Raw 1000

[Cutter15]

Anybody else notice the camera cut away from the ring for about 15 seconds after that happened? I think Kane and Taker were in there crackin up about it. There's no reason to take the camera off Taker for that long just after his return. Imagine if the cameras had caught Kane covering his face or Taker bending down to hide his embarrassment.

That Undertaker gif is quite possibly one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

There was a better one but I don't think it works anymore...

He was a cheerleader. Close enough?

Can you elaborate? You don't mean he was a Spirit Squad member, do you??

Kelly Kelly posted on a Twitter ahead of the 1,000th edition of Raw that she would be returning for the show. There was a divas segment pulled from the show featuring current divas due to time constraints.

I was actually wondering this too. They panned out the same way they've done previously when a fan had jumped the gate or something. I figure it was because taker was having an extremely difficult time taking off his shredder gear and obviously wwe didn't want the fans at home see the deadman awkwardly struggling.

I don't watch religiously anymore, and these lame gimmicks quickly fade from memory....

Re: Raw 1000

A little late in response, but I loved the show. I only came away disappointed in two things. First, that Stone Cold wasn't there. Would have loved to see a segment of him and the Rock in the ring together one more time. And the second is that the Rock can tell the world that he wants to be WWE Champion, then do absolutely nothing for months and is somehow awarded a title match at the Rumble. I wish WWE worked the story a little better there. It doesn't make sense. I mean, you have to figure that the Rock is going to be in action in some match before the Rumble. It wouldn't make sense for him to go into a match for the championship having not wrestled since WM28. So why didn't they put him into some contenders match later this year where if he wins he'll get to face the WWE Champion for the title at the Royal Rumble? Would've been much better and not have this "the Rock can do whatever he wants" feel like it does now.

Hey, you just gave me a thought. Maybe they'll use the Rock like Hulk Hogan back in the 1980's, and he'll only appear on PPVs defending the WWE title. It isn't ideal, but I can't really see the Rock becoming a full-time wrestler again.

1)Stone Cold wasn't there cause he just had knee surgery and didn't want to show up on crutches. (his words from his blog)

2)Agreed about the Rock.
