I was upset I was on the phone when Jake came out and couldnt mark out fully. Jaw did drop for a good while though.
I found it funny to think that they may have wanted the Ultimate Warrior in that same spot, as it would have seemed perfect for him. Run out, do his entrance, throw some blows, end of show.
Just a shame that with them having jake on raw then it kinda says he wont be in the rumble... Altho a hof induction is a good bet
I'd like to see him in the Rumble, but I don't like too many old timers in there. I know the roster is crap, but do we need to fill it with 60 year olds?
And, does anyone really think anyone other than Batista will win it?
I was hoping Daniel Bryan but it looks like hes distracted with the Wyatts.
Thanks Taker_2004 for the banner!
Well, I have kinda been MIA for a little while and I have not even watched any WWE or anything, so I guess I have to catch up on my RAW Thoughts... I have the last 3 RAW's recorded and am going to get through them, but am going to be using the fast forward button alot more as I cant be bothered watching them to be honest, but I dont want to fall behind to far on these posts....
RAW - Monday 23rd December
HOUR ONE
Oh, I forgot that this will be the Christmas episode, as The Authority come out wearing Santa hats, I am one of the biggest Scrooge's I know and hate Christmas, so I think I will be skipping alot of this show...
First match on the show is a 12 Diva Jingle Bells match... erm... it ended with Natalya making Auxanna tap with the sharpshooter, thats about all I watched of this match..
Sin Cara is up next taking on Curtis Axel, and as usual we still have the stupid Sin Cara dimmed lighting whenever he wrestles, I guess it helps him as he defeats Curtis Axel easily.
A Promo for Batista's return, and the most interesting thing I took from that promo was that any clips of commentary was from JR, I guess even WWE think he sounds better than Cole or King...
HOUR TWO
Up next its The Wyatt family vs Goldust and Cody and Daniel Bryan... still find it unbelievable how much they built up D-Bry to the point where his popularity was brinking on the verge of supersonic and then they drag him back down to earth and straight out of the title picture to try and use him to elevate a Triple H pet project in The Wyatts and killed all of his momentum in the process... Bray Wyatt picks up the win on Cody Rhodes...
Some kind of stupid sing off, fast forwarded right past it...
Summer Rae is out next with her valet and her valet is apparently taking on Dolph Ziggler.. and its apparently a present on a pole match... I cant see Fandanga getting a IC title shot, but if he does, then Ziggler is definitely ending the year at a low low point... What happened to the old fashioned pole matches where you retrieved a weapon then could use that weapon... I loved The Big Bossman vs Nailz with the Nightstick on a pole match haha... good memories... Well Dolph Ziggler is ending the year at a very low point, as he gets beat by Summer Rae's valet... how the mighty have fallen...
Prime Time Playaz vs The Uso's next... Usos win, but they end the hour with all 4 of them dancing kind of in the ring... all friendly n happy haha.
HOUR THREE
Now we have a Good Santa Henry vs a Bad Santa Sandow and Good Santa wins after almost chasing Sandow around arena with a fire extinguisher...
Rela Americans vs Los Matadors next and Los Matadors win apparently...
Kofi vs Boreback next and Boreback wins
The Shield vs John Cena, CM Punk and Big E Langston next.. and it ends with the Good guys standing in the win, after clearing out The Shield...
RAW - Monday 30th December 2013
HOUR ONE
The show starts off with CM Punk coming out to the ring, it better than starting off with The Authority i guess... He talks about it has not been his year and then kinda calls out The Shield... He tries playing mind games with them by saying that he wants to fight the best out of The Shield and calls Ambrose the weak link then Seth Rollins steps up and causes the rift with Reigns.... so the split begins.... The crowd are actually getting behind Roman Reigns and chanting his name until Brad Maddox comes out and kills the mood.
CM Punk vs Seth Rollin is made for now, and all storyline aside, a good match to end the year on... As expected this was a good match, and told a good story about a slight rift in The Shield, but overall, If thats the only match I see from this RAW, then it was a good show.
I knew it was too good to be true, I thought we had escaped with just a little backstage segment with The Authority, but then out comes Steph and introduces a video of Randy Orton...
Curtis Axel takes on Dolph Ziggler next and its Dolph Ziggler who actually gets a win.
HOUR TWO
Next its Summer Rae's valet getting a shot at Big E Langston's IC Title... should be an easy win for Big E... fast forward... I was right... but the big talking point is how hot Summer Rae looked... Big Smile
Damien Dansow vs Great Kahli next which was chosen by the WWE App apparently and Sandow will quit if he doesnt win... well, if he doesnt beat Kahli, he should quit... Sandow wins
Brodus Clay is defeated by R Truth next and it was a distraction from the Funkadactyles that helped him win..
HOUR THREE
Triple H is out next as he guarantees 2014 will be bigger n better than 2013 as he introduces back to the WWE.. Brock Lesner... Triple H shaking hands with Paul Heyman and then offers his hand to Brock who looks at Heyman and he nods saying he is the man who signs your cheques..
Paul Heyman tells us that Brocks' Mission statement in WWE is to become the World Heavyweight Champion and is now the self declared No.1 Contender who will face the winner of John Cena and Randy Orton. Brock Dares anyone to come down and tell him different... Out comes Mark Henry... Henry throwns Brock over the barricade and then Brock spears Henry back through the barriade before delivering a vicious F-5 to Henry... looks impressie except the girly high pitched squel coming from Lesner afterwards.
No D-Bry must run the gauntlet to get his hands on Bray Wyatt... and he defeats Luke Harper in a longer match than I expected... and now must tae on Rowan who just tosses D-Bry around outside for most of his match, delivering a further beating to D-Bry.. The beating continues in the ring but D-Bry gets the roll up and now gets to face Bray Wyatt... Harper and Rowan come in and start attacking D-Bry though and Bray gets on the mic and then gives it to D-Bry who stops the beating by saying Bray is always right... no matter how loud the fans cheered or how many matches he won, the machine would never let him win... and then D-Bry joins the Wyatts...
OLD SKOOL RAW - Monday 6th January 2014
HOUR ONE
Woooooo we start off the new year with The Nature Boy.. Ric Flair!!!! after his usual catchphrases, Randy Orton comes out and hugs Flair. Orton does the usual "Im the greatest" etc and then talks about Cena abit, moaning that he wasnt consulted on the match with Cena.. Flair calls him on his crying and then Orton calls Ric over-rated, words exchange and Ric doesnt back down from Orton until Cena comes out... Cena and Flair hug... Cena gets the cheers by defending Ric and then tells Randy, that if he is feeling Froggy, jump and prepares for a fight... Orton leaves.
The Wyatts are out next and D-Bry is dressed in a boiler suit and is a part of The Wyatts and its Rowan and Harper and D-Bry vs Uso's and Rey Rey... ends as D-Bry tags himself in to Rowans surprise then Harper tags himself in, dissaproving with D-Bry then The Usos pick up the win...
Backstage segment with the App vote being a special referee between Sandow and Kahli and the choices are Bob Backland, Arn Anderson or Sgt Slaughter..
Big E Langston vs Curtis Axel next and Big E easily wins..
HOUR TWO
Its a Pipers Pit with The Shield next... nice to hear Piper again and after Ambrose tries to out do Piper on the mic, he tells Ambrose that there is only 1 guy who can match him on the mic and its CM Punk which infuriates Ambrose... Piper continues to push for a crack in The Shield by talking about if Roman beats Punk tonight then he will be better than Seth and Abrose... CM Punk and DX run to the ring and save Piper from a beat down
ADR vs Sin Cara is next and another display of Sin Cara's annoying mood lighting... and after Sin Cara has defeated ADR twice before, this time, ADR makes very quick work of Sin Cara before he gets on the mic saying he will be eliminating Batista at the Royal Rumble and win the Rumble match..
Real Americans vs Cody and Goldust next.. Goldust picks up the win on Swagger, cant say am suprised though...
DDP Backstage with Booker T talking about Yoga when along comes Ron Simmons.. DAMN
The special referee for Sandow vs Kahli is Sgt Slaughter... Kahli wins after Slaughter didnt see Sandows foot on the ropes for the whole 3 count... then Sandow gets a Cobra Cluth for his trouble..
HOUR THREE
The Self proclaimed Number 1 contender and his advocate, Brock Lesner and Paul Heyman come out next... Heyman talks about Lesner challenging the winner of the Royal Rumble match between Cena and Orton... Talks about beating down Henry then out comes the worlds strongest man and Lesenr appears to break Henrys arm with a Khimura Lock... As Lesner is leaving, Big Show appear and Lesner retreats back to the ring... followed slowly by Big Show.. but when Show enters the ring, Lesner retreats. Lesner tries attackin Show from behind but Show catches him and show good strength as he tosses Lesner across the ring and to the outside...
3MB are out next as they are taking on Rikishi and Too Cool... Rikishi is alot bigger now and wears his leather pants and tshirt to wrestle in and he couldn't do much in the ring to be honest.... Scotty Too Hotty took most of the beating, but Too Cool and Rikishi get the win.
Mene Gene Oakland comes out and introduces The New Age Outlaws, they come down and do their usual catchphrase and then introduce CM Punk.. he comes The Shield for the match between Roman Reigns and CM Punk... NEar falls from both guys... Ambrose interupts slightly and then a spear by Reigns and he wins... They go for the triple power bomb.. then some old music hits..... its Jake!! Jake Roberts is here.... and looking awesome... haha Jake went to put the snaked down Ambrose pants and you heard CM Punk remind Jake that its a PG show haha.... Great to see Jake back even breifly...
