Official Raw Thread (2-2-09): I wonder if Kane can still shoot lightning bolts

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Live from Randy Orton's hometown of St. Louis

Confirmed matches:

Kofi Kingston & Rey Mysterio vs. Kane & Mike Knox

Candice Michelle vs. Beth Phoenix (Santinoooooooo)

The final spot in the Elimination Chamber will be decided

Orton and Legacy will respond to getting blown over by the wind created by Shane McMahon's fists.

[FourFifty]

That was horrible last week. You have one little guy throwing punches like Mr. T and WM3, and they all sold it. Next thing you know on Raw Shane will use his jedi powers to force Figure Four Leg Lock them.

[thedamndest]

Nah, Kane hasn't been able to shoot a lightning bolt ever since the wonder of the world disappeared.

[ClockShot]

Orton is in his backyard tonight. I expect something REALLY big to go down tonight.

[Jeritron]

Mr. T was at Wrestlemania 2, not 3. This is vital information that you need to know.

[Triple Naitch]

Anybody know where KoOS has been?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

banging fat chicks I'd assume

[Johnny Vegas]

I think they wanted to play Shane up like he is the man. Then either switch em to join Legacy or something...lol

[RatedGSuperstar]

I wonder if Mike Knox's beard can prevent Kane from jobbing again.

Candice vs. Beth should be botchtastic.

[FourFifty]

Mr. T was at Wrestlemania 2, not 3. This is vital information that you need to know.


My bad.....

[thedamndest]

Mr. T was at Wrestlemania 2, not 3. This is vital information that you need to know.

Though the simile unintentionally holds up under scrutiny. FACT.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

You know what's absurd? Shane McMahon did something that Triple H couldn't do the night before. TRIPLE H

[mike adamle]

just announced: live sex celebration- randy orton and stephanie

[Corndad]

Cena vs Jericho tonight the ad just said

[RatedGSuperstar]

Stream for anyone who needs one tonight: http://livewrestling-hd.com/

Looks like Stream 1 should have the live Raw...click around the others and you may find some retro Attitude Era stuff if you get bored.

[FourFifty]

Well, Raw just started.

WHAT'S UP BITCHES!?!??!?!

[ClockShot]

Evening everybody.

[ClockShot]

Sweet, Uconn kicked Louisville's ass.

[RawRocks]

Shane O'Mac starts it out

[Triple Naitch]

Dolla Dolla

[Corndad]

I'm hoping somehow someway they start ending this JBL/HBK fued soon so can do Taker/HBK at Mania.

[Londoner]

Here comes tha moneeeeeey


Should be a good raw.

[Londoner]

Cena v Jericho could be great.

[Corndad]

I just thought. Why exactly would Jericho be out there to back Stephanie?

[Corndad]

That segment looks alot better once it was edited lol

[ClockShot]

WE WANT ORTON! *clap clap clapclapclap*

[ClockShot]

Orton vs. Shane.

Oh gee.

[RatedGSuperstar]

No Holds Barred at NWO for Orton and Shane-O...should be interesting. Hopefully Shane can get into shape in 2 weeks.

[ClockShot]

Anybody else loving these gas mask shirts?

[FourFifty]

How'd he do it? VOODOO!!!!

[Corndad]

Well least if they let Orton dominate at NWO could be built to be a pretty sweet Heel headin into Mania

[JT]

Hey, look...Randy is digging himself out of the hole.

[Londoner]

whats the crowd chanting??

[FourFifty]

:lol: Pefrect.

[RatedGSuperstar]

ZOMG~! Orton was faking getting beaten up!

That's one way to explain Shane's bad punches.

[Londoner]

Hey, look...Randy is digging himself out of the hole.

heh yeah.

Nice explanation.

[ClockShot]

Hmmmmmm. It all makes sense.

[NeanderCarl]

Thank fuck they realised they fucked up bad enough to come up with the backtrack. Rightfully so.

[Xerzes]

Orton's thighs are way too shiny.

[FourFifty]

I wouldn't mind seeing Orton & Priceless vs Shane, Manu, and Sim next week.

[ClockShot]

Kill him, Randy.

[Londoner]

That was a good promo right up until this.


EDIT: Actually,that was good in the end.

[Xerzes]

Do that, but last week.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Shane McMahon is the Karate Kid.

[NeanderCarl]

All for nowt...

[ClockShot]

What the?

I turn my back and I see kendo stick in his hand!

[JT]

win...win...fail :(

[NeanderCarl]

They backtracked out of the awful "Shane sees off all three Legacy members" angle by explaining it away, only to re-run it again.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Jesus, all I wanted was one god damn RKO. I better get it before NWO.

[ClockShot]

Well. They got the rest of the night to make up for last week and just now.

[Londoner]

I still believe shane will get RKO'ed by the end of this show. Shane getting an advantage with a kendo stick isn't as bad as him just using punches.

[ClockShot]

Time to start my Afro Samurai commercial count.

[Corndad]

Mickie baby

[RatedGSuperstar]

MICKIE JAMES SIGHTING! Yessssssssss

[Londoner]

I just can't get into supporting cm punk for some reason.

[Londoner]

Oh god not regal again.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I don't think I've ever seen Layla wrestle

[Xerzes]

Has Layla wrestled since she was on ECW?

[RawRocks]

Why do I find this match uninteresting?

[Londoner]

fuckin weak.

[Londoner]

Why do I find this match uninteresting?

Cos regal sucks.

[ClockShot]

Lame.

[Triple Naitch]

Has Layla wrestled since she was on ECW?

Technically she still hasn't

[Londoner]

So much for WWE booking their champions to look strong.

[FourFifty]

The Blue Cage!!!!!

[NeanderCarl]

Does the Hell in a Cell not count as a steel cage match or wha'?

[Triple Naitch]

Did I just see a WWF logo?

[RatedGSuperstar]

So much for WWE booking their champions to look strong.

It's the Intercontinental title. We're lucky if WWE remembers to book a feud over it every couple months.

[NeanderCarl]

Did I just see a WWF logo?

They can use that one. Just not the scratchy one.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Does the Hell in a Cell not count as a steel cage match or wha'?
Nah, technically the rules are different so it's two different matches

[Triple Naitch]

They can use that one. Just not the scratchy one.

I never understood that. The World Wildlife Fund had an Attitude Era logo also?

[Corndad]

Performance Appraisal? hahaha

[Londoner]

hahaha what!@the hbk/jbl segment advertised

[RatedGSuperstar]

Please fire HBM tonight so we can just get that match out of the way at NWO.

And this Priceless theme still bites.

[Londoner]

This new priceless theme sucks,please change it back wwe.

[ClockShot]

Employee Performance Review? Wonderful.

Oh, and somebody switch Priceless' music.

[RawRocks]

Is it me or did Legacy oil themselves up to oblivion?

[Londoner]

:lol:@those idiot fans in the crowd

[Triple Naitch]

Is it me or did Legacy oil each other up to oblivion?

Fixed.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Is it me or did Legacy oil themselves up to oblivion?

Lesson #1 when Orton is your mentor: apply at least three bottles of baby oil as part of your match preparation.

[FourFifty]

Did I just hear a "whoop- there it is" chant?

[Corndad]

the hell was that?

[ClockShot]

Lame.....again.

[Londoner]

Ooooh,interesting.

[Xerzes]

Shad has ceremony before an elbow drop. Congratulations, Shad, you're Road Dogg.

Yes I know that was a knee. Fuck you.

[Londoner]

:shifty:

[Johnny Vegas]

Rodney King all over again

[RatedGSuperstar]

So, just to make sure I have this right...

Priceless can beat the hell out of a 6'7" guy in his mid-20s, but get owned by an out-of-shape 40-year old two weeks in a row?

[Londoner]

They still sticking with this storyline?

[FourFifty]

Why did they use Burchill's theme in the background there?

[ClockShot]

I thought Mickey backed out of this.

[Londoner]

I think they're about to cancel it.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Mike sure looks desperate in that Taco Bell commercial.

[RawRocks]

WWE needs to get their shit straight

[Corndad]

I say Rourke doesn't wrestle but shows up and costs Jericho whatever match he is in at Mania

[ClockShot]

I think it also cost him the Oscar.

[Londoner]

I say Rourke doesn't wrestle but shows up and costs Jericho whatever match he is in at Mania

That would be pointless.

[Xerzes]

Sneaky camera is sneaky.

[Londoner]

They missed out jerichos entrance?:mad:

[ClockShot]

Planning the attack.

[Corndad]

That would be pointless.

Making it perfect sense for WWE right?

[FourFifty]

That shot of Orton & Priceless was quite awesome :|

[ClockShot]

Hi Hacksaw.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Planning the attack.

Going from "Money, Money" to "Here Comes the Money"?

[Corndad]

oh please don't tell me they will bring Flair back to fill Rourke's spot.

[ClockShot]

He's paying off debts.

[Triple Naitch]

Why am I envisioning Michael Jordan in a Wizards jersey right now?

[Xero]

Flair-Jericho?

[Londoner]

Flair/jericho at wrestlemania,fuck sake.

[RawRocks]

Thank you Cena for shutting Y2J's blabbering idiot mouth

[RatedGSuperstar]

St. Louis boos Cena when he pops up. Awesome.

[ClockShot]

GO AWAY!

[Johnny Vegas]

lol @ Cena

[RatedGSuperstar]

John Cena, you've had career-threatening injuries...TWICE~!...and you're still fucking here, too.

[ClockShot]

So what does our brillant writing team have in mind for Y2J now?

[RawRocks]

John Cena, you've had career-threatening injuries...TWICE~!...and you're still fucking here, too.

at least Cena was spot on :lol:

[Triple Naitch]

Enough with the tag matches already RAW

[Londoner]

So what does our brillant writing team have in mind for Y2J now?

Jobs to Cena.

First eliminated in the elimination chamber match.

Loses to flair at wrestlemania.

:(

[NeanderCarl]

Hope this isn't pointing to a Flair comeback... heard rumblings of a Legends match at Mania to tie in with the game and the 25th Anniversary theme (it's 24th, dumbasses!)... if Rourke has balked at working with Jericho, could we end up seeing Jericho vs Flair, or a match involving Jericho, Piper, Snuka, Flair and others?

Hope not. I would like to see a Legends match at WrestleMania, but I don't want Flair to tarnish his big retirement, nor to see Jericho misused in what will essentially be a nostalgia match, all entertainment, no workrate.

[RawRocks]

So what does our brillant writing team have in mind for Y2J now?

If we could rewind it back two weeks.. I would have HBK finish off the JBL storyline and have a fired Y2J get hired by JBL.

[FourFifty]

St. Louis boos Cena when he pops up. Awesome.

As do most wrestling fans who are older than 15.

[RawRocks]

please get Rey off my TV

[NeanderCarl]

Hmmm... how about Rey vs Jericho as the fallback?

[RatedGSuperstar]

Here's to hoping Sweetums and Kane destroy the little shits.

Edit: Not to say I don't like Kingston, but there are few things more awesome than The Beard.

[Londoner]

What a fucking shit chamber match that will be, unless jericho saves it.

[Xerzes]

BEARD

[RawRocks]

http://www.santaclaracountylib.org/kids/lists/bullies_younger/bully.jpg

[RatedGSuperstar]

Alicia Fox = :drool:

[ClockShot]

So did any of our Missouri locals make it to this?

[RatedGSuperstar]

Is the crowd actually chanting "Coffee"??

[Johnny Vegas]

lol yo that fucking beard is CRAZY

[Johnny Vegas]

Alicia Fox = :drool:

[RatedGSuperstar]

http://kungfuzion.com/divas/TC01.jpg

More watchable than this match.

[Johnny Vegas]

lol DAMN that was hot

the picture and the finisher

[Londoner]

http://kungfuzion.com/divas/TC01.jpg

More watchable than this match.

:cool:

[ClockShot]

Not bad.

[Corndad]

Nice.

[Londoner]

hahahaah

[ClockShot]

YEAH!

[RawRocks]

Ambush on Shane and Steph!

[Londoner]

oh shitLOL

[FourFifty]

I was hoping he'd punt the cunt.

[Corndad]

HAHA Nice trying to Punt Steph

[ClockShot]

THE KICK IS BLOCKED! THE KICK IS BLOCKED!

[Corndad]

Well they saved it again. That was awesome.

[Hanso Amore]

Steph took a bad bump

[Triple Naitch]

Shane's gonna piss blood for months

[Londoner]

That's the IED kickin in right there.

:shifty:

[RawRocks]

i was hoping he would punt Steph.. which would have led to HHH coming back to Raw

[Johnny Vegas]

omg if he would've connected with that punt to Steph, fuck WHATEVER SCSA ever did, he would have been crowned as the toughest SOB. Nice little segment there.

[Hanso Amore]

Awesome chokeslam by Kane.

[rob11]

Is telling Orton to stop one of Malenko's thousand holds?

[Johnny Vegas]

Yea, that IED was kicking in.

[Hanso Amore]

Im on delay apparently.

I bet they are going to play shane as paralyzed

[Johnny Vegas]

Is telling Orton to stop one of Malenko's thousand holds?

If it is, he stole it from Jericho

[Londoner]

Is no way out this weekend btw??

[parkmania]

Who was the other guy there with Malenko? I didn't recognize him.

[Londoner]

Ah,2 weeks.

Anyhow,so there will be 2 chamber matches and 1 no holds barred, should be some night.

[Corndad]

Owen/Bret. Greatness.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Woo, WrestleMania X. Classic.

[Londoner]

Am gonna be getting that ladder match soon on theladdermatch dvd i think.

[Johnny Vegas]

No you aren't. If you are talking about the 3 disc set, then they actually have the 1995 Summerslam rematch :n:. And i think they did that because Shawn lost the first because there was NO WAY that one was better than the first.

[RawRocks]

Dumbest Did You Know Fact.... EVER

[FourFifty]

yay, meltyface.

[ClockShot]

Trouble with the satelite?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Rosa Mendez is hot.

[Londoner]

No you aren't. If you are talking about the 3 disc set, then they actually have the 1995 Summerslam rematch :n:. And i think they did that because Shawn lost the first because there was NO WAY that one was better than the first.

Ahh, i'm gonna go and check the match list.There's aload of good matches on it though.

[FourFifty]

Ah, it's the Glamazon and Rosa. I now care about this match. Hopefully we'll get Santino on play by play.

[Corndad]

I miss when Candice was actually kinda attractive.

[Innovator]

MY GOD CANDACE SUCKS

[Triple Naitch]

Ahh, i'm gonna go and check the match list.There's aload of good matches on it though.

I have it. It's just meh. Nothing special about it and it's missing a few matches.

[Londoner]

Why the fuck do the women always scream?

[Londoner]

I have it. It's just meh. Nothing special about it and it's missing a few matches.

I think i'll enjoy it, and yeah just checked the list, seems the match ain't on there. Ah well, i don't expect the wwe to make sense.

[ClockShot]

And they're gonna send Gail Kim to Smackdown.

Why oh why?

[Londoner]

Gee what a shock, flair hasn't retired.

[FourFifty]

SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FLAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Corndad]

Flair next week... Interesting...

[ClockShot]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I'M BROKE!

THE NATURE BOY! GOTTA PAY FOR THOSE PANTHERS SEASON TICKETS AND DIVORCES!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[RawRocks]

Well that Eliminates Y2J from winning the Elimination Chamber and puts him on on one with Flair at WMXXV

[Innovator]

Inno Fact: Inno was at Wrestlemania X, and is visible in that one shot where Razor is on top of the ladder

[Londoner]

Well that Eliminates Y2J from winning the Elimination Chamber and puts him on on one with Flair at WMXXV

Yup.

[Johnny Vegas]

Man, no offense to Flair, but just LEAVE. He had the BEST farewell ever and now he is back.

But on a different note, where the hell is Dolph Ziggler?

[RawRocks]

Okay now please end this dumb idiotic storyline

[Johnny Vegas]

That damn cow noise during his entrance makes me laugh

[Londoner]

[QUOTE=Johnny Vegas;2421658]Man, no offense to Flair, but just LEAVE. He had the BEST farewell ever and now he is back./QUOTE]


Agreed 100%.He's shitting all over his 'retirement' match and shitting on that wrestlemania.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Man, no offense to Flair, but just LEAVE. He had the BEST farewell ever and now he is back

:y:

[Johnny Vegas]

HBK looks a little younger than he usually does.

[Corndad]

John Bradshaw Lardfield HAHA

[Londoner]

Its sad that Jericho/Flair doesn't interest me at all.

[Johnny Vegas]

LOL DID YOU SEE THAT JOHN BRADSHAW LARDFILLED SIGN

[FourFifty]

I just want to see WWE bail on this storyline. I have no reason to give a damn about it anymore.

[Londoner]

Gotta be HBK/JBL at NWO,none of them are on the card.

[ClockShot]

Someone's getting fired.

[Londoner]

Doesn't HBK get payed a fuckload by Vince? This doesn't make sense.

[Londoner]

hahahaha so this is how they're gonna end it

[FourFifty]

Well that's gonna be an easy tipster's point.

[ClockShot]

Yeah. This will end a No Way Out.

Thank god.

[NeanderCarl]

Yessss! HBK vs JBL at No Way Out... thank fuck, they won't rehash the damn thing for WrestleMania, leaving the path clear for Michaels vs Undertaker.

[Londoner]

HBK a'dancing monkey' :D

[Destor]

Flair won't be wrestling next week guys.

[Johnny Vegas]

LOL I forgot how good JBL is good on the stick

[RatedGSuperstar]

I love the fact that he's slowly becoming JobberBL.

[Triple Naitch]

I hope JBL wins. He then comes to the ring as the "Heartbreak Kid" John Bradshaw Layfield wearing rhinestone chaps and praying on the entrance ramp. :D

[NeanderCarl]

LOL DID YOU SEE THAT JOHN BRADSHAW LARDFILLED SIGN

:rofl: No, I didn't but thanks for that. Heartiest laugh of the day.

[NeanderCarl]

Lardfilled Energy.

[Londoner]

I wanna see HBK in a dancing monkey outfit.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

JBL is amazing on the stick. Love it.

[FourFifty]

I now care about this angle.

[Destor]

Good stuff from HBM

[Triple Naitch]

Why does HBK look like a retard every time JBL slaps him around?

[RatedGSuperstar]

HBM gets poked and bitchslapped and goes crying home? Fuck the hell?

Did JBL buy his balls, too?

[Londoner]

I now care about this angle.

Still makes fuck all sense but the match should be good.

[ClockShot]

Yeah okay.

[Johnny Vegas]

JBL is starting to remind me of a Piper. You knew what they were saying was fake, but they way they deliver their promos/interviews, it really brings the fued into the spotlight

[Londoner]

JBL is starting to remind me of a Piper. You knew what they were saying was fake, but they way they deliver their promos/interviews, it really brings the fued into the spotlight

Yeah. I LOL everytime he says 'wrestling God' though.

[Johnny Vegas]

HBM gets poked and bitchslapped and goes crying home? Fuck the hell?

Did JBL buy his balls, too?

He said that he couldn't do anything to him. I guess HBM was playing the "you were so mad that you could almost cry" type of ordeal...i guess. He played it good though. Makes HBM the ULTIMATE underdog. This promo is EXACTLY what this angle needed.

[Johnny Vegas]

Liked Swagger's attire btw

[NeanderCarl]

Who was the other guy there with Malenko? I didn't recognize him.

Bit late I know, but it was IRS.

[RawRocks]

they just need to end this shitty storyline one way or the other... yeah, we know the economy is bad. yeah we know this WWE. making this economy into your storyline is becoming a huge fucking turn off. We DO NOT NEED TO BE REMINDED OF THIS SHIT IN WWE STORYLINES! We hear enough about it every damn fucking day on the 24 hour snooze channels.

GET OVER WITH WWE WRITING TEAM!

GOT IT?



GOOD! NOW FINISH THE FUCKING STORYLINE OFF AND END IT NOW!

[Xerzes]

But on a different note, where the hell is Dolph Ziggler?

WWE's "Live Blog", with Katie Lea.

[Londoner]

Orton v taker eh?

[FourFifty]

That made me happy.

[NeanderCarl]

What's all this about Flair next week? I didn't see that.

I may have missed it, but I swear the UK feed cuts loads of shit out either side of the commercials.

[ClockShot]

Whoa. Dead Man making a rare appearance next week.

[Londoner]

What's all this about Flair next week? I didn't see that.

I may have missed it, but I swear the UK feed cuts loads of shit out either side of the commercials.

I'm in the UK and still saw it.

[Londoner]

Supercunt gonna win again.

[RatedGSuperstar]

What's all this about Flair next week? I didn't see that.

I may have missed it, but I swear the UK feed cuts loads of shit out either side of the commercials.

Since the Rourke/Jericho thing is dead, Jericho started talking smack about Ric Flair having to resort to autograph signings in high school gyms now that his career is over. I guess they're evolving the WM matchup into Jericho/Flair since Rourke said something about Flair giving him pointers or something. Cena came on and interrupted Jericho to hype the main event tonight, then after the commercial Lawler said something about Flair responding next week on Raw.

[ClockShot]

Fuck. Kobe dropped 61 on my Knicks.

[Juan]

^ New MSG record :yes:

[ClockShot]

:nono:

[Johnny Vegas]

Maybe i'm just being a toxic cock but unless Flair cuts some hot ass promo next week, this potential Jericho/Flair buildup is NOT doing anything for me. Like, i have NO interest whatsoever. I would've LOVED to see a Christian/Jericho match.

[Londoner]

Maybe i'm just being a toxic cock but unless Flair cuts some hot ass promo next week, this potential Jericho/Flair buildup is NOT doing anything for me. Like, i have NO interest whatsoever. I would've LOVED to see a Christian/Jericho match.

Same here.

[Londoner]

Nice DDT by jericho.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Lawler: That's a blatant choke!

...kinda the point of that hold, no?

[Johnny Vegas]

FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE

[Londoner]

Fuckin good part of the match there.

[RatedGSuperstar]

So the FU is now the "Attitude Adjustment"? WTF? They couldn't come up with anything better?

[Londoner]

And here

[ClockShot]

Nice.

[Johnny Vegas]

Jericho needs this win more than Cena

[Londoner]

Oh do fuck off wwe

[Johnny Vegas]

LOL CMON DUDE

[ClockShot]

Wow. Jericho didn't put a fight in that reversal.

[NeanderCarl]

If anyone needs an attitude adjustment its Cena.

[ClockShot]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! PAY DAY NEXT WEEK!

[Londoner]

Cena wins

Crowd goes silent

[RatedGSuperstar]

So the WWE must be ridiculously desperate for ratings if they're hyping both Flair and Taker for Raw next week.

At least the main event had some parts that didn't suck. That's kinda new for this show lately.

[Johnny Vegas]

THIS GUY CANNOT BE BEAT. LIKE I SERIOUSLY THINK HE CANNOT BE BEAT AT THIS POINT IN HIS CAREER. I LIKE CENA BUT WTF, EVEN STONE COLD WOULD LOSE MATCHES AS THE WWF/E CHAMP. THE ROCK. I DONT KNOW ABOUT HHH BUT CMON.

[NeanderCarl]

You know what, I don't think they will go with Jericho vs Flair. I think they will go with Jericho vs ??? w/ Flair.

Clearly they had to get Flair on the scene, to announce Steamboat's induction and promote WrestleMania.

You really think Vince has gone from two weeks ago not wanting anything to do with Flair and turning down Austin's request for Flair to induct him, to two weeks later giving the non-contracted Flair a high profile WrestleMania match, him having not wrestled for a year? No chance.

[RatedGSuperstar]

THIS GUY CANNOT BE BEAT. LIKE I SERIOUSLY THINK HE CANNOT BE BEAT AT THIS POINT IN HIS CAREER. I LIKE CENA BUT WTF, EVEN STONE COLD WOULD LOSE MATCHES AS THE WWF/E CHAMP. THE ROCK. I DONT KNOW ABOUT HHH BUT CMON.

Just wait until he gives an "Attitude Adjustment" to Kane and Mike Knox like three seconds apart at NWO.

The craptastic Raw chamber is complete with Kane now. At this point, I'm just hoping Knox or Kane throws Rey or Coffee through the glass or something.
