Raw WWE RAW 6th January 2013 - LIVE Discussion - Old School

[Dale]

Old school
Old School Raw is always a treat, from the retro TitanTron to the parade of Legends, alumni and WWE Hall of Famers who drop by to say hello. Raw General Manager Brad Maddox let slip that we’re already getting WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, but who else will show? For reference, last year’s Old School Raw saw the return of The Undertaker, The New Age Outlaws and more.

One-on-one
Speaking of old-school, Stephanie McMahon opted out of frills and fancy stipulations when she set the rematch for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Royal Rumble. Randy Orton is set to defend his title against John Cena in a bout that will have no interference and can only be decided via pinfall or submission, just as the Hall of Famers did. Neither champion nor challenger was present at Raw last week to respond to the announcement. With both Superstars in the house this week, how will The Viper and Cena react?

Best in The Shield?
CM Punk continued his one-man mission to sow dissent among The Shield by demanding he face the faction’s “best” member and disqualifying United States Champion Dean Ambrose from contention right off the bat. His opponent ended up being Seth Rollins, but that was only because Maddox made an executive decision. Punk rounds out the trio by facing Roman Reigns this week. Can the big man do what his teammates could not and top The Best in the World?

Who'll stop the pain?
WWE COO Triple H shocked the WWE Universe by summoning Brock Lesnar from his sabbatical last week, but The Anomaly had a bigger surprise in store when he named himself the No. 1 contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, daring anyone who disagreed to step up and say so. Mark Henry took him up on that challenge and was summarily taken out. With Lesnar running wild, is there anyone in the locker room who could possibly stop him? More importantly, is there anyone with the guts to try?

Family ties
Bray Wyatt’s hard work paid off last week when Daniel Bryan finally agreed to join The Wyatt Family after suffering the clan’s latest 3-on-1 attack against him; an apparent act of solidarity against “the machine” that Wyatt opposes. The former WWE Champion’s whereabouts are currently unknown since he joined Wyatt’s fold, though it’s unlikely Bray will let another week go by without showing off his latest prize. What does the newly-extended Wyatt Family have in store? Tune in to Old School Raw on Monday, 8/7 CT on USA Network to find out.

Brian Christopher is at Raw apparently, so we're going to be seeing all 3 members of Too Cool together on WWE TV for the first time in however many years.

 

[AZUCAR!]

Just heard on PWI that Ron Simmons is expected to appear on Raw tonight. And also, there's a rumoured Piper's Pit with The Shield.

 

[ThatGuyFromNukemHigh]

Would love to see The Acolytes reunite even if just for a backstage segment, maybe even come out to "protect" Punk from The Shield.

Expecting a bunch of people to get in the ring for a dance competition(Too Cool, Woods/Truth, Fandango/Rae, Uso's)

Too bad Tista aint back til the 20th, would have been a great time for an Evolution reunion.

TOO COOL VS USOS FOR RIKISHI'S LOVE!!!!!!


DO IT!!!!!

 

[Chris]

Looking forward to this, but I doubt I watch it live.

 

[Tapout]

Oh shit, thats right, we did see Undertaker last year on Old School Raw. I would not mind seeing him interrupting Brock this week to set up a Mania program. They could run through the Rumble and the Chamber.

Old School Raws have always been good, and after the amazing show last week I am really looking forward to this.

I want to see Too Cool teach the Usos how to dance.

 

[Crippler]

Yeah cause this is hard to learn

 

[AZUCAR!]

Lawler won't be on Raw tonight:

WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler was taken from Raw to a local hospital in Baltimore, Maryland after taking ill this afternoon, reported www.memphisport.com, the website for Sports 560 AM in Memphis, TN.

The website noted Lawler began throwing up and showing other signs of illness and was taken to the hospital. Lawler had blood work done at the hospital and is awaiting the results.

The website noted that Lawler, "is now doing fine."

 

[Crippler]

Hope he's alright, and lets hope he takes this as a sign to retire now

 

[SAIYANS]

Wooooooooooo
