[NeanderCarl]

Khali.... :lol: he's gonna eat all the Divas. And why not?

[The Optimist]

Nice flowing straight into Khali's peice.

And. . .cue to Kane.

[Fignuts]

I really wish Megumi Kudo would come to wwe and beat the fuck out of these women with a flaming barbwire baseball bat.

[Skippord]

Khali Smash?

[Ninti the Mad]

KHALI SMASH TITTIES

[SammyG]

RAWWWWR CHOP HER

[Fignuts]

or great khali.

either way.

[ClockShot]

RAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAR!

[KingofOldSchool]

BBBBWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

[NeanderCarl]

For those who missed it, Khali said "whaaaaaaaa". Which may well become the new "wooooooo!"

[Ninti the Mad]

HAHAHAHAH FUCK ASHLEY UP

[Loose Cannon]

Kane did Khali's gimmick so much better

[SammyG]

ok wheres Kane.. its coming.. prolly.

[KingofOldSchool]

JERRY SUICIDE LAWLER

[Ninti the Mad]

ROFL THE KING IS GONNA GET OWNED

[ClockShot]

Bye King.

[Skippord]

KING NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[NeanderCarl]

Lawler needs to stop acting like a face.

[KingofOldSchool]

BBBBBBWWWWWAARRRGGGHHH

[SammyG]

RAWWWWWWWWR TAKE THAT KING. No Chop :(

[Fignuts]

Fuck yeah, khali. Kill that geriatric retard.

[NeanderCarl]

See, one minute WWE wants to convince you that Lawler is Hall of Fame worthy, the next they treat him like a total jobber that got knocked unconscious by one crappy chokeslam-like move.

[SammyG]

lmfao, goes to the top of the entrance Ramp, AAAARRGHHHHHHHH

[M-A-G]

Back to the match which is already in progress. You know if Melina was a woman of her word she wouldn't have bothered with this match. Were the efforts of Molly and Ivory for nothing? Melina's got no bottoms, Candice has no top. I've seen fights like this in high school. More catfight goodness. Melina knocks out Candice and removes the bottoms for the win and revealing some sort of splotch on Candice's thigh. It might be a bruise that needs massaging. Ashley comes out and makes my friend's day by taking off Melina's top. Match rati.....WOAH, hold up a sec, THE GREAT KHALI! Melina jumps Ashley from behind and beats the crap out of her. Khali is looking rather.....Khali-ish. Khali could rape a chick anytime he wants when you think about it. He chokes Ashley for a while as The King tries to make a save. Double handed chokeslam that looked REALLY ugly takes care of that threat. I want to give a match rating but they seem to meld with the segments so I don't know what to do here other than KHALI IJDFIEJIFD DOJ(D((@#*(JE BLHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

JR is speechless!

[NeanderCarl]

Notice Jim Ross called him "my Hall Of Fame partner". This could imply that Jim Ross is going in the Hall Of Fame and he let slip by accident. It could also simply mean that Lawler is his partner and also a Hall Of Famer.

Or he could mean "partner", as in "lover", which puts the Raw commentary team in a whole new light.

[Fignuts]

Seriously, their hasnt been anyone with the presence of Khali since Andre. I love it.

[NeanderCarl]

What is with all the Khali love? A fucking annoying internet meme, that is all. The guy has no positive attributes to my eye.

[SammyG]

lol John Salley. K-FED!

[ClockShot]

AH! K-FED!

[Fignuts]

omg i would tax the fuck out of jewel.

[SammyG]

Jeff Hardy is methed out.

[NeanderCarl]

Why is Jeff Hardy hurt?

[M-A-G]

I wouldn't exactly go for hair advice from Kevin Federline or his ex if you catch my drift.

[ClockShot]

Will today be the rebound of Jeff Hardy's slump?

Stay tuned.......

[The Optimist]

What is with all the Khali love? A fucking annoying internet meme, that is all. The guy has no positive attributes to my eye.
Speak the truth, brother.

[SammyG]

FRUITY FRUITY DELICIOUS OH BY GOLLY THEY'RE FRUITY

[NeanderCarl]

Fuck off, Hardy is supposed to still be hurting a week later? Bollocks. If he was still hurt now, there'd be something very wrong and he wouldn't be competing at all.

By golly, they're fruity.

[SammyG]

I love the Orton/Edge feud. very well done.

[The Optimist]

Man. . .I hope to god Jeff pulls an upset here.

[NeanderCarl]

Notice they usually do the Skittles plug right before a Jeff 'Taste The Rainbow' Hardy match?

[Ninti the Mad]

Khali is the man.

[Maluco]

What is with all the Khali love? A fucking annoying internet meme, that is all. The guy has no positive attributes to my eye.


He is rubbish as an actor, and as a wrestler, but the presence thing is true. When he comes out, everything and everybody just stops and stares. Just don't know if he is even good enough to be used in anyway, his actions and expressions are terrible....he is good on the mic though.

[NeanderCarl]

Khali is the man.

:nono: You've either got your tongue planted firmly in your cheek, or you've been at the Kool Aid.

[SammyG]

nice Whisper in the wind. lmfao jr

[SammyG]

I would love a swantop off the ladder.

[ClockShot]

I guess Hardy is back on track. Wait a moment.....

[SammyG]

Holy Shit!!!! That was fucking nice.

[M-A-G]

Jeff Hardy vs. Randy Orton: Jeff sells the back a la Sable. Although knowing him he might not be faking. JR REALLY pushes the Skittles in hilarious fashion. Lock up goes to a stalemate in the corner. Jeff takes over with Orton's arm. Orton escapes and tries a charge. Jeff armdrags Orton to regain control. Orton gets his stretch backbreaker out of an Irish whip reversal. Orton stomps the back a while and gets a 2. Orton goes for the Walls of St. Louis. Ahh, Jericho....you are forever missed. Jeff grabs the ropes for the break. Slugfest, Jeff takes down Orton with a Flashback. Mule kick gets two for Jeff. Whisper in the Wind from Jeff. JR thinks he got it wrong and 'corrects' himself by saying Twist of Fate. Edge comes out and takes out a ladder. Orton grabs the ladder and whacks Jeff for the DQ. Orton wants Edge but Jeff is all "Remember me?" and gives Orton the REAL Twist of Fate. Jeff delivers a leg drop from the ladder for fun. Match rating: 1/2*

[Skippord]

ALL HAIL KING KHALI

[Savio]

I'm right behind jarret in this pic.

[NeanderCarl]

What's this pulsating Glass Shatters song? Is that going to be in the movie? Or worse, is it going to be Austin's new theme tune?

[M-A-G]

OMFG! ENOUGH OF THIS BODY WASH CRAP! IT'S SOAP!!! SOAP!!!!!!! SAY IT, DAMMIT!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!!

[SammyG]

I really like this year's Wrestlemania theme.

[Savio]

Lucky ones died first? The guy was burned to death thats not lucky.

[M-A-G]

Your official theme song is "Ladies and Gentlemen" by Saliva. Meh. It's sneak peek time for yet another WWE cinematic epic. Although I must admit I did enjoy "The Marine". Explosions are fun.

[NeanderCarl]

This isn't an "exclusive first look", this is the same trailer that was on WWE.com a few weeks ago.

[ClockShot]

THE GAME! TRIPLE H!

[SammyG]

you know but you actin' like you dooon't know. Great song playing in the background.

[Jura]

Would be funny to see "The Condemned" starring all wrestlers.

[NeanderCarl]

Okay, it's a little bit different. Not much though.

[NeanderCarl]

WWE did a masterful job of building up last year's Women's title match at WrestleMania. Trish Stratus vs Mickie James was the first women's match I actually gave a shit about in years. This year... not so good.

[SammyG]

lol what? Did he just say he switched to AT&T? What about Cingular?

[Savio]

I think its worth a watch. Austin was good in Longest Yard....not as good as Nash though he was hilarious.

[SammyG]

Lashley 1 on 1 next week with Vince.. wtf.

[NeanderCarl]

Okay.... Vince turned down a match with Trump because his doctor told him never to wrestle again. Now, he's facing Bobby Lashley one on one, BEFORE WrestleMania??

[KingofOldSchool]

Lashley 1 on 1 next week with Vince.. wtf.

MOTY

[The Genius]

i cant wait for Reymon to shoot on the Condemned,

[M-A-G]

WrestleMania Card:
Umaga vs. Lashley: Hair vs. Hair w/ Austin
Money in the Bank: Edge, CM Punk, Ken Kennedy, Randy Orton, Booker T, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Finlay
Melina vs. Ashley for the Women's Title
Kane vs. Khali
Batista vs. The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Title
John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels for the WWE Title

This really doesn't look that impressive to be honest.

Vince is on the phone in the back talking to someone about bombshells. Vince wants Bobby Lashley in a match. Coach has reservations. He's not as stupid as he looks. Vince has the power of the grapefruits though and guarantees victory.

[ClockShot]

HBK at ringside. Could this be the day......

[SammyG]

um. what the fuck HBK? he looks like a moron with his Brown tee shirt tucked in under his DX pants. wtf.

[NeanderCarl]

No Hall of Fame announcement tonight?

[M-A-G]

The Da Vinci Code is in theaters now?!?!?! WTF?

[ClockShot]

The DaVinci Code game. That's out of the blue.

[Fignuts]

That davinci code game came out with the movie. Why are there still fucking ads for it?

[SammyG]

Eugene, stop crying you fucking retard.

[KingofOldSchool]

Eugene kinda looks like Kevin Sullivan now.

[M-A-G]

Eugene looks like a thinner Tank Abbott with no hair.

[Skippord]

TANK ABBOT

[KingofOldSchool]

PUT CENA IN THE FUCKING CROSSFACE

[SammyG]

Let's go Cena

[KingofOldSchool]

Let's go Benoit

[SammyG]

Cena/HBK is going to be very good.

[Skippord]

Benoit has some sick pants

[ClockShot]

Come on Benoit. You got this.

[SammyG]

haha Michaels is pretty funny on commentary.

[ClockShot]

SHARPSHOOTER!

[KingofOldSchool]

TAAAPPPP

[NeanderCarl]

Benoit ain't winning this. Not a hope.

[NeanderCarl]

No HOF? Or did I miss it?

[ClockShot]

Here we go.

[SammyG]

What the fuck JR? He called the 3 german suplexes the 3 amigos. what the fuck.

[NeanderCarl]

That's not the Three Amigos.

[KingofOldSchool]

Benoit ain't winning this. Not a hope.

But it's good to have dreams.

[NeanderCarl]

Benoit sporting pink and black. That's original. A Canadian wearing pink and black.

[SammyG]

YOU CANT SEE ME!

[ClockShot]

GET UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SammyG]

STFU

[KingofOldSchool]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCCCCK

[ClockShot]

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

[KingofOldSchool]

FUCK

[SammyG]

Cena wins. Benoit taps.

[NeanderCarl]

Fuck off. They booked it to make it look like Cena outwrestled Benoit. Fuck right off.

[ClockShot]

GOD DAMNIT!

[KingofOldSchool]

MOTHERFUCKER

[Savio]

fuckin BS

[Splaya]

So Benoit just tapped to Cena


HBK's reaction was priceless

[ClockShot]

FUCK!

[Skippord]

FUCK THAT

[Splaya]

[SammyG]

OOOHH SHIT !!


HAHAHAHAHHAA

[Splaya]

Fuck i JUST GOT SO EXCITED

[Skippord]

I hate wrestling

[ClockShot]

KILL HIM HBK!

[Skippord]

How incredibly worthless

[SammyG]

Cena/Michaels vs Taker/Batista again? what the fuck? well, this time I guess Cena and HBK are gonna go at it. *Gong* End show.

[KingofOldSchool]

WTF

[KingofOldSchool]

GAY ENDING

[M-A-G]

John Cena vs. Chris Benoit: HBK is ringside for 'commentary'. They should've gotten Marty Jannetty for this. POPS FOR THE CHAMP! I love you people! Lock up takes the two around the ring. Slugfest in the corner. Benoit beats Cena out of the ring and they brawl on the outside. Cena meets the table. Cena almost hits Shawn with a clothesline but Benoit takes back control and gets a two back inside. Back drop from Benoit leads to an elbow for two. Benoit chops away like he's getting an orgasm each time. He meets feet off of a charge and Cena slugs away. Cena meets feet also and gets taken down with a leg screw leg whip. Sharpshooter on Cena. He almost makes the ropes but Benoit draps him back to the center of the ring. Cena tries crawling again to the rope and makes it. More slugging but Benoit UNLOADS THE GERMANS. Slit that throat, BIYATCH!!! Benoit goes up but misses the headbutt. Shoulder block from Cena into a Protobomb. BENOIT CAN'T SEE HIM!!! Five Knuckle Shuffle connects. Benoit tries to counter the FU with the Crossface but Cena locks in the STF and Benoit taps. Wow, that's not going to piss off people. HBK sneaks in and looks to deliver Sweet Chin Music....or is he??? CONFLICT! Handshake offer from HBK and Cena looks to accept but he picks HBK up for the FU.....or will he??? This brings out JBL. He confirms Vince vs. Lashley next week...AND CENA & HBK VS. BATISTA & UNDERTAKER!!!!! *GONG* and we go off the air! Match rating: *

[ClockShot]

Time is running out. Next week is it.

[KingofOldSchool]

That reeked of Kanyon level of homosexuality.

[Splaya]

God Everyone wanted Cena to do it.


QUIT TEASING

[ClockShot]

Have a good night everyone.

[NeanderCarl]

Oh, well. Quite a deflating Raw. No HOF either.

Laters.

[Skippord]

God Everyone wanted Cena to do it.


QUIT TEASING
Actually I wanted for whoever booked that to be shot in the head

[McLegend]

This Cena/HBK is the best build to a Mania event since WM XX.

[McLegend]

Whic yes I know is only like 3 years ago.

[M-A-G]

The shows have all just become about plugging WrestleMania and while it makes for some interesting TV it leaves a lot to be desired from a wrestling standpoint. The main events for next week are all about angle advancement anyway so I'm not looking forward to those that much. Hopefully we'll get some more interesting matches added to the card so that we don't end up with another WrestleMania 21 where they struggle to fill four hours with a bunch of crap. Until next week....maybe.

[Jeritron]

Tbh, I liked Raw.

I mean, I don't like Cena making Benoit tap in any scenario, but you have to realize Benoit's the US champion and Cena's the WWE champ heading into a main event at Wrestlemania.
They need to make him look really strong and beating Benoit who's currently an upper midcarder former champion is a good way to do it.

Doesn't mean we have to like it, but you should understand it.
Some garabage. Some good things.
As it has been for the past few weeks, I actually enjoyed Raw.

[KingofOldSchool]

This Cena/HBK is the best build to a Mania event since WM XX.

Triple H/Batista had a great build.

[McLegend]

Triple H/Batista had a great build.
O yeah I forgot about that one actually, and it was tremendous.

I still think I like the build to this one more though.

I probably will be in minority in this, but that's fine.

[Skippord]

This Cena/HBK is the best build to a Mania event since WM XX.
You sir are clearly forgeting the greatness of the

Randy Orton/Rey Mysterio/Kurt Angle build

:shifty:

[Jura]

Good night folks.

[PullMyFinger]

Worst buildup of Wrestlemania of all time.

Both Smackdown and Raw champions are faces going in, and their opponents are faces for the time being right now.

I miss the days of the face hunting the heel, or even the reverse of it.

[Corkscrewed]

So, to those who watched, did Cena have a look of "Even I think this is a bit overboard" when he made Benoit tap out? Cuz I'd be a little embarrassed if I was booked that way. :lol:

BTW, you think they'll use next week's NWO rematch as the trigger for Cena or HBK to finally turn? Since, ya know, Batista "turned" on Taker at NWO. They'd prolly do that sort of mirror shit here.

[SammyG]

Yeah. Definitely. Cena HBK are going at it next week. I really thought Cena was gonna FU him. But it was great when he just let him go.

[Destor]

Worst buildup of Wrestlemania of all time.

I miss the days of the face hunting the heel, or even the reverse of it.Batista is heel.

LOL @ everyone who was saying that the MitB Battle Royal had not purpose. You all have no idea what a story arc is I would have to assume. Use your heads folks.

Not a bad RAW btw. While I didn't enjoy Benoit tapping I do have to echo Jerry's setiments on it being the right booking descision.

[311]

For those who missed it, Khali said "whaaaaaaaa". Which may well become the new "wooooooo!"

:y:

[Johnny Vegas]

LMAO @ the tank abbot reference

But i didn't have that much of a problem with Cena making Benoit tap. It made Cena look like he's on his toes and ready for HBK at WM.

Khali is going to be a face for all the wrong reasons because of you guys lol
