The road to WrestleMania takes another turn when Raw rolls into Phoenix on Monday night.

Last week, Donald Trump chose ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley as his representative for WrestleMania 23. Lashley will face Mr. McMahon’s representative, Intercontinental Champion Umaga. Moments after the announcement was made, the two champions locked up in the ring, sparking a vicious brawl that was nearly uncontainable. With WrestleMania still a month away, will these two powerful Superstars clash again before they reach Detroit?

Mr. McMahon also announced on SmackDown that on Raw, the WWE Board of Directors will name a special guest referee for the Battle of the Billionaires at WrestleMania. Who will the Board choose to put in the middle of Lashley and Umaga on April 1?

Last week, World Tag Team Champions John Cena & Shawn Michaels defeated Rated-RKO to retain the titles. Monday night, the two teams will be in one-on-one action against each other, as WWE Champion Cena will face Edge and Michaels will square off with Randy Orton. In fact, HBK vs. the Legend Killer will kick off Raw right at 9/8 CT. Will the World Tag Team Champions continue their mastery of Edge & Orton, or will Rated-RKO individually one-up The Champ & HBK?

It was also revealed last week that Mickie James’ contract guarantees her a Women’s Championship rematch against Melina and allows her to choose the stipulation. Mickie has chosen a Falls Count Anywhere Match, and will face Melina for the gold Monday night. Will she be able to recapture the title?

Find out live Monday night at 9/8 CT on the USA Network.

[Xero]

Wow, just realized it's like Wayne Brady vs. that fat kid from Mighty Ducks.

[Rocky B]

Little early but I should be here tonight.

[Xero]

Who R U?

[Rocky B]

Rocky Balboa of course.

[Xero]

Oh, I thought you were The Rock of SmackDown!...

[St. Jimmy]

I made this early because I'm watching TV with someone in the other room. Be back by Raw.

[KingofOldSchool]

I made this early because I'm watching TV with someone in the other room. Be back by Raw.

And you didn't want to have your thunder stolen.

[ClockShot]

I'll be here on and off, Black Donnelleys is on tonight also.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Mickie James beats Melina with some woman-beating help from Johnny Nitro and maybe Joey Mercury. :drool:

Shawn Michaels vs. Randy Orton, John Cena vs. Edge and the segment where they announce Stone Cold should be pretty good segments. Could be a pretty watchable show, overall. :y:

[KingofOldSchool]

There's a better chance of Ron Artest staying out of jail than Mickie James winning tonight.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I hope either Umaga or Bobby Lashley drops their Title before WrestleMania. In a perfect world, they'd both lose and WrestleMania would have title matches elsewhere.

[KingofOldSchool]

I hope either Umaga or Bobby Lashley drops their Title before WrestleMania. In a perfect world, they'd both lose and WrestleMania would have title matches elsewhere.

Perfect died with Curt Hennig.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Perfect died with Curt Hennig.

Hmm, I'm trying to think, but I don't think truer words have ever been spoken on these forums.

[KingofOldSchool]

Hmm, I'm trying to think, but I don't think truer words have ever been spoken on these forums.

It's DAMN true.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Oh, it's REAL!

[KingofOldSchool]

Spoiler question in black.

How many Stunners do you think Austin will dish out tonight?

[Rocky B]

Spoiler answer in black.1 possibly 2

[Mr. Nerfect]

It's DAMN real!

My guess, if the segment goes according to my picture of it, 1, but it wouldn't surprise me if they Popeye'd half the roster out there for Austin.

[Rocky B]

WHAT THE FUCK?

Thank you for ruining Austins return, thank you for ruining what would have been my only mark out moment in a year.

WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU TYPE "SPOILERS" WHEN YOU TYPE WHAT THE SPOILER IS RIGHT BESIDE IT!!!!!!!!!

Now I know Austin is confirmed, he is my favourite wrestler, hearing his damn music hit would have made me mark out so bad, but no, you have to fucking ruin it, couldn't you make the title "Wrestlmania 22 major spoilers" alone? Seriously man, use your goddam brain. Why mark for spoilers when the spoiler is right beside where you mark for spoilers.

Fuck this shit, you're not the only one who does it, so many people do, i am out of the fucking wrestling forum besides for tipsters until Wrestlemania is over, see you all April fourth. [/Xero Limit 126]

[NeanderCarl]

Evening, all.

[St. Jimmy]

And you didn't want to have your thunder stolen.

Am I going to lie and say no? Nope. Gonna steal someone else's thunder.

*Cheap Post*

[NeanderCarl]

Tonight's double shot main event would be good if we hadn't seen these matches a thousand times before, especially Cena vs Edge. Even if they had done it the other way round (HBK vs Edge, Cena vs Orton) it would be slightly fresher.

[Caged Heat18]

Good evening, fellas.

[St. Jimmy]

Swerve us all and have the Ref be Rocky. <3

[Ninti the Mad]

I bet the referee will be Steve Austin.

I'm not sure though. I give it a 2% possibility.

[NeanderCarl]

Sense a swerve? Cena heel turn?

[St. Jimmy]

WHY DID THE BROADCAST JUST CUT INTO A PROGRESSIVE COMMERICAL?!

[ClockShot]

God. I hope tonight is the night HBK kicks Cena's god damn head off tonight.

Evening everyone.

[SammyG]

WTF. It just randomly went into a commecial.

[SammyG]

Back to Michaels entering the ring. wtf.

[6to1]

yea what hapened

[Rocky B]

Here we go.

[Ninti the Mad]

I love Lillian. I am soooo used to her already.

[Caged Heat18]

Glad to see we're off to a good start.

[KingofOldSchool]

WHY IS EDGE WITH ORTON????

[St. Jimmy]

This has potential.

[Rocky B]

This could be good.

[NeanderCarl]

I hope either Umaga or Bobby Lashley drops their Title before WrestleMania. In a perfect world, they'd both lose and WrestleMania would have title matches elsewhere.

Most likely scenario, IF one of them is going to lose the belt, would be for Umaga to cost Lashley the belt.

[Rocky B]

Lashley won't lose the belt.

[NeanderCarl]

I'm not a fan of long opening matches. Even if it's a great match, a long segment (esp if it is interrupted by an ad break) sets a slow pace for the rest of the show.

[Ninti the Mad]

ouch

bad drop for hbk

[NeanderCarl]

Kind of irrelevant to Raw, but is this ECW Originals vs New Breed feud going to translate into a match at WM23 or what? Or is ECW's only representation going to be in cross brand matches?

[Rocky B]

I don't think there will be enough room on the card tbh.

[SammyG]

WALLS OF JERICHO

[6to1]

so sign dude works for the wwe now ok.

[NeanderCarl]

Also, reckon we're going to see Ric Flair vs Carlito at Mania? Coz that's the direction they seem to be going, but it doesn't seem like a WrestleMania calibre match to me. But then it's the only thing Flair has on the go right now, and surely they wouldn't leave Flair off the Mania card?

[ClockShot]

Damn sign guy. What he end up taking home from deal or no deal?

[KingofOldSchool]

Kind of irrelevant to Raw, but is this ECW Originals vs New Breed feud going to translate into a match at WM23 or what? Or is ECW's only representation going to be in cross brand matches?

I think it'll be on the card...

HBK vs. Cena
Taker vs. Tista
MITB
Umaga vs. Lashley
Kane vs. Khali
Ashley vs. Melina
New Breed vs. Originals

That's 7 matches, they usually have around 10.

[Ninti the Mad]

Any guesses on who Khali will crush this week?

Cade and Murdoch maybe?

Or think he will try and call out Kane?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Seeing as this is the opening match, I think Randy Orton will go over, just to build momentum for when he enters MITB, and so people hang around asking "Is HBK going to Cena back for not being there?"

We'll see what happens.

And no, Lashley will not lose the belt, and I will be sad because of it. :(

[ClockShot]

This Phoenix crowd is hot tonight.

[SammyG]

I'm looking forward to marking out later.

[NeanderCarl]

I don't think there will be enough room on the card tbh.

Well, it's a four hour PPV. So far, they have announced four matches (HBK vs Cena, Taker vs Batista, Umaga vs Lashley, Money In The Bank). So plenty of room on the card at the moment.

I would assume Ashley vs Melina, Flair vs Carlito and Originals vs New Breed are in the works.

[NeanderCarl]

Oh yeah.... Kane vs Khali. Meh.

[Rocky B]

I don't think they'll include it though.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think it'll be on the card...

HBK vs. Cena
Taker vs. Tista
MITB
Umaga vs. Lashley
Kane vs. Khali
Ashley vs. Melina
New Breed vs. Originals

That's 7 matches, they usually have around 10.

Chris Benoit vs. MVP, Carlito vs. Ric Flair and London & Kendrick vs. MNM would be my additions. If they juice it up to 11 or 12, throw in a Cruiserweight Title Match between Chavo Guerrero and Jimmy Wang Yang (maybe make it a Triple Threat with Gregory Helms) and a World Tag Team Championship Match.

The World's Greatest Tag Team vs. Ric Flair & Carlito for the World Tag Team Championship would actually be a pretty sweet WrestleMania match. Have Carlito turn on Flair there.

[Rocky B]

If that's the card that KoOS posted then I'm not ordering.

[SammyG]

Break up of RKO?

[ClockShot]

That was a lame ending.

Ooooooooooooooooooooh. A chair.

[SammyG]

Kick his ass Cena.

[KingofOldSchool]

If that's the card that KoOS posted then I'm not ordering.

That's not all of the matches and I'm sure you could tell the lineup from a mile away.

[Mr. Nerfect]

What happened? We in Australia do not get it tomorrow, so we only have text-based sources for our information.

[Rocky B]

I think they're gonna turn Michaels heel for some reason.

[NeanderCarl]

Looking at the WM card on paper like that, it looks shit so far. The main events are about the best they have to offer right now, but everthing else is lacklustre.

Suppose we'll get Benoit vs MVP as well. Another big fat so what?

They need a BIG match added somehow. Love them or hate them, Hulk Hogan vs Mick Foley would certainly be an attraction if they added it. WWE should go all out to cut a deal with those two guys to get them on the card.

[ClockShot]

Is it just me, or does Orton got some new ink on his right forearm?

[Rocky B]

That's not all of the matches and I'm sure you could tell the lineup from a mile away.
Yeah I know, it just doesn't seem like a standard WM card to me.

[Ninti the Mad]

It was a good ending. It didnt make Orton lose credibility as he was distracted and he got the better of Shawn after the match without Edge. All Edge did was what... toss in a chair?

[SammyG]

lmfao, am I the only one who thinks these wrestlemania commercials are ridiculous?

[NeanderCarl]

I'm callng Rick Steamboat for the Hall of Fame tonight. (Or Jim Ross, but that's a bit obvious after Lawler was announced last week.)

[KingofOldSchool]

Nah, not Steamboat.

It'll be JR or The Wild Samoans.

[Rocky B]

Andy Kaufman would be logical too for a celebrity.

[ClockShot]

I'm callng Rick Steamboat for the Hall of Fame tonight. (Or Jim Ross, but that's a bit obvious after Lawler was announced last week.)

I'm still sticking to the my theory that legends from Smackdown vs. Raw 07 are going in.

On a side note, if Foley ain't gonna be at 'mania, why is still getting airtime for his book?

[NeanderCarl]

Notice Vince has started going back to the loud suits recently? He used to be know for his ridiculous attire and colour schemes back in the 70s and 80s. Lately, he's been getting a bit kookier again.

[SammyG]

SPOILERS: KHALI is being inducted into the HOF tonight.

[NeanderCarl]

On a side note, if Foley ain't gonna be at 'mania, why is still getting airtime for his book?

Because WWE are publishing it, therefore benefit financially if it sells well.

[SammyG]

FRUITY FRUITY BAH GAWD THEY ARE FRUITY!

[NeanderCarl]

Hmmm... could this be the Umaga title dropping that was mentioned earlier?

[SammyG]

Uh. UUUUUUUUUMMAAAGGAAAA Hardy again?

[ClockShot]

This should be quick.

[NeanderCarl]

Umaga looks like a fat drunken tart in leggings from the waist down.

[Ninti the Mad]

SPOILERS: KHALI is being inducted into the HOF tonight.


UJ*$UJH*D&YH$&DGHEYGD FUCKKKK YESSSS

[Rocky B]

I bet Umaga loses the belt tonight.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Notice Vince has started going back to the loud suits recently? He used to be know for his ridiculous attire and colour schemes back in the 70s and 80s. Lately, he's been getting a bit kookier again.

Maybe he's dying? You know, how a cockroach scurries around after you spray it? :|

Andy Kaufman should be announced for the celebrity wing of the Hall of Fame. I'd love to see Ricky Steamboat in, I really would. He wasn't on the rumoured list of names, though. The Wild Samoans aren't really that well known are they? They could be announced the same night as Kaufman, just so they have a big week to keep interest.

[NeanderCarl]

I would assume there is no way they would put Hardy over Umaga what with Umaga being so heavily featured at Mania.... unless SOMEBODY costs him the match.

[SammyG]

JEWWWWMAAGAAAA

[SammyG]

JR is pretty terrible TBH

[SammyG]

Umaga needs to start doing a bronco buster

[NeanderCarl]

Maybe he's dying? You know, how a cockroach scurries around after you spray it? :|

The Wild Samoans aren't really that well known are they? They could be announced the same night as Kaufman, just so they have a big week to keep interest.

Firstly, :lol: at the idea that Vince is dying. I don't know why.

Secondly, they seem to save the announcement of the lesser known names until the end. Last year, the Blackjacks and Verne Gagne were among the last announced (if memory serves me right) and I don't even remember William Refridgerator Perry being announced on TV at all, maybe just on WWE.com.

[Skippord]

Retarded

[Mr. Nerfect]

They should not hot-shot the belt back to Hardy. Not another WrestleMania where the IC Champ is in the MITB. Come on, at least give it to Flair or Carlito. Fuck, a surprise Val Venis or Eugene win would make more sense.

[Rocky B]

Wow, nevermind.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I take it Umaga won?

[Mr. Nerfect]

JR is pretty terrible TBH

Replace Jim Ross with MAX BRETOS~! He could be pretty horrible, but he's followed wrestling since childhood, and used to call soccer. He'd be quick on his feet and know the moves and going-ons. Bretos for play-by-play commentator for RAW!

[ClockShot]

He did.

[NeanderCarl]

Shows how much WWE thinks of Jeff Hardy. Here's a man who will never be considered seriously by the office for a main event level player. Okay, they need to keep Umaga strong for WM23, but he obliterated Hardy there. Hardy's got a WM match too, ya know!? Oh yeah, there is no McMahon involved.

I remember at the end of last year reading that JBL would be involved in a match at WM, wonder what happened to that.

[NeanderCarl]

MORE ads?? Jeez.

[Rocky B]

That was just about a squash match though. Terrible idea.

[ClockShot]

Virtua Fighter 5 is a really great game.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I was kind of hoping for a Gregory Helms vs. JBL match. That was back around Royal Rumble time, when Helms was the longest reigning Champion in SmackDown! history. Helms could have ended The Boogeyman's streak at the show where JBL lost in like two minutes. JBL would then slowly become bitter towards Helms on commentary all of a sudden, while Cole would warm up to him. Snap! JBL costs Helms the Cruiserweight Title, and a match between the two is set for WrestleMania.

That squash of Jeff Hardy was really brutal booking by the WWE. Jeff Hardy has no momentum heading into Money in the Bank, and Umaga really doesn't look that good from it. It just makes Hardy look back. If they wanted Jeff Hardy to bounce around for a bit, they should have had Matt come in for the save, and given Umaga the DQ win, but had The Hardys stand tall and then tease tension for WrestleMania.

Better yet, Umaga could have squashed someone like Eugene or Val Venis in the first place. Guys the WWE is fond of, but really isn't going to use for anyting but getting beaten.

[SammyG]

WOOOOOOO! also lol @ Marc Cuban talking about the match

[SammyG]

Please GOD let Carlito win this match.

[NeanderCarl]

Ah... interesting... I call a draw. There's no way Orton ain't getting that spot, surely??

[Mr. Nerfect]

The WWE must be pimping themselves out to sponsors because it's WrestleMania time, and they need advertising cash.

[ClockShot]

Carlito better win this. I don't think Flair got another MITB in him.

[Mr. Nerfect]

What's happening? Carlito vs. Flair for the final MITB slot? Carlito's getting it, and Orton is going to cost Edge his spot to someone.

[SammyG]

Was that a Cingular plug.

[NeanderCarl]

Well, where the fuck does that leave Orton for WrestleMania? If we get a decisive winner in this Carlito vs Flair match?

Orton vs Carlito?

[Caged Heat18]

Lol at Vince. "I'm swear I'm gonna switch to Cingular next week."

[What Would Kevin Do?]

What the fuck? Commercial, shot of Melina, short interview, short segment, another commercial? WTF?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Well, where the fuck does that leave Orton for WrestleMania? If we get a decisive winner in this Carlito vs Flair match?

Orton vs Carlito?

They could have Orton cost Edge his spot in the match somehow (I'm sure the Nickheads can think up something "brilliant"), and Edge and Orton will probably wrestle each other. That's the way it was meant to be.

Or they could do something like Randy Orton vs. Ric Flair, where if Orton wins, Flair has to retire. Or maybe Randy Orton will face THE ROCK!?! That one's a bit of a stretch.

[Rocky B]

I think Carlito will cheat to win. I think this whole fued will ultimately turn Carlito heel (hopefully).

[Mr. Nerfect]

Or the biggest surprise of the year: 10-MAN MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH!!!!!!!

Oh, it's real. It's DAMN real.

[ClockShot]

LMAO! HACKSAW! Come on. Bring out Khali.

[Mr. Nerfect]

What the fuck? Commercial, shot of Melina, short interview, short segment, another commercial? WTF?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the WWE is whoring themselves out to sponsors. Good business move, but I'd love to see ratings go down because of it, just because I find the 'E failing pretty entertaining.

[SammyG]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I am praying for KHALI here!

[SammyG]

LOL, why is Hacksaw leading the crowd to a USA chant? Masters is American too. CMON KHALI COME OUT.

[NeanderCarl]

I do think that Edge vs Orton would make more sense as a big singles match for Mania, than adding them to the MITB. Mind you, with 8 participants announced for what has always been a 6 man match, maybe they could break two away from the match anyway. It makes zero sense to not have Orton in the MITB, unless they can find a way of taking Edge out of the running.

I know they have never really referenced Edge's undefeated streak at Mania, but ending the unbeaten run would surely be of interest to a man who calls himself a "Legend Killer"?

[Mr. Nerfect]

What happened with Flair/Carlito?

[Caged Heat18]

He's HOOOOOOOOOOing up

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

Oh man, wouldn't it be hilarious if Hacksaw broke the Masterlock?

[Rocky B]

That was rather...pointless.

[SammyG]

lol @ Edge's little graphic thingy. He looks like such a queer. Special ref announced next.

[ClockShot]

I demand Stone Cold Steve Austin!

[Mr. Nerfect]

I do think that Edge vs Orton would make more sense as a big singles match for Mania, than adding them to the MITB.

Oh, definitely. I'm praying that they have Edge vs. Orton as well as an 8-Man Money in the Bank. Make Carlito and Shelton Benjamin the final two guys.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Commercial, pointless masterlock segment, commercial... WTF?

[Mr. Nerfect]

They're not even revealing the Special Guest Referee this week? Yeah, because Umaga squashing Jeff Hardy is just a stellar development in the the Battle of the Billionaires feud. :roll:

[What Would Kevin Do?]

WWE really is whoring itself out tonight. They're worse than MTV with these commercials.

[NeanderCarl]

I recently saw an interview segment between Rock and Orton from a few years back that REALLY made me want to see a match between the two. Which is saying something because I've never been much of an Orton fan. The backstory Rock spoke of (both are thrid generation superstars who have known each other since they were little kids... whether true or not, I don't know) and the reactions from Orton were priceless. That could have been a great one-on-one match.

[SammyG]

No chance in heeelll, yooou gooott

[SammyG]

wtf. NO AUDIO?!

[Rocky B]

They're not even revealing the Special Guest Referee this week? Yeah, because Umaga squashing Jeff Hardy is just a stellar development in the the Battle of the Billionaires feud. :roll:
I'm guessing they will at the end of the show. Anyway, I'll see you all later, I'm watching the rest of Raw without you but will be back after the show.

[St. Jimmy]

LOL, No Sound.

[SammyG]

There we go.

[ClockShot]

Speak up. I can't hear you.

[SammyG]

Michaels and Cena HAVE to fight tonight.

[NeanderCarl]

They have GOT to bring back Brutus Beefcake for a segment in the lead up to this match, even if it's just to gt squashed by Umaga.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Man, this RAW went from having potential to being pretty damn redundant so quickly it restores my faith in the creative team. Seriously, you have to be amazing writers to purposely craft such a pointless program. These guys are brilliant, I bet Donald Trump is secretly paying them under the table and at WrestleMania, he's going to come out, shoot on the WWE, and open his own wrestling promotion.

Trump's Global Wrestling Alliance. TGWA has a certain ring to it. They can even pronounce it "Tye-gwah!" as in "Tiger".

[Ninti the Mad]

lackluster Raw so far :/

[ClockShot]

SO ready to mark out right now.

[SammyG]

I am hoping the crowd starts chanting Austin

[SammyG]

OMG THE REF IS KHALI

[NeanderCarl]

Does nobody in this arena have the internet? Why are they trying to build the referee as mystery?

[SammyG]

LOL @ Billionaire BBBIIITCHHSSLLAAP

[SammyG]

BISHCOFF!?!? WHAT !?!?!??!

[Ninti the Mad]

whoo Bischoff

[NeanderCarl]

Mister Bischoff huh?

[SammyG]

THE BISCH!!!!!

[ClockShot]

HOLY SHIT! TALK ABOUT COMING FROM LEFT FIELD!!!

[KingofOldSchool]

THE BISCH

[NeanderCarl]

Bischoff as a FACE?

[SammyG]

I am waiting for the glass to break SO BADLY right now

[ClockShot]

BISCHOFF FOR GM!

[NeanderCarl]

Who really wants to see Bischoff as a face?

[Ninti the Mad]

Bischoff should manage Khali. :shifty:

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'd love to see a segment where Shawn Michaels takes John Cena to the barber, so they can get matching tag team partner hair cuts. Shawn Michaels then gives Cena the Sweet Chin Music. And waves to someone off-screen "Hey, Brutus!" then tosses Cena through the mirror, opening a hidden room filled with weapons, which HBK uses to beat the crap out of Cena.

[KingofOldSchool]

Bischoff for Babyface Raw GM

[SammyG]

FOLEY?!

[KingofOldSchool]

FOLEY

[Ninti the Mad]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[SammyG]

FOLEY IS WEARING A REF SHIRT.

[Jura]

lol craziness.

[NeanderCarl]

We know who it is, so stop with the teases, for fuck's sake. Bisch, Foley... who else are we gonna see before the REAL ref shows up.

[Caged Heat18]

This would be so much more exciting if I didn't already know who the referee was going to be.

[SammyG]

Mick looks good.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Eric Bischoff is the referee? FUCK YES!!!!!!! Donald Trump and Eric Bischoff should bring back WCW together, and have Mr. Kennedy do BDC's idea and win the ECW World Championship, throw it down, and declare himself WCW Champion! :love:

[Jura]

They are trying to throw the fans off of Austin's scent.

[SammyG]

Yeah, no way it's Foley

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol Mick Foley, even I was watching tonight to see if it was Stone Cold...oh well

[Mr. Nerfect]

Oh wait, they're just parading down candidates are they?

[ClockShot]

HOLY SHIT! TALK ABOUT COMING FROM LEFT FIELD!!!

Again.

[SammyG]

Foley has his job back? what?

[SammyG]

Hahaha, Foley is awesome.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It would have been more powerful if they had just had the glass shatter, and Stone Cold come out and Stunner Trump, McMahon, Lashley, Umaga, Estrada and Shane McMahon (who should be there expecting to be named). That would have been a glorious moment.

We're just having a past star clusterfuck now. Eric Bischoff should so be named General Manager of RAW, again. I miss his voice. Hell, even better, Max Bretos and Eric Bischoff for RAW commentators! :love:

[SammyG]

Haha, this is awesome. 3rd time is gonna be the charm. SHATTER THE FUCKING GLASS ALREADY

[ClockShot]

WHERE'S AUSTIN!!!!!!

[KingofOldSchool]

$50 says its Austin

[Skippord]

PATRICK EWING

[KingofOldSchool]

No, he's too small.

[NeanderCarl]

Shane now....

[Mr. Nerfect]

You better believe Mick Foley, Eric Bischoff and Armando Estrada are taking Stunners, to say the least.

[KingofOldSchool]

VINNIE MCDANCE

[ClockShot]

GO THE FUCK AWAY SHANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Mr. Nerfect]

Add Shane McMahon to the Stunner list.

[SammyG]

GRWIE0PGJERIGJEROGER

[Mr. Nerfect]

They should so have Dean Malenko come out and say "Vince, I really want to be the referee for this match" and have Vince just go "Um, who are you?"

[NeanderCarl]

Surprise!

[eazey]

fuckin awesome

[SammyG]

This is awesome. I loved the 3:16 chant too.

[Jura]

I don't like his current entrance music.

[KingofOldSchool]

JR died of a heart attack

[eazey]

I knew it was him and still I marked out

[Pepsi Man]

lmao @ the guest ref throw-offs.

[NeanderCarl]

Is this Austin's first appearance since that Beer Contest with JBL, about a year ago?

[SammyG]

SLAMMIN BEERS, YEAH . HERE COMES A STUNNER

[Mr. Nerfect]

What's Austin doing? Stunning McMahon, Coach, Estrada, Bischoff and Foley?

[SammyG]

No Stunners? :(

[ClockShot]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Like a breath of fresh air.

[KingofOldSchool]

No Stunners :(

[SammyG]

That was awesome, but still, I was expecting some stunners. Meh. All is good. Still marked out, even though I knew who it was gonna be. Guess we won't be seeing any more WHAT THE FUCK THANKS FOR RUINING AUSTIN'S RETURN posts :(

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol as soon as Mick Foley started listing off all that shit, I started to think it was gonna be Austin..then when Shane McMahon came out I knew it would

Got me at first though

[ChiefStubbs]

Damn, did I mark the fuck out. Woulda been better if I didn't know it was him, so I coulda marked out for Foley, too :(.

[Rocky B]

No stunners or mic time for Austin. :n:

[SammyG]

Vince's little Dance and singing along to Shane's music was priceless.

[SammyG]

Vince Mcmahon has the best facial expressions in the WWE

[KingofOldSchool]

DAMN

[SammyG]

...DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KingofOldSchool]

Please kill me

[SammyG]

*cums*

[Mr. Nerfect]

Mick Foley is back, though, isn't he? Think they're going to have him do something for WrestleMania? Something with the New Breed/Originals? I'd love to see him as either General Manager of RAW, or on SmackDown! for some reason.

[NeanderCarl]

What's this song Ashley has now?

[Skippord]

Bouncy

[SammyG]

I want to tax that. Lol @ Lawler reading Playboy. ROFL, she's got piercings ALL OVER THE PLACE!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Vince Mcmahon has the best facial expressions in the WWE

Hmm, I gotta give that honour to William Regal. The guy's facial expressions are greater than sex.

[NeanderCarl]

Mickie is super annoying.

[ClockShot]

Ashley is ring announcer. For the Women's title. Which will lead to her vs. Melina at Wrestlemania.

[KingofOldSchool]

Mickie's got a boo-boo on her shoulder, her and Kenny should stop with the rough sex.

[Jura]

What's this song Ashley has now?
Nuts In A Blender - Let Me Light A Fire In You

[SammyG]

Melina has such amazing titties.

[NeanderCarl]

Melina is super hot.

[Mr. Nerfect]

If Jerry Lawler turned heel, he would be a somewhat decent commentator, in my opinion.

[SammyG]

BAH GAWD THIS IS HARDCORE WOMEN'S WRESTLING RIGHT HERE FOLKS. How much would you mark out if KHALI chopped Melina right now?

[NeanderCarl]

McMahon, Bischoff, Foley, Austin, Ron Simmons, a Hardcore match.... is this 2007 or 1997?

[KingofOldSchool]

Of course Nitro will help Melina.

[SammyG]

rofl. this is a joke

[Ninti the Mad]

whooo victoria

[NeanderCarl]

Quality!

[SammyG]

OMFG WHAT?!!?!?!??!?!

[Jura]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL WTF

[ClockShot]

The hell is going on?

[SammyG]

What. The. Fuck. Was. That.

[NeanderCarl]

Hmmm fade to black...

[Ninti the Mad]

lol "cameraman fainted"

I was hoping for FCC cleavage

[eazey]

she was clothed

[Mr. Nerfect]

Melina is way hotter than Ashley. I hope the Detroit crowd realises this and turns on her at WrestleMania.

I want to see a segment on SmackDown! where Paul London & Brian Kendrick dress up as book critics and review Ashley's edition of Playboy, and then Mick Foley comes out and asks them to review the Hardcore Diaries. That would rule. The WWE is shit, so they won't do it.

[Rocky B]

What the fuck is with all of the damn commercials tonight?

[Ninti the Mad]

It's sad when the women look like they are fighting for real and the guys dont.


That's why I love Melina!

[Mr. Nerfect]

And what the fuck is going on? I hear comments asking something similar, so now I am intrigued.

[Skippord]

Dead Silence looks badass

[NeanderCarl]

she was clothed

no she wasn't. I just rewatched. Good ole Sky+/Tivo :y:

[SammyG]

That was the lamest shit ever.

[Mr. Nerfect]

What the fuck is with all of the damn commercials tonight?

*The Apprentice theme plays*

[SammyG]

This is why, this is why, this is why I'm hot.

[Skippord]

Ashley's way hotter than Melina

[SammyG]

LOL, this shit isnt over?

[KingofOldSchool]

I love the Mickie ass shots

[Ninti the Mad]

This is going to be match of the night.

[KingofOldSchool]

Mickie's way hotter than both of them

[Jura]

I call that the "Sexy-Plex"
