WWE RAW LD 12/5/2012 - I'm a Little Bit Country

[Harthan]

Son of a bitch. My stream went out during that whole thing, and it's the best segment of Raw.

I should have just gone. Goddamnit.

Quote from Ring of Honor: WrestleRave '03. June 28th, 2003 by Punk.

"Before you cut me off, the reason I hate you, the reason in my heart of hearts why I hate you, is I didn’t know any better when I was a little kid. When my dad came home smelling like beer. I thought it was a hard day’s work he was doing. I didn’t realize he was out at a bar. I didn’t realize ‘work’ meant ‘unemployment office.’ I didn’t think it was strange for someone to come home and take an Old Style up into the shower. I didn’t think it was strange for somebody to pass out. I thought an Old Style, a pack a day, was the norm. Raven, my father is exactly like you. Since day one of Ring of Honor, where fighting spirit is supposed to be revered, things aren’t supposed to be this way! I’d shake your hand like a normal man, but the thing is, I don’t respect you! I hate you! I hate you for everything you’ve pissed away! Everything I’ve scrapped and clawed for that I haven’t even earned yet! That you got handed to you and you flushed down the toilet! For what? For pills? For booze? For alcohol? For women? I’m born of your poison society. So, on the seventeenth of July, I will become a monster to fight the monsters of the world! Your time in Ring of Honor will be done. That is a promise. This is true! This is real! This is straight edge!"

I like it, it makes Punk vulnerable and, therefore, more beatable.

i hate it. Jericho is good enough to get heat on his own with out lowering himself to this cheap tactic

 

[KnowMyRole-ShutYourMouth]

Nice addition to Punk/Jericho. Finally, someone has gotten to him personally and there's no snarky rebuttal to what Jericho said.

Theo is probably the most total package executive in baseball today. He has the smarts, the savvy, the skill, everything necessary to create the right system. I have every confidence that he'll bring a title to the Cubs in roughly the same time frame he did it for Boston.

Mark Shapiro's every bit as good if not better. Being from Cleveland you should know better. He's just never had the luxury of an unlimited payroll. Theo's made some pretty bad FA acquisitions, but working in Boston means he has a shit load of room for error. It's like saying Brian Cashman is a better overall GM than Billy Beane.

I wonder if a MLB pitcher like Josh Johnson or Brian Patrick Wilson will play 2K12 and steal the $1 Million.

I agree that it has the potential to be very cheap (a la Jake Roberts v. Jerry Lawler), but I don't think it will be done in a way that's too unclassy. Unless Jericho physically pours Jack Daniels down Punk's throat, which I really don't think will happen.

No entrance for Swagger... I guess we know who is going over on this one lol

 

[The Bearded One]

Switch Punk with The Bearded One and that sounds like a dream come true.

Fair enough, but not every great move Epstein ever made was based on big money. Ortiz and Millar were both low cost and could have been acquired by the Indians reasonably. Shapiro was also a heartbeat away from getting Schilling in 2000, something that Epstein didn't fail to do when he had his oppurtunity.

I like how they're pushing the fact that Orton is looking over his shoulder for Kane. I doubt that Kane is going to come out without his pyro, but still, I like that Kane is in Orton's head. I wonder how they'll build this up over the next couple weeks, but it has gained my interest nonetheless.

Dear GOD, if that does happen I give up on WWE.

I just think it was good enough with them fighting over who the real best in the world is on top of being for the WWE title and this was 100% unneeded

 

[Harthan]

I just read what happened. Holy shit. They're using the same hook that took Punk vs Raven to a new level. This is a big deal.

 

[mr.ready]

This has been dissapointing.

 

[Rokitka]

Love how often King spews out "This has been a physical matchup"...you know, as opposed to a dance battle

 

[Tyrath]

Always weirds me out a bit when people call Swagger a former world champion. I know it happened, but meh.

I don't disagree, but I am enjoying the new layer of intrigue

If only they'd put Christian into that program instead of Show. Would have been completely different.

 

[Vincent Michaels]

Anybody remember when Swagger beat Orton relatively clean on PPV in 2010 to keep The World Title?

I miss those days.

 

[Peoples_Champ]

Fucking hell, Orton is crazy over.

 

[Tequila Dave]

Completely agree. Their feud doesn't need to be personal as the Best in the World premise is enough to sell tickets.

 

[GI Cake]

Christian is back? Fuck yes!

check it out on youtube tomorrow, it was an excellent promo. Shits getting personal.

 

[Dmbfantomas]

That's what Swagger really needs. People to work with him and teach him how to wrestle. Lots of talent, just needs to learn how to use it.
