Official Raw Thread (5/19/08): I hope Kane forgets what day it is

Preview:Judgment passed
May 18, 2008

At Judgment Day, WWE Champion Triple H retained his gold inside the steel cage. It seems like Randy Orton’s attempts to revive the “Age of Orton” and regain the WWE Championship fell short. Will Triple H be looking for a new contender to challenge him? Does Orton have plans of his own to get another title opportunity against The Game?

Shawn Michaels has been a hot topic ever since retiring Hall of Famer Ric Flair at WrestleMania XXIV. With his controversial win over Batista at Backlash and now another controversial victory over Chris Jericho at Judgment Day, HBK seems to be confirming everything The Animal and Y2J have been saying about him. Now, those two competitors - Jericho and Batista - will collide on Raw in an interbrand singles match. The winner meets Michaels at One Night Stand. Who will get their rematch with The Showstopper?

Speaking of one night stands, tonight's edition of Raw marks the single night return of WWE Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's talk segment that started it all: Piper's Pit. This legendary platform for plaid-clad plunder set the stage for many of WWE's most vocal Superstars and their talk shows, from Carlito's Cabana to The Cutting Edge. What coconut-splitting shenanigans might Piper employ on Raw? Who will be sharing the spotlight as the WWE Legend's guest?

John Cena may have won at Judgment Day, but as JBL pointed out after the match, it was Cena, not JBL, that needed to be looked over in the trainer’s room after their match. Will Cena have a response to the Self-Made Millionaire’s post-match statement? Or will the punishment JBL inflicted on Cena force the Chain Gang commander to tend to his wounds for another couple of weeks?

William Regal has been ruling with an iron fist as of late, much to the disgust of our fans and Superstars alike. From blackouts to 14-on-2 matches, Regal has not been afraid to wield his new sense of power with the utmost authority. One man who has not been afraid to lock horns with the Raw GM is Mr. Kennedy. Will the Green Bay loudmouth fall into line and pay Regal the respect he claims he deserves, or will Kennedy gain some respect of his own from the GM?

We’ll find out all the answers to these questions and the fallout from Judgment Day when Monday Night Raw airs live from Kansas City, Mo., at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

[Innovator]

I HEAR VOICES IN MY HEAD

sure you do Orton

[Londoner]

I fucking hope orton changes his theme back

[Londoner]

That was such a shit fucking theme he's changed it to

[KingofOldSchool]

That theme would be better for Al Snow or Colin Delaney or someone like that.

[Innovator]

It's a good theme song, just don't know if it fits Orton

[Londoner]

I caught it when he was in the ring on the replay of the last raw, and i dunno he just didn't seem 'in time' with the music during his entrance if you see what i mean. Wrestlers always have a prepared entrance to their music and it looked as though he was kinda confused.

[KingofOldSchool]

Wrestlers always have a prepared entrance to their music and it looked as though he was kinda confused.

No, that's just everyday Orton.

[KingofOldSchool]

Regal a mur-didly-urderler?

fair point.:shifty:

[Innovator]

I'm going out on a limb, and the One Night Stand PPV will probably be a lot like Judgement Day

[KingofOldSchool]

I'm going out on a limb, and the One Night Stand PPV will probably be a lot like Judgement Day

Except every match will be EXXXTREEEEMMEEEE!

[Innovator]

holy crap, no OH MY GOD?!

[KingofOldSchool]

Better quality here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=YaPlmyAWlJo&fmt=18

I like it. IMO it fits him more with the slow, laid back heel walk instead of the up beat "Hey! there's nothing you can say!"

[The Optimist]

Damn. I hate how badass Regal is.

[Xero]

That music sounds like it should be used for a big guy. It sounds intimidating, and Orton just doesn't look intimidating. He looks like a string bean compared to a lot of the roster.

[KingofOldSchool]

That music sounds like it should be used for a big guy. It sounds intimidating, and Orton just doesn't look intimidating. He looks like a string bean compared to a lot of the roster.

Should be Snitsky's theme music.

[Innovator]

Snitsky shouldn't have music, he shouldn't have a job

[SammyG]

LOL wtf Regal murdered his grandmother

[SammyG]

Yeah Orton's theme song is good, but does not fit him.

[KingofOldSchool]

Snitsky shouldn't have music, he shouldn't have a job

:foc:

[KingofOldSchool]

"Jeff Hardy is my Hero"

:nono:

[KingofOldSchool]

Undertaker should have appeared and made the kid famous.

[NeanderCarl]

Eeeeeeeeeevenin' all.

[Innovator]

....was Jericho the last image on the opening video?

really?

[KingofOldSchool]

Here comes Jeff Druggie.

[SammyG]

Is this a new theme for Hardy, or have I missed a lot of Raw lately?

[KingofOldSchool]

....was Jericho the last image on the opening video?

really?

Yeah it's been that way for months, get with the times man.

[Corndad]

wow Hardy still getting a pretty decent pop. i figured when he would come back would cool off.

[Innovator]

Jesus that was a pop

[SammyG]

EWWWWWWWWWMAAGAAAAA

[Corndad]

Hardy/Umanga part 10000000000

[KingofOldSchool]

And Umanga gets to job to Mr. Wellness again.

[Innovator]

Yeah it's been that way for months, get with the times man.
I always thought there was a HHH subliminal one in there

[NeanderCarl]

Again???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[Innovator]

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUjobba

[BigDaddyCool]

BDC is here. Not at kemper, no one wanted to go with me. :( Ah well I saw smackdown a few month ago.

[Innovator]

Hardy can sell like no other

[Xerzes]

Boo for forgetting about tipsters two PPVs in a row. Oh well. Why the shit do we have Jeff/Umanga again?

[SammyG]

lol, nice slip Jeff.

[Innovator]

HOLY CONTINUATION BATMAN

[SammyG]

Give him the stink face, Umaga.

[SammyG]

LOL @ that Umaga scream

[KingofOldSchool]

"LET'S GO DRUGGIE!"

[Innovator]

Umanga just splattered Jeff

[Corndad]

double countout.

[SammyG]

Beat his ass, Umanga.

[Volchok]

lol

[Innovator]

Umanga didn't job....wow

[KingofOldSchool]

Umanga didn't job....wow

They are saving that for One Night Stand.

[owenbrown]

WTF?! they just had a PPV last night and One Night Stand is in 2 weeks?! :wtf:

[The Optimist]

Wow. Confusing. They had a good thing going, from Jeff being ruined by Umaga when Umaga first won the IC belt, to putting up a good match but losing barely, to winning, to the Steel Cage match to his quick four minute win. I know it's a "great story" sort of match, but give it a rest.

They'll probably have a gimmick match at ONS that Jeff'll win.

[sugar butt]

I want a pink locker room!!!!

[Innovator]

Ugh, Jericho jobbing the Davey Boy Batista

[BigDaddyCool]

I wish i was at kemper, I would egg jericho.

[KingofOldSchool]

lol yeah that's not awkward or anything

[sugar butt]

*thinkin about going and finding jeff and takin care of him tonite ;)*

[BigDaddyCool]

*thinkin about going and finding matt and takin care of him tonite ;)*


He is a Smackdown wrestler, he won't be here tonight. But Mickie James is in town. :naughty:

[Corndad]

ONS gonna be alot of freakin Judgement Day rematches just under hardcore rules

[Innovator]

SABUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[KingofOldSchool]

YAY ONS = an evening of rematches!

[BigDaddyCool]

ONS gonna be alot of freakin Judgement Day rematches just under hardcore rules

HHH and Orton were in a hardcore match...pretty much.

[Xerzes]

Didn't that happen already?

[NeanderCarl]

Rematch city again at One Night Stand then? Should change the name to Twelfth Night Stand.

[The Optimist]

Heels vs. Faces? What a fresh new idea!

[Mooияakeя™]

Fuckin great, never seen that main event before...

[Innovator]

Calling it, Randy Orton vs. HHH, Last Man Standing

[Mooияakeя™]

Kennedy..........................

[The Optimist]

Making fun of wrestling cliches? What a fresh new idea!

[Innovator]

KENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEDY

[Mooияakeя™]

Oh shock, i already am in prediction mode.

[BigDaddyCool]

Hmmmm, kinda rather have HHH and Cena at ONS just to get it over with.

[BigDaddyCool]

BDC is glad he didn't get tickets to this shit.

[KingofOldSchool]

*yawn*

[NeanderCarl]

Kennedy would have got a bigger pop then if he'd just slapped the piss out of Regal's mouth as soon as he walked up to him... you know, rather than speaking...

[BigDaddyCool]

Regal v Kennedy? Why? Regal should just fire him.

[Innovator]

AHAHHA, Vinnie Mac

[NeanderCarl]

I called Vince as soon as he said that.

[BigDaddyCool]

Awesome.

[Corndad]

well looks like Vince is gettin fired lol

[BigDaddyCool]

Vince is fired.

[Innovator]

Ok hi Vince....now get off TV again

[Mooияakeя™]

OMFG. VINCE GOT POPPED

[KingofOldSchool]

Didn't Vince just give his approval to Regal?

[The Optimist]

Infact, Kennedy. Instead of me, you'll be facing Youmanga tonight in this very ring.


And you, John Cenar, you, you'll be facing Youmanga later tonight in this very ring.



Triple Haitch, don't think you've gotten off lightly. You'll be facing Youmanga later tonight in this very ring.

[BigDaddyCool]

JR, you are in Kansas City, it is to talk about BBQ. In Kansas City, BBQ is serious fucking business.

[Innovator]

the monnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnay

[NeanderCarl]

I bet they do receive more "viewer dissatisfaction" complaints than ever, but it's nowt to do with Regal.

[BigDaddyCool]

Infact, Kennedy. Instead of me, you'll be facing Youmanga tonight in this very ring.


And you, John Cena, you, you'll be facing Youmanga later tonight in this very ring.



Triple Haitch, don't think you've gotten off lightly. You'll be facing Youmanga later tonight in this very ring.
Will Youmanga be facing Youmanga in this very ring tonight.

[KingofOldSchool]

[NeanderCarl]

Way to bury your top heel character, Vinnie.

[Innovator]

Don't worry Vince, ratings are down with or without Regal

[BigDaddyCool]

The ratings really plummet when you come out Vince.

[KingofOldSchool]

YES!

[NeanderCarl]

loser leaves raw?

[BigDaddyCool]

Way to bury your top heel character, Vinnie.

Vince is top heel.

[Corndad]

looks like Regal to SD lol

[Innovator]

PINK SLIP ON A POLE

[NeanderCarl]

Kennedy to SmackDown?

[BigDaddyCool]

I hope Vince some how loses this match.

[KingofOldSchool]

YES!

COME ON REGAL!

[The Optimist]

McMahon mandated: Kennedy vs. Regal pink slip match.

I love it when you see exactly where the idea turned bad.

[sugar butt]

I so called that...... =)

[Mooияakeя™]

Kens was better on SD anyway. The Blue suited him.

[NeanderCarl]

Nah nah nah... silly me... blatant no-contest, followed by REMATCH REMATCH REMATCH at One Night Stand.

[The Optimist]

Yeah, I think Kennedy will lose. Come back to Smackdown/ECW, probably fued with Punk.

[Innovator]

EXTREME FIRING match

[The Optimist]

Nah nah nah... silly me... blatant no-contest, followed by REMATCH REMATCH REMATCH at One Night Stand.
Or that.

[owenbrown]

King Regal vs Stone Cold Ken Kennedy?

[Innovator]

That girl in the Stridex commerical is hot

JONES!

[The Optimist]

Stunning Ken Kennedy

[Corndad]

liveautographs.com? Austin and Hogan both? the hell is that

[BigDaddyCool]

Beth is amazing strong.

[JH]

i'm calling it now
new raw gm teddy long

[Corndad]

wow that Back breaker was insane

[KingofOldSchool]

lol a POP for Maria?

[BigDaddyCool]

Maria is going to die.

[BigDaddyCool]

Maria is dumb for kicking out.

[NeanderCarl]

A women's feud NOT revolving around the belt?? :eek:

[owenbrown]

Is Melina slowly turning face?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I would love to use that submission on maria

[Corndad]

RIP Maria.

[BigDaddyCool]

Why is it that the women's divs get booked better than most of the show?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I swear, it's sad to me that the woman's division on both Raw and in TNA are the absolute most amusing part of these shows.

[SammyG]

OMG Will freak the fuck out if Kennedy is fired.

[KingofOldSchool]

BITCH FIGHT!

[sugar butt]

and that is why i love Beth

[HeartBreakMan2k]

BDC, seriously there are some strong woman's divisions right now. If only the writers for the main rosters could do what the woman's writers are doing. You know, planning long term.

[The Optimist]

Piss break/Women's match Beth Phoenix murders Maria, Mileena attacks afterwards.

What was that finishing move? Diva-bomb or something gay?

[Corndad]

they should just move Batista to Raw hes there enough

[KingofOldSchool]

If Kennedy loses tonight, I will mark out like a little school girl who just met John Cena.

[The Optimist]

I swear, it's sad to me that the woman's division on both Raw and in TNA are the absolute most amusing part of these shows.:| I would dispute that heavily on Raw.

[BigDaddyCool]

I know. The Divas and the Knockouts are solid divisions.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Piss break/Women's match Beth Phoenix murders Maria, Mileena attacks afterwards.

What was that finishing move? Diva-bomb or something gay?

Actually a pretty sick facebuster into submission.

[SammyG]

KENNNEEDYYYYYY

[Corndad]

martini lol

[Xerzes]

...why was there a feud on Jimmy Kimmel?

[The Optimist]

I wasn't paying attention, I knew Beth was going to rape. All I heard was the name, which annoyed me enough to make me forget it.

[KingofOldSchool]

SANTINO!

[KingofOldSchool]

JOHNNY CAMEL

[Innovator]

MICKIE

[HeartBreakMan2k]

:| I would dispute that heavily on Raw.

I would love to see your argument for that considering both divisions are using their stronger workers in the main wrestling/storyline roles and using the "eye candy divas" merely as enhancement talents. And even those girls that they are using are improving fairly drastically. Even Maria for that matter. Plus, they typically are having the best match on the card involving anyone other than Shawn Michaels.

[The Optimist]

Jimmy Kimmel's cousin looks like Murdoch in 2006.

[KingofOldSchool]

MICKIE!

[Corndad]

who is this girl talkin to Mickie

[BigDaddyCool]

Hahaha, Martini. Jericho and Rock already said it, but oh, Roddy you make it funny, I guess.

[Innovator]

Mikcie must wear that "shirt" at all times

[Xerzes]

Ew.

[SammyG]

omg Mickie's tits

[KingofOldSchool]

Katie isn't that attractive, tbh.

[BigDaddyCool]

who is this girl talkin to Mickie

That is Katie Lee or something. She is in the inest angle.

[Innovator]

listen to that pop for the stretcher match announcement

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Holy shit the first stretcher match ever that won't be a complete spot fest or suck!?!?!? Thank God <s>for</s> Shawn Michaels....

[Xerzes]

Also, Santino should've received a yokozuna.

[Innovator]

That was some awesome boobage

[Innovator]

Also, Santino should've received a yokozuna.
Piper is big enough now

[Innovator]

HERE

COMES

JERICHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Corndad]

Cenas erection better come no where near Mickie. You think people would riot before..

[Innovator]

That'll make the males cheer Cena, have him sleep with Mickie

[Corndad]

I would also like to state how delicious Mickies boobs looked tonight. Wow.

[KingofOldSchool]

listen to that pop for the stretcher match announcement

He might as well have just booked him in a match with Colin Delaney, it would have gotten the same reaction.

[SammyG]

WOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KingofOldSchool]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Corndad]

Holy shit another huge pop.

[SammyG]

Batista is obviously winning this shit.

[Xerzes]

The hell's that thing around Jericho's waist?

[KingofOldSchool]

Jericho doesn't even get a countdown or pyro anymore.

[Innovator]

JERICHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

[HeartBreakMan2k]

This match is going to be very lackluster. It involves Chris Jericho but no HBK, and Batista but no HBK. Not good on paper.

[KingofOldSchool]

The hell's that thing around Jericho's waist?

The Wellness Policy belt, it only changes hands when the holder is on the verge of suspension.

[Innovator]

Thats a fancy belt Jericho is wearing...what does it mean?

[Innovator]

WHAT THE FUCK

STOP CHEERING BATISTA

He's SUPPOSED TO BE HEEL

....AND HE SUCKS

[Innovator]

The Wellness Policy belt, it only changes hands when the holder is on the verge of suspension.
Might as well give it to Kennedy

[BigDaddyCool]

Did they just call him Bob Tista?

[Corndad]

HAHAHA "If Cena scored we riot" sign.

[KingofOldSchool]

WHAT THE FUCK

STOP CHEERING BATISTA

He's SUPPOSED TO BE HEEL

....AND HE SUCKS

These people also mark out for the drugged up Hardy boy, there is no saving them.

[SammyG]

lol this match is awful.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

It's nice to see a hot (well luke warm but hot in comparison) crowd tonight.

[SammyG]

lol when Batista was gonna send him across the ropes, as he was throwing him, Jericho was looking at Batista waiting word on what he wanted to do

[SammyG]

lol faking the injury.

[The Optimist]

I would love to see your argument for that considering both divisions are using their stronger workers in the main wrestling/storyline roles and using the "eye candy divas" merely as enhancement talents. And even those girls that they are using are improving fairly drastically. Even Maria for that matter. Plus, they typically are having the best match on the card involving anyone other than Shawn Michaels.The women's divison runs into the same problem as the men, they have squash matches that are phoned in (Beth vs. Maria) or cluster tag team matches. Even then the most entertaining women's match I remember was the Raw that Mickie James beat Beth, which was awesome despite not even being a good match (about six and a half minutes). I think you're overestimating how great these matches are, or purposefully underestimating Raw talent.

[Innovator]

Jericho injured, ahahahaha, atta Jericho

[Corndad]

hes gonna fool bats like hbk did lol

[KingofOldSchool]

HAHAHA "If Cena scored we riot" sign.

That sign was by one of the Wrestlecrap guys.

[The Optimist]

Lol. Injured leg. Jericho, you slay me.

[Mooияakeя™]

OMFG, just end the brand seperation already. WTF is with all this random wrestler here and there.

[Innovator]

enough with the axe commercials

[KingofOldSchool]

ECW Spoiler:
















Punk jobs.

[Innovator]

to Delaney

[KingofOldSchool]

lol everyone is getting hurt

[Innovator]

:lol: Batista hurting his leg

[HeartBreakMan2k]

lol as bad as it sounds I would LOVE for this to culminate in one of them actually with a leg injury.

[KingofOldSchool]

to Delaney

to Nunzio

[HeartBreakMan2k]

If only for irony's sake.

[KingofOldSchool]

I see a 3-way stretcher match happening

[Innovator]

which would be worse, losing to Lil Nunzuido or Delaney

[Mooияakeя™]

lol Y2J is so doing the job, or HBK will be coming down to kill bats.

[ClockShot]

Evening everyone.

[Innovator]

I see a 3-way stretcher match happening
3 way match where the other 2 have to have leg injuries

[KingofOldSchool]

which would be worse, losing to Lil Nunzuido or Delaney

At least Delaney's won a match.

When was the last time Nunzio actually won a match?

[KingofOldSchool]

Or maybe have HBK vs. Batista vs. Jericho in a "Zach Gowen's plastic leg" on a pole match

[Innovator]

'86?

[The Optimist]

I remember Guido and Big Sal beating Whipwreck and Tajiri for the ECW Tag Team Titles in 99.

Does that count? I was a tag team match.

[Mooияakeя™]

WTF. why go up top?!?!

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I could see HBK coming out and laying out Jericho thinking Bats is hurt, only for Bats to be faking to get the rematch.

[KingofOldSchool]

BYE BYE JERICHO

[ClockShot]

Meh.

[Mooияakeя™]

lol, Bats needs the 'roids again. He ain't so strong no more.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Or Bats ruining the idea of the leg injury by ya know, walking carrying Jericho on his shoulders.

[KingofOldSchool]

Jericho jobs almost as much as CM Punk does

[Johnny Vegas]

Damn, that was a decent match :y:

[Mooияakeя™]

Cue HBK?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I'm ok with this regardless, Shawn Michaels is going to make the first entertaining (not spot fest) stretcher match ever.

[Innovator]

HBK vs. Batista, with Jericho being the line they have to cross

[Corndad]

Piper's Pit baby.

[KingofOldSchool]

HBK vs. Batista, with Jericho being the line they have to cross

WWE: CROSS THE LINE...in Jericho's pants

[ClockShot]

Piper's Pit?

[BigDaddyCool]

I'm calling it now. When Orton comes out, they crowd will boo on the St. Louis part, not the Orton part.

KC isn't a smark city, but we do hate St. Louis.

[ClockShot]

TED!

[Corndad]

[NeanderCarl]

What's all this about DiBiase?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Fuckin Ronnie Piper :mad:

[Johnny Vegas]

Why does he have his right foot up like that LOL

[BigDaddyCool]

Santino was pretty funny there.

[Mooияakeя™]

Shouldn't Santino be a legend killer too of some sorts, only thru mockery. - Xcept he wen't for Stoney Cold, Orton didn't.

[KingofOldSchool]

Santino in a Mr. T shirt = WIN

[SammyG]

God I love Santino

[KingofOldSchool]

Chimney Kimmel
