Tonight is not only the go home Raw for the Survivor Series this Sunday night, but tonight... RAW GOES COUNTRY!

So what we can expect tonight is instead of attempting to build what is supposed to be one of your bigger shows of the year, we'll instead get a bunch of terrible country comedy segments involving 3MB, Santino, and Great Khali.  The Florida Georgia Line band will perform live.

Like I said, we're less than 7 days away from Suvivor Series.  Let's take a look at the card....

Vince and Co. wanted to blame the poor Summerslam buyrate on Daniel Bryan.  Well, what is their excuse going to be for Survivor Series because unless they shoot an out of this world angle tonight, this Sunday's PPV is going to BOMB.  I don't know anyone that is excited for Orton v Show.  Cena beat Del Rio clean last month coming off a serious injury.  Now Cena is healthy and the two are not even having a stipulation match.  And Punk and Bryan vs The Wyatts not named Bray isn't drawing any interest.

The card may be weak, but the scarier part is that there is ZERO undercard.  I'm not talking about they just haven't announced the matches but we have a pretty good idea of what the card will be.  I'm talking that there are literally no undercard programs that you can even project to matches at Survivor Series.  If they do decide to do a traditional Survivor Series match, it will just be random guys thrown together with no real reason.  WWE decided against a really fun 6 on 6 elimination match between Punk/Bryan/Usos/Rhodes Brothers vs The Shield and The Wyatts after the close of last week's Raw.  If they had something better planned for these guys, it would be one thing, but they don't.  Any match they put these guys in now will not be nearly as good or interesting as that 6 on 6 match.  Plans could still change tonight and the match could be made, but it seems unlikely.

Mickie James has been at NXT all week as a guest trainer.  No word on if she will return tonight, but with the country Raw gimmick, it seems like a natural fit.

I am going to Survivor Series on Sunday and like previous events I have attended, they are only as fun and enjoyable as you make them. I am looking forward to it because I have yet to have a bad time. I thank alcohol for most of that but the crowds we have sat around before have made it alot of fun as well.
 
It's pretty sad I didn't know this is the go-home show week. That shows how well they developed this card.
 
My little brother is stoked for Country Raw :smh: :x This is the same kid that has a Don't Tread on Me rubber case for his dip cans :lol: :smh:

3MB will come through with something funny I'm sure, don't know about anything else.
 
Man RAW has been horrible and I don't see this week being any better. So sad considering Survivor Series is a GREAT PPV when it is done right.
 
Said it in the last thread too, but....

Well wishes and thoughts to Case and the Mrs during her recovery.

- It was noted a few days ago that Vince McMahon is upset over the fact that WrestleMania XXX has no concrete plans yet. Now we know why.

Vince reportedly still wants The Rock to perform in New Orleans next year but The Rock won’t commit. Vince also wants Daniel Bryan vs. Shawn Michaels but Shawn won’t commit to coming out of retirement. Vince originally wanted Steve Austin vs. Triple H but Austin reportedly wanted too much money. The one match people assume is a done deal, Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker for The Streak, is still not 100%, according to a source. Word is that The Undertaker isn’t completely committed to a match with Lesnar at WrestleMania as he recovers from a recent surgery.

So with the top stars mentioned above still not locked in, Bill Goldberg has gained more leverage in financial terms as he negotiates with WWE. Word is that Vince is so upset and frustrated about not getting his way with several possible matches he has had in mind, that it’s bleeding over into negotiations with Goldberg.

It’s very interesting that we’re already late into November, with tickets on sale, and WrestleMania creative plans are so uncertain.

Not good!..... That's why I'm holding back on buying tickets to mania and booking the trip.
 
Thats how you come out pissed. Unlike HHH and Steph walking out holding hands smiling like everything was all good when they knew they was gonna rip everyone in the back. 
 
"Who the hell do you think you're talking to?

The face of this company and the WWE champion!"

Um... :lol:
