Live Discussion: Raw 1/4/2010

[Turd Ferguson]

I get that Cena isn't there tonight, but this is the best they can do?

Kofi's tied up with Orton, MVP and Mark already wrestled, as did DX.

Evan's like 7th on the face pecking order.

And holy shit, I thought Evan won there for a sec.

 

[Serious Mozzarella]

What if Bourne wins?

 

[Theo Mays]

I don't care if yall don't want Bourne to win, I almost marked out hard after that SSP. Shame Sheamus will put the kaybash on this.

 

[Slyfox696]

Okay, I don't understand this.

You have Bret Hart be the Guest Host after over a decade of build-up...and you barely put him on TV?

 

[RageBattle]

Sheamus needs momentum. Like anything.

 

[The Champ]

Why were they chanting "Cena" while the match was still going on?

 

[krispix]

Squish. Back to the lockers Evan.

 

[CamaroIroc]

What if Bourne wins?

Sadly, tis not to be.

One of the most naturally talented wrestlers in the company in the last 10 years is relegated to "Jobber to the Stars"

 

[Slyfox696]

Why were they chanting "Cena" while the match was still going on?

You always chant for the hero, when his main villain is around.

It's wrestling 101.

 

[IrishCanadian25]

Between Miz's new music, Sheamus' music, Bourne's music, and Bret's remix - it's time for a new WWE CD.

 

[klunderbunker]

Applause for this.

It's build up. The McMahon / Hart confrontation has a massive TNA main event to go up against.

 

[CamaroIroc]

Yeah that bugs me, but I can imagine McMahon doesnt actually want to give Hart much face time.

Vince is a petty, vindicitive sonofabitch, and he seems to hold grudges for YEARS and years..

Hes just using Hart for ratings.

 

[Mr. TM]

Well this proves one thing, WWE isnt going for all their shots tonight, they continue to build up Sheamus, nothing to complain about.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Also, I love Sheamus's no-nonsense "I'm going to beat the shit out of you. Let's go." promos.

And classy tribute to Steve Williams. I just wish they found time to do the same thing with Eddie Fatu last month.

 

[Theo Mays]

Applause for this.

x2. Kudos on the WWE's part. You think JR pushes for him to go into the HOF 2010 class?

 

[CamaroIroc]

This Taco Bell commercial annoys me.. there isnt a SINGLE Taco Bell that has employees that hot.

False advertising.

 

[Mr. TM]

RIP Dr. Death.

Nice to see the tribute.

 

[Loveless]

It's possible that Bourne asking for his shot will be the start of the lockerroom revolt that's been hinted at for weeks. If that's the case I'd be looking at Dibiase quite closely.

 

[klunderbunker]

Well this proves one thing, WWE isnt going for all their shots tonight, they continue to build up Sheamus, nothing to complain about.

And that's good. TNA isn't going to trump what they've done tonight for awhile. When they're slipping a bit, WWE can pounce.

 

[Ambiguous Turd]

Why is anyone honestly surprised they haven't seen Bret Hart all that much tonight, or didn't get anything else out of Raw tonight. You buy it from Vince hook, line, and sinker every single time .. while TNA is putting on one Hell of a show tonight with tons of surprises.

 

[Slyfox696]

And classy tribute to Steve Williams.

A classy tribute to a man with no class.

Anyone see the irony?

 

[klunderbunker]

It hasn't been that great Sid. It's all flash and twists with little substance or in ring work to back it up.

 

[Shazam!]

raw seems pretty normal tonight aside from bret harts return.

It is and it should be. They don't have to directly compete with TNA after tonight. Why blow everything you've got on a show that's going to give you one somewhat weak rating?
