Official Raw Thread for 8/21 : Could Raw be worse then Summerslam, brother?

Now that the party is over...
August 21, 2006

At SummerSlam, Edge retained his WWE Championship when he slammed challenger John Cena in the back of the head with a pair of brass knuckles that were given to him by Lita. When Edge left the ring holding his WWE Championship proudly, Cena was visibly woozy and looked unsure of what had just taken place. Now that he’s had some time to comprehend just how badly he was screwed by Edge, will Cena have anything to say about it?

DX took on every “resource” that the McMahons threw at them at SummerSlam. By enlisting Kane’s help to take care of the undefeated Samoan Bulldozer Umaga, they were able to fend off the other Superstars that took the McMahons up on their offer. What will the Chairman do on RAW now that DX is still standing stronger than ever? With the impressive win, have Triple H and HBK regained control in their rivalry with Mr. McMahon?

While Kane wasn’t in action at SummerSlam, he will be on RAW. After defeating Shelton Benjamin to become the No. 1 contender to Johnny Nitro’s Intercontinental Champion two weeks ago on RAW, Kane will step into the ring with Nitro on RAW. Can the Big Red Monster be the one to strip Nitro of his championship? Match Preview

Both Mick Foley and Ric Flair were left beaten and ravaged after their “I Quit” Match at SummerSlam. But, with Flair emerging victorious after Foley said “I Quit” to spare his friend Melina from being hit with a barbed wire baseball bat, will the Hardcore Legend have anything to say to his arch nemesis? Will he finally give the “Nature Boy” the respect he refused to give him before their epic encounter at SummerSlam?

However, Flair won't have much time to enjoy the victory. On RAW, he'll take on Randy Orton one night after the Legend Killer came up short in his quest to kill the biggest Legend in WWE history--Hulk Hogan. What condition will the "Nature Boy" be in after such a brutal match with Foley? Will he be able to muster the strength to overcome the younger Orton? Will the Legend Killer take out the frustrations of his SummerSlam loss on the 16-time World Champion?

The only place you’ll find the answers is on RAW, 9/8 CT on the USA Network.

[Corndad]

It is pretty sad that its 5 mins before Raw the night after the 2nd biggest PPV of the year and noone made a thread.

[Corndad]

Actually Clockshot we may be the only two even in here tonight lol

[ClockShot]

A fair amout of people vowed that they will stop watching raw after last night. We'll see what happens.

[Corndad]

Eh, that's been said before. Like alot this year. I figured we would atleast get all the Jeff Hardy fans in here

[Corndad]

Well an Edge promo, hopefully will set this off in atleast a positive way.

[ClockShot]

Ah they're in Bridgeport tonight. Should have gotten tix. :(

[Jaton]

Edge looks G'd up from the feet up.

[Jaton]

Suddenly I like Edge much more.

[Skippord]

Lol Edge

[Jaton]

Why is Edge minus his belt..and Lita?

[Jaton]

HEY MAYBE LITA WILL THROW THAT STUPID BELT IN THE RIVER

[ClockShot]

*goes to set alarm clock for early morning scuba dive*

[Skippord]

Duh Jaton

[Corndad]

YES!!! ATLEAST WE GET A NEW BELT TONIGHT!

[Jaton]

YES! I'm in love with Edge now.

[ClockShot]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

[Corndad]

This betterbe an old school belt.. Ah shit.

[Jaton]

omfg no

[ClockShot]

Ahhhh Shit.

[Corndad]

Damn WWE getting my hopes up.

[Skippord]

Meh

[Skippord]

JEFF WOOO

[Corndad]

WHAT!! Hardy the first night against EDGE??

[ClockShot]

Shit. Hardy's early tonight.

[Skippord]

My TLC hopes arent dead

[Batsu]

Dammit. WWE drops the ball again. At last they get rid of the Cena Belt...and then Edge has something even worse.

[Jaton]

Hm. Hardy can't win the title. You can't put shitty music on a spinner belt.

[Corndad]

well so much for the Striker match everyone had planned out for Jeff

[Vazz]

Another spinner belt yay... :-\ :n:

[Corndad]

Marine promo = my piss break.

[Jaton]

You know what's weird? Jeff Hardy for some strange reason looks different..he looks like he has that main event factor.


Maybe I just got a contact buzz when he came out.

[ClockShot]

What......I thought the Legend Killer gimmick got buried last night. Or to some people a long time ago.

[Vazz]

LOL Cena jumping 50 feet in the air. That movie is going to be worse than Kane's movie.

[Batsu]

Where's that guy who had the Jeff Hardy avatar?

[Fignuts]

"Didn't you die 3 years ago?"

omg I'm rolling.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

That belt looks bloody fucking retarded.

Also, interesting to see Jeff go against Edge.... Maybe give him a strong program with Edge, have him look good, then ship him off to Smackdown since they need the help?

[Johnny Vegas]

Shadow has the hardy avatar...don't know....but i aint gonna lie, i knew it was coming but i mark'd anyway!

[Fignuts]

I also love it when heels make little kids cry.

[Skippord]

"Didn't you die 3 years ago?"

omg I'm rolling.

[ClockShot]

Psych is hitting season finale already. Didn't they have like 5 episodes or something.

[Jaton]

Why does the Vince dvd promo have Chuck Pulumbo's theme?

[Skippord]

I'M ROBBIE

[ClockShot]

Wow. This is gonna be hard to watch.

[Jaton]

Shouldn't Hacksaw be enemies of the Highlanders? It's weird seeing him come out to Scottish music.


This match just screams 1994.

[Skippord]

Hot thread tonight

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Why the fuck is Hacksaw leading a USA chant when his partners are the only two who aren't American?

[Skippord]

Cause hes Hacksaw

[ClockShot]

JR "This match paid for the Psyciatric Association of America"























JUST STOP!

[ClockShot]

Did anyone just hear what the hell he just said?

[Vazz]

People listen to JR?

[Skippord]

No

[ClockShot]

People listen to JR?


Unless you're deaf or you could really REALLY block his voice out while watching. We don't have a god damn choice in the matter.

Then again, you could always hit the mute button or change the channel.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Seriously. I don't listen to him, I just listen to old Joey Styles commentary from old ECW shows... Ironically, the Joey Styles commentary calls more of the moves right too.

[Batsu]

I haven't seen WWE in such a horrid state since the 1990s...

[Batsu]

LOL @ Orton pulling an HBK

[Vazz]

Seriously. I don't listen to him, I just listen to old Joey Styles commentary from old ECW shows... Ironically, the Joey Styles commentary calls more of the moves right too.
:rofl:

[McLegend]

LOL at all the Impact comments after Hardy returned.

[Batsu]

Speaking of HBK, LMAO @ him right now.

[ClockShot]

Half ass paint job.

[Skippord]

ROFLMAO Shawn and the Plane

[ClockShot]

This is......to be honest........a very good match.

[Caged Heat18]

Good evening, I just got home, how has Raw been so far?

[UmbrellaCorporation]

LOL @ the DX logo popping up like three weeks after WWE.com says anything about it

[McLegend]

So it was the Germans that bombed Pearl Harbor.

[Jaton]

Mick Foley to join Kiss My Ass Club.


I miss non-chistian HBK.

[Jaton]

God damn Jeff has serious pyro.

[ClockShot]

WTF. Hardy gets pyro.

Anyway. Jeff Hardy WWE career round 2 is now underway.

[Skippord]

Jeff Got Pyro

[Nervous Ferret]

Nervous Ferret has RETURRNEd to theRaw thread


Dunno, 1st time watching wrestling since like May. When did Jeff Hardy come back? Also this DX stuff makes me want to kill myself repeatedly. It would have been cool in like 1998. What is my boy Cena doing these days? :heart:

Also was watching ECW a few weeks ago and CM Punk was gunna make his debut but I didnt stay wand watch.

[Caged Heat18]

That was a good little match.

[Jaton]

Hardy returned tonight.

[ClockShot]

Wow. An hour in and we're only at 2 pages. Sad.

[Skippord]

Yeah I said hot thread prematurely

[Fignuts]

gotta admit that was impressive. From what little i've seen of hardy in TNA he was pretty sloppy, but tonight everything he did was flawlessly executed.

[Caged Heat18]

You knew someone was going to get thrown into the water.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

was just flicking around and saw Hardy vs Edge so I left it on. lol Lita fucked up the ending so bad. Why didn't she just pull Jeff out of the ring? It was pretty obvious that was what she was suppose to do since he jumped on the otherside to pin him.

I missed Hardy's entrance please tell me they still use the same music from like 1999

[Volare]

thank god im at work and not wasting my life watching this....

though i wanted to see hardy's enterance

[Caged Heat18]

I really hope Kane does not win the title.

[Skippord]

That was lame how they did the water

[Batsu]

Cena should do that 'Van Damme" Kick in the ring.

[YOUR Hero]

I was going to watch wrestling tonight, but it's not on. Ummmmmmmm....

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......ppfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft.........

yeahhhhhhhh.... ok.

[Batsu]

It's a shame the crowd is dead. This is one of the better looking matches tonight, minus the botched spot earlier. And it's a squash.

[Batsu]

See... they were telling a story there. I wasn't expecting that RKO then.

[Batsu]

I saw that Carlito run-in a mile away.

[Batsu]

LOL... that springboard elbow kicks 10x more ass when Carlito is in plain clothes.

[Skippord]

Just like Carlito does

[ClockShot]

Holy air supply batman. This RAW sucks so much the entire population of the tri-state area died from lack of oxygen.

[Johnny Vegas]

Damn, i aint gonna lie..that was a swerve..thought Mick was gonna turn on Melina..

[Skippord]

That was cool

[Johnny Vegas]

LOLOLLOLOLOL OH SHIIIIIIITTTT ROFLLLL

[Johnny Vegas]

Lol those screams reminded me of when Austin whipped Vince's ass at that hospital

[Batsu]

Ok, that was crap. How many angles were rehashed tonight?

[ClockShot]

Wow. That was the worse post PPV raw show to date.

[Gerard]

gotta admit that was impressive. From what little i've seen of hardy in TNA he was pretty sloppy, but tonight everything he did was flawlessly executed.


He was having an off night, rest assured next week he'll be back to his crash dummy best.

[Shadow]

Where's that guy who had the Jeff Hardy avatar?

:wave:

Hi...I'm Shadow. And I had to work tonight. I TViOed RAW, fast forwarded through the bad parts and got the Jeff part.

Oh gods...they dropped the ball on this.

[Gerard]

Anyone find it funny that when vince was shitting himself abut the dx logo on titan towers it was the same logo that was put there a few weeks back? They had an article about vince calling the cops on wwe.com before the article got mysteriously yanked from the site. Musta thought it was "comedy gold" for an angle and pulled it after a few hundred thousand people seen it. :wtf:

[RGWhat316]

Wow, only 3 pages for a RAW thread? That has to be a new low. It didn't seem like that horrible of a show from where I sat.

Of course Edge got our hopes up for a new belt, but that went downhill fast. Jeff's debut wasn't too bad, but I expected it to be a Charlie Haas type return. Some of Edge's comments were pretty funny as well. And I'm still enjoying the DX antics. Flair/Orton was pretty good as well. And even though I knew Foley would go through the KMA for Melina, I actually didn't expect her to turn on him right away. Though the one thing I hated, is that it seems Mickie has been tossed away, not even to get a rematch.

[Petethegeekstreet]

:wave:

Lets forget the part where the crowd barely noticed he was there.

[Impact!]

LOL at all the Impact comments after Hardy returned.
huh

[St. Jimmy]

Thread was small because I was out doing stupid shit tonight and couldn't be here to do my 'omgunnecessaryspam' that I do ever so well. Thought it was one of the better RAWs in awhile. Sucks that Foley is leaving, since he's been nothing but gold lately. I seriously cannot believe Edges belt.... seriously, I actually rewound the tape I recorded it on and paused it... and went "What... the.... fuck?"

Moments later I marked out Shadow-wise for Jeff and died laughing at "Didn't you die like 3 years ago?!". :y:

[Londoner]

Though the one thing I hated, is that it seems Mickie has been tossed away, not even to get a rematch.


That's what I hate most about WWE these days, and it is one reason why i'm just about done with wrestling(didn't watch raw last night, not going to watch the replays either, going to dodge all highlight shows to). I find it more entertaining checking out what's going on with WWE here rather than watching it.

Don't be shocked if Nitro sarts jobbing after his IC title run.

[Shadow]

Lets be honest here folks...for the past three years, Jeff has been dead to the WWE audience. Of course they're not gonna notice him.

Let's hope next week is a little bit better.

[Petethegeekstreet]

Let's hope next week they put him on Heat.

[Destor]

ROFL @ Pete on this page.

[Team Sheep]

Well I thought that was one of the best Raw's for a while. Enjoyed the DX antics.
