Official RAW Thread for 1/21/08: The HD Era is Here - Higher Def, Same Old Booking

[ClockShot]

No JR. The Chargers didn't give the Pats a run for their money.

[Fox]

Why does regal always say triple h as 'triple haitch'?


The same reason he always calls Umaga "Umanga." It's hilarious.

[Jura]

Why does regal always say triple h as 'triple haitch'?
I guess the H is not silent to him. Kah-no what I mean?

[Londoner]

Anyhow, the Jericho/JBL feud will even itsself out, JBL will carry the feud while Jericho carries the match.

[Innovator]

cmooooooooooon sliced bread #2

[Fox]

Rough samoan drop.

[Fox]

Spanky can take a fuckin bump, man.

[KingofOldSchool]

I, for one, am shocked.

[Y2Ant]

:eek: @ super samoan spike

[BigDaddyCool]

Mickie is still crying.

[KingofOldSchool]

Maria/Mickie dyke out!

[BigDaddyCool]

Ashley is such a slut.

[Fox]

I want to kill Ashley.

[KingofOldSchool]

Playboy angle is starting!

[Y2Ant]

Santino milks Maria, dirty little bastard.

[Jura]

HD Boobs

[BigDaddyCool]

Who does bat's through out the window in the rumble commersial? Because the tights looks like Benoits.

[KingofOldSchool]

I hope this leads to Mickie killing Ashley like she did in early 2006.

[Londoner]

HD Boobs

wish i had HD!

[Y2Ant]

Who does bat's through out the window in the rumble commersial? Because the tights looks like Benoits.

Probably the person who suggested he not be in a title match :o

[Y2Ant]

I hope this leads to some HLA personally.

[BigDaddyCool]

I hope this leads to Mickie killing Ashley like she did in early 2006.

Or maybe Beth Phonics can kill her like she did with Candice?

[Innovator]

I hope this leads to Mickie killing Ashley like she did in early 2006.
good times

[Fox]

OMG WHO CARES

[ClockShot]

Trump's daughter is hot.

[Innovator]

fuck more trump shit

[BigDaddyCool]

HHH is starting to get fat.

[Londoner]

LOL@king with those glasses

[Innovator]

Hardy video babyyyyyyyyyyy

[KingofOldSchool]

Or maybe Beth Phonics can kill her like she did with Candice?

Or maybe her and Mickie can just team up with this task?

[Savio]

raw in 3-d would be cool

[SuperSlim]

too many videos... not enough action

[Y2Ant]

lostprophets :love:

[KingofOldSchool]

JR thinks Jeff is HOT.

[Londoner]

i like this video. hope i have enough money on me to order the rumble.

[KingofOldSchool]

What a shitty song.

[KingofOldSchool]

*hits mute button*

[Londoner]

Ok Ok get on with wrestling already.

Oh damnit adverts.

[Innovator]

HHH vs. Big Stretchmark Fat Daddy V

[Innovator]

and Mark Henry AND Big show and Collie

[Fox]

that laughing shark gets me everytime

[BigDaddyCool]

Or maybe her and Mickie can just team up with this task?

I think that is something we can all enjoy.

[Y2Ant]

I hope Val Venis qualifies for the Royal Rumble.

[KingofOldSchool]

HHH vs. Aurora Rose

Will little 1 1/2 year old Aurora job to daddy?

[Londoner]

I hope Val Venis qualifies for the Royal Rumble.

Stop getting alienoids hopes up.

[SuperSlim]

that laughing shark gets me everytime

something about it that is just so freakin funny

[Innovator]

Punk vs. Chavo, take 4

[Innovator]

mariaaaaaaaaaa

[BigDaddyCool]

So the ECW championship isn't being defended at the Rumble?

[KingofOldSchool]

Punk vs. Chavo, take 4

Only 57 more matches and they can match Punk/Morrison.

[BigDaddyCool]

that laughing shark gets me everytime

It is hilarious

[KingofOldSchool]

So the ECW championship isn't being defended at the Rumble?

That would require care and effort from the booking team.

[Londoner]

BDC(regarding the ecw title)- No it isnt. Which makes no sense.

[KingofOldSchool]

looks like CAWHDy is using the "walk down the ring looking confused" entrance.

[BigDaddyCool]

That would require care and effort from the booking team.

You mean picking up a pen and putting it to paper?

[KingofOldSchool]

And if you're the Highlanders, you'll go throughout your career without winning.

[KingofOldSchool]

You mean picking up a pen and putting it to paper?

No, actually taking the time to come up with such a silly concept.

[Innovator]

You mean picking up a pen and putting it to paper?
Way too much effort there

Plus its ECW, cmon

[BigDaddyCool]

And if you're the Highlanders, you'll go throughout your career without winning.

They won their first few, I thought.

[Innovator]

Honestly the one place I'd put Punk/Chavo on would be in the Garden

[BigDaddyCool]

Do JR and King really care about that match?

[Londoner]

Was that a rumble qualifying match?

[BigDaddyCool]

Honestly the one place I'd put Punk/Chavo on would be in the Garden

But the wrestling would probably out shine everything else.

[KingofOldSchool]

Honestly the one place I'd put Punk/Chavo on would be in the Garden

They don't want Punk wresting in the Garden.

[BigDaddyCool]

Was that a rumble qualifying match?

No, they were both already in the rumble.

[Innovator]

They don't want Punk wresting in the Garden.
Yea, heaven help it if he gets a strong babyface reaction

[BigDaddyCool]

Sweet, the Rock still rules.

[KingofOldSchool]

Yea, heaven help it if he gets a reaction

[BigDaddyCool]

Writers: Hey, that CM Punk guy is really getting a good reaction.

Vince: Who?

Writer: CM Punk, the ECW champion?!

Vince: The skinny tatooed guy?

Writer: Yeah, he is getting a good reaction, he should be on the Rumble.

Vince: Naw, that guy is skinny, I could kick his ass. Lets just bury him.

[KingofOldSchool]

HHH vs. Bret Hart

[Londoner]

I rememebr this rumble well.

[Innovator]

Dammit theres a Chevy's in Times Square, gotta go there next

[BigDaddyCool]

lol Angle with hair

[ClockShot]

So who's it gonna be?

[BigDaddyCool]

Angle was funnier when he had hair.

[Innovator]

ok what hoss will it be

[McLegend]

I'm saying Big Show

[Kane Knight]

So...Do I tune out right now?

[Innovator]

Angle was funnier when he had hair.
Angle + hair - the crazy = 2002 Kurt

[KingofOldSchool]

Writers: Hey, that CM Punk guy is really getting a good reaction.

Vince: Who?

Writer: CM Punk, the ECW champion?!

Vince: The skinny tatooed guy?

Writer: Yeah, he is getting a good reaction, he should be on the Rumble.

Vince: Naw, that guy is skinny, my granddaughter could kick his ass. Lets just bury him.

[BigDaddyCool]

Is it going to be Snitsky again?

[Kane Knight]

Stop dragging it out.

[Londoner]

Please let it be big show

[BigDaddyCool]

Is it going to be Benoit?

[BigDaddyCool]

Regal?

[Innovator]

Regal back to his old music?

[ClockShot]

Regal? Nah.

[Londoner]

lol'triple haitch'

[SuperSlim]

oh gay... a gauntlet

[ClockShot]

Gauntlet.

[Londoner]

Wont be big show then.

[BigDaddyCool]

Figures. Wait, are we watching TNA?

[KingofOldSchool]

Oh yipee.

LAME.

[Kane Knight]

What?

[Londoner]

Shitty.

[Kane Knight]

Gah. Shoulda known.

[Innovator]

Oh yeah Snitsky in HD, still no reaction

[BigDaddyCool]

BTW, I called Snisky

[Londoner]

All that hype and wait for nothing.

[KingofOldSchool]

SNITSKY HD

[SuperSlim]

oh come on... Snits doesn't stand a chance against Triple H

[Londoner]

This is like, the lamest thing they could've come up with.

[BigDaddyCool]

I bet next it is going to be Samoa Joe, then he will bitch about not geting enough money from his contract and eat 50 cheeseburgers.

[Innovator]

bye bye Snit

[Jura]

And then after Mark probably BDV.

[Kane Knight]

I smell an injury!

[Innovator]

I bet next it is going to be Samoa Joe, then he will bitch about not geting enough money from his contract and eat 50 cheeseburgers.
That'd be better than this going on

[SuperSlim]

so now we get the big black jobber in Mark Henry

[KingofOldSchool]

MIZARK!

[Y2Ant]

Somebody gonna get their *BLEEP* kicked :rofl:

[Innovator]

HHH job in HD to a black guy? :lol:

[Kane Knight]

I'm calling Hassan for the third. :shifty:

[KingofOldSchool]

I bet next it is going to be Samoa Joe, then he will bitch about not geting enough money from his contract and eat 50 cheeseburgers.

Well you were close enough...

[Londoner]

bye bye Shit

Fixed.

[BigDaddyCool]

Mark Henry should steal Samoa Joe's cheeseburgers.

[BigDaddyCool]

I think they just injured the ring.

[Fox]

BDV is next.

[SuperSlim]

who didn't see that crappy elimination?

[Innovator]

V

[ClockShot]

Lame.

[Y2Ant]

BDVHD for the third I bet

[BigDaddyCool]

That was telegraphed.

[Innovator]

REGAL!

[Y2Ant]

or not

[Londoner]

BORING

[ClockShot]

Well. It's Regal after all.

[BigDaddyCool]

Why does Regal hate HHH now?

[Kane Knight]

Regal iin the ring = Ratings.

[KingofOldSchool]

lol Regal is gonna get squashed worse.

[Kane Knight]

Oh shock. Regal loses. Trips is in.

[Jura]

It's not over yet! Hopefully.

[Londoner]

Haitch Haitch Haitch wins

[BigDaddyCool]

I would mark out if someone did a complete curly spin in pain on the canvas.

[KingofOldSchool]

Well gee what a surprise.

[ClockShot]

We still got time to kill. The last guy is gonna come out.

[BigDaddyCool]

We still have at least 15 minutes.

[Fox]

Undertaker and Triple H last two in the Rumble this year.

[Innovator]

CENA OVERCAME THE ODDS!

[Kane Knight]

Was that the main event?

[BigDaddyCool]

Wait, we have that hand shaking crap

[Innovator]

We still have at least 15 minutes.
HHH needs to pose

[Londoner]

Oh yay a handshake next

[Kane Knight]

Oh, the gay handshake.

[Jura]

Shiet, Triple H is going to win the Rumble.

[Fox]

The Staredown!

[ClockShot]

Oh sure. Forgot all about the "handshake".

[Fox]

er, Handshake!

[Innovator]

Why the fuck did Meet the Spartans get made?

[Kane Knight]

PISS BREAK!

[KingofOldSchool]

Was that the main event?

Nah, the main event is a HANDSHAKE.

Which will be more competitive than the previous match.

[Kane Knight]

Why the fuck did Meet the Spartans get made?

Because tards buy the most tickets.

[Fignuts]

wtf no show? what bullshit.

[Fox]

I smell an RKO.

[Londoner]

Handshakes are so thrilling, is there anything more entertaining than a handshake?I can't think of anything!!

[Innovator]

Because tards buy the most tickets.
Comcast?

[Y2Ant]

Hardy is gonna job to Orton's handshake.

[Fox]

This movie "The Eye" looks awful.

[BigDaddyCool]

Why the fuck did Meet the Spartans get made?

Cause it turns out making fun of movies people like makes money and takes nothing to make. It is the movie verison of sitcoms.

[KingofOldSchool]

Because tards buy the most tickets.

That explains Cena's push.

[Fox]

Oh good, another video of the jump. Since we didn't already see it.

[BigDaddyCool]

This movie "The Eye" looks awful.

I've seen the Chinese movie it is based off, that was pretty god.

[Londoner]

Trust me when i say this, you do not want to miss, THE HANDSHAKE!

[Innovator]

Why does Vince need to come out

[Fox]

Handshakes are a big deal to Vincent Kennedy McMahon.

[The Gold Standard]

I love Vinny Mac in HD

even though I don't have HD

[KingofOldSchool]

JR finds all of this provocative.

[Innovator]

Spinning crap in HD!

[BigDaddyCool]

Trust me when i say this, you do not want to miss, THE HANDSHAKE!

Why, does a limo explode?

[Londoner]

This'll be interesting A HANDSHAKE! OMFG!!!!1111

[Innovator]

Warrior, not Hogan JR

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL Hulk Hogan

[BigDaddyCool]

Warrior, not Hogan JR

Hogan has done everything, duh. :roll:

Warrior rules.

[KingofOldSchool]

"Hulk Hogan won a tournament for the WWE Title at Wrestlemania V!"

[Innovator]

Don't worry Vince doesn't hear those chants, he heard HHH

[BigDaddyCool]

Which is why they have been hyping the shit out of it.

[Londoner]

It'll be a handshake match

[Volchok]

fuckin jackass

[Innovator]

Vince looks OLD

[Londoner]

OH suspense before the handshake!

[KingofOldSchool]

There is a lot of sexual tension in the air, folks.

[Fox]

That stupid belt...

[The Gold Standard]

I really think Jeff Hardy could win

[BigDaddyCool]

Will Warrior come out and make everyone job and no sell finishers?

[Innovator]

BURRESS BABY

[BigDaddyCool]

Jeff wants the robo-penis to talk into now.

[NeanderCarl]

Raw has been pretty boring tonight from where I'm sitting.

[ClockShot]

Geez. Get him off the mic already.

[KingofOldSchool]

Hardy gets off on pain.

[BigDaddyCool]

Jericho should be taking notes from Jeff on how to cut a promo.

[The Gold Standard]

Jeff was getting so good on the mic...today he just went down hill

[Volchok]

Aww Jeff was on a role too.

[Skippord]

Kiss him

[NeanderCarl]

I really think Jeff Hardy could win

He may, as a hot shot, and drop the belt back to Orton before WrestleMania. I wouldn't be SHOCKED if that happened, but I think it would be a stupid move. Better off having Hardy look strong in defeat at the Rumble, and look to him for a possible title run later in the year.

[KingofOldSchool]

Hardy doesn't respet Orton! HEEL HEATZORZ!11

[Londoner]

lol wtf

[KingofOldSchool]

KENNY!
JOHNNY!
MITCH!
NICKY!
MIKEY!

AND WE ARE...RESPECTED BY JEFF HARDY!

[Skippord]

DAMMIT I TUNED IN JUST FOR THIS HANDSHAKE

[ClockShot]

Lou Bega. Where you at?

[Londoner]

shake hands already, theres nothing more entertaining than shaking hands

[Londoner]

Thank god.

[Innovator]

well there goes Jeff winning the title

[ClockShot]

Orton wins.

[Londoner]

Twist of fate, jeff should shake his hand for a laugh now.

[Volchok]

lol just lol...

[BigDaddyCool]

He should now shake his hand

[KingofOldSchool]

RKO SUNDAY

[Londoner]

Ah well.

[Fox]

Basic wrestling formula says since Jeff got the last shot tonight, Orton retains at the Rumble.

[NeanderCarl]

What an anti-climax after last week's suicide dive. Wouldn't it have made more sense to book the handshake last week, and the swanton this week?

[RP]

Like conebone69 !

[Loose Cannon]

wow, did I actually just see that? I didn't expect that at all. I expected the other way around with orton doing the RKO. very well done there. Babyface saying fuck you. always nice to see :y:

[KingofOldSchool]

Grisham: Jeff, you didn't win the WWE Title. What are your thoughts?
Hardy: It's okay, after all little Cole in Virgina respects me and I respect him!

*Michael Cole's eyes flutter*

Cole: He loves me! He really REALLY loves me!

[RP]

anyone notice the really rich old white guy in the crowd when Jeff first started walking through it. Right after he stopped at Kris P Lettuce in the crowd. What was that all about?

[NeanderCarl]

Virgina respects me

It's spelt V-A-G-I-N-A.

[The Gold Standard]

I just want to see Jeff win the belt for like a week. Thats it. Then he can lose to Orton. Just give him the belt for a little.

[Gerard]

New set looks good, be interesting to see how its portrayed in the new games, though knowing yukes even though its unveiled in january 08 they won't have it in the game till november 09.

Will end up being dumbed down in the games though, even the old raw set was missing the minitrons and the side bars on the entrance, each wrestler had little videos playing there, in the games it just flashed the raw logo. Probably just have a flashing raw logo instead of it being individual for each wrestler. =/

[NeanderCarl]

I just want to see Jeff win the belt for like a week. Thats it. Then he can lose to Orton. Just give him the belt for a little.

If you really don't see how that would be more detrimental to Hardy's momentum than not actually winning it, why not check out his Intercontinental title exchange with Triple H from 2001.

[Mr. Pierre]

If he were to win the title, then lose it to Orton at No Way Out, it wouldn't be bad at all if it branched off into a high profile match for Mania against a heel Trips.

[Skull316]

Not so sure about that. SVR08 while it doesn't have the set completely changing per wrestler, it has a lot of individual entrances...down to HBK's summerslam entrance having the pyro going around the top of the set (HBK vs Hogan), whereas everyone else's is in the normal spot. I definitely see them being able to take that further in future games with the new RAW set.

[tuney41]

I thought the new titantron was awesome

[Jura]

You don't have to show your sig in every post.

[Kane Knight]

Comcast?

What about them?

This movie "The Eye" looks awful.

Don't worry. It will be.

That explains Cena's push.

Nah. Even morons won't buy tickets anymore.

Vince looks OLD

He looks older in HD.

http://secondnegative.com/images/skeletor.jpg

You don't have to show your sig in every post.

In fact, please don't.

Some of the admins will ban you for it, even.
