Who will go to WrestleMania?
February 20, 2006

RAW will return to its regular night and time this week, Monday at 9/8 CT on the USA Network. The Road to WrestleMania tournament took a slight turn Thursday, as the finals will now be a Triple Threat Match. After fighting to a violent and brutal double count-out, Triple H and Big Show were rewarded by Mr. McMahon as he placed them both in the finals. Rob Van Dam defeated Chris Masters to round out the finals. Will the King of Kings move one step closer to regaining his seat on the throne? Will the Big Show be in his first WrestleMania main event since WrestleMania 2000? Or will Mr. Monday Night become Mr. WrestleMania?

Last week, Edge came up short in trying to regain the WWE Championship. After the match, the Rated R Superstar took out his frustrations on special guest referee Mick Foley with a vicious spear. Will the Hardcore Legend have anything to say about last week’s attack?

Plus, Shelton Benjamin defeated Eugene to earn an opportunity at Ric Flair’s Intercontinental Championship. Benjamin is a former IC Champion, and his momma wants nothing more than to see her son reclaim his Championship glory. Can Shelton do his momma proud? Or will the Nature Boy make Benjamin look like just another momma’s boy?

Also last week, Bret “Hit Man” Hart was announced as the first Class of 2006 WWE Hall of Fame inductee. Another inductee will be announced live on RAW.

Don’t miss all of this and much more when RAW returns to its regular night and time, Monday at 9/8 CT on the USA Network.

[Azriel]

Calling it now: Orton comes back to RAW to challenge Cena and whoever wins the triple threat

[Volchok]

I'd mark out if Orton came to Raw, Then Mysterio can challange Angle for the WHC

[Azriel]

And the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Couldn't Orton have simply challened Angle for the title at NWO?

[UmbrellaCorporation]

It's off topic, but I love those Art of Fighting pictures in your sig, Blitz. :D

[Azriel]

Indeed. They're very cool

[Volchok]

If Ortons theme hits on Raw tonight... I will blow a load in my pants :)!

[Azriel]

If I'm right, you owe me rep for life :lol: :p

[loopydate]

And the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Couldn't Orton have simply challened Angle for the title at NWO?

Because Undertaker made the "belt" motion at Royal Rumble.

Guess that's how they're determining contendership now.

[Blitz]

:heart: to all.

But I'd bet against Orton coming to Raw. Anyways, I'd rather see Orton/Rey/Kurt than Orton/HHH/Cena.

[Blitz]

Fuck. I am just hoping Raw starts on time in Canada tonight. Olympic curling is on at the moment, and it may go long.

[Volchok]

This is the first Raw thread i've been apart of in awhile. I miss the Raw Threads...

[loopydate]

I'm more psyched than usual tonight. Not so much for the card (I wish they were saving Shelton beating Flair for WM), but because my commercial is debuting tonight!

WOOOOOOOO!

[Volchok]

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!! :love:

[Volchok]

Loopy, is there anyway possible to put it on TPWW?

[Azriel]

Cool loopy. What commercial? And do you think its going to be Vince vs. Shawn or Shane vs. Shawn at Mania?

[loopydate]

Already did.

But here <a href="http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2DS3WF67PJC350THQ3U372HSFU">it</a> is again. :D

[Azriel]

Lillian looking good as usual

[Azriel]

So, Carlito interference tonight probably.

Something will happen in the Flair/Shelton match causing it to be bumped to Mania

[Azriel]

It's RAW baby! WOOOOOOO!!!

[Blitz]

Shit, forgot about Edge/Foley. Looking forward to that build up.

[darkpower]

I'm here...ready for RAW already. :)

[St. Jimmy]

i hope they can build Foley/Edge to HIAC material.

[Azriel]

I would love to see how they build up Foley/Edge

[loopydate]

Somebody get Joey a booster seat. Please!

[Azriel]

Umm, okay

[St. Jimmy]

Shelton/Flair tonight for the belt? Nice.

[Blitz]

:|

[loopydate]

Wow. Four minutes in, and it's already time for a piss break. Good thing, too, 'cause I got a large pop at the movie this evening, and could definitely use it.

[G-wrath]

bimbossssss

[darkpower]

Starting with the diva's?

Very interesting...this is the first time in a while that's happened.

[St. Jimmy]

Maria <3

[Xero]

Wait, why the fuck do they need a a number one contender's match for the Women's title? There's, what, 3 WRESTLERS on the Diva's roster? And one is Trish?

[St. Jimmy]

it's the best way to start, i can catch some UFC intro and maybe take a power dump.

[loopydate]

If anyone other than Mickie or Vickie wins this... My anger will know no bounds.

[Xero]

it's the best way to start, i can catch some UFC intro and maybe take a power dump.
I'm sure some people could have a power-jerk from this match. :shifty:

[Blitz]

The word "clusterfuck" comes to mind.

[St. Jimmy]

*sets clock* 7 minutes til' Mickie wins.

[Blitz]

And yeah. Mickie's gotta win.

[loopydate]

Candice's punches are the worst I've ever seen. Seriously.

[darkpower]

Vickie face turn? :D

[Blitz]

Good lord, 7 more minutes of this? I hope not.

[darkpower]

There goes Vickie...and one of the two favorites....AND I WANTED TO BE CANDACE RIGHT THERE!!

[loopydate]

Well, that makes perfect sense. Let's eliminate the best wrestler in the match before we eliminate the three worst.

[Blitz]

So it's not over the top rope, then?

[loopydate]

On the plus side, we finally get Trish vs. Mickie @ Mania.

[darkpower]

WHAT THE FUCK?!

[Blitz]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDIN ME?!

[Azriel]

Well, tht was suprising

[AJHayes]

Holy mother of fuck... I can't believe she won.

Welcome to the death of the already dead womens division.

[loopydate]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[6to1]

well they have to push candice being on playboy so she had to win.

[darkpower]

Wait a fucking minute? What is going on?

[Azriel]

Thank you Edge

[Blitz]

Oh god, is lita going to have a match with Candace?

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

thank god they didn't stipulate that the winner got a shot at MANIA.

[JT]

"Your voice is like nails on a chalkboard toots."

LMAO at Edge for once.

[Azriel]

Thats a good point. They could have the match next week

[darkpower]

Good God, at least the women we looked at BEFORE Lita was sluts that we would WANT to fuck!

[Blitz]

Aw, no Foley tonight?

[loopydate]

thank god they didn't stipulate that the winner got a shot at MANIA.

Except she will. She spoiled it on "The Tonight Show."

[The Greater Power]

Candice said on the Jay Leno show (like 2 weeks ago) that she would be wrestling for the women's championship at Mania.

[G-wrath]

Captain Catfish and Botchfest make their first appearance of the night....:roll:

[Blitz]

Edge/Duggan :mad:

[loopydate]

:roll: At least Tatanka can still go.

[Schoenauer]

Hacksaw hates Canadians too?

[darkpower]

"Your voice is like nails on a chalkboard toots."

LMAO at Edge for once.

Yeah, Lita's voice does sound like nails on a chalkboard. And makes a loud sucking, slurping sound.

[loopydate]

Yeah, let's bury Edge further by making HACKSAW JIM FUCKING DUGGAN look like a threat!!!

[AJHayes]

Lita makes me want to be impotent. Just so future generations of my family won't have to listen to her.

[Corndad]

Just gettin in, what happened with the Divas?

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

I hope she was wrong. The one feud that they've been building for a good while doesn't even get on the mania card?

[JT]

Newest Rules to the WWE Handbook:

#1 Never let Lita open her mouth...ever.

[6to1]

hoooo good to see hacksaw back wheres the tv belt

[Blitz]

Thank God I can watch Unlimited. Otherwise I couldn't see this scintillating Hacksaw promo.

[loopydate]

Much as I loved Duggan when I was a kid, he makes Eugene look like a rocket scientist.

[Blitz]

:foc: you, Hacksaw.

[Vazz]

Good job firing most of your trained female wrestlers and just hiring a bunch of models wwe... :|

[Azriel]

Gotta love Hacksaw

[loopydate]

Does Vince not realize that his shows air in countries OTHER than the US?

[Azriel]

So, who's going to be the next inductee tonight? Flair?

[darkpower]

Good job firing most of your trained female wrestlers and just hiring a bunch of models wwe... :|

Whatever happened to ALundra Blaze? Where is she now?

[JT]

Yeah, Lita's voice does sound like nails on a chalkboard. And makes a loud sucking, slurping sound.

Dude, I can go for the Lita jokes...but seriously, "nails on the chalkboard" was what I was thinking throughout Candices speech...thus why I laughed.

[Blitz]

Gotta love Hacksaw

I assure you you don't.

[St. Jimmy]

=/ i was never happier to see edge in my life.
but this match, is fucking retarded - and pointless.

[Blitz]

CM Punk sign :love:

[G-wrath]

lol @ the C.M. Punk sign

[Skippord]

Wait since when was Hacksaw Duggan popular

[Azriel]

We need a Foley run in

[darkpower]

Dude, I can go for the Lita jokes...but seriously, "nails on the chalkboard" was what I was thinking throughout Candices speech...thus why I laughed.

Maybe Candice and Lita need to have a Live Sex Celebration. They certainly belong together in THAT case. :lol:

[loopydate]

Whatever happened to ALundra Blaze? Where is she now?

She's racing monster trucks now.

Seriously.

[Azriel]

Its called nostalgia Skip. People go crazy for it

[Corkscrewed]

I missed teh first fifteen minutes, then tuned in to see a hobo on TV facing Edge. Then I realized it was Hacksaw. :lol:

[JT]

I assure you you don't.

Honestly, I'm into him tonight myself. He isn't the greatest wrestler (or ever was), but he's always been entertaining.

[Blitz]

Edge just hit THE POOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNCCCCCCEEEEE

[Corkscrewed]

OLY CRAP EDGE JUST DID...

The POOOOOOUUUUUUNNNNNNCE!!!!!

[loopydate]

That was no spear. That was the

PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOUN-suh!












Period.

[darkpower]

That spear looked like SHIT!

[Corkscrewed]

ROFL at three simultaneous replies.

[loopydate]

:rofl: Great minds think alike.

[St. Jimmy]

lol. poor hacksaw. =/

[Blitz]

Great minds think alike, Corky.

[loopydate]

LOL. You son of a bitch! (audio blanks)

[G-wrath]

edit...Lita'd

[darkpower]

The trusty WWE censors...censoring the next 5 seconds AFTER a cuss word is said. :lol:

[Blitz]

:rofl: Great minds, loopy.

[Schoenauer]

I thought Edge wanted to be champion? Well... so begins another Canadian burial.

[St. Jimmy]

ANGRYYYFACEEEE. *drink*

[Volare]

gee, didnt see that match being made

[Corkscrewed]

Edge is more entertaining when you're watching him on silent.

[darkpower]

KING: I would love to see these two get a room.

More like a SEWER, King.

[darkpower]

Uhh, Show, the camera is to your SIDE...look INTO the camera when doing a fucking PROMO!

[Corkscrewed]

darn, missed the botched censor. Big Show's saying something tho.

[Azriel]

Yes, please stop HHH Show. Like to see you try.

[loopydate]

So, Triple H pins Show tonight to end that feud, send Show back to the midcard, and put HHH in the WM main event.

Any other possible way this turns out?

[G-wrath]

Who was he talking to?

[Volare]

going with the sewer...how bout' a gimmic that entertains instead of whines

[loopydate]

BACKLUND!!!

[Volare]

show was talking to the one fan that thinks he can win

[St. Jimmy]

so, not that i'll happen,
but how big a swerve would it be for RVD to win tonight?

[Blitz]

Rofl the champ is here on the map. Dunno why.

[Azriel]

why they showing this again?

[Volare]

wow, cena found people to cheer....or were paid to :D

[Corndad]

So we've seen Hacksaw and Bob Backlund already, well atleast they know even when they suck they did have a period of glory at one time

[Corkscrewed]

So, Triple H pins Show tonight to end that feud, send Show back to the midcard, and put HHH in the WM main event.

Any other possible way this turns out?

HHH pins RVD :shifty: or BS and RVD

[Azriel]

It's KANE!!

[Corkscrewed]

who's kane gonna kill?

[Corkscrewed]

oh, misters

[Skippord]

What the suckup was that

[Volare]

wow what a waste of tv time for a real match

[St. Jimmy]

who ordered Masters/Kane masochism?

[darkpower]

Masters vs. Kane AGAIN?!

It seems that we've had this match once every WEEK anymore.

[Azriel]

Kill him Kane, please

[Blitz]

Get ready for a technical clinic, people.

[loopydate]

This should be a five-star technical masterpiece on par with, if not surpassing, Savage vs. Steamboat from WrestleMania 3.

[loopydate]

Good God, Blitz, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!


[Curls up in fetal position and rocks back and forth, weeping.]

[darkpower]

He was GONZO?

[Volare]

Coach: Masters does his homework when it comes to his opponents

Yeah, if he DID do his homework, he would come up with something better than a rematch that kills time

[loopydate]

He was GONZO?

Yeah, too bad they released Carmella...

:shifty:

[Azriel]

They're technical prowess is unmatched

[Blitz]

:rofl:

:heart: loopy

[Volare]

the BOOT OF DEATH yes!!!

[Azriel]

Yeah Kane!

[Corkscrewed]

lol masters on a losing streak

[loopydate]

Coach: Masters does his homework when it comes to his opponents

Yeah, if he DID do his homework, he would come up with something better than a rematch that kills time

Not to mention that in all of their previous dozen matches, he's tried to put on the Masterlock, but EVERY SINGLE TIME, Kane gets out of it.

[G-wrath]

so what happend to the tag division?

[Corndad]

wow, thats the first I've seen Kane win in a while...

[St. Jimmy]

oh no. please... no Masters/Kane fued =/
unless it's leading to Masters/Carlito v.s. Kane/Show for the belts.

[Volare]

oh yes Mama wins the IC title for her little boy

[Schoenauer]

Another RAW in Omaha? Damn, I gotta go to it.

[loopydate]

I'm sorry, but Melina is not hot.

[Corkscrewed]

i turned away for a moment; he won with a BOOT?

[loopydate]

:lol: Mickie rules.

And she's not going to Mania...why?

[Azriel]

She's more than decent loopy

[Corndad]

Was this Mickie thing last week?

[loopydate]

She's more than decent loopy

She's got a nice body. She's definitely sexy.

But she's not hot.

Wow. Deja vu...

[Blitz]

:lol: Mickie rules.

And she's not going to Mania...why?

Because clearly Trish/Candace is a better match. :roll:

[Azriel]

Yeah, no idea why they recapping it?

[Volare]

LETS REVIEW so what have we seen tonite...titties bouncing, crap promo about playboy, edge vs an old man, the rematch of the rematch to settle the score of a rematch, and the promotion of the Triple threat match about 20 times

[loopydate]

1/3 of the way through the show, and I'm still waiting for my commercial.

:grumble:

[Blitz]

Would totally mark out if Fonzie came to the ring with RVD.

[Corkscrewed]

it's ok for RVD to talk to no one.. he's high anyway

[loopydate]

See, Vince? He can cut a good promo that doesn't contain the word "dude."

[G-wrath]

lol wow, he was totally reading from a cue card

[Blitz]

Oh boy, Psycho Vince recap.

[Corkscrewed]

lol, the "BAN" of "BANK' was burned out in that arena sign.

I found that humorous.

[Corkscrewed]

ANOTHER recap????

[Volare]

wow...lets harp on the HBK thing

[Azriel]

Oh God, yeah Loopy :lol:

[McLegend]

RVD was so reading that off a monitor. That Promo was terrible

[loopydate]

Recap = Time to get a snack.

Mmmmmm... Sargento SunBursts... Delicious.

SPIRIT SQUAD!!! :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

[Blitz]

Spirit Squad :love:

[Corndad]

SPIRIT SQUAD!

[Corkscrewed]

Vince and His Boy Toys

[The Greater Power]

NO ONE disrespects the Spirit Squad!

[G-wrath]

queerit squad

[Blitz]

Dammit loopy!

[St. Jimmy]

Cock Masters v.s. HBK?

[loopydate]

Poor Mitch... :nono:

[G-wrath]

lol...Mikey and Nick

I have two nephews named that :love:

[Blitz]

Spirit Squad in action :y:

[Volare]

OMG Vince's Hoes came in to pay him

[loopydate]

Is anyone else moderately excited about the "Ultimate Avengers" movie?

[loopydate]

These are the best signs?

[Volare]

hey i thought of somethin...Flair takes Shelton's mama and goes to space mountain

[Corndad]

LOL at the "My Mom can kick Shelton's Mom's Ass" sign

[Azriel]

They're already teasing a Spirit Squad breakup?

[Volare]

WOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo!!!!

[Blitz]

Shelton better win...

[Azriel]

This show has been very underwhelming so far

[loopydate]

hey i thought of somethin...Flair takes Shelton's mama and goes to space mountain

For her, I think he'd need Big Thunder Mountain.

[.44 Magdalene]

Dude, I've been marking out for the Avengers movie for weeks.

[ThruTheWire]

They're already teasing a Spirit Squad breakup?

Nope.

[G-wrath]

lol it looks like they're in a cardboard box

[St. Jimmy]

Mama. *drink*

[Corkscrewed]

lmao Mama in a wheelchair

[Corndad]

I would laugh if he lost her going down the ramp

[Volare]

aww i wanted to see mama go flyin down the ramp in that wheel chair

[Corkscrewed]

ya know, we've just gotten a glimpse of what they'll do to Viscera once he gets too big to walk on his own two feet.

[Schoenauer]

Anyone else have a feeling Mama Benjamin has a heart attack, thus ending this whole Mama Benjamin angle?

[loopydate]

Dude, I've been marking out for the Avengers movie for weeks.

I haven't read any of the Ultimate Avengers books, but I did read all of the "Ultimate War" against the X-Men series, and I really liked how they re-imagined some of the Avenger characters.

Looks like it's going to be an origin story, so I'm guessing no Hawkeye or Black Widow, right?

[St. Jimmy]

this could be a hell of a match, if flair is on cue.

[Corkscrewed]

For her, I think he'd need Big Thunder Mountain.

make that Expedition Everest.

[Azriel]

hopefully Shelton will win this on his own

[Volare]

so far lookin like a squash but we know that could never happen

[Azriel]

make that Expedition Everest.
GET! OUT! OF! MY! HEAD!

[darkpower]

Sorry...I'm away atm...trying to do something real quick for you guys.

[loopydate]

make that Expedition Everest.

:lol: My sister is working at EPCOT, and she got a chance to ride that before it opened. She said it's awesome.

[Blitz]

Ewww. Flair thrusts.

[Azriel]

Seriously, please don't make me vomit my dinner Flair. Don't need to see that.

[loopydate]

Still no commercial.

[darkpower]

COACH: Carlito and Masters made Kane go...
http://darkpower.00freehost.com/common/images/kane_gonzo.jpg
GONZO!!!

[Corkscrewed]

Erm... that was like a T-Rex chop

[loopydate]

WHOA!

[Azriel]

Patience loopy. Stiull have an hour

[Corkscrewed]

cool Samoan Drop counter tho

[Volare]

momma's Stab to the Butt finisher might come in handy tonite

[ThruTheWire]

COACH: Carlito and Masters made Kane go...
http://darkpower.00freehost.com/common/images/kane_gonzo.jpg
GONZO!!!

I don't get it, did somebody shit on his face?

[darkpower]

Saman drop on the floor.

That HAD to fucking HURT!!

[JH]

has anybody paid attention to the guy that keeps holding up the brock lesnar vikings jersey

[darkpower]

I don't get it, did somebody shit on his face?

Gonzo nose...Muppet Gonzo :D

[.44 Magdalene]

I haven't read any of the Ultimate Avengers books, but I did read all of the "Ultimate War" against the X-Men series, and I really liked how they re-imagined some of the Avenger characters.

Looks like it's going to be an origin story, so I'm guessing no Hawkeye or Black Widow, right?

I haven't read a whole lot of it either, but what little I have read is ridiculously bad ass. I'm sure they wouldn't be able to translate as much coolness to animation, but this does look pretty decent. I haven't seen any signs of Widow or Hawkeye, though (both characters I'm sure would be as heavily advertised as, at least, Giantman and the Wasp, who are quite a bit less popular).

Then again, there is some chick on the cover of the movie I have yet to identify, and I'm not real sure what Ultimate Black Widow looks like. Meh. Looks like it could be the best animated Marvel...well...*anything* since the FOX Spiderman series ended, though.

[St. Jimmy]

awesome vertical suplex.

[Volare]

so far good back and fourth match IMO

[Corkscrewed]

i remember when the Dragon whip was shelton's finisher

[Blitz]

Shelton needs to stop springboarding. It never ends well.

[loopydate]

Nice!

Although Shelton's springboard is starting to become like Ric climbing the turnbuckles.

[Corkscrewed]

How did he expect to attack Flair even if he hadn't gotten chopped? Too far away to hit him

[Volare]

damn nice chop

[loopydate]

BLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITZ!!!

[Blitz]

Seriously loopy, this is getting a little eerie.

[darkpower]

oh no not again!

[Blitz]

She's having an infarction!

[Volare]

dont let flair lose like this DAMMIT!!

[.44 Magdalene]

I'm totally digging full heel Shelton, by the way.

[Blitz]

LOL, Oxygen as a weapon.

Hell yeah, new IC champ.

[St. Jimmy]

*marks out*
SHELTON <3

[Azriel]

So, rematch at Mania.

[loopydate]

NEW CHAMP! NEW CHAMP! NEW CHAMP!!!

:heart:

[G-wrath]

So after Flair, who is Shelton gonna feud with?

[ThruTheWire]

lol she used the oxygen mask after he already took the tank?

[loopydate]

So after Flair, who is Shelton gonna feud with?

Probably RVD.

And :lol: @ Shelton struggling to drag Mama up the ramp.

[Corkscrewed]

wrestling doesn't have to make sense. :lol:

[St. Jimmy]

lmao @ shelton looking winded pulling that chair up the ramp.

[Blitz]

Shelton/RVD feud would be money.

[loopydate]

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...

[Volare]

mama can dance though

[The Greater Power]

So after Flair, who is Shelton gonna feud with?

My guess is RVD

[Blitz]

Oh yeah, Spirit Squad next.

[Skippord]

Woooot Spirit Squad

[St. Jimmy]

if you watched NWO last night, you can actually pinpoint the exact moment when Rey's heart breaks. <3
