Offical RAW Thread for 03/15/10 - Austin 3:16 says I just kicked your buttocks

[McLegend]

Good to see Batista dropping the Village people gimmick.

[Loose Cannon]

Looking at Gorgeous George and his character, does anyone think that if HHH stayed with his "Hunter Hearst Helmsley" gimmick that it would have skyrockted?

nah, the whole "upper class" gimmick has a life line in today's wrestling. He got over huge when he became The Game

[ClockShot]

Poor Kofi.

[The Franchise]

The Human Orchard is the greatest nickname ever

Better than The Prince of the Land of Five Rivers? :D

[RP]

was it me or was Batista's entrance really plain

[Johnny Vegas]

Is it me or is Kofi bigger?

[Emperor Smeat]

Looking at Gorgeous George and his character, does anyone think that if HHH stayed with his "Hunter Hearst Helmsley" gimmick that it would have skyrockted?

No. Closet person to mimic George's gimmick was Martel with the Model gimmick since he brought back the perfume spray bottle.

[Sixx]

Aw yes, you can be my valentine. Im not in the US, im in Ireland watching it on my big 37 inch flatscreen. Its LIVE too so, you were saying somone is a moron?
I believe the moron is you jack

How the fuck do you fit a 37 inch flatscreen into a trailer?

[Loose Cannon]

was it me or was Batista's entrance really plain

he didn't have on his cool vest

[HBPunk]

How the fuck do you fit a 37 inch flatscreen into a trailer?

Easy dude, i just knock the back wall out, slide the screen in and... HEY

[parkmania]

Was really hoping for a bit more involvement from Austin tonight. Seems like they only brought him in for the signing.

[RP]

he didn't have on his cool vest

i mean the backround. There wasnt any pyro and the only thing working was the jumbotron. I honestly thought RAW was in Berut for a moment.

[HBPunk]

PUPPIES

[Loose Cannon]

lol Berut

[Sixx]

Kofi is like the best name for a black guy.

[HBPunk]

blood

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I love Batista not giving a shit about the blood.

[treyace]

Kofi vs Batista
lol are u serious

[HBPunk]

i think dave bladed in that replay!!

[parkmania]

How obvious was Bats' blading there?

[Sixx]

Wow! Blood.

[Johnny Vegas]

LMFAO

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

[Johnny Vegas]

That guy sat right back in his seat

[Loose Cannon]

LOL did you see that guy ducking down from Batista. hahaahaha

[McLegend]

First time I have ever seen a Ref put on gloves during a match.

[Loose Cannon]

amazing. what a douche

[Sixx]

Oh, that's sure gonna be a great movie...

[ClockShot]

15 or so minutes for the contract signing.

What's the worse that could happen?

[parkmania]

First time I have ever seen a Ref put on gloves during a match.

Pretty sure I've seen the black ref put them on once or twice during a bloody match - once might have been during Christian/Shelton.

[HBPunk]

nice to see blood and austin

[Loose Cannon]

15 or so minutes for the contract signing.

What's the worse that could happen?

Jim the Anvil Neidhart comes out and does the Worm!!!!!!!!

[Johnny Vegas]

Pretty sure I've seen the black ref put them on once or twice during a bloody match - once might have been during Christian/Shelton.

dont want to get that AIDS

[ClockShot]

THAT'S PETE ROSE! THAT'S PETE ROSE!

[Loose Cannon]

god, how many times do they show Pete Rose and Kane. This and HBK riding in on a zip line are like the only clips they have available

[parkmania]

Is Pete gonna be the guy to induct Bob Uecker?

[ClockShot]

Orton/Trips vs. Ted/Cody/Seamus.

CAN THEY CO-EXIST?

[The Franchise]

Bret rockin a Calgary Hitmen jersey bitches :cool:

[Skippord]

Dick Ebersol

[ClockShot]

What's the use of a crutch if he ain't gonna use it?

[HBPunk]

HBK on zipline was awesome

Orton/HHH vs Cody/Ted/Seamus like NWO vs Rock/Austin before mania 18
......
except cody/ted/seamus are so much better

[parkmania]

Has Bret never had to use a crutch before? He's not even remotely convincing.

[Sixx]

dont want to get that AIDS

What? He said it was a black ref.

OOOOOH

[Stealth-Icon]

I really hate when they have these contract signings.

[Stealth-Icon]

I honestly hope that Stone Cold stunners the hell out of Vince and then goes and does the same to Brett too. Drinks his beer, flicks us all off and walks out in glory

[Loose Cannon]

the thing is Bret used a crutch back in 97 when he was hurt. He walloped Ausitn with it and knocked him off the stage the night Jim Niedhart returned

[Innovator]

STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[HBPunk]

wow these GM's have lots of power

[Innovator]

I hope they sign the contract, and Bret reveals he was faking it

[Krimzon7]

Felt like a shoot....

[viO]

Bret reminds me of Weekend at Bernie's.. just sitting there..

[HBPunk]

vince shud sue bret and take owen's ashes and eat them the next night on RAW

[Loose Cannon]

bring in the Blue WWF Steel Cage

[ClockShot]

How many coats of wax does Bret got on those shades?

[Stealth-Icon]

I think that the Hart Dynasty is going to interfere in the WM match on Vince's behalf in order to get a push to the titles.

[Loose Cannon]

watch out Vince, Bret's got creative control hidden in that contract

[HBPunk]

watch out Vince, Bret's got creative control hidden in that contract

Bret wins the title on Raw after Mania

[Stealth-Icon]

HELL NO

[HBPunk]

why did they censor 'of'?

[Innovator]

YES KNEW IT

[Loose Cannon]

lol the look from Bret

[Poit]

why did they censor 'of'?

Because they screwed up on censoring "ass whupping".

[Loose Cannon]

hook the Sharpshooter

[ClockShot]

IT'S A MIRACLE?!

:roll:

[Stealth-Icon]

Worst kept secret in wrestling. Faker

[jerichoholicninja]

YES!

[Loose Cannon]

John Cena knows peeps

[HBPunk]

Because they screwed up on censoring "ass whupping".

:roll:

[Juan]

Awesome

[HBPunk]

bret hart is 100%?

[Loose Cannon]

they actually fooled me. I thought they really made him injured cause he couldn't do much

[HBPunk]

quality raw, cant believe cena > strokes

[Sixx]

Not that the devil horns ever look cool, but when a guy with one bare foot shows them it looks totally ridiculous.

[The Franchise]

This was a great episode of RAW. Awesome closing segment

[treyace]

What an ending
So how was raw

[SOCCER LEGS]

that was pretty sweet, just wish they would have used austin more. he should have been on the screen every 5 mins or so.

[Schlomey]

i marked out when the cast was shown on the desk. AWSOME SHIT.

[VSG]

Ah well I knew a stunner was too good to expect anyway! Great episode..

[LuigiD]

Man..I miss Austin so much.

[Providence Peep]

they actually fooled me. I thought they really made him injured cause he couldn't do much

same here

[Providence Peep]

same here

[Mr. C]

Did Batista punk that kid out or what? That was awesome. I love Batista like this. He’s never been so confident and this great in his role. I love it.

What really bothered me the most was the fact that Stone Cold Steve Austin was there, but there was no interaction between him and The Miz, who was missing tonight.

7/10

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Bret looks in better shape than he did even 4 weeks ago. I could bewrong but w/e... muscle memory is a hell of a thing.

[Johnny Vegas]

What? He said it was a black ref.

OOOOOH

:mad:

[CWK]

The only thing bad I could say about RAW this week was that they TOTALLY missed the boat at the beginning when Cena came out to interrupt Austin. You started to think there was going to be a promo, then nothing happened. Bad call in my view, there should have been interaction between Cena and Austin.

[Lock Jaw]

Another good show on the WWE-side. Austin was pretty minimal, didn't stun anybody, and was surrounded by the best of the best. Good matches, even if some of them ended in no contests. An actual promo from Sheamus in which he showed more potential than he did when champion, and actually has me remotely interested in his match...

Also, I actually enjoyed a contract signing for once.

Monday Night "We've got a board with a nail in it" Wars Total:
WWE: 2
TNA: 0

[el bobbo]

An actual promo from Sheamus in which he showed more potential than he did when champion, and actually has me remotely interested in his match...


That was a good promo, even if they had to make Evan Bourne look completely useless to get Sheamus over.

They bleeped out "ass" way too much. Do people really not know what Austin was saying?

[Lock Jaw]

Correction, they bleeped out the word following "ass".

[DrCrawford]

i liked the raw. but i dont see how vince and austin were in the ring and no stunner was involved.

i wouldve loved it if vince got reluctant to sign, got up from chair and austin stunned vince then put him in the chair forcefully. then as he gets up to go, austin says, wait a minute vince...i have one more thing to tell you...im the special guest ref at wrestlemania...leading to vince pissing himself again and getting another stunner. following by bret getting up and ripping the cast off and throwing it on vinces corpse. austins theme then hits and he climbs the turnbuckle drinking steveweisers as bret taunts vince as the show closes

i can dream cant i

[Paranoid Rattlesnake]

Batista making that kid cower was funny

[Londoner]

Yeah, that was abit confusing, i think austin was abit surprised, might've been a genuine fuck up? Dunno, but i stopped watching after about half n hour so gonna watch the replay on thursday.

[Innovator]

I loved that he teased a Stunner on Cena

Pissed he didn't follow through

[KayfabeMan]

I love this quote from a recap of the Batista match:

"Batista pinned Kofi Kingston in a non-title match in 2:50; late in the match...."

late in the 2:50 match :lol:

[The Franchise]

lol

[Lock Jaw]

:rofl:

[Mr. C]

Main Event: No Disqualification Tag Team Championship Match
John Cena and Shawn Michaels vs. The Big Show and The Miz

Cody Rhodes, Sheamus, and Ted DiBiase vs. Randy Orton and Triple-H

Christian vs. Evan Bourne vs. Jack Swagger vs. MVP in a 4-Man Battle Royal

Some sort of screw job on Bret Hart heading into WrestleMania

That’s what I expect out of RAW next week.

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems to be missing the traditional tombstone on Pete Rose by Kane since he is hosting.

[Jeritron]

That's about all I want out of Raw. I'd be even more happy if Kane and Pete Rose had a segment and Pete Rose escaped the tombstone. This way he could try to get his revenge on Kane at Wrestlemania during MITB, and eat a tombstone on the ladder or something.

I highly doubt that they'd put that kind of thought into it/fly him in for Mania just for that. I'd love it though.

The typical tag matches and promos to hype mania are great, but I'm ready. Nothing they do next week is likely to make me any more or less excited for the PPV. The build has done it's job already I think.

With that being said, I predict and would like to see a Last Chance Battle Royal on the show with Kofi qualifying for MITB.
I won't be peeved either way though.

[Damian Rey]

I know I'm two days late, but I had a blast at Raw. The girlfriend took some pretty decent pics I'll try and post soon. I was a tad disappointed that I didn't see a stunner. But no worries.

I was surrounded by a bunch of Cena fans who gave me the dirtiest of looks when I was booing my lungs out. When he lost, I said "I'm so happy". The kids' faces around me made the night.

And of course I mark liked a 5 year old little kid when Bret hit the entrance ramp.

Picture to come...

:rofl: glorious

[Londoner]

Just seen the opening of raw again, nah def not a fuck up, can tell what they were doing now.

[Londoner]

Loving this last segment.

[Londoner]
