Preview:When Judgment comes
May 12, 2008

Judgment Day will be only six days away when Raw returns from north of the border this Monday night, and the Raw Superstars will have one last chance to gain momentum inside Detroit’s Joe Louis Arena.

One individual making his way to the Motor City for Raw is John Cena. Following last week's announcement that the Chain Gang Soldier will clash with JBL at Judgment Day, Cena may be on hand to mix some pre-match words (or fists) with the self-proclaimed "wrestling god."

Since tapping to Cena in the WWE Championship Fatal Four Way Match at Backlash, JBL has taken out his aggression on the likes of Highlander Robbie and DH Smith. Will Cena's return to Raw this week be enough to keep the Longhorn Loudmouth from seeking another victim? Or might JBL want to make Cena that victim, mere days before Judgment Day?

Detroit may be Hockeytown, U.S.A., but this Monday, it could become Blackoutville. For two consecutive weeks, General Manager William Regal has pulled the plug; first, he took Raw off the air two weeks ago in the middle of a Triple H vs. Randy Orton WWE Title Match, and last week, he turned the lights out as Orton battled CM Punk in Toronto.

Regal has shown that he has no qualms about taking Raw off the air if he is disrespected, and WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon (statement). Will our fans in Detroit make it through the full two hours uninterrupted? If they don’t, will those in attendance at “The Joe” shower Regal with the signature squid usually reserved for celebrating a Red Wings hat trick?

Orton and Regal’s number one enemies, WWE Champion Triple H and Mr. Kennedy respectively, did make it through their match last week. Unfortunately, they lost, as Kennedy & The Game had to do battle against the entire ECW roster. To make matters worse for Triple H, he survived a wild post-match melee only to be flattened by an RKO from his Judgment Day opponent. On the way to their Steel Cage showdown, who will get the last laugh? And will Regal throw anything more at Kennedy in response to his besmirching several weeks ago?

Also last week in a WWE Mobile on AT&T exclusive video, a massive match was made for Judgment Day: Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels. The battle between Y2J and HBK has been heating up ever since Michaels’ win over Batista at Backlash. Jericho has accused the Showstopper of faking an injury to win that match; whether he is or he isn’t, HBK’s injury didn’t stop him from teaming with Y2J to defeat WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison last Monday night. With less than a week left before their pay-per-view battle, how will Jericho and Michaels finish their preparations?

Find out all this in more as the final Raw before Judgment Day comes to you live from Detroit, Monday at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

[Londoner]

Might stay up for this tonight.

[Indifferent Clox]

Jeff Hardy

that is all

[KingofOldSchool]

Jeff Hardy

is baked out of his mind

[Indifferent Clox]

Yeah so am I... Problem?

They haven't made Kennedy v. Regal Official yet, I'm guessing they could have a Jeff hardy Match at JD as well.

[KingofOldSchool]

Yeah so am I... Problem?


Oregano doesn't count.

[ClockShot]

Shit. Cena returns tonight.

[jaycool2k]

Anyone got a stream link for this? Can't see anything on SopCast. Thanks :)

[KingofOldSchool]

Anyone got a stream link for this? Can't see anything on SopCast. Thanks :)

Who the fuck are you?

[Juan]

He's jaycool, duh!

[jaycool2k]

Who the fuck are you?

Thanks for the warm welcome, feeling all special now... :)

[Indifferent Clox]

Oregano doesn't count.

Does oragami?

[Indifferent Clox]

Thanks for the warm welcome, feeling all special now... :)

you should.

after my first 16 posts they had already killed my puppy, mother, and sued me for some reason or another.

[jaycool2k]

you should.

after my first 16 posts they had already killed my puppy, mother, and sued me for some reason or another.

Everyone needs a beatdown when they are new to something, feel free to pass on the shit you got if you want. :y:

[Xero]

You know what would be hilarious? If God made a run-in during one of Regal's blackouts.

[Indifferent Clox]

Everyone needs a beatdown when they are an idiot like me

Yeah so shut the fuck up you dumb cunt.

What the fuck is your goddamn purpose?

I bet you got herpes from your boyfriend.

Go kill yourself and never post again.


:foc::mad::rant:


(damn that felt amazing)



:cool::p:lol:


(ok now I feel really bad)


:wavesad::'(:(



I'm sorry....

[FourFifty]

'sup bitches! How's everyone doing?

[NeanderCarl]

Evening all.

[RVDmark]

you should.

after my first 16 posts they had already killed my puppy, mother, and sued me for some reason or another.

Your puppy is still alive, just pay the money.

[FourFifty]

I LOVE REGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Innovator]

Awesome heelism

[KingofOldSchool]

Is Regal the new Sabu?

[Londoner]

lmao god save the queen national anthem. :D loving this regal gimmick

[FourFifty]

I smell a spot with a plant....

[NeanderCarl]

Wonder if Regal is paying royalties to Lord Alfred Hayes' estate?

[Innovator]

Hey Mickie is in the opening segment

[Hanso Amore]

Mickie is so fucjking hot.

[Londoner]

I hate it when they get the audience to act.

[KingofOldSchool]

Oh boy he's going to throw out a plant, whatta heel.

[KingofOldSchool]

Mickie!

[Innovator]

....Ugh

[Corndad]

Get em Mickie!

[FourFifty]

I've always loved an over the top power trip. Seriously, Regal is a mint.











until Cena comes out.

[Innovator]

Krispy's boy

[NeanderCarl]

I reckon Regal should do a Bernard Black gimmick. If he was drunk with a cigarette in his lips during these power crazed moments, imagine how much sweeter it would be.

[Londoner]

Oh look is John Cunt, err..i mean Cena.

[Hanso Amore]

NO WHY DOES CENA HAVE TO RUIN THIS

Calling it now, Cena vs Everyone tonight.

[Innovator]

I would've been happier to see the Disco Inferno

[KingofOldSchool]

Oh great, Mickie is saved. :roll:

[Kris P Lettus]

My boy!!

[BigDaddyCool]

Please throw Cena out of the arena

[Corndad]

Wow.

[FourFifty]

So it's a heel that everyone loves and a face that everyone hates.... love how this is working.

[BigDaddyCool]

Regal is suppose to be a heel, Cena you retard.

[FourFifty]

HE DID NOT JUST SAY THAT ABOUT VINCE!!!! :vmad: :rant:

[FourFifty]

E-Mails from Marks- the new Cena interview segment.

[Corndad]

wcw thunder bad lol

[Innovator]

:lol: WCW Thunder bad

[Theo Dious]

Did he just say Stasiak?

[KingofOldSchool]

Shawn Stasiak?

[FourFifty]

They'll chant Fire Regal, but not Fire Mike? WTF?

[BigDaddyCool]

lol, WCW thunder bad. That was pretty good.

*has fourfifty thrown out of the arena*

[Innovator]

god damn poop sjoke

[KingofOldSchool]

....because fan e-mails will certainly sway Regal.

[Theo Dious]

Also, are they trying to get Cena face pops by having him say things like "Vince McMahon is insane?"

[KingofOldSchool]

Those emails are actually Cena hate mail, he just changed it to spite Regal.

[BigDaddyCool]

Fire Cena *clap clap clap-clap clap*

[Kris P Lettus]

He hasn't been on Raw cause he was pounding Coors Light with me..

[Londoner]

wtf

[Corndad]

the hell? did Regal just turn back tweener lol

[Hanso Amore]

God I hate cena

[BigDaddyCool]

*has koos thrown out of the thread*

[Hanso Amore]

Mr. MITB loses matches every week....

the King and GM of Raw gets bitched by Cena

great booking

[KingofOldSchool]

Oh great here comes the Boooo the evil foreigners angle.

[Innovator]

Really Cena has the most crowd pleasing dialogue written for him

[Londoner]

why is it regal only listens to cena, bit odd.

[BigDaddyCool]

Motorcity? Are we going to see the Guns? Are we going to see Nash?

[FourFifty]

So, when did Cena drop out of the school of Foley Cheap Pops?

[Corndad]

more lilian singing lol

[Londoner]

*turns channel over*

[Theo Dious]

Great. It's not enough for Cena to pretend to be black, now he's got Lillian doing it.

[NeanderCarl]

Oh shut the fuck up, Lilian.

[Hanso Amore]

This is simply horrible

[BigDaddyCool]

Booooooooooooooo, Lillian sucks. Bring out Jillian.

[KingofOldSchool]

Jillian Garcia, you suck

[Londoner]

that was such a shit ending to the promo

[Innovator]

Jericho apologizes to HBK...riiiiiiiiiiight

[loopydate]

I missed last week, but wasn't Kennedy feuding with Regal? Wouldn't it have made more sense having him come out than Cena?

[FourFifty]

Calling it now for the main event:
Cena vs Orton, JBL comes out, beats up Cena, Regal comes out, suspends him, and then brings hi back 30 seconds later.

[Londoner]

lillian was fucking awful

[Londoner]

Exactly my thoughts, loopydate.

[KingofOldSchool]

*has koos thrown out of the thread*

*has bdc thrown off the internet*

[KingofOldSchool]

Sanlito for tag champs!

[Londoner]

*has bdc thrown off the internet*

if only that were true....

[Xerzes]

Hot. Rod.

[NeanderCarl]

Ahhh put Piper on commentary for old time's sake.

[Londoner]

let me guess, piper costs carlito/santino the match.

[Theo Dious]

I haven't watched in a few weeks... what does Piper have to do with this?

[FourFifty]

Victoria E Mia!!!!!!!

[Xerzes]

Didn't really like any of the options for new Santino shirt, but I guess that was the best one.

[Innovator]

I'd love to see Bobcore job to Santino

[FourFifty]

What's the cage doing up there?

[NeanderCarl]

I'm all for using Piper whenever they can (as long as his actual matches are few and far between) but aces in their places... put a fucking mic in his hand. Every time.

Why the hell would they not put him on colour for this match??

[FourFifty]

Hmph, Nascar.

[Londoner]

Why the hell would they not put him on colour for this match??

Cause that would make sense.

[Londoner]

Man, i did not see that coming.

[Innovator]

evencawdy ddt

[FourFifty]

I gotta say this- I still amost care about CAWdy. He's really turning into his own person.

[Xerzes]

Shocking and exciting.

No, wait. Meh. I meant "Meh."

[Londoner]

Yeah cawdy's stepping up it seems.

[KingofOldSchool]

Yipee CawdyCore retains

[NeanderCarl]

Fuck off is Shawn Michaels' knee injury real... if he missed a WrestleMania with a dubious knee injury, he's certainly not gonna make freakin' Judgement Day with a legit one.

[BigDaddyCool]

*has bdc thrown off the internet*

*Sneaks back in through a series of tubes*

[KingofOldSchool]

ANOTHER text voting thing involving HBK?

[Londoner]

HBK recently admitted his injury was just a work anyway, seems a bit odd for them to go through with it.

[KingofOldSchool]

*Sneaks back in through a series of tubes*

*hires JBL to guard the internet borders*

[FourFifty]

ANOTHER text voting thing involving HBK?

Just be thankful they're doing this again and not the return of Katie Vick.

[Corndad]

that whole angle is gonna be pointless if Taker just wins the title back.

[BigDaddyCool]

*hires JBL to guard the internet borders*

BDC and JBL are tight. We hang out at Republican events.

[FourFifty]

..........KENNEDY!!!!!!!!!!

[BigDaddyCool]

Kennedy Kennedy is still around?

[FourFifty]

As much as I love Kenendy, I think it would be money if Regal cut the mic on Kennedy.

[Londoner]

that 'i am misterr kennedy' crap is really fucking old now.

[Innovator]

KENNEDY KENNEDY vs. .....what the fuck is snitsky growing on his chin

[Londoner]

As much as I love Kenendy, I think it would be money if Regal cut the mic on Kennedy.

Ill'd love that to happen.

[Corndad]

snisky even makes my whore of an ex look attractive.

[Theo Dious]

Kennedy Kennedy is still around?

SNITSKY is still around?

[KingofOldSchool]

Snitsky's growing his facial hair back!

[BigDaddyCool]

<s>Kennedy Kennedy</s> Snitski is still around?

[NeanderCarl]

How much muscle has Snitsky lost? Jesus.

He'll be gone before long. Waste of space.

[BigDaddyCool]

SNITSKY is still around?

:mad: Shut up.

k4l

[KingofOldSchool]

Snitsky's facial hair > Kennedy Kennedy

[BigDaddyCool]

You know if Snitski didn't kill Kane's baby, do you think he would have better teeth now?

[Londoner]

Gotta admit despite the thing about saying his name twice, im hoping kennedy gets pushed properly as a face. Just seems the right time for him.

[Corndad]

Teen Wolf Reference lol

[Londoner]

is there a real need for this segment

[KingofOldSchool]

lol oh god not a Mickie/Cena hookup.

[BigDaddyCool]

Trevor is going to be pissed.

[FourFifty]

.........what was the point of that Cena/Mickie skit?

[Londoner]

oh great more ads ffs

[Innovator]

Cena does a great Orton impression

[FourFifty]

Anyone know if the Hardys dvd is worth 20 bucks?

[Johnny Vegas]

That Cena/Mickie promo was tight

[KingofOldSchool]

Cena does a great Orton impression

Just wait until next week when he does his best Adamle and calls Mickie, Mikey.

[Londoner]

I strongly disagree with you vegas.

[KingofOldSchool]

I read in the Observer that Ashley was suppose to get Mickie's push.

[sugar butt]

cena's gonna pound mickie tonight

[KingofOldSchool]

lol Beth doesn't have anything to hold up anymore.

[KingofOldSchool]

I think this is the most airtime Mickie's gotten since her angle with Trish.

[KingofOldSchool]

lol Beth and Melina split already?

[FourFifty]

What's the point of this?

[Innovator]

Where is the hooker at?

[KingofOldSchool]

THE M&M with the win!

[KingofOldSchool]

Where is the hooker at?

She had a last minute offer.

[Innovator]

His right knee buckled...then he limped with his left knee...now it's back to his right

[FourFifty]

Ron Killings theme was better than that match.

[Innovator]

I'm happy that an old school cage match is being used, less gimmicks attached to it the better.

[Innovator]

Ron Killings theme was better than that match.
WHATS UP

[KingofOldSchool]

His right knee buckled...then he limped with his left knee...now it's back to his right

It's been a while...

[Innovator]

WHATS UP

[Corndad]

Just thinking, bet Regal will make orton/cena a cage match. Didnt someone say there is one hanging above ring?

[FourFifty]

WHATS UP!!!!!!

[Theo Dious]

Anyone know if the Hardys dvd is worth 20 bucks?

It's not bad. Matt's half is a bit more interesting, since it shows his early days as a small-time promoter (which I had so not known about him.) Jeff's is kind of abstract. Some good non-ladder matches on there (seeing as the Ladder Match DVD is about 1/3 Hardy anyways.)

[Innovator]

It's been a while...
Costanze syndrome

[KingofOldSchool]

GETTIN' ROWDY!

BOUT TO MOVE SOME THANGS

[FourFifty]

Just thinking, bet Regal will make orton/cena a cage match. Didnt someone say there is one hanging above ring?

If you have tivo or something like that rewind to when Bobcore was on the top turnbuckle posing before the match. Cage spotted.

[Innovator]

WHATS UP!

[FourFifty]

I'm the hottest thing burning since a bowl of grits!




....I still have no idea wtf that means.

[Innovator]

JERICHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[KingofOldSchool]

I'm waiting for Batista to be named Special Ref in the HBK/Y2J match.

[Innovator]

I'd love for HBK to be faking this entire thing...freshen up the character

[KingofOldSchool]

It was a Red Rooster?

[KingofOldSchool]

I'd love for HBK to be faking this entire thing...freshen up the character

Me too.

He superkicks Jericho and starts to prance around.

[FourFifty]

I'm waiting for Batista to be named Special Ref in the HBK/Y2J match.

And then at the Night of Champions it'll be Y2J vs Bats with HBK as the ref for the returning Euro title.

[KingofOldSchool]

But of course they will go the predictable route and have Jericho cheapshot Shawn.

[ClockShot]

Evening everyone.

Seems I didn't miss much.

[FourFifty]

But of course they will go the predictable route and have Jericho cheapshot Shawn.

SPOILER WARNING :rant:

[FourFifty]

:D

[Corndad]

well thats interesting.

[Theo Dious]

SHAWN FOUND HIS SMILE!!!!

[KingofOldSchool]

Batista is an oaf, he is easily fooled.

[Londoner]

weird promo

[ClockShot]

The hell kind of a fall was that?

[Theo Dious]

I think that was supposed to be a heel move... and HBK gets chanted for...

[FourFifty]

.....so who's the face and who's the heel?

[Londoner]

lol@hbk at the end

[Innovator]

Awesome....WE GET JERICHO/HBK III BABY

[KingofOldSchool]

Soooo...who is suppose to be the heel?

The fans are cheering the phony.


But enough about John Cena...

[FourFifty]

I'd love for HBK to be faking this entire thing...freshen up the character

Great call... Gotta spread some rep for that one.

WHATS UP!!!!!!!!

[Johnny Vegas]

LoL why was Jericho laying like that

[FourFifty]

Soooo...who is suppose to be the heel?

The fans are cheering the phony.


But enough about John Cena...

*rimshot*

[Innovator]

I see Batista getting involved now

[Innovator]

DRUGGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FourFifty]

JEFF FUCKING HARDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Corndad]

Hardy...

[Innovator]

60 days flew by

[NeanderCarl]

They should boo him out of the arena.

[FourFifty]

For the love of God and all that is holy, STAY FUCKING CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ClockShot]

Jeff Hardy returns.

Didn't even notice he was gone.

[KingofOldSchool]

The Judgment Day song is "Take It All"...where is Ashley when you need her?

[FourFifty]

They should boo him out of the arena.

Didn't that happen in RoH?

[Nark Order]

THE EXTREME DRUG ADDICT

[Innovator]

Promo about getting caught...CMON

[Theo Dious]

Please, Jeff.

Please, please, PLEASE don't fuck it up this time.

PLEASE.

[Corndad]

[Johnny Vegas]

[NeanderCarl]

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but...

his music still sucks.

[Innovator]

The Judgment Day song is "Take It All"...where is Ashley when you need her?
....


*slow clap*

[KingofOldSchool]

DH Smith gets beaten by people like Snitsky on Heat for violating Wellness once, Jeff gets a big hero's welcome for violating Wellness TWICE.

[BigDaddyCool]

Jeff Harvey!!!!!

[FourFifty]

REGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Corndad]

Regal cut the mic lol

[KingofOldSchool]

lol Regal doesn't like drug addicts

[ClockShot]

REGAL! YES!

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMAGA!

[BigDaddyCool]

Umanga?

[Corndad]

Umanga!

[Nark Order]

NOT ON MR. REGAL'S WATCH!!

[Innovator]

Hasn't Jeff beaten Umanga many times?

[Xerzes]

The hell? Umanga still has a job?

[KingofOldSchool]

lol Umanga vs. Hardy part 502181

[BigDaddyCool]

Umaga is going to kill your dog Harvey.

[KingofOldSchool]

True fact: Jeff got that outfit at Goodwill, he's poor now ya know?

[NeanderCarl]

Is it a rule that whenever Jeff or Umaga get suspended, their last match/first match back has to be against each other?

[BigDaddyCool]

Lets go Harvey!

[Innovator]

Question is....does Jeff get back to where he was or does he do the job job

[Innovator]

......was that 3?

[ClockShot]

Yeah. Sure.

[Innovator]

....I guess so

[KingofOldSchool]

Hmmmmm....okay?

[NeanderCarl]

Umaga, the unstoppable monster, pinned in a sub three minute match, by a Jeff Hardy transitional move??

How things change.

[McLegend]

What a huge jobber Umanga is.

[Nark Order]

LOL SQUASH

[Innovator]

Now get off the meth

[Theo Dious]

True fact: Jeff got that outfit at Goodwill, he's poor now ya know?

I think it was donated by MVP.

[FourFifty]

Is there a clear version of Regal's new theme?

[Johnny Vegas]

Ah he was gonna win anyway :heart:

[Innovator]

stay clean fuckstick

[Innovator]

Actually don't, cause Punk is reaping the benefits

[KingofOldSchool]

Umaga loses his mother, but jobs. Hardy gets busted for drugs for the SECOND time and goes over?

That's pure carnie business for ya.

[Xerzes]

Yo yo yo yo.

[FourFifty]

....I don't know which Inno post I support more.....

[ClockShot]

CRYME TYME!

[KingofOldSchool]

From the druggie to the thieves.

[KingofOldSchool]

Actually don't, cause Punk is reaping the benefits

Getting punked by Custom Chucky P?

[Theo Dious]

Question is....does Jeff get back to where he was or does he do the job job

Well, let's see.

When he was suspended he was Main-Eventing the pre-Wrestlemania PPV.

A few minutes ago he was announcing his intentions to go after the Intercontinental title.

Definitely a step backwards.

[Innovator]

I remember Cryme Time being ridiculously over in August at the RAW taping at the Garden

[ClockShot]

Cade and Garth Brooks?

Again? *insert ridiculous number here*

[Innovator]

Fallen Redneck!

[Johnny Vegas]

How many times are these guys gonna fight

[Innovator]

So seriously....how long until Jeff wins the MITB case off of Punk

[KingofOldSchool]

So seriously....how long until Jeff wins the MITB case off of Punk

By Summerslam.



And then he get's busted for Wellness the day after.

[ClockShot]

FUCK!

[KingofOldSchool]

YAY REDNECKS WIN!

[KingofOldSchool]

Time to sing!

[Corndad]

Kick him Cade!

[Xerzes]

It's what I want, too.

[FourFifty]

Great, Capt. Caveman with a song for us.

[Innovator]

Victory song?

[ClockShot]

THE GAMBLER!

[Innovator]
