A trio of questions

September 25, 2006

There are three burning questions in the minds of the RAW (http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/) fans as RAW heads to Oklahoma City this week.

Who will Coachman choose?
In Oklahoma City, D-Generation X will face three teams of Executive Assistant Jonathan Coachman (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/jonathancoachman/)'s choice in a Gauntlet Match. DX must face all three teams in a row, and with all the Superstars at the Executive Assistant's disposal, who will Coachman choose to battle Triple H (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/tripleh/) and Shawn Michaels?

Who will succeed Trish?
Trish Stratus (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/trishstratus/) won the Women’s Championship at Unforgiven, but her retirement forced the championship to be vacated. Every Diva wants to become champion; eight of them will have their chance, as RAW will see the beginning of an 8-Diva tournament to determine a new Women's Champion. The first match of the tournament will kick off RAW right at 9/8 CT. Who will take the first step towards being the one to succeed Trish?

Can Nitro withstand the Big Red Monster?
Also in Oklahoma City, Johnny Nitro will defend the Intercontinental Championship against Kane (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/kane/). Weeks ago, Kane's first chance at Nitro's gold was interrupted by Umaga, who came to the ring to attack the Big Red Monster. This time, however, Umaga has been banned from ringside. An opportunistic Nitro was able to retain his gold in a Six-Pack Challenge last week; can he do it two weeks in a row, or will Oklahoma City see a Big Red Champion crowned?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
And supposedly, Eric Bischoff is in the building.

Looks like an interesting night.

[Shadow]

I guess Bischoff managed to get the lifhts turned off

[ClockShot]

Nope. I'm guessing technical difficulties. Rookie in the truck.

[Shadow]

THIS IS GREATEST RAW EVER!

[Skippord]

Sweet

[ClockShot]

I gotta bouce between this, Heroes, and a couple of games. Thumbs are gonna be getting a workout.

[HaTeR]

LMAO... this is so embarrassing

Kurt goes to TNA, and one night after, they can barely keep the power on for their following RAW, that looks bad.

[ron the dial]

Lita looks so much better when it's hard to see her face.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Haha, this is gold.

[owenbrown]

LMFAO @ the lights shut off... :rofl: Either Vince didn't pay the bill.... or this is another DX prank. :shifty:

[What Would Kevin Do?]

This is odd.... It's like House Show is Raw.

[Shadow]

so...this is why we shouldn't miss the first 10 minutes of RAW?

[Jeritron]

nwo got to the truck

[owenbrown]

Note to Vince..... NEVER GIVE LITA THE MIC AGAIN! :nono:

[Shadow]

WHO DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING?

[ClockShot]

LOL!

What was that on the titantron?

[ron the dial]

nwo got to the truck
No fucking way. But wouldn't that just make my night?

[Shadow]

Apperently the startup screen.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

You know, if they wanted to make this Golden, due the whole show like this.... Have EVERYTHING go wrong for coach...Then in the last match of the gauntlet,hve total power failure, only for the lights and everything come back with DX laid out, and Bisch, Hall, and Nash in the ring.

THat would be the awesomeness.

[Shadow]

And Edge was responsible for the technical difficulties apperently.

[ClockShot]

God damn. He's still in the ring and wingin' this promo.

[Tb1]

Aaaaaaaaaand we're back. At least the roof's not on fire.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

lol. I don't have ten bucks.


Kinda caught me off guard. :D

[Skippord]

Note to Vince..... NEVER GIVE LITA THE MIC AGAIN! :nono:

[Tb1]

LMAO. Lita speaking the truth.

[Skippord]

lol Edge

[Shadow]

How the hell do they do it? They hated Cena and now...they love him.

Why did I have to wait for the first 10 minutes of RAW again?

[Fignuts]

Since when did they start televising dark matches?

[UmbrellaCorporation]

How the hell do they do it? They hated Cena and now...they love him.

Why did I have to wait for the first 10 minutes of RAW again?


I'm wondering the same thing. About both things, actually.

[Shadow]

Hey look...it's Nitro and Melina......let's see what storyline they'll follow tonight.

[Tb1]

How the hell do they do it? They hated Cena and now...they love him


I bet the speakers in the arena were delayed. Yeah, they were probably cheering Edge.

[Shadow]

no Umaga?

We'll have some Jeff Hardy interference

[ClockShot]

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMAGA!

[Shadow]

There goes my theory.

[Shadow]

I bet we'll end this fued in a steel cage

[Skippord]

That was gay

[owenbrown]

Yeah, Coach really has control of this show tonight. :shifty:

[Shadow]

Anyone but me just loves HBK's expressions?

[Skippord]

Seriously that made me rather angry

[Skippord]

I do too Shadow I do too

[Shadow]

HHH is molesting Maria! NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

[Shadow]

....SHE JUST KILLED EUGENE!

[ClockShot]

Eugene...............which leads into...........Bischoff?

[Skippord]

Maria's adorable

[Shadow]

Yes Tb1...Trips is gold. Which is odd seeing as how I hate HHH.

[Shadow]

What happened to Tb1?

[Tb1]

Also, I find that I tend to hurt myself whenever I see Eugene. Anyone have the same problem?

[Shadow]

Damn was Andre big.

Shelton playing with Torrie's puppies?

I'm jealous.

[Tb1]

I tried to change my comment, because the wording seemed a bit awkward. "Trips is gold". But it was deleted, meh

[Shadow]

Shelton going face?

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

Oh...........gods.....

[Jaton]

Nizzles....

[ClockShot]

Coach took the words out of my fingers.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

LOL HARDY.

[Shadow]

Jeff...you're fucking insane...you really are.

[Skippord]

I :heart: Jeff

[Tb1]

Jeff's shirt circa 1999

[Shadow]

They haven't gotton around to getting Jeff new shirts

[RawRocks]

still wondering why i should have watched the first 10 minutes.

[Shadow]

I missed the Spirit Squad's entrance?

I am sad.

[Jaton]

Strangely, I feel like Johnny will be the first to leave the SS..and I think he'll go solo.

We wish him the best in his future endeavors.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

lol, spirit squad.

[Shadow]

That was impressive.

[Shadow]

Here comes the ...I guess not a dusty finish.

[ClockShot]

Flair is gonna get a Spirit Squad member each week.

[Schoenauer]

Why do I have the feeling that Edge is going to use a weapon on Cena and attempt to use a loophole the next RAW stating that he never laid a finger on him?

[Shadow]

For 5 weeks?

Ironbite-BORING!

[Jaton]

Because he is.

[Shadow]

John Cena on MadTV....going the Trish rought eh?

[Shadow]

I've never seen DX's entrance before this.

It's nice.

[Schoenauer]

One of the teams is probably Cryme Time.

[Shadow]

What's with the Mic in the Stone routine?

They're having hard time geting crowd reactions tonight.

[Shadow]

HHH doing the New Age Outlaws speil just doesn't work that well.

[ClockShot]

The Highlanders up first.

[Shadow]

One team down...

Oh........................gods.

[Shadow]

Anyone but me miss clean cut Haas?

[Jaton]

Charlie Hass has had such a successful return. That was a five star feud with Shelton, and I absolutely loved how far and deep the angle with Lillian/Vis went.

[Shadow]

Where the hell is everyone tonight?

[Jaton]

I have no idea. Probably uh..

I don't know.

[ClockShot]

Don't know Shadow. Alot of us were hyped for Heroes tonight. I caught some bits and pieces of it.

[Shadow]

Oh fuck...I forgot about Heros....

Son of a bitch.

[The Optimist]

Where the hell is everyone tonight?
Just got here. . .:( Tag Teams jobbing

[ClockShot]

Dammit. I was hoping for CRYME TIME!

[Shadow]

Lance Cade and Murdoch..another steryotype.

And someone fucked up big time on that one spot.

AND JEFF HARDY WASN'T INVOLVED!

[The Optimist]

I love how they did nothing but aid in the shitification of the Tag Team division by showing that two singles wrestlers could beat almost every contending team.

[Shadow]

3 hours of...crap?

[The Optimist]

Yeah, why are they even doing that, what is the "reunion" suppoosed to be about?

[ClockShot]

Tivo it and watch Heroes.

[Shadow]

Crap?

[ClockShot]

EVERYBODY KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?

[The Optimist]

Crap?
Just making sure.

[Skippord]

Cryme Tyme COMPTON!

[Shadow]

..........................This is Cryme Time?

THEY FUCKING SUCK!

[AJHayes]

When will they steal some bikes?

[Jaton]

Cryme Tyme. Hilarity will ensue.

[The Optimist]

Hardy vs. Benjamin lets hope for hte best.

[Shadow]

Who thought it was a good idea to give Jeff pyro?

[Jaton]

Nigga stole my bike. :)

[Shadow]

When will they steal some bikes?

That'd be funny...it'll be in next promo.

[Shadow]

Almost fucked up that spot.

Almost.

[The Optimist]

Jeff was actaully wrestling for a minute there.

[Shadow]

I know Flair Wooo....he's going through a phase.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Obviously Jeff Hardy didn't beat Benjamin. He was coming off of an acid trip and was covering his shadow, who for no apparent reason, is wearing red tights.</drug reference>

...Nah, Jeff was the man in that match. Really liking him a lot more now. :y:

[Shadow]

...Is it just me or does Jeff seem to be having more fun this time around in the WWE than he did the last run?

Wonder what he had put in in his contract.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

He seems infinitely better than he was in his first run or his TNA run. At least to me.

[The Optimist]

Man, that was sad. I even like Hardy and I thought Benjamin should have won.

[Shadow]

And with that match...I'M DONE WITH RAW FOLKS! SEE YA NEXT WEEK!

[AJHayes]

A little side note during "The Marine" promo... Sadistic neg repped me. lol.

[ClockShot]

Cena/Lita is the main event. Good god. And I'm still holding out for Eric Bischoff to show up.

[The Optimist]

Orton/Masters. . .why God. . .

Wasn't this supposed to be a World Title match by now?

[KingofOldSchool]

Hey it's two members of the Wellness Policy victims.

[The Optimist]

They should start a stable with Kane called "The De-pushed"

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Well, let's hope something saves this shitty ass raw.

[AJHayes]

Well, let's hope something saves this shitty ass raw.

Not Even Doom Music can save this RAW

[Tb1]

Well, let's hope something saves this shitty ass raw.


Kurt Angle couldn't even save this RAW.

[ClockShot]

I'M BACK!

[Tb1]

BISCHOFF!

[owenbrown]

Bischoff!!!

[The Optimist]

Wow, I'm watching Raw with The Critic and he got me almost hyped for something unexpected. Wow.

Eric Bicshoff plugging his book.

Suprise.

[ClockShot]

The hell with your book Bisch. GET BACK ON TV!

[The Optimist]

. . .Kennedy

[The Optimist]

Oh shit NWO shoutouts. This could be brutal.

[Tb1]

I bet this segment was meant for the beginning of RAW. They probably had to scrap it because of the power issues, and that's probably why they had the whole "First 10 minutes" rumor.

[ClockShot]

BULLSHIT!

[Batsu]

Damn. Bischoff on Raw >>>>>>>>>>>>> Vince on Raw.

[Fryza]

On an important note, Saints are hammering the Falcons.

[owenbrown]

That sucks. Why did they cut him off on his worked shoot?

[Schoenauer]

Because it's a work and the people who cut Bischoff off had no idea?

[The Optimist]

Wow. . .Eric Bicshoff was the important "You need to watch this" ten minutes. TNA gets Angle, WWE "suprises" with bringing Bischoff back.
:(

[ClockShot]

Thank god that was fast. 5 minutes to kill now.

[Tb1]

The King's Court

[Skippord]

Asskicking

[AJHayes]

Finlay and Regal make watching RAW worth my 2 hours

[The Optimist]

Oh yeah, Smackdown runs in and makes me happy.

[ClockShot]

Was today a supershow. Or is smackdown a state over?

[owenbrown]

Rapscallion?! Nice vocabulary King Booker has. :rofl:

[Tb1]

Thank god for the run-in.

[ClockShot]

Fuck this. I wasted my 2 hours of living for this ending. Have a good night everyone.

[Tb1]

Worst RAW in a long time.

[owenbrown]

Worst RAW <s>in a long time</s> since last week.

[PorkSoda]

Anyone ever see the Whose Line episode where the participants had to do a scene in the dark? Wayne Brady was Zoro and he had to rescue Kathy? He was in the back by the chairs? WWE could have pulled this off easily tonight. Why not make the whole show in the dark?

During the end, Finlay could have interfered but would have attacked a fan instead of Cena. Regal could have taken down Hugo Savinovich, and King Booker could have hit the axe kick on a fan and then look around to see what they've done. Meanwhile, Cena is going haywire on the turnbuckles......

[KingofOldSchool]

That last segment dragged on too long, much like the rest of the show.

[loopydate]

Reading this thread makes me happy I watched Heroes and Studio 60 instead. I flipped back and forth during commercials, so I saw a bit of the Carlito/Crazy/Masters/Orton match and all of the overrun. Sounds like I didn't miss much, eh?

[Schoenauer]

Bahgawd... BAH-FUCKIN' PIECE OF DOG SHIT!! This RAW was diarreah coming out of my dick. This RAW was about as appealing as a fucking ooze infested dirty fucking sewer rat shit. I've had more fun playing with dog turds. Orton's my ass and Bischoff's my balls. I'd rather yank all the hairs out of my scrotum. This RAW was an inside out asshole regurgitating putriid, anal fecal matter. It sucking fucks, it fucking sucks, it fucking blows! It's a piece of shit! And I didn't like it.

[mike627]

why where there 4 peices of SD trash on Raw tonight? Booker and his court need to stay in the Cartoon Brand.

[Blitz]

Heroes>>>>>>Raw

[loopydate]

Heroes>>>>>>Raw

Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Anything Else On TV

[Blitz]

Watching it now :D

[Vastardikai]

why where there 4 peices of SD trash on Raw tonight? Booker and his court need to stay in the Cartoon Brand.

Um... Finlay and Regal are perhaps two of the best Set-up guys in the business. While they don't necessarily put asses in seats on their own, they are best used to get folks like Lashley, Batista, and some of the guys who will be the next big face ready for the Main Event. And both can work good matches with ANYONE, regardless of style.

As far as King Book-ah! You Rapscallion, you shalln't talk of the King of the Smackdown Kingdom in such a manner. Seriously, He is one of the best and most entertaining wrestlers in the E. He's also only the Second Black World Heavyweight Champion.

As for Sharmell... well, 1 out of 4 ain't bad.

But seriously, I think Cena should have to work a short program with Regal, it'd do wonders for his ring work. That or he'll get fucked up so bad he'll quit. So it's win/win.

[darkpower]

why where there 4 peices of SD trash on Raw tonight?

Because they were the only entertaining things on RAW tonight (other than Bishoff, who looks like they may bring him back as a face).

[What Would Kevin Do?]

This Raw doesn't deserve to be stickied anymore...
