Official Raw thread

[Ewa PGH Fan]

As of an hour ago the official @WWE twitter was still hyping Raw and still hasn't said it was cancelled.

The one site I rely on for wrestling news not rumors (PWInsider.com) has reported that the venue in Hartford is closed due to the storm and the Conn Governor declairing a state of emergency and shutting down all roads. They reported that WWE packed up production and left. WWE is saying Raw will still go on but in what form or location is unknown at this time.

That is what I'm saying. Cancelling Raw tonight would be a huge hit for the WWE after last night. They need Raw tonight, they will find someway to do it IMO. Even if it is in front of an empty arena.

maybe they will follow Rollins into a hospital with a referee where he pins lesnar when he is under anesthesia for repairing his rib. But lesnar throws him off at the count of two and beats him into the next operating room.

PWInsider just released a statement sent to them by WWE saying that Raw will be live tonight from their studios at their World HQ in Stamford, Conn. And, Smackdown will be live from Hartford this Thursday on Syfy.

Empty studios it is. See my post above.

Props to WWE for putting the safety of the fans first.

This is what's confusing me.

A) Will there be fans in the studio or empty house?

B) Will there be wrestling or 3 hours of Someone (Cena i think) running around the office building trying to get his hands on someone (Rollins i think)

I hope we don't get option B!

God was so pissed at the Rumble match, he sent a blizzard to cancel Raw.

 

[jeffro151]

Cena vs Rusev at Fast Lane, which means whoever wins, the other will win the rematch at Wrestlemania.

Also, HHH has ordered Sting to meet him in the ring for a face to face at Fast Lane.

 

[wildturkey]

Fast Lane is the PPV name? Who the fuck came up that idea? That sounds like a gas station or a shitty country band playing a dive bar that charges 3 dollar covers.

 

[anotheridiot]

probably because its february and the start of the auto racing season

There's nothing on so I channel surfed over to Raw and caught the last 5 minutes of the RR. I'm 95% sure they edited out all the boos Reigns was getting.

I thought the interviews on Raw last night were a good first step toward fixing their Rumble screw ups. Now, we'll have to see if WWE can build on last night or screw it all up again.

I thought it was a pretty cool move to replay the Rumble matches on RAW all things considered. Of course, I'm saying that because I didn't pay to watch them (thank God). It is hilarious that Zack Ryder got 20 times the pop that Reigns did (or didn't)

 

[anotheridiot]

It was an interesting show when I watched. Luckily I saw the matches so got to watch Gotham, but those 60 minutes'esque interviews were pretty good. Shows that Brock is as bad talking as Reigns is.

Didnt catch the end, did any of rollins, brock or reigns meet up in the studio?

Brock and Reigns had a face to face at the end. Brock told Reigns "Unlike Paul, I don't respect you". Reigns response was ".....But you will".

 

[johnson]

I think Brock is pretty decent on the mic so far as what he needs to be. Heyman is his voicebox and it works perfectly...the few times Brock speaks he comes off believable as a scary, dangerous psycho.

It was good they started hyping that match because there was zero interest in it from a feud standpoint before. On a scale of 1-10, after RAW, my interest is now a 1.5.

 

[Tubbs1518]

Reigns needs a manager. It's that simple. If you put Lesnar out there every week and had him try to give promos like they want Reigns to do, Lesnar couldn't.

They Did

Several readers have sent in word that you could clearly hear Roman Reigns being fed lines during his sit-down interview on Raw last night.

In the video clip which was released after Raw went off the air, featuring highlights of the Reigns interview, you can hear the audio drop out a few times. It’s during these drop outs that the lines were being fed to Reigns

I also noticed during times. A high pitched squealing when they were talking. Mainly turned down when Roman talked
