WWE RAW 8th August 2011 - LIVE Discussion

[Keith]

Summerslam 91 classic moment, and one of my favourite ever wrestling matches, twenty years ago WOW!

 

[Andrew]

I said Ryder vs. McIntyre because they had feuded for 2 weeks last month on Superstars. Bringing it to RAW would give both of them something seeing Mid-carders ain't used well.

Del Rio backstage with Ricardo.

 

[Troy]

The Miz and Rey later, does this mean we will not get them at Summerslam, hope not, maybe tonight's bout will set up SS.

Personally I think ADR-Kingston and Riley-Ziggler will be booked tonight for sure, but maybe even Rey-Miz.

I wanted it to be at Mysterio vs. Miz but they are now giving it away for free tonight so I don't know if I want to see it again at PPV. Maybe they will run an angle rather than having a clean loss for one of them. Or I guess if Miz wins here the SummerSlam match would be the best of three.

 

[Andrew]

Del Rio vs. CM Punk?! YES!

I want this to happen tonight! Nice short promo by Del Rio, this match is going to be phenomenal

 

[Keith]

Del Rio promo, it is he who will wrestle Punk tonight, should be a good one.

 

[Andrew]

I hope we get a promo between JoMo & Truth like I said, they're showing highlights of the past four month.

 

[Troy]

Alberto Del Rio is Punks opponent tonight. Like the idea of booking a heel vs Punk because Punk's opponent will be booed no matter who it is.

Truth talking to Josh Matthews back stage.

 

[Andrew]

This is a great R-Truth promo.

So many WHAT chants, but this is amazing from R-Truth.

 

[Andrew]

Strong booking tonight for RAW before Summerslam I must admit.

We're going to see some great matches and I'm impressed. I do hope for a Morrison backstage or in-ring promo later on.

 

[Troy]

Apparently Miz vs. Mysterio is up next. Thought they said that was the mainevent. I guess the contract signing will end the show.

 

[Troy]

Yeah Morrison needs to have a promo tonight as well to even things up and to promote a match for SummerSlam.

 

[Andrew]

I could see Morrison cutting a promo with R-Truth coming out and threatening to beat Morrison down but Morrison gets the one up and says he'll see him on Sunday.

This could work for a good build up. It's been four months, it needs to be announced.

 

[Andrew]

Where is RAW tonight?

Rey got a monstrous pop, he's out to face The Miz. Should be a good match if it's on this early.

 

[Andrew]

The Miz attacks Rey from behind, the bell isn't rang yet but The Miz is already working on Rey. Smashing his head on the WWE Sign on top of the entrance ramp.

 

[Keith]

Miz catches Rey from the blind side on his way out, and is hammering him, seems like we maybe getting the match this sunday instead.
