Official Raw Thread (1-26-09): KingOfOldSchool drops the ball.

[ClockShot]

Rosa you dumb bitch. You couldn't do that last night and get me tipsters points.

[Corndad]

Benoit sighting????

[Corndad]

Man I was hoping they forgot he was in that match and showed a highlight or something.

[FourFifty]

Let it be Rey Vs Knox, and have Rey win by DQ when Knox beats the hell out of Rey.... Please.....

[Londoner]

Don't give a fuck about Rey.

[RawRocks]

If Rey gets in, the WWE writing team needs to be shot with machine guns .. thirty times over

[ClockShot]

Kingston, Cena, and now maybe Rey.

Raw's chamber looking like crap right now.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Awww crap Regal's gonna job to Mysterio.

[FourFifty]

That half nelson chicken wing made me happy in places where it shouldn't have made me happy.

[Londoner]

Kingston, Cena, and now maybe Rey.

Raw's chamber looking like crap right now.

I actually don't mind Kofi being in it. If you think Kane has anymore of a chance of winning it, stop kidding yourself.

[FourFifty]

Awww crap Regal's gonna job to Mysterio.

<strike>Don't be so glum, chum. Anything can happen on Monday Night Raw.
I mean, come on, Kofi went over Kane to get into the chamber for fuck's sake.</strike>

*edit- ..............................:(

[Londoner]

Regal really bores me these days. been a good raw up till now though.

[Johnny Vegas]

So...how many times has Rey even lost in like the past 2 months?

[Londoner]

Weak match

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I really... REALLY hate the 619.

[RawRocks]

If Rey gets in, the WWE writing team needs to be shot with machine guns .. thirty times over

someone please do the honors :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

[ron the dial]

that match felt worthless

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Alright so that's 3 faces in the Elimination Chamber.

I have a crazy feeling Mike Knox is going to be in it as well.

[Tb1]

Steph will probably make Randy go into the chamber and if he wins he doesn't become champion, he just keeps his shot at WM.

[Fox]

So wait... there is going to be an elimination chamber match at NWO for the World Title?

[Londoner]

Alright so that's 3 faces in the Elimination Chamber.

I have a crazy feeling Mike Knox is going to be in it as well.

God i hope not.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

You gotta have your muscly bruiser in this match and Kane's out so it's gotta be someone else big

[RatedGSuperstar]

So...how many times has Rey even lost in like the past 2 months?

Lost a Tag Title match with Kofi Kingston to start the month...that's the last time I remember. I don't even remember the last time he lost a singles match.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Bwhahahahahahah

"We can keep her"
"You're keeped"

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[Triple Naitch]

I love Santino's new shirt

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Is that LC?

[Triple Naitch]

Doesn't John Cena know it's all about the game? And how you play it?

[Londoner]

Jericho's gotta win this considering there's no heels so far.

[ron the dial]

yeah i'd say go with a jericho win

[FourFifty]

"Plus, your place is on fire."

Even if Raw wasn't on USA, I'd still watch a lot of USA.

[ClockShot]

Punk vs. Jericho for a chamber spot.

Now we're talking.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

"Plus, your place is on fire."

Even if Raw wasn't on USA, I'd still watch a lot of USA.

It's because Burn Notice is incredible. So are Psych and Monk... and House reruns.

[FourFifty]

I like Punk, I really do, but I'd love him if he were a heel.

[ron the dial]

i love punk

[RatedGSuperstar]

I get the feeling this one's only going to get like 5 minutes, though, which is a shame.

[Londoner]

BREAK THE WALLS DOOOOOOOWWWWWWNNNNN

[Londoner]

hahaha loved that move by jericho

[Triple Naitch]

Is it just me or has Jericho been breaking down the walls of Waffle House?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Is that a Tazmission rest hold?

what the fuck is going on

[James Steele]

I think Chris Jericho will be a tweener by SummerSlam.

[Londoner]

slight fuck up there

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Gorgeous transition into the codebreaker.

[Triple Naitch]

A couple fuck ups in this match

[FourFifty]

It's because Burn Notice is incredible. So are Psych and Monk... and House reruns.

Not a big fun of Monk.... It's too much like Psych. It's someone who fights crime with his uncanny way to see little details (should say Psych is too much like Monk, since Monk has been around longer). Not knocking the actors. They're all talented, but Monk is just.... not as good as Psych.
Only Monk is mentally screwed up, while Psych is a lot more fun.
Silk Stalkings was alright, and I wish I could find a place to watch La Femme Nikita. I also have fond, late night memories of Weird Science and Duckman.

Not that this has anything to do with Jericho over Punk.

[Tb1]

Still got 1 knee in. Solid enough.

[Londoner]

What a way to book your new IC champ: make him lose in 5 minutes the following week.

[ron the dial]

PUNT

[James Steele]

YESSS!!!! Still a chance at Jericho/HBK for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania! Rourke can ref or something...

[Tb1]

What a way to book your new IC champ: make him lose in 5 minutes the following week.

Losing to a former world champion and 2008 superstar of the year isn't anything to cry about I'd say.

[Londoner]

Maybe Orton will go for the smackdown title, so then steph can't fire him?

[Triple Naitch]

Not a big fun of Monk.... It's too much like Psych. It's someone who fights crime with his uncanny way to see little details (should say Psych is too much like Monk, since Monk has been around longer). Not knocking the actors. They're all talented, but Monk is just.... not as good as Psych.

Don't forget Pacific Blue

[Londoner]

Losing to a former world champion and 2008 superstar of the year isn't anything to cry about I'd say.

True,but in 5 minutes?Bit short.

[Tb1]

She can't fire him anyway according to storyline.

[RawRocks]

To Review.. In the Elimination Chamber Match for Raw:
John Cena (Champion)
Coffee Cup (doesn't deserve to be there)
Midget Spanish Fly (doesn't need to be there)
Chris Jericho (if he wins, two matches at WrestleMania ???)


yep makes sense... not!

[Splaya]

Guys, I'm sorry but it is so clear that Stephanie and Orton are in on it together.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

She can't fire him anyway according to storyline.

Well... she can, it would just be a potential legal nightmare.

[Triple Naitch]

I'm gonna watched this last segment in bed wearing my Snuggie. 'Night fellas

[ron the dial]

how the fuck is this her music

[Londoner]

Shite theme music. Shite shite shite.

[Splaya]

BTW, I bought Rev Theory's new cd on Saturday at Circuit city for 8 dollars :love:

[Tb1]

LOL. What if she provokes him and he punts her head off?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Stephanie is rockin some "I just got some sex" hair. Little messy in the back.

[Londoner]

Shite shite shite shite.

[James Steele]

Orton should punt Linda McMahon...that would be UBER HEEL HEAT.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

PUNT HER!!!!

[Londoner]

This is better.

[FourFifty]

Don't forget Pacific Blue

Wasn't a big fan of that show to be honest... It was alright, but that's it.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

And the suits are with him :D!

[Splaya]

Here's what I think.

I think I love you Randy.

Cue a makeout session with Steph and Randy in the ring

[Triple Naitch]

I hope he punts Steph's newborn

[ron the dial]

i love how he's bringing out this whole posse

[Londoner]

Those lawyers being out there just suits this stable so much.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Steph will probably punish the rest of Legacy since she can't really touch Randy.

[James Steele]

Randy, Cody, and Ted

[Londoner]

Steph will probably punish the rest of Legacy since she can't really touch Randy.

That'll be interesting.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Those lawyers being out there just suits this stable so much.

They really do add to the group, I never thought that some suits would add so much.

Also, Randy.... Kick her the baby maker!!

[ron the dial]

is that some kinda threat

[James Steele]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvised_explosive_device

:lol: WWE picked a name of a bomb for a disease.

[FourFifty]

STEPH VS THE LAWYER!!! BOOK IT!

[Splaya]

KICK HER ORTON.


I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL CUM MY PANTS IF HE PUNTS HER

[HeartBreakMan2k]

That'll be interesting.

It's what happened to Triple H after the curtain call. I could see them working it into an angle.

[ron the dial]

NO WRESTLEMANIA

[Londoner]

heh didn'texpect this

[ron the dial]

oh shit

[James Steele]

HOLY SHIT...Where is this going?

[RatedGSuperstar]

Not a threat...a promise. Awesome Randy.

[Xerzes]

That Haas in the jeans?

[Splaya]

WHAT ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT?


I love Orton

[HeartBreakMan2k]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvised_explosive_device

:lol: WWE picked a name of a bomb for a disease.

My friends and I have a shot called the same.

Grand Mariner and 151

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Holy shit! RANDY!!!! He is the fuckin man.

[Splaya]

I hope he cancels Wrestlemania

[ron the dial]

god damn

[HeartBreakMan2k]

That was awesome!

RANDY

[Tb1]

SHANE

[James Steele]

HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A MCMAHON SCORNED!

[RawRocks]

SHANE O MAC

[ClockShot]

YES! CALLED IT!

[Londoner]

YEAH!

[Splaya]

HOLY SHIT

[FourFifty]

SHANE O MAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HeartBreakMan2k]

SHANE-O-MAC!!!!!!!

Orton should punt Shane!!!!

[James Steele]

CRAZY SHANE FACE

[RatedGSuperstar]

SHANE O MAC!

[Tb1]

SHANE LOOKS CRAZY

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Shane v Orton hardcore match

would be legendary

[ClockShot]

But then again. I think this will backfire in their favor.

[Splaya]

SHANE JOIN LEGACY GOD DAMMIT

[ron the dial]

GODDAMN

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Shane is going to join up with Legacy. Calling it now.

[James Steele]

Randy is going to hook Shane's balls up to a car battery.

[Johnny Vegas]

WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN

[Splaya]

GOD I HOPE HE SIDES WITH ORTON

[Supreme Olajuwon]

theyre going to hug

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Legacy vs the World!!! FTW

[James Steele]

RUIN SHANE'S LEGACY

[Londoner]

Shane v Orton hardcore match

would be legendary

HOLY SHIT YES

[James Steele]

IF YOU WILL

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Or not... and Randy shouldn't have backed up.

[James Steele]

WHAT IS KANE DOING WITH THAT CAR BATTERY, KING?

[FourFifty]

:lol: @ the entire Raw roster for doing jack shit.

[Fox]

lol the whole roster is up there on stage and no one is coming to help shane

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Shane should have never gotten this much offense in. Orton has to punt Shane to end this or they've bitched out Legacy.

[James Steele]

Shane has forgotten how to punch...

[ClockShot]

GET UP, ORTON!

[HeartBreakMan2k]

They've just dropped the ball with Legacy.

[Fabien Barthez]

My stream died as Legacy were walking down the isle. can anyone tell me what happened from there?

[Fox]

haha Shane beat up Orton

[James Steele]

horrible camera angle

[ron the dial]

ridiculous

[Fox]

oh now they jump in

[James Steele]

SHANE HAS SNAPPED, KING!

[Londoner]

They're botching this ending slightly,but a great raw.

[Johnny Vegas]

....o....k.....

[James Steele]

Next week is going to be MAKE OR BREAK for WWE.

[ron the dial]

what the fuck just happened right there

[Fox]

so i guess the whole thing last week was just a way to introduce Shane as the new sheriff in town, cause he just handed the Royal Rumble winner's ass to him

[HeartBreakMan2k]

They were doing so well, with Randy snapping and begging Steph to fire him, etc. Everything was going amazingly well, and then they dropped the ball and not only had Randy get bitched out by Shane but all of Legacy. What... The... Hell...

[ClockShot]

They've just dropped the ball with Legacy.

Oh yeah they did. A few weeks ago they had a power struggle going on between Steph and Shane.

Now this. :nono::'(

[Londoner]

Shane has forgotten how to punch...

Glad i'm not the only one who noticed.

[Fox]

so... Shane vs. Randy at NWO?

[ron the dial]

i just can't believe that i watched shane mcmahon punch the shit out of randy orton. and took out rhodes and dibiase. and then orton ran away. legacy should have whooped the fuck out of him and then everyone could have ran down and saved him. off the air good to go.

[Theo Dious]

This ending is a setup for when Shane swerves his family. This is just an inflated version of DiBiase turning on Manu and Sim. Wake up, people.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

They could have made that work if the roster had helped Shane. He went have went over, and Legacy wouldn't have looked so horrible.

[Londoner]

i just can't believe that i watched shane mcmahon punch the shit out of randy orton. and took out rhodes and dibiase. and then orton ran away. legacy should have whooped the fuck out of him and then everyone could have ran down and saved him. off the air good to go.

Aslong as Orton wins their match, this doesn't matter much.

[ron the dial]

no i get that. it's fine. it just didn't feel right.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I just can't believe that WWE had something going so right, and then in a split second, literally they dropped the ball. I just had flashbacks to the night ECW reformed before the invasion, and then in one instance, with the announcement of Stephanie McMahon taking over ECW and merging with WCW they killed it all.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Well that ending was kinda deflating. When Steph kind of gave a knowing smile when she said "we have bigger plans..." right before Shane came out and then it looked like he was in a position to get punted, I thought maybe they were going to go the route of Stephanie clearing out all threats to her power on RAW, but I guess they're going to draw out the Shane thing. Whatever.

Pretty good show otherwise.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

They could do this brilliantly, and salvage the ending easily. Have Shane keep beating the shit out of Orton, and have Shane keep challenging him. Eventually, have Orton give in, offering to give Shane a match, but if Shane loses, Stephanie is gone from raw. Steph, confident in Shane, especially since he's been kicking Orton's ass, okays the match.

No Way Out, Shane lays down, Orton wins, they reveal it was all a plan to set up Steph and get rid of her. Shane is part of the Legacy, and has soul control of Raw as Vince is injured, and Steph is gone.

[Johnny Vegas]

I think Tedious is on to something ppl...

[Londoner]

That would be good.

That would be great! Odds of it happening, probably not good.

This had so much steam and in a split second its all gone by Shane killing off the most dominant force in the Rumble the night prior. I don't get this at all. RAW ends on a sour note for me.

[Johnny Vegas]

Finger Poke

[Lock Jaw]

Shane vs. The Entire Raw Roster next week. Book it!

[Volare]

Shane vs. The Entire Raw Roster next week. Book it!

Let Santino go first...that would be comedy gold!

[RGWhat316]

Yeah I don't understand the point of that ending. Everything was building up perfectly, until the McMahon superpowers have to put themselves over again. That ending had the Kane/Shane feud written all over it. I don't get WWE sometimes. How can they ruin something that fast?

[Blitz]

Horrible, horrible booking of Randy Orton all around. I mean just absolutely godawful.

Yet again, the McMahon's have to get themselves over at the expense of the talent. Any excitement I had about the WWE product after the Rumble is pretty much gone.

[Volare]

What if Orton punted Shane in the head? Or Steph maybe? Would that bring it back?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

What if Orton punted Shane in the head? Or Steph maybe? Would that bring it back?

No. The only way Orton can save face is if it was a set up, and he was letting Shane do it to lure Steph or Shane into a false sense of security. Besides that, Orton getting his ass kicked by an out of shape McMahon who was never a real wrestler in the first place just looks bad, and it looks bad for everyone Orton has ever beat too.

[Volare]

BTW looking at the ending again, look at Shane's punches...jezus for the love of god throw something a little better!

[Blitz]

No. The only way Orton can save face is if it was a set up, and he was letting Shane do it to lure Steph or Shane into a false sense of security.

Exactly.

[Triple Naitch]

BTW looking at the ending again, look at Shane's punches...jezus for the love of god throw something a little better!

I love Shane, but he threw some of the fakest punches I have ever seen in wrestling. And that's saying a lot.

[Lock Jaw]

Worse than RVD!

[RatedGSuperstar]

Looks like Todd Martin hated the whole show. Saying TNA has nothing on RAW this week is a bit harsh, but maybe my growing mark-ness for Orton is blinding me a bit. Aside from the end of the show, I didn't think it was bad.

He keeps bitching about Orton being portrayed as a chickenshit heel on Raw like it's some kind of new development. What about the way he won the Rumble? What about punting a defenseless Vince? The guy's been acting chickenshit when the odds are against him for weeks, and he's treating it like it's a new development. I don't know...maybe I'm just more interested in seeing how this plays out before calling this Road to Wrestlemania a failure.

[Jeritron]

Why the fuck do you waste Jericho's talent on this?

Hardly a waste. It's gonna be all in the build, and you're going to have an amazing promo man going against an actor.
It should be a fun storyline, and it's big exposure. I'm sure Jericho is pumped about it. It's great for his character too.

You'd rather have him in MITB?


And if you suggest the main event, well it's just not going to happen at this stage. He held the title for a long while and had great fueds with Michaels. He'll get another go too, but not at Mania. What more do you want?

Anyone he could face at Wrestlemania he already has, or will in the next year. Why not do this while they can?
I for one think it's a good idea.

[Jeritron]

I'm sure some people would rather see him get absolutely buried by Taker too. Like they can't do that next year.

I still think Taker's got HBM this year. I think they're going to tie up JBL vs HBM at No Way Out, and Takers going to try to bring the best back out of Michaels in storyline.
Maybe the two will even tie together.

[thedamndest]

Rourke's challenge to Jericho was already in the Entertainment section of my newspaper today. This is good business.

[Jeritron]

No, Paul Burchill vs Chris Jericho in an iron man match for the titles would be good business. This is nonsense.

[thedamndest]

BAH GAWD KING! BURCHILL STILL HAS A JOB???

[HeartBreakMan2k]

No, Paul Burchill vs Chris Jericho in an iron man match for the titles would be good business. This is nonsense.

Except most fans don't even give a shit about Paul Burchill, and most causal fans don't have the attention span for an iron man match, nevermind the general public.

[Juan]

lol

[Jeritron]

Except most fans don't even give a shit about Paul Burchill, and most causal fans don't have the attention span for an iron man match, nevermind the general public.

You do realize I was being extaordinarily sarcastic right?

[Volare]

ITS STILL REAL TO HIM DAMMIT!
