Official RAW Thread for 09/06/10 - In Your House: Revenge of the Taker II - NNNNN

[Mike Honcho]

THE FUTURE CHAMP IS HERE.

[Furious Beardsley]

so why does john cena face the winner?

because the GM said so, that's why.

[ClockShot]

Edge and Cena at ringside, too.

What are the odds Cena vs. Orton/Wade ends up as a triple threat or all 5 guys in the ring next week?

[Furious Beardsley]

I would say odds are high

[Joe Kerr]

Hey fella, ya fella

[blak23]

they could have way more fun with this commentary

[Furious Beardsley]

Can anyone else barely hear Edge?

[rated rjo]

If Edge ever retires, I wouldn't mind him announcing.

[Furious Beardsley]

uh-oh...Barrett screwed up, Orton is pissed

[Mike Honcho]

lol 55 hailmary's a day

[What Would Kevin Do?]

LOL

Absolutely no reaction.

[rated rjo]

young?

[ClockShot]

Holy unexpected, Batman.

[BizarroKing]

Well this was random

[Furious Beardsley]

Darren Young...interesting, honestly didn't see this coming.

[Joe Kerr]

Darren Young.....cheer???nah

[Skippord]

Darren Young's music is pretty badass though

[RGWhat316]

Sorry Darren, u were the weakest link.

[ClockShot]

Heh heh Darren's dead.

[Joe Kerr]

Darren young in the 6 pack challenge and pins Wade for the title HILLARIOUS

[Furious Beardsley]

Cena vs. Orton...That'll be match of the year next week...can't wait :|

[BizarroKing]

and Young gets a RKO, thanks for nothing.

[blak23]

so young is getting a push?

[RGWhat316]

RKO's all around!

[rated rjo]

HOLY HELL!!!!

[Joe Kerr]

Cenas the smart one staying out of the ring

[BizarroKing]

Cena vs. Orton...That'll be match of the year next week...can't wait :|

U can see it on all of the WWE DVDs of 2009

[Snowden]

Orton is so fucking hot right now. LOVE it.

[owenbrown]

DAMMIT STOP FUCKING BURYING NEXUS!

[Furious Beardsley]

so young is getting a push?

more like a quick rub I think, he won't last much longer I think.

[VSG]

Random 2nd hour of Raw.

[Joe Kerr]

Buckweat gets a push????

[Cool King]

so young is getting a push?

He was until he got an RKO.

[DInsaneOne]

Darren Young's music woke me up from sleep...i was like what the fuck is that....

badass music i agree skippord

[Furious Beardsley]

Staredown to end Raw? What a cliffhanger! Tune in next week kiddies, same WWE time, same WWE channel.

[BizarroKing]

Well that was a interesting....staredown

[Joe Kerr]

Orton shoulda kicked Cenas ass while Cena was taking his shirt off...its the perfect moment to RKO him

[rated rjo]

They aren't really going to give away that match on TV are they?

[Furious Beardsley]

post-Raw dark match, Cena vs. Orton vs. Sheamus more than likely with Cena picking up the win to send everyone home happy.

[Emperor Smeat]

Why couldn't the WWE have made the 900th special as good as this week.

Minus a few dull parts, this RAW was good especially the Miz-Bryan promo and the Jericho-Morrison match.

[rated rjo]

I smell a serious swerve next week. Jericho maybe.

[Snowden]

post-Raw dark match, Cena vs. Orton vs. Sheamus more than likely with Orton picking up the win to send everyone home happy.

[VSG]

If they had stopped after hour 1, it would have been better.

[Joe Kerr]

If they had stopped after hour 1, it would have been better.

Still better than last nights TNA PPV

[rated rjo]

Let's check the scorecard:

0 points for opening segment with Nexus and Orton (Less Nexus and More Barrett I say)
+2 points for Jericho / Morrision (includes match and later promo backstage with both)
+2 points for Orton / Barrett match (includes match and final segment, with Young interference and RKO MANIA)
+1 point for Edge / Ryder promo (funny stuff)
+1 point for Bryan / Miz Promo

-2 point for Edge / Khali (The match was restarted so it counts as doubly bad)
-1 point for Alicia Fox "Undefined" Title comment

0 points for Alicia / Melina match
0 points for Maryse / Dibiase Segment - Let's see if it goes anywhere first.

All in all, much better Raw than last week.

[Volare]

For once WWE shocked the hell out of me with a random Darren "Black Cena" Young appearance.

[Mike Honcho]

Darren Young does have a pretty sweet theme.

[Volare]

Better than AmDrag....that's scary.

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty solid show tonight.

I might have to pull a swerve next week to have this Cena/Orton match not happen. Now that they are both face, a meeting between the two has potential to be bigger than ever, and should definitely be happening at a PPV and not free on TV.

Edge was pretty hilarious tonight.

Not sure what is going on with Jericho. Optimistic me says that he is sticking around and that this is the start of a face turn for him.

[XCaliber]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Young is still part of Nexus there just using him to give Cena a false sense of security and it will cost him the WWE title at NOC.

[Mr. C]

Goldust gave Maryse the note! She’s a gold digger… he’s Goldust… what more do you need? That would be awesome.

It would make more sense if John Morrison is in the Six Pack Challenge now that Chris Jericho is out. That would’ve gave Morrison more incentive to win.

[XCaliber]

Having Morrison of all people to win the WWE Championship in an upset only to be robbed in the end by The Miz would be one of the most ideal directions they could go and it would be priceless at that.

If anything, considering how ridiculously over Orto has gotten since the fans turned him face, they shoould save Cena/Orton for WrestleMania next year.

Just keep building Orton and Cena up, and have one of them, preferably Cena, win the title a couple of months before Mania. Have them cross paths a couple times, like at Elimination Chamber, where one costs the other the title.

With both being the two top faces in the company, and with that kind of dynamic not happening at Mania in ages, they should hold off rushing into anything and let the build happen for Mania

While I like the idea, i don't think Morrison randomly winning the title without any build, only to lose it seconds later, would have the payoff it deserves.

[Damian Rey]

Am I the only wo thinks Morrison winning the belt randomly only to lose to the Miz seconds later is a bad idea at this moment in time?

[XCaliber]

Actually quite the opposite it would finally thrust them into the main event picture at the same time and we could end up possibly seeing more great matches between them.

[Providence Peep]

I would say odds are high

I would say CM Punk isn't.

[Providence Peep]

I think Darren Young had a lot of nerve to go to the ring and call himself the missing link.

If Morrison wasn't so low on the card and actually had some consistent, long term momentum behind him, then yes, I could see where you're coming from. But we are talking about a guy who hasn't done anything on Raw of relevance.

Not to say he couldn't, but I think he needs to be built up more have a few upper mid card programs to get him over before he gets a 2 second title reign.

I agree that the matches would be stellar. But I don't think Morrison has enough steam behind him yet to be on that level. Kayfabe wise, Miz is miles ahead of JoMo right now.

The Miz is already a main event act. He just doesn't have the title to go with yet, but he is the top heel on Raw. I don't care that Sheamus has the belt, no heel is hotter than the Miz right now.

[bigslimjj]

Raw wasn't half bad tonight. There was a lot of sloppiness though. Miz and Bryan was great. A-RI sighting=ratings. Morrison is in my opinion better then Miz. He had an awesome match with Jericho,but who doesn't really? When Josh asked Jericho "What will you do now?" A guy in the audience started a TNA chant that was very audible.lol. WWE helped out TNA again with the WWE classics moment. The divas suck...and not in a good way.(like Lita!) Edge/Khali was pointless,stupid,boring etc. Young is with Nexus. Barrett wins the belt at NOC. Finally,why the fuck do I have to watch SuperCena vs. Robot Orton....again!? And it's raw roulette,so there will be a stip. Problem is they have done almost every damn match type against each other. Unless they bust out the bullrope I don't know what else they can do. Raw gets a 6 out of 10. For laziness as usual and botches throughout. Y2J for TNA! I'm starting the grassroots campaign right here,right now.

I agree. It would crowd the main event lineup right now. We have Cena, Sheamus, Orton, Barrett, Edge, and Jericho all in contention for the title right now, and Triple H should be coming back pretty soon. If you add both Morrison and Miz to the main event circle it would become huge. At every PPV there'd be 8-9 different guys in legitimate contention for the title. While for fans that sounds awesome, for the WWE writers it would add a lot of burden on them because they'd have to write so many different story lines as to why Sheamus isn't currently going after the title, or Orton, or Cena, or anyone else. You get what I mean.

Haha I heard it too.

yeah gonna have to disagree.

[Damian Rey]

Glad a few people can see whwere I'm coming from.

[Haze]

Just heard darren young's new theme, pretty damn sweet
