A special Christmas Eve edition of open mic. I don't expect a lot of action on the board tonight but to those of you that stop by I ask you to come out swinging but try to keep it clean.
I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season with the people you care about.
I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season with the people you care about.
May you all have a Merry Christmas, and a very enjoyable holidays. Especially you Princess, and the rest of the Royal Family.
ReplyDeleteNot going to see my family til tomorrow morning and the girlfriend is out of town for the week, so I'll actually be watching tonight (lord help me).
ReplyDeleteThank you dear. This is the first Christmas since my son was an infant that we're spending at home. It's always to my parents or my in-laws but this year we decided to stay home. Main reason: My husband and son wanted to put together a train set that goes through the front of the house. Boys...I will say the look and the smell of the tree are awesome and hanging up lights, doing all the decorations...I like Christmas at home.
ReplyDeleteWhat... what the hell was that? Did someone slip drugs into my dinner?
ReplyDelete"You killed Santa!"
ReplyDeleteHOL SHIT THAT SONG WAS TERRIBLY FUNNY
ReplyDeleteThe Fuj is in the building!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd now crime scene tape! This is the best start to RAW in a long time. What a shame hardly anyone is watching.
ReplyDeleteADR hit Santa Claus!?!??! WTF!!!
ReplyDeleteChristmas in Florida is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI miss it.
I remember getting a train set when I was a little kid, and it was fucking AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteOh, its gonna be one of those kind of shows
ReplyDeleteHeel turn for ADR... already
ReplyDeleteNow THIS is a manageable Raw live thread. We already went to a party, wife's a work, kid's sleeping, so I literally have nothing better to do than watch Raw. It's disturbing that so many kids are at Raw, but I did see the same girl twice.
ReplyDeleteDid the Del Rio face turn just never happen? Yeh, i've totally forgotten, Vince.
ReplyDeleteYeh. I get the sense I really shouldn't be watching this... Divas gimmick match is always a bad sign.
ReplyDeleteNice psychology by cody
ReplyDeleteTamina walks and looks like a man in that Santa dress.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget, this Raw was taped last Tuesday night after Smackdown here in Pittsburgh.
ReplyDeleteI read they apparently taped all the live segments in about 90 minutes and spliced in the backstage angles later on so as to not completely kill the crowd.
Terrible Rock/Rumble commercial.
ReplyDeleteI SAID THE SAME THING.
ReplyDeleteDid you know: Tamina is the daughter of Jimm Snuka>?
You can tell this show has been post produced. NOBODY IS RESPONDING TO THE DIVAS MATCH, but i swear i was watching Mickie/Trish WM 22,
ReplyDeleteOh God; they did a two hour, commercial- free SD, then taped a Raw? Even if Raw was 90 minutes, that's still three 1/2 solid hours of this stuff. WCW's double tapings in its last days sound more appealing to me.
ReplyDeleteThis commentary would make 12-year-olds embarrassed to watch this.
ReplyDeleteKayfabe is dead - unless it deals with Santa.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't they just run some good shit from the Vault and give the talent a couple weeks off? Not like ratings would change significantly for a holiday show anyway. Heal some injuries, rest some bodies before the push to Wrestlemania?
ReplyDeleteDolph/AJ skit was terrible... but i hope they give Dolph the superkick.
ReplyDeleteI hope they do the skit from 'American Dad' and Santa comes back for revenge.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder "Arn-dorf" turned heel:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyuKfO5wUHs
I was just thinking that same thing, actually.
ReplyDeleteI mean, it could even tie into the current product. For example: do a special on all the great title reigns in history, to really drive home the importance of Punk's current reign. Or just a "year in review" kind of deal to wrap up 2012?
ReplyDeleteSheamus/Show:
ReplyDeleteWhats the point of hitting ur own chest setting up the kick if minutes earlier Show chopped ur chest?!
This crowd reminds me of the crowds at the oldRichfield Coliseum in Cleveland... 4 hour shows of DEATH
ReplyDeleteYeah, I had some friends who went. It clocked in at about 4 hours with the dark matches.
ReplyDeleteThe guy who is in charge of piping in audio is earning his salary for this one.
ReplyDeleteOr gal. I guess it could be a gal.
ReplyDeleteSanta vs. Del Rio at 'Mania?
ReplyDeleteCould do a huge gate at the North Pole.
ReplyDeleteHow is it legal when Sheamus ties a guy up in the ropes and hit them 10 times? Shouldn't he be DQ'd after the 5?
ReplyDeleteThey are piping in LETS GO RYDER/WOO WOOO WOOO, like anyone gives a fuck about ryder these days.
ReplyDeleteWait, did Zack Ryder actually win a match???
ReplyDeleteIT'S A FESTIVUS MIRACLE!!!
Cesaro is the future.
ReplyDeleteThat is all
Theae AJ/Zig segs are killing me. Are we meant to think this is at home or...? I just don't likes this pairing. Just as Dolph sheds a tired female act, he picks up another.
ReplyDeleteSanta has replaced Sting as the victim of the sudden inexplicable face turn.
ReplyDeleteLets see where it goes.?
ReplyDeleteis that how it goes?
Brad Maddox =/= Joey Ryan??!
ReplyDeleteIn a legit fight, I'm pretty sure every single WWE wrestler and diva could take Khali.
ReplyDeleteCrowd sounded Attitude Era but looked like the Showboat with dozy kids during the Miz/Kofi celebration.
ReplyDeleteJesus.. this show is just dragging!
ReplyDeleteWell, we'll see how it goes, I guess..!
ReplyDeletei feel so bad for khali... its so sad to see him walk around the ring.
ReplyDeleteOTOH, Maddox can sell.
Man, I hope so. Get that dude a killer angle, stat!
ReplyDeleteI'd be amused if they were piping "Here We Go, Steelers" chants.
ReplyDeleteHas to be a rib
ReplyDeleteWouldn't mind seeing him against Sheamus
ReplyDelete"Here kid, stick this needle in your ass, that's how!"
ReplyDeleteHilarious, the first raw of 2013 will be the date you all can look to as the day ryback was labeled a choker.
ReplyDeleteI don't get the handling of Sheamus at all. It's not as if WWE has no idea how to book a tough guy character.
ReplyDeleteIf WWE is PG / family entertainment, why do they show creepy horror trailers during their programming?
ReplyDeleteNo, that brand of idiocy breaks out during every Pittsburgh taping.
ReplyDeleteIf Im Punk, Id just bury the sot out of RYback everytime i touch the microphone just for shits and giggles cuz he is terrible.
ReplyDeleteJust terrible
Been to concerts in Pittsburgh where that has happened. Pathetic.
ReplyDeleteyou thought it was crappy!? i wont goto the movies to see it, but its definitely worth a netflix watch
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Side Russian Legsweep/roll through.
ReplyDeleteFINALLY THE PTPS!!!
ReplyDeleteTitus O'Neil is the future as well.
Future endeavored, more likely.
ReplyDeleteHope not, he is hilarious
ReplyDeleteThe east coast sucks. How do people live in this weather. Plus the weed is so so. I don't know how I lasted 18 years here. I'm freezing at a bar wondering if I should have stayed at my parents and watched raw.
ReplyDeleteCreepy.
ReplyDeleteThe east coast does suck.
ReplyDeletebut the weed doesnt. at least the weed ive fucked with.
ReplyDeleteOnly fuck with that KESHA!
Yeah... I dont think ill be back next week for RAW, this is just insanely terrible.
ReplyDeletelol my bad... i saw crappy lol
ReplyDeleteThe kayfabe Santa storyline might be a new low in stupidity for the year.
ReplyDeleteThis episode honestly feels like its written for preschoolers aside from the AJ/Ziggler romance and horror trailer.
See you next week!
ReplyDeleteBite your tongue. I fux with that bubblegum kush and white rhino on occasion.
ReplyDelete^You right, I havent been in a Live RAW thread in months.
ReplyDeleteI'm used to walking into the point loma patients assoc and getting anything I want. I should have brought more edibles on the plane though. I bought a $50 eighth of some indoor Canadian yesterday to tid me over while I'm back in new England till Thursday. Not impressed really. But the weather really sucks
ReplyDeleteThis street fight is TNA levels of bad with the gimmicks...
ReplyDeleteDepends on where. As much as I hate the cold, I love the NY/NJ area for all the sports and things there are to do here. Summers I like the south.
ReplyDeleteMove to cali, join a dispensary, fuck with it daily!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of that Vince Russo booked match with Booker T and (I think Double J)
ReplyDelete...OK that was funny.
ReplyDelete49ers match, IIRC
ReplyDeleteToo hot for me. I like 70 and sunny no matter the season
ReplyDeletethe only reason to move to cali, is for the bitches. every cali bitch i fucked in the service was fun as shit.
ReplyDeleteI went to Florida in January of last year and it was 45 degrees. Crazy. Still was warmer than Jersey.
ReplyDeleteJohn Cena is Kevin McCallister in Home Alone 5.
ReplyDeleteSomeone's been watching old ECW tapes.
ReplyDeleteSuck Fports.
ReplyDeleteIm from Cleveland,
I can't be too upset with this. Christmas Eve is as much of a throwaway night as there can be.
ReplyDeleteJust read an article about Lebron James considering going "home" to Cleveland in 2014.
ReplyDeleteThe Teddy bear spot was funny.
ReplyDeleteYou're completely right, of course, but I get the feeling they're hoarding that kind of material for DVDs and/or the Network.
ReplyDeleteWhatever. ill believe it when i see it.
ReplyDeleteSoooo yeah, is Del Rio a heel again? Were the last two weeks a Dallas-like dream?
ReplyDeleteYes great women, pretty and down to earth but...there's hot girls in other places too. Can't fuck with our weed and weather anywhere. It's the best. (I'm specifically referring to socal but its nice up north too)
ReplyDeleteI would love to be in the meeting between Dan Gilbert and Lebron when they are talking about it.
ReplyDeleteNaw... Cali aint better than Florida
ReplyDeleteCali weed ain't bad. LOVE their women. I would seriously consider moving there.
ReplyDeleteBecause Vince loses gate revenue, which means loss of MONEY! And we can't have that, can we?
ReplyDeleteI think cuz of the taping schedule.
ReplyDelete^this guy gets it.
ReplyDeleteKyries nice though
ReplyDeleteBetter rap scene though
ReplyDeleteI actually want him to stay and rebuild the franchise.
ReplyDeleteOur backcourt is nice.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this show filmed after Smackdown? He already got the gate.
ReplyDeleteIll give you the visual.
ReplyDeleteOral and Anal
Dion can ball toofor sure
ReplyDeleteCali is hbk and fl is rickey morton
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Which, Sean Price "MIC TYSON"
ReplyDeleteGET IT!
DAFUQ!??!
ReplyDeleteI heard the source on that was Dan Gilbert ;-)
ReplyDeleteWriters gonna write.
No. That would be the meeting with Pat Patterson and the wrestlers from NXT.
ReplyDeletePerfect analogy
ReplyDeleteYou never seen the things Lebron gets behind.
ReplyDelete-Says the mofo from Cali.
ReplyDeleteBut FL has no state tax, cost of living is less and Miami is the gateway to---everything!
ReplyDeleteThat album fucking rules. Maybe 2013 brings the ruck and rock reunion. Sean p isthe shit
ReplyDelete^THIS GUY GETS IT!
ReplyDelete*nods head*
ReplyDeletelove this album. damn near perfect
ReplyDeleteWe know one of them is not anyone from Hair Club for Men.
ReplyDeleteLol
ReplyDeleteBully rap, bar-barian and title track are my faves but I love the whole album.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely cheaper to live in fl. But I'll takemy current home town of san diego over miami anytime
ReplyDeleteSan Diaaago is nice, but back your analogy, Miami is at least Razor Ramon. Ricky Morton is a bit harsh. I can easily make the argument that there are more hot women in Miami per square foot than not only in the US, but the world. That my friend, is not hyperbole.
ReplyDeleteWhat about their programming makes you think they have even the slightest idea who their audience is? In the past year we've had multiple appearances by Larry King, the muppets, the three stooges (in character, no less), Cyndi Lauper (yeah, historical connections but really?), and the friggin subway guy. They think they're touching base with "everyone" in the audience but they're slowly losing audience because of the miscalculated hodgepodge of schizophrenic hallucinations. Somebody borrowed an ungimmicked spin the wheel, make the deal wheel and threw up all over it in a random pop culture menagerie
ReplyDeleteI like those BBQ sauce and STFU 2
ReplyDeleteHaven't been there in a decade, but had a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteHey ricky morton was pretty good lol, we have plenty of hot girls here but honestly there's more in la anyways but we have way better weather than miami
ReplyDeleteHe was great at taking an ass-kicking, no doubt. However, Miami has at least one world singles title, not just an outdated companies tag belt. LA is so large though. Miami Beach is actually not so big, geographically, but the amount of hot women that is packed into that small city is unreal. I like Cali, just wouldn't want to live there, sorry. Too much of my money would be taken from my paycheck.
ReplyDeleteRicky wouldn't work for the city of miami but thr state of fl...oh yeah lol. His selling skills=Miami, his mullet could be Jacksonville, the promos...well you get my drift
ReplyDeletelol, good points.
ReplyDeleteRaw sucked! /tapedcommentfromlastweek'sopenmic
ReplyDeleteWell I legitimately fell asleep for two hours thanks to this show, so thanks, WWE, I guess. I needed that.
ReplyDeleteSoCal sucks, LA is a blighted mess of a city filled with assholes and criminals.
ReplyDeleteNorCal has y'know...trees...
It's ok. You and I seem to have had the run of the board tonight. Can't wait for next week since I'll probably be watching Raw again thanks to an early work day on New Year's.
ReplyDeleteNorCal has the White Girl Mob...
ReplyDeleteIts a fucking push.
That Kane-Bryan segment was gold
ReplyDeleteyou sound like patrick bateman or the new batman... its a fucking push
ReplyDeleteLa is actually way cool, but I live in sd and nowhere is better. But I do get that socal isn't for everyone...definitely for me though.
ReplyDeleteCall me an idiot, but I loved the show - reminded me of the stuff I grew up watching. Sure, some parts didn't mesh well (such as everybody BUT Cena being legitimately worried about Santa's health), but I really dug what they were going for.
ReplyDeleteThat said... where the Hell were Langston and "The Shield"? And while I understand that the timing of ADR's face-turn didn't jive with this pre-taped show, it really begs the question why they would even put themselves into that situation in the first place; just goes to show how little planning goes into the on-screen product. They easily could have delayed his face-turn until after this show aired.
I was at this show live (taped the same night as last week's live SD), and personally, my friend and I found the stuff with Santa being hit to be pretty damn funny b/c of the wrestlers' reactions. Ricardo's inability to talk through hysterical tears, Alberto pleading that it was an accident, and most of all Cena's "SAAAANNNNTTTTAAAAAAA!!!" were awesome live. Not sure how it came across on TV, but live it was a hoot.
ReplyDeleteThe entire Christmas Eve Raw was a fun show simply b/c it was different. The stage set up with the tree and the fire etc. were cool. Live, the lumberjack match seemed pretty plodding to us, but maybe it came across better on TV. Nice touch as Punk made sure to wear different street clothes compared to his earlier SD interview just a couple of hours beforehand.
In all, the double taping was actually pretty fun. It was boring for a lot of the 1st part of SD, but for some reason things picked up in the middle of the 6 man SD match (about an hour into the show), and from that point on in the show, my friend and I just had a ball. I think it was actually one of the better shows I've been to, regardless of how it came across on TV.
I actually was at a taping a few years ago where it didn't happen. I was very surprised.
ReplyDeletethat's the kind of thing one expects from indys, not the WWE
ReplyDeleteBetter food, (mostly) better women, prettier terrain. It's not a push, it's a fucking nuke.
ReplyDeleteLA does have better hip-hop, (Hopsin is my main non-east coast rapper right now), but don't tell me LA has better music than the Bay.
I live in Long Beach and was born in Berkley. I miss trees man.
ReplyDelete
