RAW Discussion 1/23

[Rabid619]

William Regal is at the announcers table for this squash

[Rabid619]

Somebody Call My Momma!!! =))

[Rabid619]

Yes!!! Heath Slater is going to be the victim tonight.

[Rabid619]

Slater does a drop kick then Clay runs him over. Hits a few more moves and thats it. Dear god i hope he's in the rumble.

[Rabid619]

Truth gets the win so that means The Miz is the #1 entrant in the Rumble on Sunday.

[Rabid619]

They're now saying Ryder has a broken back.

[Rabid619]

Laurinaitus is shown in a robe, prepping for the match. Otunga says theres a fax for him and it's not good. Laurinaitus reads it with an unhappy look on his face. I'm sure we'll found out what it is after the commercial break.

[Rabid619]

My guess is that Laurinaitus isn't allowed to compete against Punk since he's the ref for Sunday.

[Rabid619]

Roberts introduces Laurinaitus multiple times, he finally comes out wearing a Future Endevoured shirt.

[Rabid619]

The fax says that Laurinaitus's job as Interm RAW GM will be under review. Next week he'll be given an evaluation. The evaluation will be conducted by Triple H.

[Rabid619]

Laurinaitus is trying to apologize to Punk, he says Foley is in the Rumble.

[Rabid619]

Its now gonna be Otunga vs Punk. Otunga blindsides Punk.

[Rabid619]

Punk gets control and puts Otunga in the Anaconda Vice. Otunga taps but the ref isn't calling for the bell. Laurinaitus extends his hand, after a few moments Punk grabs it and lifts him up for a GTS. After celebrating for a moment, Ziggler attacks Punk from behind.

OMG, Eve was looking HOOOOOOOOOT tonite! I mean, she looked like the SEXIEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD and I couldn't quite put my finger on it....then I realized it was just that her acting was SOOOOO atrocious it accentuated her positives =)) =)) =)) She made Dixie Carter look like Meryl Streep out there. She's gonna win a Razzy for that performance, let me tell ya....

[Bob-O]

I was also shocked when it looked like they were going to go ahead with Punk vs Ace. Not so much because there wasn't any build up, but the fact that it was supposedly going to be on free TV unannounced. I thought it played out marvelously.

However, while I'm on this soap box, replace "Punk vs Ace" with "Miz vs Truth" and I'm at a loss for words. So there wasn't room for it on the Royal Rumble card. Fine. Which means they'll both be in the Elimination Chamber match. Ok. Don't want it to play out till Wrestlemania? Fine whatever, it's 2012. Doesn't change the fact that after 3 weeks of build it went unannounced.

[Verdun]

My biggest issue was Johnny Ace's face while Punk had him up.

Complete straight face.

[Serujuunin]

My biggest issue was Johnny Ace's face while Punk had him up.

Complete straight face.

I had an issue with this too. Seriously, he can't even ACT scared. Terrible.

[Rabid619]

I had an issue with this too. Seriously, he can't even ACT scared. Terrible.

Or....or maybe he was so scared his face froze in that position before he could look shocked. :p

Laurinaitus is good at playing a douche heel but thats about it. I guess he's the counterpart to Eve's horrible over acting.
