Official Raw thread(04/18): The Game vs JR?

[James Steele]

Yeah, hope she didn't do it sliding into the ring. :rofl:

[Splaya]

Man I'm playing poker right hand. Juust won 6000 (play money) in one hand on a sit and go tourney.


Now the chip leader :)

[M. Banana]

Holy Shit.

Draft for real!~?

[AareDub]

Wait a minute, shouldn't Vince be pissed that Hogan is back? I mean, didn't he fire Hogan after the Mr. America debacle?
Oh screw it, I'm getting a beer.

I thought Mr. America turned out to be Mark Henry.... you mean to tell me it was Hogan?



...also it makes sense to make the draft happen a month from now. That way it isn't obvious who is staying on the show based on the ppv matches already scheduled.

[James Steele]

Whats under that cloth?

The SmackDown! announce table. That is pretty damn lazy not to wait to move the announce table in until tommorrow night.

[PullMyFinger]

Oh man...if Christian went to Smackdown! and feuded with Cena. It'll prob be the best mic rivalry match up since SCSA and The Rock.

[RottingFreak]

CAPTAIN CHARISMA'S MAIN EVENTING RAW!!!!!!!!! THE PEEPS RULE NY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Splaya]

Those graphics for Backlash are awesome

[James Steele]

Those graphics for Backlash are awesome

Indeed they are. I hope the stage doesn't suck ass like last year.

[RottingFreak]

Yeah Christian is indeed greatness! RAW has become watchable again! THANK YOU C.C!

[The Answer]

I wonder if they will change the announce teams for the shows. Cole has been bitching about wanting to be the number 1 announcer.

[ColdwaVer]

CAPTAIN CHARISMA'S MAIN EVENTING RAW!!!!!!!!! THE PEEPS RULE NY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ten bucks and I'll toss your salad says the match takes less than five minutes.

[Gone Mad]

I thought SD! was taped before Raw tonight, since it's the SuperShow. Oh, well...

Long Promo Man v. Boring BBQ Cowboy! Why is this on... coming up NEXT!

[AareDub]

Those graphics for Backlash are awesome

.... was thinking the same thing

[M. Banana]

Answer my question! :rant:

Please..

[James Steele]

My dream job (next to bitch slapping Lita) would be to design all the PPV stages and stuff.

[Corkscrewed]

Did Vince say exactly when, or did he just say "After Backlash"?

[Taker Fan]

They actually taped SD! already before RAW tonight

[ColdwaVer]

I wonder if they will change the announce teams for the shows. Cole has been bitching about wanting to be the number 1 announcer.

After listening to the past couple of Royal Rumbles, and that Smackdown a few weeks ago, I'd quite like to have Tazz and JR on Raw and Lawler and Cole on Smackdown.

[RottingFreak]

Yeah Triple H should show us his match against Ultimate Warrior. The Pedigree is indeed the end...

[Corkscrewed]

VINCE: "If there's one thing I hate, it's a man who comes down to the ring and talks and talks and doesn't say anything."

Geez, he must hate his son-in-law. No wonder HHH lost at Wrestlemania. :shifty:

[James Steele]

That Drowning Pool version of "The Game" is a good song. Even though they use it too much for HHH vids.

[The Answer]

When the pedigree is nailed it really is game over except if you no sell like Warrior.

[M. Banana]

You all suck le cock.

[Volchok]

Triple H/ Bastista 2... it sounds like a UFC event...

[James Steele]

MiuelBahena speak ye pure ass.

[Splaya]

They actually taped SD! already before RAW tonight
are u serious?


Then why the fuck don't we have spoilers on the forums yet :rant:

[Gone Mad]

Wow, HHH is putting down the entire roster with one promo. He just pedegreed the entire roster in that little segment.

Look at JR walking down that hallway. I sense a Viscera/JR fued in the future and you know that does not sound like it's made out of Sweet and Sour Pork Rinds! ...:shifty:

[Splaya]

They actually taped SD! already before RAW tonight

Then why the fuck do we not have spoilers yet

[PullMyFinger]

After listening to the past couple of Royal Rumbles, and that Smackdown a few weeks ago, I'd quite like to have Tazz and JR on Raw and Lawler and Cole on Smackdown.
:y:

[M. Banana]

That I do me friend.

[M. Banana]

Tazz + JR = Ratings

[RottingFreak]

Vince is an idiot if he didn't notice the response C.C got in NY. Cmon Vince THat guy is greatness!!!

[ColdwaVer]

VINCE: "If there's one thing I hate, it's a man who comes down to the ring and talks and talks and doesn't say anything."

STEPHANIE: Honey, I think Daddy has our bedroom bugged!

[James Steele]

I seriously want to see Bob Stoops come out of the crowd with a steel chair and SWERVE and smash JR with the chair and put on a USC hat.

[Loose Cannon]

Nervous Ferrett is here

[James Steele]

YAY! Now this thread will have 3x the shitty posts.

[YOUR Hero]

If JR doesn't get the win in this match, what purpose does it serve?

[Splaya]

What the fuck, this is the main event. And it's 1053. Something fishy is going on here

[James Steele]

:lol:


Coach: They both have the same weight.

[YOUR Hero]

If JR wins this match, what purpose does it serve?

[AareDub]

You guys want me to post the smackdown spoilers?

[PullMyFinger]

It's weird having King play the face commentator...

[Gone Mad]

The funniest part of this "match" is it is given more time than any of Batista's past main event matches. And this is JR v. HHH.

**** STAY IN THE BACK! THERE'S A SOONER COMIN' THRU! *****

[ColdwaVer]

If JR doesn't get the win in this match, what purpose does it serve?

It gives HHH a hardon.

Hey, if nothing else, we didn't have to listen to his fat face talk all night.

[YOUR Hero]

Who'll come out with JR?

[James Steele]

If JR doesn't get the win in this match, what purpose does it serve?

Well they aren't in Oklahoma so he might win.


In Oklahoma= Assbeating
Out Of Oklahoma = VICTORY

[Corkscrewed]

This better parallel the whooping in the USC/OU Orange Bowl game. :D

[James Steele]

FUCK YOU :rant:

[YOUR Hero]

WOOO

Fast paced, end to end action...

[James Steele]

Just wait til' JR busts out the "Boomer Sooner BBQ 1080 Shooting Star Press".


YOU WILL ALL BOW DOWN BEFORE HIS GREATNESS..BAH GAWD!

[YOUR Hero]

OMG, this match is toooo intense.

[ColdwaVer]

Being constipated is more fun than this.

[James Steele]

MY GOD. THEY LOCK UP IN THE CENTER OF THE RING

[James Steele]

AND A THUNDEROUS RIGHT HAND BY THE GAME!

[The Answer]

The writers couldn't come up with a better main event for MSG? This is like harpooning a whale.

[ColdwaVer]

Ok that almost makes this worthwhile.

[James Steele]

BAH GAWD! A GIANT SLAP BY THE BOOMER SOONER KID!

[James Steele]

The sad thing is that this is better than the Main Event of Bad Blood 2003.

[The Answer]

The finish: Batista comes out beats up HHH. Puts JR on top and he beats HHH

[YOUR Hero]

NO DQ match. These are always the best. I'm dizzy with the OMG he's bleeding!1111

[AareDub]

OK, SD spoilers posted here

http://www.tpww.net/forums/showthread.php?t=29471

[ColdwaVer]

If I had paid to see this live I'd be starting a riot.

[RottingFreak]

I just noticed JR sells moves better than Christy Hemme then again anyone could do that. I didn't have to see her this week. Let's hope it stays that way.(yeah it won't)

[ColdwaVer]

This is all our fault, you know. Vince read TPWW a few times and thought we actually wanted to see JR get the snot beat out of him.

Which many of us did, but not in a damn main event.

[The Answer]

Lawler it's no DQ get down there. Stop bitching

[Gertner]

The Coach > JR

[YOUR Hero]

Bring Chris Masters back out, liven things up.

[Splaya]

JR must have interrupted HHH during a creative meeting.

[ColdwaVer]

Ok, suspension of disbelief aside, this should have happened ten minutes ago.

[Gone Mad]

OMG, NWO REUNITES!!! HOGAN JUST LEG DROPPED HHH AND HBK!!!! MASTERS ALSO JUST EXPLODED!!!! AROEFOGIG RKO!!!!


....god, this is fucking boring.

[YOUR Hero]

Some goos ol' Memphis heel heat right thurr.

[ColdwaVer]

And THIS should have happened an hour ago.

[Splaya]

THANK FUCKING GOD. HERE COMES TISTA

[AareDub]

The Coach > JR

Suddenly.... hypnotized.... by... avatar.....

[Corkscrewed]

woot! Business is about to pick up!!

:D


The beating is good tho. USC style. :D

[YOUR Hero]

I think Batista missed his cue by about 10 minutes.

[James Steele]

HHH was lucky he didn't piss off JR otherwise he could have had to deal with this:
http://img242.echo.cx/img242/6010/buffjimross6kz2eg.jpg

[Zen v.W.o.]

It's sad when the main event scene is shittier then the undercard.

[ColdwaVer]

My God, this is fascinating!

*holds up a can of beer*

Did you know that consumption of alcoholic beverages can impair your ability to drive a car or operate heavy machinery?!

[Splaya]

HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK WHAT A CHAIRSHOT

[YOUR Hero]

Hit him hard with the chair, Batista. Hurt his neck some more.

[Splaya]

OH MY GOD, IF JR PINS HHH IM RUNNING AROUND THE FORUMS GOING CRAZY

[The Answer]

The finish: Batista comes out beats up HHH. Puts JR on top and he beats HHH

What did I tell ya. I should be a WWE writer.

[James Steele]

Good, now JR can do his patented "Boomer Sooner BBQ 1080 Shooting Star Press"

[James Steele]

or Batista can just put JR on top of HHH and get the pin.

[YOUR Hero]

OMG I NEVER SEEN THAT COMING

[ColdwaVer]

Ok, I'll have to play that over and over about 10000 times to make that anywhere near worth my time.

[Corkscrewed]

Hm... I think we saw this before, with someone putting the pin over HHH... I think with Brooklyn Brawler, tho I don't remember for sure.


LMAO. :rofl:

Pretty hilarious ending.

[Splaya]

THAT WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE ENTIRE SHOW OF RAW

[James Steele]

That was anti-climactic (sp?)

[James Steele]

15 minutes ago.

[The Answer]

Didn't they have Jim Ross beat someone before? Who was it again...

[YOUR Hero]

Wow, what a bunch of shit.

[Gone Mad]

**SPOILERS**




Due to his win on this week's Raw, JR v Batista at In Your House 2005, Carlito on a Pole Match for the World Title.

[PullMyFinger]

Shittiest main event of the year.

[McLegend]

I don't wanna hear anyone say the HHH doesn't put over talent.

He just put JR over.

[James Steele]

RUMOR MILL!!!!!:

Ultimate Warrior will sue Jim Ross for ripping his performance from WrestleMania XII

[ColdwaVer]

Yeah, rather than get medical attention for the pulp-beaten senior citizen, Raw's top face instead uses him to spite his adversary. Yeah, you go, creative team.

[RottingFreak]

So the "AnIMAL" saves commenators now??? please...

[Loose Cannon]

LOL, when Lawler came down, an image of him turning on JR and then him doing that ridiculous pose and smile popped into my head.

[PullMyFinger]

LOL, when Lawler came down, an image of him turning on JR and then him doing that ridiculous pose and smile popped into my head.
Same here. LOL I was like that would be great.

Anyhow, the crowd was dead and so was I.

[Gone Mad]

I don't wanna hear anyone say the HHH doesn't put over talent.

He just put JR over.

Problem with this is.... he put JR over. So far in the WWE record books, JR >>>> Hurricane, Booker T, and Rhyno and so on...

[M. Banana]

I seriously though that Lawler would've hit Triple H

[James Steele]

Only JR can hit HHH.


I am pissed WWE watered down JR. LET THE MAN FLY ALREADY!

[RottingFreak]

Only JR can hit HHH.


I am pissed WWE watered down JR. LET THE MAN FLY ALREADY!
ok why do trish's eyes turn white ala Untertaker... :lol:

[James Steele]

You're not old enough for me to explain.

[V]

Daivari pins HBK

JR pins HHH

my prediction for next week:

Chris masters makes Batista tap for the title

[RottingFreak]

You're not old enough for me to explain.
fair enough :y: Still hilarious though :yes:

[James Steele]

If that does occur, I will personally fly to Britian on JR's "BAH GAWD" Jet and kick his ass.


I am also dissappointed a Bob Stoops heel turn didn't occur (see earlier in thread)

[ColdwaVer]

Daivari pins HBK

JR pins HHH

my prediction for next week:

Chris masters makes Batista tap for the title

I'm hoping for a Stevie Richards title run myself.

[Corkscrewed]

Man, remember when they used to pull out all the stops at MSG? Instead, tonight was a pretty bad show overall, not because they didn't do anything, but because they tried to do everything... and nothing worked. Except Christian.

They totally repeated the mistakes of two, three years ago.

[Savio]

I liked hassan.

[RottingFreak]

And what exactly was the point of the JR match??? After all this I'm hoping for a great RAW next week though with C.C main-eventing n all.!

[Gouda]

Okay this was ahorrible Raw. It's only saving grace was Christian. How about them face pops he was getting?

[James Steele]

Goat Boy is holding him back.

[MVP]

WOW terrible. Batista should NOT have needed a chair to take out HHH.

[YOUR Hero]

I was just over at WWE.com and HHH is saying he's going to work a 6 month program with JR. "Things went off so well tonight, the crowd was electric" he stated.
Plans are to retire the championship belt for now, as Batista won't have anyone to carry him while this HHH/JR program plays out. Some sort of traffic accident where Batista is shelved with the title.

[Innovator]

PEEPS UNITE, THE CAPTAIN IS MAIN EVENTING!

[MVP]

But I must say I loved the Xtian/Vince segment, and the Fozzy rendition of "Shelton Benjamin is a Little Bitch". :love:

[James Steele]

Batista should have pulled a Mike Awesome (ala November 2 Remember 1999)

[James Steele]

Speaking of which, I am outta here guys.



PEACE!

[Gouda]

Goat Boy is holding him back.

Goat Boy is growing on me. As someone said, his silent straight man reactions are hilarious.

Like tonight when Christian made him go fetch him a microphone.

[YOUR Hero]

Seriously, Tomko pulls it off really good.

[Mayo]

Yeah, its kind of odd really. I mean Tomko actually got better over time! :eek:

I thought the same thing about Batista (ie. he was shit) when he first started, then he got better. Just gotta give some guys time, and if they can't cut it, then complain.

[wwe2222]

Just got back from the super show at MSG. Good crowd tonight. Being there it was a pretty good RAW despite most of you hating the hogan thing. The real downpoints where Chris Masters and the JR match.

Batista really went into the crowd after the match and celebrated with the fans, he seems like a real cool guy, very humble about being champion.

Hogan-HBK was great to see live. Who cares how long it took, when will you ever get to see two legends like that posedown?

Good to see Big Vis gettin it done tonight, crowd loved his segments.

The Lita slut chants, etc were defeaning in there, it was pretty funny.

Christian got a great pop when he came out, glad to see hes in the main event next week.

[Londoner]

I only saw the last half hour or so of raw since Vince announced the draft happening in a months time. I was glad Christian was getting cheered, i think he was surprised himself, and this shows what i like about WWE fans, if they want to cheer or boo someone they will do so, no matter what they're 'told' to do.

When i was watching the main event i was thinking' What a creative main event for MSG!(sarcasm obviously) Wtf is the point in this shit?" The only good parts were when JR beat HHH(that shocked me) and then Batista hitting HHH with a chair. I don't care if he's a face, I want to see him destroy HHH in a variety of ways, if he uses the powerbomb all the time then it gets boring. I was laughing when JR beat HHH though.

[darkpower]

I wonder if they will change the announce teams for the shows. Cole has been bitching about wanting to be the number 1 announcer.
You know what the weird part is? That Cole is, right now, ten times better than JR will EVER be now.

The bad news of a change of the announce teams? It would mean SmackDown would get screwed again by having a blubbering fat 24-hour-a-day orgasming guy who would botch move names left to right of talent that would desrve so much better. I can imagine him calling a Kurt Angle match:

Angle administers the Ankle Lock to [insert poor sap here].

JR: THERE IT IS, A MODIFIED BOSTON CRAB!! OMGWTFBBQ!!!!

(How's THAT for an instant rep downer?)

[darkpower]

THAT would've done it for me.

[darkpower]

HHH was lucky he didn't piss off JR otherwise he could have had to deal with this:
http://img242.echo.cx/img242/6010/buffjimross6kz2eg.jpg:rofl: :lol: :rofl: :lol: :rofl: :lol:

(and sorry for the triple post, guys. Comp fucking up tonight).

[PureHatred]

Raw reactions form the West Coast:

Loved Viscera. He was like some f'd up Barry White in his segments wuith Trish.

The HeartThrobs remind me of the SNL Night at the Roxbury guys. But they were so green in the ring. Not good.

The Hassan/HBK match was surprisingly suck ass. Sheltom's match was sub-par, too. The build-up for his match with Y2J was great.

The Hogan stuf...meh...it was MSG and they wanted to pull out all the stops. That segment was so long though. Pose after pose after pose.....not a bad moment and I really hope that Hassan's heat doesn't get killed in all this, but Hogan and HBK didn't need 10 minutes worth of airtime after the match was over. They're a 'dream team.' We get it.

Outside of the segment with Christian and Vince, I thought the second half of Raw was really bland. Triple H dominated the show again. I'm not sure where they're going with this Pedigree thing: did he forget he had a finisher in the first match?

Vince/Christian: I liked the crowd's reaction. They actually seemed to dig the draft. Christian is incredible on the mic. He's got that character down pat. The Sheffield reference, the little shrug, the way he played off having to go send Tyson for another mic, the fact that h didn't even blink before he got all ready for Batista...awesome. Vince was Vince, just seeing him do that walk is the goods. And Tomko is really growing on me. I especially loved where, after the Batista announcement, Christian is flexing his shoulders like "Ive got this shit" and Tomko is standing in the background , rolling his eyes as if to say, "what the hell did you get us into."

Not a terrible Raw, but not what i expected from a MSG show.

[SuperSlim]

I liked what they said bout Lita.

[Gouda]

[QUOTE=PureHatred I'm not sure where they're going with this Pedigree thing: did he forget he had a finisher in the first match?[/QUOTE]

Yeah.I'm not quite sure what's up with this thing either. HHH is all "You fear the Pedigree. I should have known. It is the end".

Meanwhile I'm thinking "So what? You didn't try to hit the Pedigree on him before?"

[ford fairlane]

a so-so raw i though,but some stand out moments
and really liked the coach on colour commentary,seemed to add something to the whole show

[John la Rock]

Christian is the man :love:

His Marky Mark comment was awesome :y:

Christian for World Champ 2006

[Psycho C]

Here's my prediction for Backlash:


HHH hits the Pedigree on Batista and Batista kicks out.


No one would ever see the angle played out this way. :shifty:

[Kane Knight]

a so-so raw i though,but some stand out moments
and really liked the coach on colour commentary,seemed to add something to the whole show
A level of competence?

[Londoner]

I think the thing coach added was actually good commentating.

[Kane Knight]

I think the thing coach added was actually good commentating.I disagree. What he added was mediocre commentary, but we're so starved for PBP that's NOT total garbage that it seems superior.

[Londoner]

Sorry, i meant to say good commentating-compared to JR's style, my bad.
