RAW 08/27/12 LD... Is Still An Unsafe Working Environment

[Planty]

@WWEJoshMathews:

The Superstars. Now due to gross acts of rage/anger I'm suppose to be intimidated? No one has the right to put their hands on me. Action must be taken by @WWEAJLee & @BookerT5x they are The GM's! This is an unsafe work environment. If I seem upset, it's b/c I am.

Jerry Lawler, WWE.com article:

It's a sad day when you can't have an opinion and speak your mind. CM Punk thinks he can speak his mind. He has an opinion that he is the best in the world and he has no problem with telling that to everybody. CM Punk and I obviously had a difference in opinion. He had a way of showing me what he thought about my opinion. I've been thinking a lot about it, and maybe this coming Monday night, I might show Punk what I think of his opinion.

@Matt_Striker_:

Judging by the mood around here RAW is shaping up to be pretty exciting. I cant speak for the commentary- but the ACTION'll b exciting.

Last year, almost the entire roster walked out on the man in charge due to an "Unsafe Working Environment".

Tonight, WWE Raw Episode 1005...

THE ANNOUNCE TEAM STRIKE BACK!

----

Also:


-After The Man of 1004 Holds was sent packing on the 1004th Raw by the Show Off, where will Dolph Ziggler's hair friz up next?!

-Yay for Babyface GM's! Despite Kane putting his hands on Josh Mathews, it's Daniel Bryan alone who apparently needs anger management. What does Miss Lee have in mind for WWE's resident "NO! Man".

-What's on Eve's mind?!.. And will it add an interesting to dynamic to the upcoming Kaitlyn/Layla bout?

-Will Punk choose to face Cena? Or will Yoshi Tatsu rise to the occasion?

-After Smackdown's backstage brawl and the overall tag team conundrum, will we have new #1 Contenders named? Or are we heading to a Tag Team Turmoil match at Night of Champions?

-Will we find out who challenges the midcard champions? And why can't I think of a snappy thing to say for this point?


All this and more on tonight's Monday Night Raw!

 

[Planty]

I apologize for the lack of graphics, and the overall lack of quality of the OP but with ten minutes to go, I assumed someone should make an LD of some form.

I'm looking forward to this, should be a good one!

 

[IHW]

Excited to say the least!

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

This early start time stuff is going to suck once classes start up.

 

[Planty]

This had better not lead to CM Punk vs. Lawler tonight.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Punk with the haircut.

 

[IHW]

Haircut!

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

I like his late 2010 heel haircut better.

Spoiler

 

[IHW]

WHERES TRENT????


Is that his head on a sign? Or someone else?

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Oh, TAG.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

So, uh, Punk sorta no longer walking that line between tweener and heel.

 

[Planty]

"Hey Punk...

I'll think about it."

As much as I wasn't looking forward to Punk vs. Lawler before, that was such an anti-climax finish to that line.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

He's still getting cheered....

 

[Planty]

Anyone else hear a bit of Swagger's theme and now have a black screen?

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

Well we know what kind of night it's going to be for Swagger.

 

[The Brain]

Damn this match is sloppy

 

[Vincent Michaels]

That botch could've been much worse.

 

[Bernkastel]

This match has more botches than an Alicia Fox match. Terrible.

 

[smizzy]

Ryback had a nip slip, ladies

 

[IHW]

I watched a few clips on the early days of The Miz on YT earlier. Its amazing how far he has come. Should be a good match tonight.

 

[Planty]

This match has more botches than an Alicia Fox match. Terrible.

But.. but.. Alicia Fox vs. Melina is the greatest match of all time

 

[HBK/RKO]

Who's fault would that botch be? Ryback for not throwing him up high enough or Swagger for not pushing off his shoulders and flipping?

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Swagger wasn't giving Ryback a lot of support in that match at all.

I'm actually quite impressed. WWE has a really hard time taking things slow when they need to, but Ryback has been built up really well. I remember seeing him live at Extreme Rules and even the CHicago crowd didn't really care. That was when he was first making televised appearances. Did you hear that "feed me more" chant? Despite many doubts, Ryback is actually getting over in the WWE.

If they keep this up for a few more months, and slowly bring him up the ladder, I would love to see a midcard title feud going into Survivor Series.

 

[Planty]

Cue commentary references about Natalya having back and forths with Kaitlyn on twitter all week..

(I wish it was THAT type of back and forth..)

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Ryback is the shit
