    So with the 900th Episode of RAW due to air Monday night, i was just wondering what people think is gonna happen? Because it is a big occasion (is it 3 hours does any1 know), there is bound to be some big moments during the show. I think that the GM will finally be revealed and maybe have that rumoured appearence by The Rock.

    Would love to hear what you think yourself!

    Oh ****, no chance of a ninja edit now.:pac:

    I think we will have some of the SD stars such as Rey, Kane , Punk and Masters on the show.

    They will also plug the hell out of NXT as the following night is the finale of the series.

    New wwe logo is rumored to make it's debut.


  • Posts: 14,266 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Haha, that new WWE logo thing is so silly. I'd say there's all of about 1% chance of them changing the logo.

    Can't imagine much happening on RAW, to be honest. Probably some advancement on Taker/Kane, NXT bein gheavily promoted, Cena getting a hiding for a change (and possibly a mid-card title change).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,964 ✭✭✭Podge2k7


    Will Nexus get a new member now that Sheffield is injured?

    None of that will happen!
    It'll be classic 3 hour raw; wall to wall ads and promos. With 3 or 4 matches taking up a total of 12 minutes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,751 ✭✭✭newballsplease


    Would I be right in saying on a 2hour episode of RAW, theres around 14 adverts/breaks?!

    Every now and again when I download raw the ads are edited out and a 2 hour raw is cut down to about 1 hour and 10/15 minutes.

    So 14 could be about right.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,206 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Doubt they'll change the logo, especially after creating new tag belts with the current logo on them

    I assume the SD superstars be on the show also

    I'm hoping for some Edge and Christian interaction or even a match

    Is it not 3 hours ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 351 ✭✭Tribesmen7


    I thought it would be a three hour show but going by Sky Sports is seems to be the usual two hours. I'm looking forward to it, I just hope that we see alot of Sheamus, he has been gold lately.

    No, it's 2 hours. USA have it scheduled for 9/8c which is 2am here

    Reckon Triple H will be revealed as the new GM, he's been hanging around RAW and house shows a lot lately. He might not be able to compete just yet, but he has since been rumoured to be the secret GM. The Undertaker has confirmed via his Twitter account he will be at RAW this monday, presumably in some sort of angle with Kane. Plenty of spooky trickery ahead so. As far as the Rock appearing, it's been tight lipped. He has said he IS returning in a guest host capacity, but surely he wouldn't return to be overshadowed by Triple H's return? And we just know Vince will make an appearance....

    Taker has a twitter??? That's got to be a fake

    I'd say so. Taker is renowned for guarding his gimmick, I can't imagine him using twitter.

    Isn't this Raw supposed to be Live from China?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,391 ✭✭✭D2D


    Isn't this Raw supposed to be Live from China?

    No, the Raw in China was a "house show" of sorts (basically, there was a huge expo and WWE went over). Raw is live from Boston


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,671 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    If the Rock was on RAW and WWE didn't advertise it before hand they would be so stupid!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    I think I smell a troll...

    I'll have a look into it but I'm 99% sure taker does not have a twitter.
    He's always so particular when it comes to his gimmick. A good example is how he reacted when the wedding photo of him and mccool came out.

    As for the rock. If the wwe could get him to do one night, they would try and push for a few appearances. And it would be heavily pushed.
    How long did we hear that bret was making an appearance on raw in January? About 3 weeks at least.

    Come see boards resident Asian correspondant (Me) for all your inaccurate PW news from the orient :pac: 900th episode live from China woulda been a cool idea though

    I hope I'm not wrong but in the last RAW I saw what could possibly be the saving on the division: Kozlov and Santino

    Santino was actually allowed to do some in ring work to remind everyone that he isn't just comedy gold on the stick. His in ring skills are decent.
    They can make a great team because of the mixture they bring, Kozlov can dominate anyone in the currently division. I think the E has long been searching for a way to get him over with his kayfabe (and real) mic skills, teaming him with Santino is a perfect fix.
    Since Santino is a ex-champ (Intercontinental) he brings a certain level of credibility bake to the tag belts.


    Hope this edition of raw features more Koztino :)

    How did he react? Didn't hear that story. Anyway i'd disagree with you, i'm not 99% sure he hasn't a twitter account, i'm 100%!:D

    His title reign brings no credibility because it was a joke - "the greatest h-intercontinental champion of all the times"

    I'm a big Santino fan though!

    Is Koslov really any good on the mic though?

    I think he's entertaining personally. He's shown glimpses of awesomeness in the ring too when he's been given wee bits of freedom.

    He wasn't guarding his gimmick a few years ago when he was walking around in jeans and a leather vest and appearing on TV shows breaking kayfabe n stuff.

    There's just something incredibly wrong about the phrase "RAW in China" :(

    Koslov should act all his promos through interpretative dance.

    Yes, because it was a totally different gimmick!

    What did Taker do in reaction?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3 Robbie Tyrrell


    Just in reaction to those who 'smelled a troll' with my earlier post, WWE is now PUBLICLY advertising the Undertaker as a special guest on RAW tonight, thus confirming his twitter posts. And for the record, The Undertaker does not have a twitter account, Mark Callaway does..he is allowed to have a life outside of WWE afterall...

    It's also worth noting the main event being advertised locally is Sheamus V Cena V Orton in a cage for the title. Since Night of Champions is only three weeks away, I suspect Sheamus will retain but being its the 900th epiosde who knows?!?

    I might have gotten that one wrong. It says it's the E that got annoyed that the photo leaked.

    I respect that he would want to have a life outside the wwe and all that, but I can't find it anywhere. None of them are verified and obviously mark-fan twitters.

    Can you give a link?

    If your talking about his American Badass gimmick that dosen't count seeing as that was his gimmick...

    There is a list of all wrestlers that have twitter on WWE.com. Taker is not mentioned, I dont believe for one second that any twitter account with his name on it is actually his account.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 90,227 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I expect the show will be filled with lots of classic moments from past episodes of Raw

    So he doesn't have a twitter account but his twitter confirmed it?:confused:

    Anyhow, i'd be pretty doubtful that "Mark Calaway" the man has a twitter account, probably less doubtful than "The Undertaker" had one, but doubtful none the less. Taker protects his character against these very things. He doesn't want fans to see any emotions or feelings he may have - why he was probably unhappy with the wedding photos - he also probably doesn't want fans to know that he's "flying to RAW on Monday" because he'd like them to think that he simply raises his hands, everything goes black, a few lightning bolts crack, a gong sounds, and he simply appears in whichever city he wants. So having any sort of twitter or social networking account suspends that belief, which is the reason he doesn't have one.
