m no GM, but you’ll not get a title shot. STOP THE JACKWAGON AND GET OVER YOURSELF. A-Ri, I don’t like you, or trust you, but you have showed that you have a set and hit this human piece of garbage in the face. I commend you. Truth…where do I start. Where did you get that? Nah, when I take this in…I see a guy who has it together. THERE’S NO WAY THAT NO ONE WHO LOOKS LIKE YOU HAS ANY SORT OF MENTAL ISSUE. TAKE THE RIDICULOUS OUTFIT OFF, YOU GOT YOUR MATCH IN D.C. AGAINST ME! KENTUCKY LONGRIFLE, WHAT IS THAT!? AN E-MAIL!
Cole - AND I QUOTE!
Vince - MICHAEL COLE, SHUT UP! I’VE GOT THIS ONE! This is a special Raw, how about for a main event, we see a tag match of Truth and Miz against Riley and CENA! And just one other thing - the referee is STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!
(after an atomic drop)Santino - THAT’S WHAT I THINK ABOUT YOU!
Cole - LAST SUPPER’S…Summer’s #1 show, Covert Affairs is back!
King - Raw’s the #1 show - that’s the number 1 NEW show.
Cole - The Bellas said that what we said was what everyone said, including JR - SHE’S A BIG GIRL AND CAN TAKE IT!
King - Let’s leave J.R. out of this - he didn’t mean what he said.
Cole - WWE HAS MORE THAN 30 MILLION FANS! On facebook.
Booker - I want you to have it…THE TRISHAROONI! NOW YA GOTTA GET DOWN ON ONE KNEE, PUT THE HAND UP, FEEL THE ELECTRICITY!
Swagger - Book you’re looking at me…but you’re not tough enough. I’M AN ALL-AMERICAN AMERICAN. If ya think ya still got it…
Booker -T ELL ME HE DIDN’T JUST SAY THAT!? I ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE! LEMME TELL YA SOMETHING, WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER, YOU WON’T BE DOING A VICTORY LAP, YOU’LL BE ASKING YOURSELF ONE QUESTION!?
Swagger - What?
Booker - CAN YOU DIG IT, SUCKA!?
(as Punk walks out and sits on the ramp)King - Punk gets tired quickly.
Punk - Last week, I defeated Rey. Bringing the grand total I’ve beaten him to well over 600, and he’s never beaten me, so he moaned, got his rematch, and I graciously granted him. AND I’LL DEFEANT HIM, NOT FOR MY OWN EGO, BUT TO PROVE THAT THE POWER OF MY NEW NEXUS IS UNYIELDING. Join me in dismantling Rey Mysterio!
Cole - To bring some JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY TO THIS SHOW, I’ll say that CM Punk hasn’t beaten Rey 600 times.
Cole - Mason Ryan’s a sponge - absorbing everything Punk is doing.
King - Imagine if President Obama had a press conference about Capital Punishment - and if he told the truth for once?
Truth - Mr. President, what if I told you I never got a title match because of a conspiracy?
Obama - You’d be irritated, and rightfully so.
Truth - LITTLE JIMMY GOT A BOAT, I DON’T GOT A BOAT, AND YOU’D PROBABLY TRY TO PUSH ME OUT THE BOAT!
Alberto - MY NAME IS ALBERTO DEL RIO! BUT OF COURSE, you already know that. There’s a word in America to describe what I’ve been hearing -t hat word is slander. The WWE Universe is saying I’m a hit and run coward. But people, for the last time, THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT! And if you don’t believe, here it is for you, AGAIN! See? ACCIDENT. That’s why I want the Big Show to come out right here, right now, so I can apologize to him! BIG SHOW!? YOU’RE AFRAID OF ME! C’mon, Big Show, it’s not like I’m gonna run you over with my car - see, it’s way, way back there!
Cole - HE SHRUNK!
King - You know who that goof is…
Cole - IT’S BIG SHOW!
Alberto - I’m glad you decided to show up. That was an accident, but aren’t the crutches too much!?
Ricardshow - AAAAGGHHHH!
Alberto - I said you were responsible for damaging my card, and this is your way to avoid paying for the damage.
Ricardshow - AGGGGHHH!
Alberto - So you want to settle? What’s in your mind?
Ricardshow - AGGGHHH!
Alberto - I LOVE IT. IF I GIVE YOU A DOZEN OF DONUTS, A LOT OF CANDIES, YOU’LL DROP THE CHARGES!? But my answer is no - you got what you deserved. Bad things happen to bad people…so I’m gonna give you advice - go home, lick your wounds, and never, ever disrespect me again. Oh, and one more thing - Big Show, don’t make me your enemy, because if you do, you WILL get hurt! And that’s not a threat - THAT’S A PROMISE, because remember, bad things happen to bad people!
Ricardo - ALBERTO DEL RIO! AALLLLBEERRRRRTOOOO DEELLLLLLL RRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Cole - Dolph, you tweeted @heelziggler today that you’d be doing commentary.
Dolph - And looking at this match with Long Island Iced Z - the Youtube sensation.
Dolph - I’d rather watch Spider-Man the Musical than look at Kofi’s trunks - they were obviously designed by a blind kid.
Cole - It’s Kofi against Zack Ziggler - LONG ISLAND ICED Z!
King - Vickie, you’re like Paris Hilton without the talent.
Vickie - King, you’re full of bitterness. How sad.
Dolph - Zack, between you tube shows, has been scouting Kofi.
Cole - What’s Z: The True Long Island story about?
Dolph - It’s just him living his life.
Dolph - SEND! TWEET! HEELZIGGLER!
King - YOU CAN’T TWEET YOURSELF TO VICTORY!
Dolph - King, you’d love it - they have twitter on computers now. It’s the newest thing.
(after chops)Cole - VINTAGE BOOKER T!
Crowd - WOOO!
Sign - Ebony and Ivory.
Cole - THE SPINAROONI IS GOOFY!
Cole - AUSTIN WAS AN ENTERTAINER HERE IN WWE AND SET RECORDS WITH PAY-PER-VIEW AND MERCHANDISE. UNLESS THIS MAN, THE MIZ, SUPPLANTS STONE COLD!
Cole - Alex Riley’s been nothing but a…SELFISH!
King - Truth came out here in a confederate uniform and looked like something out of F-Troop!
Crowd - LET’S GO RILEY!
Cole - AND I QUOTE! The referee has overstepped his authority! THEREFORE, JOHN CENA AND RILEY HAVE BEEN DISQUALIFIED! AND THE WINNERS OF THE MATCH ARE THE MIZ AND R-TRUTH! AND I QUOTE, MR. AUSTIN, BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHING YOU MIGHT REGRET, ON THE 3-HOUR WWE ALL STAR NIGHT, I’M APPOINTING YOU AS THE GUEST GM!
Austin - Now that you’ve got the official B.S. out of the way, if you want Stone Cold to be the GM next week, gimme a hell yeah! IF YER READY FOR RAW NEXT WEEK, GIMME A HELL YEAH! MICHAEL COLE, YA MEALY MOUTHED BASTARD, I’LL SEE YA NEXT WEEK ON RAW!
 
fuck

The Miz suffered a leg injury during a match against John Cena that took place following last night's live Raw telecast in Richmond, Virginia.

The injury occurred when Cena threw The Miz out of the ring, as he landed awkwardly on his leg. He was then carried to the back by paramedics.

Cena showed concern as The Miz was led away and the match ended without an announced finish. He then thanked the fans for attending the event.

Usually when a guy is reported as 'injured' it means either A) they have a legitimate medical issue they're gonna take time off to have work done on/recup from OR B) a swerve, so they can come outta the crowd or out from under the ring at X or Y PPV in a month n attack the person who 'injured' them.
 
maybe just a knee stinger? If you've ever had one of those, it feels like you just blew all the ligaments in your knee but upon inspection everything is fine. They feel really weird but don't hurt all that much. Could be that he had one of those and your first inclination is to think ACL/PCL/MCL/whatever the other one is CL injury.
 
Frankly I'm shocked and disappointed that there isn't much Zack Ryder hype here about him being on RAW last night.

Was it during the main event? Because there was no dark match afterwards.
 
can't recall, he was being "supported" up the ramp but who knows if it was legit or not.

more or less the same thing happened to me playing hockey once. My skate hit a rut and kept moving when I tried to bring it back. It wasn't quite a hyper-extension as that implies ligament damage, but very similar.
If it was an impact wound instead of a goofy movement type wound, it might just be a small bit of bursitis or a cartledge tear which isn't anywhere near as serious as a ligament tear which takes far too long to recover from.
 
WCW Nitro DVD set is out today. Anyone pick it up? Thoughts?

I completely forgot it was coming out today, so I won't be able to pick it up until I get paid next week. Bleh.
 
Ryder vs Kofi, and because Kofi is not a squash type guy the match had a decent length. I laughed at Michael Cole accidentally calling him Zack Ziggler at the beginning of the match.
 
Hulk Hogan's on G4 right now promoting Hulk Hogan's Main Event

..brother

/e: well, that was brief. He basically said you'll have to act like a star from the moment you step out of the locker room, "practice moves", and there's steel chairs and brass knuckles.

Loving the Nitro DVD set so far..

Hosted by DDP!!!!

Was shocked to hear Hogans wcw theme .. thought hogan/jimmy hart owned the rights to it

Any footage shown on that Hogan kinect game?
 
Surreal moment of the day - Watching the WCW Nitro DVD. During the third match on the first disc (Flair and Arn Anderson vs. Hogan and Savage), the match descends into a brawl at the end and who do I see fighting on the outside but Crispin Wah and Kevin Sullivan.

I'm maybe an hour into the set so far and it's pretty awesome. The screen is devoid of any WWE logos and early on, Nitro was very, very hot.
 
Honestly, the most grating thing thus far has been Bischoff and Mongo's commentary. I get it, you guys are WCW employees, you don't need to remind me about how cool WCW is with every sentence.

That said, it's sort of endearing to hear how genuinely excited they are. Oh the things they didn't know in 1996.

Some of the entrances are abbreviated or missing. For example, during the main event of the first Nitro (Hogan vs. Bubba Rogers), you see Hogan's entrance but it doesn't show Bubba's. (although now that I think about it, that could've been during a commercial so maybe it is untouched)

I'm still only maybe halfway through disc one but overall, not much to complain about. The Nitro theme music is all over the very beginning, before DDP starts introducing the DVD, it wasn't the exact same opening from the golden years of Nitro (96 into 98 I'd say) but it felt very similar and even ended with the flames going to the Nitro logo and exploding, very cool to see back on TV as opposed to Youtube.
 
Yea.. youd figure the nitro theme would be the main menu theme as well...

Whats up with the generic menu music

Also the Roadwarriors entrance sounded odd.. perhaps an edit?
 
Cause of death for Macho Man has been revealed:

Former WWF and WCW World champion Randy Savage died from a condition known as ventricular fibrillation, according to his brother Lanny Poffo. Poffo made the announcement during an interview with Florida's Bright House Sports Network.
Ventricular Firbrillation is an abnormal heart arrhythmia, an uncontrolled twitching of the heart that prevents the heart from pumping blood. The condition is considered a cause of both fainting or heart attacks.

Poffo also praised Savage's widow Lynn, commenting, "Randy's foot was still on the accelerator. She reached over and steered the Jeep Wrangler into a tree, saving the live of a motorcyclist and possibly a bus. You know, there's no telling what can happen when you're going the wrong way."

Cant believe it's already been 3 weeks.
 
So I have not watched NXT since it went off of TV back in the Diva's season, but morbid curiosity made me watch last nights episode on youtube.

Remember on Draft night when we were joking that all the black guys in WWE are going to heel turn? Well its time to add JTG to that list.
 
I'm still in shock that JTG hasn't turned unemployed.

Speaking of which, we never really got the standard post-Mania slash and burn, did we?
 
When John Morrison got hurt Vince and company went into panic mode. They initiated the WWE Draft ahead of schedule and postponed all layoffs. Maybe they will trim the fat when Morrison returns. He's only out for 4 months or something short.
 
I was just at Walmart looking to buy the Nitro DVD set, and couldn't find it anywhere. I did, however, locate the Randy Savage 3-disc set for $10. I didn't buy it, as I only have expendable income at the moment to buy one or the other. Just figured I would throw that out there for anyone interested in the set.

Edit: Apparently Walmart.com has it for $9.00, but it's out of stock.
