WWE RAW 7th March 2011 - LIVE Discussion Thread

[Troy]

Huge show with the biggest news being that Stone Cold will be on RAW;​

- Stone Cold will be on the show promoting Tough Enough.
- The Rock won't be on the show due to his filming schedule.
- Cena is meant to respond to the Rock again with a "Final Knockout"​

- Michael Cole will reveal who the guest referee for his match with Lawler at WrestleMania will be.

Will more matches be added to the WM card which is a month away? What do you think will happen on RAW this week?​

Post your thoughts before, during and after the show.​

 

[Dod Draper]

I'm really looking forward to this show. Undecided whether I'm staying up till 4am to see it all, but I may do.

No doubt Cena will come out with some goofy response to Rock. Hopefully it's nothing too cringeworthy.

 

[Troy]

The Miz wrote on his twitter: "Out of protest for not getting the recognition I deserve, I am boycotting Raw tonight."

So The Miz is upset that he is being overshadowed by Cena and the Rock so he has decided not to show up. I highly doubt he won't be on the show tonight in some capacity.

 

[SpectreVLV]

It might be part of the character he's playing, but how does the Miz expect to jump up in his career so quickly. Just because he has the big title doesn't mean the people will approve you as much as the next guy. On the other hand, it's probably part of the character he's playing.
I'm also excited for tonight's RAW; definitely watching this. I think John Cena will do the "final knockout" in the beginning of the show like always.
About Cole v Lawler, my prediction for the referee is Booker T. There's actually a reasonable chance that Booker T will get picked as the ref, since Cole probably thinks that Booker is on his side, while Lawler thinks that Booker is on his side. Booker in this case is kind of stuck in the middle, and he would probably call the match down the middle as a result. + Booker T as the Special Guest Referee for WM27 is a great choice for this commentator battle between Cole and Lawler. Then again, I really don't know.

Pumped to see Stone Cold tonight.

I'm tuning in just now to see CM Punk staring down Orton from outside the ring.

Christian's scar is nasty

 

[Dademo]

Well Christian comes out, and then Del Rio, and now here's Brodus Clay on Del Rio's side.

Looks like Christian will have to face him since Del Rio says he won't face him. And I was right.

 

[Dademo]

Kinda boring and dull match there but Christian gets a DTT and finishes it! Here comes Del Rio to attack him and I'm sure he will attack that pectoral muscle. He hits that armbreaker and although I love Del Rio's gimmick, I don't think the move goes right with him and unfortunately, I can't see him winning at Wrestlemania using that, but that's just me.

 

[Troy]

Just tuned in then. Disappointed I missed Christian and a Sin Cara promo.

Cole disrespecting some Divas.

The True Story of Wrestlemania DVD looks good.

 

[Dademo]

Saw the Sin Cara Promo, that was cool. Sunny got in as well, good for her, I knew she would get in either last year, this year or next year. Cole disrespecting the Diva's lol.

 

[Troy]

Just read that the Undertaker vs Triple H match will be No Holds Barred, awesome decision since they aren't going to be able to wrestling a clinic with Undertaker's injury and Triple H isn't the wrestler HBK is. Allows them more freedom and they can battle through the crowd.

JBL is Cole's guest ref. Excellent choice and I didn't see it coming.

 

[Troy]

Sunny getting in the HOF the same year as HBK is just funny. Someone must be laughing backstage that it happened that way.

JBL is in great shape.

 

[Dademo]

HAHAHA that was great by Cole! I was convinced it would be Stone Cold, and it's fucking JBL making his return! Such a badass is JBL. I can see him feuding with Del Rio now that he's returned.

 

[Troy]

Would be good if Del Rio comes out to face off with JBL.

STONE COLD!

 

[Troy]

Stunner to JBL and Austin signs the contract so he will be the guest ref at WrestleMania. One night appearance for JBL I guess.
