Official Raw Thread 3/30/09 LAWLER TAKES OFF THE HEADSET!

[CSL]

Does anybody else see this match as a potential draw?

Nah, I think Taker is a cert

[Xero]

Does anybody else see this match as a potential draw?

This match is THE draw for Mania. Everything else is secondary. Yes, even Orton/Hunter, but only at a slightly lesser level than Taker/Michaels.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Does anybody else see this match as a potential draw?

It's pretty much the only reason I'm watching Mania. Everything else is just a bonus.

[Johnny Vegas]

Yea, Michaels has been getting the last laugh too many times. He is going to lose at WM. I mean, just like Cena. Cena has been getting his ass kicked for some time and usually that means that that person will win.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

This match is THE draw for Mania. Everything else is secondary.

:y:

[Londoner]

It's pretty much the only reason I'm watching Mania. Everything else is just a bonus.

Or not.

[thedamndest]

The story is that Michaels is letting his pride get in the way of his ability and that is why he will lose. Bank on it.

[Innovator]

This match is Mania

Oh fuck 12 Rounds, FUTURAMAS ON

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Or not.

True, I guess I should have said HHH/Orton and MitB are the bonuses.

[CSL]

BAH GAWD A 12 ROUNDS TRAILER WITH NO MICHAEL COLE LEAD IN!! I AM SO CONFUUUUUUUSED

[ron the dial]

it kills me that they need to recap so much. fuck i just watched it.

[ron the dial]

i really do love how king is still rocking one strap though

[FourFifty]

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!! MORE HALL OF FAME STUFF!!!!!!!!

[FourFifty]

SUMMER OF PUNK!!!!!!!

[Corndad]

Sweet they brought back the Cult of Personality Promo

[ron the dial]

SUMMER OF PUNK!!!!!!!
YES

[Londoner]

AUSTIN!!!!!! AUSTIN!!!!!! AUSTIN!!!!!

[Volchok]

God I fucking miss Stone Cold and the Attitude Era.

[The Show Off]

I just heard Cult of Personality and I almost maked out thinking CM Punk was given that as his ring music... Ahh that would have been sweet.

[RawRocks]

Austin 3:16
When WWE Wrestling was cool

[Innovator]

CM PUNK! CM PUNK!...oh ...Austin

AUSTIN

[Xero]

THE FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINK! :love:

[FourFifty]

When are they going to say <strike>Vince McMahon</strike> who is going to put SCSA in?

[Xero]

WrestleMania rundown!

Well, honestly, aside from the Taker/Michaels promo, this has been a terrible go-home show.

[mike adamle]

how come shawn was getting mauled by jericho a few months ago and now he's mauling

[Corndad]

Speaking of Punk...

[Londoner]

LMAO here we go

[RatedGSuperstar]

Never a good sign when your security is scrawnier than CAWdy.

[FourFifty]

Over the top rope ladder match- A Russo Revolution!

[Xero]

It's not an 8-man tag, it's an 8-man battle royal this time!

[Droford]

Jericho > Taker

I hope they go a full year with the Jericho > Legends thing and have him face Taker at WM 26.

[Londoner]

damnit damnit damnit. I thought they would say tag team match.


:mad: :mad::mad:

[HeartBreakMan2k]

how come shawn was getting mauled by jericho a few months ago and now he's mauling

Because he's no longer Emo Michaels, he's now THE Showstoppa. Makes a difference. :yes:

[ron the dial]

oh dear lord

[FourFifty]

Speaking of Christian, idea where to get a clear version of his theme?

[Gerard]

OK this next match im making an amazing prediction, at the end a few of them are gonna stand around gawking and pointing at a suitcase and probably get laid into each other.

[Xero]

Jericho > Taker

I hope they go a full year with the Jericho > Legends thing and have him face Taker at WM 26.

So basically Randy Orton: Legend Killer II...

Yeah, no. The match for Jericho at Mania is my biggest letdown this year.

[Volchok]

I hate commercials.

[Xero]

OK this next match im making an amazing prediction, at the end a few of them are gonna stand around gawking and pointing at a suitcase and probably get laid into each other.

Maybe someone will bring that ladder into the ring which they conveniently left at ringside.

[Volchok]

Does that brinks stuff actually happen? Like do they really call you right away?

[shadowfoxrz]

Does that brinks stuff actually happen? Like do they really call you right away?

yes they are fast

[Xero]

How the fuck is the WWE Encyclopedia on the New York Times' Best Seller list?

[RatedGSuperstar]

Awww, they went with the WWE Encyclopedia plug instead of the 12 Rounds update.

[Gerard]

Maybe someone will bring that ladder into the ring which they conveniently left at ringside.

As long as they get the case and dryhump it then thats fine. √

[CSL]

A Hardy package. Sweet

[Londoner]

remember when tag titles mattered?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Yeah, no. The match for Jericho at Mania is my biggest letdown this year.

I agree, especially since I think this is going to be one of the ''Send 'em home happy" matches with the Legends going over after a SCSA run in.

[FourFifty]

No matter how crappy or weird the stroyline gets the WWE pulls it all out when they do these promos.

[ron the dial]

i really hate it when punk wears that cubs ring attire

[Xero]

remember when tag titles mattered?

Remember when they had a tag division?

[screech]

LOL Swog

[Xero]

What's Rey Mysterio doing at ringside?

[Gerard]

What is it with punk always looking like he's loosening up his wrists to prepare for a "hand shandy".

[Londoner]

Hornswoggle fucked up:D

[HeartBreakMan2k]

No matter how crappy or weird the stroyline gets the WWE pulls it all out when they do these promos.

Agreed. Amazing AV guys.

[DrA]

Why does the WWE keep telling us how great they are? They are the number one rated show on cable, their encylopedia is on the bestseller list. We get it, we are lucky to be able to watch such a wonderful show.

[CSL]

i really hate it when punk wears that cubs ring attire

Pepsi

[FourFifty]

Gotta admit- Mark Henry doesn't suck as much as everyone says.... but just slightly so. He still does suck balls, not not sweaty balls.

[shadowfoxrz]

Remember when they had a tag division?

awwwwww yeah........ X Factor :shifty:

[Londoner]

Remember when they had a tag division?

True.

[screech]

"Absolutely suplex" what the hell, King?

[Gerard]

Kofis ring attire aint politicaly correct, there is literally a nigger on multiple places on it.

[ron the dial]

Pepsi
no chicago cubs since he is a huge fan

[Londoner]

"Absolutely suplex" what the hell, King?

He's still recovering from Jericho's beatdown innit.....

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Gotta be honest. If I were in this match, I'd just jump my happy ass over the top rope and be done. Let the other guys hurt each other prior to the match. Although none of the guys in this match really have that type of gimmick.

[CSL]

no chicago cubs since he is a huge fan

Does he have a giant Cubs logo on his bicep or call his old finish 'The Cubs Plunge'?

[DrA]

Jason Reso is a better wrestling name than Christian Cage

[Xero]

Think Kane's gonna win Money in th-:rofl:

Couldn't even finish it.

[TGR]

Kane won.

wtf

[Gerard]

Here comes the ladder!!!

[RawRocks]

no chicago cubs since he is a huge fan

Pepsi.. Cubs.. what the difference ... they both suck .. Dr. Pepper rules!

[FourFifty]

That match made my Kane mask tattoo happy.



GOD DAMN IT! I DIDN'T GET AROUND TO TOUCHING IT UP!!!!

[ron the dial]

i'm telling you right now that those are cubs logos on his trunks and boots. guaranteed.

[RGWhat316]

LOL, Kane wins it all.

[Londoner]

What a shite ladder

[Xero]

Why doesn't someone just take the briefcase and open it? I bet the contract is in there right now. Sign it and just don't show up for Mania.

[Triple Naitch]

We are sooo getting those shirts

[RawRocks]

nice Legacy shirts

[Xero]

What a shite ladder

Yeah, what, are they cutting back on black paint?

[Gerard]

Dibiase is letting the side down with no tshirt on.

[CSL]

i'm telling you right now that those are cubs logos on his trunks and boots. guaranteed.

I will fight you over this, fisticuff style

[RatedGSuperstar]

Why doesn't someone just take the briefcase and open it? I bet the contract is in there right now. Sign it and just don't show up for Mania.

Sounds Edge-like. Love it.

[Xero]

John Cena REALLY DOESN'T CARE!

[Volchok]

Steph heel turn?

[DrA]

Why is the WWE championship match at Wrestlemania Edge vs. Big Show vs. John Cena? That sounds like a No Mercy main event to me.

[ron the dial]

I will fight you over this, fisticuff style
i will bring my happy ass over to your side of the world to settle this. be prepared, csl, be prepared.

[KYR]

Why doesn't someone just take the briefcase and open it? I bet the contract is in there right now. Sign it and just don't show up for Mania.

:lol: I've thought that for several years as well.

It's all part of that WWE. Logic. (2 sentences) :shifty:

[Loose Cannon]

So....everyone needs to check on the welfare of HBK and Taker because they are fucking carrying the WWE on thier backs right now heading into Mania

[FourFifty]

Think Kane's gonna win Money in th-:rofl:

Couldn't even finish it.


..............................:(

[Xero]

I am so tired of this commercial.

[Loose Cannon]

my god and can they book any more matches with the guys from the Money In the Bank fighting each other in the same match before the PPV?

thanks

[RGWhat316]

Oh so Ted can't fit in with the group and wear the Legacy shirt as well?

[Xero]

..............................:(

:(


















*snicker*

[Gerard]

Vince and shane have to show up tonight.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Oh so Ted can't fit in with the group and wear the Legacy shirt as well?

Well, technically he never won a match to get into the group.

:shifty:

[screech]

..............................:(

:(

[Xero]

Hey look, it's Kid Rock.

If I didn't know any better I'd think it was 2000 again.

Of course, watching WWE programming quickly disproves that.

[FourFifty]

WHY ARE THEY FILLING MANIA UP WITH CRAP!?!?!? FIRST THE CHICK FROM THE PUSSYCAT DOLL, NOW KID ROCK!?!?!?!


Can't they get Rick Astley instead?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

my god and can they book any more matches with the guys from the Money In the Bank fighting each other in the same match before the PPV?
thanks

Don't say that, they've still got ECW and Smackdown. Plenty of time for more matches.

[Gerard]

That cunt gets slower walking down every week. :foc:

[Corndad]

Nice Haircut Randy

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I HEAR VOICES IN MY HEAD

[RGWhat316]

Saving the best for last Mr RKO

[HeartBreakMan2k]

That cunt gets slower walking down every week. :foc:

He wants to hear his awesome theme song you bastard.

[Corndad]

That cunt gets slower walking down every week. :foc:

:lol:

[Londoner]

If I didn't know any better I'd think it was 2000 again.


I wish!:(

[Gerard]

Here we go "triple h i licked your wife hurr hurrr dribble".

[DrA]

Fucking hate Randy Orton.

[FourFifty]

I hope this is just a 7 min spot for the new Legacy shirt.

[screech]

He has weird ears

[Xero]

Well, at least Orton is a heat magnet.

[shadowfoxrz]

WHY ARE THEY FILLING MANIA UP WITH CRAP!?!?!? FIRST THE CHICK FROM THE PUSSYCAT DOLL, NOW KID ROCK!?!?!?!


Can't they get Rick Astley instead?

that plug was almost as bad as the 12 rounds commercials......but it was funny lol :lol:

[HeartBreakMan2k]

RKO RKO RKO RKO RKO RKO RKO RKO

[ron the dial]

Well, at least Orton is a heat magnet.
if he wasn't getting heat by now he never would

[Gerard]

He wants to hear his awesome theme song you bastard.


Well the cheap jew can buy the cd and stop whoring as much time as possible. :foc:

[Xero]

Holy shit, something that happened more than a month ago.

[Londoner]

yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh

[RatedGSuperstar]

Wait, that couldn't have possibly happened. It didn't take place in the last three months.

[ron the dial]

i do like the fact that they actually used some, you know, history to build this feud. well done.

[RGWhat316]

WM is the time to make up for that night.

[FourFifty]

Orton looks better with hair.

[Gerard]

Well, at least Orton is a heat magnet.

So's vickie so thats really not saying much when her biggest gimmick is screeching 2 words over and over again. :nono:

[CSL]

Orton looks more and more like his Smackdown vs. RAW character every time I see him

[screech]

They don't erase everything that's more than a month old?

[RGWhat316]

My favorite live moment, Orton winning in Detroit.

[CSL]

So's vickie so thats really not saying much when her biggest gimmick is screeching 2 words over and over again. :nono:

It's all about the small things. You think any random bird could go and do that? Ditto for Orton and any random heel

[FourFifty]

So's vickie so thats really not saying much when her biggest gimmick is screeching 2 words over and over again. :nono:

EXCUSE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gerard]

It's all about the small things. You think any random bird could go and do that? Ditto for Orton and any random heel

If the random bird gerts enough of a slapping before hand then yes. :y:

[Xero]

It's all about the small things. You think any random bird could go and do that? Ditto for Orton and any random heel

Any half-ugly fat woman with an annoying voice could.

[FourFifty]

What about Linda?

[ron the dial]

i really really wish that the WHAT would go away

[Londoner]

My prediction: Vince ends up counting the three to help triple h win at Mania.

[RatedGSuperstar]

IT'S SLOBBERIN' TIME!

[Loose Cannon]

Orton at his peak in this angle right there :(

[DrA]

I RKO'd his wife.

[Gerard]

Oh here we go, no ied.

[RGWhat316]

LOL, no IED.

[screech]

Finally throwing out that IED crap

[Xero]

Shouldn't WWE sue Orton for falsifying the IED thing?

[Innovator]

Finally says IED is bullshit

[ron the dial]

yes saying the ied was bunk

[FourFifty]

[Loose Cannon]

lol "Born Better" awesome

[Xero]

Did they just censor "pissed off"?

[Innovator]

AWESOME

[Gerard]

LOL look at the veins on his head. RANDY MAD UG UGGG UGGG

[shadowfoxrz]

My prediction: Vince ends up counting the three to help triple h win at Mania.

My prediction is Stone Cold runs in, stuns everyone and counts 1 2 3 himself and wins :shifty: :D

[Loose Cannon]

I want that shirt now

[screech]

Shouldn't WWE sue Orton for falsifying the IED thing?

That makes too much sense.

[RatedGSuperstar]

I love the "Born Better" phrase on the back of the Legacy shirt, FWIW. That should probably be on the front of the shirt, though.

[Londoner]

Did they just censor "pissed off"?

yup :mad:

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Orton just drew a shit ton of heat but he sounded like a 14 year old on a tangent.

[Loose Cannon]

My prediction is Stone Cold runs in, stuns everyone and counts 1 2 3 himself and wins :shifty: :D

no no. Stone Cold rides ATV's to the ring now and days

[Xero]

So basically this is a "recap the entire feud" promo.....

Yeah...

This should have been done last week.

[screech]

They really did censor "pissed off," didn't they?

[Volchok]

what part of this is gonna change the wwe universe?

[DrA]

Ok, he is going to make an announcement I guess, but he spends the first twenty minutes showing some video montage beforehand?

[Gerard]

They censored ass earlier s well. =/

[Loose Cannon]

still don't understand why Orton didn't pull his cock out and force it in here mouth there??? that's pretty PG

[Gerard]

Whar be the vince!

[Loose Cannon]

So basically this is a "recap the entire feud" promo.....

Yeah...

This should have been done last week.

they probably just assumed not a lot of people watched so they better just recap this whole thing

[Xero]

still don't understand why Orton didn't pull his cock out and force it in here mouth there??? that's pretty PG
That'd only be Pretty Gay if he put it in Hunter's mouth.

[FourFifty]

what part of this is gonna change the wwe universe?


BUT DON'T YOU SEE THIS IS GOING TO BE THE GREATEST THING EVER IN THE HISTORY OF EVERYTHING IN THE WWE UNIVERSE TITLE!!????!?!??!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?ZOMFGODDAMG!!!!!

[RGWhat316]

OK, I dont like where this is going. Orton has too much in his favor.

[Xero]

So where's Hunter?

[screech]

HO SNAP

[Londoner]

OMG THEY HAVE LIKE,SOOOOOOOOO CHANGED THE WWE UNIVERSE WITH THIS PROMO!!!!!!!!

[ron the dial]

business is about to pick up

[Gerard]

For fuck sake get the caveman out swinging the sledge hammer and be done with it

[Xero]

Vince I bet.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Orton got the rules changed by talking to Vickie? Isn't Steph back? Doesn't her perpetual role in the company trump Vickie's "interim GM" label? No?

[Loose Cannon]

BAH GAWD HERE HE COMES STONE COLD STONE COLD STONE COLD

[CSL]

Triple H is the bosses son and he's only now just showing up at the building?? Way to set an example :roll:

[FourFifty]

FOR THE WOR--!!!! AH!!!! WHAT WAS HE GOING TO SAY!!!! HE NEVER FINISHED!!!!!!!

[Gerard]

lol not even enough security to fully block the ramp

[DrA]

I don't think I could ever take someone named "Cody" seriously.

[Xero]

Two people were in there... Doubt Steph would get out like that.

[screech]

NO CHANCE IN HELL

[Xero]

Called it, lol.

[Gerard]

I called it!!

[CSL]

The Vin Man

[Londoner]

See,here's Vince

[RGWhat316]

Vince??

[ron the dial]

kind of glad to see vince here

[RatedGSuperstar]

Again, not a good sign for you if your security guards weigh 140 pounds.

[FourFifty]

Gotta admit, I got a small chubby at that.

[screech]

MAC DADDY

[Lux]

Not looking good for Orton right now.

[Xero]

LOL! NICE!

[Londoner]

SHANE!!!!!!!!

[ron the dial]

ok now this is going to get ridiculous

[Johnny Vegas]

lol the whole god damn family

[Lux]

fucked

[screech]

THE SHUFFLE

[Gerard]

They obviously had a premonition about ied being bs. Funny that.

[Innovator]

oh for fuck sake

[RawRocks]

Here comes the money!!!!!!!!!!!

[FourFifty]

Last Minute booking for WM- Vince & Shane vs Priceless.

[RGWhat316]

WTF? all of them?

[screech]

Okay he didn't do it, but I did

[Xero]

LOL, oh shit.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

THE ODDS ARE EVEN NOW KING BAH GAWD

[Johnny Vegas]

Even when HHH is mad, he's got that damn water bottle

[Lux]

3 on 3 or 3 on 7 with security.

[KYR]

Gotta admit, I got a small chubby at that.

The truth will always come out. :lol:

[FourFifty]

My sister is marking out. It's funny.

[Innovator]

I miss the days when HHH would turn riught now and Pedigree Shane or Vince

[FourFifty]

"We're outta time! We gotta go, we gotta go!"

[screech]

Security gettin their days wrecked

[Lux]

Minus the security.

[Innovator]

SHANE STOP THROWING PUNCHES

[CSL]

lol Vince getting a kick in 'cause he didn't get to nail any of 'em

[JT]

Shane with the fake punches

[Xero]

Vince looks ridiculous. He needs to grow his hair out again.

[Londoner]

What brilliant 'security'

[screech]

LOL at Vince on Ted

[ron the dial]

Vince looks ridiculous. He needs to grow his hair out again.
lol no way i love that short side part

[shadowfoxrz]

no no. Stone Cold rides ATV's to the ring now and days

No ATV's. Austin is going to drive a black undercover police car that has 12 rounds written on it. win the title and drink 12 rounds of beer and then make houston pay for 70,000 tickets and they will watch the movie right there on ppv.........oUr money was wasted on wresltemania 25..12 ROUNDS

[DrA]

Was it really necessary for him to take his shirt off before getting into the fight

[FourFifty]

GORE!!! GORE!!! GOOOOORRRREEEE!!!!

[Loose Cannon]

FUCK, I thought he had the RKO THERE :mad:

[RGWhat316]

Shane's punches still suck.

[Londoner]

Oh do fuck off they're ending it now?

[Xero]

WE'RE OUTTA TIME!

[CSL]

lol you just know Ted's a bit wary of getting anything on Vince

[ron the dial]

so they go out on the beatdown? fucking lame.

[screech]

HOLY CLIFFHANGER, BATMAN

[FourFifty]

Well, that was fun. Hopefully I'll be back in CA in time from Mania to be here next week!

[Gerard]

SEE SEE, fucking orton taking his time we coulda had 30 more seconds :foc:

[Londoner]

WWE logic : commercials > Ratings

[Xero]

So this sets up the potential swerve on Hunter and we're back with the McMahons ruling the WWE's heel side.

[RatedGSuperstar]

LOL...not even a "WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AT WRESTLEMANIA!?!?!" from Cole to close out the show.

[Loose Cannon]

So this sets up the potential swerve on Hunter and we're back with the McMahons ruling the WWE's heel side.

only with Orton picking up dog shit for Steph now

[shadowfoxrz]

No ATV's. Austin is going to drive a black undercover police car that has 12 rounds written on it. win the title and drink 12 rounds of beer and then make houston pay for 70,000 tickets and they will watch the movie right there on ppv.........oUr money was wasted on wresltemania 25..12 ROUNDS

AND I WILL BE PISSED :rant:

[screech]

So this sets up the potential swerve on Hunter and we're back with the McMahons ruling the WWE's heel side.

I like the idea of Shane at the helm, but Vince lately hasn't done it for me.

[Jeritron]

epic

[CSL]

I hope the McMahon's don't screw Trips or if they do, they better explain it really well

[Xero]

I hope the McMahon's don't screw Trips or if they do, they better explain it really well

It's all about THE MONAAYYYYY!

[Jeez]

Vince looked lost.

[thedamndest]

So this week Triple H hid the McMahons up his ass to use against Legacy.

[RGWhat316]

I guess its even now, Orton can't win without Legacy, and HHH cant win without the McMahons.

[James Steele]

I don't think they will have HHH/Orton close the show because Randy Orton will win. I have that same punch-in-the-gut feeling I had going into WrestleMania 22 and 23.

[ron the dial]

of course randy orton will win

[Dorkchop]

Wait so JBL and Rey have a match on Sunday for the IC belt, but they wrestled tonight one on one with Rey winning cleanly? Way to kill the already little interest I had in this match (which was very little).

Taker/HBK is going to be awesome. I hope their feuds lasts until Summerslam. Their promos have been awesome.

[Londoner]

Vince looked lost.

He was probably stunned at how stoned HBK looked.

[Mooияakeя™]

I hope the McMahon's do screw Trips and explain it really well

[Team Sheep]

Well, that was fun. Hopefully I'll be back in CA in time from Mania to be here next week!

Not staying in Houston for Raw? :'(
