Official RAW Thread for 05/23/05: Batista vs Edge

[Zen v.W.o.]

aw yeah. Vis is the man. Rapes the coach's ass.

Vis screwed Coach.

[RawRocks]

What a Raw! This is the best Raw in ages!

[Shadow]

Viscera is a bitch. I could so take him....infact, if I was a fan in the crowd I would jump the rail and beat his fat ass down.

And after he sits on you, you die.

Are you really fucking serious? it's more humorous than Chris Masters. So back the fuck off Big Vis.

[Bischoff187]

Viscera is a bitch. I could so take him....infact, if I was a fan in the crowd I would jump the rail and beat his fat ass down.


Im going to kill you.

[Innovator]

Viscera vs. Kurt Angle, battle of the sex freaks

[Savio]

Angle would go for lita

[darkpower]

No TLD...you do not get my drugs when I OD on them. Kane Knight does.
And TLD is now a dumbass bitch, and I know why. Because he got high! Because he got high! Because he got high!

[Shadow]

Viscera vs. Kurt Angle, battle of the sex freaks

It would draw.

And is Edge molesting himself?

[Face Heely]

What a Raw! This is the best Raw in ages!

Would you say, perhaps, that this Raw...Rocks?

:lol: :rofl: Hoo, that was great... :-\

[Innovator]

LETS GO TEAM ETC!

[The Answer]

Viscera is a bitch. I could so take him....infact, if I was a fan in the crowd I would jump the rail and beat his fat ass down.

The coach could probably take you out never mind Viscera.

[Azriel]

Edge and Lita actually look pretty good together I must say.

[ilt_undertaker]

Viscera is a bitch. I could so take him....infact, if I was a fan in the crowd I would jump the rail and beat his fat ass down.
Right.

Innovator, shhh! She's not that pretty

And Chyna is beautiful, as is Nicole Bass and JAZZ! :D

[Innovator]

Edge/Tomko/Christian

[Innovator]

ETC! ETC! ETC! ETC! ETC! ETC! ETC! ETC! ETC! ETC! ETC! ETC! ETC!

[Azriel]

If Edge were to win the title, I'd probably mark the hell out

[The Answer]

Lita is starting to remind me of one of those rock and roll groupies. Here comes they Animal!!!!

[The Lone Drinker]

And after he sits on you, you die.

Are you really fucking serious? it's more humorous than Chris Masters. So back the fuck off Big Vis.

Actually, I like Chris Masters and I enjoy his promos more then Viscera. At least Chris Masters knows how to wrestle and he is a young man who has a future in the business.

Viscera/Mabel was given the ball many times and kept dropping it.

Viscera is an old, boring, outdated character that has 1999 written all over it.

Only reason why Viscera is around now is because he is being used as a joke.

This whole thing is a 15 minutes of fame thing. Once his 15 minutes are up, some new guy will come along and destroy him and Viscera will go back to Memphis where he belongs.

So enjoy the Viscera crap while you can. I hope you've been taping Raw because believe me, this Viscera nonsense is already starting to slowly fade.

[darkpower]

My question is about this match: Can they get the same kind of kick ass match out of this that they got out of JBL/Cena last night?

[Azriel]

You're delusional ilt, but that's okay. We all have our little quirks

[Innovator]

Honestly if Maria walked up to you and said "I wanna get a dick sucking marathon on wit y'all", no guy would say no

(rep for reference)

[Gone Mad]

It's the Deacon Batista v. Conquistador and Miss Congeniality! And the Deacon better keep that title, OH TESTIFY!

[darkpower]

WTF?!! Did King just call Batista a hoss?

[Shadow]

Right.

Innovator, shhh! She's not that pretty

And Chyna is beautiful, as is Nicole Bass and JAZZ! :D

Can I ask you this ilt....are you a lesbian?

[Face Heely]

Aaaaand the crowd goes mild.

It's okay, Batista. I'm still cheering for you...even if it frightens my dog. (And she'd be cheering, too, if she could comprehend anything other than food/not food.)

[The Answer]

My question is about this match: Can they get the same kind of kick ass match out of this that they got out of JBL/Cena last night?

I believe they can because JBL can't wrestle for shit and this match will have a better pace to it

[darkpower]

Only thing that could top all what I saw is the return of V-ONNNAAAAHHHH!!

Of course, we all can dream, can we?

[Azriel]

Too bad no Stacy, Candice, Trish, Victoria, or Christy, but still an awesome show

[Shadow]

Only thing that could top all what I saw is the return of V-ONNNAAAAHHHH!!

Of course, we all can dream, can we?

I dream of a Maria/Trish/Stacy/me foursome.

[Innovator]

CAPTAIN CHARISMA!

[Innovator]

ETC!

[Gone Mad]

!!!!!! PEEPS UNITE! IT'S THE ARRIVAL OF CAPTAIN CHARISMA AND OFFICER GOAT-BOY! !!!!

[ilt_undertaker]

You're delusional ilt, but that's okay. We all have our little quirks
Pfft, your'e delusional.

Innovator, SHHHH!

And Shadow, im not a lesbian :p

[darkpower]

I believe they can because JBL can't wrestle for shit and this match will have a better pace to it
Still...that match last night WAS the shit that I guess JBL was wrestling for, because I am convinced that it was a damn good match they had.

[The Lone Drinker]

Right.

Innovator, shhh! She's not that pretty

And Chyna is beautiful, as is Nicole Bass and JAZZ! :D

I actually agree, but so is that other chick. I have only recently gotten back into wrestling so I don't know who the fuck she is.

And I could take Viscera. Viscera is just tall and fat.

Anyway, speaking of jokes.....look at Davey B. there....he's too damn old to be the champ.......I hope Edge wins...and Christian gets the contract....

[darkpower]

I dream of a Maria/Trish/Stacy/darkpower foursome.

[Shadow]

And Shadow, im not a lesbian :p

Well there goes your place in the dream.

[Innovator]

Edge wins the title

Christian grabs the briefcase and signs the contract

pins Edge

wins the World Title...TONIGHT

[Shadow]

I DO NOT DREAM OF THAT DARKPOWER! GOD DAMN IT!

[RawRocks]

Skittles Bubble Gum?? puhlease!

[Innovator]

Pfft, your'e delusional.

Innovator, SHHHH!

And Shadow, im not a lesbian :p
you can't silence me!

[ilt_undertaker]

Too bad no Stacy, Candice, Trish, Victoria, or Christy, but still an awesome show
OMG Christy has THE biggest forehead, lol

[Innovator]

Batista, the World champ he is

[darkpower]

I DO NOT DREAM OF THAT DARKPOWER! GOD DAMN IT!
LMAO!!!

I dream of kicking the living SHIT out of Lance Krall

[Shadow]

Uh........so now it's a 4 on 1? Interesting.

Time for Flair's fake face turn of the year.

[ilt_undertaker]

Well there goes your place in the dream.
:(

Innovator, Kane > Chris :p

[Innovator]

:(

Innovator, Kane > Chris :p
do we really have to go back to this?

[darkpower]

Edge/Lita = Modern Day Tommy/Pamela

[The Lone Drinker]

I feel sorry for the few girls that post here. All these horny computer nerds are always bothering them and talking about lesbian stuff. ilt_undertaker should have just come on here, pretending to be a gay man. I know you'd all leave her alone then.

Anyway, enough of the flirting. The ones with self control are trying to discuss this wrestling match.

[ilt_undertaker]

Anyway, speaking of jokes.....look at Davey B. there....he's too damn old to be the champ.......I hope Edge wins...and Christian gets the contract....
Your hopes will be dashed.

[RawRocks]

Lance Krall..

darkpower.. i will join you in kicking his ass

[Shadow]

It's just you King.

Now show me your....yes! Kill him! Kill them All!

[ilt_undertaker]

do we really have to go back to this?
You gave me no other choice

[Face Heely]

look at Davey B. there....he's too damn old to be the champ.......

Batista is 39. E&C are 32. Austin, just for the sake of comparison, is 41, which would've put him in his mid-thirties during the peak years, then late thirties during the Invasion (if I have my dates correct).

Just because I think Batista makes a great champion, regardless of his age. :D

[darkpower]

Lance Krall..

darkpower.. i will join you in kicking his ass
It will be funnier than anything Krall can ever come up with.

[Shadow]

Can you just shut the hell up for once? God damn it I'm having a good time and you have to ruin it.

And let's see if this goes to overrun time. I hope it does.

[ilt_undertaker]

Is Batista really 39?

[Innovator]

You gave me no other choice
ok tonight, Benoit wins, Kane cries

[darkpower]

The world champion has the sleep hold applied?

JR, are you calling Edge the champ ALREADY?!! Idiot

[The Lone Drinker]

Your hopes will be dashed.

We'll see about that. Edge has the talent to be the top heel in the WWE as world champ. He deserves a chance as much as anybody.

...Ha, JR is yelling at the King about Lita...The King reminds me of the pervs on here....

Well, like JR said....this ain't about the women, fellas. It's about wrestling so control your damn hormones.

[RawRocks]

Is Batista really 39?
yep!

[Shadow]

The world champion has the sleep hold applied?

JR, are you calling Edge the champ ALREADY?!! Idiot

TLD is on the other end of that headset talking to JR.

[Face Heely]

For all my rampant adoration of all things Batista, I am kinda bored by this match...mostly because of the lack of interesting character development/storylines for the champ.

[Azriel]

Edge/Lita = Modern Day Tommy/Pamela
Where's the sex tape then?

[Gone Mad]

I'm sorry if I offended ya, ilt. You know I, the Mad One, dig you more than any of those girlies on TV. So kids, stop hating on the ilt!

And yes, death to Lance Krall and the Krall show! This is an alright match too.

[Azriel]

Gee, ref bump. How obvious

[Shadow]

REF BUMP! DRINK!

[darkpower]

Where's the sex tape then?
They're probably putting the finishing touches on it as we speak.

[owenbrown]

ref bump

[Azriel]

You know we love ya Ilt :love:

[The Lone Drinker]

Can you just shut the hell up for once? God damn it I'm having a good time and you have to ruin it.

And let's see if this goes to overrun time. I hope it does.

This is a WRESTLING forum and it's a WRESTLING thread.....and a WRESTLING show is going on. Go flirt with women elsewhere.

Hell, you're a mark for that crappy Viscera gimmick and you are more interested in sexually harassing one of the few women on her then talking about wrestling.

Do you even know anything about actual wrestling?

[Shadow]

An Old Man kicking three guys asses? Oh yeah...that's belivable.

[Gone Mad]

FLAIR FACE TURN FINALLY!!! WOOOO!!!!

LOL at out of nowhere spear!

[Azriel]

Wheres Kane?

[RawRocks]

and enter Kane???

[KingofOldSchool]

FLAIR FACE TURN FINALLY!!! WOOOO!!!!



For 3 weeks or so.

[darkpower]

DAMN THAT WAS FUCKING CLOSE!!!

[Shadow]

This is a WRESTLING forum and it's a WRESTLING thread.....and a WRESTLING show is going on. Go flirt with women elsewhere.

As I said in another thread...

SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU ASSHOLE!

This is actually a great match!

[Face Heely]

Flair's still in the ring...I wanna see him take a briefcase for Batista.

[The Answer]

FLAIR FACE TURN FINALLY!!! WOOOO!!!!

LOL at out of nowhere spear!

Not so fast Flair may be making sure Batista keeps the title so HHH can beat him...

[Azriel]

Thumbs down!!

[Shadow]

WHOOOOOOO! THE ANIMAL IS STILL CHAMP! WHOOOO!

[Azriel]

I hope it is a geniune face turn.

[The Lone Drinker]

Damn....you know, Triple H is a better champion than this old timer. Well, Davey's time won't last. Triple H will take the title from him soon and this time, I actually support Triple H holding someone down....because it ain't like B-boy is young....he's like 40 for fuck's sakes........

[Azriel]

Uh-no

[Bischoff187]

WHAT!!

[Face Heely]

NONONONONODAMMIT

[Gone Mad]

Oh, yeah, that's right. Flair is trying to get HHH back, heh, so you never know what the Naitch's intentions are now.

HAHA! AND YOU GUYS CALLED IT!

[darkpower]

I hope it is a geniune face turn.
In the WWE? On RAW, to a HHH kiss-ass?

WTF?!! Spoke too fucking soon!

[Bischoff187]

LOW BLOW

[The Lone Drinker]

As I said in another thread...

SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU ASSHOLE!

This is actually a great match!

You flirting with that girl ain't a damn match...and here comes Triple H....I hope he buries B...

[Shadow]

Probably not Az. This is Flair's yearly face turn swerve.

And here comes HHH. And look where Flair is and where Batista is....

LOW BLOW COMEING!

[Bischoff187]

called it.

[Azriel]

Damnit! Damnit!

[The Answer]

Funny thing is that it's Flair and HHH vs Batista in the dark match after the show.

Edit: Nevermind :y:

[RawRocks]

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW! I SAID IT FIRST!

[owenbrown]

AH FUCK ITS TRIPLE H AND FLAIR TURNS ON BATISTA HOW FUCKING OBVIOUS :wtf:

[The Lone Drinker]

HA, MARKS OUT....GET EM' HUNTER....I was wondetring why Flair was on his knees....:wtf:

But yeah, take that old timer...haha...listen to me, I sound like the stoned Jeff Hardy mark............

[The Answer]

Not so fast Flair may be making sure Batista keeps the title so HHH can beat him...

Told ya GonMad :y:

[Azriel]

He's a genius, you gotta admit. HHH wish he was as clever as Flair

[darkpower]

I knew it was another Fuck the fans swerve. What did I fucking say?

[Face Heely]

Just one last note about wrestlers' ages...Triple H is 36. Not much younger. (Whoops, read the year wrong at first. Not 39 at all. :o )

[Batsu]

X-PAC HEAT!

X-PAC HEAT!

X-PAC HEAT!

[darkpower]

A good RAW...RUINED BY THIS BULLSHIT!!

[The Lone Drinker]

Just one last note about wrestlers' ages...Triple H is also 39.

Incorrect. He's 36....err, just checked....actually 35...will be 36 in July.

[6to1]

an trips comes in a ruins a good show.

[Bischoff187]

HA, MARKS OUT....GET EM' HUNTER....I was wondetring why Flair was on his knees....:wtf:

But yeah, take that old timer...haha...listen to me, I sound like the stoned Jeff Hardy mark............
You only sound like your own pathetic self.

[Shadow]

A great RAW until that point.

I changed the channel as HHH came on.

[Face Heely]

Incorrect. He's 36.

Fixed. Switched up the 9's and 6's there.

[Innovator]

just when i thought raw was saved

[Fenix122]

listen to me, I sound like the stoned Jeff Hardy mark

i can't listen to you...this is an internet forum. i can only read what you type. :y: :lol:

[Azriel]

As much as we hate HHH, he'll never get to the point where he gets XPac heat

[The Lone Drinker]

*sigh* This is getting boring now.

Time for the Simpsons.

[KingofOldSchool]

Edge should use his second title shot now.

[Innovator]

HELL IN A CELL! OMG! THIS IS AWESOME!

can HHH go a year with the cell? Cmon

[The Answer]

Flair is going to turn on Batista... :shifty:

:wave: back on page 12

[darkpower]

UGH!!

When will the WWE learn that every fucking time HHH comes out, people turn away.

THIS is THE main reason why I am accustomed to watching SmackDown better. They don't ruin good shows by one shitty segment.

[SuperSlim]

Raw was better than expected

[KingofOldSchool]

:wave:

You were just stating the obvious, no need to pat yourself on the back.

A retarded monkey could've guessed what was going to happen.

[mike627]

HHH can't let Heyman scoop his heat!

[PullMyFinger]

Well, I'll say this...WM Triple H vs. Batista...I was interested in. Triple H vs. Batista II, not that interested in, but whatever. Triple H vs. Batista III Hell in a Cell....I DONT WANT TO SEE THAT SHIT...I WANT TO SEE SOMETHING NEW AND FRESH!

Holy shit....I hope the buyrates dip for this PPV.

[Gone Mad]

Well, I almost didn't see the end coming, my brain was on last week. But as I pointed out, a bunch of ya saw it coming and got me to remember.

But yeah, I can't hate HHH besides the fact that he will fight Bats once AGAIN. HHH is a way better heel than Mr. Edgewad is... but not better than Capt. Charisma. :D

[Nark Order]

Eh, the Trips return was done pretty good if you ask me.

[The Answer]

You were just stating the obvious, no need to pat yourself on the back.

A retarded monkey could've guessed what was going to happen.

Well a couple of people were fooled especially since Flair has supposedly turned three times now. It's going to happen sooner or later but not for a second did I think it would happen at this juncture.

[SuperSlim]

Once again Hell in a Cell will be hell to watch cause it will absolutely SUCK!

[Savio]

Edge should use his second title shot now.Thats what I was saying ohwell there's always the 5 seconds he can use it after the hell in a cell

[Nark Order]

I knew as soon as Flair was on his knees behind him that the low blow was coming.

[owenbrown]

Whatever happened to the days when there was a bad ending to a show like RAW that the fans threw stuff in the ring in disgust? Like in the early nWo days in WCW? :rant: :wtf:

[darkpower]

Eh, the Trips return was done pretty good if you ask me.It wasn't the fact that Trip returned alone. It was how they ignored the obvious pops the crowd was giving Flair (like they tend to do ALL THE DAMN TIME before they fuck them over like this), and decide to keep Flair heel. THAT'S what pisses ME off, personally. The teasing like that has to stop..NOW!!!

[James Steele]

I thought the HHH assault didn't ruin RAW. It left me pissed off. All I wanna know is why does every fucking beatdown look the same? However, Paul Heyman made me a very very happy person.

[The Lone Drinker]

Triple H is a better champion then the current champ because he actually bring sout emotion in fans. I hope when they wrestle, Hunter wins.

[SuperSlim]

The teasing isn't that bad. that way when it fianlly happens it'll be good

[darkpower]

Triple H is a better champion then the current champ because he actually bring sout emotion in fans. I hope when they wrestle, Hunter wins.
Umm...dude...that is NOT the type of heel heat you go for.

You WANT a "I hope the face kills that guy" type of heat, not the "I want to take a piss so I don't have to see this guy anymore" or "I wonder what's on the other channels" type of heat HHH gets. It's not the same emotion you're thinking of.

[The Answer]

Once again Hell in a Cell will be hell to watch cause it will absolutely SUCK!

Besides the Kevin Nash one I didn't think any Hell in a Cell match featuring HHH sucked bad. We were just spoiled by Mick Foley's bumps and the HBK/Taker match that we expect alot from them. Realitiscally they can't top the Foley/Taker match because no one is willing to take Foley like bumps that is why we are always disappointed by these matches.

[darkpower]

The teasing isn't that bad. that way when it fianlly happens it'll be good
It's bad when they do it over and over and over and over....and the same thing ends up happening over and over and over and over....

[Shadow]

Glad I can't see any of TLD's posts anymore. Ignore lists are fun!

[James Steele]

I do agree that Hell In A Cell has been ruined. Hell In A Cell was meant to END a major feud that lasted a long period of time (longer than 3 months). The only post-Foley era HIAC match I think was used at the proper time was HHH/HBK. HIAC is not a way to end a feud after a few months. Taker/Foley was a long long rivalry. HHH/Foley was a long long rivalry. HHH/HBK was a god awfully long rivalry.

[James Steele]

I agree with this one 100%. However, Ric Flair isn't going to be around much longer so they need to hurry up and turn him face within this decade.

[The Naitch]

I agree, nothing is exciting in WWE anymore. Just terrible

[The Naitch]

I agree with this one 100%. However, Ric Flair isn't going to be around much longer so they need to hurry up and turn him face within this decade.


well Triple H is still on #10 I believe, so until then, Flair will always be by his side. So yeah, see you in 5 years

[darkpower]

Well, I do have to admit...if the WWE really wants to help out SmackDown, they did a good job tonight with getting people to watch SD more than RAW! After all, anything is better than a HHH-ed RAW.

[SuperSlim]

well they can still turn him later on. I mean he could be like the most awesome manager ever. although I don't know bout seein him as a manager.

[darkpower]

well they can still turn him later on. I mean he could be like the most awesome manager ever. although I don't know bout seein him as a manager.
But how long can they keep teasing us before we just don't CARE anymore? By the time they DO, for real, turn him, we'll be too tired of it all to CARE if he does or not.

[KingofOldSchool]

I was tired of the "Ric Flair turning face only to turn on that person he befriended weeks later" back in 1994.

[SuperSlim]

I agree it has been rather repetitive for the past some odd years. one day, one day they will finally do it. Hopefully they will do it sooner than later. most likely at Bad Blood.

[darkpower]

I agree it has been rather repetitive for the past some odd years. one day, one day they will finally do it. Hopefully they will do it sooner than later. most likely at Bad Blood.
ACK! You didn't hear the news...no Bad Blood this year. Next RAW PPV is Vengeance...at least that what I was thought of hearing.:shifty:

[SuperSlim]

oh yeah whatever the Raw PPV is gonna be :$

[James Steele]

BRING BACK WAR GAMES!

*STOMP STOMP*

BRING BACK WAR GAMES!

[V]

that was like the 50th time we thought flair would turn face only to re-join triple h

[The Naitch]

K, I'll try to count how many turns Flair did since he came in late 2001

first time he joined the nWo

blank

then he turned on RVD

then he turned on HBK

then he turned on Mayor McCheese

then he turned on Batista

[V]

at this rate he will be turning on me next week :(

dammit flair

also, the ending was pretty good imo, i just wish triple h would shave

hell in a cell will have to be the feud ender for hhh-batista, and if batista wins that will be great for his credibility... so stop hating on everything triple h does :p

[SuperSlim]

he needs a full beard. that handlebar moustache thing looks gay and funny ona top heel

[GODSON]

Wasn't Cactus Jack in WCW before ECW? Steve Austin made a name in WCW before going to ECW. I'm sure Benoit was on a WCW ppv in the early 90's as a jobber before going to ECW(I have to check). Liger/Pillman was doing cruiserweight styles matches in WCW before ECW existed.

Talk about a one sided segment. WCW was a better company than ECW. I'm surprise that people always say ECW was better but like Lawler said "Extreme Crappy Wrestling". People always talked about the good cruiserweight/technical matches ECW had but that was only like for one year. The other 7 years was nothing but garbage cans. Even Steve Austin said ECW suck.

[The Lone Drinker]

What's wrong with hard-core wrestling? Seeing it live fucking owns.

Talk about one sided :roll:

Yeah ECW had their fair share of garbage cans, flaming tables and stuff but their period of time for technical matches and aesome cruiserweights lasted more than just a year. They had their Benoit, Dean Malenko, Saturn, Rey, Psichosis. Then they also picked up a new breed as well. Jerry Lynn, Lance Storm, and others. Open your eyes kid. You talkin bout thmem bein one sided, you doin the exact same thing you claim they were doing. Besides if it was all nothing but garbage can wrestling then why in the world would any of them have been signed elsewhere? Why would anyone care about any of them? The Lance Storm? The RVD? The Jerry Lynn? The others? Cause they were good. They knew how to work the crowd. They knew a lot more than jsut hit guy with garbage can.

So don't dog what you not totally sure about.

[GODSON]

Benoit wrestle on Superbrawl 3. Heyman did not bring in Benoit.

WCW help out ECW alot. Who send their talents to ECW shows in the early 90's? Vince...no it was WCW.

The ring was missing one person, Todd Gordon. He was a huge part of ECW early success. In matter of fact, when he left(or force out) ECW the company was beginning to suck and fill with nothing but hardcore matches. Maybe ECW would still be in business if Tod Gordon was there.

[Gouda]

You see the sign? "ECW Sucks, get over it"

Still. I was marking out on the Heyman promo and I didn't even watch ECW. Heyman is a promoing GOD.

However it kinda defeats the purpose of him coming out there and saying "ECW was about more than weapons" and then have Bentoit and Tajiri come out there and fight in an ECW Rules match in which the main focus was on the weapons.

Oh and... dammit I'm sick and tired of the phony Flair turns.

[Team Sheep]

Christ, I think that ECW funeral segment was the longest RAW has gone without a commercial break. :eek:

[RGWhat316]

I had to tape RAW, and it was a damn good one......until the end. How many times can they tease a Flair face turn and ruin it??? This is getting ridiculous. So when they finally do turn Flair face, no one is gonna care b/c they think he's gonna turn heel right away again. And we also had the typical HHH beatdown.

But aside from that, it was a good RAW. The Edge/Lita segment was almost too much. It just seemed as if they were talking to Matt the whole time. Comments like "I've been seeing him behind your back for the last few months", and the "Edge is the only man to satisfy me". I hope Matt wasn't watching RAW, or he would have been pissed.

The ECW funeral was really cool segment. There seemed to be alot of shoot comments during it. Then having Bischoff(WCW), Heyman(ECW), and Vince(WWE) all in the same ring together seemed surreal. Can't wait for the ECW ppv now.

Maria was looking :drool: as always. And I was actually glad that Coach ruined that segment since I didn't care to see Big Vis with his pants down.

But overall a quality RAW besides the finish.

[RGWhat316]

Christ, I think that ECW funeral segment was the longest RAW has gone without a commercial break. :eek:
I didn't time it, but that had to be up there with the "This is your life" segment with Foley and Rock in '99 for longest segments.

[Gertner]

hardly. What about the amazing three way dances towards the end between super crazy, Tajiri and Little Guido. Dude, did you actually watch ECW?

[James Steele]

I didn't time it, but that had to be up there with the "This is your life" segment with Foley and Rock in '99 for longest segments.
It was worth it. Paul Heyman sold One Night Stand to a lot of people.

Damn it, I just realised. There's a pretty good chance Triple H will be champion AGAIN. He's undefeated in Hell in a Cell, do they really want to ende his legacy in HIAC matches? And surely Batista won't go over Triple H for a third time? I dunno, it all looks gloomy for Batista right now if you ask me.

I thought Batista vs. Edge was a great match for many reasons. One I thought that Edge and Xtian could be the next top heels on RAW, Batista was getting huge pops, both of them looked good in the match, and Flair came out to help Batista clean house. I was really happy with the way RAW was going.

Then I heard the infamous guitar chord and out came HHH, and then fucking Flair low-blowed Batista, and just like that, HHH made the top tier guy look weak AGAIN. Not only is HHH on top again (with or without the title), but there goes any chance of Edge and Xtian being top heels, and a potential HHH vs. Flair match in the near future.

HHH lost that 6 man armageddon HIAC in 2000

But Maria in that ring was sort of really irritating to me. I mean she just jiddered and I was like Stop moving. Stand still for a second. Other than that she looked pretty darn good.

Triple H will win the World Title for the 17th time, making his reign supreme, only to be beaten by Ric Flair, finalizing his big face turn, who will tie him for 17 reigns a piece.

They will then face each other on PPV, in which HHH will win the World Title back, marking his 18th World Title victory, making him the most dominant World Champion of all time.

Then Flair will turn heel again.

I think he'll get over 18

Triple H won't ever stop winnin the world title unti he reaches 21 title reigns

HHH's world title reigns have to actually MEAN something to even be compared to Flair's.
