RAW January 5th, 2015 Live Discussion

[Prince Bálor]

I don't care if it's good or not. I'm watching for Booker T.

Legend!

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

So Booker T will be on commentary all night is that right?

Shucky Ducky Quack Quack.

And he'll hopefully replace Lawler permanently.

 

[CM Punk]

You know, I'll just watch RAW since I have no idea if my plans are still going on.

 

[Leo C]

Wait what? Booker is back on commentary?
Swear I'd watch live if I didn't have to wake up tomorrow, but now I'm watching every second of this tomorrow

 

[Roadster]

Is it sad that I'm more pumped to hear Book on commentary than the big angle that is supposedly planned for tonight?

 

[HBK 3:16]

Wait when did Booker get put back on commentary?

Don't know, today probably. lol

Lawler was hospitalized last week, here's to hoping Booker is a permanent replacement.

I knew Lawler was hospitalized, but I had assumed he was going to be back by Monday, oh well, Booker's a decent commentator and always a joy to listen too; so it should be a good night hopefully.

I'm perfectly fine with Book replacing Lawler's useless arse permanently.

Here's to hoping it ends up being a good night. I really liked the episode from last week. They should keep it up by producing another quality episode.

Same, Lawler's a legend and was a great commentator back in the day but he's past his prime; give him a good paycheck and a road agent/producer job and call it a day.

Hoping to it, I was pleasantly surprised by how good last week was, especially Seth's masterful heel performance, and I am very much looking forward to tonight; especially now that the Authority (who I love) are back. Which also means Sting may be back soon to set up the rumored Mania match, which should be good.

Sadly, considering WWE's track record; my expectations for the quality of tonight's episode are more along the lines of :meh: then :woohoo:

Agreed, Lawler used to be great back in the day, especially as a heel. But now, he has no business being nowhere near the announcer's table.

I was pleasantly surprised, too. I mean, the product has pretty much sucked post-Survivor Series. Glad they provided us with a quality episode last week.

Rollins playing Cena like a fool in order for his plan to come to fruition brought me joy, I love it now that The Authority's back!

Sting vs HHH at Mania definitely has to happen, I'd love that.

As far as my expectations go, I'd like to stay optimistic and keep thinking this episode could be a good follow up to the one from last week.

Yeah, Through i'm not going to blame the quality of his commentary declining entirely on him seeing how Vince scripts all three of them to death and shout things in their ear to say so much that they probably all give little care about their job anymore except in terms of merely keeping it, but Lawler's just seems to have been phoning it in to me since he got paired up with Cole in 2008; time to hang up the headset and enjoy the rest of his live. And allow us to remember the good memories.

Same, through part of me thinks they felt like they had too put on such a good show due to half the roster not being there and needing to fill up time with actual wrestling shit, but it was a good show nonetheless and I absolutely loved how Rollins played Cena like such a fool; it was a glorious sight to watch and I really think Seth's coming into his own as a heel. Sadistic and cunning, I absolutely love that sort of heel.

I hope it is a good episode too, but I am a pessimistic person by nature so I can't help but feel a little weary; but hopefully it is a good show nonetheless.

And agreed about Sting, no offense to Taker or anything but I have no attachment to the idea of the match and Sting/HHH already has the build; and I just think it would be a better match overall so I would prefer and love to see it on the grandest stage of them all.
