Well in advance? It was one week, and people don't know what segment he's going to be on. HBK should have started the show, not a "debate" that probably had a lot of people changing the channel before giving it a chance.

and then they came back to see the worst angle in years with Kane/Cena/Eve/Ryder/Whatever the fuck

Ahh, during the time I had stopped watching. Still that is a long time without an injury or time off. He's been on pretty much every Raw since. He hasn't even taken a month off.
Well he's workaholic and he's making bank being required to be the beginning and end of the show as well.
 
Wait wait wait... Did Daniel Bryan injure Orton or is WWE covering up a different injury?

WWE.com said:
WWE medical personnel have confirmed that Randy Orton suffered a concussion on Raw SuperShow when World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan smashed Orton over the head with his title.

"Randy sustained head trauma following his match with Big Show, in which Daniel Bryan interfered, and he was evaluated in the training room immediately afterward," WWE physician Dr. Michael Sampson told WWE.com. "Due to his symptoms as well as his neurological evaluation, he was diagnosed with a concussion. We will be doing more testing to see how he's going to do as far as short term vs. long term."

Orton will not be cleared to compete in the World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber Match this Sunday.

Please tell me D.Bry didn't injure Orton. I don't want him to get fired. :(

Probably during the match.

Like when Mr. Kennedy injured Cena and Orton got the blame in kayfabe because he attacked him after the match. Either way, we'll find out on Sunday.

BTW, the second hour with all of the shenanigans actually outdrew the first hour with 4.30 million viewers vs. 3.9 mil for the first hour. They've really got to come up with a new ratings system. RAW averages essentially the same number of viewers for the most part each week, but the ratings change based on the overall number of viewers.

Ugh... I wish I didn't just delete Raw off my DVR. Now I want to watch it again to see if I can pinpoint a possible moment of injury. :/

So what you're saying is we should rename the system the "Kane Ratings?" How about call the show Monday Night Kane? Kane wrestles in every match while conducting psychological exams on his opponents? Kane vs. Kane for Undertaker's streak at Wrestlemania? Kane goes to Maury to find out if Eve's baby is his or Cena's? If Kane runs a red light in his amber lamps, but no cop is around to see it, does it make a sound?

IS THAT ENOUGH KANE FOR YOU? HUH? YEAH, WE GET IT SOUL PLAYA, OVERALL VIEWERS WENT UP DURING KANE'S CRAP, STOP RUBBING IT IN.

GOSH.
 
Orton was injured during the Big Show botch. It's believed he re-injured his back. I figured he probably came back too early. They used the belt shot as the kayfabe reason.

Kane and Triple H need to main event Wrestlemania, is what he's saying.

Dude, I love you. That shit had me rolling in laughter, lol.

BTW, here's something weird I noticed. Look at this video of Rock and Coach at ESPN. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hob6eqT1tE

Coach is taller than the Rock, but always appeared shorter in their segments. They must have had Rock on a block, or had Coach kneel or something.

It really made no sense for him to come back early honestly. I mean, it would have made sense if he was winning the rumble, otherwise why bring him back on the Smackdown before the rumble?
 
Smackdown Spoilers:

Teddy Long informed Daniel Bryan that Randy Orton had a concussion and therefore would be competing against him. Esequiel mentioned there were security guards stationed outside the office as Teddy told Bryan.

1. Great Khali and Big Show vs. Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett. Khali and Show won after Khali chokeslammed Barrett. Show knocked Khali out during the post-match celebration.

Backstage, a returned Mark Henry was lobbying Teddy Long to put him in the Elimination Chamber match. Show came in and demanded a match vs. Daniel Bryan tonight. He ended up knocking Henry out and trashing Long's office. Long told the security team to escort Big Show out if they saw him. Security said they weren't getting near that giant. Long told them to step up.

2. Hunico defeated Ted DiBiase. Hunico won with a roll-up.

3. Epico and Primo defeated the Usos. Primo scored the pinfall with a backstabber.

Daniel Bryan cut a promo in the ring about what he did on Raw. He said Big Show and Orton were afraid to come out. He said come Sunday, he would still be World Champion. He told Lilian to announce him the winner of the main event by forfeit, but Teddy Long came out and announce Bryan would face Sheamus instead.

4. Daniel Bryan defeated Sheamus by disqualification. Bryan spit in Sheamus's face and Sheamus went crazy. The ref tried to hold him back, but Sheamus pushed him to cause the DQ.

Backstage, Cody and Barrett asked Teddy who was taking Orton's place in the Chamber match. Teddy said they were going to have a battle royal and the winner would take the final spot. He said anyone from any brand could compete.

You know, you gave me an idea Net. How about we have an all Kane elimination chamber with Kanes from different eras in his career, and their outfits. We could explain it away by saying that the current Kane wasn't enough to get everyone to embrace the hate, so he used a time machine to bring in other Kanes to aid him in his cause. Along the way, however, dissension begins over who is the one true Kane, so they have an EC to decide it.

Or, how about this? Kane's from different time periods? Colonial Kane? Renaissance Kane? Early cave man Kane? Black Plague Kane? Civil War Kane? Industrial Revolution Kane? Nazi Kane? Early Harlem Hip Hop movement Kane? 90's apathetic teenager Kane? The possibilities are endless!

Think of it man. I mean, the ratings* would skyrocket! What do you think?

It could be like that Jet Li movie "The One," where Kane has to kill all the other Kanes to become the strongest Kane there is.

Y'know what, Mr. Playa, if they're going in this ridiculous direction, they might as well go all the way. I won't like it, but with a Kane Time Travel Elimination Chamber, I'll just have to Embrace The Stupidity.

I will come to regret this because I KNOW WWE Creative™ reads this thread.

Imagine if the whole show was just Kane, even the commentators, announcers, GM, crew guys. The opening music was just Kane's theme with clips of Kane. With this idea, that can actually happen! The rest of the roster can be on NXT to see who gets the honor of being able to get a ticket to RAW to sit in the audience and actually watch Kane compete against another Kane. The title could then be called the Undisputed Kane title, with whoever holding it being declared the one true Kane for his reign.

Wouldn't that just be great?
 
Looks like Lagana officially took Russo's spot:

"TNA appears to have promoted Dave Lagana to the position of "Director of Creative Writing at TNA Wrestling." Lagana is currently using that job title on his personal social networking accounts. Bruce Prichard remains the head of creative with the title of Senior Vice President of Programming and Talent Relations."

"Eric Bischoff posted the following on his twitter page

Welcome David Lagana! Had the opportunity to work with David in WWE and learned to respect his knowledge of story structure and detail."


Supposedly there won't be any storyline changes from what they set up last October. For those that don't know, TNA usually sets up 6 months of storylines at a time and doesn't change from those plans. So any new storyline directions most likely won't happen until after Lockdown in April.

I share a birth month with a freakin KANEanite. Unbelievable.

YOU DISGRACE THOSE BORN IN THE MONTH OF THE GOD OF WAR.
You probably just dislike Kane because he wouldn't sign an autograph for you when you were a little kid, so you ran home crying and tore all the Kane posters off your wall. It's time to let that go, man. He was probably just running late for something. He didn't mean to break your little heart.

So why would you bring in another injured guy to sub for an injured guy?

Put someone else in there. Anybody. Why not Hunico? He's damn good in the ring. He would totally fit in that Smackdown Elimination Chamber match.

EDIT: Alternatively, you DO have a United States champion. Stick Swagger in the Chamber.

Long was on the phone backstage and John Laurinaitis walked up. He said Teddy needed someone with charisma in the battle royale and entered David Otunga. Teddy wished him luck.

6. Tamina and Alicia Fox defeated Beth Phoenix and Natalya. Tamina pinned Natalya for the win.

7. Santino Marella won a battle royal to claim Randy Orton's spot in the Elimination Chamber. The final four were Santino, Drew McIntyre, Ezekiel Jackson, and David Otunga. Drew was eliminated first, followed by Zeke. Crowd went nuts for Santino win.
