Official RAW Thread 1/8/2007: With the Revolution over, on to the Rumble.

[ClockShot]

Wow. Orton is right up there with Mercury.

[Skippord]

The main thing that is keeping me tuned in is the Rated RKO celebration.
That and the trainwreck factor

[Azriel]

well, I guess Trips gets time to play daddy, that's at least one advantage

[I Love Alexandria]

Wa Ortons Cut Legit or a Multi Blade Job

[NeanderCarl]

Last time Triple H missed time due to injury, he returned and kicked off the worst period in Raw history ("The Triple H Show" of 2002) with his selfishness and spotlight hogging. What's more the injury turned him into a spiteful and paranoid politician, and a washed-up, cautious and abysmal wrestler.

Over the years he has managed to finally reclaim his form, and let others climb the ladder above him.

Will this new injury lead to the return of the OLD, 2002 Triple H??

[Skippord]

Khali will tap out tonite

Two guys feud over who the better man is....so simple it's genius

[NeanderCarl]

I think Orton was busted open hardway early in the match, and also bladed later on.

[RGWhat316]

These two really just seem different tonight.

[NeanderCarl]

Fuckin hell, only half hour to go?? This show went rather quickly tonight.

[Londoner]

Damn Orton looks messed up. he also called the PPV 'new years resolution' I think, lol.

[Skippord]

I want Edge's shirt

[Skippord]

These two really just seem different tonight.
Their souls were crushed by the Donald vs Rosie match

[I Love Alexandria]

Edge looks depressed

[ClockShot]

This, probably a quick filler, then main event.

[Londoner]

Edge looks depressed


Can you blame him after what happened earlier in the show? Even im depressed watching this.

[Skippord]

BTW I'd totally go gay for Edge

[NeanderCarl]

We haven't seen Cryme Tyme yet.... maybe they'll crash this party....? That, or a tag team match next.

[I Love Alexandria]

Big Show Retired already?

[Londoner]

I called the handicap match earlier, it should be tonight though damnit.

[NeanderCarl]

Oh dear... a new DX T-shirt. Bad timing or what?

[RGWhat316]

All these just seem out of it after what happened earlier.

[I Love Alexandria]

HBK looks like he is gonna cry

[NeanderCarl]

So X-Pac will show up next week then.

[Azriel]

I think HBK couldn't even believe the shit that happened earlier.

[RGWhat316]

Everyone looks like they are gonna be out of a job.

[Azriel]

I dont think even nostalgia can save XPac's reputation Carl

[NeanderCarl]

Well, WWE paid for X-Pac's rehab, and he remains good friends with HBK and HHH, both of whom have more than enough influence with Vinnie Mac.

I called a Cryme Tyme match, did I not? Check me!

[NeanderCarl]

For some reason in that gear Lance Cade reminds me of the original Hunter Hearst-Helmsly.

[ClockShot]

Jesus. What a long night.

[ClockShot]

In other news. 34-14 FLA in the BCS game.

[NeanderCarl]

Is Khali still undefeated, or did Taker get his win back?

[NeanderCarl]

Just asking because is John Cena about to end yet another 8 month monster build-up?

[Skippord]

lol JTG

[Schoenauer]

I think everyone lost their smile tonight.

[ClockShot]

Another roll up?! What's the next place after hell?

[NeanderCarl]

I think the Roll-Up must be the most successful finishing move in WWE history.

[RGWhat316]

Is Khali still undefeated, or did Taker get his win back?
Taker won a Last Man Standing match the SD before SummerSlam.

[ClockShot]

Gotta be. 3 last night. 1 tonight.

[Innovator]

Joe is gonna kill you, joe is gonna kill you, joe is gonna kill you

[RGWhat316]

A reminder of why we watch, hoping something good will happen in the future.

[I Love Alexandria]

WHY are they Reshowing this

[NeanderCarl]

MORE??? MORE of this???

Did we really need to replay the WORST part of the show?

[ClockShot]

JUST STOP!!!!!

[NeanderCarl]

DAMN! is right.

[I Love Alexandria]

Why do the people Boooo Him?

[ClockShot]

I must break you....

[NeanderCarl]

Koslov is funny.

[RGWhat316]

Double Double E

[ClockShot]

God. This night would have rebounded big time if Khali just destroyed Eugene right then and there.

[NeanderCarl]

No hype for the Royal Rumble whatsoever tonight. No participants announced, no matches announced.... nothing. And it's, what, about three weeks away?

[NeanderCarl]

I remember back when I started watching, it was just after Royal Rumble 1992 so my first Rumble as a fan was the 1993 offering. They started announcing participants like 2 months before, almost straight after the Survivor Series. A couple of new entrants per week. It was pretty cool.

Now it's three weeks away and we don't even know ONE yet.

[Skippord]

I LOVE DOUBLE DOUBLE E

[Skippord]

Not really though

[NeanderCarl]

Is Estrada going to manage The Great Khali now??

[ClockShot]

5 minutes. I say run in by Umaga, then we fade to black.

[NeanderCarl]

You know what I'd LOVE to see....

The Great Khali vs Giant Silva vs Giant Gonzalez vs The Big Show

[NeanderCarl]

Did I say that out loud???

[RGWhat316]

Cena runs into me and falls, yyyaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

[NeanderCarl]

A DQ? What????

I cannot believe it! Who ever would have considered the main event of Raw ending on a DQ!? WTF???

[ClockShot]

To all who survived this night. I commend you.

Skippy, you still with us?

[NeanderCarl]

:rofl: @ Umaga's "I think I may have... yeah... yeah, I've shit my pants" run.

[Innovator]

KARATE CHOP OF DEATH

DANGEROOOOUUUUUS

[Schoenauer]

How did I manage to keep my TV on RAW for the whole show?...

[RGWhat316]

If we can survive this night, we can survive almost anything.

[NeanderCarl]

Well, Umaga DIDN'T take the night off.

Cena called it! Rep for John Cena.

[Chuck Jones]

Yes, they chanted VKM tonight.

[I Love Alexandria]

Didnt Rikishi do the same butt move and it wasnt that dangerous?

[Skippord]

I HATE DOUBLE DOUBLE E

[Azriel]

Well, at least next week can't get worse...or can it? :shifty: Goodnight everybody

[NeanderCarl]

Worst Raw ever?? Not quite. It takes a lot to beat some of the Raws from 1994/95 and 2002/03 in the "worst" stakes. But it wasn't "good" by any stretch of the imagination.

[ClockShot]

I'm out. Have a good night everyone. I suggest everybody get some sleep over this.

[NeanderCarl]

But there's a light at the end of the tunnel, because Raw has just acquired the superstar who will lead to the next big boom period... the Grrrrrrrrrrreat Khaaaaaaaaaaali.

Or maybe not.

[Skippord]

I'm out. Have a good night everyone. I suggest everybody get some sleep over this.
Pretty sure it will haunt my nightmares

[Innovator]

But there's a light at the end of the tunnelHe is too busy feuding with Hardcore Holly right now

[Skippord]

I'm gonna go sit in my shower with the water running and sob for a little while

[Innovator]

I'm gonna go sit in my shower with the water running and sob for a little whileI tried, water isn't hot enough

[RVDmark]

I haven't watched yet but by the looks of it I may be fast forwarding a lot. How lkely is it that Vince could get Jericho and maybe Rock, Rustin in for WM. Its about what he would need. Plus the immediate release of Khali, and addition of Benoit and Regal to main events on a regular basis. Then this years WM could come off as passable.

But a TNA/VKM chant on RAW this I have got to see.

Rock / Austin don't have to wrestle to improve the show.

[RP]

Like I'm beginning to think vince is purposefully putting shit on television so TNA will catch up, and the competition will help him get his edge back.

It sounds retarded but its the only reason for the bad quality of the WWE that I can think of.


I've been saying that for like the last 3 months, but everyone just assumes its a stupid idea.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I've been saying that for like the last 3 months, but everyone just assumes its a stupid idea.

While I can see why you'd think that, I honestly believe Vince is just a self-righteous egomaniac who believes everything that he does is cutting edge, scathing and hilarious.

I don't think there is any plan behind it at all, other than to prove to the world that he could have been a comedian if he wanted. Which he couldn't. God, I hate the WWE's lame-ass sense of humour sometimes.

It's like the dumb, obnoxious kid, who yells out in class using sarcasm, ironically showing his own ignorance.

Nah i dont think so. Its one thing to have really bad idea's that he might think are great, come across so horribly to the fans.

Its another to have really bad idea's and on top of that, put together such a horrible show. The timing, the matches, the writing, the lack of all of it basically. It feels sabatoged. Even when WWE was having the occasional boring show ( 2-3 years ago ) it was still passable as a WWE product. You still got the sense that WWE knew what they were doing and it was obvious there was a story being told or a match/fued being set up. Now they just dont even bother. Its like they've turned there back on the product in hopes that it comes out horrible. Sad really, but atleast they release some good dvd's.:y:

[Blitz]

Good fucking God, the whole Trump/Rosie thing was an abomination.

Seriously, fuck Vince McMahon. I hope Rosie O'Donnell sues for slander or libel or whatever and bankrupts him.

Great Khali.....fuck it, why bother.

[Jeritron]

Anyone else think Edge's portion of Rated RKO's promo was the highlight of the night?
That promo just really seemed real, with everything that went on with the injury being real and rearranging plans. It was really entertaining and effective, I loved the solemn tone there was and how cruel and serious Edge sounded.
Edge remains the only reason I tune in mondays.

[owenbrown]

Damn, I must've picked the RIGHT time to stop watching wrestling, period.

[mark84j]

Last night's RAW made me feel embarrassed to be a wrestling fan.

[Xero]

Last night's RAW made me feel embarrassed to be a wrestling fan.
Well, they've got to balance out the Tribute to the Troops show.

[SammyG]

DAMN

[Crippla]

SammyG?

[Sadistic]

To all you people that said this Raw was terrible. Why is it that you're going to be here again next week?

If it was so bad, then don't watch it next week. I haven't watched WWE television in a long time. I'll watch the PPVs in hope of a good match. But anyone that is still watching Raw has problems.

[Blitz]

I hope you don't pay for those PPVs, else that makes you a bigger fool than anyone watching for free.

[Xero]

Does it count as "watching" if I fast forward through 3/4's of it?

[mrslackalack]

I call Carlito vs Masters next week. :lol:

[Blitz]

Yeah, think I might be done watching live. I'll read results and download if there's anything I wanna see.

[johnny nintendo]

You know what WWE needs to do to get ratings? Bring back the Repo Man
Repo Man=Ratings

[KingofOldSchool]

Fudgie The Whale is my hero.
