    With all the talk of Rock I forgot about the TLC match!

    Looking forward to this and only for work in the morning I would stay up. Might get up early to watch some of it first thing instead.

    I have high hopes for this, it's nice to get back to regular programming. I didn't bother with the prerecorded Christmas Eve and New Years shows.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,608 ✭✭✭irish_stevo815


    Haven't paid much attention over the last few weeks but tonight could be great. The road to wtestlemania truly kicks off.

    Would be great to see Rock, Brock and Taker....but I'll settle for The Rock....for now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,640 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    I would like a Rock/Ryback tease. We might get it, to give the illusion Ryback has a chance of winning.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,774 ✭✭✭Big Daddy Cool


    Anytime the great one returns, its gonna be well worth watching.

    Saw on facebook that the rock is back tonight.

    First time watching raw since the summer, so be interesting to see what story lines are going on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,116 ✭✭✭starviewadams


    Hopefully no cringey Twitter or ****e 'popcorn fart' heavy promos from Rocky.

    Wonder how they'll cost Ryback the title again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    It would be some swerve if Ryback were to win the title tonight and face off with Rock at the Rumble.

    I could never see them ending Punk's record reign in so a way though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,641 ✭✭✭andyman


    The Shield will surely get involved again tonight?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,196 ✭✭✭Ridley


    Wonder how they'll cost Ryback the title again.

    Perhaps The Rock'll do it accidentally.

    I'd kinda like to see the briefcase spot from KotR 99 again.

    Only this time we find out who done it.

    You sure you want that? It'll be Hornswoggle. Both times.

    Yeah it makes sense now that we know he is Vince's son or was he re-born when Mae Young had him last week?

    And the Anonymous Raw GM.

    I'm gonna assume he climbed back in...

    Although he's now theoretically the son of Mae Young and Finlay, and half-brother to a giant hand. ;)

    Is Rasputin his godfather?
    (he was in the Fit Finlay documentary).

    Really wanna stay up and watch this but my alarm at 6 says otherwise :( first time since raw1000 there's been some hype about!

    That mental image is going to haunt me to the day I die.

    Screw it, I'm staying up for this to get in the mood for the Rumble meet-up :)

    *cracks beer*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,348 ✭✭✭✭ricero


    Come on the ryback


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,640 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    That was a great ending to NXT they showed there.
    The Shield destroying the NXT locker room until Big E Langston comes down and they get out of there. I think NXT is a few weeks behind WWE TV as the guys who were the top faces on the show are now heels in WWE.

    Anyway...Rocky. Rocky. Rocky.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,269 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    AJ has a mic.

    *sigh*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,348 ✭✭✭✭ricero


    Some shiner on ziggles


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,868 ✭✭✭Andersonisgod


    AJ hitting some nails on the head.

    Meanwhile Cena is in full on detestable, child mode.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,641 ✭✭✭andyman


    She also has a push-up bra on by the looks of things

    She's one of the most annoying characters of recent WWE history.

    At least she's stopped the skipping...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,016 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    What happened to Ziggler's eye?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,602 ✭✭✭✭Liam O




    Wish Cena had finished his reference tbh :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,752 ✭✭✭Thepoet85


    Why would ziggler enter the rumble, surely he could just cash in for a title shot at mania? Maybe I'm missing something


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,217 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    ... "butt whipping"
    ... "your first weiner joke"

    Man the PG era sucks :pac:

    I like the skipping! Then again, I love crazy chicks, the more deranged the better.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,114 ✭✭✭BohsJohnny


    That was weird when big e got the mic everyone seemed lost and didn't know what to do.

    Let the fast food ads begin!


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


    Glad we got all that crapola out of the way early. I might be less inclined to switch off later now.

    Big E has bigger boobs than AJ.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,016 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I thought Big E was fighting Cena :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,114 ✭✭✭BohsJohnny


    Where are the commentators?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    Who broke the sound system?

    Ok, till they come back, we do our own running commentary on here just for the laugh? Who's in?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,868 ✭✭✭Andersonisgod


    This whole wrestling without commentary thing ain't bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,640 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    I hated A.J. as a babyface but as a heel she's much more interesting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,217 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    Whats with the lack of commentary?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,868 ✭✭✭Andersonisgod


    Lol the commentary returns just as Ziggler hits the mat off the suplex. Magic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 388 ✭✭sockmo


    hasnt been any commentary yet


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


    I love how the commentary returns as if nothing... was wrong...
    Why don't they just explain the mics were down. I will never understand wwe logic.
