RAW 16/11/09 *SPOILERS*

JP Liz

WWE RAW emanates from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York.
Tonight's WWE RAW main event, as announced last week, will be D-Generation X vs. JeriShow vs. John Cena & The Undertaker.

Also in action will be WWE Divas champion Melina against Alicia Fox.
The RAW guest host tonight will be WWE Hall Of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.

The last show before SS hopefully should be good and with Piper an excellent choice as guest host maybe Piper's Pit back tonight

Bounty Hunter

This will be the best Raw in ages, why? cos im actually going to watch it 10am start time Live and tuesday is my day off, sweeet!

is taker moving better now? considering he is working both shows 2 weeks in a row, I though maybe he had got up to speed again

chopperbyrne

I wouldn't expect much from Taker tonight as he was in Dublin on Saturday, Belfast last night and is obviously flying straight to NY for Raw tonight. That would nearly kill anyone in their peak never mind the stage Taker is at now..

Super-Rush

Fawking Bull****!!!!

Vince brings in the Iron Sheik to slag off Hogan. I think

I like the old school feel to it.

yep there has been somewhat of an oldschool feel to it so far, the crowd seem really up for it but i guess Santino's Jersey antics, Hornswaggle and DX opening the show could be the reason for that

Reganio 2

I thought they were turning Heel, but I guess them stretchering him out shows they care so are still Face.

Bounty Hunter

hahahaha Chris Masters FTW

Reganio 2

Chris Masters is class . Quite possibly the best gimmick ever .

Super-Rush

How many guest hosts are there going to be tonight??

waltersobchak

this raw is off the chain, awesssomme

Bounty Hunter

did they just cut Mr Mcmahon off mid saying something lol. Iron Sheik, Piper, Vince, DX etc... what decade is this

and here is Sheamus!

edit: gotta say im really liking the big Irish Fellah

Oat23

Sheamus just f'd up the king .

Super-Rush

wow sheamus is getting a really good push. He should be inducted into the HOF for that.

waltersobchak

i was so hoping for the brooklyn brawler vs sheamus!

Super-Rush

Blood and a table spot and still got the main event to go?? Pity its not held in the Garden every week.

The Cannibal

King to get Sheamus eliminated at Survivor Series?

Did Piper slip an F-Bomb in there on Vince? I wasn't certain.

JP Liz

Orton Legend Killer back :rolleyes:

EdK

Cena vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania? That wouldn't be the worst thing ever,Cena would probably win though haha

Super-Rush

What a pop for Taker when he drilled Cena.

Id actually love to see that match, it would really embellish the streak if Taker beat Cena..

chopperbyrne

Just watched all of last nights RAW.

Very entertaining from start to finish.

Completly agree. The 1st Raw in a while that didn't suck, with the exception of Ozzy's Raw.

The new intro is brilliant!! No HD set this week either. Master's is brilliant, I bet the Black eyed Peas were impressed with that display. Delighted that leprachaun was pedigreed, hopefully he'll be out for a while. LOL at the little stretcher for him. Great way to finish the show with Cena getting a tombstone!!

Bounty Hunter

i knew it, what did Raw need for it to get back to being good? why me watching it of course

Headshot

i hate HHH but I had a lovely smile when that midget got the pedigree

grames_bond

ok this is goin to be difficult to say.....that was a brilliant raw! (i feel kinda dirty now....im going to lie down)

SlickRic

just back from work and i'm going to have a watch of this.

i'm actually a little excited given some of the reports.

excellent.

irishultra

raw 7/10.

too many crap skits but some good moments like that midget getting pedigreed straight to hell and taker tombstoning cena. sheamus aint gettin much heat is he?

callaway92

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

DM_7

Great to see Kofi getting a Jeff Hardy Style Push.

Orton is a crap wrestler form a technical point of view but some of the Brawls and Spots he is involved in are brilliant.

I wish RAW was from MSG every week.

Great to see wwe in the process of creating new stars, maybe there should be a thread praising booking like Kofi's last night;)

dsmythy

Well they did a good job to generate interest for Survivor Series. Let's see if it pays off. Back to normal for Raw next week though i fear.

Gambra

As far as I can see it, this Raw was a direct response to Hogan's comments about getting TNA into another Monday Night War style war with WWE. This was the best Raw of 2009 for a reason!

The reason? MSG.

Brolly

Wow! It actually took me more than 25 mins to watch an episode of Raw! If only it were like this every week (minus the stupid DX merch plugs!).

You both have a case because it can come across as it were Vince flexing his muscles to show that he can pull out the big guns whenever he wants to. But i did state myself earlier that its more than likely because it was held in MSG and i'll hold onto that opinion.

Brilliant episode. Hell, just having three of the all time greats on screen at once alone made it brilliant.

They seriously need to push Masters as a face now. Guy's a f**king legend

JP Liz

one of the better RAWs in a long time

I'm enjoying the Kofi/Orton feud

Cena prob got the biggest boos of the night

I agree Masters as a face would work he needs a push now maybe add him to the Miz/Swagger feud

irishultra

u guys are just wwe marks because raw only had 17 minutes of wrestling in a 2 hour show. piper was ****ing horrible as host and while the kofi and orton and main event finale were good it was a poor show.

Everyone has their own opinions on it so don't go around calling us "WWE Marks" just because we liked this week's Raw. Take out the commercials,you don't have a 2 hour show. How many minutes is there of wrestling is in a normal Raw.

Compared to the last couple of Raw's, this weeks one was excellent. Piper was a great host's in comparison to the 2 Nascar drivers (who called Kofi Kingston Kofi Johnson). Piper's Pit with Vince was great to watch esp the digs at Hogan, Hornswoggle getting pedigree'd, Cena getting tombstoned, Kofi moving up to main-event status with his feud with Orton
and Swagger & Bourne put on another great match.

I dunno how you can criticise that show, at the end of the day,this is how Raw HAS to be, ie entertaining, and leaving you wanting to see the matches on ppv instead of having them constantly on free to air television, Raw has been getting better over the last few weeks, and if they concretrate on having some really good undercard and mid card matches, and decent storylines, people will watch..

I would go along with that.

Smackdown and ECW always concentrate more on matches than RAW do. RAW is more about entertainment and this weeks RAW pulled off some good entertainment and moments to remember. Using the mid card to provide some good matches on RAW is more of what wwe should do with RAW.
