Don't forget to check back on AngryMarks.com at 9:15 PM EST for the Raw Recap courtesy of Ian Clark and join us in the AngryMarks chat room when the show itself goes on the air at the top of the hour for all of the discussion. Also, tonight at 11:30 PM EST in the same chat room will be the second edition of The Raw Reaction from one of our original staff members Nikes the Sneaker Pimp! Check out the inaugural episode to get a taste of what to expect. With those cheap plugs out of the way let's started with some WWE news including notes from the aforementioned Raw tonight in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

There was no dark match before the show. For WWE Superstars Zach Ryder and Primo defeated Goldust and Yoshi Tatsu, and Nikki Bella pinned Jillian Hall. {PWI}

The new anonymous General Manager promises (via e-mail) to season one NXT rookies: "These actions will be met with appropriate consequences." Rob Zombie will be the guest host of Raw tonight in Philly. Speaking of guest hosts, Florence Henderson will guest host Monday Night Raw live from Lexington, Kentucky on July 12. {WWE}

Three WWE superstars were minorly injured on house shows over the weekend. R-Truth tweaked his knee while wrestling against The Miz at the Raw house show in Youngstown, Ohio, which led to an early end of their bout. Truth's injury was not a knee issue but a pulled groin and he is expected to work through the issue. At the Portland, Maine Smackdown house show Cody Rhodes was out on his feet after being dumped hard by Kofi Kingston and Matt Hardy during a double back suplex. He eventually continued the match after being out for several minutes and after the match was helped out by trainers. Cody isn't believed to have suffered a concussion over the weekend, but he simply took a bad blow to the head. The same Portland, Maine show saw Kelly Kelly's match with Layla El abruptly end after Kelly took a bad shot to either her shoulder area. She was cleared to wrestle on the house show in Worcester, MA so the injury wasn't too serious. {PWI}

Jim Ross has posted his latest blog entry where he talks about Dave Bautista in MMA, HHH's best match, the possibility of him calling an MMA match and more. You can check it out HERE. J.R. mentions on his Twitter page that he'll be working on new voiceovers for the new WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 video game: "Start THQ v/o's Mon & work Tues & thurs. Most unique copy I've ever encountered. Very challenging. Game 'feels' complex. Anxious 2 start."

Bryan Danielson had one of the first of his matches on the independent circuit starting with Chikara. After his match with Eddie Kingston he made a few comments since his post-WWE release. We have a report from Chris from Down River and courtesy of PWI:

I attended the Chikara show in Taylor, MI last night. The announcer was really hard to understand so I missed a lot of the names for the Chikara guys. After the show my girlfriend looked at me and said "that was better than the crap we watch on TV" and I have to agree.

Bryan Danielson wrestles right after intermission and had a hard hitting match with Eddie Kingston. They kept it pretty mat based with some strong style moments but a very low risk bout that ended with Danielson winning with a roll up after Claudio came out to distract Eddie.

At first the music for Danielson was a spoof of the NXT song but quickly changed to 'Final Countdown'. Not a single person was sitting (they had to add about 100-120 chairs as about 300-350 people showed up) as Danielson looked to be truly moved. Then as he hit the ring about 100 ties flew through air like streamers just engulfing the ring. You could tell this reaction and the rain of ties really got to Danielson.

After the match Kingston called Danielson 'one of the best, not just in the indies but in all of wrestling'. Then Danielson got on the mic and said he couldn't really comment on the release but for his first night back this was perfect. He said he doesn't know how his life or career will go but while he is here he wants to bring more attention to Indy wrestling. He then went on a "this is PG" rant about hard mat wrestling and people busting their humps in these rings. He then said Chikara does 'PG wrestling' better than anyone. Finally, before he left he said after the show he would sign and meet anyone in the back.

Right after the show, he did meet everyone. He had the "Violent" T-shirt for sale and photos but you didn't need to buy a thing. He signed tons of ties including a Vince McMahon tie. He took photos with everyone. I was one of the last in line because half the crowd got up during the finish of the main event to get in line (kind of disrespectful to 8 really good wrestlers who put on a great main). Even being maybe the 200th person he met that night he was one of the nicest people I have ever met. He joked with my girlfriend and took photos with us. Just a class act all around and we need more people like Bryan Danielson in the world just in general and not just pro wrestling.
