What if it's all a set up (Raw spoilers)

[FourFifty]

Okay, let's face it, Raw, as of late, has been bad. Like, really bad. Like, really fucking bad. Like, Rosie vs Donald Bad. I heard the loudest boring chants, VKM chants, and we all want to know why it was Carlito vs Masters last night. Many of us fear that HBK vs Edge and Orton is going to be crap. The Rumble is hardcore underhyped this year.... It's sad, really... But maybe....
What id this is all a set up? What if Vince is making the product this bad, just to get it back to normal a few weeks before Wrestlemania XXIII to help with buy rates? Here were are sitting with months of bullshit, and then they pull off something like Ricky Steamboat vs Ric Flair (not saying they should have that match, but something that awesome). They re-sign Jericho just in time to put him in a match at WrestleMania, fire The Miz, put Randy Savage in the hall of fame (just to hear what he has to say about Hogan when he gets inducted), re-sign The Dudley Boys, etc etc.
All of this crap is a set up so when Vince wants to boost ratings he can because if we sat through all this crap, we'll be trilled to sit through the same crap we had last year!!!!

Anyone with me on this theory.....

Shadow, you in on this?

[Xero]

Unfortunately, if it is, it's a pretty fucking stupid set up. They're driving away the casual fans in droves. If he was doing this he would be hurting the buyrate for Mania than helping it.

Of course, it's not a work. He's just finally fallen off his rocker, out the window and into the lake below.

[Londoner]

You do not begin to hype up the Rumble/mania with Donald Cunt V Rosie. That will not increase buyrates, whatever you do. there is always a point where you cross the line, and Vince has done that.

[FourFifty]

Oh, yea, don't believe my therory, but when Raw kicks ass next month because Kurt Angle comes back, Shadow and I will be laughing!

[Ninti the Mad]

You are delusional.

[Xero]

I still want Vince to wind up being the mastermind behind TNA, simply for the fact that it would be awesome to see the TNA marks' reaction.

Here's something to ponder (it's all a huge coincidence obviously, but...).

- In May of 2002, TNA was founded.
- That exact same month (May of 2002), the WWF was forced to change it's name to WWE.
- TNA's parent company is "Panda Energy", and the logo, seen here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:PandaEnergyInternationalLogo.JPG), is very similar to the WWF logo.
- The WWF once had a tag team by the name of "T&A".

I'm sure there are other things that "fall into place", but it is a bit freaky that these things happened as they did.

[TerranRich]

The acquisition of TNA by Panda Energy in 2002 initially provoked (mostly facetious) theorising among the Internet wrestling community that Panda Energy was an extension of World Wrestling Entertainment. The somewhat spurious basis for this claim was that World Wrestling Entertainment had been forced to rename after the World Wildlife Fund (a conservation organization with the initials "WWF" that uses the Giant Panda as its mascot) successfully forced the company to stop trading as the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It was postulated that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon might have chosen the name Panda Energy in order to mask his acquisition of TNA, thereby preserving the virtual monopoly WWE possessed in the wrestling industry between the bankruptcy of Extreme Championship Wrestling in April 2001 and the formation of TNA in May 2002. These theories were dismissed shortly thereafter when more information on Panda Energy became available.

That and Dixie Carter is actually Vince in drag.

Vince owns TNA, that would be awesome, TNA putting WWE out of its misery that would also be awesome, a TNA Invasion that would be... Well WWE would be done :lol:

You guys stop scaring me with all these theories.

[Arnold HamNegger]

Speaking of conspiracy theories....did you know that Ric Flair is actually Bea Arthur from "The Golden Girls." :shifty:

[RGWhat316]

I would like to think there is something going on, but I have no idea. I usually do try to remain positive and find things I like about the product, but last nights show had hardly any positives. I actually hope this is some masterplan and RAW will improve in the next month or so. But really, I can't explain why the show was as bad as it was last night. With the disappointment of Khali showing up on RAW to the Trump/Rosie fiasco, it was one of the worst nights in recent memory.

lol, not surprised that's there.

[Corkscrewed]

I thought you were gonna say HHH's injury is a setup and he's gonna come back next RAW and save HBK.

That'd be much more believable. ;)

[TerranRich]

But really, I can't explain why the show was as bad as it was last night.

Ooh, I can! The explanation is simple...

Vince really HAS lost his damn mind!!

[Kane Knight]

[Arnold HamNegger]

HHH's injury is a work. HBK will win the Rumble and face Cena for the title at Mania. HHH will be in HBK's corner on crutches to support him during the match, only to have HHH enter the ring and beat Shawn to near death with a crutch right as he's about to hit Sweet Chin Music on Cena.

As HHH is standing over a bloody HBK, he rips off his "Hunter Mask" to reveal that he is actually Bret Hart! Then he rips off his "Bret Hart Mask" to reveal that he is actually Earl Hebner!! Then he rips off his "Earl Hebner Mask" to reveal that he is actually God !!!

God grabs a mic and completes the greatest heel turn in WWE history: "Forgiveness my ass! There's no such thing as being 'reborn' bitch! If you're not down with that, I've got three words for ya....'COCAINE & SUNNY!' "

Cena will then FU God, put him in the STFU and make him tap...thus ending God's 100 Billion year undefeated streak.

:shifty:

[Volare]

that.......
















was the funniest shit i've read today!

That came to me in a dream

[Crippla]

Whatever you have to think to make yourself feel better about it...

[Skippord]

Wet dream

[Mr. Nerfect]

Why does it not surprise me? I'm willingly to bet that TNA is not owned by Vince McMahon, but Vince putting on drag and calling himself "Dixie"? I don't have that kind of fiscal security.

We all know God would pull a hamstring getting lifted into the F-U, and then use it as an excuse not to job. ;)

[FourFifty]

At least my theory gives me a glimmer of hope... It's true, and it's real.

Watch, next week Raw will kick so much ass that we'll be in another boom period in one week! It's all a plan, I tell you, Vince's plan! Make Raw Shit for weeks on end, and then he hypes it up!
.....I'm gonna watch my wrestling dvds now, since I didn't see anything good last night.... I take that back.


DAMN!
Yes, I did see something good last night.

[Ricky Steamboat]

Why I quite like this theory. ;)

No. I'll stick to my guns with my own conspiracy.

:shifty:

Then Cena rips off his mask to reveal that he's really Tupac who faked his death and pretended to be a fake white rapper, and K-fed comes out ready to beat him up, but stops just short of Cena-pac and the two give each other a big hug...then a big kiss...then K-fed pulls off his mask to reveal that he is really a broom.

The fake Trump and Rosie come out and pull off their masks to reveal that they are really the real Trump and Rosie, and they have a live sex celebration in the middle of the ring, while Dusty Rhodes comes out to reveal that he is in fact Vince Russo's long lost twin brother from another dimension, "Bizzaro Vince Russo", who is actually really good at booking, but he invented the Dusty Finish to hide his secret identity. Vince gets in on it too to reveal that he is really Shane, then reveals that he's really Steph, who reveals that she's really HHH, who reveals himself to be a second God, to which the audience becomes very very confused, but quickly becomes rectified when he again pulls off a mask to reveal that he's really a panda bear. King reveals that he is in fact, Ellen Degeneres, to nobody's suprise. JR reveals himself to be a bottle of horseraddish sauce, which is quite ironic, and Coach comes out to the middle of the ring and stands there.


Coach: "What..... I'm coach. I've always been Coach. *Boos erupt* Ok, ok...my real name is Barty Slartfast. You got me."

That explains so much. JR isn't Senile, it's just the improbability drive.

[El Fangel]

:lol:

[Jeritron]

Yeah Triple H's quad injury is probably a work....
And Eddie Guerrero and Owen Hart are scheduled to appear at Wrestlemania...
As well as the revelation that Survivor Series 97 was all a work.....

[Kane Knight]

I also suspect Khali is the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal. Ergo, Tazz and Kane are the only safe ones.
