Live Discussion: Raw 1/19/09

[C.M.]

Contract signing
As Stephanie McMahon alluded to last Monday, World Heavyweight Champion John Cena and JBL seal their fates on Raw as The Champ and the challenger sign the contract for their title bout, days before the Royal Rumble. Will HBK be present, one week after felling Cena?

A definitive fight
Both times CM Punk has faced Intercontinental Champion William Regal, the matches have ended in disqualifications. To ensure that their next bout ends with a satisfactory finish, Stephanie McMahon decreed that the two will face one another in a No Disqualification Match on Raw

School of Hard Knox
Though Mike Knox has yet to give a reason for his attacks, it hasn't stopped him from assaulting Rey Mysterio numerous times in recent weeks. The Ultimate Underdog will get his chance for revenge as the two ring warriors face off on Raw.

Am I the only one pumped for Vince's return?

No way man im with you all the way i just hope his return is done well.

 

[OIL]

Hopefully it will be.

A nice father - daughter fued would be lovely.

 

[justinsayne]

A JBL/Cena contract signing really?!?, hopefully they do it at the beginning of the show and get it out of the way early, so I don't have to sit through it

 

[Miko]

Vince hasnt even come back yet and I am sick of him already.

 

[Thriller Ant]

I'm so excited for this Raw. I'm going and it's my first ever live event

 

[Harthan]

So Vince returns...I can more or less guarantee he'll sign Jericho back, as I know that the post show dark match on Raw next week is Cena/Jericho in a Street Fight, it's been advertised post-Jericho firing, so I'm fairly sure it's still happening.

Punk should win the title tonight. With all apologies to Regal, the title ought to be on a young guy like CM Punk who will hopefully do something good for the title. I'm looking to the match itself, as well.

Contract signing, well. It's good filler, I guess.

Knox/Mysterio threatens to suck, but I'll withhold judgment until I've seen it. At least Knox is getting TV time.

I agree...I hear this is gonna be historic...Overhyping leads to disappointment...lol

 

[tehblogger]

Vince sucks. But he'll bring back Jericho, I guess. Mysterio and Knox will surely be crap, as Mysterio's moveset just looks awful on a guy that big. Contract signing, meh.

But Punk and Regal could be excellent. It's No DQ, so here's to hoping they get out some really nasty weapons. In the brief exchanges between these two so far it's been really good. I'm a Regal mark, so with luck he'll retain after Layla takes out Punk with a baseball bat or something, setting up a cage match at the Rumble in which Punk wins.

 

[Miko]

It's not just that, I mean the guys been boring as hell the last 5 years or so.

 

[Rusty]

I agree. All Vince does on TV is hog up 20 minutes on the show.

Why do I care about a 60 year old guy when I want to see the new guys develop? Don't be suprised if we see a 20 minute Vince promo every week on Raw now.

 

[Lee]

Vince Is Back!!!

Mtfo =)

 

[Afro-Ameri-Spawn]

Am I the only one pumped for Vince's return?

Yes, you are. You apparently like seeing his bare ass in those thong underwear he wears when he is gearing up to get kissed. lol

 

[OIL]

Yes, you are. You apparently like seeing his bare ass in those thong underwear he wears when he is gearing up to get kissed. lol

At what point did I specify that?

You err, need to think of some new material, because that was lame.

 

[Spunky]

I'm looking forward to Raw, I want to see if there is any fall out to "the accident".

I also like how the Mike Knox, And Rey angle is panning out.

Until another giant dollar bill falls on him again.

 

[Spunky]

Until another giant dollar bill falls on him again.

Or a rigged car goes up in flames.

 

[Murfish]

I'm in on this.

 

[CDR]

Great. An hour before the show and the order's already fucked up.

 

[Khalifa]

Hopefully it will be.

A nice father - daughter fued would be lovely.

It wasn't last time.

 

[klunderbunker]

I forgot he was back tonight.

 

[Tastycles]

Do you think they'll bother with a whodunnit angle? Or will we just ignore the fact that Vince was crushed

 

[klunderbunker]

I think that just answered your question on that.

 

[Murfish]

It feels so good to be rid of Million Dollar Mania.
