Tonight's WWE RAW takes place from San Antonio, Texas with HBK Appreciation Night advertised. Triple H, Brock Lesnar and Shawn Michaels are all scheduled to appear tonight but there's no confirmation yet that the festivities will be airing on TV.

CM Punk's new DVD/ Blu-ray trailer:

Would be nice if Big show is beating the crap out of Cena and HBK comes in and sweet chins him.

The become the Guest referee at Summer Slam hmm

by Onyx Mon Aug 06, 2012 7:23 pm

I think HBK's got more chance of being special guest ref in the Triple H-Lesnar match.

by RealGunner Mon Aug 06, 2012 7:37 pm

and him helping HHH :bow:

Funny how you all talk about the old guys lol.

Not just from a technical stand point, it is a lot worse but also from storyline point and not just from the wrestlers but also the guy's in the background.

Was watching the rise and fall of WCW last night and made me realise how much wrestling was better back then but not just in a spectacle or a technical reasons but storyline and character building.

It's just back then WWE had competition, hence the attitude era and the programming being good.

The 'ruthless aggression' era was also pretty good, since it had stars from WCW and WWE. But they started leaving, WWE became PG etc and no new stars are really being created currently.

Punk obviously made WWE interesting for a while last year, but a few months later it returned to being predictable. January-April was alright, since it was WM season. But since May WWE has been boring.

Agreed that is a big part of it, the wrestlers are worse now from in-ring talents to mic skills etc etc but a lot of that could be negated if there was more creative guys behind the scenes coming up with good storylines.

Oh well Sad

by Onyx Mon Aug 06, 2012 9:36 pm

It seems like the creative only focuses on the main storyline. The rest of the show seems like filler.

New RAW intro's better than old one. :bow:

by Onyx Tue Aug 07, 2012 1:17 am

Hopefully it's Mysterio.

by Onyx Tue Aug 07, 2012 3:21 am

Jericho.

Summary of today's RAW mt ? i missed it

by Onyx Tue Aug 07, 2012 3:55 am

Hasn't finished yet. Bryan vs Cena atm, main event.

by Freeza Tue Aug 07, 2012 8:51 pm

Just finished watching today's episode, the best one so far the last months i have seen in imo, just needs a bit more backstage segments tbh

also Jericho is amazing, the best on the mic left in the business. It would also be a disgrace if Lesnar doesn't win over Triple H at Summerslam, he would lose all credibility

by Onyx Tue Aug 07, 2012 9:21 pm

by RealGunner Tue Aug 07, 2012 10:47 pm

Who won the Cena Bryan match ?

by DRK Tue Aug 07, 2012 11:34 pm

Cena did

by RealGunner Wed Aug 08, 2012 12:08 am

Good. was it a good match ?

by Onyx Wed Aug 08, 2012 12:28 am

I found it boring, but a lot of people probably found it alright.

by Onyx Wed Aug 08, 2012 4:13 am

Wade Barrett's back.

by ausbaz Wed Aug 08, 2012 5:09 am

Was hoping Wade would come out at Raw 1000 and drop one of Cena/Sheamus

Really like Wade for some reason.

also just thinking how amazing an Orton CM Punk duo ala DX could be.
Fuggin PG rating ruins it!

by Onyx Wed Aug 08, 2012 2:50 pm

Apparently Jericho said Y2J's back on Smackdown. Smile

by Onyx Thu Aug 09, 2012 12:22 am

There has been at least some discussion about taking the WWE Title off CM Punk at SummerSlam and then doing The Rock vs. John Cena at the Royal Rumble followed by Rock vs. Punk at WrestleMania 29.

by Onyx Thu Aug 09, 2012 4:41 am

A three-way WWE Tag Team Title match with Kofi Kingston and R-Truth vs. Titus O'Neil and Darren Young vs. Primo and Epico may end up on the WWE SummerSlam card. Other matches possible for the show in less than two weeks are The Miz vs. Rey Mysterio for the Intercontinental Title and Damien Sandow vs. Brodus Clay.

WWE reportedly has a strong final angle being saved for next week's RAW that is supposed to be the difference maker in the build to SummerSlam.

by DRK Sat Aug 11, 2012 12:07 am

Sandow vs Clay seems like it will be a match. I can't get too excited for the tag team matches tbh. Also think Ryback and Mahal will be on the card unless they want to finish that feud before the ppv
