WWE RAW 13th June 2011 - LIVE Discussion

[Troy]

​

Huge RAW this week.

- 3 hour show
- Stone Cold is GM for the night
- All-Star theme
- RAW and Smackdown rosters on the show

I am not sure what the All-star theme entails but I assume we will see some veterans and legends make an appearance for one night.

It is also the last RAW before Capitol Punishment so some more matches will no doubt be announced for the show.

What do you expect to see on RAW this week?
What will Stone Cold do as GM?
How will they tie in the All-Star theme?
What matches will be announced for Capitol Punishment?​

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

Wow nice to see it hyped up. Not that it means much, but I will be in attendance and will do a full review by hopefully Tuesday afternoon. I am going to take pictures and talk about my first experience at a real wrestling show (after only going to one house show). I am pretty excited with so many guys on the card, not sure I care about the video game promotion though. As long as Punk shows up, my night is complete. I wish Morrison was around, but oh well I still wear the shirt. Also would like to see heel Christian make an appearance and sense what reaction he gets since I don't watch Smackdown anymore.

 

[Troy]

You picked a good week to attend a show, you will get to see everyone that matters on the roster since it is longer and Smackdown are there as well. Plus you can't go too wrong with SCSA hosting it for the night. CM Punk should wrestle on the night so it should be good.

An unedited reaction to Christian will be interesting. Are the Smackdown boos from the crowd or from post production.

 

[The New F'n Show]

What do you expect to see on RAW this week? Everyone from Raw and SD that will be on the Capitol Punishment card plus a legend or two.
What will Stone Cold do as GM? Not much, stun a couple people and make a match or two.
How will they tie in the All-Star theme? Just by having SD there.
What matches will be announced for Capitol Punishment? Kofi-Ziggler, Divas Match, Punk and Mysterio (maybe #1 contender match?), Del Rio and Big Show. That would give us a 8 match card, I think.

Edit Jackson-Barrett was announced and I went Kofi-Ziggler instead of tag match though that leaves Raw dominating the card.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

I was thinking about a Punk Mysterio number one contenders match since Punk is leaving in July and he is supposed to get a title match before he leaves. I can easily see that happening for the most part. Other than that, the card should really work although I doubt the tag team match happens. I am not sure Troy about Christian, I will let you all know Monday. I for one will be clapping very loudly. I plan on giving standing ovations to Punk, Austin, Christian, Riley, Ryder, and McIntyre (last two are big ifs to make the card). Also hope Kane makes it even though I think he is on a break right now. If the fire explodes, oh I will be going off.

Also want to make one note that for anyone that used to be PWM that I used to do a thing called The Big Red Review. I would review Smackdown and make it entertaining as possible along with calling the action. I did it for four months before my life just got too hectic and simply couldn't catch a break with youtube channels. But anyway now for the first time in nearly a year, The Big Red Review will return for one time, possibly more in the future will see.

 

[Deezy]

As much as I gave you shit about the reviews, I liked reading them. If you brought it here I wouldn't be a dick like I was about a year ago.

 

[Seak]

I think using legends will be the only way they tie the game in tbh, but I'm wondering if we'll get the same legends we see all the time or if we'll get some surprises.
Austin will probably build towards his next move with the company (probably TE season 2). I'm expecting good things from him, since last week I fully enjoyed his interaction.
Christian will probably get a decent mixed reaction. Every reaction since his heel turn on Smackdown has sounded edited. There was an unedited Smackdown video on youtube of his turn and there was a decent Christian chant as he posed with the belt, and a lot of cheering.
Deezy will be a dick like he was a year ago....and the year before that....and the year before that.
If Daniel / Sin Cara vs DiBiase / Rhodes gets built further, I see another tag match at CP (lol CP).
Zack Ryder should be used on the card based on the fact that it's in LI.

 

[Deezy]

If this show was going to be like Old School Raw last year, I'll be satisfied.

 

[John McHenry]

If this show was going to be like Old School Raw last year, I'll be satisfied.

That's exactly what I expected when I heard it. Just better not be a BS gimmick built around that damn game.

I look forward to reading the review. Be sure to post it in the Wrestling Reviews section.

That would be good but this time I see a bit more focus placed on the PPV and less on the All-Star theme.

 

[Weez]

That "Damn game" is fantastic, JMac. But I MAY be a little biased

Looking forward to RAW tomorrow. I expect a CM Punk/Austin face off, based off of A) His Tweet earlier saying "How do we have CM Punk and SCSA In the same building? Who wants to bet WWE will fuck it up?" (Or something to that extent) and B) Stone Cold vs CM Punk was one of the Fantasy Warfare matchups in WWE All Stars, and one of the better ones at that.

I just saw a tweet that said The Big O would be at Raw watching Ryder's back. I don't know if he's just going to be in attendance or what, but it's interesting at least. If you don't know who The Big O is, why aren't you watching Zack Ryder's youtube series? It is freaking BRILLIANT.

I won't be around for this live chat, as I host another one but good to see a live chat running over here

 

[Troy]

^CM Punk/Austin confrontation would be awesome. Austin has been a supporter of Punk so hopefully he has some say in who he gets to work with on the show. Punk could hold his own with Austin on the mic so they need to book it.

I have seen The Big O on Ryder's YT show, we have a thread dedicated to that show on WS, but I dont actually know who The Big O is. Is he an independent wrestler or just a gym junkie?

I should be online for most of RAW tomorrow but hopefully we get another dozen posts before the show even starts.

 

[John McHenry]

Sorry Weez didn't mean to offend. But they've been plugging that game since near December I get it great game but your kinda saturating your fanbase with it.

I hope as CM Punk does that they don't Fuck up the Austin bit. Andy is supposed to be at Raw could we see him step in to help out Austin (cause I seriously don't see it going beyond a shouting match, even though Austin has a few more matches in him imo) I'd also love to see more of RTruth and Austin actually. Austin is the generic redneck character so for Rtruth to get in the ring with him start talking about little jimmy just screams hilarious to me.

 

[Troy]

Austins reaction to R-Truth last week on RAW was great and you are right the characters are such contrasts it actually works well having them in the ring together.

I didn't realise that Andy would be on RAW this week, an appearance with Austin is likely then and maybe we will see his first RAW match.
