Official Raw Thread (7-16-07): THE CHAMP IS BAAACK!

[KingofOldSchool]

With The Great American Bash less than a week away, Raw will heat up the American Bank Arena Monday night with a series of confrontations.

Tonight on Raw, Randy Orton will face a Rhodes - but it will be Cody Rhodes, the son of "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. Last week, Dusty's youngest son angered the Legend Killer when he defended his father and slapped Orton across the face. Now, in his first match on Raw, Cody Rhodes will defend his father's honor. Will Orton have something up his sleeve and try to send a message one week before his Texas Bull Rope Match against the Dream at The Great American Bash?

For the first time since nearly being broken in half on Raw two weeks ago by Bobby Lashley’s spear, WWE Champion John Cena and the No. 1 contender will be back under the same roof. While away from Raw last week, Cena appeared via satellite and promised to address Lashley in Corpus Christi. What will The Champ have to say to his challenger as they head into their epic encounter at The Bash?

Another champion who will defend at The Bash is Women’s Champion Candice Michelle. The Candy-Coated Diva has been on an amazing roll of late, which includes winning the title from Melina at Vengeance: Night of Champions. Will either Diva gain any advantage just days before they face off over the championship? Can Candice continue to prove herself to be the golden Diva of WWE, or will Melina’s desire propel her to the top once more?

Find out the answers to all of these questions and more on Raw, Monday night at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

[St. Jimmy]

Fuck you you over-rated piece of shit.

[Corndad]

Well looks like Bookers the first one to job lol

[St. Jimmy]

Cannot wait for Trips to get back. 3.5 second jobbing world record to Booker.

[ClockShot]

DAMN YOU BOOKER T!

[LK]

Did he come out to Trips theme or something?

[Corndad]

Did he come out to Trips theme or something?

Yup

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'll be here for a few minutes to chat with you guys. Consider yourselves lucky.

[St. Jimmy]

Booker came out to the King of Kings theme.

[St. Jimmy]

Oh great, now we get Lawler in the ring? Yeah. Fuck booker.

[Anybody Thrilla]

BOW DOWN TO THE, BOW DOWN TO THE BOOK!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Booker T v. Jerry Lawler. Yuck.

[LK]

:lol: Lovely stuff

Guess we're seeing Booker vs Lawler tonight.

[St. Jimmy]

Send Booker back to SmackDown. KThx.

[St. Jimmy]

Hell, send Booker to TNA. I don't fucking care, just never want to see him or this gimmick again.

[Shaggy]

I loved that opening with Booker using Trips music....I wonder if Triple H will feud with Booker T when he returns....

[Anybody Thrilla]

OK, Booker v. Lawler NEXT WEEK

[ClockShot]

Looks like we're in for a rough night.

[LK]

I hate that sign guy

[Anybody Thrilla]

I love when he breaks character.

JERRY LAWLER, I'M COMIN' FOR YOU NIGGA!

[St. Jimmy]

They're hyping this Cena vs. Lashley match like it even fucking matters.

[Pepsi Man]

rofl - did anybody NOT see Booker fighting Jerry coming?

[KingofOldSchool]

I would say that Flair sold his soul to put over Cena like that but I think that shipped sailed years ago.

[KingofOldSchool]

rofl - did anybody NOT see Booker fighting Jerry coming?

I clearly did not see that coming, in fact that was the most shocking thing to happen in wrestling in a long time.

[Corndad]

Is Santino sent back to OVW yet?

[ClockShot]

After this he might be.

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL @ production miscue

[Corndad]

where the hell did that pop come from?

[Corndad]

I hope hes sent back soon. I despise this music.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Santino Marella's music is awesome.

[St. Jimmy]

Regal should win this.

[Corndad]

C'mon Regal...

[Linkbowler]

I'm pulling for Regal.

[KingofOldSchool]

:wtf: @ Regal's jacket

[KingofOldSchool]

We all know Hardy's going to win.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I don't want to sound morbid, bu I think it'd be an interesting heel turn if Santino raped Maria and acted like he didn't know you couldn't rape girls in the US.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Regal v. Umaga? Yeah right. Santino's taking this, I'm sorry to report.

[KingofOldSchool]

I don't want to sound morbid, bu I think it'd be an interesting heel turn if Santino raped Maria and acted like he didn't know you couldn't rape girls in the US.

You stole my rape angle. :rant: :shifty:

[Corndad]

I said it last week but Im lovin Regals "Villain" tights.

Funny shizz.

[KingofOldSchool]

Regal v. Umaga? Yeah right. Santino's taking this, I'm sorry to report.

ORLY?

[Corndad]

Regal v. Umaga? Yeah right. Santino's taking this, I'm sorry to report.

You called that one :wtf:

[ClockShot]

Bye bye, Santino.

[Anybody Thrilla]

All right, Marella's not taking this one.

[KingofOldSchool]

So both Hardy's will be going after the second tier single titles at GAB.

[Anybody Thrilla]

STFU

[Corndad]

although Umaga has killed him numerous times WWE will go the the predictable Hardy/Umage Face vs Heel match.

[KingofOldSchool]

although Umaga has killed him numerous times WWE will go the the predictable Hardy/Umage Face vs Heel match.

Yeah cause Regal/Umaga would go over with the fans. :roll:

[Anybody Thrilla]

LET'S GO SHELTON

[ClockShot]

HOLY SHIT! A BLOCKBUSTER!

[KingofOldSchool]

HAHAHA JR called it the Blockbuster.

Somewhere Buff and Judy are crying a little bit.

[Anybody Thrilla]

The IC division is shaping up nicely right now.

[Corndad]

Yeah cause Regal/Umaga would go over with the fans. :roll:

atleast would be something fresh.

[ClockShot]

Where the hell did Haas go?

[St. Jimmy]

*sigh*

[ClockShot]

That was a shitty ending.

[KingofOldSchool]

atleast would be something fresh.

Just because something is "fresh" doesn't mean fans will care about the match.

Seriously.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Outcome aside, that was a fun lil' match.

[Corndad]

Im just talkin crazy again. I guess this is WWE we are talking about here.

[Corndad]

they are even having Edge put Cena over? I thought he did that enough last year lol

[Anybody Thrilla]

Khali v. Umaga in a bikini contest would be fresh.

[KingofOldSchool]

Khali v. Umaga in a bikini contest would be fresh.

Khali vs. Snitsky in an Iron Man match would be fresh.

[ClockShot]

Gigli 2?

[KingofOldSchool]

IT'S MAKE IT OR BREAK IT FOR CODY RHODES

[Corndad]

I was just stating It's something we haven't already seen a billion times before.

[St. Jimmy]

Right, you're not a loser. You're a jobber.

[ClockShot]

Hey. The man is right.

[KingofOldSchool]

Where is Luigi when you need him?

[Linkbowler]

Maria's an enabler.

[St. Jimmy]

Nothing's touger than John Cena, except maybe Marshmallows.

[Corndad]

Wonder if Punks ever made her pancakes.

[KingofOldSchool]

Wonder if Punks ever made her pancakes.

Nah, he's made her sausage.

:shifty: :naughty:

[KingofOldSchool]

"The only thinking I like more than winning matches, is killing babies."

[St. Jimmy]

Bleh.

[St. Jimmy]

LOL, I hope Alienoid is watching.

[ClockShot]

Whoa. Val Venis yet again.

[Corndad]

Poor Val. lol

This is like the third straight week he's on Raw. Is everyone else on vacation or something?

[KingofOldSchool]

Here comes Alenoid's favorite masterbation obsession.

[Linkbowler]

Val's about to die.

[Hanso Amore]

Snitky = Issac yankem + Kane

[KingofOldSchool]

Poor Val. lol

This is like the third straight week he's on Raw. Is everyone else on vacation or something?

Nah, Eugene just got drafted to Smackdown.

[Hanso Amore]

Only Snitsky can make a monster squash look bad and get no reaction

[Corndad]

That is one ugly dude.

[Hanso Amore]

Worst Music ever by the way

[Innovator]

LISTEN TO THAT OVATION FOR SNITSKY!

you hear it?

listen closer

[KingofOldSchool]

Snitsky needs to punt Steph and Hunter's kid.

[St. Jimmy]

Gnarly Scar on Cody's face.

[KingofOldSchool]

Cody sounds too much like Dusty at times.

[Corndad]

his first promo was better then any Lashley promo I've ever seen.

[Pepsi Man]

Did JR and Alienoid switch places this week?

[Innovator]

Yeah he's had some good promos down in OVW, guess that was just a sample

[KingofOldSchool]

Needs more cowbell.

[KingofOldSchool]

Dusty needs to break out the polka dots at the PPV.

[Corndad]

*Insert Generic Entrance Music*

[Hanso Amore]

Old School Attire

[ClockShot]

A video and music for him already.

[St. Jimmy]

Someone wants to be Flair

[KingofOldSchool]

Cody is going to be the guy Orton failed to be.

[Hanso Amore]

This was a good way to bring in Cody, hes getting over well.

[Corndad]

Get em Dusty.

[ClockShot]

Stone Cold. What the hell?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

GOLDUST RUN IN

[KingofOldSchool]

THE GLAMAZON

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I haven't watched wrestling in so long so sorry if Dustin Rhodes is dead

He always struck me as someone who'd die young you know

[Corndad]

damn. does this mean Mickie has to job.

[KingofOldSchool]

Mickie should be Women's champ right now.

[KingofOldSchool]

damn. does this mean Mickie has to job.

Yeah.

[Corndad]

please tell me Candice isnt doing commentary good.

[KingofOldSchool]

Nice neckbreaker

[KingofOldSchool]

Stupid Candice, you bitch.

[McLegend]

Yeah I liked Cody Rhodes. Very good debut I thought.

[McLegend]

Also Candice is awsome.

[KingofOldSchool]

ROFL

[Corndad]

DAMN

[Linkbowler]

I thought we were done with the cock jokes when DX left.

[KingofOldSchool]

Memo to Foley: Leopard does not look good on you.

[Corndad]

There has to be a time this guy doesn't win.

You think so Mick.

[mrslackalack]

Candice has improved a lot.

[mrslackalack]

lol at the promo

[ClockShot]

Hmmmm. Wonder what's going on with Hacksaw.

[mrslackalack]

I guess no ME tonight? Just the Cena/Lashley faceoff?

[KingofOldSchool]

Half hour left of Raw and no Kennedy in sight. :love:

[KingofOldSchool]

So both Nitro and Edge will have major announcements at the tapings tomorrow night. :wtf:

[Innovator]

Oh god another Nitro press conference

[mrslackalack]

Hmmmm. Wonder what's going on with Hacksaw.

He will prolly get destroyed in a match against Snitsky next week.

[McLegend]

uh o Johnny Nitro press conference tomorrow night on ECW. That's not good for anyone.

[Corndad]

Half hour left of Raw and no Kennedy in sight. :love:

Maybe was on Heat this week lol He has jobbed the last two weeks lol

[McLegend]

You are a huge Fag

[ClockShot]

Carlito and Sandman again. Hell of a filler. :roll:

[Innovator]

getoff the nyquil

[Pepsi Man]

So have I missed anything of note? I think I nodded off after the women's match.

[KingofOldSchool]

ROFL @ the guy blocking the Sandman in the front row

[mrslackalack]

At least Sandmans not getted jobbed out in seconds on RAW........ at least not yet.....

[mrslackalack]

I thought the Booker promo to open up the show was great, but everything else just meh.

[Corndad]

Wow is Regal getting the air time this week or what.

[KingofOldSchool]

WHAT

RANDOM

[Pepsi Man]

What the...:D

[ClockShot]

Well, that answers my question.

[KingofOldSchool]

Sandman must be thinking "I went from ECW to teaming with Jim FUCKING Duggan?"

[McLegend]

Sandman must be thinking "I went from ECW to teaming with Jim FUCKING Duggan?"
Yeah and the sad thing about this is...It's still better then being on ECW

[KingofOldSchool]

WRESTLING...GOD

[mrslackalack]

What a random bunch out there lol.

[KingofOldSchool]

Yeah and the sad thing about this is...It's still better then being on ECW

Let's not go overboard here.

[St. Jimmy]

This entire show has been pretty MEH.

[Pepsi Man]

Sandman must be thinking "I went from ECW to teaming with Jim FUCKING Duggan?"
Yeah, finally Sandman gets to team with a star!:shifty:

[McLegend]

Let's not go overboard here.
It's not that far overborad

[mrslackalack]

lol they should at least give Hacksaw/Sandman a brief tag title reign.

[KingofOldSchool]

It's not that far overborad

ECW for the most part entertains me more in one hour than Raw usually does in two.

[KingofOldSchool]

Fuck.

[mrslackalack]

Well ECW might be better if Sandman becomes a regular on HEAT.

[Corndad]

Well so much for Heat lol

[McLegend]

ECW for the most part entertains me more in one hour than Raw usually does in two.
Yeah but at the end of the day its still ECW

And I don't want to turn this into a serious discussion. So I'll stop

[KingofOldSchool]

Yeah yeah yeah

Get on with it Douche.

[Pepsi Man]

Looks like King spoke too soon.

[St. Jimmy]

... KENNEDY

[mrslackalack]

I agree with KOOS lately ECW has had some decent matches and segments. (except for a shirtless Big Daddy V lol)

[KingofOldSchool]

Looks like King spoke too soon.

It looks like they were saving the crap for last.

[Corndad]

ROFL @ another Kennedy/Crazy Match

[mrslackalack]

Wonder if Lawler/Booker will wrestle next week on RAW or GAB?

[KingofOldSchool]

Super Crazy has already got more offense in than he did against Snitsky last week.

[mrslackalack]

Kennedy should win this one easily

[KingofOldSchool]

This match has already gone on longer than the Snitsky/Super Crazy match last week.

[mrslackalack]

A bunch of Heat guys have been on RAW the past 3 weeks.

[Corndad]

Wow King. Wow. That was possibly the stupidest explanation i ever heard.

[mrslackalack]

It seems besides getting destroyed by Snitsky that 2007 RAW for Super Crazy has been wrestling Masters or Kennedy lol

[KingofOldSchool]

I can't wait until we see Kennedy/Triple H.

[KingofOldSchool]

So was Crazy to fat for Kennedy to do the Green Bay Plunge?

[mrslackalack]

I bet this faceoff will end with Cena giving Lashley a FU which means...........

SPOILER



CENA WINS

[KingofOldSchool]

Mr. I Don't Do Steroids



Steroids.

[mrslackalack]

That KOOS or WWE prolly dont want Kennedy to use it no more considering they usually ban cool moves every so often.

[IC Champion]

Raw has been terrible, who writes this shit?

[mrslackalack]

WWE Writer ''This Orton/Rhodes feud is a blockbuster, we gotta bring back Superstar to have a match against Kennedy''

[Supreme Olajuwon]

wow are they using Cobra Starship for the PPV theme song

[St. Jimmy]

Hopefully for the last time ever, Cena/Lashley.

[mrslackalack]

I bet Matt Boone secretly is a WWE writer to the repeated stuff and the randomness.

[mrslackalack]

They are overhyping this match up like WCW used to do with all their PPV matches each month.

[KingofOldSchool]

That KOOS or WWE prolly dont want Kennedy to use it no more considering they usually ban cool moves every so often.

I bet Triple H is going to use that when he comes back. His new gimmick will be a Galactus like character, instead of eating planets, he eats finishers and starts to use them in his moveset.

[mrslackalack]

When Cena comes out you will hear some boos and some cheers from 7 yr old boys and lots of females, and when Lashley comes out the arena is dead slient but JR and King will act like the greatest thing in the world is out there.

[mrslackalack]

hahahaha that wouldnt be that bad of a gimmick for some1 if they stole finishers.

[St. Jimmy]

LOL, Great Triple H promo package.

[KingofOldSchool]

hahahaha that wouldnt be that bad of a gimmick for some1 if they stole finishers.

Eugene did it. :shifty:

[St. Jimmy]

HE. IS. BLACKBERG!!!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

sweet Triple H promo

maybe they're hinting that he'll come back with Ted Dibiase as the new Million Dollar Champ

[Corndad]

I cant believe they let Lashley on a mic.

[KingofOldSchool]

Black Lesnar

[St. Jimmy]

The MAN HAS NO NECK.

[mrslackalack]

the Uncrowned Champion angle would have been great for Benoit when he came to the WWF back in 2000 when he was stripped of the WCW title to come here as he never lost it.

[KingofOldSchool]

ROFL at the Hispanic girl about to pass out when Coach was announcing Cena

[St. Jimmy]

HE. IS. BLANDZILLLLAAAAAAA!!!!

[mrslackalack]

Well Lashley is not great on the mic, but on his Titantron it says hes hard hitting and soft spoken.

[Innovator]

Time to see some black on black crime

[mrslackalack]

That Hispanic girl was screaming over Jeff Hardy as well like she was Shadow or something LOL jk Shadow.

[St. Jimmy]

It's 11:01, DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR ENTERTAINMENT IS?

[KingofOldSchool]

CENA TEH OVERCOME TEH ODDS

[mrslackalack]

I am shocked BETs 106 and Park havent hyped Cena vs Lashley yet.

[KingofOldSchool]

$5 says Cena makes a poop joke

[Corndad]

God why.

[KingofOldSchool]

I'll mark out if Lashley spears Cena.

[mrslackalack]

I think Hillary and Obama could have a better debate than this.

[St. Jimmy]

................................

[KingofOldSchool]

I think bin Laden and George W. could have a better debate than this.

[Corndad]

please dont talk.

[mrslackalack]

I dont think they would let Lashley get Cena twice in a row, but they might to hype Cena overcoming the odds for the 230,688,914th time.

[St. Jimmy]

LOLOLOLOLOL Lashley on the Mic is GOLD.

[ClockShot]

My god. Get off the mic.

[St. Jimmy]

Lashley is the WORST BLACK MAN ever.

[Corndad]

Even Lashley knows he shouldnt talk lol

[KingofOldSchool]

I want to see a Khali/Umaga debate

[mrslackalack]

Regal for GM

[mrslackalack]

Khali/Umaga debate would be hilarous

[Innovator]

Aggression will be your downfall? what the fuck is Cena a Jedi or something?

[Corndad]

the hell with security?

[St. Jimmy]

was this supposed to make Lashley look like a monster, or a threat? because that ship must've had a hole in it and sunk before it even left dock.

[Corndad]

Now they need Cena to get him over wow.

[KingofOldSchool]

Aggression will be your downfall? what the fuck is Cena a Jedi or something?

Mace Windu would fuck his shit up.

[ClockShot]

If I wanted 5 good minutes. I'll go watch P.T.I.

[mrslackalack]

Colin Powell acts more black than Lashley

[ClockShot]

Awful.

Good night.

[mrslackalack]

hahahahaha at Clockshot

[mrslackalack]

awful RAW tonight.

[mrslackalack]

This RAW thread only will get about 5 pages as well to tell how boring and awful it was.

[owenbrown]

If I wanted 5 good minutes. I'll go watch P.T.I.

:D

[Jura]

Is this the lowest amount of pages for a Raw thread? I totally forgot Raw was on tonight.

[The Naitch]

they should've booked this feud like Rock/Brock

[James Steele]

Cena/Lashley was painful to watch.

[Londoner]

The cena/lashley segment helped me go back to sleep when i woke up.

[mrslackalack]

lol

[Tommy Gunn]

Other than Booker, Kennedy and Regal that was the worst Raw I've seen in months.

The day Lashley goes down with injury will be fantastic. Yes that makes me sound like a dick, no I don't care.
