Official Raw Thread 5/25/09: Vince vs. Kroenke

[Triple Naitch]

Confirmed for tonight:

Team Lakers (Faces) vs. Team Nuggets (Heels)

Vince confronts Kroenke

Maryse vs. Kelly Kelly for Divas Championship.

[Corndad]

This should be magnificient lol Knowing Vince and all the press he got this week it may just be a show they put everything into tonight and could be a good one.

[Calamondin]

Vince doesn't know when to stop. If they keep shoving this Denver stuff, I'll be tuning out. I have a horrible feeling Vince vs. Kroenke will be in the same vein as Rosie vs. Trump or Hilary vs. Obama.

[ClockShot]

Break out the boots, gentlemen. The shit is definately going to pile up.

[Mooияakeя™]

So it's defo happening in Denver then? Sry haven't kept up. What was the resolution?

[Triple Naitch]

It's in Los Angeles

[ClockShot]

A few arenas reached out to complement RAW. Staples Center in L.A. was one of them. Home of the Lakers. And that's what Vince choose.

[thecc]

From da Meltz

Last word was Stan Kroenke would be played by either PWG wrestler Excalibur or a local ring announcer, and the decision was going down whether to open the show with it, or put it at 9:55 p.m. and have it be on at 10 p.m., which is traditionally the No. 2 segment on the show.

[Mooияakeя™]

Wow. Shit gonna hit the fan then I take it. Think of how many fans must be pissed too. I mean, how they manage to sell tickets for LA so quick? Big following I guess. Dunno if it'll be a sell-out. Unless WWE bussed a few of them to LA from Denver.

[Triple Naitch]

I think I read somewhere that it did not sell well.

[Corndad]

Cool Opening. Props.

[Triple Naitch]

As a result of such short notice, this week's WWE tapings at the STAPLES Center are being heavily papered. Furthermore, WWE's even offering a coupon (http://rajah.com/base/node/16135#) where fans can get 20% off any priced ticket to either night's event.
(http://rajah.com/base/node/16135#)

[ClockShot]

Nice opening.

[ClockShot]

Sky boxes are empty.

[Corndad]

Yup least getting this stuff out of the way early

[FourFifty]

Nice

[Hanso Amore]

I love how Vince will put this garbage on TV just to satisfy his ego.

[Triple Naitch]

WWE is the definition of the saying "any publicity is good publicity"

[Hanso Amore]

I mean, the guy is a dick and fucked Vince over...But come on.

[Corndad]

HAHA a Stern look a like

[Hanso Amore]

Is that really Buss?

[ClockShot]

What the?

Fake Stern, Nicholson, and Buss?

Shoot me, please.

[Hanso Amore]

THats not David Stern...What the fuck?

[Triple Naitch]

The David Stern lookalike looks like Stern if he had AIDs

[The Chris Rosa]

That's the fakest looking Nicholson ever...

[Mooияakeя™]

Right, well I'm off to bed. Will look forward to reading this stuff tomorrow afternoon. Have a good one everyone. Hope this is a decent RAW this time round!

[thecc]

Booo at no excalibur

[FourFifty]

[ClockShot]

Don't get your hopes up.

[Zeeboe]

This is the first Raw I've been excited about in a very long time. :y:

[CSL]

lol Vince's halo

[ClockShot]

Anyone know the password/access code to Juan's vault?

I'd say ask Xero. But Juan is here right now.

[Hanso Amore]

XBA lol

[FourFifty]

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!! XBA!!!!!!!!!

[ClockShot]

Good thing I sold my stock a while back.

[Triple Naitch]

Anyone know the password/access code to Juan's vault?

sandwich

[FourFifty]

Enus?

[The Chris Rosa]

This is the best RAW has been in EVER.

[Zeeboe]

This is the best RAW has been in EVER.

Not ever, but in a very, very long time, yeah.

[Triple Naitch]

The Miz?

[ClockShot]

DA MIZ!

[shadowfoxrz]

Vince LOVED that segment. His face said it all when he pushed Enus....Ha

[ClockShot]

Last time I checked, a Mr. John Morrison came from L.A. if I'm not mistaken.

[thedamndest]

YES! MIZ IS THE MAN! LEBRON SHOW!

[Fox]

Oh Miz

[The Chris Rosa]

We should get this kind of reaction for football season. I'd flip every monday. (Depending on who'd be playing)

[Blakeamus]

I hope Cena's kidney explodes!

[Fox]

No muzak?

[Hanso Amore]

You would think after 2 straight Spinebusters, COdy wouldnt have thought better than to run right into it.

[Triple Naitch]

Lol, Lawler in Lakers colors.

[Stealth-Icon]

The Miz needs to go away

[ClockShot]

Ewwwwwwww. Jerry just blinded my eyes.

[Fox]

Lawler? Why? Did I miss something?

[Fox]

So, WWE is trying to use the NBA to boost their ratings?

[Triple Naitch]

Kelly/Maryse is going to be a wank fest for me :naughty:

[ClockShot]

Lawler hit the ring in his attire. But it was really bright Lakers colors.

[Blakeamus]

Do you all think that Mr. Kennedy is the 5th person?

[shadowfoxrz]

You would think after 2 straight Spinebusters, COdy wouldnt have thought better than to run right into it.

Yeah he watched the whole second spinebuster. Oh well, he is just a goon.

[Hanso Amore]

No shit.

I would give up a leg to get a shot and a 3 way suck and fuck fest with those 2.

[Hanso Amore]

Do you all think that Mr. Kennedy is the 5th person?

HHH

[Hanso Amore]

Yeah he watched the whole second spinebuster. Oh well, he is just a goon.

Fucking Rats can figure out that biting the cheese shocks them after 2 times.

But Cody sees that shit, and is like "Eureka, I got it..."

Rinse Repeat.

[shadowfoxrz]

Do you all think that Mr. Kennedy is the 5th person?

Mr. Kennedy Kennedy would be cool but i want HBK. :) The Showstoppa

[shadowfoxrz]

Fucking Rats can figure out that biting the cheese shocks them after 2 times.

Rinse Repeat.

Orton should hire some rats then :shifty:

[Blakeamus]

If it's HBK, I would not be upset at all.

[Hanso Amore]

its been awhile since we had a Diva Mega Botch Injury. I want one tonight.

[Hanso Amore]

Did Jillian just say Montreal, Ontario?

Fucking idiots.

[Fox]

Bimbo War

[Triple Naitch]

CSLi's not here so I'll do it for him.

MAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE :love:

[Hanso Amore]

God Kelly is such a shitty worker.

[ClockShot]

Enough with the screaming.

[Hanso Amore]

I like Maryse so much though.

[Blakeamus]

A countout eh?

[ClockShot]

Shit ending.

[Triple Naitch]

Diavs Extreme Rules Match :D

[shadowfoxrz]

Enough with the screaming.

Screaming is okay but when you add clothes being ripped off :yes:

[shadowfoxrz]

Land of the Lost looks funny as hell :rofl::rofl:

[The Chris Rosa]

White Castle > Krystal

[KIRA]

God they wont stop....GOLDY!@

[FourFifty]

I'm just happy that Goldust is on tv and has a paycheck.

[Hanso Amore]

Goldust? LOL.

[Corndad]

Goldy got torrets gimmick back??

[Blakeamus]

Goldy/Horny = RATINGS!

[ClockShot]

I'm just happy that Goldust is on tv and has a paycheck.

If I was you, I'd punch out for the night.

[Hanso Amore]

God, What a horrible Nicholson.

[Stealth-Icon]

God what a horrible Goldust

[Blakeamus]

WHHOOOOOOOOO!

[KIRA]

I'd love for goldust to become a serious competitor again

[ClockShot]

I hope Randy kicks Flair for 3 tonight.

[shadowfoxrz]

Goldust a surefire Hall of Famer...................... Looking for the shifty, well you wont get it :D

[shadowfoxrz]

God, What a horrible Nicholson.

God what a horrible Batista.

[The Chris Rosa]

Flair is still the man. Obviously.

[Blakeamus]

Ditto.

[Stealth-Icon]

I'd love for goldust to become a serious competitor again

You will win the lottery before that happens

[shadowfoxrz]

Flair is still the man. Obviously.

Woooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

[thedamndest]

More like Fat Hardy.

What's up?

[The Chris Rosa]

Let Kendrick in this match, dammit!

[Blakeamus]

Jamaica me crazy!

[ClockShot]

Matt better hit the gym.

[The Chris Rosa]

Wow, the black Mega Powers collide.

[Hanso Amore]

Sucker Punch, then he had his way with him?

Sounds like how I was conceived.

[ClockShot]

Orton speaks the truth.

[The Chris Rosa]

There is a god!

[Hanso Amore]

Kennedy looks off...

[FourFifty]

Let us enjoy the company of Mr. Kennedy while he is here, because we all know within 2 months of his in-ring return he'll get injured again.


























.............AGAIN!!!!

[ClockShot]

Who died and threw Kennedy on a rocket to the top?

[Corndad]

Yup Kennedy.

[Hanso Amore]

Looks like Kennedy lost alot of weight too.

[ClockShot]

All that fucking time Randy is just standing there when he could be beating the shit out of him.

[thedamndest]

WWE.com is reporting that Mr. Kennedy just tore his bicep during that promo and will be out for three months.

[shadowfoxrz]

I hate how kennedy presents himself when he is in a promo with someone else. The head shaking and when someone else is talking he is in thier face saying hmmm, what, uh huh. I HATE THAT. He was better before he started that. Why could it have been HBK :'(

[FourFifty]

Who died and threw Kennedy on a rocket to the top?
Vince has been high on Kennedy since before the limo blew up (but then lost some of it when Kennedy was busted and out for 30 days). He had a few bumps, but if ya like someone you're not going to give up on them that easily.

And he can go into TNA as Mr. Anderson no problem, so Vince might as well keep him around.

True. But when you're right there about to have that big moment, and right then and there you get x injury. Was kinda hoping that Kennedy would start in the mid to upper card.

Last thing we need again is to switch up the story because Ken Kennedy got hurt, again.

[FourFifty]

Totally looking forward to seeing SummerSlam.


Not looking forward to Santino.

[Hanso Amore]

How come Kennedy was out for almost a year with a dislocated shoulder?

[Hanso Amore]

I love the Santino rolls across the ring.

[Triple Naitch]

Any day now, WWE is going to write the script for a John Cena/Michael Clarke Duncan Buddy Movie.

[ClockShot]

Mickie/Santino tag team. I'm interested for some odd reason.

[FourFifty]

How come Kennedy was out for almost a year with a dislocated shoulder?

Some people just take a lot of time to heal. Just look at "Cowboy" Bob Orton and his broken arm.

[The Chris Rosa]

Either way, I'm thoroughly enjoying Kenny being back.

[Triple Naitch]

So are Santino and Beth officially broken up?

[Triple Naitch]

facebook has not confirmed it yet.

[ClockShot]

So when's Rosa gonna get in the ring?

[ClockShot]

Been a while since I've seen a crucifix pin.

[ClockShot]

*ahem*

EXCUSE ME!

[Corndad]

EXCUSE ME!!!

[FourFifty]

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! VICKIE!!!!!!!!!! I LOVES ME SOME HOT LATIN CANKLES!!!!!!

[The Chris Rosa]

This match will be the second coming of Joe vs Kobashi.

[Hanso Amore]

I hate Face Santino though. I loved the heel Santino.

[ClockShot]

YOU'RE KIDDING?!

[Triple Naitch]

Pasta primavera on a pole match, :lol:

I knew it was going to be a hog pen match.

[FourFifty]

There needs to be a segment with Santina training with Triple H for the hog pen match.

[ClockShot]

How long has it been? A good 10+ years?

[shadowfoxrz]

There needs to be a segment with Santina training with Triple H for the hog pen match.

It should be like the Royal Rumble 99 Vinny Mac promo with him and his son training. :lol:

[Triple Naitch]

Is Henry Godwinn still alive even?

[The Chris Rosa]

Allen Iverson (Nuggets #3) hasn't been on the team for over a year.




Good homework there, team.

[shadowfoxrz]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTitkrUugKg lol

[FourFifty]

Either way, I'm thoroughly enjoying Kenny being back.

The best part about that is in another 7 months (two months active) you get to enjoy his return all over again.

[FourFifty]

52-45, Denver in ahead at the half.

[FourFifty]

YES! YES! FUCK YEA! GOLDUST IN THE RING!!!!

[ClockShot]

So who did TBK find this week?

[shadowfoxrz]

Goldust and Horny need the titles.

[ClockShot]

Festus gets points for a Clippers jersey.

[Triple Naitch]

Teaming Festus and TBK is actually genius.

[Hanso Amore]

LOL...TBK using Festus could be cool.

[shadowfoxrz]

Cornfused?!?!? Good job J.R.

[The Chris Rosa]

Spanky is damn amazing on every level, and he's wrestling midgets and homosexuals. With a retard.

[Hanso Amore]

Is that the 5th different move to be called the final cut?

[ClockShot]

Is that the 5th different move to be called the final cut?

I think so. Big Show had a move named that too.

What happened to the Curtain Call?

[shadowfoxrz]

Spanky is damn amazing on every level, and he's wrestling midgets and homosexuals. With a retard.

That is the greatest sentence i have ever seen EVER

[Hanso Amore]

Colons = Los Guerreros 2009

[ClockShot]

I'm out for the night.

Have a good one, gents.

[shadowfoxrz]

I think so. Big Show had a move named that too.

What happened to the Curtain Call?

I think Micheal Cole just SUCKS. That was the Curtain Call

[The Chris Rosa]

"Sick Puppies" is a pretty stereotypical "Rock" band name.

[The Chris Rosa]

And Edge has won more ladder matches than Jeff Harvey. So I don't see the logic in this.





The announcing is a nice touch too.

[Triple Naitch]

I think Micheal Cole just SUCKS. That was the Curtain Call

We're just lucky he didn't call it a sidewalk slam.

[The Chris Rosa]

He usually says "hard shot."

[shadowfoxrz]

We're just lucky he didn't call it a sidewalk slam.

Were REAL lucky he didnt say "WOW, what a move there!" :nono:

[shadowfoxrz]

We are 10 min away from the next injury to Mr Kennedy Kennedy :shifty:

[Savio]

whats going on in the main event?

[Blakeamus]

Batista went all out

[Savio]

This should be magnificient lol Knowing Vince and all the press he got this week it may just be a show they put everything into tonight and could be a good one.
nope

[Blakeamus]

WoW! Sweet ass kick by Kennedy!

[The Chris Rosa]

Team Kennedy wins unscathed.

[CSL]

Pretty gay show

[RatedGSuperstar]

Too much wasted time on the Nuggets/Lakers garbage when they could've been building stuff for the PPV (and by the looks of it, more of it is expected tomorrow night at the SmackDown tapings). Didn't help that it was an extremely quiet crowd...probably because of horrible ticket sales, but everything just felt flat all night. They were lucky to get any reaction out of the crowd at all.

Seemed like tonight was a desperate attempt at getting on SportsCenter with antics rather than putting together a useful show. The sad part is that it'll probably work and it will only lead Vince to try for more free publicity in the future.

But maybe my bad feelings for the show lately are due to the fact that I'm getting terrified that Batista's actually going to win the damn title in two weeks.

[SammyG]

LAAKE SHOW!
