you do realize that you can Youtube the entire episode, right?

No I was not. Thanks for letting me know.

[nakedmadman]

yeah, there's several guys who do all the raws, smackdowns, NXT, and TnA on youtube. It might take a little bit of patience, as they're usually posted in several parts, but if you miss it and don't have a DVR, it's an option.

Yeah Impact was meh as always anyways.

* WWE Title Match: CM Punk vs. John Cena.

* Intercontinental Title Match: Christian vs. ???

* DX Reunion: This will open the show at 8EST.

* Sean Waltman (X-Pac) appeared on the Cowhead show on Friday and hinted that he will be at RAW on Monday night. Waltman said, "I can't foresee a DX reunion without X-Pac." WWE has been contacting numerous former talents this week so it's possible he'll be there. He had been tweeting in recent weeks that WWE had not contacted him. All signs are now pointing to a "full" DX reunion with Triple H, Shawn Michaels, The Road Dogg, Billy Gunn and X-Pac all appearing. That is not confirmed just yet but it is looking more and more likely. Chyna will not be appearing for obvious reasons.

* During a recent interview with The Miami Herald, Jerry Lawler was speaking abut the origin of the "puppies" line he had used for years. While doing so, he may have announced another surprise return for Monday's 1,000th RAW… "I actually got to give credit to a guy who I think will be returning on the 1,000th episode. It was a member of DX, Road Dogg (Jesse) James. I believe he was talking to Sable at the time. DX was in the ring, and Sable was in the ring, and somehow I believe Road Dogg said, ‘Hey, show us your puppies.' It kind of floated by. No big deal at that point and time, but then I started using the word a couple of weeks later, and it just stuck."

* Brock Lesnar returns and will confirm his match with Triple H at SummerSlam. Paul Heyman will be there with Lesnar.

* The Rock returns to WWE to address his quest for the WWE Title. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is rumored to be contemplating competing in a match or two before WrestleMania XXIX on April 7, 2013 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. An announcement could come as soon as Monday.

* There have been rumors for months that WWE was going to be doing a big summer angle that would get people talking. There is a lot of speculation that the angle will be kicked off Monday night, likely at the end of the show. There aren't many details going around at this time, as those within the company have been keeping tight lipped.

* Daniel Bryan and AJ will have a wedding.

* The announcement of a new permanent RAW General Manager.

* WWE Legends Bret Hart, Mick Foley and Roddy Piper are all confirmed to return.

* Roddy Piper posted the following, discussing whether or not he will appear at the 1,000th RAW… "If I go to Raw's 1000th episode I'm not doing lame work. Let me roll Vince. I'll show them why Raw's the longest running show!" As noted above, Piper is confirmed for next week's show.

* Local Advertisements in St. Louis are promoting Bret Hart to appear at Monday's 1,000th RAW. Hart was advertised a few weeks ago, but then there was no follow up. The new local ads that started to run this week pushed Hart as appearing. As noted above, Hart is confirmed for next week's show.

* Vince and Stephanie McMahon will appear on the show. Shane McMahon is said to be a long shot and Linda McMahon probably won't happen because of her ongoing Senate campaign trying to distance her from the WWE product. There will also be the usual "2nd tier" legends appearing as well.

* WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross discussed Monday's RAW 1,000 show on the Sports Illustrated Hot Clicks Podcast, and what he would like to contribute to the show: "It's kind of like a baseball player going to the All Star game in Kansas City. I'm just kind of waiting to see what the manager puts on the lineup card. I know I'm on the roster, I know I'm figured to do something, I'm just waiting to see where my name is penciled in. With an old guy like me who's been around the horn -- been weathered -- there's nothing that can be assigned that I probably haven't already done. In a perfect world I'd love to call a match, but that's not my call. But I'm ready to play, whatever they want me to do, I'm ready to roll."

* As most of you know by now, WWE's flagship program RAW will celebrate its 1000th episode this coming Monday. During her near seven-year run, Trish Stratus participated in 160 matches-the most of any female-and created many memorable moments along the way. The legendary grappler is recalling the memories on her official website, TrishStratus.com, as she ranks her top five moments and top five matches. The quintessential Diva also offers an inside look with comments on each one of these Stratusfy-ing appearances. She ranks her match against Lita on the Dec. 6, 2004 episode of RAW, the first time in history that the Divas were solely featured in the show's main event, as her top match. She says of the bout, "What an amazing feeling for Lita and I to be given the trust and confidence to close out our flagship show in the main event of Monday Night Raw. Plus, a true testament to the hard work of the women's division as a whole."

* Lita and Trish Stratus have been contacted to appear at the 1,000th WWE RAW event.

* Both Stephanie McMahon and Jim Ross will be in St. Louis, Missouri next Monday, the site of that day's unprecedented 1000th RAW episode. The WWE Hall of Famer appeared Wednesday on KREF Sports Talk 1400 The Ref and confirmed he would be on the show. He added he has no idea what his role will be. McMahon, who participated in a Twitter chat Tuesday and hinted but did not confirm an appearance on Raw, will be in the area that day for a 'be a STAR' anti-bullying at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater St. Louis' Herbert Hoover location (2901 N. Grand Ave.). She will be joined World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus, The Miz, Eve and American Idol finalist James Durbin.

* The Undertaker will be appearing on Monday 1,000th RAW event. This will be the Phenom's first appearance since WrestleMania. His role on the show will be unclear, but he will be live at the show in St. Louis.

* WWE's creative committee is rumored to be leaning towards CM Punk retaining the WWE Championship next Monday on RAW when John Cena is supposed to cash in his Money in the Bank contract. According to sources, there is a lot of talk within the organization that Cena will be the first person to not win a title directly after cashing in the briefcase. The feeling is that Cena is the one guy that can handle losing the cash in. They also could have The Big Show or The Rock cost Cena the match, which keeps Punk as champion and sidetracks Cena into another feud. There was also talk at RAW this week that there would be a major angle between John Cena and CM Punk next week where somehow Cena would keep his Money in the Bank briefcase. It's almost guaranteed that this will change numerous times before RAW next week so take this with a grain of salt for now. Triple H recently directed that title reigns should be longer in order to build the importance of the belts. As you know by now, both CM Punk and Sheamus retained their titles at Money in the Bank. We noted that Cena's Money in the Bank win was made within the last few weeks. At one point, he was going to be given the pay-per-view off.

* Tatanka, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, DDP, Steve Blackman, "Mean" Gene Okerlund, Vader, Doink the Clown, Bob Backlund and Sid Vicious have all also teased appearances, appeared recently, or been contacted by WWE about appearing. Expect a ton of former WWE talents to appear in addition to these names.

* Any talents who are under contract with TNA (Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff, Kurt Angle, etc.) will obviously NOT be appearing at the event.

* Ric Flair will likely not appear due to the ongoing TNA vs. WWE lawsuit. WWE isn't going to risk taking any chances with TNA talents.

* The company didn't promote Charlie Sheen as Social Media Ambassador, suggesting he will not be involved due to the fact that he quit Twitter.

* Goldberg shot down rumors that he will be at RAW next week for the 1,000th episode. When asked over Twitter by a fan, he posted: It's not true!! RT @mrpops96: @Goldberg there are videos and rumours suggesting that you will be at Raw 1000 is it true?

* Kelly Kelly returns to WWE this week after being granted time off the road in late May. She tweeted Sunday, "On the road again. Can't wait to see everyone at the #raw1000." Kelly, who had been on the road on a weekly basis since joining WWE in 2006, was reportedly granted a break to spend time with her family and boyfriend. She last competed on television on the May 21 Raw SuperShow, losing to Beth Phoenix.

* The Ultimate Warrior recently addressed rumors that he would be appearing at the 1,000th RAW. On Twitter, a fan posted the following message to Warrior… hey did you hear everyone thinks you will be at ‪#RAW1000 Warrior responded with the following… I've never done what everyone else thinks. Never. Not once. As of last week, there were no plans to feature The Ultimate Warrior on the show. Of course, plans can change but he is not expected to appear as of this writing.

* Former WWE announcer Todd Grisham has stated that he will not be attending the 1,000th episode of RAW. The Coach will also not be at the 1,000th RAW event.

* During a Q&A session at Comic-Con last week, Dave Batista commented on a potential WWE return. Here is what he had to say… I'm not against going back. It's just definitely not going to be this year.

* Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks have been tweeting all day about wanting to get a match on the 1,000th RAW event. The duo is asking fans to tweet about it. They have re-tweeted many responses from their followers as well.

* Stephanie McMahon, Jim Ross, Bret Hart, Rikishi, Sean "X-Pac" Waltman and Kelly Kelly have all stated that they are either in St. Louis or on their way to St. Louis for the 1,000th RAW.

* The latest on Wade Barrett's WWE return is that he'll be back following the SummerSlam pay-per-view. There was a rumor that he'd be appearing at the 1,000th RAW event but that doesn't look to be happening now. Sources report that WWE creative already has a plan in place for him when he returns.

* Evan Bourne announced via Twitter that he won't be on the 1,000th RAW which is from his hometown in St. Louis. Bourne posted the following: Sorry friends! I won't be in STL for the epic #raw1000 but when I DO work my way back on Raw, it will also be epic!

* Randy Orton will not be at the 1,000th RAW from his hometown of St. Lois due to his current Wellness Policy suspension. He'll be able to return at the end of the month.

* Diamond Dallas Page is being promoted as a guest on the St. Louis' FOX affiliate morning show tomorrow. That means he's in St. Louis for RAW so expect him to appear live.

* Vader, who like DDP appeared in a segment on RAW in the past several weeks leading up to Monday, is currently in St. Louis and expected to appear at the 1,000th RAW event.

[nakedmadman]

Undertaker looked slow, very stiff, and not really into it any longer.

So... Cena's the first MITB looser, and will we be seeing Punk/Rock at RR? That'd be one hell of a long title reign if we do.

Slick looked like he was havin' fun.

Dolf Ziggler is due to be the next HBK. Just a matter of time.

Heyman still knows how to push all the right buttons. They NEVER should have let him go.

I can't believe all the sheeple who buy into Rock's bullshit. 1 match and 4 promos a year and they treat him like the next president. Unbelieveable.

Punk turns heel again! Woohoo!!!! He's much better on the mic when he's a "bad guy" anyway.

Ziggler/Jerico has the potential to be feud of the year. Too bad the wicked witch of the E is right in the middle of it.

Brodus Clay.... Go Away.

Ray Methsteryo/Botch Cara in the ring togather, hopefully this is the start of the return of the cruiserweight title.

[ozzyrulz777]

Loved what Punk did last night. And the full blown (minus Chyna) reunion of DX was awesome. I just wonder why Stone Cold did not show up.

[ParaDime77]

There's something so beyond epic when the lights go out and The Undertaker arrives. You know you're seeing something special and even more rare the older he gets.

About time Punk turned heel, this sets up another 6 months of him being on top and getting quality promos like last summer.

[eddie lee roth]

Stone Cold just had knee surgery and is still on crutches and said there was no way he would go on TV hobbling around on crutches.

Knowing how Vince has used his sick humor on wrestlers in the past (remember Dusty in his polka dots) and going by what Brodus Clay looks like with all his tattoo's and all.

What's the chance Brodus is some kind of heavy metal fan and Vince decided to make him the hip-hop funkasaures just to fuck with him.

Heath Slater sold Bradshaw/JBL's clothesline from hell like a champ last night, hell he was almost standing on his head for a few seconds there.

Backstage segment with Trish I couldn't help thinking she wanted to say to X-PAC get away from me you fucking slimeball.

[FullDJacket]

I marked out to the "thank you Vince"-chants. Guilty as charged!

[Captain Morgan]

As a huge Punk fan, I'm really interested to see where this storyline is going. I think Punk is going back to his June/July 2011 tweener gimmick where he'll do/say whatever he wants to whomever he wants. Keep in mind that during that time he had a feud with Cena and HHH, two of the biggest faces, while turning face.

Heel Punk is fun, but I think the WWE has the chance to do something more dynamic with his character. He's the anti-hero that people want to cheer - the guy who says anything and takes it out on anyone. If they book him this way, an Austin/Punk match at next years WrestleMania could be even more likely...

[Kid-Wicked]

i must be the minority.

i love the funkasaurus.

i wish bret would stay home. i'm a mark. i hate seeing him like this.

[Leppardmania]

i wish bret would stay home. i'm a mark. i hate seeing him like this.

Agreed, he looked pretty bad last night.

[ParaDime77]

This. It's really too bad, the guy gave his whole life to the game and he was THE guy in the 1990's hands down.

I can't WAIT to see an honest to goodness Punk/Rock feud. Should be 100X better than the year long WAAAY too drawn out Rock/Cena feud.

The New World Order created chaos in the ranks of World Championship Wrestling as the renegade faction sought success by any means necessary. Now, group founder Kevin Nash is looking to reform the nefarious faction and run roughshod over the world of wrestling once again.

"A lot of you wanted an NWO reunion, there will be one. As you know we only come in take over mode. Stay tuned!!!," he announced Tuesday night via Twitter.

The group's reformation could take place in WWE and if Nash has his wish fulfilled, with CM Punk as their leader. Nash tweeted to a fan that he wants the WWE Champion as group captain with the "NWO army to protect the gold."

"Rock will never walk out of the Rumble with the belt. We got Phil's back," he adds.

Meanwhile, TNA Wrestling executive Eric Bischoff re-tweeted Nash's announcement reading "A lot of you wanted an NWO reunion, there will be one. As you know we only come in take over mode. Stay tuned!!!"

Greatest moment in the history of our sport

If Nash tries to bring back a version of the nWo, it will bomb big time.

The nWo is Hogan, Hall, & Nash. Hogan won't be there, Hall can barely walk & talk anymore.......let it go Big Sexy, let it go.

How much you want to bet when the cameras went off she did just that.

TNA should start a story of how an evil cable carrier won't show Impact

hire Rick Martel for the part

From what I understand, he's invested his money well, and does not want to come back in any capacity.

I see him around town once in a while, he owns a few apartment building, super nice guy.

Does he still spray Arrogance around when he walks?

That would be awesome.

That is a gimmick I would never drop. I'd be a 75-year-old man with an atomizer strapped to my walker.

[LAglamrocker]

hope Raw 1001 is a grandslam! Raw 1000 was maybe a double

best moment was the hand grown up,that was funny
Undertaker was wasted, Bret was Bret, Brock is booked as a pussy that shows up then backs away, so the great shake up from Vince is Punk being bad again? Punk will be great at that, but then fed to the Rock at Rumble

Rock made plans for 6 months away..big f'ing deal...

AJ could be awesome but she will end up like Ryder. Something awesome that will get squashed..a shame

[nakedmadman]

Ya know, it's monstrously annoying that TnA can have such good matches with such good talent, and then BLOW IT with such shitty story lines.

The AJ Styles babydaddy storyline needs to die NOW.

Aces&Eights... Nice try fellas, but no. Is there anyone who doesn't believe this is going to be the return of Eric Bitchoff at the head of a new faction?

Best women wrestlers in the business right now and what do we get? Earl Hebner throwing matches because he wants to poke that wonky eyed bitch... What's her name?

In Earl's defense do you blame him, shit she would be the world champ if it was me.

Easiest bet ever you could tell she was thinking never in a millon years are you gonna get this pussy.

"Finally Kurt Angle has come back toPittsburgh"

"for the hundreds and hundreds of fans", ha ha

some fan wrote
They had to be disappointed with the size of the crowd, though, which looked to be in the 600-700 range. The field seats seemed pretty close to sold out and the only other area that appeared to be crowded were the sections behind home plate.
