Official Monday Night Raw Thread! (03/16)

[ClockShot]

This is going to be short.

[Londoner]

HHH is going to go to his hotel room and with Steph go 12 ROUNDS...out in theatres soon

lol...

[Loose Cannon]

I'm just waiting on the Edge/Christian confrontation or reunion.

[Juan]

lol so people are off the Jericho/Legends storyline bandwagon just like that?

[RatedGSuperstar]

Yeah, I'm definitely feeling an "accidental" spear coming on. It's been a month or two since they've done that spot.

[Londoner]

I fucking hate that long silence before Cena's music.

[Loose Cannon]

lol so people are off the Jericho/Legends storyline bandwagon just like that?

I'll give you this, you really are a loyal fan of the E.

just reading your posts on the board.

[Innovator]

Hustle Respect and Loyalty...

Cena teaching kids to hustle? Yay more dealers

[shadowfoxrz]

eddie for the run in :shifty:........................:'(

[Juan]

I'll give you this, you really are a loyal fan of the E

I've seen way worse. Way worse.

[Juan]

I've seen way worse. Way worse.

I don't think anything can be worse than WWE in the late 80's early 90's

[FourFifty]

eddie for the run in :shifty:........................:'(


It's a damn shame that Edge hired Test as his bodyguard.



































:(
Well someone had to give him some mention tonight.

[Lux]

1. Why do it if you're chasing somebody?

2. I was joking you dense fuck

No need for name calling, do you think I was serious?

[CSL]

eddie for the run in :shifty:........................:'(

That'd have been a fun conclusion to the Jericho angle :D

[ClockShot]

HA HA HA.

So. When did Edge raid 'Taker's wardrobe?

[Londoner]

I think tonights raw has reminded me why i rated the current product at a 5.

[Lux]

You mean a 4?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

lol so people are off the Jericho/Legends storyline bandwagon just like that?
Yeah, of course. This isn't on the Higher Power level, but it's awful close.

[Loose Cannon]

I don't think anything can be worse than WWE in the late 80's early 90's

really? not even at least 95 and 96

well agree to disagree I guess. I thought the latr 80's/ early 90's were some of the best PPV's they ever produced.

[screech]

LOL at the "Cena is a tool" sign

[Lux]

Here we go, same 5 moves. I can smell it now...

[CSL]

I don't think anything can be worse than WWE in the late 80's early 90's

:|

Do you want to fight?

[Xero]

lol

[screech]

Humpage!

[The Show Off]

lol so people are off the Jericho/Legends storyline bandwagon just like that?

It could be fun. I'll smile if Steamboat gives a deep arm drag to Jericho. It won't be a five star classic but it's been a fun story line and the culmanation should be good. Especially if Jericho wins and is able to say he beat 3 hall of famers at once.

[Lux]

LOL @ this match.

[Londoner]

lmao that segment was awful

[Xero]

Well, it's the Big Show.....

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

[Savio]

Attitude adjustment?

[CSL]

lol Vicky's chinlock

[RatedGSuperstar]

This is so retarded. Fuck. And this show was good like a month ago.

[thedamndest]

lol so people are off the Jericho/Legends storyline bandwagon just like that?

I think everyone was really hoping Austin or Hogan would be coming back. Honestly, I would have preferred a 1-on-1 match, but this does make more sense since these guys are old now and should need extra help to beat Jericho. But the problem with that is, it's not really exciting if 3 old guys barely beat Jericho, and it's still not exciting if Jericho just barely beats a gang of 3 old guys.

[Lux]

My money is on Big Show hitting the K.O on Edge.

[Mooияakeя™]

Edge turn. Attacks Big Show. calling it!

[Londoner]

Botched spear

[shadowfoxrz]

It's a damn shame that Edge hired Test as his bodyguard.


:(
Well someone had to give him some mention tonight.

Its a damn shame he passed away, when he was resigned 2 years ago i was really happy but it never panned out

:wavesad: bye Test RIP

[FourFifty]

And 10 bucks says next week they'll say Edge, The Big Show, and Vickie had a bedroom triple threat....

[screech]

Awful slaps. What kind of a woman is she?

[Lux]

OH SHIT!

[CSL]

Somebody will have a .gif of Cena's face while Edge was about to spear him online in the next 24 hours

[Xero]

Nice.

[Lux]

Now the giant is mad.

[Londoner]

What a shite ending.

[Savio]

Cena should be KO'd now

[screech]

Well that was dumb.

[Juan]

Well maybe not so much the late 80's but 1990-1995 were not exactly gems, storyline wise. A few good matches here and there, but not so great over all. and don't get me started with WCW in the early 90's. All worse than anything that's on TV now.

[Xero]

WTF kind of end is that?

[shadowfoxrz]

This is so retarded. Fuck. And this show was good like a month ago.

yeah how could they fuck it up in 4 weeks. its crazy

[Mooияakeя™]

Edge turn. Attacks Big Show. calling it!

I don't call much, but I got that one.

[ClockShot]

Meh. Whatever.

'til next week.

[Innovator]

Cena can't even act knocked out after getting two KO punches from Show?

BUT HE CAN ACT IN 12 ROUNDS!

[CSL]

They couldn't have put Jack Bauer on DURING Raw?

[Theo Dious]

They clearly need to push Mania closer to No Way Out, or else stick a minor PPV in there. Or something. They're clearly stretching their ideas too thin.

[Juan]

Honestly, I would have preferred a 1-on-1 match, but this does make more sense since these guys are old now and should need extra help to beat Jericho. But the problem with that is, it's not really exciting if 3 old guys barely beat Jericho, and it's still not exciting if Jericho just barely beats a gang of 3 old guys.

To be fair, Raw hasn't aired here yet, so I just going off of what people were saying. Ask me again after Raw

[Savio]

I wonder if they kept the subliminal curse words in the crank intro just now.

[shadowfoxrz]

They clearly need to push Mania closer to No Way Out, or else stick a minor PPV in there. Or something. They're clearly stretching their ideas too thin.

Yeah they have it set up nicley after a month but then after that it falls apart. maybe like a SNME or something along those lines :)

[Loose Cannon]

Well maybe not so much the late 80's but 1990-1995 were not exactly gems, storyline wise. A few good matches here and there, but not so great over all.

I'll give you 93-95, bit definately not 90, 91 and 92

Warrior/Hogan
Bret/Perfect
Bulldog/Bret
Savage/Warrior
Bret/Piper
Jake/Taker
Jake/Savage (my god, please tell me you at least enjoyed this)
Perfect/Flair
Flair/Piper/Hogan/Savage
Rhodes/Savage
Tag Team wrestling was still great
Rockers breakup angle

lots os classics out of those years, especially 1992 at least

[Theo Dious]

Look people, Jericho only said he was CHALLENGING them to the match. It's an even shot that Austin will come out to the tune of "why do you want to beat up on a bunch of old men, pussy, why don't you fight someone who's tank isn't almost empty?!"

[Theo Dious]

How could you leave out Warrior/Papa Shango?!

[thedamndest]

There is that too. I'm just sitting back and letting it unfold.

who's tank isn't almost empty?!.................Then Austin can literally drive a tank into wm25 and blow everyone up. :shifty:

[Loose Cannon]

Yea, normally I would praise giving time to build for Mania, but christ, they've shown they are uncapable of maintaining interest and progresing with thier storylines.

I argued this with CSL the other week and I guess they are proving they can't maintain thier angles

[Juan]

Yeah, I've seen those and I agree, I just don't think the WWF was GREAT during these times. Like I said, some great matches, but overall the product was bad. As I kid though, I loved it.

Orton/HHH is holding fairly decently, but if Orton doesn't score a point against HHH next week (or this week on Smackdown) the air is going to run out of that too.

[Loose Cannon]

point taken. I will say this. I think having less TV time and only 4 PPV's a year really really helped the product progress back then in my opinion

[Juan]

I'll agree with that too.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

not if Orton wins at Wrestlemania

[Loose Cannon]

they seriously had me so interested in that match right when Orton hit the RKO on Steph. I thought we would continue to see Orton just attack HHH's family/freinds/buddies right up to Mania. But instead they went the classic and predictable HHH way. Let's have Orton run from HHH and then get his ass kicked when HHH catches him. 3 on 1 should have some meaning to it. I don't get it. what point are they trying to get across to the audience?

[Juan]

not if Orton wins at Wrestlemania

Which I think he will.

Rated RKO for the win!

[shadowfoxrz]

who's tank isn't almost empty?!.................Then Austin can literally drive a tank into texas stadium and blow everyone up. :shifty:

because thats austins MO :naughty:

[CSL]

I wanna see Legacy kidnap Steph, maybe Triple H's teddybear too

[Savio]

well they are also doing double duty doing raw and smackdown, which they really shouldn't be.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I really think there's going to be someone siding with Jericho at Mania. Heels don't make handicap matches without having a scheme.

[shadowfoxrz]

well they are also doing double duty doing raw and smackdown, which they really shouldn't be.

thats a good point so maybe eliminate that and squeeze some PPV inbetween and it sound even out nicely

[Loose Cannon]

I really think there's going to be someone siding with Jericho at Mania. Heels don't make handicap matches without having a scheme.

it would be cool if he can bring in a legend he still has respect for or something to that effect. Or just bring in Paul Roma after the whole Horsemen DVD comments he made :lol:

[CSL]

What did he say?

[Loose Cannon]

it's much better if you see it, but he said stuff like

Flair and Anderson were jelous of him
He brought class to the Horsemen
he just totally degraded Flair and ARN.

it was classic

[Theo Dious]

it would be cool if he can bring in a legend he still has respect for or something to that effect.

Unless they can get Sammartino to show up, I doubt you're going to find an example of a legend who hasn't made recurring appearances again and again...

...or Jericho could just drag out the Honky Tonk Man.

lol wow. Been meaning to watch it for a while, never been willing to pay full retail for it though

As well as Jimmy Hart and Megaphone

ha, Bruno would be classic

Bret would be awesome being it's Jericho and Flair's there, but if Bret was to come back, it's got to be with HBK and nothing else.

it's definately one of the best, if not the best, DVD's they've done.

try downloading it

I was just thinking about that in the shower, and my first thought was 'Ric Falir heel turn??'

[Lux]

[Innovator]

Remember when Orton was about to be fired and punted Vince in the head, then won the Rumble, had the world in the palm of his hand and was a badass?

seriously! what the fuck happened :(

[Innovator]

The H

[Innovator]

and IED

[thedamndest]

<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3327/3212452676_c4255e4fc2.jpg">

Where will YOU be when IED strikes?

[thedamndest]

Blimey, this isn't the caption thread!

[Impeccable]

I was just thinking about that in the shower, and my first thought was 'Ric Falir heel turn??'

Could be a Mickey Rourke swerve

[Innovator]

Only way this can be salvaged is if Orton says the IED is bullshit and he loves to do what he does.

Then HHH can chase him around some more, pose, chase again

[RatedGSuperstar]

I think it's been implied that the IED is bullshit and was just a way for him to protect himself from being fired before he won the Rumble. The way he half-heartedly read that statement prepared by the "lawyers" led me to interpret that way, but maybe I'm wrong.

But yeah, the way they've been booking him lately is ridiculous. He's gone from putting Shane in the "hospital" after two straight nights of ass kickings to being afraid to climb a cage or coordinate an attack on a guy holding a sledgehammer when he has the numbers in his favor. The way this is going, I almost would've preferred to see Cena/Orton (if Cena had retained the World title) or at least Edge/Orton with Orton acting as a tweener for the feud.

I still believe that these two will put together a great 20-minute main event for WrestleMania (like I've said before, Orton can be lazy but main eventing the biggest WrestleMania in history and working again with HHH should be enough to keep him from getting lazy). The build has just been getting stale. At least with Stephanie making an appearance last night, maybe we'll get Vickie out of the interim GM role and Steph back as GM. But even that seems to be ass backwards, since it's usually the heel that has the GM in their back pocket, not the face.

[Team Sheep]

I was hoping for a big name like Austin or Hogan to face Jericho at Mania along with most of you, but realistically I didn't have my hopes up. This handicap match won't be bad I don't think. I don't think it's even about the match, it'll be very short and then a Wrestlemania moment afterward featuring the legends, Rourke, and possible Austin coming out for a stunner, which I'd be happy with :y:

[Anybody Thrilla]

Was Triple Naitch at this show? I saw somebody wearing a yellow and black Alfonso Ribiero t-shirt.

[Kane Knight]

lol so people are off the Jericho/Legends storyline bandwagon just like that?

Stockholm Syndrome.
