The Bradley Center in Milwaukee will be rocking with three solid hours of action as Raw airs a special “WrestleMania Rewind Night” extravaganza.

Superstars from Raw, SmackDown and ECW will battle in rematches from past WrestleMania spectaculars, giving competitors the chance to rewrite – or relive – history. Video Preview ...

During this special Raw event, Floyd “Money” Mayweather and Big Show will meet in an official WrestleMania weigh-in for their titanic matchup in Orlando, Fla. Will sparks fly as The Greatest Fighter in the World will once again be in the same ring with the gargantuan former World Champion before their one-on-one contest at WrestleMania XXIV?

John Cena made the matches last week on Raw, and got an RKO for his efforts. Now, as seen exclusively first on WWE Mobile on AT&T, Raw GM William Regal tapped Orton to be in charge in next week's Triple Threat Takeover on Raw. What will the WWE Champion have in store for his two WrestleMania opponents?

Shawn Michaels told Ric Flair he didn’t want to be the man to end the legendary 35-year career of the Nature Boy. Will HBK reconsider and recommit to facing his friend on sports-entertainment’s grandest stage?

Last week, Finlay ended all the speculation about Hornswoggle and Mr. McMahon, telling the world he was behind the ruse that portrayed the leprechaun as the billionaire’s bastard son and admitting that he was the real father. JBL then challenged the Belfast Brawler to a match at WrestleMania, as he further tortured Hornswoggle in his hospital bed. Bet on the Irish coming out ready to fight next Monday if Finlay crosses paths with the self-made millionaire.

Also, the Undertaker will face the "World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry in a Casket Match – a rematch of their WrestleMania 22 battle won by the Deadman. Will darkness reign again over SmackDown's behemoth, or will Henry rewrite history and avenge his previous loss to the current No. 1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship?

What other surprises will be in store? Tune in live this Monday at a special time – 8/7 CT – on USA Network for three action-packed hours of “WrestleMania Rewind Night” on Raw.

[Mr. JL]

anyone know when RAW starts in Canada.. hopefully not at 9pm

[KingofOldSchool]

*grumbles* I was in the middle of getting mine up.

[Xero]

Pwnd.

[Londoner]

Can't believe this starts so early tonight, hopefully its better than last weeks, sounds like it should be.

[KingofOldSchool]

Can't believe this starts so early tonight, hopefully its better than last weeks, sounds like it should be.

Ummm well it IS 3 hours.

[Xero]

Well, considering they usually deliver on the 3 hour shows, I'm assuming it'll be DECENT.

[Londoner]

Koos: Yeh but 3 hours start at 1am here normally, not 12.

[Azriel]

I'm guessing Edge will interfere in Taker's match tonight.

[Xero]

Spear into the casket!

[Londoner]

Please let there be a jericho/hbk match.

[Heros Welcome]

Please let there be a jericho/hbk match.

[Azriel]

evening all. And here we go!

[Hanso Amore]

If there is No Jericho HBK mathc I riot.

Not much else they can do with the current roster.

[Londoner]

no way, taker/henry again. :(

[Londoner]

lol the weigh in would make sense if it were boxing..

[KingofOldSchool]

I noticed that pretty much all of the Raw divas are in the opening but Mickie James.

[Hanso Amore]

Flair has hands down, the best entrance music ever.

He has had it 30 years and is never got stale!

[Corndad]

Evening fellas.

Man I thought they would go with Orton Taker instead of Taker Henry.

[Azriel]

Flair/HBK segment. Good way to start

[Londoner]

hbks music > flairs music

[Destor]

nah

[Jura]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo!!

[Londoner]

Yah, btw flair is god of promos

[Corndad]

Im gonna miss Flair getting all worked up in his promos to the point where his face turns beat red. lol

[Hanso Amore]

Im gonna miss Flair getting all worked up in his promos to the point where his face turns beat red. lol

I need to see him elbow drop a inanimate object one more time.


Maybe they go Jericho vs HHH

[Londoner]

please superkick flair

[Corndad]

Edge and the two "Edge guys" lol

[Azriel]

Flair/HBK will rock the house, at least I hope

[Corndad]

HHH/Kane? wow didnt see that one comin

[Londoner]

hbk/cena? ah fuck

[Londoner]

CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT

[Azriel]

Meh

[Jura]

Did the feed get cut out for a sec?

[Hanso Amore]

Flair/HBK will rock the house, at least I hope

They could suck but the pure emotion after the match will be amazing.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol this makes no fucking sense. Cena/JBL and HHH/Bats woulda made a million times more sense from Orton's perspective. ah well</font>

[Corndad]

Cena HBK. Hm. And here I thought Bret Hart or Tito Santana would come back to face Shawn tonight.

[Londoner]

yeh the tv signal went out for a min

[Azriel]

So, who's Orton facing?

Oh good, they're doing the Taker match early

[Azriel]

Cena HBK. Hm. And here I thought Bret Hart or Tito Santana would come back to face Shawn tonight.

Corn, I know it's tough, but face the facts dude, Bret is never going to wrestle in a WWE ring again, much less against Shawn. It just won't happen.

[Londoner]

Orton has probs given himself the night off.

[Loose Cannon]

Kane/HHH was a good match at Mania 15. I loved that PPV. Chyna turned babyface and then heel. Kane started as heel and turned babyface. HHH turned heel. it was sweet

[Londoner]

I hate this bs build up to a casket match.

[Azriel]

Well, seeing Taker on RAW will be cool.

[Londoner]

Kane/HHH was a good match at Mania 15. I loved that PPV. Chyna turned babyface and then heel. Kane started as heel and turned babyface. HHH turned heel. it was sweet

yeah i've got that on tape.

[Destor]

*DONG*

[Corndad]

Corn, I know it's tough, but face the facts dude, Bret is never going to wrestle in a WWE ring again, much less against Shawn. It just won't happen.

I was messin Az. lol We got more of a shot of Sherri walking with Shawn down the aisle again then Bret wrestling.

[Loose Cannon]

I really want to see Kane be the one to end Takers streak.

[Hanso Amore]

MMA gloves have got to go

[Azriel]

Betcha the druids by the caket are the Edgeheads

[Hanso Amore]

Entrance is too long

[Loose Cannon]

woah, Taker looks sick

[Londoner]

ugh takers long ass entrance pisses me off still

[Hanso Amore]

Betcha the druids by the caket are the Edgeheads

That would be a sweet end to this match, and a great way to get the match over.

[Destor]

MMA gloves have got to go
Nah, they let him throw harder strikes with out hurting the guys. It's a good idea.

[Hanso Amore]

Nah, they let him throw harder strikes with out hurting the guys. It's a good idea.

At least block out the name....Seeing primetime when he takes off his hat doesn fit

[Destor]

I agree

[Londoner]

That would be a sweet end to this match, and a great way to get the match over.

Agreed.

[Hanso Amore]

Taker is starting to show his age

In the face

[KingofOldSchool]

Was not expecting Kane/HHH or Cena/HBK.

[Hanso Amore]

Taker looks like he is wearing a leather undertaker Halloween mask

[Jura]

lol Why don't you use the quote function TL?

[Hanso Amore]

I guess we dont get Jericho tonight....HHH and HBK are booked, beniot is dead and Angle is gone.

[Hanso Amore]

Henry is busted the fuck open in the mouth, he is dripping

[Hanso Amore]

That choke looks retarded, how his it suppose to work?

[KingofOldSchool]

That was weak.

[Loose Cannon]

Taker's got like sun poisining

[Destor]

I dont care for the blood gimmick

[Londoner]

weak finish, should've done what azriel suggested.

[Destor]

That choke looks retarded, how his it suppose to work?
It's a real choke brudda

[Hanso Amore]

Worst..................Commercial.............................EVER!

[Hanso Amore]

It's a real choke brudda

Is he doing it right?

I mean, he was just pulling him down unto his knee.......Plus in a normal match he would get pinned

[Corndad]

lol at Carlito getting owned by the Seagulls again this week. lol

[Azriel]

Well, so much for that. At least it was short

That Mania commercial is retarded

[SammyG]

love the carlito commercial

[Innovator]

Taker and HHH on the same show, SHITS FLYING BACKSTAGE

[Hanso Amore]

SUPERHEO MOVIE?!?!?!


FUCKING KILL ME WHEN WILL THEY END!

[ClockShot]

Evening folks. Sorry I'm late.

[Londoner]

lol Why don't you use the quote function TL?

Can't be assed sometimes.

[Innovator]

YES

AXMEN

[Innovator]

BTW, what up RAW thread

[Azriel]

Well, sounds like Jeff will have a match and Jericho will interrupt probably

[Innovator]

The world is talking about it?...not really

[SammyG]

Floyd and his NIGGAZ

[Loose Cannon]

I ready for IRS to completely carry the tag match

[Destor]

Is he doing it right?

I mean, he was just pulling him down unto his knee.......Plus in a normal match he would get pinned
It's juijitsu. Really it's a terrible move for wrestling.

[Innovator]

Fuck, they should have gotten Tarver, better talked

[ClockShot]

Mason "The Line" Dixon.

[Loose Cannon]

The Chli Pepers song is pretty good.

[Innovator]

It's juijitsu. Really it's a terrible move for wrestling.
Still, gotta love someone busting out a Gogoplatta

[Innovator]

Fuck, I still don't care about this main event

[KingofOldSchool]

Floyd is racist, why can't he hang out with any honkeys?

[KingofOldSchool]

UH OH HHH GAVE US INSIDE BOOKING PLANS FROM LAST YEAR!

[Innovator]

....did HHH really just say it was supposed to be him vs. Cena? He seriously just gave away what they wanted to do? :lol:

[Hanso Amore]

Skittles makes some funny ass fucking commercials.

[SammyG]

BAH GAWD GAME ON

[Azriel]

That was a really bizarre Skittles commercial

[KingofOldSchool]

....did HHH really just say it was supposed to be him vs. Cena? He seriously just gave away what they wanted to do? :lol:

He secretly leaks info to Meltzer.

[Londoner]

lol im glad we aint getting your shite commercials, were getting our own shite ones though. :(

[Azriel]

Well, Trips is allowed to do that. He is family, ya know? :lol:

[Innovator]

MIKEY DELANEY GETS EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEME

[Innovator]

He secretly leaks info to Meltzer.
So he set up Lagana?....so I have to give HHH props then

[Innovator]

Uh god...not this shit

[Corndad]

Nothing is ratings like JBL raping a midget.

[Loose Cannon]

Finley needs to do his tombstone to Taker

[Innovator]

KENNEDY...HOMETOWN....

[SammyG]

JBL is awesome and LOL @ the whimpering

[Innovator]

well home state

[SammyG]

omg they are still using that TERRIBLE THEME

[Hanso Amore]

How is thing a rewind?

[ClockShot]

Wow. I expected the crowd to pop for Kennedy.

[KingofOldSchool]

Piss break.

[Innovator]

OLD SCHOOL FINLAY MUSIC, THANK GOD

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL where is the Irish Spring music?

[Innovator]

Shut up JBL...get your ass on a treadmill

[Londoner]

Finlay/mcmahon would be so much better bat wm.

[KingofOldSchool]

JBL/Finlay should be a good brawl.

[Londoner]

Ahh nice@finlay attacking kennedy like that

[Hanso Amore]

Finlay had the best debut in WCW ever.


Way too bury kennedy in his back yard for the 2nd striaght time.

[KingofOldSchool]

YES!

BEAT HIS ASS!

YES!

[Innovator]

So the home crowd burials in WWE continue

[KingofOldSchool]

YES! GO FINLAY!

[Azriel]

So, is there any difference between a Belfast Brawl and a Street Fight?

[Londoner]

FIIINNLLAAAAYYYYY








.....FINLAY!

[Innovator]

KoOS is marking out bigtime

[Londoner]

LOL

its kennedys home crowd and they cheer finlay

[KingofOldSchool]

WOOOO! GO FINLAY!

[Londoner]

that was better than i thought it would be

[KingofOldSchool]

ONE MORE TIME FOR ME!

[Innovator]

Fuck the 3 way, the main event is Taker vs. Edge

[ClockShot]

Ouch.

[SammyG]

Why are they not mentioning Edge's undefeated streak at mania...?

[Azriel]

So, who did Kennedy piss off this time?

[Innovator]

Why are they not mentioning Edge's undefeated streak at mania...?
Because he lost last year

[KingofOldSchool]

Why are they not mentioning Edge's undefeated streak at mania...?

Because he lost last year.

[Corndad]

Normally wait to do a threat like this but why the hell not.

What order you see the Main Events in. I mean they dont HAVE to have the 3 way last as Cena really isnt even using his Rumble win.

They will have Show/Floyd high but they are completely stupid to have it last.

If Taker is planned to win... maybe have it last. What you guys think?

[Innovator]

JINX

[Azriel]

I would think Taker would be last.

[KingofOldSchool]

3 way is going last, no discussion is needed.

[Innovator]

Jeff Hardy is going last

[Londoner]

Why is this even being discussed? the raw main event is always last

[Hanso Amore]

HHH will win the title and end the grandaddy of them all as the focus, you can bet your ass on it.

[KingofOldSchool]

AHHHH RAVEN SYMONE!

[SammyG]

that is SO raven

[ClockShot]

Raven-Symone at wrestlemania.............

Did her movie bomb over the weekend or is she done with Disney?

[Londoner]

Oh jeff is dropping the title

[Innovator]

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

AN IC TITLE MATCH?!?!?

[Londoner]

theyve edited his music again

[Hanso Amore]

Hardy needs to go back to his old music....it was iconic like the big guys.

[KingofOldSchool]

OMG THE IC TITLE IS BEING DEFENDED!

[Innovator]

I guess Jeff found his belt again

[Londoner]

lol 'this will not be a wrestlemania rewind night'

[SammyG]

Hardy's theme is terrible. Also why is he coming out first?

[Innovator]

Crap it's going to be against Jericho...and Jericho will win...thus signifying the push is over

[KingofOldSchool]

Hardy vs. Jericho, nice

[Hanso Amore]

Wow, holy botched twist of fate

[KingofOldSchool]

Crap it's going to be against Jericho...and Jericho will win...thus signifying the push is over

No, Hardy is getting his win back.

[Innovator]

98 time IC champion, Chris Jericho

[Londoner]

BREAK DOWN THE WAAALLLS

[Corndad]

I was trying to think, when was the last Smackdown Main Event that was the actual Main Event.

Was it Angle Lesnar at WM 19?

[Hanso Amore]

They need to turn jericho heel

[Londoner]

so whoever wins this aint winning mitb

[Hanso Amore]

I was trying to think, when was the last Smackdown Main Event that was the actual Main Event.

Was it Angle Lesnar at WM 19?

Yup, hence the Lesnar Curse

[Azriel]

Sweeet! Jericho/Hardy for the title

[Jura]

Y2J's entrance on the new Titantron is sweet.

[Hanso Amore]

LOL, Im pretty sure orton doesnt want to be IC champ....Or HBK, Or Cena, or HHH, or taker, or ..........

[Innovator]

JR: Everyone wants to be the Intercontinental Champion

...how did he say that without cracking up?

[Hanso Amore]

Y2J's entrance on the new Titantron is sweet.

I like the Save us Y2J banner at the top

[Londoner]

Y2J's entrance on the new Titantron is sweet.

:y:

[XL]

Any one know of a decent stream for this? The site that someone hooked us up with last week is pathetic.

[KingofOldSchool]

JR: Everyone wants to be the Intercontinental Champion

...how did he say that without cracking up?

The Intercontinental Title is SERIOUZ BIZZNESS

[Innovator]

The Intercontinental Title is SERIOUZ BIZZNESS
I wonder if the announcers remembered what IC stood for

[Londoner]

I know jericho likes the ic title a lot, remember him saying it a while back.

[SammyG]

I hate mid match commercials, come on

[SammyG]

http://channelsurfing.net/watch-ppv.html

stream works perfectly

[ClockShot]

Spirited? Come on, J.R.

[Innovator]

I just spotted an LWO shirt in the crowd...awesome

[Hanso Amore]

HARDY IS FUCKING DEAD

[SammyG]

HOLY SHIT OUCH

[Innovator]

First time Jeff's tried the barrier run in a while

[Hanso Amore]

nevermind, Looked worse from the first angle

[Azriel]

dear Lord, how's he still able to move?

[Londoner]

what happened? i was out the room for a sec

[Innovator]

Jeff could be one of the best sellers in WWE right now

[Innovator]

Wow Jericho is so much better working in the heel role

[KingofOldSchool]

ECW is here?


Where?

[Innovator]

Northern lights? JR called a move, he's in trouble

[XL]

http://channelsurfing.net/watch-ppv.html

[SammyG]

[Londoner]

[Innovator]

[ClockShot]

Wow. Great match.

Well. Not anymore.

[Innovator]

[Innovator]

CODEBREAKER, 99 TIME IC CHAMPION

[ClockShot]

YEAH!

[KingofOldSchool]

YES!

[Azriel]

Nice match.

[Volchok]

Hardy winning MITB?

[Jura]

lol Now Jericho is back to where he was so many years ago with the IC.

[SammyG]

JERICHO WINS JERICHO WINS WOOOOO OMG OMG OMG WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Corndad]

That either means end of Jeffs push or he is winning MITB and cashing in for the World

[Innovator]

Guess it's time for Jeff to move up...and Jericho to rule the IC world

[Hanso Amore]

Jericho is still the goods in the ring!

[Azriel]

So, Jeff wins MITB, Jericho gets the belt. Fair trade I guess

[KingofOldSchool]

JERICHO WON CLEAN!

[Innovator]

RULE THE WORLD LIKE A SEXY BEAST BABY

[Londoner]

maybe they're making y2j ic champ as it makes the mitb winner look better, which means y2j will win mitb. yes, thats it.

[Hanso Amore]

Maybe this will be the start of a long hardy vs Jerucho Fued

[KingofOldSchool]

Guess it's time for Jeff to move up...and Jericho to rule the IC world

Back to mid-card where Triple H thinks he belongs!

[SammyG]

Ok, so hardy is winning MITB.

[Evil Vito]

[Innovator]

Humbling time

[Azriel]

A Hogan/Austin/Rock/Foley apperance would be cool, but i don't see that happening

[Hanso Amore]

I dont think this means hardy wins MITB, as much as it means that hardy or Jericho are guaranteed the win.

[Innovator]

Someone please give Shiek a live mic

[Innovator]

A Hogan/Austin/Rock/Foley apperance would be cool, but i don't see that happening
Hey, get your head out of your clouds
