Official Raw is Draft Thread (6-23-08): Place your bets!

[Innovator]

MVP to RAW, CMON

[owenbrown]

ECW (save for Matt Hardy) is royally fucked tonight.

[NeanderCarl]

Don't worry about ECW. They'll draft a couple of nobodies to make up the numbers in the supplemental draft (if they're doing one?).

[Mr. Nerfect]

They need to make room for John Cena.

Exactly. Jamaican me crazy, KoOS. In a good way.

[Innovator]

Jiggletits, pull one out for Inno

[KingofOldSchool]

JBL is awkwardly hugging Coffee

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'd mark out for ECW drafting someone that has already been drafted to RAW. Like Rey Mysterio, or CM Punk back.

[NeanderCarl]

I quite like Kofi. He's fun. You don't often get fun in wrestling nowadays. He's an 80s throwback, but it's all gravy.

Kofi B. Ware to Raw!

[Innovator]

JAMACIAN ME JOB

[FourFifty]

Uno, Dos, Adios :(

[KingofOldSchool]

See ya Coffee

[Innovator]

MVP!

[KingofOldSchool]

Coffee to Raw

[NeanderCarl]

Raw gets ANOTHER pick... that's just nuts.

Raw gets... Kane.

Poor old ECW.

[Innovator]

Kane?

[Mr. Nerfect]

If Kofi loses and is drafted to RAW, JBL will feud with him and eventually put him over.

[RawRocks]

lord

[KingofOldSchool]

Wow

[FourFifty]

GOOD GOD ALL MIGHTY, IT'S KANE!!!!!!!!!!

[Fox]

wow, way to rape ECW some more.

[Xerzes]

Wow. Just raping ECW.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Kane to Raw. ECW gold going with

[Innovator]

Well there is the relationship between ECW and RAW

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Holy shit, poor ECW.

[ClockShot]

And that be that.

Kane's back.

[FourFifty]

HELL FIRE, BRIMSTONE, AND KANE MASK TATTOOS!!!!

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Is ECW not getting renewed or something?

[KingofOldSchool]

Matt Hardy will be ECW Champion by the time the night is over.

[FourFifty]

I am a happy Jewish, Raw loving, Kane fan.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Holy shit! That's a pretty shocking move. It passed through my head a few times, but I never expected the WWE to do it. That means that Kane and Big Show are representing RAW and SmackDown! fighting over the ECW Title at Night of Champions. I think the WWE may end up dissolving ECW into RAW and SmackDown!.

[NeanderCarl]

Are they just gonna kill off ECW or something? Because they're getting fucked tonight, and I don't even see the US title staying on the show, meaning I'm wondering if Matt will even end up staying with ECW.

[RawRocks]

ECW is getting roped, castrated, mutilated and burned

[owenbrown]

So that means Big Show wins the ECW strap on Sunday

[SammyG]

lol ECW Getting royally fucked over.

[Innovator]

Seriously, pull the plug on ECW

[HeartBreakMan2k]

lol the US title is now the ECW main title. Eh, actually about the same thing.

[RP]

Awesome. Bring Kane to raw and do nothing with him. Sounds like a good plan.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Oh and am I the ONLY one who saw that rebound off the ropes?! That shit was fucking sick and I'm the only one who commented on it.

[ClockShot]

ECW is this year's smackdown.

Only shot they got is the Battle Royal.

[KingofOldSchool]

Who is going to represent ECW in that battle royal everyone except Colin, Shelton, Sydal, and Knox have wrestled tonight

[SammyG]

Nah, this just means Show will go over Kane.

[FourFifty]

So that means Big Show wins the ECW strap on Sunday. I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Remember when CM Punk said he was going to cash in Money in the Bank for the ECW Title? Now he can do it and stay on RAW! Woooo!

Also, this raping of ECW is part of the WWE's plan. I'm telling you, it will get RAW and ECW working together, or the brand is ending, or something, but there will be developments.

[KingofOldSchool]

Well there is another babyface in front of CM Punk in the Raw pecking order.

[RP]

Oh dear God, please let Colin Delany win the Battle Royal.

[NeanderCarl]

Here's Vinnie Wonka, making somebody's dream come true with a golden ticket.

[FourFifty]

Let it be a Rick Roll, let it be a Rick Roll!

[FourFifty]

Oh, Wow!

[ClockShot]

Echo echo echo echo echo.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Big Show is a SmackDown! Superstar. Granted, ECW and SmackDown! have their talent exchange, but soon that is heading over to RAW. If ECW is sticking around, they might as well keep the belt on Kane and just wait it out.

Theodore Long should get drafted and become the default General Manager of RAW and ECW, and unify the brands.

[FourFifty]

That was fucking AWESOME!

[ClockShot]

Oh shit, live person.

[RP]

That camera found her pretty fast....

[HeartBreakMan2k]

lol are you fucking serious?!?! She's at the show?

[KingofOldSchool]

lol someone from the show won

[JH]

so 2 years in a row the ECW champ goes to RAW
last year was Lashley

[FourFifty]

So Bats beats Edge, Kane keeps his title, and then all of you jackasses get your dreams of one title to rule them all.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Well there is another babyface in front of CM Punk in the Raw pecking order.

Things are looking really good for a big face move. And it will close the show. Which means SmackDown! will probably win the Battle Royal. That will also mean a pick from ECW, I guess. I'd laugh if Matt Hardy got drafted back.

[KingofOldSchool]

A lot of titles changing hands Sunday

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Pissed as I am that didn't win the money that is very cool a fan at the show won the Mmmmoooonnnnn-nnnnaaaaayyyy.

[RP]

Oh sweet.. the big names are in this.

[RawRocks]

wow

[KingofOldSchool]

Wow it's the big names out there

[FourFifty]

Punk, Kane, Bats, Cena, and Triple H.... Aka, "Team Main Event that's not going to work as a unit due to clashing egos."

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Pretty stacked team for Raw.

And see, I fuckin love this booking. The shows are actually using their draft picks! That's the best team they can use. I love that.

[Innovator]

Morrison is showing hte abs, WIN

[RP]

Calling it now. Punk cashes in tonight after the battle royal.

And here comes the Job Squad

[ClockShot]

Shit. RAW brought out the dream team.

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL what's wrong with this picture?

[Mr. Nerfect]

So Bats beats Edge, Kane keeps his title, and then all of you jackasses get your dreams of one title to rule them all.

Actually, I can seriously see the WWE doing this. Throw in Ted DiBiase with the Million Dollar Championship, please. :D

But seriously, I can see this leading towards one WWE World Heavyweight Champion to go between the brands.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Raws got their A Team out, ECW might as well be team OVW in comparison

[Fox]

Wow. Played back to back like this, I realize the absolute shit that is all three brands' theme music.

[Innovator]

:lol: those ECW guys just don't belong in the ring

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I like with Matt leading the charge. Matt makes a great ring general for ECW honestly. He's a pretty good throwback to ECW.

Wait, wasn't Big Show an ECW worker?!?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Smackdown will probably win this. They've got the big men out.

[owenbrown]

How long before everyone from all 3 brands has a big clusterfuck brawl ?!

[RP]

Wheres Kennedy?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Wow. Played back to back like this, I realize the absolute shit that is all three brands' theme music.

DON'T QUESTION MY HEART!

*emotear*

[Innovator]

Really, Matt Hardy is the leader of ECW out there

[SammyG]

Damn what a STACKED battle royal

by the way, the lady that won... Was that Austin's theme playing as her ring back?

[Mr. Nerfect]

So what are the teams? Is this the Battle Royal. Triple H will get dumped out by Cena, Triple H will then allow Cena to get eliminated, which might get the win for SmackDown!.

Or RAW wins, with CM Punk, Batista and Kane standing tall.

[Fox]

Cena is drafted to Smackdown. I'm calling it now.

[KingofOldSchool]

CM Punk will be the first one eliminated.

[Mr. Nerfect]

ECW winning would give them a much needed rub, though. Big Show to ECW, with the ECW Title coming back at Night of Champions? Maybe Mr. Kennedy from RAW, seeing as he is yet to show up, and ECW needs someone other than Matt Hardy as a credible face.

[owenbrown]

Bats, Orton, and HHH all on Raw again? They trying to reform Evolution? :?:

[Fox]

Jericho should be in there; not Kane.

[NeanderCarl]

Why would these guys bust their asses to win this match, only to bring more competition to their own show, therefore to themselves?

[FourFifty]

But seriously, I can see this leading towards one WWE World Heavyweight Champion to go between the brands.

And as a fan of the brand split, that makes me sad :(

[RP]

Big Show is awesome.

[Innovator]

Punk and HHH high fived in the ring

PUNK HAS NUCLEAR HEAT

[HeartBreakMan2k]

These matches have had some great booking. I love how they're going from big man to big man to work them out.

[Mr. Nerfect]

But yeah, SmackDown! wins, John Cena is the last eliminated, due to Triple H distracting him, and Cena is drafted as Triple H finds humor in the situation.

As for who else goes, Carlito was rumored to move, but he's supplementary. I can actually see it being Kane again. Or Mr. Kennedy, as he's been out of sight for a bit.

[NeanderCarl]

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE!

[KingofOldSchool]

Shelton is WWE's Black Machismo

[Mr. Nerfect]

What the fuck is happening with the IC Title? Chris Jericho to SmackDown!?

[KingofOldSchool]

Punk and HHH high fived in the ring

PUNK HAS NUCLEAR HEAT

PUNK TEH MOLTEN HEATZ

[Mr. Nerfect]

Chris Jericho and John Cena as the last two picks would be pretty hot.

[DaVe]

Ha, JR remembered a question from someone on his site. They told him about improperly using 'literally', and JR corrected himself to say 'figuratively' when he used it just then.

[RP]

I hope MVP is the last one standing.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Probably gonna be Orton and Batista V HHH down the line.

[Mr. Nerfect]

When he returns, William Regal should go to ECW to help them out. A feud with Matt Hardy over the ECW Title down the line would be pretty cool.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

lol anyone else see Triple H's delayed ass reaction to Matt's punch?!

[KingofOldSchool]

lol only Hardy and Chavo are left for ECW

[Mr. Nerfect]

Randy Orton and Batista vs. Triple H and Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho and Lance Cade: Gang Wars. With those two guys standing at the front of respective stables.

[Mr. Nerfect]

They are Night of Champions opponents, so I can't see this working out for them.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I could see MVP being the sole survivor ripping off the smackdown shirt to have an ECW shirt on under it.

[owenbrown]

this is a major clusterfuck

[Mr. Nerfect]

ECW winning and getting John Cena and their ECW Champion back would be a pretty mark-out ending for the show. Or if they drafted John Cena and CM Punk, who cashed in Money in the Bank and won back the ECW Title for the brand. But Cena on ECW?

[KingofOldSchool]

I say Edge wins

[Mr. Nerfect]

I could see MVP being the sole survivor ripping off the smackdown shirt to have an ECW shirt on under it.

There is a moment right there!

[RP]

Triple A just no sold a spear

[Innovator]

Matt Hardy standing strong for ECW!

oh yeah, Chavo is there too

[RP]

Triple H no sold a spear too.

[Fox]

What's the point of having an A, B and C show when they're all under one company's umbrella? Why not maximize the appeal of all three brands, making a greater opportunity to make more money?

I just don't understand it.

[NeanderCarl]

I could see MVP being the sole survivor ripping off the smackdown shirt to have an ECW shirt on under it.

Didn't they already do that finish with Big Show or someone before?

[Innovator]

Are we almost there for the 6 eliminations in 20 seconds spot?

[ClockShot]

Wow. I come back and ECW is down to just Matt and Chavo. Sad day for ECW.

[Fox]

dude. World at War looks amazing.

[KingofOldSchool]

Raw wins and gets Morrison and Miz.

[KingofOldSchool]

Punk got eliminated during the commercIal.

HEAT

[RP]

Not only was Punk eliminated, but it was during a commercial break..smooooooth

[DrA]

Why would Smackdown not put Umaga in there? They would have had three 300+ pounders on their team if they did that.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Chavo Guerrero eliminating Edge for ECW would be awesome. Or even if he helped Edge eliminate Matt Hardy.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>They may as well draft Vickie and Teddy to Raw, ending the split.</font> :o

[Fox]

Chavo gone.

[RP]

ROFL WTF CHAVO????

Hardy kicked Chavo and Chavo jumps out of the ring..whatlol

[ClockShot]

And Matt stands alone.

[Fox]

wow I wonder which brand is going to win.

[Zeeboe]

*sigh* Thank goodness this nonsense is almost over. I REALLY hope Vince ends the contest tonight. I can't take much more of this. :(

[owenbrown]

Did Tazz just say "Big Show just dropped a load on Triple H" ? :lol:

[Fox]

they should team up and eliminate more RAW stars. stupid hardys.

[RP]

ECW done rofl

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL BYE BYE ECW

[ClockShot]

The downfall begins.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

ECW are out

lol

[RP]

this is horrible

[owenbrown]

Bats busted open. :eek:

[Fox]

botched spot or real spot?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I love Taz on commentary. Funny fucker.

[RawRocks]

you notice Big Show has his shirt tucked in... he is ECW

[RP]

why did Edge and Batista ram there heads together?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

that spear collision looked accidental

[owenbrown]

Bye Jeff

[Innovator]

how long until hhh and cena go at it

[Fox]

And Triple H bumps Jeff off of RAW, literally and figuratively speaking.

[KingofOldSchool]

lol bye bye Jeff

[Mr. Nerfect]

<font color=goldenrod>They may as well draft Vickie and Teddy to Raw, ending the split.</font> :o

That might be what they do. Which would render this edition of RAW and excitement over certain moves essentially pointless.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

yeah, I don't think that was planned.

looked pretty sick, to be honest.

And I didn't notice that about Show's shirt...hmmmm.

[RP]

Jeff Hardy gone.. WTF This is stupid seriously. Who the fuck cares if you can make a battle royal and put your main evens in the final 4. WHO THE FUCK CARES. Make it intresting. GOD DAMMIT WWE IS JUST FUCKING DUMB.

[Fox]

It does kind of look like Show has a black shirt on underneath his blue one.

[RP]

Show's shirt is not tucked.

[owenbrown]

Please let Show eliminate HHH/Cena

[Mr. Nerfect]

you notice Big Show has his shirt tucked in... he is ECW

Actually, you may be right. This would lead to Big Show winning the ECW Title, no doubt.

[RP]

What was the point of this match again? Why not just make it a tag match? Whats the point. Why not use it to give a mid to main carder some momentum. This is just so useless. Why am i even watching this?

[Fox]

derp.

[Innovator]

EDGE!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Big Show will win. Show tosses out Triple H, then Cena. This leads to Cena and Jericho being drafted. Trust me. Or not. I don't.

[KingofOldSchool]

THAT DAMN ULTIMATE OPPORTUNIST WILL WIN!

[RawRocks]

crap

[ClockShot]

GO EDGE!

[Innovator]

Cena to Smackdown, here it comes

[NeanderCarl]

Well, well... I'm calling Cena and Jericho...

[KingofOldSchool]

THAT DAMN ULTIMATE OPPORTUNIST!

[Fox]

Johnny C to Smackdown

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Cena to Smackdown.

[owenbrown]

EDGE WINS AGAIN! :love: :D

[RP]

Fatboy Edge wins

[NeanderCarl]

And SD gets... Kennedy... hmm

[Fox]

WHAT?!?!?!?!?

[Innovator]

KENNEDY GOING BACK!!!!!!!!!!!

[RawRocks]

Mr. Kennedy back where he belongs

[Linkbowler]

Next one's Jericho.

[FourFifty]

....KENNEDY!!!!!

[owenbrown]

Mr Kennedy back to Smackdown?! :wtf:

[KingofOldSchool]

lol Kennedy is back on Smackdown

[Zeeboe]

Please call me Vince. :( Please. :'(

[Fox]

I was just starting to enjoy Kennedy.

[ClockShot]

Kennedy back to Smackdown. Christ his stint was short.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Jericho going to SmackDown! gets the IC Title on the blue brand. When the RAW/ECW draft stuff starts, the ECW Title can return to Sci-Fi, and the US Title can go to RAW.

[NeanderCarl]

And also... Trips!

[RawRocks]

OH
MY
GOD

[Fox]

OMG

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Trips to SD. Holy shit. Awesome.

[Innovator]

HHH!?!?!?!

[Linkbowler]

DEJA VU

[RP]

Triple H lol

[ClockShot]

STUNNER!

[FourFifty]

WHAT THE GOD DAMN CUNTING FUCKING SHIT!?!?!??!?!?!

[owenbrown]

TRIPLE H?! :wtf: :wtf:

[DaVe]

Yay, Triple H! Good job, HHH.

[KingofOldSchool]

BUT TRIPLE H DOESN'T WORK TUESDAYS

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Smackdown get Kennedy :mad: and HHH! :D

And I'm off to bed!

I really hope HHH doesn't weasel his way out of it this time

[RP]

YAY CENA IS GETTING ANOTHER TITLE RUN!!

[NeanderCarl]

Well, Heyman, looks like Triple H has decided he does fancy working Tuesdays after all.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

HOLY SHIT?! I thought Triple H didn't work Tuesdays!?!?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Oh OK, so it'll be Kennedy and Cena. I sort of called Kennedy earlier, but I then defected to Jericho.

[NeanderCarl]

:lol:

[RP]

ROFL WHAT THE FUCK lol

[owenbrown]

What the fuck the set broke on vince?!

[NeanderCarl]

ANOTHER Vince death angle?

[ClockShot]

What the hell just happened?

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL WHAT

[#BROKEN Hasney]

No, Kennedy and HHH. Not Cena.

[NeanderCarl]

Or is this their way of ending the Million Dollar Mania?

[RP]

lol seriously this is dumb lol

[JH]

what the hell is going on

[Mr. Nerfect]

Shit! Triple H did jump! Didn't see it, but I'm not entirely surprised. This was a nutball draft. It makes sense...Edge wins it, thinks he's so great, now he has the WWE Championship as competition.

Also, I am calling it: Triple H retains at Night of Champions, and Edge loses his belt to RAW.

[Fox]

lol Vince McMahon is dead again

[HeartBreakMan2k]

LOL YESSSSS another Vince dying angle!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSS! Who killed Vinny Mac! YESSSSSSSSSSS! HAHAHAHA! This is awesome!

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Wait, I turned off the stream after the draft picks. WTF happened?

[KingofOldSchool]

LMAO

[FourFifty]

:lol: @ the new Vince's death scene.

[6to1]

trips has not gone to smackdown yet they blew up vince again

[Innovator]

VINCE JUMPED THE SHARK IN JUNE AGAIN!!

[Linkbowler]

And Vince is dead. Again.

[Xero]

ROFL They actually killed Vince again!

:rofl:

[RP]

lol why are they lifting? Its not even on top of him lol

[Mr. Nerfect]

Was that meant to happen? If so, it's pretty tasteless on the WWE's part.

[ClockShot]

Or is this their way of ending the Million Dollar Mania?

My thoughts exactly.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Oh, it's still going on.

This is homogay. The limo thing was way better.

[KingofOldSchool]

LOLOLOLOL

[owenbrown]

Vince opened his eyes

[Fox]

"We have to get him out before it falls more!"

LOL stupid mother fucker

[NeanderCarl]

Is this their way of getting out of paying that dude $500,000?

[Linkbowler]

DAMMIT EMT'S! GRAB THE MONNNN-AYYYY!

[DaVe]

For a second I thought it was Taker. If it doesn't lead to something like that then I don't get it at all.

[KingofOldSchool]

And this comes weeks after the whole TNA accident

[RP]

I cant stand this anymore. This is the worst television program in the history of television programs.

[Fox]

This is fucking stupid.

[owenbrown]

And USA cuts the feed :lol:

[HeartBreakMan2k]

"Paul... Paul... I can't feel my legs."

[NeanderCarl]

So Vince is getting a paraplegic gimmick or summat?

[Zeeboe]

Life sucks! :mad::nono::(:'(

And I hope this crap I am seeing right now is real. Cause you deserve you asshole. First, you screw Bret then you screwed me. :foc:

[JH]

Vince just called Trips by his real name Paul

[TerranRich]

This was a way to end the Million Dollar Mania. At worst, it's a way to get out of paying that guy $500,000. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted... like most hopeless one-in-a-million lotteries are.

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

Forrest, I can't feel my legs...

[KingofOldSchool]

This is a way to write off the McMahon's Millions

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Ah well, VInces death always signals....

DOUBLE MURDER SUICIDE TIME!

Shall we have a pool for this? Everyone picks name and if they kill their family, you win!

[TerranRich]

Hah, kayfabe at its finest.

[Fox]

I think we're all forgetting the important thing here:

CM Punk is on RAW and Triple H is on Smackdown.

There is a god.

[Triple X3221]

Could be a good way to bring back taker. Random bad stuff happening to vince until Taker finally shows up demanding edge and his reinstatement.

[RP]

Triple H : DONT LET HIM MOVE YOU GUYS!

Yah no shit Hunter. I think the EMT's would know how to fucking take care of that situation seeing as though they are EMT's and you are a wrestler. STFU and get the fuck back.

That whole show was stupid. Every bit of it. I cant believe you guys still watch this crap. Why did i waste my time.

[TerranRich]

I call Kurt Angle for the next murder-suicide: He murders his career and his wife, then himself.

[owenbrown]

I thought this was gonna be another Undertaker stunt. :shifty:

[NeanderCarl]

Yeah, forgot about the whole TNA set collapse thing. Pretty tasteless.

Plus what is it about 3 hour Raws in June that make Vince McMahon decide it's time to feign death or serious injury?

Plus, when Matt Hardy kills his family and commits suicide next weekend, we're going to have a major deja vu situation.

[FourFifty]

Life sucks! :mad::nono::(:'(

And I hope this crap I am seeing right now is real. Cause you deserve you asshole. First, you screw Bret then you screwed me. :foc:

Looks like the pot isn't getting the call, and that makes me smile ;)

[TerranRich]

I enjoyed the tiny adrenaline rushes (like mini-bursts) when the draft picks were announced... which were OBVIOUS AS HELL, but still, fun. Like avoiding the dentist kind of fun.

[DaVe]

Ah, good thinking, KoOS.

[Fox]

Who is Batista going to wrestle on RAW though? HBK? Jericho? Punk? These are not good matches. Get him off of my TV.

[NeanderCarl]

Vince just called Trips by his real name Paul

Shit! It MUST be real!

Anyway, everyone knows Triple H's real name is Jean-Paul.

French cunt.
