Official Raw discussion thread

I wasn't surprised Vince made an appearance on Raw tonight. Especially since they had to sort this situation out before WWE tapes Raw later this week in Mexico for next week.

Laurinaitis as Interim GM is a pretty good move. As it's been a while since there's been a heel GM. I was thinking Foley was going to appear as GM when Vince mentioned the GM word before Interim GM.

And I was wondering what WWE would do with Punk for the PPV before Truth and Miz came back since Cena has yet another title shot (*yawn*) but i'm looking forward to seeing Punk & HHH as a Tag Team at Vengeance.

punk and hhh a team phx must be hard

lol should be pretty awesome to see, Wonder if Nash will be back though to interfere in that match.

 

[AZUCAR!]

I read somewhere a few weeks back that Nash was meant to be apart of Vengeance somehow. Laurinaitis does keep using his phone texting someone (one would assume it's Nash) so perhaps Nash returns at Vengeance and costs Punk & HHH the match

Decent Raw but when you have two matches such as Sheamus/Cena and Punk/Del Rio not get endings it hurts a lot. I liked how the show opened, HHH was really going to try to run Raw with what about 4 guys... Genius. The fallout after that made it seem like nothing happened besides Christian/Morrison fighting in street clothes I guess but you'd have to believe that match was a big deal in the first place.

Anyways, I'm glad Triple H is still a big part of Raw despite everything.

Really enjoyed RAW, but there was 2 things I would have done differently. Firstly they've been building up this whole walking out angle and protesting in the parking lot, yet not once throughout the night did we see any of that, it's as if it never even happened. Could they have not opened up the show with the cameras in the parking lot, even if it just showed them outside socialising and then cut to the HHH stuff? Secondaly was Vince being there, but that's just my person preference. I don't really enjoy Vince anymore as he's come back and turned christ knows how many times and I honestly think his pops now are subdued at best and that promo would have been better had Vince not been involved at all but instead Johnny Ace.

- The firing of Jim Ross by John Laurinaitis on last night's RAW Supershow was not in the final script and most people backstage had no idea that it was going to happen.

It's also believed Ross didn't know about the angle either. It was noted that JR's wife could be seen at ringside, looking excited as he entered the ring for the segment.

Ross told a fan on Twitter today that it was embarrassing for his wife and that they both were "blindsided."

Regarding last night's show, it's said that what ended up airing was almost nowhere near what was originally wrote. Everything on last night's show was re-written more than once.

Sure he'll get his job back once whoever the real coo or w/e shows up.

One thing I did notice was Ross seemed to be prepared for the entire evening. He had a notebook that he made sure to go back and grab before exiting. At least WWE made it look like Ross was intended to be apart of the entire broadcast after Johnny Ace took over.

Also, Triple H is still the C.O.O. he was just relieved of his duties on Raw(and SmackDown!) at least that is the way they made it come across. Michael Cole I think also mentioned that fact later in the show.

I reckon JR didn't know anything was going to happen, but he somewhat expected it to happen, especially considering where it was too.

The lack of respect WWE shows Ross in Oklahoma is astounding.
