Official 16th Jan, 2012 RAW Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

[Lord Tensai]

Lol this is pretty interesting it all makes sense mostly clever.

OOOH building a Punk/Johnny match.

[texaslonghorn]

Punk saved the entire show with that speech , only way it could end better is if Johnny gets a Socko.

[Lord Tensai]

could be building John/Foley GM hm.

[DarkDefender85]

That was the most boring Mic Shot in WWE history!

[texaslonghorn]

Anybody would be better than John Boy as GM, he's terrible on the mike now as he was in ring when he wrestled. That ending with him and Foley was almost painful to watch. The WWE needs to stick him back behind the scenes and keep him there for good.

[Kage]

They need to let Punk cut promos like that every week.

[texaslonghorn]

Can't risk that precious PG ratining on Punk doing that too often, the show might actually turn back into something close to wrestling entertainment instead of just entertainment.

[Lord Tensai]

Good Punk promo .

[Sabin Shelley Army]

Jericho was boring again. No surprise.

That was the best Punk promo in months. He had anger in his voice instead of just being sarcastic and making jokes.

John Laurinitis laying out Foley might have been the wrestling move of the night.

what was awesome about it? The only good thing was seeing JTG alive and well and apparently still employed.

LOL. Clay vs JTG was terrible. It didn't even have the shock of last week's debut.

What was awesome about it? Brodus Clay is something we haven't seen before and he has an interesting style of wrestling. He is an interesting character. Also I totally dig the chicks dancing.

Haven't seen before? A dancing wrestler that acts silly? Makes me think of Goldust meets Akeem the African Dream meets The Godfather meets Flash Funk. Except worse in the ring than those guys.

Maybe they should have hired Human Tornado instead.

That was the most boring Mic Shot in WWE history!

John Laurinitis is the most charismatic man in the WWE.

[Swinny]

I gotta say, actually a very solid Raw tonight. Lots of interesting storylines going on, some unexpected stuff (like the whole Foley thing) going on and some good build up to the Rumble.

[Strawberries & Cream]

That Jericho bit was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long long time.

[Metalitia]

Certainly an improvement on recent weeks but still far too predictable for the most part.

Suffice to say Perez Hilton lived up to my every estimation, Brodus basically had an identical segment to last weeks, only with slightly altered dance moves.

Feel free to find my post last week when it was mentioned about Ryder vs Swagger. Or just watch it transpire on Raw.

Jericho is in the tag match, wait he'll end up leaving the arena without doing a single move I bet. Yep.

Foley was unexpected and I though Dolph did a fine job with his mic work. Definitely see him parting ways with Vickie before long.

Still not keen on how it's Punk vs Lauranitis seemingly over Punk vs Ziggler. Seems they're laying the foundations for Mick Foley to become the GM though which is cool, if not unexpected. Just hope they don't have a match between them to win the contract.

Once again no Beth Phoenix. Your Divas champion and she hasn't been seen since a pathetic mini segment a month ago?

It's all building into future storylines nicely enough though, the show was watchable without a repetitive check to see how long left, the WWE Title situation was given due prominence.
