24 hours after Backlash rocked Atlanta, Raw (http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/) rolls into Nashville, Tenn., to take the "Music City" by storm tonight.

Rated-RKO will explode tonight, as Edge (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/edge/) will meet former tag team partner Randy Orton (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/randyorton/) in singles action.
Both men were unable to unseat John Cena (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/johncena/) last night in the Fatal Four Way Match;
which man will prove to be the dominant member of the team tonight?

In that Fatal Four Way Match last night,
Cena successfully retained his WWE Championship (http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/wwechampionship/) against Edge, Orton and Shawn Michaels (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/shawnmichaels/).
Will someone new step up to challenge The Champ in Music City?

Also last night, WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon (http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/superstars/mrmcmahon/) shocked the world by pinning Bobby Lashley (http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/superstars/lashley/)
to become the new ECW (http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/) World Champion.
Following the match, Rob Van Dam (http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/superstars/rvd/) had some choice words about Mr. McMahon's victory
in a WWE.com exclusive video.

WWE.com learned late this afternoon that the Chairman was upset with RVD's words,
and as punishment, he has called the ECW Original to Raw to face the Samoan Bulldozer (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/umaga/), Umaga (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/umaga/).
Will RVD be able to survive the wrath of Umaga & Mr. McMahon?

Find out all this and more on Raw, tonight at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

[St. Jimmy]

So how many other pinfalls in WWE history have been done with just the man's neck?

[Better Than You]

This is the only RAW thread that matters.

[Better Than You]

ROFL YESSSSS :love:

[KingofOldSchool]

ROFL

"What's up holmes?!?!"

[KingofOldSchool]

THE KING OF EXTREME

[Kane Knight]

I'm morbidly curious.

[Skippord]

lol at Vince

[Better Than You]

SAY NO CENA~

[ClockShot]

YES VINCE!

HBK.....What happened?:?:

[Skippord]

Spoiler: Cena wll win, wins, and forever will win

[Better Than You]

lol @ this whole Vince deal.

[KingofOldSchool]

HBK wants to job in yet another title match.

[KingofOldSchool]

PEACE OUT MY BROTHAS

[Better Than You]

That was pretty good.

[St. Jimmy]

HBK and Cena is a pretty decent series, minus the mishaps in the WM match. Hopefully it ends with them in a decent stipulation match.

[St. Jimmy]

I hope Vince keeps the ECW title for atleast 3 months.

[Better Than You]

EDGE

[St. Jimmy]

Edge's entrance is very seizure able.

[KingofOldSchool]

HBK will beat Cena in yet another title match, but of course Cena will win the actually title match because we all want Cena as champ.

[Better Than You]

VS ORTON

[Mr. JL]

So, I'm from Canada and I got this stupid countdown to Raw clock? Is this happening everywhere or just for Canadians. Cuz I was gonna post in the thread but now that I'm 15 minutes behgind I'm gonna be spoiled.

[KingofOldSchool]

Here comes Hotel Wrecker Orton.

[St. Jimmy]

No pyro for Orton. lol.

[St. Jimmy]

Edge needs to cut some weight.

[KingofOldSchool]

No pyro for Orton. lol.

Orton trashed that too.

I think it's laying somewhere next to the shower curtains.

[St. Jimmy]

Orton trashed that too.

I think it's laying somewhere next to the shower curtains.

His golden showers are quite ironic, yes.

[KingofOldSchool]

His golden showers are quite ironic, yes.

Too bad his pyro isn't brown and chunky. :shifty:

[St. Jimmy]

An Orton chant? lol.

[Skippord]

Randy "The Reqer" Orton

[KingofOldSchool]

An Orton chant? lol.

Well they kind've been playing Orton as a face during this Rated RKO riff.

[KingofOldSchool]

Sick bump.

[Skippord]

That was awesome

[Skippord]

lol why is Orton the face

[Kane Knight]

An Orton chant? lol.

I thought they were chanting "Eddie, Eddie."

[KingofOldSchool]

lol why is Orton the face

Because Edge is better and they need all of the good heels they can get.

[St. Jimmy]

GREAT Dropkick.

[St. Jimmy]

Orton is wrestling a good match tonight. I'm impressed.

[Better Than You]

Good false finish

[KingofOldSchool]

This has been a good match so far.

[Kane Knight]

lol why is Orton the face

They sold the first 3 rows to the Hardy family.

[St. Jimmy]

Did Randy blade, or was that a clean bust?

[Better Than You]

Love the juice

[KingofOldSchool]

Ohhhhhh nice blade job.

[St. Jimmy]

That was a pretty amazing blade job.

[KingofOldSchool]

Well it's hard to tell, but I think it might've been hardway juice.

[St. Jimmy]

Leap Frog, oh shit.

[St. Jimmy]

Nice Spear.

[Better Than You]

Solid, way to kick off the show.

[Skippord]

I love Edge

just sayin'

[KingofOldSchool]

Looked like Orton was fighting for his job.

[Better Than You]

Well it's hard to tell, but I think it might've been hardway juice.The cut looked high, I'd lean toward the hard way, but hey who knows...

[Better Than You]

Looked like Orton was fighting for his job.Damn, forgot about all the drama. Yeah, he bladed.

[St. Jimmy]

Cena finally jobbed, CLEANLY. Wow.

[ClockShot]

Wow. Good finish.

[Better Than You]

Cena finally jobbed, CLEANLY. Wow.Wait? What? Last week you mean?

[KingofOldSchool]

$50 says that Santino gets no heat.

[Better Than You]

Probably not, but I'm a HUGE fan of the guy, so I hope for the best.

[KingofOldSchool]

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT REAL!







IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!

[Corndad]

Evening Fellas. What have I missed? Anything?

[Kane Knight]

Morella got a bigger pop than DX!!!!!!

[lort]

Edge/Orton was really good. Good start.

[The Genius]

wow santino morelli is annoying.

[ClockShot]

Good match between orton/edge.

HBK vs. Cena round 3 is tonight.

[Better Than You]

I think they're building him to be the mini-Samartino.

[Skippord]

ITALIAN STEREOTYPE MAN

[Better Than You]

Cool

[Corndad]

RVD!

[Better Than You]

RVD match

[Better Than You]

lol "i love you dad"

[KingofOldSchool]

Shane vs. Vince for the ECW Title

[ClockShot]

Yeah so, how did The Condemned do at the box office?

[Corndad]

CM Punk is a lucky guy.

[Kane Knight]

ITALIAN STEREOTYPE MAN

I was actually thinking how similar his demeanor seemed to be to "foreign Man."

[Kane Knight]

Yeah so, how did The Condemned do at the box office?

I can't wait to hear JR spin that...If it's even mentioned.

Funny seeing all those condemned "posters" in the background.

[Kane Knight]

I don't like it when Murdoch sounds stable.

I also don't like hearing" Cade & Murdoch" every 3 seconds. I kinda wish they had a tag name. You know, like "Deliverance," or something. ;)

[ClockShot]

I can't wait to hear JR spin that...If it's even mentioned.

Funny seeing all those condemned "posters" in the background.

If it's not a movie, it's either PPV posters or magazine posters.

Reason I asked is because pretty much nobody here in the states went to the movies. Disturbia took the top spot again pulling in 9 mil. and change.

[Kane Knight]

Condemned pulled #9. I thought you were being facetious, because it's looking like it's gonna fail.

[ClockShot]

Ouch. Probably won't get much more since the heavy hitters arrive in May.

[Better Than You]

Shano-O

[Better Than You]

EWWWWWWWWWMAGA

[Kane Knight]

Ouch. Probably won't get much more since the heavy hitters arrive in May.

Condemned or Spider-Man. Tough choice...REALLY.

[SammyG]

Just get this over with already UMAGA. Any Khali sighting yet?

[Corndad]

Dont forget Shrek 3. lol

[SammyG]

lol this sleeper hold has been on for like 10 minutes

[St. Jimmy]

ARGH VEE DEE.

[Corndad]

lol this sleeper hold has been on for like ever

[Corndad]

this reminds me. How did Jamal get over?

[St. Jimmy]

... THAT WAS SHIT.

[SammyG]

That was actually pretty cool

[ClockShot]

Interesting finish.

[KingofOldSchool]

VINNIE MAC THE GREATEST ECW CHAMPION OF ALL TIME.

[Corndad]

" Extremely Crazy White guy" LOL

[St. Jimmy]

E-C-DUB E-C-DUB.

[Corndad]

dont tell me it goes that long tonight.

[SammyG]

Cena/Michaels III next. Is there any other match planned for the night? Or could this go 50 mins?

[St. Jimmy]

Micheals and Cena gonna go for 40+ this week?

[Kane Knight]

LOL. They just said that the match lasted 60 minutes and 13 seconds. Or something. Because that, they said "nearly" an hour.

[St. Jimmy]

BAH GAWD THAT 13 SECONDS WAS NOT MADE OF CHILI CON CARNE WAFFLE SAUCE.

[SammyG]

NIGGA COWBOY TROY IN DA HOUSE. COWBOYS WITH BLING

[SammyG]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[KingofOldSchool]

Carlito turning tonight?

[wwe2222]

im assuming HBK-Cena is non title

[St. Jimmy]

Ooh, Carlito Heel Turn?

[SammyG]

LOL Torrie. Carlito's look was priceless. WTF. MICHAELS CENA NOW?! and they still have a carlito match? Is carlito supposed to be in the main event?!

[SammyG]

... where is shawn

[St. Jimmy]

[KingofOldSchool]

Edge attacked HBK

[Corndad]

Edge baby.

[St. Jimmy]

OMFG NO WAI BRET HART JUST WALKED OUT BY GOD!

[SammyG]

lol Michaels bloody backstage.

[Reavant]

DAMN! Torrie Botoxed the shit out of herself

[St. Jimmy]

OMFG BRET HARTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTt

[Better Than You]

I knew we wouldn't have a winner this week.

[ClockShot]

Figures. He got jumped in back.

[lort]

Rikishi hit Shawn!

[Better Than You]

Fuckn Hart

[wwe2222]

this is miserable

[KingofOldSchool]

Figures. He got jumped in back.

I thought they were in Nashville, not Syracuse?

[The Genius]

hbk got hit by the hummer!

[SammyG]

He did it for Cena.

[Better Than You]

It figures, Bret Hart would ruin this match.

[SammyG]

I would mark the fuck out if it was KHALI

[DarKCentaur]

Maybe it's Kennedy?


...

[KingofOldSchool]

Rikishi hit Shawn!

HE DID IT FOR CENA

HE DID IT FOR DA CHAIN GANG

[DarKCentaur]

Then again, this is RAW. Check your clever storylines at the door.

[KingofOldSchool]

VAL VENIS ON RAW

[SammyG]

LOL COACH

[KingofOldSchool]

The World's Greatest Jobbers

[KingofOldSchool]

$5 says, Flair and Carlito lose...Carlito snaps and turns on Flair. Carlito will flounder as a heel for the next month, then magically become a face again without any reason.

[SammyG]

Thinkin the same thing KOOS

[SammyG]

BOTCH

[DarKCentaur]

$5 says, Flair and Carlito lose...Carlito snaps and turns on Flair. Carlito will flounder as a heel for the next month, then magically become a face again without any reason.


A month? That's too long-term for RAW

[SammyG]

Niiice shelton

[SammyG]

HEEL TURN

[Corndad]

Heel turn baby.

[St. Jimmy]

Oh. A Heel Turn. I did not see that coming.

[DarKCentaur]

I know. I never would have expected Flair to turn heel.

[ClockShot]

Surprise, surprise. :roll:

[Corndad]

Edge down now?

[St. Jimmy]

o_ o Orton went apeshit on everyone?

[SammyG]

WTF. edge is out cold too. Orton ? KHALI?!

[St. Jimmy]

If it WAS Cena, this would be a decent heel turn.

[lort]

I was going to say they'll probably have a PPV grudge match but now with WWE's multi-brand PPV's they don't have space for any non-title matches. So the angle will probably just fade away.

Haha I love Flair.

Ohhh Rikishi got to Edge too.

[Skippord]

Edge is faking

[St. Jimmy]

KAHLI! YES! IT MAKES SENSE.

[Skippord]

to avoid suspicion

[DarKCentaur]

KENNEDY!!!

[Skippord]

And get Orton out of the picture

[Better Than You]

Who's the attacker folks?

[Loose Cannon]

WOW, in all seriousness, that might have been the worst heel turn I've ever seen. Not even trying the blow it out of proportion. What the fuck did Carlito accomplish there?

Uh, he showed everyone he can't finish the job and gets his ass kicked by a 70 year old, the runs away???? WOW

[Better Than You]

WOW, in all seriousness, that might have been the worst heel turn I've ever seen. Not even trying the blow it out of proportion. What the fuck did Carlito accomplish there?

Uh, he showed everyone he can't finish the job and gets his ass kicked by a 70 year old, the runs away???? WOWCarlito is a badass. What?

[Skippord]

Carlito is a beast

[ClockShot]

Edge is down. Orton will probably be next. Then Cena.

Is Chris Jericho coming back or something?

[wwe2222]

Who's the attacker folks?

[SammyG]

ORTON LAID OUT.

[Corndad]

Orton down now?? the hell??

[Skippord]

Jack Bauer is gonna be pissed at you KoOS

[Better Than You]

Probably just a flase sense of security by Kennedy for the record.

[KingofOldSchool]

Yeah, because that all he does. Right.

Well it certainly isn't wrestling because he fails at that.

[Skippord]

ITS A MARAUDING GHOST

[SammyG]

335 DAYS AWAY FROM WM24! 335 Days from Kennedy being Champion. I can not wait.

[ClockShot]

Orton in the bathroom. Guess they didn't want to risk another room being trashed.

[RP]

OMG KENNEDY OMG HOLY SHIT CUM FUCK IN MY BLEEDING ASSHOLE

[Better Than You]

Well it certainly isn't wrestling because he fails at that.Looks like he's doing fine for himself. Define failing. Getting main events seems like succes to me...

[KingofOldSchool]

Considering he's mister MIA? Yeah.

LC > You

[DarKCentaur]

Well it certainly isn't wrestling because he fails at that.

Just curious: why don't you like Kennedy? I think he's a brilliant wrestler, considering he's still a rookie.

[St. Jimmy]

Cena done it?

[Better Than You]

Orton in the bathroom. Guess they didn't want to risk another room being trashed.lol

[DS]

Orton in the bathroom. Guess they didn't want to risk another room being trashed.
Would have been more funny if you made a poop joke.

[Better Than You]

LC > YouLC not > much

[Corndad]

Maybe it is Khali?

[SammyG]

OMG IT WAS BRET HART

[SammyG]

It was Melina

[Skippord]

Its RVD

[KingofOldSchool]

Just curious: why don't you like Kennedy? I think he's a brilliant wrestler, considering he's still a rookie.

He's bland, I have not seen one good match from him.

People get a hard on for him because he can say his name twice.

Ohhhhh Road Dogg Jr.


At least Road Dogg entertained me for 5 minutes.

[Better Than You]

Camera man 7 is the culprit.

[Kane Knight]

Considering he's mister MIA? Yeah....MIA!

[Skippord]

Its actually Satan doing it all

[RP]

It was Hulk Hogan

[Better Than You]

Camera man 7 is the culprit.I mean seriously, he's always RIGHT there. Coincidence?

[Corndad]

Dont tell me it's Vince.

[St. Jimmy]

I wish it was Triple H who did it, to be honest.

[St. Jimmy]

Said it last night, saying it again. MICKIE JAMES WEARING PANTS IS AN OUTRAGE.

[SammyG]

Oooook. Women's match gonna be the main event. I assume whoever did it is gonna interfere in this match. Also ROFL @ how much of a perv king is

[Skippord]

Its McMahon's Do Rag

[DarKCentaur]

He's bland, I have not seen one good match from him.

People get a hard on for him because he can say his name twice.

Ohhhhh Road Dogg Jr.


At least Road Dogg entertained me for 5 minutes.


I think he's a very interesting wrestler in the ring. He can work good psychology, and he has a unique habit of always trying to counter his opponent's moves. It's not much, but it gives you an illusion that he's really fighting in the ring, and not just "doing moves".

[Loose Cannon]

Considering he's mister MIA? Yeah.

WHAT? Explain this?

unless your Destor because only he would act like a faggot and say this

[SammyG]

I am still in awe of Kennedy's appearance earlier

[St. Jimmy]

Mickie James has good taste in underwear.

[Corndad]

It's gotta be Kamala

[KingofOldSchool]

Looks like he's doing fine for himself. Define failing. Getting main events seems like succes to me...

Yeah cause no other wrestler in pro wrestling history was given an undeserving push.

[Kane Knight]

Dont tell me it's Vince.Okay.

[ClockShot]

Nice move.

[SammyG]

Mickie is wearing a magnificent thong

[Corndad]

you know its gonna be stupid. It's gonna be like Umaga or something.

[RP]

I'm fondeling myself to the thought of licking hot cheese off Tevor Murdochs chest.

[SammyG]

Holy Shit Candice has improved a lot

[RawRocks]

i was hoping Kennedy would call Vince out... but if Vince did this.. lame

[St. Jimmy]

BEWBZ.

[SammyG]

Aaaallriiightt... well lets find out who it was

[KingofOldSchool]

I am still in awe of Kennedy's appearance earlier

Me too.

Well not in awe, more like awfully bored.

[KingofOldSchool]

It's as obvious as a John Cena title match, Edge did it.

He attacked HBK, he attacked Orton, and he "attacked" himself.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Taz did it. He's pissed about them turning ECW into even more of a bastard with Vinnie's win.
