OFFICIAL RAW Thread - 4/8/08

[Londoner]

lol so i guess they pulled out of splitting the two strange that jr should mention it

[ClockShot]

Or perhaps London/Kendrick.

Or....maybe just London.

[Londoner]

only thing im interested in is the highlight reel tonight

[NeanderCarl]

I really wanna attend a WrestleMania in the next couple of years. Make a long holiday of it (Hall of Fame, WrestleMania, Raw, ECW and SmackDown, plus a few days either side).

So what do you guys over the pond recommend (considering I've never been over there)... Should I make the effort to go to Texas next year, or wait until they hit Orlando again (rumoured) the year after?

[Londoner]

its upto jericho to SAVE US

[Gerard]

ahah kendrick

[Londoner]

lol what a botched move

[Linkbowler]

LILIAN BOTCH

[KingofOldSchool]

LONDRICK WINS TWO STRAIGHT WEEKS!

[NeanderCarl]

Wow. Tag Teams are really getting a push right now. Shame there are no good ones.

Maybe due to THQ's barmy decision to revolve SmackDown vs Raw 2009 around tag team wrestling?

It took a game to shame WWE into putting some focus on the tag team division so that their next game isn't a major washout.

[Fox]

almost halfway over and not a single stand-out moment on RAW

[Volchok]

They're breaking up again?

[Azriel]

Yeah Londrick!!

[DarKCentaur]

I really wanna attend a WrestleMania in the next couple of years. Make a long holiday of it (Hall of Fame, WrestleMania, Raw, ECW and SmackDown, plus a few days either side).

F that. Wait till it comes back to MSG. WM20 was off the freakin' charts. Except I forgot who won that night.

[Gerard]

Oh look a champion backstage without the belt welded to his shoulder. He's getting fined.

[Londoner]

Carl, apparently it was thanks to JR.

[BigDaddyCool]

Did Lillian just announce Cade and Murdoch as winners?

[ClockShot]

So what. They're gonna slowly seperate the tag teams? First London and Kendrick, now Cadoch?

[KingofOldSchool]

Wait...the handicap match is next?

[rob11]

F that. Wait till it comes back to MSG. WM20 was off the freakin' charts. Except I forgot who won that night.
Smark cities are getting punished :(

[Jaton]

Did Lillian just announce Cade and Murdoch as winners?

She's allowed to botch. Don't question.

[dablackguy]

HHH DVD oh boy.....

[Fabien Barthez]

I really wanna attend a WrestleMania in the next couple of years. Make a long holiday of it (Hall of Fame, WrestleMania, Raw, ECW and SmackDown, plus a few days either side).

So what do you guys over the pond recommend (considering I've never been over there)... Should I make the effort to go to Texas next year, or wait until they hit Orlando again (rumoured) the year after?


Have you READ the fan reviews of Orlando?

25 is going to be a really, really big one. Being a huge milestone and all...


If HHH is on now, and The Highlight Reel is left, what shite have we got for the majority of the 2nd hour?

[DarKCentaur]

Obviously, they can't dub in the CM Punk chants in NY :roll:

[Londoner]

Did Lillian just announce Cade and Murdoch as winners?

LOL if so, i didnt pay attention

[owenbrown]

So there is gonna be some shitty main event match or the Highlight Reel to close the show.

OR

Cena interferes in this match and it becomes a tag match as the main event.

[NeanderCarl]

F that. Wait till it comes back to MSG. WM20 was off the freakin' charts. Except I forgot who won that night.

I remember Eddie Guerrero stood in the ring at the end of the night, hugging himself. Iconic image right there.

MSG only hold about 20K fans though, right? I got literally no chance of getting hold of tickets if they go back there.

[Gerard]

If HHH is on now, and The Highlight Reel is left, what shite have we got for the majority of the 2nd hour?

Wonder if big shows there tonight.

[KingofOldSchool]

So what. They're gonna slowly seperate the tag teams? First London and Kendrick, now Cadoch?


Or all of them come back weeks later teaming with a former member of another team.

Trevor Murdoch and Paul London

Lance Cade and Brian Kendrick

Shad and Domino

JTG and Deuce

John Morrison and Hardcore Holly

The Miz and CAWdy Rhodes

[Londoner]

fuck knows what else they can fill the 2nd hour with

[Gerard]

Here comes caveman woo

[Londoner]

fuckers they missed the start of hhhs entrance

[Johnny Vegas]

Last week's crowd makes this one look like mimes.

tbh, i see kendrick using the 'b/c of me, we've been winning' argument to go heel

[KingofOldSchool]

MAIN EVENT TIME AT THE TOP OF HOUR TWO!

[Londoner]

am so close to 8,000 btw

[rob11]

fuck knows what else they can fill the 2nd hour with
Wow, Orton/Bradshow didn't even get tv entrances. Even Val got one.

[DarKCentaur]

LOL no entrance for JBL and Orton? They're SO jobbing

[Gerard]

I love how old big nose has to get the last entrance despite the fact that champions usually have the "grand" entrance.

[KingofOldSchool]

lol the champ doesn't even get his entrance

[Londoner]

8,000 POSTS!

LOL orton and JBL didnt get an entrance

[Azriel]

Hmm, they must want to get this match done and over with.

[Fabien Barthez]

Wonder if big shows there tonight.


So Khali can nearly square up to him, and then do an abysmal job of pretending to crap his pants?

I hope he's not.

[DarKCentaur]

JR can't be serious, can he?

[Volchok]

Wait so wtf is the main event?

[Londoner]

some main event, they cut out two entrances and miss the start of hhhs entrance

[Innovator]

HHH gets his entrance, Orton, not so much

[DarKCentaur]

"The only time the champ and his #1 contender have tagged on Raw"

???????

[ClockShot]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

HAWKINS IS CLOSING!

[KingofOldSchool]

Maybe the Highlight Reel will be last or Cena will come out and Regal announce a 2-on-2 for later tonight?

[Innovator]

HHH = jacked

Orton = ripped

JBL =.....round

[Gerard]

So Khali can nearly square up to him, and then do an abysmal job of pretending to crap his pants?

I hope he's not.

Its worth it just to see someone that can't sell something as basic as a punch. :lol:

[Innovator]

GOD I HATE YOU HAWKINS

[dablackguy]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

HAWKINS IS CLOSING!

Give the guy a break

[Innovator]

Whats bigger, Orton's ego or JBL's boobs?

[Londoner]

JBL really can't wrestle at all

[KingofOldSchool]

HHH = jacked

Orton = ripped

JBL =.....round

JBL = Justa Bit Lumpy

[Gerard]

Whats bigger, Orton's ego or JBL's boobs?

They both bow down to trips nose.

[Innovator]

JBL shouldn't stomp, the jiggle is hypnotic

[dablackguy]

An hour of Cena for hour 2?

[KingofOldSchool]

Whats bigger, Orton's ego or JBL's boobs?

JBL's boobs by a cup.

[Fabien Barthez]

I think JBL is great. One of the most realistic workers on the roster in my eyes. And he is good at getting his character over.

[KingofOldSchool]

THE GARVIN STOMP!

[NeanderCarl]

fuck knows what else they can fill the 2nd hour with

Let's see....

Cryme Tyme "auction"
Softcore and CAWdy
Jawwwwwwn Cena needs an opponent for Backlash
The Big Slow
Mr Kennedy
Highlight Reel, maybe resulting in some kind of tag team match main event?

[Innovator]

If there is no Cena tonight I'll be so happy

[Londoner]

he maybe good on the mic, but in the ring he does fuck all

[Londoner]

jbl i mean

[Londoner]

i mean ffs a clothesline is his finisher

[dablackguy]

Wow. Someone DOES care enough to call out and explain moves

[Gerard]

Looks like jbl's elbow has been steroid tested.

[dablackguy]

NOT the guy you'd expect either

[Gerard]

yawn

[Innovator]

And the WWE champ jobs

[dablackguy]

Of course, pin Orton.. why not

[ClockShot]

*yawn*

Long enough.

[KingofOldSchool]

BAHGAWDKANGITSTEHPEDIRGREE

[Linkbowler]

I'm just going to come out and say it.

Fuck triple threat matches.

[Gerard]

that was an ending even nostradamus couldn't have forseen.

[Fox]

CENA!

[Fabien Barthez]

Regal.... You Suck.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Innovator]

GOD DAMMIT

[Gerard]

oh fuck off

[dablackguy]

damnit

[Volchok]

I WANT MY TITLE :(!

[SammyG]

WOOOOOOOOOO U CANT SEE ME

[KingofOldSchool]

AWWW FUCK IT ALL

[Fox]

so fucking predictable

[Innovator]

I WAS SO CLOSE TO BEING HAPPY

[Volchok]

god i hate cena.

[Londoner]

god damnit its superfuckingcunt

btw is it just me or are the themes a bit fucked tonight

[Innovator]

YOU LOST, GET OVER IT

[ClockShot]

Whew.

[owenbrown]

GOD DAMN IT NO! NOT SUPER NO-SELL CENA!!!:foc::foc::foc::foc::foc::foc::foc::foc:

[dablackguy]

You Suck chants at Cena lol

[Innovator]

YOU GOT PINNED AT MANIA

[BigDaddyCool]

Booooooooo, Cena.

[Fabien Barthez]

Songs Of Praise? Do you think he watched Antiques Roadshow afterwards?

[KingofOldSchool]

Does the proposition involve Cena leaving? I'm all for it.

[Gerard]

Just everyone beat cena down ffs.

[Innovator]

YOU DONT DESERVE THE MATCH DAMMIT

[Volchok]

Cena like sucks the life out of wrestling events

[Londoner]

knew it was too good to be true cena being out of the title scene

[BigDaddyCool]

Seriously, Cena you haven't beat anyone lately.

[Innovator]

Not funny Cena

[Fox]

gay jokes. wow.

[KingofOldSchool]

Cena lost at both NWO & MANIA he's had his chances

[BigDaddyCool]

Cena with gay joke.

[Linkbowler]

Was that a totally failed masturbation joke?

[SammyG]

ROFL no one laughing at Cena's jokes

[Londoner]

so that match was pointless

[McLegend]

That gay joke Cena just said went over like a Lead Zepplin.

[dablackguy]

Regal: NO

[KingofOldSchool]

LAWLZ ORTON LIKES IT IN THE ARSE LAWLZ

[Londoner]

god i hate regal on the mic

[ClockShot]

Don't do it Regal. :roll:

[Fox]

lol @ "You suck" chants and then the girls and little kids chanting "Cena"

[NeanderCarl]

Cena reminds me of Scrappy Doo.

[BigDaddyCool]

Regal should say no.

[owenbrown]

Why can't these fans be like the WCW fans in the 90's and throw shit in the ring when they saw something they didn't like i.e. AT JOHN CENA?!

[dablackguy]

damnit NO

[Londoner]

it does feel like hes just remembering his lines rather than actually caring about it

[Fox]

lol "Triple Haitch" he never misses an opportunity that Regal

[SammyG]

omg retarded.

[Londoner]

hmm i wonder who will win

[dablackguy]

At least make it an elimination style fatal 4 way

[Innovator]

Poor Randy

[BigDaddyCool]

Cena better lose. :mad:

[Gerard]

TRIPLE HAITCH!!


o and great that cunts in a match tonight..

[KingofOldSchool]

Gee I wonder what will happen.

[owenbrown]

Spoiler: Cena <s>overcomes</s> no-sells the odds and wins. :shifty:

[Fox]

So, I think I'll watch the highlight reel and call it a night for RAW. Halo 3 is calling me.

[dablackguy]

WWE circa 2008: Make your title matches as much of a clusterfuck as possible

[BigDaddyCool]

I blame SammyG for this Cena crap. I mean HHH adds something to the match, but Cena is forced.

[Gerard]

Is half the roster off sick or something if theyre rehashing basically the same main event twice?

Probably recovering after the ric flair after raw drink and fuck fest.

[McLegend]

Seriously was that worst gay joke Cena has ever done?

[Londoner]

jericho needs to save us from this hellhole

[KingofOldSchool]

I bet Yes wins the voting and Batista will cry

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>JBL is only in the match as fodder for Cena</font> :-\

[Londoner]

its like they're booking it for him to do so

[Fabien Barthez]

Regal!!! You are better than this!!!

Khali for GM ffs!! :mad:

Raw blows tonight. This Highlight Reel better be good.

[dablackguy]

Cause HHH can't job

[Azriel]

Well, at least the Yanks won

They really need to overhaul Cena's character, and JBL should go back to announcing

[rob11]

I think Khali as gm would be hilarious.

[Innovator]

1/4 of the population is retarded

[Fox]

I'll laugh if JBL jobs twice in one night. I think a DQ finish is more likely, or Cena loses and then wins his spot the week before Backlash, just so he can overcome the odds again.

[Fox]

1/4 of the population is retarded

I think it's more like 3/5.

[Gerard]

Khali for GM ffs!! :mad:




Khali as gm and umaga as his assistant. Probably be the best tv wwe has ever done.

[Fox]

God I hate Cawdy.

[SammyG]

Tag Titles being defended? really?

[Fabien Barthez]

1/4 of the population is retarded

wot u torkin bowt mister?

[KingofOldSchool]

BALDCORE AND CAWDY

[NeanderCarl]

BROOKLYN!

[ClockShot]

Let's try this again.............

[NeanderCarl]

Okay...

[Innovator]

I think it's more like 3/5.
Test population

4 guys in the main event at Backlash

Cena is retarded

[Innovator]

GOD DAMMIT WE WANT CRYME TIME

[SammyG]

YES, put the straps on Carlito and Santino, PLEASE.

[Volchok]

fuck carlito

[KingofOldSchool]

YES! SANTINO COULD BECOME A CHAMPION AGAIN!

[Fox]

It's Santito.

[ClockShot]

Awwwwwwwww. 0-2.

[Londoner]

Regal!!! You are better than this!!!

.

Do you agree it just sounds like he's trying to remember his lines rather than actually caring that much? He was much better in his first run as gm as far as i remember.

Oh ffs another shit tag match. Fuck it im going after the highlight reel. Don't want to stay up to see the superfuckingcunt win.

[Johnny Vegas]

lol man i keep forgetting these guys are tag champs

[Gerard]

Does lillian have to fucking say CARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLIIIITOOOOOOO every cunting week.:mad:

[SammyG]

lolllllll already at Santino

[KingofOldSchool]

Yes flex those muscles Santino!

[BigDaddyCool]

I think it's more like 9/8.

[NeanderCarl]

CAWdy looks upbeat to you? I got the insider info: he recently acquired 10 WWE Dollars, and purchased a Dusty Rhodes poster for his locker room. Chuffed to bits.

How the hell does Softcore Holly still have a job??

[ClockShot]

Are those leg warmers or kneepads CAWdy got on?

[Fox]

I don't know who I hate more, Carlito and his horrible afro, or CAWdy and his ridiculous blue booties. Why do you wear knee pads if you never put them on your knees, CAWdy?!

[Azriel]

Well, hopefully Santino is done with the Maria business

[Gerard]

The crowd are really into this match, this rivals hogan\rock at mania 18.

[Fabien Barthez]

I guess they have to start the rebuild of the Tag Team division somewhere. They have just killed it to a point where its makes you groan at the thought of it.

[jerichoholicninja]

I read that Carlito said that the Carlito character can only be a heel. What exactly is the Carlito character. Some guy with a wierd voice who spits apples. Great character.

[Londoner]

i bet the crowd are wishing they didn't waste their money on this bullshit

[Azriel]

Not true, he did pretty good as a face I thought

[Johnny Vegas]

LOL was that tag thing legit

[XL]

I don't know who I hate more, Carlito and his horrible afro, or CAWdy and his ridiculous blue booties. Why do you wear knee pads if you never put them on your knees, CAWdy?!
Did you ever ask Flair the same question?

[Fox]

How is this the A-Show?

[KingofOldSchool]

You suck Hardcore!

[Gerard]

Wonder if vince is staying off the air for a while, not officially seen him since mania or before it.

[Fox]

Did you ever ask Flair the same question?


Flair can do whatever the fuck he wants. Woo!

[Londoner]

fuckin hell this sucks

[Gerard]

Did you ever ask Flair the same question?


Flairs actual answer to that was he does it because he has skinny calves.

[KingofOldSchool]

COME ON SANTINO!

[Fabien Barthez]

Do you agree it just sounds like he's trying to remember his lines rather than actually caring that much? He was much better in his first run as gm as far as i remember.

.


Yeah, he just seems to have lost all his charisma. I guess his character is a bit muddled right now. He isn't a comedy character any more, he is kind of trying to be evil to an extent, but failing. So badly.

[KingofOldSchool]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

[Londoner]

even smackdowns worst shows arent as shit as this...

[NeanderCarl]

Think the Flair vs Rhodes feud could continue, with Reid vs Cody down the line?

[ClockShot]

A diving fucking headbutt for the win.

Now I've seen everything.

[Gerard]

Thats what, santinos second winning pin over male opponents?

[Fox]

Worst diving headbutt ever.

[KingofOldSchool]

Oh it's non title?

GOD DAMMIT!

[Fox]

Also, when was the last time Rhodes and Holly defended the Tag Titles?

[NeanderCarl]

After one of the best/most surprising Raw's in recent memory last week, this show has turned into a giant steaming turd.

[Xerzes]

Seriously. When's the last time there was a tag team match, involving the tag team champions, which was not a non-title match? This is ridiculous.

[Londoner]

Also, when was the last time Rhodes and Holly defended the Tag Titles?

i was wondering that and couldn't find an answer

[Gerard]

So whats up next, mr hype and his highlight reel. Thrilling. :|

[KingofOldSchool]

Best diving headbutt ever.

I concur.

[Fabien Barthez]

Impact was better than this.

[Innovator]

I'm starting to hate truth.com

[Gerard]

negros!!

[Innovator]

EWING

[ClockShot]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[KingofOldSchool]

CRYME TYME!

[KingofOldSchool]

WRESTLEMANIA CLEARANCE SALE!

[NeanderCarl]

Let's see....

Cryme Tyme "auction"
Softcore and CAWdy
Jawwwwwwn Cena needs an opponent for Backlash
The Big Slow
Mr Kennedy
Highlight Reel, maybe resulting in some kind of tag team match main event?

Let's see... that's the first three checked off. :D

[BigDaddyCool]

Black people are hilarous.

[Londoner]

LOL WTF

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL she probably gave it to them "personally"

[Innovator]

I missed Cryme Tyme

[NeanderCarl]

JR and Lawler look as bored as they are boring.

[Londoner]

get to the highlight reel already

[Azriel]

And theres number four

[Londoner]

i guess big show will squash someone

[KingofOldSchool]

GARLALWBBBARRGHAAAWARRR!!!

[Londoner]

how the hell will these two even manage to wrestle each other

[Londoner]

show/khali that is

[Londoner]

hhh is greatness

[NeanderCarl]

Let's see....

<strike>Cryme Tyme "auction"</strike>
<strike>Softcore and CAWdy</strike>
<strike>Jawwwwwwn Cena needs an opponent for Backlash</strike>
<strike>The Big Slow</strike>
Mr Kennedy
Highlight Reel, <strike>maybe resulting in some kind of tag team match main event?</strike>

[KingofOldSchool]

And you're fat...no one listens to fat people.

[BigDaddyCool]

get to the highlight reel already

He can't botch that up with ring rust can he?

[Volchok]

have i ever said how much i hate cena?

[Azriel]

HHH speaks the truth :lol:

[DarKCentaur]

KENNEDY.

[owenbrown]

I think they should change the name of the next PPV from Backlash to Clusterfuck. If I was the sponsor for this PPV I would pull all my advertising.

[Fabien Barthez]

WAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOO, I never give in,
WAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOO, I never give up...


I've never been.... well, so happy to see Cryme Time..... ever.

Give them the Tag Titles. If Jack Tunney was still in charge, Hardcore and Cody would have been stripped for non- title defence ages ago.

Another failure by Regal? I'd say so.


How can one video package highlight Khali's non-existant wrestling skills just as much as his lack of acting talents? The wonders.

[Londoner]

*overlooks bdcs post as if he doesnt exist*

[NeanderCarl]

Kennedy vs Super Crazy now then?

Perhaps a Ron Killings, Paul Burchill or DH Smith appearance?

(:lol: Sorry, I know April Fools was last week)

[Londoner]

oh ffs

[Gerard]

oh jesus christ not again

[Londoner]

two womens matches?!?!?!?!

[BigDaddyCool]

I would like for just once that a heel/face mixed team actaully works well together and not because they are forced too.

[KingofOldSchool]

lol Maria "my push is over" Maria

[Gerard]

2 fucking womens matches in one night...........

[Azriel]

MARIA!!! :drool:

[KingofOldSchool]

BAHGAWDGLAMAZONKANGTHEGLAMAZON!

[Gerard]

So going by past history since maria was in playboy she will now be able to put up some offence in this match?

[Londoner]

This is a sign that they're trying to make this the worst raw ever

[NeanderCarl]

Nattie Neidhart and Beth Phoenix should form an identical twins tag team.

[BigDaddyCool]

*overlooks bdcs post as if he doesnt exist*

I SAID HE IS RUSTY!

Naw, I'm just messing with you. He should do fine as an interviewy.

[Azriel]

So Maria gets pitted against Beth, while Mickie tags up with Ashley? :wtf:

[BigDaddyCool]

Nattie Neidhart and Beth Phoenix should form an identical twins tag team.

And fight Kong?

[Londoner]

this is bullshit, this is bullshit, this is bullshit=what i would be chanting if i were there

[owenbrown]

Speaking of titles not being defended, when is the last time the Women's title was defended?

[NeanderCarl]

I would like for just once that a heel/face mixed team actaully works well together and not because they are forced too.

Like Lance Storm and Chris Candido?

[Gerard]

Funny about 4 months ago this match woulda been over inside of a minute...

[ClockShot]

Nice. Beth Phoenix. This should be quick.

[Linkbowler]

Worst. Texas Cloverleaf. Ever.

[NeanderCarl]

And fight Kong?

Bundy still wrestles? I'm all for it.

[BigDaddyCool]

Shit that was a move.
