I am going to be watching this tonight in the dorm. Just told my friend we will probably see matches last longer than five minutes.

His reaction: :punk2

RAW IS JERICHO!!!!!!! Interested to see where (if anywhere) they take the Punk/Bryan/Kane/AJ stuff, or if Punk's changing directions and its just going ot be Bryan/Kane. Also, very midly interested to see where Cena goes now that the BIg JOhnny stuff is seemingly done.

Looking forward to Jericho. Not much else to look forward to as we head in to MITB. I think it was about a year ago today Punk cut that epic shoot promo. So who knows, maybe something big happens tonight? Highly doubt it though.

Jericho is back so we may get some surprises. Doubtful but maybe. Probably get some MITB build up tonight. Interested to see what kind of cluster f*** they throw Cena into next. Should be an ok show regardless.

Looking forward to seeing the RAW facts as usual!!!!

"Did you know, RAW is the top-rated wrestling-based Monday night programme on the USA Network"
"Did you know? Last week, Raw mentioned Twitter more times than any other show in TV history, beating the previous weeks episode of Raw by 12, with an amazing 268 Twitter mentions! #Relevant"

Jericho's returning, that's about the only thing I'm looking forward to on RAW tonight.

The Punk/Bryan/Kane/AJ stuff has also interested me, and I'm interested where they go with that storyline tonight. Probably it will just be between Bryan and Kane, depending on what happens with Punk.

With Vickie as GM, we'll probably be getting Punk/Ziggler for the title or at least Cena/Ziggler. Can't wait to see Ziggler sell the GTS by doing three backflips.

Oh, and yeah, this is pretty much the one-year anniversary show of Punk's worked shoot.

No, Raw will be saying this instead:

"Did you know that Raw was watched by more people than the Stanley Cup Finals?"

Or something else like:
"Did you know that in June, more people watched WWE events in the world than the NBA Finals"(yes, people should be aware that there were only 5 games of nba finals compared to 7 WWETV shows,plus all countries that get NXT/Superstars,combined with the attendances from all those tv events + live shows)

Knowing WWE though, it'd probably be like:
"Did you know that last week, WWE programming got over 7M viewers? That's more than the amount of people that watched both parts of NBCs Justin Bieber: All Around the World"

man if this Raw ends with Cena beating up some non wrestler or some joke of a match i might actually go on a break. Skip raw for a while until the go home show for Night of Champions since i'll be going.

Re: Official Raw 06-25-2012 Discussion: Jericho Returns

I'm going to be completely honest: WWE Monday Night RAW sucks. It's bad television. It has been that way for at least a year, sans one or two moments, which don't make up for the ridiculous amount of time given to us that is just terrible programming but I would argue it has been that way since about 2005.

That being said, the one constant question that comes up over the years is "if it sucks, why do you watch it?" and then people/posters try to make comparisons to other television shows like it's the same thing. "If Will & Grace sucks, would you keep watching it?" It's not the same thing. Will & Grace doesn't dictate, control and influence the ENTIRE industry that it is in.

You know why, even when I know that it will be bad, that I continue to tune-in to WWE Monday Night RAW, without fail, damn near every single week? Because I am a wrestling fan and, like it or not, RAW dictates the wrestling world. It is the wrestling show. The A-show from the A-company. Without RAW, you're out of the bubble for a week. If I miss RAW, I don't feel like my opinion is as valid around the internet on various message forums. Without RAW, a lot of the podcasts and radio shows that I listen to don't make as much sense or are talking about things that I didn't see. Without RAW, I always feel like I'm a week behind and can't catch up until I watch RAW.

Also, there's always the possibility, even if it seems to get slimmer and slimmer over the years, that WWE does something incredible that you don't want to miss live. I missed the C.M. Punk shoot interview last summer when it happened live and I kicked myself for missing it for quite some time. I had to watch it later on YouTube and it wasn't the same. I missed the immediate excitement over it and all my friends talking excitedly about it. Even just that first initial fifteen minute rush that came post-show, I hated myself for fucking up. I saw the debut of The Nexus live and it was great. I don't want to miss moments like those, when they happen live, regardless of how it plays out down the road.

I have been watching wrestling since, oh, 1987 or so I guess. I have been posting/talking about wrestling on-line since the end of 1998. Over that time, from 1987 to today, I have seen a lot of wrestling. WCW, ECW, TNA, AWA, NWA, Mid-South, Smoky Mountain, Memphis, AJPW, NJPW, CMLL, AAA, NOAH, FMW, XPW, Shimmer, SMASH, shit from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's... you name it. The one constant is that RAW will be on TV on Monday night and for better or worse, most wrestling fans will be watching it.

THAT is why I watch RAW.

Well said. This post should be it's own thread. I would rep you but it won't let me lol.
