Raw Thread 4/17/06 "Crisis Sucks"

[Azriel]

This was a cool segment

[Face Heely]

Gee, writers, thanks for that great "anal-what?" line that probably looked great on paper, but makes no freakin' sense out loud.

That being said, Carlito's delivery made it almost not-totally-stilted. Which is why he's, how you say...cool?

[G-wrath]

:shifty:

[ClockShot]

For a minute there I thought Masters was wearing nothing.

[Azriel]

I loved Striker putting in the "Bueller"

[The Optimist]

I take it that Master's interfered because he considers education to be VERY cool.

[Skippord]

Fucking Masters

[RawRocks]

you know what would be cool.... Stryker and Nowinski teaming up with Spirit Squad

[The Greater Power]

Snitsky Dust

[loopydate]

That was a really good segment. Just goes to show how talented Striker is.

...so naturally, we won't see him on RAW again until August.

[The Greater Power]

LOL SNITSKY

[Azriel]

That was just odd :lol:

[ClockShot]

MILLION DOLLAR MAN!. THAT MADE MY NIGHT!

[The Optimist]

I hope Goldust + Snitsky works as well as Booker T + Goldust

[zdmay]

LOL at Goldust, the Snit, and a midget, with Candice Michelle.

[Azriel]

Mr. Money in the Bank RVD!

[The Greater Power]

"You don't wanna do what I do with that harmonica"

*sniffs harmonica

[The Optimist]

LOOK AT THE BREIFCASE that's so badass

[loopydate]

Custom briefcase? Cool.

Wait, was Dibiase just on RAW and I totally missed it?

[Azriel]

Now, whats going on here?

[loopydate]

*Waits for Kane Knight to come in here and mock me*

[ClockShot]

:love: Here we go!

[Face Heely]

Woo! RVD on the trampoline!

[Azriel]

This shuld be interesting

[RawRocks]

The Spirit Squad.. WWE must be reading my mind.

[ClockShot]

Wow. And I was hoping for a clinic.

[loopydate]

Seriously, how can people not love the Spirit Squad? Yeah, it was a squash, but it was entertaining as hell. Ken Doane throws the best guillotine legdrop since Psicosis' prime.

And :rofl: @ Trish.

[zdmay]

LOL at confused Maria. The best feud going is coming next.

[Face Heely]

OMFG Trish is a hot brunette. :drool:

[Azriel]

And that is really sad

[Savio]

So whats the stip?

[RawRocks]

LOL @ Micky James err Trish James... err Micky STratus

[The Greater Power]

lol Spirit Squad backstage

[ClockShot]

Trish went up in points with the hair and clothes. Can't say the same about Mickey.

[The Greater Power]

lol they are showing the Trish/Maria thing again on Unlimited

[Azriel]

Trish looks good as a brunette

and the SS should really switch to decaf

[St. Jimmy]

RVD sold the Parachute Powerbomb like no ones bussiness.

[St. Jimmy]

i want Maria *licks*

[Azriel]

Savior,. now both the MITB contract and the IC title will be defended at Backlash

[G-wrath]

I'd :rofl: if it was Mickie's grandpappy

[Skippord]

:drool:

[loopydate]

*Trying to find a way of saying that I think Ashley is in the box without making it sound sexual*

So, yeah, Mickie's going to come down, and Trish's surprise will be a revenge beatdown from Ashley.

[ClockShot]

In the words of Brad Pitt from Se7en. "WHAT'S IN THE BOX!?"

[Batsu]

Trish....

[St. Jimmy]

i <3 trish dressed like that.

[Face Heely]

Bitchy/sarcastic Trish is the best.

I'm totally digging this role-reversal thing.

[Batsu]

And what's with this pushing Maria's nose that happens every week? ROYALTIES!!!

[Batsu]

LMAO!!!!!!!

[Skippord]

I just want to say that Jack is my new hero

[ClockShot]

Damn. Big site crash. LOL! GREAT SEGMENT.

[Face Heely]

Well, I found a reason to watch regularly. That was a sweet segment.

[Azriel]

That was awesome

[Batsu]

Edge and Lita. The perfect couple.

[McLegend]

What a fucking storyline this is. Talking Trish and Mickie

[The Greater Power]

I hope we see a DX crotch chop by HHH tonight

[zdmay]

Love Trish/Mickie

"Both you bitches are crazy!"

[The Greater Power]

Grisham is actually pretty funny

[Batsu]

You know what would be funny... if Edge ended up getting his ass kicked by HHH this week anyway...

[Skippord]

Nevermind

[G-wrath]

Why are they showing this again?

[Azriel]

Lillian's a wuss :lol:

[Skippord]

I really want to see "See No Evil"

[Azriel]

See No Evil does look decent

[Savio]

Kane might be the best actor in that movie.

[Savio]

Edge should drop lita

[Azriel]

Please shut up lita

[ClockShot]

Majority pro-cena crowd tonight.

[Batsu]

LOL @ this Cena Heat!

[Batsu]

This board crashing = PB&J

[Batsu]

Well, that ending was lame. Why is that damn Spear Edge's official "Finisher" all of a sudden? They treat his REAL finisher like it's a setup move.

[Skippord]

NICE

[loopydate]

I gotta hand it to WWE. For a main event that looks pretty weak on paper, they're doing a really good job of making all three guys look like viable threats to win the match.

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

Funny, not really hearing any booing for anybody, just different pitches in cheers.

[Savio]

They had HHH dominate that whole match.....:|

(Maybe thats just ANti-HHH speech)

[Blitz]

:lol: at Trish/Jack/Mickie.

[loopydate]

Backlash is actually shaping up to be pretty good.

The Triple Threat is being booked well. All three guys have looked strong on their own in the handicap matches, and each one picked up a "clean" victory over one of their opponents, with each one taking one fall. While I'm still pretty sure we'll either see HHH get it or Cena turn heel and retain, WWE has me suspending my disbelief and thinking that Edge actually has a shot.

The Women's Title match is being booked as well as the women's division has been in...well...ever. Trish and Mickie are both beautiful women, yes, but they're also great in-ring talents and they play their characters so well. The new wrinkle of Mickie "becoming" Trish and Trish "becoming" Mickie makes this that much more interesting. Now, if only they could book the Cruiserweight Title like this.

Kane vs. Big Show isn't going to be a technical masterpiece in the vein of Savage/Steamboat or Hart/Hennig, but it's being built up well. Kane's little psychotic episode this week is a good step toward getting Kane back to monster status. And I like the thought of the Big Show - of all people - trying to be the one to talk him down. I was really happy there were no "voices" tonight, because that had me worried last week.

I really don't know where they're going with RVD vs. Shelton. I think it's pretty clear that they want RVD to cash in MITB at One Night Stand, but throwing the IC Title into the mix is an interesting touch. Does RVD win the WWE and IC belts at the same time this summer? Do RVD and Shelton trade the IC belt back and forth, building both men to the main event? And where does Charlie Haas now fit into all this?

I hope they go somewhere with Matt Striker involved in the Carlito/Chris Masters feud, but I doubt they will. It's a pity, because he plays a great heel. It's pretty clear that Carlito is carrying his feud with the Masterpiece, but it still doesn't keep it from being interesting. Carlito is certainly going to be part of the next generation of WWE stars, and remember The Rock started by feuding with The Sultan.

And, finally, God's tag match. They had me worried when Vince cut his (no pun intended) god-awful promo to start the show, but they redeemed themselves with the pyro display. I'm sure that we'll find out in a week or so that Vince himself had that pyro set up just to further play with HBK's head, but it was kind of a cool moment. I still think Foley is going to wind up being "God," but the DX reunion tease makes for a good casual swerve.

[Volchok]

I have a feeling we'll have a DX reunion at Backlash...

[Lock Jaw]

Wow. So they bring back Haas, only to have him get beat down for most of the match.

[loopydate]

I have a feeling we'll have a DX reunion at Backlash...

It's a tease. If they were really going to do it, they wouldn't be hinting at it so broadly.

[Volchok]

:( I know... but I can dream can't I?

[loopydate]

Absolutely. To be honest, the mark in me would go nuts if DX reunited. My Swervy Sense is just tingling.

[Corkscrewed]

I'd say RVD wins via DQ or something like that where the belt doesn't change hands. Not sure though... they might just give him the title so they don't have to do anything with it for two months, and RVD would go into ONS with momentum, since he'd be a champ, and then he might win the WWE belt and own the two highest RAW belts at the same time (so we'd be led to hope).

[Blitz]

:drool: at the prospect of a Carlito/Striker feud.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I'd say RVD wins via DQ or something like that where the belt doesn't change hands. Not sure though... they might just give him the title so they don't have to do anything with it for two months, and RVD would go into ONS with momentum, since he'd be a champ, and then he might win the WWE belt and own the two highest RAW belts at the same time (so we'd be led to hope).

I'm thinking after a long, close match, RVD nails the 5 *. But instead of pinning him, he picks him up, nails a Van Daminator (gets DQd), and then hits the Van Terminator. He then goes on a little rant about being extreme, not needing the IC title, because he'll be fighting for the world title at ECW ONS.

[Nervous Ferret]

yeah like loop said, Backlash actually seems really good. I think WWe is back on the upswing.

[Lara Emily]

TSN just switched to Relax-O-Vision earlier....

[blake639raw]

I've heard that Cena is expected to turn heel and drop the belt to RVD at ONS. It would be cool to see RVD throw Cena's bling bling belt in the garbage, and bring out his own belt, the old ECW title. He could proclaim himself the "ECW champion". This feud could be really good I believe. Cena will be loads fresher with a heel turn, and maybe him losing the title for a while is the best thing for his career.

[Skippord]

I want RVD to throw the Bling Bling belt in the trash light a joint take a puff and throw it in the trash to light it on fire
