Raw - 18/01/11 *Spoilers*

JP Liz V1

We have Punk V Cena and which SD star will show up this week

irish_stevo815

Punk v Cena will probably be a No Contest. Either due to Nexus beating down on Cena or, Wade's band of merry-men running into to beat down on Punk.

sliotor

I doubt they will have Barrett and the lads confront punk yet but it will be interesting to hear what punk says about them, presumably he will put them down and say something like his group is the superior group.

JP Liz V1

I wonder will Punk recruit some new members to Nexus now maybe some of the rookies from Nxt Season 2

sliotor

I suppose if he does, that will mean that they will have to pass the initiation

Perhaps I'm missing something here but arnet Husky & Henning the only 2 decents ones? The rest have mostly been let go, no?

"Showtime" Percy Watson has been working Dark matches for the last few weeks against Chavo.

I couldnt see him as part of Punk's Nexus

What about Cannon or Cottonball?

Both down in FCW atm. Out of all Season 2 rookies, Husky, McGullicutty and A Ri are the only ones on TV

CMpunked

Would make sense that royal rumble qualifications start tonight.

CMpunked

Wait scratch that. I momentarily forgot that theres 40 now.

No need for qualifying, everyone has a spot now!

D.Q

anyone staying up for it?

Insect Overlord

Taping it, will be watching it tomorrow evening instead.

glenjamin

I'd say Wade's Nexus will face off against Punk's at Mania or something. Be interesting to see where Sheffield and Tarver fit in when they're back.

Miz is awesome

POSSY

Miz can't possibly still be Champ at 'Mania... anyone hear any rumours on what the main event is likely to be?

D.Q

jesus. At least when HHH cut a 20 minute promo at the start of raw, he didnt say poopy.

Jerk? Poopy? Corny? Are these the best insults they are allowed use now!

As far as the Rumble goes, a 40 man rumble makes sense, takes up more time so less need to build up matches for it!

D.Q

The general manager is ****ing insane.

Jayob10

Simple way around this, Punk could kick them all out of Nexus. They can interfere and technically they are not members of Nexus when they interfere in the match.
He can then rehire them next week.

Damn me for picking holes in the plot

D.Q

love the cobra.

POSSY

I wonder when will the GMs identity be revealed... it was stale a long time ago, now it's just pointless!

D.Q

give this match 30 minutes please.

sliotor

it has to be better than that tag match anyway.

Jayob10

jesus zero reaction for Danielson

D.Q

its ridiculous really. Depends on the crowd. Give it time though, I think he needs to take a heel turn soon.

edit: also, that music needs to change...get the final countdown again ffs!

sliotor

yeah the music is terrible

GTR63

The highlight of my night was laughing at a Dreadful Mountie vs Koko B.Ware match on WWE Vintage.
Stand Up for wwe haven't we all heard the end of it.
I Knew it this thing with the bellas was about Bryans supposed virginity. Now for Ziggler vs Orton.Is it possible to die of disinterest,i'm about to find out.

Jayob10

bloody amazing heat on vicki, its deafening

...you really hate WWE...Why bother staying up to watch it?

Jayob10

lads ye will prob tell me im talking out of my rear end, but I don't get the hype about Orton, sure hes a great worker. But the stupid intense staring into space and lack of charisma are funny at this stage. hes a one trick pony.

had to laugh last week when someone described his interview backstage, you know the ones where the interviewee looks surprised to see the interviewer appear.
cue orton staring intensely into space and then shooting a glance at the interviewer as if to say I didnt see you there

themick

im calling skip sheffield to intervere in punk v cena match..

The stand up campaign failed,that vintage match is bad & i'm not a fan of orton or ziggler.I did wish they didn't take a break during the only match I wanted to see(bryan vs Morrison).

Couldnt agree more. I hate that "stare" thing too. Sure he is a great worker.
But dont get me wrong used to like Ortan. Most people did at least at one point I reckon... but now its just same ol' crap ya know.

Jayob10

jesus orton is working a bit stiff here with Ziggler, i think hes not impressed with Ziggler no selling and overly quick recovery from some of Ortons moves

GTR63

I think the appeal of Orton for the fans is the RKO.Kinda a bit like Petey Williams with the Canadian Destroyer(except the destroyer may be the coolest in Wrestling history).I call it Signature Syndrome when people see them they only want to see the move.

CoolHat

Terrible that the miz has a little mini fued with jerry lawler and lost to him. Geez... talk about pushing a guy and pis*ing on him at the same time.

Is he though? He doesnt have great matches really. I thought he was enjoyable as a heel... but that was because of a good strong story. He's beyond stale now though.

ah he is a class worker, a natural in the ring. But character wise he is very stale now. He has no personality really

D.Q

I disagree. I think he has decent presence, nothing more. His matches are incredibly boring until the last 5 seconds. He doesnt really tell a story in the ring and so needs a strong storyline to really sell his matches.

CoolHat

Well he is reguarded as being a great worker. Even by other wrestlers ... but that doesnt matter. He is stale.

He came into wwe in 2002 right?
Then main eventer pretty much since 2004 when he won the title. Thats 7 years now being in a top spot.

mark henry will come out i bet

Ted is so going to win the Rumble. :eek:
