Poor Stacy. Someone should go down there and rub her back for her. And her legs.

Gail Kim has some great moves. :naughty:

Why was King against that suvbmission? He got to see her legs and crotch? You'd think he woulda overloaded.
Gone Mad
06-14-2004, 11:37 PM
JR couldn't have sounded more excited for this match. And King for that matter wasn't thrilled either. Oh and BTW this week's thread raised the slump. We made it past page 4 and the show isn't over yet.
RawRocks
06-14-2004, 11:39 PM
is the Raw brand hurting for matches tonight or something?
Joe Kerr
06-14-2004, 11:39 PM
Ok Im going to guess this is what happens...
They play off that Lita is pregnant with Kanes child. Eric Bishoff threatens Litas Job and Forces her to wrestle. Therefore Lita ends up Losing the child while managing to elevate Matt Hardy vs. Kane. Keep in mind Matt Hardy needs knee surgery.. Im not sure the extent of it or how much time he will need off.

This is why I don't wanna see Raw next week live when it comes over here to Miami. I have that feeling of disappointment,although HHH v. Dinsmore could be interesting. Watch next week is more of a clip show and Joe Schmoe Ad. That would reassure me about not going.

Having Orton as champ still gives the title a lot more credibility than if it was bounced around every month. I want Orton to drop it soon though, he's had it long enough.

Damn I loved how that Raw ended. I didnt like the fact that Orton lost but I liked how Raw actually had a main event that really didnt feel rushed and was able to stay on long. I was impressed with Flair tonight. All that time and he really still does have it in that ring. The only thing that I didnt like was that Flair never really got the win over anyone. Sure he pinned Edge but that was after the RKO from Orton. Its been forever since we have actually seen Flair beat some one with the figure 4.
I cant wait till next week. I have a feeling that Triple H is gonna job to Eugene. I cant believe they are raising him up into the heavyweight spotlight so early. I think its great and I love the comedy he brings to his matches and in his segments. Tonight had to be one of the best segments of all time..

RAW was decent tonight. I still enjoy it better than SD especially since I got to see the ppv last night. Probably the first time in 2 years I have been able to watch a live PPV.
Anyways, opening segment was good. Looks like they are finally gonna end the HBK/HHH feud, especially when HHH said " I hope Shawn is ok". Though they hyped the HIAC as one of the most memorable matches of all time, I don't actually remember a real memorable moment from the match.
It was best they gave the main event an unexpected extra 20 minutes since they spent probably that much promoting Joe Schmo.
And, as many people predicted, Lita is gonna be freakin pregnant with Kane's kid. Why do they have to keep doing this? It will end up with Lita losing the kid, probably due to her being hit in the stomach area. Or like someone else said, she's gonna give birth to Kane's mask or something.

Lara I gotta agree with you here, look at how Brock Lesnar ended up. He was pushed to the moon and got stale faster than Dark_Kane's retard gimmick. Back in the 80's and early 90's guys were built up over a period of a few years (see the Rock, HHH, Bret Hart). Nowadays fans want to see people built up quicker (see Lesnar, Orton). I prefer the older method, as you see the wrestler develop into a main eventer and be able to carry a company if need be.

Sooo many stickies!
whereas i feel his push has been bit much for someone like him, if you're going to play the "legend killer" angle, there's no way you cant build up the guy to be huge. if you dont, but still have him beat those sort of guys, it makes the "legends" look terrible. now that that idea has kind of cooled down and he seems to have fallen into a more "no one respects me" sort of gimmick, i think itll be a good way for him to slow down, learn the ropes some more, play the midcard with guys like shelton benjamin, and eventually jericho. from there on, which should be at least 2 years later, i think he'd definitely be close to main event calibur. the kid has insane potential, he's just pretty jagged around the edges right now

The rest was the HHH show for the 1000th time. They aren't giving him a chance to do shit and it's pissing me off. He could put on 5 star matches againt Jericho, HBK, but instead they throw him against a guy whose been made to look like a complete fool quite a number of times in the past , in Kanw. Then add in that Kane only became the #1 contender because of HBK, in an angle to further HBK vs HHH Part 9000 (I mean shit offically Kane didn't even eliminate HHH, HBK did. Do you know how stupid that made Kane look, and how unimportant that win ends up being as a result?).

The Kane-Benoit match had a pretty bad build up, yes. However I COMPLETELY disagree about Benoit only getting TV time in the main event.
This all goes back to Benoit not having personality or mic skills. The man has amazing wrestling ability... that is all. Forcing a mic on him would only serve to make him look stupid. Instead, they let him come out for the main event to do what he's good at... wrestle. And Raw ends with him not only getting the win, but making Orton, a guy who they have spent months putting over, tap out. They are handling him PERFECTLY. If they wanna put him over as champ (And I don't think they should but, whatever) then they need to do it in the ring.

I'm as much of a purist as they get. Great wrestling is what it's all about. But when it comes down to it, I want to be into the characters who are wrestling and actually be able to feel some emotion coming from the match. With the face Benoit, you get none of that because his character is just not likeable.

I find his intense focus to be quite likeable.
In EWR, Benoit is listed as "No gimmick needed"
Here it is...
"This wrestler doesn't need a fancy gimmick, he just wants to go out and kick some ass. Eg. Chris Benoit" - EWR

See personally, his promos aren't always that bad, his promo right after WM was awesome, his promo at WM was great too. I'm not talking about giving him the mic and having him talk for twenty minutes, I'm talking about having him be there, acknowledge that this guy exists. I mean fuck HHH couldn't even refer to him by name :|. He made him seem irrelvant. Have Benoit be an in your face physical champion not afraid to take on anyone. Do something. Hey I'm not complaining about how the ME ended, that's a start that was postitive, but still they made a good chunk of show about HHH with barely a mention of Benoit.
He needs to be the focus, and again I'm not talking promos, do small vignettes, have him fight off attacks from his challengers, hell have him defend the title twice in one night or something, whatever, but make it so that he looks credible, not just a footnote in the record books in between HHH reigns.

Or better yet, turn him into a guy who will take on anyone, face or heel, turn him into a guy who needs no one and wants no one, a lone wrecking force. He's the perfect person to be a silent killer who kills both faces and heel equally.

I dunno... I don't think Triple H calling him "The champ" made him look bad. It's a compliment if you ask me.
How any human being enjoyed Benoit's speech after WrestleMania is beyond me. (I may be getting it mixed up with his speech after Backlash. One of them was abysmal though.)
I dunno about him being the focus though. Displaying his character probably isn't a good idea. Letting him wrestle the main event and look good is the way to go. No need to over-do it. If he finishes off Raw every week by winning the main event, that should be fine.

Or better yet, turn him into a guy who will take on anyone, face or heel, turn him into a guy who needs no one and wants no one, a lone wrecking force. He's the perfect person to be a silent killer who kills both faces and heel equally.
They should also give him a manager. Kinda like the "He's the only man who can control him" type manager.

As it stands though there's no one to put him with and it's too late. The bottom line is Benoit (and as a result the championship belt) has been made to look like just an afterthought. Of course the WWE will not acknowledge this and merely claim he just couldn't run with the ball and that'll justify putting the belt back on HHH.

I dunno... I don't think Triple H calling him "The champ" made him look bad. It's a compliment if you ask me.
How any human being enjoyed Benoit's speech after WrestleMania is beyond me. (I may be getting it mixed up with his speech after Backlash. One of them was abysmal though.)
I dunno about him being the focus though. Displaying his character probably isn't a good idea. Letting him wrestle the main event and look good is the way to go. No need to over-do it. If he finishes off Raw every week by winning the main event, that should be fine.
It was in the tone, your buddy the world champion, is a backhanded compliment at best.
His promo after WM where he and HHH faced off in the ring and then Benoit decked him was great.
See his character is a silent, agreesive, talented wrestler, let him show that, like in as I said in multiple defences from time to time. Have Jr and King really put over that this guy is the best there is right now, and stop making HHH the focus of every show.

Johnny Nitro could manage him as a heel.
I don't really think it's too late though. I can almost garuntee Benoit will be main eventing next month's PPV since I doubt any match they could make now would be big enough to push the World Title match out of it's spot.

Oh no doubt but for all we know it could end up being against HHH. Or they could put him into some tag match

Nah. HHH-Benoit will probably be saved for Summer Slam.
I think Benoit is either going to face Orton or Edge next month. No clue what Triple H will be doing.
Make Benoit a 'fighting' champion. Like Lara said, have him defend the title regularly, and let him rack up some convincing wins over credible opponents. Ta-dah! Benoit gets over, title gets over.

Or even better for a manager... what about Chris Nowinski? He's supposed to come back soon in a non-wrestling role from what I've heard. And he's got the personality to get over really fast. Plus, since Nowinski is the man, I would be forced to love Benoit by association.

That's what they're doing. He beat HHH and HBK cleanly 2 months in a row making both of them tap out. Doesn't get much more credible than that. Not to mention the whole two matches in one night thing.

No, crediblity is a must you cannot just throw a low carder into a managerial role of the World's Champion. Heyman is and remains the best option. Really the only option, unless they bring back Jim Cornette :D

They are doing somethings right yes, but then they take focus away from Benoit also, I mean hell part of WM XX turned into HHH vs HBK again. Through out it was still a large part about HHH vs HBK.

Yeah I know, but the whole 3 way dance feud was about HHH and HBK. All the shit about "HHH and HBK have another chance to regain the title and show who's more superior". Benoit was just another guy conveniently holding the championship for them to take, thank you very much. There wasn't much focus on Benoit's first PPV defence of the title.
And the tag title thing is just ridiculous. The tag division is in shambles (as noted by almost everyone here). Edge is returning! Benoit needs some credibility! Quick-fix: Give them the titles! :roll: La Resistance winning the titles was the best thing to happen to it, IMO. It just seemed ridiculous that Benoit would go for 2 titles, when it was so obvious that his feud with Kane was non-existant.

Hell you wanna really get Benoit over if he ever turns heel have a bunch of manager vie for him: Cornette (if you can get him), Heyman, etc...

But in a way, if you say the triple threats with HBK and HHH were all about building the HHH and HBK feud, doesn't the fact that he beat them both cleanly in consecutive months kinda say he is bigger than them and their feud?

Not really, you'd think that, but the way they began to build HHH vs HBK at Bad Blood, and just the whole general deal with Kane and the battle royale all of it made HHH vs HBK more important. HHH vs HBK became the focus and thus Benoit became an afterthought.

Oh and call me a whinny bitch all you want but I don't watch wrestling for the promos, or the excessive bleeding in long overdrawn, overhyped matches, I watch it for wrestling and Benoit is the best there is out there and my god he deserves better then this, he's the World Champion, not HHH, not HBK give him a fucking chance for christ sakes.
Vince has to go for what sells and entertains. Benoit is a great wrestler but on the mic he is boring. Benoit isn't that entertaining.
Just let Benoit and the WWE run its course. The ratings will prove who is right :D

I haven't read the whole thread, so forgive me if I'm repeating someone else's opinions.
I really dug Triple H tonight. It was the rare RAW that reminded me of why he used to be one of the best in the business. The Highlight Reel was the most entertaining I've seen Hunter in months, and I hope they have a good plan for Monday's match.
Who would have thought it would take Nick Dinsmore playing a retard to bring out the best in the Game?

as Much as you hate to admit it HHH does sell. Triple H is one of the best wrestlers and that isnt just my opionon. Wrestlers that work with Hunter express how safe they feel in the ring with him. HHH is by far the best heel. he can draw heat, he doesnt suck on the mic and he actually knows how to wrestle.

:wtf: what the fuck?
His mic work is nothing anymore, his ring work is even less, I have not seen one quote about peopel feeling safe with Hunter (what that has to do with anything is beyond me), he doesn't draw (not since 2000 when he was actually good), so no I don't have to admit anything. HHH does not sell.

I have to agree, the Highlight Reel was quite a decent segement. Stongest Trips has been IMO since 2000, but I doubt this is a sign of thngs to come.

I beleive you should then go back and watch the Mania of Wrestlemania.....I hate when you respond to things that your "Guessing" about.. Kurt Angle had a match with Brock Lesnar and Angles neck was botherng him. He stated he would feel a lot safer in the ring with HHH. Other wrestlers backstage have also commented that Hunter is one of the safest wrestlers out there.
Hiac was by far the best match at Bad Blood and HHH and HBK drew that crowd in. You didnt watch it so you cant complain about it or argue other wise. I suggest you rent or buy the DVD when it comes out then make a argument.
