Should be a fun show!
Are you going to both the survivor series and nxt takeover
Goldberg returns TONIGHT!
Who do you think will get speared by him tonight
Curtis Axel lol you
Ya I was thinking either him or Bo
Bo vs Neville tonight
I feel like since Goldberg is back in WWE right now they should have him on the Stone Cold Podcast
He was on it a couple of months ago, (the regular one though)
Oh ok thanks I give it a listen
Who is excited?
I’m ready
Eh half way just have to see how tonight’s RAW plays out
Just wish Raw was 2 hours .I havent watched RAW live for weeks because 3 hours is too much
Yeah 2 hours is enough
Let the first hour be exclusive CWC show but a ‘different show’. Raw just drags
So do we think the crowd will crap all over Goldberg?
I am really not sure, imagine RYBACK chants haha
I think tonight is huge pop…then going fwd it will die off
Here we go!
I know it won’t happen but I would love to see Heyman and Goldberg kick off the show since mnf don’t start until 830
That will be the last segment I bet
I figured they would shoot for halftime
Here we Go!
Here we go!
Owens kicks us off
Anyone saying there not looking forward to seeing Goldberg tonight are lying
I’m not. Never got what the big deal was. Then again, I never saw him in WCW.
173-0 and he beat Brock at wrestlemania 20 and that’s all you need to know
From what I’ve seen, they were mostly squashes and the match at 20 was a fiasco due to a collusion by Goldberg and Lesnar. Again, not impressed.
Same but that’s all you need to know why people like him
Liar lol
No. I never watched Nitro. When I saw Goldberg it was in WWE and I can’t say I was all that impressed.
I am just messing with you
Okay. I just never got the mystique.
Will we see the end of JeriKO?
Was just thinking this
We will finally start to see the cracks either tonight or soon
Going to be soon
Hi y’all. What it do????
Sooooo is the Cell going on the list seeing as it’s dangerous??????????
Jericho is the best haha
The list is more over than most of the faces on the roster
The list is SOOO over
I want to be on the list
Think Seth will do any Headbanging tonight
Lol! Sparklecrotch!!!!
Sparkle Crotch
Sparkle Crotch. I like that.
And here comes the tension and the cracks
I think there going to need couples counseling
Not a bad way to kick off raw
Big positive about the sparkle on the crotch is that Jericho doesn’t have to worry about them getting ripped off in a PG enviroment.
Rollins vs Jericho
Your going to the survivor series right
Yep! You?
I wish nxt takeover looks good to
sorry for the lateness nice opening segment but let’s be real I think Sparkle Crotch and Sparkle Ass came from Seth’s own head and not from creative which I like let the wrestlers think of there own insults god damn it
okay so Goldberg returns tonight how do you guys seeing that going down him spearing Heyman or should we see Goldberg just spear a couple jobbers during a match and cutting a simple to the point promo accepting Brock’s challenge?
I doubt he spears Heyman
I’d rather he come out after a Braun Strowman squash spears Strowman then jackhammers him and pretty much grabs the mic and says “Lesnar…Survivor Series…YOU’RE NEXT” it’s simple and to the point which is what WWE needs to do more since Raw is 3 hours in my opinion
His spears are vicious
Roman take notes lol
Yes
Rollins wins
September 22nd 1997 is actually one of the most important dates in wrestling history when you look back at it
WWE do not creatively stifle Charlotte and Sasha too much please give them a degree of leeway don’t stifle them
It’s the PG Era though
I know which is why I’m hoping they don’t get creatively stifled too much and then Chalrotte and Sasha go out and shut people up
My tickets for TLC came in the mail 3 days ago. Really excited.
Congrats hope you have a great time
Thanks
Nice!
Although I like Sasha more than Charolette, i think Charolette is the better wrestler.
Haven’t see Mark Henry in forever. Oh and Golden Truth.
Even Breezango
Apparently Fandango is “Missing”
What?? Like legit missing?
Nah storyline wise that’s why it’s in quotations
What??? Oh no. No more ‘Zango.
Ya Breeze is on the case though to find his partner
Yeah…….he ain’t coming back. ????
Lol why would you say something like that
????. Tyler would probably get lost in his own eyes looking for Dango. Fandango ain’t coming back.
Lol
OMG… All 3 are currently in the ring lol.
Haha. I was watching on a 5 minute delay lol
Break time this is the time you go to the bathroom get snacks or something to drink
is this Raw or Superstars?
lol
Honestly great question the banners and tron say RAW but this looks like a match for superstars
Well, the gripe has been that RAW doesn’t use their larger roster to the fullest, so that’s what they’re doing.
I think Golden Truth is not going over as well because it took too long to get them up there. So we love them but the novelty is worn. Sad actually. I wanted them to do so well.
Wow how ironic that they reach day 420 in Denver
Vince is a smart man.
So i ended up buying 2K17 today for my son
that’s cool man
Awwww. How excited was he?
Very excited. First thing he did was have a backstage brawl
That’s nice. Hope you plan on playing with him a lot.
I always play video games with him.
Trouble in Paradise!!! Kofi-Kingston-Pun Intended. Yah know since the New Day is up next…. Never mindm
great so Stephanie is accepting the Raw vs Smackdown challenge perfect
To do otherwise would have been stupid. Good on her.
hey guys with the rumor that the winner of Raw vs Smackdown could get 3 superstars from the losing brand would you be down with that?
Well that should give SD some extra motivation. We can’t lose no more people on #TeamBlue. It would be a great angle though.
I love the idea personally move Cesaro, Sami Zayn and I can’t think of a 3rd person right now but the first 2 would be the perfect two to move to Smackdown if they went through with that angle
Sami would get space to breathe and be used and Cesaro would be happy. I agree. I would actually move Enzo and Cass. I feel like they’re being underused on Raw and Shane would know exactly what to do with them.
I agree with this these stars are being underutilized I feel like Ceasro should have in the main event or going for the US Title and a rumor is going around that Sami is going to be Braun’s serious challenger and thanks to the new day going for the record of 478 days all the other tag teams mean nothing right now
Where did u hear this rumor?
https://wrestlingrumors.net/huge-stipulation-added-survivor-series-elimination-match-raw-smackdown/
Lol @ .net
JeriKO is definitely on thin ice and Stephanie isn’t helping.
Fan of the Cesaro/Sheamus entrance
What did everyone think of styles losing to Ellsworth on smackdown last week
I think on the next match, Ellsworth needs to lean his head back during the Styles Clash… He nearly broke his neck last week.
I thought it was hilarious. A nice set up for Ambrose/Styles III.
Loved it. It moves the Styles/Ambrose feud along without hurting either of them. Since SD still has a couple of weeks before they really need to focus on Survivor Series, they can afford this.
Does anyone know the medical issue Becky lynch had
I HEARD pneumonia. Whatever it was, it was bad enough for her to need to go to the hospital.
Ok thanks
what is pneumonia?
It’s fluid in your lungs. If not treated, it can get very dangerous. She wouldn’t be able to compete, which is why she wasn’t at No Mercy.
i just checked that condition ironically myself damn just very scary for Becky i hope she can get healthy and hopefully this is not a consistent issue for her
Becky is young. Her white blood cells can overcome the pneumonia a lot faster than an old person. Young people hardly ever die from the pneumonia
No, this isn’t a chronic condition. You can develop it and have no idea. As long as she takes the anti-biotics and rests, she’ll be fine.
it still worries me as a fan anytime you hear injury and hospital it’s like god damn not another one
This isn’t an injury though. She got sick and couldn’t compete. You can develop pneumonia and not know it until you can’t catch your breat, it happened to my dad.
oh damn…didn’t know
I know multiple people who caught the pneumonia before.
Lol @ The Best Brogue Kick Ever.
you know last night I was watching the WWE 2K17 pre-order trailer I did not see it live cause I was out that night but had I seen it live idk if you picked it up but you could get the hints it was Goldberg before they blew the door wide open in the trailer
Yeah.. It had “whos next”
Heard so much about Goldberg. Can wait to actually see him for myself.
Did u not watch him when you were younger?
I kinda can’t wait either like what’s all the hype about
Well 1 thing that people need to understand is that he’s a 50 year old man. He is nowhere near the same beast that he was 20 years ago when he was 30. If i were you guys, i really wouldnt expect too much. From my understanding, he’s just having 1 match at Survivor Series and then he’s gone after that.
Well, to be fair, Undertaker is about that and his last match was in 2014. Rock is nearly 45. But then those two never stopped and then then again wrestling is scripted. So maybe they’ll make him look beastish or he’ll be physically ready. Was it a physical ailment that made him leave or what?
I understand that but the Undertaker of 2014 is nowhere near the same caliber of The Undertaker from 2004. Not even close.
Honestly i dont know why Goldberg left. I watched WCW/WWF monday night wars as a young kid but i stopped watching wrestling before WCW was bought by Vince.
True @ Undertaker point. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Interesting, it will be.
No. I only recently started watching wrestling. About 5 years. So, I don’t know much about him.
Goldberg vs Lesnar is like the one super match like with Mayweather vs Pacquiao in a way that needs to be played back and redone
Anyone else both frightened and concerned for Bo??? This direction though….
I like the new direction. More aggressive.
Bo Dallas, ladies and gentlemen. #Bruh
Preshow match for HIAC?
Who? Bo and Curtis?
Ya
Hmmmm. I can see it.
oh there is a chat today.. nice
Hey sorry I’m late! Just got caught up on the show. Hope everyone is having a great night so far!
#SparkleCrotch
Ha!
That made my night
Hi. Yes, sparklecrotch was a funny one.
and its dead….:(
Wow. Dana beat Bayley
…Dana botched that up badly
Was she supposed to win? lol
I was just thinking the same thing it looked like Bayley should have kicked out but it looks like Dana injuried Bayley
fuck i get concerned anytime i hear injury honestly so alarm siren going off in my head hopefully it was a botch and not a injury
Ineed to rewind it
yeah… BILL
Goldberg
Put some respek on Bill’s name, PAUL.
Hahaha. Havent heard thay in a lil while
Hahahaha! I ain’t gonna say it no mo’.
If Lesnar doesn’t think about Goldberg or care, then why are they insisting on this match?
top box-office attraction…i think Conor McGregor has something to say about it lol hey i had to get it in my fandom for both WWE and UFC makes me wonder who is the better box office attraction Conor or Brock
I think UFC has way more fans
no wonder fans have been leaving in droves since 2001 lol and ironically I’m checking the total gate and buyrates Conor and Brock each had for there PPV’s in the UFC to settle this question quick and painless
Let me know what you find out.
I’m only doing the PPV’s they have each respectively main evented but Conor does hold the FS1 viewership record for his fight with Denis Siver in January of 2015 last year i know that much
okay Brock Lesnar’s UFC Main Event PPV’S, November 2008 UFC 91 vs Randy Couture 1,010,000 PPV Buys with a over 4 Million Dollar Total Gate, July 2009 UFC 100 vs Frank Mir 1,600,000 PPV Buys with a over 5 Million Dollar Total Gate, July 2010 UFC 116 vs Shane Carwin 1,060,000 PPV Buys with a over 2 Million Dollar Total Gate, October 2010 UFC 121 vs Cain Velasquez 1,050,000 PPV Buys with a over 2 Million Dollar Total Gate and December 2011 UFC 141 vs Alistair Overeem 535,000 PPV Buys with a over 3 Million Dollar Total Gate
Anybody been enjoying WWE 2K17 as well?
I have I play it everyday
lol it’s a really good game. they made career and universe mode like an actual show
Ya I saw that and I was like damn this feels so real as of now I’m only playing my career mode
i just started and automatically got sent to Smackdown lol
For my career mode?
yeah. after the tutorial, they sent me straight to smackdown lol
Lol they sent me to RAW and put me in the tag team division
Goldberg v reigns would be better. Goldberg could put over reigns and the build could be a lot better
Squash match time
Oh boy. #SquashTime
Is that the name them boys picked???? Really????? OK then.
When is Sami coming out to challenge Braun
Ask and you shall receive. Lol!
are you psychic?
Nah it’s been rumored for sometime now
“Perhaps Not Jorge” – No Way Jose’s less terrifying cousin. ?????? Gold from Corey.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Please get this man some real competition
OLE OLE OLE
Wow
Sami vs Braun equals David vs Goliath
This has been rumored for sometime now
Braun Stroman has to beat Sami, right? Logically he has to win, right?
Yes that’s what’s going to happen herevery sorry guys but Sami will be his stepping stone
So is Lana’s wrestling career over or what?
I hope not I love her wrestling gear
smh… she hasn’t wrestled live since WM
I thought she did an NXT Live Event
my bad… i meant like on TV
She only had that one match everyone was waiting for the Dolph/Lana vs Rusev/Summer match but that never happened then they turned Brie vs Lana into a 12 women’s tag match at Mania and she barely did anything like come on we need more of Lana in the ring
I don’t think they gave her a large enough push in the first instance. She needed a bigger push. At least for a show like Raw.
very true
Sami is D-E-D. Ded!!!!
yo TexasBuck you want those PPV numbers for Brock and Conor i was talking about?
Yes
well first up is Brock, okay Brock Lesnar’s UFC Main Event PPV’S, November 2008 UFC 91 vs Randy Couture 1,010,000 PPV Buys with a over 4 Million Dollar Total Gate, July 2009 UFC 100 vs Frank Mir 1,600,000 PPV Buys with a over 5 Million Dollar Total Gate, July 2010 UFC 116 vs Shane Carwin 1,060,000 PPV Buys with a over 2 Million Dollar Total Gate, October 2010 UFC 121 vs Cain Velasquez 1,050,000 PPV Buys with a over 2 Million Dollar Total Gate and December 2011 UFC 141 vs Alistair Overeem 535,000 PPV Buys with a over 3 Million Dollar Total Gate
Compared to Conor?
Conor’s PPV Main Events which is a lot shorter but still very impressive July 2015 UFC 189 vs Chad Mendes 825,000 PPV Buys with a over 7 Million Dollar Total Gate, December 2015 UFC 194 vs Jose Aldo 1,400,000 PPV Buys with a over 10 Million Dollar Gate, March 5th 2016 UFC 196 vs Nate Diaz 1,600,000 PPV Buys with a over 8 Million Dollar Gate and August 20th 2016 UFC 202 vs Nate Diaz in there second fight 1,650,000 PPV Buys the highest bought PPV in UFC history with a over 7 Million Dollar Total Gate and as for UFC 205 question marks for now
Looks like Brock over Conor
in terms of number of PPV’s main evented yes but for total gates Conor’s got Brock beat honestly in my opinion
and it’s going to be very interesting to see if Conor breaks his own record with UFC 205 which is in MSG and i am really looking forward to that PPV honestly
Rusev’s beard is….
Rusev looks like Sabertooth on steroids.
What is on Rusev’s face
Thank you Stone Cold for that stupid “What?” chant
How does this help the fued
*talks about people being uncivilized*
“My family ARE….. ” #Bruh #Boy
That is the ugliest dog I have ever seen!
Oh snap! Roman with the decent clapback!
he’s been doing good lately. proud of my boy lol
Extremely proud!!!!
Lana is so beyond the slap and run. Please WWE, let this girl wrestle.
she would fit right in with the Raw women’s division
Yep.
What. In the pink hell. Is Enzo wearing?????
I freaking love Brian Kendrick #ManWithThePlan
at least Goldberg is closing out this crappy as hell Raw
yeah like what is even happening? haha
like i asked earlier is this Raw or just a 3 hour superstars yet Goldberg is going to be the only moment worth watching on Monday Night Superstars lol
hahaha i’ll go with the second option
you know what October 17th 2016 Monday Night Raw…YOU JUST MADE THE LIST
Lol
oh Texas are you laughing you know what’s gonna happen? huh you know what’s gonna happen? Texas…YOU JUST MADE THE LIST
O_O
I honestly forgot about the Sasha/Lita interview
that’s how boring Monday Night Superstars has been
Get this is fell asleep and woke up and Enzo and Cass were coming out to face the club did I miss anything
Nope
Ok good
30 mins left of RAW and we still have the Sasha/Lita interview 6man cruiserweight match and the return of Goldberg like really come on
I hate hearing the phrases “Raw Women’s Championship” “Smackdown Tag Team Championship” etc… It just makes me cringe
Sasha cuts the same promo every week. “Ever since I was a little girl” “I’m doing for that little girl (insert number) years ago” “I was born to do this”
TJ Perkins is the man
I see that they pat down the cruiserweight wrestlers but not the other wrestlers
This swann guy is pretty good
Captain’s Hook? Like a…..like a pirate????
I was thinking the same thing lol
I love heel!Kendrick!
what the heck was that?
That……was weird.
My inner perv-ness made me watch Steph jumping high five in slow motion. Dont judge me.
Yay! Survivor Series challenge accepted!!
Bruno not impressed with Hogan? Wow, what a statement
Kids have no idea who Bruno is…… Kids know who Hulk Hogan is.
A lot of old school guys weren’t impressed with Hogan.
Little green monster thing or legit concern that Hulk was over hyped? What do y’all think?
probably overhyped… which is arguable
I was 5 years old watching Hogan (before NWO) on WC-Dubya and he was my hero(Sting too). I cant overlook that. Hogan is a certified legend.
it feels like Raw is scared to compete with Smackdown
Vince let them know that they are in competition no matter what.
in the sense of the Raw creative teams knows Smackdown is gonna be so much better that they probably just decided “Ya we’ll write a crappy Raw even though we got Goldberg” who is bringing back a lot of fans who have fans who have not watched WWE in a long time
Only ratings and viewership will prove that statement. If ratings dony change, or worse, lower than last week…. Goldberg did nothing.
Please give James a theme song for tomorrow night God willing. Please, please, please!!!????
Yes, Cole. We were all there, Cole.
Lol
COLE SHUT UP
Yes!
He’s here!!! Ermergerd!!!!! This is epic!!!!
The New Day lol
Nostalgia at its finest
just like old times
This is so awesome
He looks good for his age!!!
That little kid botched the fist bump lol
Yup. I noticed that too!!!!!! ????
Goldberg is so full of adrenaline that he prolly would’ve broken that kids wrist if he connected
Awwww. All the feelz!!!!!
Crowd is hype. I bet the energy is crazy over there
a crappy as hell Raw with a great moment to end it
Whos that old man they keep showing?
The governor of Denver
Ok. I was wondering
Governor
Aaaah
Goldberg seems little overwhelmed with the response he has getting
His son is crying tears of joy. Man!!!! Thats all Goldberg really wanted.
RAW running late tonight
I don’t mind!!! I do not mind!!!
Me neither.
So do you book Goldberg to win or lose at SS?
win
Interesting. If this is a 1 match deal… Brock should win.
fuck it have him win and make Goldberg as the only guy Brock can’t beat
Interesting.
GB is a legend. Let him have this seeing as we’ll never have this again.
That was cool
Brock is NEXT AND LAST
That was great and the crowd was awesome. I always love a good “holy shit” chant
Yassssss!!!!! LET’S GOOOOO!!!!!!
Goldberg doing it for the kids.
See u guys on smackdown
He must have goosebumps all over. That was awesome! That last segment was so real and well, raw. Awesome just awesome! See y’all tomorrow God willing for SD.
