WWE RAW SuperShow - February 20, 2012

PREVIEW UNAVAILABLE

---------------------------------------------------------------

Punk retained, Phoenix retained, Swagger retained. Next up, WrestleMania!

Hey cool, they gave a boring diva a personality.

It's a cliche one-dimensional personality but it's something.

Weird way to open up Raw but that was a good promo by Cena.

I have a feeling Eve will get "Hoeski" chants for the rest of her career.

Teddy Long sucks

So have we seen every single black wrestler so far tonight? Just pointing this out.

Metallica?

Taker to HHH: "GIMMIE FUEL, GIMMIE FIRE, GIMMIE THE MATCH THAT I DESIRE!"

The HHH-Taker storyline blows so hard

So I usually defended the WHAT chants, especially when Truth started playing with the chants.

But don't f***ing WHAT the Undertaker.

Send this awful crowd to hell, Taker. And somebody punch those annoying douchebags that constantly yell "YOU SUCK" and "OVERRATED"

Taker/Triple H have replaced the Divas as my bathroom break

Edit: Not really because that would be one longass bathroom break. But Raw will improve significantly once they aren't taking up 20+ minutes per show with their boring s***.

Also Metallica sucks

JML, tell us how you really feel! Haha, that promo took way too long and was it me or did it seem Taker had to think about what to say often? 

Breaking news! Daniel Bryan is awesome!!! 

I would've gone tonight, but judging from what I've seen on TV in years' past, Minnesota crowds are obnoxious.

And I'm broke, but go with the first one.

and was it me or did it seem Taker had to think about what to say often?

ToTheBank

He's never really been a great promo. Paul Bearer gave him a lot of his mystique.

I love the attitude that Cena has tonight.

Cena's on fire tonight

Wow that was a hell of a promo right there.

Cena just went HAM.

Bow down, haters.

Damn! Missed the promo...I'll just rewind and watch later

 ABA Taker was fun to hear on the mic, phenom taker not as much

How much y'all wanna bet Punk takes a shot at Chris Brown? 

First time in like six years Punk wont be in the Money in the Bank match at Mania.

'Nuff Said.

Punks been on commentary for about two minutes and I have laughed more then I have all day.

Adam corolla, hahaha

 Camel fur...or something...that was hilarious!!!

 And he just owned Cole!!!! F yeah! 

Punk vs Jericho at WM.

MOTN. Calling it now.

I actually just thought the same thing. They are going to steal the show for sure.

It really bothers me that HHH says he and Undertaker are an end of an era. 'The only two'. Sorry Triple H there is another. His name is Jericho and he's been wrestling longer than you. I hope its just part of the storyline and not what he actually thinks.

Big Show, Mark Henry, and (obviously) Kane come to mind too.

Oh! I can't believe I forgot about Kane. Whoops!

Another thing that really REALLY bothers me is what John Cena says. Its like he completely forgot The Rock was in wrestling for many years and then became a star and the one of the biggest superstars of all time working his a$$ off just as hard as John Cena and then The Rock decided to leave. So what? Shawn Michaels left and he was THE greatest in WWE of all time. Does he have a beef with everyone that leaves or something. The Rock did not even have to come back and have one more match. We should be glad a legend is coming back to the ring to just give us one more match. When John Cena is 90 years of age, will he still be wrestling do you think? No he won't and if I really want I could hold his own words against him about leaving when he's too old to wrestle and say 'You left. What a complete scumbag'. I won't though because everyone has to leave sometime. Fact is that Rock worked his ass off to be seen as the legend he is and if he doesn't want to wrestle he doesn't want to. But he DID work as hard as Cena when he was at the top of his game and its very unfair for Cena to really have a beef with The Rock when one day Cena WILL leave too.

Wow, you're reading WAY too much into what he is saying of late. I'm sure he has nothing but the utmost respect for what Dwayne has done for this company. He's just trying to build-up this supposed "rivalry" by saying what he should be saying. Not saying Cena will become a heel (though it should happen), but it's pretty hard understanding what will come out of this "dream match" other than ratings/revenue.

What more was there for The Rock to do though? He has pretty much done everything. Maybe he would have won the championship 100 times like Cena will get to one day. That won't change the fact that there wasn't more for him to do except try and follow some other dreams because he fufilled his own dream and made his family proud. And as a fan I'm porud of what he achieved. Better to leave while your still credible than to over stay a visit and become stale.

Don't tell Ric Flair that one.

lol I'm only saying all this because (Backstage Rumours) suggest that Cena really does hold a grudge against Rock leaving. Ric Flair... Don't even get me started on him lol

Also Berret must have seriously been in pain to shout the F word multiple times. The funny part is that Ziggler looked like he got the worst off. Thats when you can tell who's injured and who's not. When a wrestler literally shouts in pain or just stops moving all together.

Here's the problem with Rock.

He left when he was at the top and disappeared. Gone. He didn't come back for visits, and over the years, he pushed away "The Rock" and started going by Dwayne Johnson. He had multiple interviews saying he's past wrestling and he's done. He's a big movie star. WELL, fast forward, and look. His movies start doing bad and he's stuck in some god awful roles, so he comes back to the WWE to promote Fast Five. Makes all these promises and entertains like only The Rock can... but disappears again.

I know you don't want him to overstay, but I'm sure you do, like me, want him to actually STAY for a decent amount of time. This coming for a short buildup and leaving is just awful. It's like we (the fans) that made him popular don't matter. He appears when he wants, instead of appearing when we wanted (and need) him.

I agree with Cena in all of this. Wether his beef is legit or not, I don't care. Cena is right. The Rock abandoned the wrestling fans, then spoonfed us bull when he came back, only to abandon us again. We're all fools for falling for it.

WWE.com has learned that during Raw SuperShow's 10-Man Battle Royal, Wade Barrett suffered an injury to his left arm.

The injury occurred following Barrett and R-Truth's elimination from the contest. As Truth and Barrett recovered from their eliminations on the outside, Big Show tossed Dolph Ziggler on top of them from the ring. The three Superstars were knocked backwards and Barrett landed awkwardly on his arm.

Wade Barrett is being taken to a nearby medical facility for further evaluation

The part that is going to bug me the most is when Rock and Cena inevitably shake hands afterwards. I do not want that to happen.

My biggest problem with the rock is the fact that he can go away for 7 years and then come back and automatically lock up the MAIN EVENT at Wrestlemania one year in advance like it's nothing, when other guys work their asses off every damn night traveling and havng muliple matches a week don't even get a chance to gain that right of having that main event spot

The Rock: "hey guys!! havent seen you in 7 years...i'm baaaack, go check out fast five and follow me on twitter...boots to asses....oh hey, is it cool if i have the main event at mania next year? it is? awesome...ok see you next year!!"

lol...i mean i love the rock as much as the next guy, but damn if Cena wasn't spot on with that promo yesterday

I wouldn't be so sure Rock/Cena is the main event. Rock/Hogan wasn't. I have a feeling they'll want to put a title match (Punk/Jericho) last.

It wouldn't surprise me either way.

After the way they handled the last ppv (poor match order imo), I'd be SHOCKED if Rock/Cena is not the last match.

JML897

it's been hyped for almost a year now....no way in hell is this match not the main event

the only argument for another main event you could make would be HHH/Taker IF and only IF taker loses....if Taker loses it's going to be a moment that theyre gonna wanna go off the air with so Taker can say his goodbyes once and for all

My only hope is that Cena gets cheers. Not necessarily as many cheers as The Rock, but at least some. Otherwise, what fun is there?

That's why it sucks that this is in Miami.

I'll be dissapointed if Rock shakes Cenas hand, he should Rock Bottom his ass. F**K Cena The Rock has Done Everything in WWE so of course he's moved on to other things. We don't need another Ric Flair who stays around after he's already done it all. The only reason Cena hasn't done the same is because he's a crap actor and he's not getting the offers Rock got. Rock didn't do a crappyWWE Movie, his first big role was in a Universal Pictures movie he hadone minor role before that.

And why is no one talking about Hell In A Cell! Its gonna be epic.
