    so you're basically complaining because people are expressing an opinion.

    essentially, if we don't enjoy it, we should shut the fúck up.

    fúck me gently.

    there's been very positive feedback the last few weeks on Raw. we're now at a pivotal stage in the programme with Punk, and you expect people not to have opinions on it?

    yes, people complaining ALL the time can get tedious, but people have been positive, negative, and have expressed opinions.

    it's a discussion board. i'm not sure what else you'd expect when you come on here...:confused:

    Ger's gimmick the past few weeks has been woeful. Ive liked him on here and her F4W in the past so Ive no axe to grind with the dude or out to attack him.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    Also if Ger thinks this place is bad you should really read other message boards during the past month. Most sane and mature place on the interwebs.

    Leave my Ger alone you bastards.


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


    A Rovert return coupled with a face turn, and now a 'poster of the year' Gersie heel turn?!

    Well holy gawd, it has been some month for PW boards!

    That makes me think of that quote in The Godfather(the film not the wrestler obviously) "Just when you think your out.... they pull you back in". I always think of Sil from the Sopranos when I say that.

    On a totally different note, Maryse looked hot this week :P

    Oh and Cena has played his role well lately. Just saying. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Anyone care to fill me in on HHH "re-signing" JoMo I mean was he let go after Truth's beating (kayfabe) :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,469 ✭✭✭✭GTR63

    Maryse did alrite but not $20,000,000 hot.If you heard about her stalker you'll get that.

    I didn't get that either. Maybe Vince "fired" him cause he said he couldn't kick anyones ass.

    There's confusion on that. He may have meant Punk.

    A lot of plotholes on Raw.

    pretty sure HHH just fluffed his lines as he was meant to say something similar like that JoMo was another person he had brought back or called to see if he was ready for a return not actually re-hired


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


    Yeah I'd say it was just a fluff up.

    He could have been meant to say "another return/someone else is back".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I guess HHH was teasing us (audience/viewers) into thinking the "re-signed" superstar coming out was Punk not JoMo

    I was surprised JoMo and Punk were both on the show


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,048 ✭✭✭partyndbs


    the plotholes in the last few weeks actually annoy me so much. im hoping some of them are cleared up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    Can anyone give me a bullet point summary of raw? On me holidays and cant access my usual websites on my phone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,014 ✭✭✭✭jaykhunter


    RAW opens with the Finals of WWE Title tournament : Miz vs Rey mysterio. Mysterio wins the title (!) in a good match.

    Del Rio tries to cash in his MITB but Rey fends him off so he takes back his briefcase and runs away.

    Backstage he celebrates with getting sprayed with champagne by the faces, and gets a handshake from Cena.

    Ziggler vs Bourne. Ziggler wins in 3:27 with a sleeper. Meh.

    Maryse/Melina vs KK/Eve Torres. Faces win.

    HHH comes out and says it's a new day. He makes the match Cena vs Mysterio for the WWE title tonight. He brings back JR and tells Cole to go backstage as he has a match tonight. Truth comes out and does a fun comedy segment with HHH. In the end, JoMo returns (looking quite small) and attacks Truth.

    Cole returns in HHH's gear and entrance and gets squashed by Zack Ryder.

    Kingston vs ADR. Decent enough match, ADR wins via tap out to cross armbreaker.

    WWE title match : Cena vs Mysterio (c)
    Rey really carried the match, did a v good job. In the end after ~13 minutes Cena gets the AA and the win and the title.

    As Cena celebrates "Cult of Personality" hits the airwaves and CM Punk comes out with his wwe title. I should've mentioned that WWE were using a replica belt without punk around this week. He comes to the ring and both Cena and Punk hold up their belts for a nice shot that'll be used in the SummerSlam hype video.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    Hmmm, can see where peeps are coming from, punk's return does sound anti climatic.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,048 ✭✭✭partyndbs


    also when cena lifts up the belt, cm lifts it up after and cena looks to concede that punk is the true champion..kind of important part of that itneraction i thought

    Wow - I'm shocked you praised Cena. He really has done well.

    I did spend probably about 500 threads saying I will freely praise Cena if I think he does well. The last few weeks don't change they way I think about him, but I have no problem praising somebody when deserved.

    I know this is somewhat off topic but did anyone think that JoMO looked overtly gay this week on RAW?

    The walk down the ramp and everything??

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,998 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    He is the free styling parkour hero, he could swing any way he chooses...it was a bit odd that he turned up with no shirt on when he hadn't a match or anything must be awful warm backstage!

    It was actually more of an awkward moment trying to answer my brothers question of "Whats his deal?"

    Just thought it was odd coming out shirtless for no reason :P


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    The real reason was as to set the wheels in motion for Bryan Alverez escaping up his own hole on Tuesday.


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


    HHH was doing him a favor resigning him.
    Poor JoMo had run out of shirts he was out of a job so long.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,994 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Wait, meant to ask...was Morrison fired? I knew he was injuried but when did WWE fire him that they had to resign him <_<

    Thats what i thought. why would they need to rehire someone who was just injured

    My take on it is HHH deliberately used the word rehired so we would all think it was Punk coming out not JoMo
