WWE RAW 8th August 2011 - LIVE Discussion

[Andrew]

The Miz is heading down to the ring, looks like promo time.

Really gutted we didn't get this match at all

 

[Troy]

Nice Miz attacks Mysterio on the ramp. Glad that there wasn't a match since now it can be booked for SummerSlam.

Cole coming to the ring to interview Miz.

 

[Andrew]

The Miz is complaining about not being booked for Summerslam. This is going to be a good promo, something different for once.

 

[Troy]

Miz said he did it because the emphasis is on the WWE championship and nothing else. Says that he wants attention and wants a match at SummerSlam.

Expect HHH to come out.

 

[Keith]

Miz expressing his anger at not having being on the Summerslam card, liking this so far.

 

[Andrew]

Miz demands a referee to come out and announce him the winner, the referee tells Justin Roberts that Miz will face someone else and it is... Kofi Kingston!

 

[Troy]

HHH doesn't come out but books a new match for The Miz.

His new opponent is Kofi Kingston who gets a good reaction from the fans.

 

[Keith]

Kofi replaces Rey for the match tonight nice!

 

[Andrew]

Looks like WWE's statistics are spot on about CM Punk's shirt having sold more then The Rock's shirt... I don't see many Cena shirts in the crowd, mostly CM Punk's...

Good stuff WWE for doing this move. Money where it's at.

I see Kofi going over, they've been facing off in House Matches and apparently Rey is injured so they're doing an injury angle with him.

 

[Andrew]

Kofi is developing a bit here. Could a push be on the rise for Kofi Kingston in the near future? He's actually becoming better ring-wise, he's decent on the microphone even though he doesn't cut many promos.

I do see him feuding and if R-Truth speaks about Spiders, he should talk about Kofi's attire

That's a feud for after Summerslam.

 

[Keith]

Crisp fast pace match so far, Kingston entering a fine performance.

Question is if KK faces the Miz sunday, where does that leave Del Rio, who would he face?

 

[Troy]

Good match so far, Kofi is looking good in the ring with Miz. Not sure what this means for SummerSlam, maybe a tag team match Mysterio & Kofi vs. Miz & Del Rio?

 

[Andrew]

I fear for Del Rio not being booked on the card. A tag match would make a lot of sense however...

Rey/Kofi vs. Miz/Del Rio could work

They really need to book Del Rio, this is a top 4 PPV.

 

[Troy]

Yeah they have to get Del Rio onto the card. Too often he has been the one to miss out and they need him on this big PPV.

 

[Keith]

The timing of everything that Miz has done in this match has been great, love that leaping clothesline in the corner.
