Monday night RAW Jan 24, 2005

[jerichoholic169]

2001 had the big show as a surprise entrant i think....you know the one with drew carey in. and big show chokeslammed about 10 ppl before rocky eliminated him then got chokeslammed through the annoucing table. funnily enough i think thats the only time i ever remember JR and kings announce table getting broken instead of the spanish one...

[Gone Mad]

I want reps too. I've been good... I think.

Old Man v. The other guy with the initials. Next! ...god, that was stupid!

[Joe Kerr]

Was that the one with Drew Carey?


no that was a few years earlier...That was great though Drew trying to pay off Kane

[The Answer]

I gotta spread more....hell half you rep is from me anyways...I remember when you were in Red

Actually 1/4 but who's counting :D

[RemyRed]

Randy Orton and Flair again..:Meh:

[46 & 2]

Wow, look at those "OOO OOOO" signs. Nice camerawork.

[Gone Mad]

The Masterpiece, coming soon to Sunday Night Heat.

Did someone miss Lex Luger so much, they had to bring that gimmick back.. every year?

[Joe Kerr]

Peter Griffin - Hey Brian theres a message in my Alphabets...it says OOOOOOOO
Brian - Peter those are Cheerios

[RemyRed]

He'll be better than Hassan (gonmad)

[The Answer]

No Pyro? Must be busted

Btw Thanks Deadman Inc for the rep.13 points to go

[Splaya]

LOL at the fan spelling Randy's name OrtEn

[McLegend]

I'd rather have the gimmick then have Lex Luger.

[Shadow]

Last year

So....is he in the Rumble this year or is eDGE being dumb?

[Joe Kerr]

Randie Orten

[jerichoholic169]

I know Angle was in the 04 and 02 Rumbles. Not sure about any others right off.

2000 he lost to tazz.
2001 he beat HHH in the title match.
2002 he was the last eliminated from the rumble.
2003 he beat benoit in the title match.
2004 he eliminated goldberg from the rumble.

i think its mainly due to edge getting a bit excited and forgetting who was in the rumble....who can blame him watching RAW is HHH.

[Shadow]

No Pyro? Must be busted

Btw Thanks Deadman Inc for the rep.13 points to go

There's some rep for you.

[Joe Kerr]

So....is he in the Rumble this year or is eDGE being dumb?


Angle has a match against JBL and Bigshow for the title at RR. So I doubt he is in the Rumble

[Gone Mad]

Damn! I forgot Family Guy was on! Just you 24 guys, I'll watch this instead for the last 15 minutes.

[46 & 2]

Flair doin the flopster. Just need the top rope throw and the flip over the turnbuckle (if he can still do that) then we can get this match done.

[Joe Kerr]

I like how my RAW threads become rep threads lol

[jerichoholic169]

why does flair always take those back body drops on his side - it looks really awkward. is it his back?

[Shadow]

COMERCIAL BREAK DURING MAIN EVENT! DRINK!

[Joe Kerr]

lol HHH avoiding eye contact with Batista

[Gone Mad]

eDGE IS dumb.

And I think anyone would take the gimmick over having Lex. Just use the eDGE sentence and replace eDGE with Lex and dumb with turd.

[Shadow]

why does flair always take those back body drops on his side - it looks really awkward. is it his back?

He's what...70? Would you want to take a back body drop on your back?

[RemyRed]

Time to get a 7up

[The Answer]

why does flair always take those back body drops on his side - it looks really awkward. is it his back?

Most likely it's taken so much punishment over the year's I can't blame him

[46 & 2]

Ok, I have to ask, what's with spelling it eDGE?

[jerichoholic169]

Ok, I have to ask, what's with spelling it eDGE?

cos he's a jackass

[Gone Mad]

I like how my RAW threads become rep threads lol

That deserves a rep.

[Shadow]

Have we had a Flair Old Man Flop?

[46 & 2]

Flair kind of did the turnbuckle flip. That's 2 of 3.

[Joe Kerr]

Flair needs knee pads that stay up

[Thriller]

why does flair always take those back body drops on his side - it looks really awkward. is it his back?
He was in a plane crash in the seventies and broke his back,ever since he has landed on his side so not to risk paralasis .It explains it in his book

[46 & 2]

The flop and the flip have been done. He just needs to try to hit some move from the top rope (still unknown what it's supposed to be after so many years) and get thrown off.

[Mayo]

why does flair always take those back body drops on his side - it looks really awkward. is it his back?His back was injured early in his career in a near-fatal plane crash.

Already had him thrown off the top rope. Now we need the Flop cause I haven't seen it.

[Joe Kerr]

Does HHH only wrestle at PPV's or something?

[jerichoholic169]

He was in a plane crash in the seventies and broke his back,ever since he has landed on his side so not to risk paralasis .It explains it in his book

i would rep you for that but my computer's spazzing out...thanks anyway

[46 & 2]

Randy's Ortin' up!!!

[The Answer]

here comes the flop

[Gone Mad]

I would mad pop if Flair's top rope move, the one he has been trying years to do, was a 450 leg Splash. It would be worth the wait and all those silly flips.

[Shadow]

FLOP! DRINK!

[46 & 2]

ANOTHER FLOP!!!!!!!!!!

[jerichoholic169]

wow two flair flops in one match....feel so honoured...

[The Answer]

I would mad pop if Flair's top rope move, the one he has been trying years to do, was a 450 leg Splash. It would be worth the wait and all those silly flips.

If Flair tried that he would crack his hip

[Shadow]

REF BUMP! DRINK!

[46 & 2]

If Flair does a 450 at his final Wrestlemania, I will lose bowel control.

[jerichoholic169]

who wouldn't..

[Shadow]

MORE STUFF! DRINK!

[46 & 2]

Another ref bump!!! Another HHH interference!! Let's keep this shit repeating!

[Gone Mad]

Doesn't anyone know that HHH likes to push around refs and all this... so why is he allowed out with Flair or anyone else? ...Oh, I forgot who writes the shows. Nevermind.

[Shadow]

RKO! DRINK!

[Joe Kerr]

RKO/STUNNER

[The Answer]

RKO!!!!!

[jerichoholic169]

a boot to the face will knock HHH out but no one's finisher will.....HHH should really be in a hair shampoo advert, his hair always seems to be glowing.

[46 & 2]

"Count him faster!!" Come on, JR, that wouldn't be right. That is conduct unbecoming of a guy with his own day. You never hear MLK Jr saying "kill whitey!!" in his speeches.

[The Answer]

Well Raw's over and I fell short of my goal by 8 rep points darn

[Gone Mad]

ULTIMATE FIGHTER'S ON! DRINK1!!!!#w

[46 & 2]

Raw sucked! Drink until it was awesome!

[Gone Mad]

Good stuff, everyone. Sorry, DeadManWalkin, about the goal. Don't worry, my goal didn't happen either. 237 points to a 3rd dot... DENIED!

:'(

[Lara Emily]

or so they want you to believe :wtf:
Actually Benoit does live in Atlant and Jericho was born in NY, but on;y because his father was playing for the Rangers at the time.

[Mayo]

Good stuff, everyone. Sorry, DeadManWalkin, about the goal. Don't worry, my goal didn't happen either. 237 points to a 3rd dot... DENIED!

:'(Actually I put him over the top after Raw finished :cool:

[AJHayes]

I dunno about anyone else... (ie. I didn't bother to read all the posts on here) BUT, I totally marked for Batista and William Regal tonight... (Espicially Regal/Tajiri)

[Ketchup]

mayo put me over 3 dots.

[AJHayes]

Best. Fucking Theme. Ever.

AYAAYAYAYAYAYAYAYALALALALLALLALALATONGATONGATONGA!

Those aren't the lyrics.... "ClickClickClick... DurkaDurkaDurka.. JIHAD!!!"

[Ketchup]

Maven made me lol out loud.

[Hired Hitman]

who wouldn't..
Not Ric Flair. http://www.tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif

[AJHayes]

I like how they did this Kane/Snitsky tonight. However... I would rather have my eyes gouged out with a bouncey ball than watch another one of their shit-fests.

[The Answer]

Actually I put him over the top after Raw finished :cool:

:y: That second dot looks good

[Gouda]

Raw Thoughts:

- What the hell was with using up all their big name talent in the opening match of the card?

-During that match it occured to me that Christian NEEDS to eliminate Edge from the Royal Rumble. It will be Edge and Michaels standing, Edge will be glaring at him but then before they can fight, Christian will go and eliminate Edge. Edge goes nuts. Christian laughs. Tomko rubs his chin.

- Speaking of Tomko, his beard gets gayer every week. It was ok when it was just the goatee but now he's growing it all around and looks real ugly.

- Speaking of Christian, how cool is his entrance attire?

- So what? Bischoff's a heel again?

- So Tajiri finally gets on RAW and makes me happy. Than he jobs to Viscera. I would have at least wanted to see a more competitve match if they were going to make Tajiri lose. Have Tajiri kick Viscera's stomache and see his foot bounce off.

- So Regal and Tajiri were going to get some revenge on Bischoff but then did nothing? Maybe... they will go to Smackdown! That would rock! They could qualify as Smackdown stars and than they'd eliminate Viscera, Coach, and a bunch of other RAW people as revenge against Bischoff as well as get them over on Smackdown.

- Maven is awesome on the microphone. But he REALLY should have won that match. I don't know why they are just jobbing him out. First Benjamin in 3 second matches and then he loses to two people who could barely move and got badly hurt by the simplest of moves? Screw that. He really should have just snuck in a pin after Snitksy and Kane fought each other and then bounced around and celebrated like it was the greatest win of his life.

- Tag titles get made to look like a joke again. And seriously what was up with them selling that Batista stuck the flagpole in Grenier's ass when anyone with half a brain could clearly see that it wasn't?

- Someone else should have gotten the opportunity to punk out JR. HHH doesn't need the heat.

- HHH avoiding eye contact with Batista was pretty hilarious.

- I love Flair.

- I can't stand Randy Orton. I'm seriously having doubts about ordering the Royal Rumble now. Only good match other than the Rumble is Edge/HBK.

EDIT:

More thoughts:

- Why does Mark Lloyd have to change his look every freaking week?Pick something and stick with it!

- Is it just me or did Randy have a boner?

[RemyRed]

This Raw was great.

When Danny Hodge came out I got sad because I thought "Man, if Orton was still heel I'd love to see him come out of nowhere and RKO that guy".

[Ketchup]

Is it just me, or do they no longer do the "Smackdown Rebound"? Or have I just missed it everytime for the last month or so?

[Gouda]

Is it just me, or do they no longer do the "Smackdown Rebound"? Or have I just missed it everytime for the last month or so?

They still do it. They did it this week. I must say so myself, the Smackdown Rebound is better than the Smackdown show itself. What with all the fancy editing and highly dramatic music overtop.

[Ketchup]

hmmm, musta been in the pisser.

[AJHayes]

"That old man" Boasts quite an impressive resume! Surprised we haven't heard anything about him.
