RAW Discussion 4/23

[Rabid619]

So tonight's RAW is a 3 hour show. Rumors were flying around that this would be the annual draft episode but those were never confirmed anywhere. All thats being said now is that the Era of Power to the People will continue on tonight. Hopefully that doesn't something like a viewers choice. Honestly if it's Laurinaitis giving the people what he thinks they want, i'm all for it. He hasn't been wrong yet.

Only thing that i think is confirmed for tonight is the contract signing between John Cena & Brock Lesnar. After last week which saw Brock do a promo via satellite, we'll probably see some physicality at some point between these two again.

Just to confirm to those who may not realize, this is the go home RAW before Extreme Rules so we may get more matches announced as there are only 4 matches officially announced.

Results:

Chris Jericho defeated Kofi Kingston.

Lord Tensai defeated R-Truth.

Teddy Long is in the ring for the contract signing.

Bet it ends in typical fashion

[Rabid619]

Cena gets his usual reaction but the crowd doesn't seem to give Lesnar the same sort of reaction. Apparently he's not even here yet according to Laurinaitis, he's telling Teddy that he didn't tell him to start this yet.

[Rabid619]

Edge is here!!

[Rabid619]

Edge says this John Cena in front of him isn't the same guy who was his best rival.

[Rabid619]

Seems like they're ignoring the fact that Cena smacked Lesnar in the face 2 weeks ago to start a fight. Lesnar didn't jump him, Cena got in his face.

[BOD]

Brock Lesnar hit the F5 first to start the fight and that started

[Rabid619]

Brock Lesnar hit the F5 first to start the fight and that started

Yeah but Cena came back the next week and slapped him in the face to start that brawl.

Jericho vs Kingston is now

[BOD]

Athletic start to Raw Thats a change bet Punk comes out

[Rabid619]

Very good opener, Jericho wins with the Liontamer. First Cole calls it the Lionsault then calls it the Walls of Jericho.

[Rabid619]

Jericho grabs a mic and talks about Punks family. Crowd is Pro Jericho.

[Rabid619]

Laurinaitis hires Eve for a part in his administration.

[Rabid619]

Lesnar needs Heyman or someone to speak for him. He just seems less tough when he speaks.

[BOD]

Brock was a beast in 02 but Heyman put him over better

[Rabid619]

Dude needs to learn how to sound tough when he does a promo or something. He needs lessons from the likes of Trips and the Undertaker.

Punk shows us the gift Jericho got him which is a basket full of alcohol.......i'll take a bottle. ;)

[Rabid619]

Truth is out for a match against Albert.

[Rabid619]

I wonder if at some point we'll see Tensai vs Clay.

[Rabid619]

Albert spits the mist into his hand and engulfs Truths face in it. Thats how he pinned him to, with the hand on the face.

[Rabid619]

I just lol'd a bit when they showed Kane walking in the back with the Welders mask on.
