Pick a Partner
January 23, 2006

Last week on RAW, WWE Champion Edge attacked John Cena just when it looked like Cena was going to beat the Master Lock Challenge. Later on RAW, Cena returned the favor when he attacked Edge after the Rated R Superstar's successful title defense against Ric Flair in a brutal TLC Match. Tonight on RAW, they will be in tag team action. WWE Champion Edge and a partner of his choice will face John Cena and a partner of his choice. Who will they choose as their partner? Find out on RAW.

Kane, who destroyed Carlito last week on RAW, will look to punish him again tonight.

WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus and Ashley will take on the team of Candice and Victoria. Will Mickie be able to stay out of Trish's business this week? Find out on RAW.

Also, Shawn Michaels will take on Shelton Benjamin. Will Shelton's momma continue to assist her son and keep him on the winning track?

For all this and more, watch Monday Night RAW tonight on USA (9/8 CT).

[Destor]

Something tells me RAW is going to suck tonight.

[Kane Knight]

My Jujutsu class was cancelled due to weather, so I'm actually here. And I've got nothing planned, so I might as well spam the Raw thread.

[Blitz]

At least Shelton/HBK should be good. WWE can't screw that up :shifty:

[Destor]

At least Shelton/HBK should be good. WWE can't screw that up :shifty:
Great now their match is going to suck. Smooth.

[Blitz]

knock wood

[Kane Knight]

Shelton's mama will botch it.

[G-wrath]

Obviously Edge/Masters vs. Cena/Flair.

It's a given.

[Destor]

No doubt.^^

[Blitz]

I wonder if they've decided to just drop the whole new GM thing.

[Azriel]

Here's hoping tonight is adequate at least

[6to1]

I wonder if they've decided to just drop the whole new GM thing.
i guess, i think vince wants to see if he can get the cool heel heat bischoff got, an the whole screwjob angle they are doing with hbk vince has to be there. did you all see the picture of vince on smackown kind of like the old picture of bischoff when he was on raw.

[Schoenauer]

I guess the whole GM thing was just a farce.

[Kane Knight]

I wonder if they've decided to just drop the whole new GM thing.

They'llbring it up when it makes no sense, after Vince's ego masturbation has resulted in a salty mess.

[Destor]

I'm sure they'll name one in time, but right now there isn't much of a need for one.

[Jaton]

Destor, what's up with the black font?

[Blitz]

I'm sure they'll name one in time, but right now there isn't much of a need for one.

As long as it keeps Dusty off TV, they can drag it out as long as they want.

[Azriel]

New Lillian song?

[Destor]

Destor, what's up with the black font?Boo?

[Jaton]

gay?

[Schoenauer]

Destor, what's up with the black font?
He's too cool for default colors.

[Azriel]

Lillian in good form tonight. Must be in a good mood tonight

[Destor]

Seriously though not much of a reason. Felt it was time to get a gimmick; and this beats bold, large, blue font. :shifty:

[Azriel]

Joey looked retarded making his entrance. Very much so.

[Azriel]

Correction: He l;ooked gay.

[Jonster]

Stopping up for Raw, it officially counts as good if I don't fall asleep.

[Azriel]

Here we go. RAW baby! WOOOO!!

[G-wrath]

lol @ the 'Edge movie trailer'

[LK]

LK singing: Edge sucks

[G-wrath]

you have a beautiful voice

[Azriel]

Speaking of the devil

[Kane Knight]

Okay, so they're hyping the PPV without showing Cena? Just Flair and Edge? :?:

[Schoenauer]

Edge's music... still rockin' arenas. I just hope he keeps it.

[Azriel]

Grow up King. :roll:

[ddpBANG]

Seriously though not much of a reason. Felt it was time to get a gimmick; and this beats bold, large, blue font. :shifty:
<font size=7><font color=blue><b>NO IT DOESN'T<b></font>

[LK]

you have a beautiful voice
Gracias

[Blitz]

Lita botch already. :)

[G-wrath]

lol @ Edge's splooge in Lita's throat

[LK]

Did Lita just botch talking?

[Azriel]

Lita feeling a bit hoarse? :lol:

[dablackguy]

hahha Lita botches talking

[6to1]

lita should play a mute

[Afterlife]

Lita has already annoyed me.

[The Greater Power]

Did Lita just botch talking?

I believe so

[dablackguy]

Edge = Ratings

[LK]

This is part of HHH's masterplan, isn't it?

[Kane Knight]

ANGRY FACE!

[Jonster]

Lita botched talking

[Azriel]

You forgot Kane, Edge

[Fryza]

Edge isn't fun without Christian.

[Destor]

NO IT DOESN'Tlol

[Xerzes]

Botched promo opening! Drink!

[LK]

Ah Christian - the good one.

[Blitz]

WTF did Edge just spit out?

[Fryza]

7 to 1 odds Cena's partner is Flair.

[Afterlife]

How old is Edge? Because he seriously dresses like he's 15. This isn't really important, I suppose...just one of those things I notice.

[St. Jimmy]

... yey. Edge promo starting RAW..
i miss uhh.... THE GAMEuhhhhh... =/

[Azriel]

Destor, this new gimmick isn't working man. In fact, its a tad annoying.

[LK]

Genius stuff here

[LK]

Destor, this new gimmick isn't working man. In fact, its a tad annoying.
Yeah it's downhill from here if he keeps it up.

[St. Jimmy]

did edge just promise to bury someone?
he can't do that, that's trips' gimmick.

[Destor]

Destor, this new gimmick isn't working man. In fact, its a tad annoying.
You're not wrong.

[Ninti the Mad]

If Edge loses at the RR, the WWE's plan to get heat off Cena will backfire.

AND THE BOOS WILL RETURN!

I hope that happens and they take him out of the title picture permanently.

[The Greater Power]

OMG CENA MTFO........

[G-wrath]

Edge + Cena + Lita = Sucktacular!

[Xero]

Why the fuck is Cena still face?

[Kane Knight]

Jesus Christ, you know you suck on the mic when I'm getting horny over Cena coming out.

[Fryza]

Cena is the one reason I wish Lee Harvey Oswald was still with us.

[Kane Knight]

Why the fuck is Cena still face?

The WWE are retarded?

[The Greater Power]

Not as classic as One Night In China....

[Afterlife]

Oh, god....not another damn fake movie.

[St. Jimmy]

god, watching Cena makes me remember how much
Mark Wahlberg fucking sucks =/

[Fryza]

The WWE are retarded?

You called them Eugene.

[Blitz]

Lol at Cena saying "boy" and some dude in the audience shouting "Lita!!!"

[LK]

Why the fuck is Cena still face?
He would be a heel if Edge had either talent or charisma.

[Kane Knight]

Okay, we've got it.

She's a ho. Can we get on with it?

God, please smite all three of them NOW.

[Blitz]

OMG he is totally saying ho a lot!!! Cena RoxOrZ

[Afterlife]

I agree with Coach. "This isn't funny at all".

[zdmay]

LOL! Ho jokes are funny!

[Kane Knight]

This is a little sctetched...Ho.

[Fryza]

The silence was golden.

[Afterlife]

I thot Trips was the one with the slooooow, boooooring promooooos...

[Corndad]

HACKSAW REFRENCE!!! outstanding!

[LK]

hehe Hacksaw Jim Duggan

[Kane Knight]

Okay, the Hacksaw one made me laugh a little.

[Blitz]

Alright, a genuine LOL at the Hacksaw thing.

[Fryza]

LOL

[Corndad]

Besides Jim Duggan... this is the worst promo ever.

[Schoenauer]

Can't stand Lita's voice...

[LK]

witty

[G-wrath]

Lita botches a joke

[Corndad]

Does Edge not have a voicebox anymore? is that why Lita is talking instead of him I dont understand?

[Fryza]

LMAO

[Azriel]

It's not bad, but they need to speed this up

[6to1]

time for hacksaw to come down and kick all there asses

[G-wrath]

Yay! It's over!

[Batsu]

LMAO @ Cena!

[St. Jimmy]

let's just say that magically flair isn't
going to be there tonight.
logically, who would they put with cena?

[The Greater Power]

"Date Movie" looked dumb

[Afterlife]

Oh, I can't wait for later, when we get to see them again.

[LK]

Just think people, right about this time last year, we thought that it would be Cena and Christian.

[Kane Knight]

time for hacksaw to come down and kick all there asses


...Ho

[LK]

lol Carlito's hair fucking rules.

[Azriel]

I'm think if HHH is Edge's partner, it'll be Big Show for Cena

[Schoenauer]

When was the last time he defended that title with Show?

[Azriel]

Bye Carlito

[Fryza]

I would like to make it known at this moment.

Carlito is the man.

That is all.

[LK]

How I would mark out if it was RVD. Kind of like when Big Show made his suprise return.

[St. Jimmy]

oh wait, is that a tag belt?
why does Kane have that?
oh.. it's been 2 weeks,
i'm supposed to forget that. ^_^

[LK]

I would like to make it known at this moment.

Carlito is the man.

That is all.
He should get the title just for that hair.

[Azriel]

I think they defended at the last PPV against Rey/Batista

[Blitz]

Nice dropkick.

[Fryza]

He should get the title just for that hair.

I love you.

[Blitz]

I would love it if Carlito got a clean pin.

[Afterlife]

Why is Kane so weak tonight?

[LK]

Kane's looking a little out of it tonight.

[Kane Knight]

NICE.

[Blitz]

I :heart: the Lungblower.

[Afterlife]

Thank goodness Maven was released before Carly took his finisher.

[Azriel]

Trying to make it easier for Carlito to get over maybe.

[St. Jimmy]

Carlito is putting on a great fucking match <3

[Azriel]

Well, Carlito is the man

[LK]

Carlito hitting Kane with a chair - dat's cool.

[Savio]

:lol: at no sell.

[G-wrath]

ew they're back

[Afterlife]

Dear lord, we only need SO MUCH of these 2 in one night.

[Corndad]

Big Show???

[LK]

Okay...

[Afterlife]

Is Edge technically a pimp now?

[St. Jimmy]

uck. no. bad thoughts....

[zdmay]

Soap and water, huh?

[Azriel]

Hmmm. The plot thickens. get some stretching done Lita

[AJHayes]

I'm glad theres no continuity... I think at this point it would hurt my brain.

[St. Jimmy]

techinally wouldn't show be a Big Gulp? =/

[Blitz]

LOL Rated Retarded sign in the crowd.

[G-wrath]

I think Edge has a secret man fetish. Everytime Lita sucks someone else's dick, Edge can taste it on her mouth.

[Corndad]

LOL at the Hooters Application Sign lol

[Skippord]

Show doesnt count as a man he counts as a horse

[LK]

Ah well, I guess it was a little unrealistic to expect Christian.

[Azriel]

lita's going to get lockjaw, I just know it.

[Afterlife]

lol, sick G-wrath.

[Corndad]

Are they really gonna show this????

[Blitz]

I'm suprised Edge didn't rip on the Panthers in his promo.

[zdmay]

Show is going to pull a Batista.

[Afterlife]

Hey...Anyone in the lockerroom heard of Batista? Or Melina? Or, uh...redundant storylines?

[The Greater Power]

Imagine Show vs. Cena headlining Mania

[Corndad]

Yup... Shows gonna be Cena's partner

[Skippord]

Shhhhhhhhh no one knows

[AJHayes]

JR: "Bah Gawd! Shades of Brian Peppers as Edge sneaks into the dressing room (BBQSAUCESTUNNERAUSTIN) and performs gross sequal imposition on Lita and the Show."

[Skippord]

BOOOOOOOOOOOBBBBBBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[G-wrath]

lol, sick G-wrath.

lol I know this guy who said to his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend: "Everytime you kiss her, you're tasting my cock."

[The Greater Power]

the lesbians!

[Corndad]

Imagine Show vs. Cena headlining Mania

*Throws up over and over again*

[Skippord]

Fucking spaz

[Afterlife]

Can we bring in a damn female wrestler that's NOT obsessed with Trish?

[St. Jimmy]

either i just drank 98oz of soda,
or the ladies are on TV?...
oh. the latter. pissssssss.

[Blitz]

Mickie should come out during Trish's match holding up a boombox with "In Your Eyes" playing.

[St. Jimmy]

i hate to overstate something,
but Mickie James is quite the butterface =/
i'd still hit it.

[Azriel]

Trish looking GOOOD!!

and Mickie going psycho

[Fryza]

Look what that cold-hearted bitch Trish did to poor, defenseless Mickie.

What a slag.

[Afterlife]

lol I know this guy who said to his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend: "Everytime you kiss her, you're tasting my cock."

:lol: That is awesome

[Corndad]

OOOOO... Chavo!!

[The Greater Power]

I wonder if the WWE is beginning to forget Kane and Show are tag team champions.

[Azriel]

Candice and Vicky :drool:

[LK]

So who wants to guess how this will end up?

[Corndad]

Well atleast starting next week everytime Chloe is on TV I'll get fantasy Points.

[Azriel]

Sorry Chavo, you ain't winning.

[Corndad]

WTF is the COACH IN THE RUMBLE... COME ON

[G-wrath]

Coach = Waste of space

[St. Jimmy]

... what?!
jesus fucking christ not again.
someone kill coach, please =/

[G-wrath]

lol did King use Just for Men?

[Blitz]

Oh, god, it's gonna be Coach vs Lawler for the last spot :|

[Kane Knight]

God, this is dumb

[Corndad]

I smell a Coach vs King Match

[St. Jimmy]

i love joey, he's so small and confused.

[LK]

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear

[zdmay]

Oh, god, it's gonna be Coach vs Lawler for the last spot :|

I was just going to say that.

[6to1]

looks like the king will be in the rumble

[Corndad]

Well that was pointless

[Afterlife]

omg.... This will only be good if Helms is involved, and I dunno if even he can save it.

[Blitz]

:'( Coach/Lawler

[Skippord]

Triple threat Styles vs Lawler v Coach

[The Greater Power]

looks like the king will be in the rumble

I say Coach wins.

[Azriel]

Gee, who didn't see that coming with Jerry wearing his gear?

[Corndad]

My favorite kinda battle... Brunettes vs Blondes

[G-wrath]

You could totally tell that it was gonna be Coach vs. King...King's wearing his wrestling gear under his coat.

[Blitz]

But my lord, Trish and Ashley look :drool:

[G-wrath]

Gee, who didn't see that coming with Jerry wearing his gear?

Damn, beat me to it.

[LK]

Somewhere in that arena, Gregory Helms is probably vomiting as we speak

[Blitz]

Slowest..La Magistral..Ever

[Corndad]

Gonna make a WILD GUESS and say Mickie James will come out and cost Ashley and Trish the match...

[LK]

Worst drop toe-hold ever!

[Blitz]

When's the last time Torrie's done anything of substance?

[LK]

Ouch

[Kane Knight]

Jesus, my page only loads a third of the way

[Destor]

omg.... This will only be good if Helms is involved, and I dunno if even he can save it.
My gimmick has already been stolen.

[St. Jimmy]

what LK said. *drink*

[Corndad]

When's the last time Torrie's done anything of substance?

Playboy.

[Skippord]

I enjoy breasts

[Afterlife]

My gimmick has already been stolen.

Many apologies; I was temporarily unable to choose a non-black color for my font.

[St. Jimmy]

nice spinebuster. i'd care if tits we're so nice. =/

[Corndad]

Please no Ashley vs Mickie at Rumble.... Please dear god.

[Skippord]

Ouch

[St. Jimmy]

=/ could they finally put this storyline to a head?
nope, guess not.

[G-wrath]

lol Shelton's momma

[Corndad]

Why does Shelton's Mom remind me of Mark Henry.

[Afterlife]

I really wish he was using that "Mama Used To Say" music. That was glorificent.

[The Greater Power]

I feel like I'm watching Happy Gilmore (referring to Shelton and Mama)

[Fryza]

LOL @ Shelton. 'Mama's Boy'.

[St. Jimmy]

shetlon's mama. lmao.
"shawn micheals called me a mama's boy!"

[zdmay]

LOL! Mama's Boy!

[G-wrath]

lol he's tellin it on his momma

[Blitz]

I totally see Shelton as a threat :|

[Corndad]

Some how I dont see that happening.

I see this leading to Shelton's Mom "losing her smile"

[Afterlife]

Why does Shelton's Mom remind me of Mark Henry.

She had a fling with Mae Young.

[Savio]

:lol: Shelton and his mom rule.

[Shadow]

Yeah this is just...not the best storyline ever.

[G-wrath]

Why does Shelton's Mom remind me of Mark Henry.

Because they both ate their first born

:shifty:

[Azriel]

I'm afraid it will be Mickie vs. Ashley, maybe with Trish as special referee

[Corndad]

LOL at "Never been with a 10 but...I've been with 5 2's once..."

[LK]

Yeah well it's quite fair to say that T. Murdoch ain't going to be winning the Royal Rumble

[Azriel]

Murdoch is just...odd

[Savio]

Shelton should come out too "Momma said knock you out"

[Blitz]

I can see it now...Wrestlemania...Shelton and his mama Vs Shawn and his mama...Shelton's mama locks the Sharpshooter on Shawn, and Vince screams "Ring the damn bell"

[Azriel]

Totally agree Savior

[Corndad]

him on Byte this was hillarious, especially talking about how Hogan stole his gimmick lol

[The Greater Power]

He literally looks exactly like Hogan

[Shadow]

Damn his wife's hot.

[Afterlife]

Oh, good, Mama's in the Titantron video already.

[Blitz]

Deafening crowd reaction for Shelton.

[Azriel]

No Vince tonight, huh? Good.

[LK]

Shelton Benjamin - once part of the best tag team in the world, an intercontinental champion, clean victories over HHH and stole the show at WM 21. Now hiding behind his Momma. How the mighty have fallen.

[Shadow]

Is it just my tv or is the crowd...muted tonight?

[Azriel]

Hopefully this will be good

[Shadow]

Is this still going strong?

[LK]

No Vince tonight, huh? Good.
GOD DAMN IT AZRIEL!

[Blitz]

No Vince tonight, huh? Good.

You jinxed it!!!!

[Azriel]

Damn, I jinxed it. Sorry guys

[Corndad]

No Vince tonight, huh? Good.

Spoke too soon... Micheals will be 1 in Rumble. Guaranteed

[6to1]

No Vince tonight, huh? Good.
jinxed it

[G-wrath]

Poor Shawn. Eh, he won't lose, or get fired, or anything else...he's too buddy-buddy with Hunter.

[Azriel]

I shoulda known better too. if anything, i should've called it.

[Shadow]

Ya think G-Wrath?

[Blitz]

Why don't they just have Shelton's mama do commentary if they want us to hear her?

[Corndad]

Why is Momma so loud lol

[LK]

For the first time in a while I don't actually know how a Raw match is going to go.

[Afterlife]

Did Mama just do a Cryptkeeper voice?

[LK]

Surely they wouldn't take HBK out of the Royal Rumble but they are giving Shelton the wins with Momma at ringside.

[Azriel]

it seemed pretty guttural, didn't it? :lol:

[LK]

Aye carumba!
