Any time Raw rolls into the mecca of sports-entertainment – New York City’s Madison Square Garden – the strangest, most outrageous and most shocking things occur. This Monday night will be no exception, as heated rivalries build ever hotter toward SummerSlam, a crowning achievement seems inevitable, and WWE’s Chairman may suffer the consequences of some unexpected paternal affairs.

It was the mother – actually, father – of all bombshells last Monday, when Mr. McMahon was served a summons relating to a paternity suit for an illegitimate child. In the past, the Chairman has considered himself a “genetic jackhammer”; now it seems there may be truth to his statement. Does another McMahon exist out there, and if so, will the man who sired him own up to his parental responsibilities?

WWE Champion John Cena has never been one to back down from his commitments; however, his Garden obligation Monday night must have him considering it on some level. As if facing his SummerSlam opponent, Randy Orton, and Carlito in a Tag Team Match wasn’t going to be bad enough, Cena must do so with a savage partner who tried to destroy him last week: Intercontinental Champion Umaga. How can The Champ possibly co-exist with the Samoan Bulldozer and fend off a calculated attack from two of Raw’s most cunning Superstars? Read the full story ...

On top of everything else, Madison Square Garden will also host royalty this Monday night. After a momentary distraction by Queen Sharmell cost him his match last week, Jerry “The King” Lawler must hail King Booker and crown him in a Royal Coronation ceremony. How difficult will it be for Lawler, a wrestling “King” for more than 30 years, to swallow his royal pride and acknowledge Booker as His Majesty in the kingdom of sports-entertainment?

For the answers to these questions and more, be sure to watch Raw in Madison Square Garden, live at 9/8 CT, only on USA Network.

[RVDmark]

So do we think Trips will return tonight? I know he's not on the spreadsheet according to the TPWW front page but Vince has had a thing about screwing with the smarks recently.

[Londoner]

Pretty sure he will be at the show tonight during the Booker/Jerry Lawler segment

[Xero]

Considering that they try to pull their best shit off at the Garden hopefully it will be above average.

[Mooияakeя™]

I'm certainly looking foward to watching RAW. I'm gonna stick it out another hour hopefully, cos I'm tired and gotta get up at 6.

The Garden crowd are usually fun too.

[Pepsi Man]

Uh, Umaga tried to destroy Cena last week???????

[ClockShot]

The Iron Sheik is gonna be there and anything involving him is sure to be awesome. Along with the chance of Triple H being around, this might be a pretty good show tonight.

[#1-norm-fan]

Uh, Umaga tried to destroy Cena last week???????

Well, they had a match...

[Kane Knight]

Trips turns out to be Vince's illegitimate son, thus creating the grandaddy of all incest angles.

[Kane Knight]

IM CALLING IT NOW!!!!!!!

[Mr. JL]

^ lol

[Pepsi Man]

Well, they had a match...
Well, I guess you do have a point there...

[Shadow]

You know what...I'm bored...TONIGHT WE WATCH RAW!

[Shadow]

Oh and it turns out that I'm Vince's kid.

[Corndad]

Evenin Fellas.

[ClockShot]

Good eveing everyone.

[Shadow]

I like Eugene's new costume. It just fits.

[ClockShot]

The following segment is brought to you by Candice Michelle and godaddy.com

[Corndad]

why didnt they have everyone out there like this last week

[Corndad]

Oh wait. they kinda did. Deja Vu here.

[Shadow]

Vince is angry!

Quick! Super Eugene save us all!

[Pepsi Man]

rofl <3 Vince.

[Pepsi Man]

Steph, eh?

[Shadow]

.....wonder how streached out her vagina is.

[ClockShot]

If she's here, Hunter is either close by or home with the kid.

[Shadow]

Yes...the "kid" :shifty

[Shadow]

KENNEDY!

[Pepsi Man]

I know!...It's Ric Flair!

[ClockShot]

LOL at the crowd.

[Shadow]

NO IT'S MARK HENRY!

[Londoner]

Lol@ Vince going to Mark Henry after Kennedy...but that was painful to watch. Im glad I have somewhere to post this frustration. ugh.

[Shadow]

STOP TALKING BOBBY!

[RGWhat316]

Been a while but back on the RAW thread. The kid can only be one choice....Big Daddy V, lol.

[Shadow]

...Sandman has sticks for arms.

[RawRocks]

Greatness.. Kennedy got interrupted.. about damn time :)

[Shadow]

How can anyone take Sandman seriouslly with those sticks for arms?

Also...old people should not go to the top rope.

[Pepsi Man]

Bit much applause for a heel, there...

[Shadow]

That match sucked. And it was all the fault of the Sandman.

TAKE SOME STEROIDS YOU OLD MAN!

[KingofOldSchool]

What a shitty finisher.

[Londoner]

What a weak finish..

Beat me to it KooS. Just.

[RGWhat316]

Green Bay Plunge looks better when he does it from the top rope.

[Pepsi Man]

:Ddddddddddddd

"I was almost a teenager."

[Shadow]

There's your son.

[KingofOldSchool]

WOOOOO!

[ClockShot]

OK............

[RawRocks]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
DAMN

Ric Flair and Ron Simmons in the ring with a Wooo and Damn Fest...
now that would be fucking cool

[Pepsi Man]

:wtf:

The car commercial I just got talked about the "Summer SMACKDOWN" and how they're "putting the SMACKDOWN on high prices".

[Shadow]

...WWE Idol?

Oh this should be fun.

[ClockShot]

WWE Idol. What the fuck is going on?

[Pepsi Man]

WWE Idol?:(

[Shadow]

SOMEONE TELL ME WHEN IT'S OVER!

[ClockShot]

SCRAM!

[RGWhat316]

LOL!

[ClockShot]

WHAM!

[Londoner]

FFS.


Damn.



FFS.

Damn.

fuck this shit.

[Shadow]

Thank god for Cryme Tyme

I've never seen a white bullet proof vest before that's been blinged out.

[RawRocks]

Cryme Tyme is wearing on me

[ClockShot]

Shit. A date with Lillian would have been better.

[RGWhat316]

I'd bid on the Lilian date.

[ClockShot]

WHAT THE FUCK! KONNAN!

[Shadow]

............I'm confused...I really am.

Oh good...the Red Neck Wrecking Crew. And this screams racism to everyone right?

[Londoner]

Raw is getting really shit. HHH needs to come back urgently. The only reason i have to watch raw is so i can fall asleep, and im close to achieving that goal tonight. Thanks WWE.

[Jura]

WHAT THE FUCK! KONNAN!
I thought it was him at first.

[Shadow]

WHAT THE FUCK! KONNAN!

I was right. That was Konnan wasn't it?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I thought it was Konnan too.. Was it?

[ClockShot]

Couldn't tell. Maybe if they get close at ringside we could confirm.

[Kalyx triaD]

Results please and thank you.

[Londoner]

Im pretty sure this match will bore me to death.

[RawRocks]

Dear WWE,

Your Monday, August 13, 2007 edition of Monday Night Raw through 1 complete hour has completely sucked... Not to mention.. if I see another Geico Caveman commercial I am going puke.. WWE Idol.. please tell me this is not going to happen.

[Jura]

That guy was too small to be Konnan and plus Konnan would have no money :)

[Londoner]

^(RawRocks) Should change ye username to 'RawSucks'

[RawRocks]

^(RawRocks) Should change ye username to 'RawSucks'

:rofl:

[Shadow]

I still don't see how a smack on the back stops you from doing a pin.

Also...good job with the chair shot.

[Fignuts]

hot music

[Shadow]

King Booker vs. Triple H....oh this'll be a repeat of Maina 19

[Londoner]

And it gets worse...

[ClockShot]

Nice and quick.

[Londoner]

Well thank fuck for that.

[Shadow]

He's got no body hair. I just realized that.

Absolutly no hair at all. Its like he's the reverse A-Train.

[Londoner]

God , i can't find the words to truly describe how shit Raw is.

[RGWhat316]

Well, Highlanders got squashed again.

[Londoner]

Shitter than shit itself sort of shit, and then even shitter than that piece of shit.

[Pepsi Man]

rofl; Cody

[Shadow]

That was Cody Rhodes?

Scrawny little fuck ain't he.

[Shadow]

......no. Not even I'm that idiotic to suggest Boggan as Vince's son.

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

[Londoner]

That was freaky. And went on too long. Vince keeps hogging the camera for longer than he needs to, not surpirsing really.

[RawRocks]

ok this is the most pathetic edition of Raw I have seen in years

[RGWhat316]

That was Cody Rhodes?

Scrawny little fuck ain't he.
He certainly didn't get Dusty's fatness gene.

[Shadow]

I LOVE MARIA! SHE'S GOT BOOBS!

[Londoner]

And this is where I go to sleep. This is the worst raw ive seen in a while, and last weeks Raw was bad, i think im going to give up watching it completely.

[ClockShot]

Foley. There's hope after all.

[Pepsi Man]

rofl; "Apparently I will do almost anything for money."

[Londoner]

Right, thats it, night. fuck WWE, fuck raw, fuck this bullshit. Done watching this total piece of garbage. fucking shite WWE writers.

[Shadow]

....she looks like that one bitch from Stick It!....which is a movie that sucked.

[Jura]

Looking good Jill.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

LMAO!!!1 I LOVE REGAL!!!!

[Shadow]

.......Iron Sheik...singing....

This segment just got so much better.

[Fignuts]

lol respect the motherland

[RGWhat316]

Foley is good, but Big Daddy V seems to be the one closest to looking like Randy Jackson.

[Fignuts]

lol regal's face

[Shadow]

He's not that bad actually. I mean really.

Also...thank god Maria's standing so we can see her dress...that's classy.

[RawRocks]

LOL @ WILLIAM REGAL!

[Fignuts]

I want to see Khali and Sheik in a political debate.

[Shadow]

Someone kill that one armed man now!

Also...someone stop him from seducing my Maria now!

[mrslackalack]

This is gold

[RGWhat316]

He's singing Austin's grocery song, lol.

[Shadow]

Uh-oh...seems Santino's relationship with Maria's souring a bit.

[ClockShot]

Ron Simmons is gonna kill someone.

[mrslackalack]

Matt Boone is Vinces illegitmate child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was so ticked that he would make the IWC bitter by giving them pointless and repetive headlines on WWE and telling them to go visit TNAWrestling.com

[Pepsi Man]

hahaha @ Volkoff and also rofl @ Simmons. :D

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Seriously... The "Game show" segments have been the most entertaining thing on Raw in ages.

[DarKCentaur]

Santino = comedy GOLD

And am I the only one that's been thoroughly enjoying RAW lately? (answer: probably yes)

[RawRocks]

The last Game show segment that was pure gold was "This is Your Life" with the Rock & Sock Connection.

[Shadow]

Self-proclaimed nothing. They are the World's Greatest Tag Team!

Yet he looks nothing like Dusty though.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

IF Haas loses, 'll be pissed.

Also, Cody reminds me of John Fucking Deer

[Corndad]

Loved the Idol Segment. Not as much as the Dating game thing last night but hillarious. i also like it actually helps along a storyline instead of just being a throw away comic relief.

[mrslackalack]

Next week they should do ''WWE's got Talent''

[DarKCentaur]

Well he looks like Dustin Runnels. Who looks like Dusty. So I guess if A = B, and B = C...

At least Cody talks similar

[mrslackalack]

This Rhodes deal kinda reminds me of how WWE used Orton back in 02 on RAW as a face.

[RGWhat316]

That was a f up.

[Shadow]

He's just so scrawny though. I really have a hard time beliving that he's related to the American Dream.

[mrslackalack]

Anyone notice Estrada was back tonight when the entire roster was out? I wonder if he will make an appearence in the ME and either turn on Umaga or Umaga turn on him

[RGWhat316]

Damn, Hass shouldn't job to him.

[mrslackalack]

They should have gotten Davari again or a jobber to job to Rhodes not Haas.

[Jura]

Balls of Fury lol

[Corndad]

Anyone notice Estrada was back tonight when the entire roster was out? I wonder if he will make an appearence in the ME and either turn on Umaga or Umaga turn on him

Yea I noticed him too. Only one I didnt see out there was Cena.

[Pepsi Man]

They should have gotten Davari again or a jobber to job to Rhodes not Haas.
So they should've gotten Daivari again or Haas to job to Rhodes, not Haas?

[mrslackalack]

Oh no the crowning ceremony

[Shadow]

That crown should suddenly catch fire. That would be awsome.

[Corndad]

Well here comes the king...

[mrslackalack]

Please get off the mic sharmell

[Jura]

Here comes Triple H.

[mrslackalack]

The roof off MSG would explode if The King of Kings theme started to play.

[ClockShot]

Save this show Triple H.

[Shadow]

Does Boo....he just axed Jerry to crown him didn't he?

Back to my original question, doesn't Booker T watch promos? Triple H is the true King of Kings.

[Corndad]

Anyone else mark out if Harley Race or Haku randomly show up for this lol

Even the Macho King.

[Shadow]

Best part of the King Bookah character? When he breaks character

[Corndad]

well no apperance just a video? fuck.

[Shadow]

HHH can save a show simply by appearing in a promo

[RGWhat316]

Wow, they aren't even letting HHH make the challenge?

[ClockShot]

This is one instance I want to kill the messenger.

[mrslackalack]

If WWE was smart they should have HHH return tonight. Of course he dont have to wrestle tonight but if he made an appearence it would be awesome.

[mrslackalack]

King James

[Shadow]

He could've made the challenge via a taped video or something. This was pathetic

[Corndad]

well that sucked.

[mrslackalack]

Vince backstage at a WWE Writer DAMNIT!!!!!! IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST IDEA TO HAVE HHH RETURN TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!

[mrslackalack]

WWE dropped the ball big time with that IMO

[ClockShot]

Well. I have no other reason to continue watching this. Have a good night everyone.

[mrslackalack]

I guess the ME is next and then the child is revealed.

[mrslackalack]

And I thought the WWE wanted more ratings.

[Pepsi Man]

Grisham? :(

[mrslackalack]

For a RAW at MSG the thread is barely getting long in pages.

[RGWhat316]

*marks out for Orton*

[Corndad]

The Kid wont be revealed for a while.

This will either be the full Umaga turn or will be all a set up and a Cena beatdown. thats enough for me to watch atleast for a little bit.

[Jura]

I hope the boos are louder than the women/children cheers when Cena comes out.

[mrslackalack]

Orton just dont beat people he takes a dump in their bags.

[Corndad]

your our hero Randy lol

[mrslackalack]

They should have a Cena Lil Bow Wow Freestyle the gals would love that

[Pepsi Man]

Wow, not at all lopsided on the crowd reactions there...

[mrslackalack]

I dont see this as a swerve. Umagas getting great ovations at arenas and a Umaga/Carlito I-C title match at SS seems possible because Carlitos opp Lashley got hurt and Umagas opp Jackass crew pulled out and then it was supposed to be Hardy but he got suspended.

[mrslackalack]

I remember back in 04 at WM 20 Cena got a heck of an ovation.

[mrslackalack]

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA

[Shadow]

DAMN YOU JEFF!

[Corndad]

The hell??? Hardy vs Holyfield at SNME??? Just read this on WWE.com

NEW YORK – Montel Vontavious Porter was the one who challenged Matt Hardy to a Boxing Match at Saturday Night’s Main Event, but it will not be the United States Champion who laces up the gloves against Hardy at Madison Square Garden. Instead, MVP has found a more than suitable replacement: boxing legend Evander Holyfield.

[RGWhat316]

Orton will be the hero if he finally ends Cena's reign.

[mrslackalack]

They need to bring out Malenko to the booth to make fun of Grisham during commentary like he did on the Benoit DVD.

[Pepsi Man]

I remember back in 04 at WM 20 Cena got a heck of an ovation.
Not from me, he didn't.:mad:

[mrslackalack]

Mike Tyson should appear on SNME as well.

[Shadow]

No Estrada there....

STOP SURFING THE WEB DURING RAW JR!

[Jura]

BOOOOOOOoooooOOOOO!

[mrslackalack]

Mixed Ovation tonight

[Corndad]

C'mon Orton. Just for the fact we dont have to see that stupid spinner belt anymore.

[Shadow]

BOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOuuuuurns!

[mrslackalack]

JR wants to see if Boone put a headline that said WWE RAW REPORT ''NEW COMMENTATOR TONIGHT JOINING JR!'' lol

[mrslackalack]

Holyfield can dance as good as Jillian can sing.

[Shadow]

God that is one fat ass.

[Shadow]

Calling it right now. Cena will be in one of Orton's rest holds when we come back from commercial

[mrslackalack]

hmmm a guess a longer than usual ME then.

[mrslackalack]

And the women and children will be crying over it.

[Shadow]

...A HEEL IN TROUBLE AFTER THE COMMERCIAL BREAK? WTF!?

Also...Lol at Cena having his way with Carlito

[RawRocks]

JR lose his voice? :rofl:

[Corndad]

Someone said this last week. Good to see Carlito involved in this whole ME Title fued.

[mrslackalack]

At least Carlitos seeming to get a push again instead of jobbing to Hacksaw in opening matches at house shows.

[mrslackalack]

Wow me and Corndad was thinking the same thing.

[mrslackalack]

Coach would have been better than Grisham.

[RGWhat316]

Cena Sucks

[Corndad]

Great minds think alike i guess. lol

[mrslackalack]

They should have Cody Rhodes turn heel and join up with Orton and Carlito as a stable of 2nd generation wrestlers.

[Shadow]

Will someone end this match?

It's gotton boring.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

The hell??? Hardy vs Holyfield at SNME??? Just read this on WWE.com

NEW YORK – Montel Vontavious Porter was the one who challenged Matt Hardy to a Boxing Match at Saturday Night’s Main Event, but it will not be the United States Champion who laces up the gloves against Hardy at Madison Square Garden. Instead, MVP has found a more than suitable replacement: boxing legend Evander Holyfield.

WTF? This is real!?!! THis is just..... wierd.

[mrslackalack]

LOL at JR. Orton is a sick individual which means he can be sinister.

[Corndad]

*yawn*

[mrslackalack]

Boring match

[Corndad]

WTF? This is real!?!! THis is just..... wierd.


Wish I was I was lyin.

http://www.wwe.com/shows/snme/articles/mvpreplaced

[Jura]

lol what the fuck was that.

[Shadow]

The attempted Backstabber was great...but does Umaga know that Cena tagged himself in?

[mrslackalack]

LINDA

[Corndad]

i think that sigh says it all for the night.

[RGWhat316]

Damn, did he get laid every 5 minutes?

[mrslackalack]

I guess mayber Estrada on SNME?

[Jura]

Vince is bunking with Coachman tonight.

[mrslackalack]

WWE IDOL was hilarous

[Pepsi Man]

Mike Tyson should appear on SNME as well.
At next year's WrestleMania: Holyfield & Foley vs. Tyson & Vader!!!!!!!11111111

[Corndad]

ITS TIME ITS TIME ITS VADER TIME!!

[The Naitch]

so I guess they didn't reveal the bastard yet

[Xero]

Apparently I wasn't the only one who thought that guy was Konnan, lol...

[Xerzes]

My, what an unremarkable show.

[Londoner]

lol..seems raw got even worse after I went to sleep judging from these comments, haha.

[Innovator]

RAW was taped 90 minutes before it aired on USA.

[Innovator]

Oh yeah...D'LO BROWN was in the dark match, place went nuts for him

[Innovator]

..place went nuts for everything, definitely made RAW funner than it was for you guys

[Xero]

Oh yeah...D'LO BROWN was in the dark match, place went nuts for him
I heard that. Did he come out to his old music?

[Innovator]

Not when he first came out, but when he won and left they played it.

Not a lot of head bopping

[Johnny Vegas]

I believe RAW was pretty decent. The only thing that should have been taken out was the HHH return teaser. I just wanted him to come out, but i guess that is a good business move because i am determined to watch SS now. But like i said, pretty decent RAW. Some of you guys just need to stop fucking watching it if all you are going to do is bitch about it. What is the point of talking about how much it is sucking/you going to sleep. Well don't watch it.

[Xero]

One thing that bothered me, during the Lawler/Booker thing, were there "asshole" chants? Because they sounded piped in, and I didn't know they piped in THOSE chants.

[Londoner]

I was watching it so it put me to sleep, you fool(vegas) which it managed to do. What a good Raw it must've been if it managed to do that, considering how awake i was when it started.

[Innovator]

One thing that bothered me, during the Lawler/Booker thing, were there "asshole" chants? Because they sounded piped in, and I didn't know they piped in THOSE chants.They weren't

[DAMN iNATOR]

Vince bunked with Trips and Kennedy last night.

[Team Sheep]

Great Raw. Been a good couple of weeks. I swear if you guys just sat down throughout the whole show and watched it instead of being on here you'd appreciate it more.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I did just that and it was pure and utter "shite" as you'd say...:yes:

[jindrak]

I was there live.

Raw was taped at 7, followed by SNME, which turned out to be decent show. Hot crowd for most of the night.

Top pops-
1) Triple H teaser
2) Orton
3) Kennedy
4) Cryme Tyme
5) Foley

Honorable mention- D'Lo Brown (dark match)

Top heat-
1) Cena
2) Jillian Hall
3) King Booker
4) Stephanie
5) Santino

The noise was deafening when Cena came out and the crowd was really hot for Orton throughout the night.

[Jura]

Were you really hot for Orton as well?

[jindrak]

Were you really hot for Orton as well?

<---Orton mark, so to answer your question, yes.
