Direct Impact Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 From Lords of Pain;  Tonight's WWE RAW Supershow will be a three-hour event from the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. Confirmed for tonight's show is the return of Vince McMahon as he evaluates John Laurinaitis.  Once again, WWE is not advertising Brock Lesnar or Triple H for tonight's show. Notable names still being advertised include Kelly Kelly and Alberto Del Rio, in addition to the usual Superstars. Matches advertised locally include John Cena vs. Big Show & John Laurinaitis plus CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan. WWE is teasing the following for tonight's show:  * More from the "Love Triangle from Hell" with CM Punk, Kane, Daniel Bryan and AJ Lee  * Will Vince McMahon fire John Laurinaitis?  * After recent singles losses, does Dolph Ziggler have a back-up plan for No Way Out?  * With Cena and Big Show in the same building for the first time in three weeks, what will happen going into No Way Out?  Former World Heavyweight Champion Vader was seen arriving in Hartford, Connecticut last night - the site of tonight's WWE RAW Supershow. No word yet if Vader is being brought in for tonight's RAW or some other WWE project like interviews for the Network.  So big 3 hour Raw tonight. Are people glad to see Vince return? I'm still confused with who's got what power in WWE. I'm hoping Vince backs JL, can't be doing with the usual humiliation - joining the Kiss My Ass Club.  Vader spotted near by Raw, I wouldn't mind seeing him again, but hopefully if he is physically involved he's better than when we seen him a few years back against Batista.

ThePhenom Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 How on earth could they have a man literally kissing another man's bare arse on a PG rated show? Surely that would do wonders for Linda's campaign wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSeaTiger Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I want to know.....how can they have a "love triangle from hell" then list 4 people?! Hope vinny mac does something I interesting, Raw has been pretty stale past few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted June 11, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 Haven't watched the last three, but with Vin Man coming back and the small possibility of a Vader appearance tonight I might give it another go. Otherwise, do we need Punk v Bryan part 26? Also, does Ziggler even have a match scheduled for No Way Out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Do we need Punk v Bryan part 26? Â Possibly a dark match. Â I want to know.....how can they have a "love triangle from hell" then list 4 people?! Â Don't think that's their official wording, just the website that this was taken from. I doubt if it was official it'd say AJ Lee, seeing as she's never been called AJ Lee in WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loligan Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Punk V Bryan is such a good match but they are really hammering it to death. Vader is an odd name to see. Isnt he really fat these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted June 11, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 No motivation to stay up for Raw tonight, even with the early start. Not willing to put myself through three hours of the shit they've been serving up recently. Â Doubt Vader will be on the show to be honest, I reckon he's there on other business, if he's actually there at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted June 11, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 Vader is an odd name to see. Isnt he really fat these days? Â Further to that, he's pushing 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted June 11, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 Vader's son is/was in FCW, so he may be there to watch him or something. Â I've craved a bit of Vinnie Mac madness for months, so I'm watching this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffingtonClyro Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Vader is an odd name to see. Isnt he really fat these days? Â Further to that, he's pushing 60. Â He's lost a lot of weight supposedly, and I don't think age matters does it? Otherwise we wouldn't be seeing Mae Young every special that they do. By definition a living legend is going to be pretty old. I'm looking forward to this. I take it, it starts at one? I need be up by eleven tomorrow so don't know if I should risk watching it. Vinny Mac returning could be great or spectacularly dull, depending on what he says and does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted June 11, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 Mae Young does a crazy old woman comedy gimmick, though. Vader is known as a physically-dominating monster, that's what his use is. I don't see him having that use as he approaches pensionable age.

I don't see him having that use as he approaches pensionable age. Â Sorry, I don't understand. He's not being booked in a heavyweight title match as far as I know, he's there for a nostalgia kick. Just like Hacksaw, Sgt Slaughter and the like. Nothing more nothing less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted June 11, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 They should have Ryback kick the shit out of him. Vader looks like Greengrass off Heartbeat now, so he's either getting a kicking or setting a bit of comedy. Vader was a bit of a laughing stock the last time we seen him.

Loligan Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 and the time before that as well. Remember when he got beat by Mark Henry and he said he was nothing but a fat piece of shit on ppv? Ended up being a bit of a whipping boy in WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Oh, I understand they're not going to push him to the moon. I suppose they point I've not made clear is that I don't see a 2012 WWE audience getting nostalgic about Vader in the same way they do for the likes of Duggan & Slaughter, so he serves no purpose whatsoever if he's no longer useful as a wrecking machine (which he clearly isn't).
