WWE RAW: live in HD for first time tonight

Not that rabid professional wrestling fans really needed a reminder, but WWE's first high-definition broadcast of RAW does indeed start tonight. Set to air from Virginia's Hampton Coliseum on USA HD, we can expect to see crystal clear glimpses of Triple-H, Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho (among others) -- sweat beads and artificial blood included. Gather up the fam, the party starts at 9:00PM EST.

Correction. They haven't used fake blood since the 80s. It's real blood, they just use razors to cut themselves open. So I except tons of razor scars.

mick foley and terry funk dont blade when they face eac other :) its all legit hits, they do it he old school way, the only way, the hardway.

Of course they do. Have you seen the amount of razor scars Terry Funk has on his forehead? It's frightening. Why would they not blade only when they faced each other? That makes no sense.

Is it not apparent who is here on borrowed time?

WHO in the hell would watch this crap? It's the most white-trash, pathetic aspect of American entertainment.

im a fan of new japan pro wrestling roh (ring of honor) their is no american mainstream wrestling promotion in the usa, wwe isnt pro wrestling, its more of an action adventure soap . new japan is treated as a sport. in japan wrestling is respected an is even on sports news and news papaers. in the usa its ruled by one man and thats the owner of the wwe. roh is an independent promotion thats trys to be more sports oriented, its about skill while wwe is about entrtainment in the comedy, an i hate u u hate me sort of way. all are predetermined sure, but calling all wrestling white trash isn't fair.

The sad thing is unless you have Direct TV...Comcast...Time Warner...or Even Verizon Fios here in NJ don't carry USA Network HD channel :(

There is no artificial blood.

I watched this and for the most part it was great. A bit compressed but that is to be expected.

Color, detail, and depth of field all greatly increased.
