[Pay Per Ghost]

I like this Raw. London crowd is pretty awesome.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

Will Brock Lesnar be making an appearance tonight?

He should. Common misconception when it comes to Brock - he's not Rock. He doesn't have anything else going on. Outside of pro wrestling, he's no longer important. This is his job. He should be there as often as they need him.

Will John Cena gain some measure of revenge on Lesnar or even John Laurinaitis?

Probably not.

Will we witness a new WWE Champion?

No.

Will CM Punk be dounced in yet more booze?

One could only hope.

Will we be ready for more squahstastic fun?

Ryback? Fuck yes. Albert? I hope not.

Will the Funky Cobra's (Brodus & Santino) continue to roll on?

Oh, fuck yes.

Will we see some more fines for Sheamus?

Is being dropped back to the mid card something they'd go with? I hope so.

Will Extreme Rules begin to flesh out a little more?

99% WrestleMania rematches. I think we're already there.

Oh, and FunKay will be live at this edition of Raw!

Ohhh, shit!

 

[Cenation™]

Will Brock Lesnar be making an appearance tonight?
No, hes scared of taking an AA from John Cena so he'll keep away.

Will John Cena gain some measure of revenge on Lesnar or even John Laurinaitis?
Yeah he'll give John Laurinaitis an AA

Will we witness a new WWE Champion?
John Cena.

Will CM Punk be dounced in yet more booze?
He'll be led to drink by the time John Cena is done with him.

Will we be ready for more squahstastic fun?
Cena will squash David Otunga again.

Will the Funky Cobra's (Brodus & Santino) continue to roll on?
No

Will we see some more fines for Sheamus?
Yeah, it'll be damn 'fine' when Cena gives him an AA.

Will Extreme Rules begin to flesh out a little more?
Perhaps.

Old School Smackdown sucked badly.

 

[Cenation™]

Old School Smackdown sucked badly.

So does Brock Lesnar.

 

[Ming]

So does Brock Lesnar.

Many would disagree.

 

[The Champ]

Will Brock Lesnar be making an appearance tonight?

He should. Common misconception when it comes to Brock - he's not Rock. He doesn't have anything else going on. Outside of pro wrestling, he's no longer important. This is his job. He should be there as often as they need him.

Brock's whole deal is that he hates the travel. They're in England. No way does he show up tonight.

Brock's whole deal is that he hates the travel. They're in England. No way does he show up tonight.

He hated the day to day house show travelling schedule. He only has to show up for TV every monday and then he gets to go home again now...much different than it was originally. Also, going to Europe, especially if he takes Sable with him, could be seen as a working vacation, and thus might not count towards his "I hate the travel schedule" deal. I would call it 50/50 as to whether he shows up in person, and a 90% chance he at least appears via satellite.

 

[Y-2-Jay]

Got a friend who is at the taping and he told me the crowd are hot for tonight's RAW. He said its like the Miami crowd very Anti Cena and lots of YES chants.

 

[Blue Chipper]

What do you mean "taping"? It's not live this week, is it? Crap.

 

[Y-2-Jay]

What do you mean "taping"? It's not live this week, is it? Crap.

Nope its being taped right now.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Taped, done, delivered, enjoy.

 

[MattyB]

Cannot wait for this weeks raw, well I kinda can. What I'm figuring I'm gonna see is; Cena come back at Lesnar(But in the end Lesnar wins). Punk is gonna win through a jericho interference(as in Jericho misses a finisher intended for punk) and a bunch of filler matches with teddy long getting made fun of.

If all 3 happen ill be pretty happy, especially if teddy gets made fun of lol.

Also im figuring we are gonna see Rhodes losing at some point because of show. Making cody call for his rematch.

 

[Gregor_Samsa]

Punk at a pub apparently.

 

[The Man They Call WMD]

I just got that text from WWE

 

[Martin Gabriel]

Time for Raw!

 

[Vincent Michaels]

Henry getting the jobber entrance.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

WWE Championship on first?

Wow, ok

 

[Vincent Michaels]

Ah, so refreshing to hear a great crowd.

 

[Mr Mikey Mike]

Sexual chocolate chant wtf?

 

[PlayTheGame]

sexual chocolate chants, perfect.

 

[MattyB]

Sexual chocolate chant wtf?

you get it at every show when Henry wrestles

 

[Mr Mikey Mike]

That dive looked great.

 

[LamaNamaneumi]

I hope Jericho comes out with some wine coolers for Punk tonight.
