WWE RAW Thread for 06/15/09: Three hours? You bet!

Hey...

[RatedGSuperstar]

Considering reports were saying they were scrambling to figure out who would even be working this show and how this would lead into The Bash as late as yesterday, I don't have high hopes for this show. ECW title match at the end of the first hour, Punk/Hardy/Edge to close the second hour, and the fourway to end the show with lots of crap in between seems pretty logical.

I still don't know why this show needs to be 3 hours, but whatever...at least matches won't be going into commercial break 2 minutes in. Hopefully instead of cramming as many matches into a 3 hour show as they can, they let the matches they do have breathe a little bit. Let Christian work for more than 5 minutes in his first Raw appearance in years. Maybe let Kofi work a longer match for once to see he does. Hell, as long as I'm fantasy booking here, let the Hart Dynasty on the show. They've got a chance to let people know what's going on with ECW, but I'm sure the title match is the only thing that show will get.

Drugs are bad M'Kay.

[Team Sheep]

I wish there were no commercials this week.

[ClockShot]

So are we gonna play "Who got popped for Wellness" tonight?

[RatedGSuperstar]

It's like the WWE is trying to make the writers' lives hell.

"Hey, we want you guys to write a show with no commercial breaks. By the way, it's a three hour show. Oh, and after wellness violations, you only have Hornswaggle and Jimmy Wang Yang to fill the first hour. Have fun!"

[Londoner]

It's like the WWE is trying to make the writers' lives hell.

"Hey, we want you guys to write a show with no commercial breaks. By the way, it's a three hour show. Oh, and after wellness violations, you only have Hornswaggle and Jimmy Wang Yang to fill the first hour. Have fun!"

don't forget goldust....

[Xero]

This isn't the commercial free RAW, next week is.

[Londoner]

Yeah, wondered what RatedGSuperstar was on about for a sec.

[KIRA]

Yea their writers must be making serious bank to put up with vinces inane crap.

[Droford]

Maybe next weeks commercial free show could also be the first ever RAW without any wrestling matches.

"we got no one to work matches tonight, so instead here's the premiere of WWE: The Soap Opera, enjoy!"

[The Gold Standard]

Great kicking it off with Cole

[Londoner]

no pyro WTF?

[The Gold Standard]

Maybe Cole is the new GM

[ClockShot]

Yikes. And I thought something major just happened.

[mike adamle]

"A VENIMOUS ATTACK!!!"

[Londoner]

OH goody goody, recaps

[The Gold Standard]

Yikes. And I thought something major just happened.

That was my first thought

[Londoner]

mine to.

[The Gold Standard]

I always like how a sledge hammer can take out everyone in its path

[Londoner]

oh this is better now.

[The Gold Standard]

Cole couldn't make that announcement after the recap, theme and pyro?

[ClockShot]

Orton or Big Show for champ.

[The Gold Standard]

If you weren't looking at the tv you would not know what the ECW title match is

[Londoner]

has Y2J got the title on him?oh he has,phew

[The Gold Standard]

Orton or Big Show for champ.

I am rooting for Show

[ClockShot]

The savior speaks the truth.

[Jannettyzilla]

WELCOME TO. RAW. IS. JERICHO!

[Londoner]

well said jericho

[The Gold Standard]

I don't think most people know what he is saying, and just boo just to boo

[The Chris Rosa]

Jericho is....MONEY

[Testicle]

That new rey shirt sucks.

[ClockShot]

Oh, he got his mask back.

[The Gold Standard]

Oh, he got his mask back.

I hope he doesn't lose it

[Testicle]

WTF is with the countdown?

[The Gold Standard]

A countdown?

[The Chris Rosa]

Wow, WWE Title isn't the ME.

[Londoner]

10mins in=ADVERTS YAY

[RawRocks]

Countdown to the WWE Championshoip match .. hmmm!

[Londoner]

odd countdown

[Testicle]

After all the build up from last week, to have the WWE title match at the end of the first hour makes no fucking sense.

[Jannettyzilla]

That gives them time to have a no decision, make a "major announcement", and have another no decision in the main event.

Genius.

[Fig Newton]

maybe wwe has a plan and a reason for having it early

[Londoner]

After all the build up from last week, to have the WWE title match at the end of the first hour makes no fucking sense.

thats raw for you.

[The Gold Standard]

You know why this is a good match? Not raw guys

[Londoner]

what if this match lasts 40mins or so? what will happen to that countdown?:shifty:


oh yeah, wrestlings fake....

[ClockShot]

Jericho should have just did it.

[Londoner]

brilliant finish!

[Testicle]

Sick codebreaker.

[The Chris Rosa]

Codebreaker.



Death.

[The Gold Standard]

Thats was a very good ending.

[RawRocks]

Announcement next!

[The Gold Standard]

I have a feeling it will be Cole.

[Testicle]

You know why this is a good match? Not raw guys


:y:

[Londoner]

I bet the smackdown matches are far better than raws tonight,

[The Gold Standard]

Most likely

[The Gold Standard]

I HATE THE DID YOU KNOWS

[Testicle]

Yay! We get to listen to Randy! :n:

[ClockShot]

ORTON!

[Londoner]

I HATE THE DID YOU KNOWS

i just ignore them

DID YOU KNOW I JUST IGNORE THEM

[ClockShot]

DON'T JUST STAND THERE! KICK HIS ASS!

[Testicle]

Wow, that made Orton look good.

[Londoner]

EXCUUUUUUUSSSSSEEEE ME I RESIGN

[RawRocks]

EXCUSE ME!

EXCUSE ME!

[The Gold Standard]

I really hope Show wins, because if HHH wins it will be the HHH show again, same with Cena. It would be useless for Orton to win it because he just lost it and why would he lose it if he is going to win it back in 2 weeks. Therefore Show should win it.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Flair 4 GM.

[Londoner]

WTF

[Jannettyzilla]

MVP = New owner

[The Chris Rosa]

Who the hell would buy this show?

[ClockShot]

RAW got sold?

Holy swerveball, Batman.

[Testicle]

No chance in hell....hmm?

[The Gold Standard]

Who do you think it is?

[Londoner]

Flairs gonna be the 'owner'.

[shawnrhodeisland]

Eric Bischoff :shifty:

[The Gold Standard]

Austin?

[Jannettyzilla]

Didn't they do that angle before?

Because that would make it likely now. :lol:

[RawRocks]

Ted DiBiase The Million Dollar Man
JBL

Those are the only two I can think of.

[ClockShot]

Anywho. The RAW GM spot has been a revolving door. Mike Adamle, Vicki Gurrerro, and now (if possible) Ric Flair. How long do you think he's gonna last before he retires again?

[NeanderCarl]

Yeah Vince, nevermind an explanation as to why you're SELLING the "flagship" WWE show...

[Testicle]

Million Dollar Man?

[shawnrhodeisland]

Eric Bischoff :shifty:

[Testicle]

Ted DiBiase The Million Dollar Man
JBL

Those are the only two I can think of.

Crap you beat me to it.

[RawRocks]

Million Dollar Man?

It only seems logical assuming Randy Orton wins.

[DarKCentaur]

Beer Money Inc.

[shawnrhodeisland]

Ted Turner :-\

[Legend Killer]

Who is the one man that would buy RAW?

People are expecting Flair, but I now see Eric Bischoff.

[ClockShot]

Flairs gonna be the 'owner'.

Flair's fucking strapped and we all know it. Unless he hit powerball, that's a stupid idea.

[PullMyFinger]

If he sold it to Ric Flair, boy Raw has indeed gone full circle since 2002.

[Legend Killer]

Ted Turner :-\


Nah how bout Jack Tunney?!?

[mike adamle]

MIKE ADAMLE

[Londoner]

CHRISTIIAAANN

[Testicle]

According to the countdown, this match will last about 8 minutes.

[ClockShot]

ECW title match on early. Gonna be a long night.

[shawnrhodeisland]

If Flair weren't involved in this angle somehow, they would've edited out the Flair chants when they re-played the clip.

In any case, as someone else already said, WHY is he selling RAW?

[PullMyFinger]

Christian back on Raw. Nice. Remember when Christian was on Raw, and he'd cut crazy promos against that Marky Mark wannabe Cena? lol Yeah those were the good days, he used to get the craziest monster reactions in 2005.

[Legend Killer]

Why did Christian bleach his hair blonder??

Also the GM could be Heyman...

[Testicle]

Lol, everyone in the WWE hates Obama.

[DarKCentaur]

Maybe he sold it to TNA, as an act of sabotage.

[NeanderCarl]

Of course, everyone knows that in business when times are hard the best way to survive is to sell off your highest earning and self-admitted flagship asset and then try to survive from your least popular assets.

It would be like Coca Cola selling off the Coke brand, and relying on Dasani to survive.

[Legend Killer]

Wait no, what about HBM Michaels????

[shawnrhodeisland]

So who's better? Dreamer or Christian?

[UmbrellaCorporation]

God, if Raw was sold to JBL....:love:

[ClockShot]

But didn't JBL sorta leave on bad terms?

[shawnrhodeisland]

that countdown clock is stupid

[RawRocks]

wait a second .. Raw is in Charlotte .. hometown of one Ric Flair. this makes too much fucking sense.

[shawnrhodeisland]

But didn't JBL sorta leave on bad terms?

yes

[shawnrhodeisland]

New Owner: Hulk Hogan :shifty:

[Testicle]

This crowd sucks.

[The Gold Standard]

Cary Silkin

[DarKCentaur]

KENNEDY!!!!!







No? :(

[ClockShot]

But the question is How much IS WWE Monday Night Raw?

Where do you go to find a price on that and who could pony up that cash?

I know this is all storyline bullshit, but Vince now has my brain working.

[The Gold Standard]

TOMMY

[Londoner]

That was over quickly, how shocking. Should've had a swagger interference instead and ended in DQ. But then, that require some thought put into it,my bad.

[shawnrhodeisland]

In a way, I hope it's not Flair. That'd be very anti-climactic.

[The Gold Standard]

In a way, I hope it's not Flair. That'd be very anti-climactic.

[NeanderCarl]

As much as it doesn't make ANY sense that Vince McMahon would sell Raw, it makes just as little sense that he would insist upon "clearing up the title picture" before making the announcement.

Maybe Orton as the new owner of Raw?

[shawnrhodeisland]

NEW RAW OWNER: "IRON" MIKE SHARPE

[Legend Killer]

This is where Eddie Guerrero comes back from the dead and says I LIED HOMES, man that would piss Vickie Off!!!!!

[Krimzon7]

Beer Money Inc.


I just love their finisher's name the DWI.

[The Chris Rosa]

Rob Fierstein?

[Legend Killer]

This is where Eddie Guerrero comes back from the dead and says I LIED HOMES, man that would piss Vickie Off!!!!!

[ClockShot]

Don't try this at home.

[Krimzon7]

Oh,HEY MOTHERFUCKERS!!! It's been a good ong whie since I've been here for a show. Sorry for slacking. I predict that he has sold it to THE ROCK, or Chris Masters.

[Londoner]

lol crap women segment

[Londoner]

lmao tbh

[DarKCentaur]

Bella #1: OMG, I heard Raw cost millions!

Might be a bit more than that Jim

[Krimzon7]

Oprah Bought RAW!

[shawnrhodeisland]

NEW RAW OWNER: KING KONG BUNDY

[Legend Killer]

Oh,HEY MOTHERFUCKERS!!! It's been a good ong whie since I've been here for a show. Sorry for slacking. I predict that he has sold it to THE ROCK, or Chris Masters.


I still say Eddie Guerrero.

[Londoner]

THEYRE RECAPPING THIS AGAIN OMFG JESUS BLOODY CHRIST

[Jannettyzilla]

I think tonight is when The Brooklyn Brawler finally cashes in his collection of cans and bottles and takes over.

[The Gold Standard]

I don't like the Bellas

[shawnrhodeisland]

I think tonight is when The Brooklyn Brawler finally cashes in his collection of cans and bottles and takes over.

:rofl:

[DarKCentaur]

I think we're missing the obvious.... Sid.

Monday Night Raw: So good, you'll shit your pants

[mike adamle]

Another package of that "VENIMOUS ATTACK"

[Legend Killer]

I think they used these pics beforew haven't they???

[RawRocks]

So possibles are:
Ted DiBiase
JBL
Jeff Jarrett
Hulk Hogan
Ric Flair
The Rock
Eric Bischoff

[The Gold Standard]

I think we're missing the obvious.... Sid.

Monday Night Raw: So good, you'll shit your pants

[Testicle]

I think we're missing the obvious.... Sid.

Monday Night Raw: So good, you'll put squirrels down your pants.

[shawnrhodeisland]

I wonder if Orton really hears voices in his head.

And if he does, what do they say to him?

[Krimzon7]

I still say Eddie Guerrero.

I still say I love ya brother!

[KIRA]

Even better new manger mike sanders

[Krimzon7]

Drink in the future. Orton is the shit!

[RP]

If i havent watched this in 2 years, should i watch tonight?

[The Gold Standard]

LETS GO SHOW!!

[Jannettyzilla]

I wonder if Orton really hears voices in his head.

And if he does, what do they say to him?"WALK SLOWER"

[ClockShot]

RAW title match NOW?!

What's gonna fill the other 2 hours besides crap and the Smackdown title match?

[shawnrhodeisland]

If i havent watched this in 2 years, should i watch tonight?

YES! DANNY DEVITO BOUGHT RAW!

[shawnrhodeisland]

RAW title match NOW?!

What's gonna fill the other 2 hours besides crap and the Smackdown title match?

A Triple H promo!

[Krimzon7]

I think they used these pics beforew haven't they???


They are from the WWE's Batista: The injured years photo bank.

[RawRocks]

Go away HHH

[The Chris Rosa]

As long as it's not Helmsley, I don't care who wins.

[DarKCentaur]

Maybe Priceless vs Colons?

[Krimzon7]

RAW title match NOW?!

What's gonna fill the other 2 hours besides crap and the Smackdown title match?


This entrance! and the pyro after he wins.

[ClockShot]

As long as it's not Helmsley, I don't care who wins.

Cena can't win, either.

[shawnrhodeisland]

CHIODA WINS! CHIODA WINS! CHIODA WINS!

[mike adamle]

Carlos Colon bought it.

[Krimzon7]

I love Lillian, from the waist down.

[mike adamle]

Well either Carlos or me, the man, the myth, the legend, Mike Adamle. Heh wow.

[The Chris Rosa]

Cena can't win, either.





For once, I wouldn't care if Cena won.

[NeanderCarl]

New owner of RAW. The possibilities:

Shawn Michaels. Purchased through church donations.

Ted DiBiase Sr. Purchased with his millions of dollars.

Paul Bearer. He urned it.

Donald Trump. Needs to offset the recession.

Jerry Seinfeld. Have you ever noticed how rich he is? Good cross promotion for his upcoming appearance on HBO. Larry David's show + the audience during a Randy Orton resthold = WWE Curb Your Enthusiasm, the PPV.

One of the McMahon kids. Maybe a bit too obvious and an anti-climax.

Michael Cole. Sold off his massive collection of vintage cars to fund the purchase.

Gonna keep the suggestions coming...

[shawnrhodeisland]

Lillian needs to go! Back to the street corner, honey! Bring Back Fink!

[gatoconbotas]

LOL the entrances took so long they have to cut to commercial...

[RawRocks]

Ah FUCK YOU WWE! YOU AND YOUR FUCKING COMMERCIALS!

[Londoner]

this is one time where adverts may be more entertaining than the match.

[shawnrhodeisland]

NEW RAW OWNER: THE RED ROOSTER!

Cuz McMahon likes cock.

[Jannettyzilla]

If they don't want her, I'll take Lillian off their hands, and pay them in ideas about how to bring back Bad News Brown.

[NeanderCarl]

New owner of Raw.

Eddie Murphy. Settlement for a 20 year copyright infringement case nobody knew about.

[Mystic.Tenshi]

Okay so I haven't watched raw in like a month and a half and I come back to this shit?

[Legend Killer]

They are from the WWE's Batista: The injured years photo bank.

Legacy Rep. :)

[RawRocks]

Okay I cannot stand Jack Black .. he isnt even fuuny

[Testicle]

Okay I cannot stand Jack Black .. he isnt even fuuny

Thank you!

[NeanderCarl]

New owner of Raw.

Henry Godwinn. Bought with the massive payoff he received from the Mexican government for the antidote to the swine flu he created.

[Legend Killer]

Wait, Jay Leno just gave up The tonight show, I NOW SAY JAY LENO!!!!!!!!!!

[Jannettyzilla]

Maybe Show and Orton will both win at the same time and become co-champions.

[Legend Killer]

Wait, Jay Leno just gave up The tonight show, I NOW SAY JAY LENO!!!!!!!!!!


This could be the man!!!

He sold his cars and sold his chin.

[KIRA]

actually the only one who I'm remotly intrested in winning is Orton itll give him great bragging rights

[gatoconbotas]

I love how it's been an hour already and nothing has really happened.

[Londoner]

spoiler: Cena wins..err no..HHH wins...err Cena wins..errrr wait a min

[Jannettyzilla]

I maintain MVP as owner. Highest paid superstar ever, wanted in the title match last week, they keep using sports terms.....

[shawnrhodeisland]

Wait, Jay Leno just gave up The tonight show, I NOW SAY JAY LENO!!!!!!!!!!

And David Arquette as GM?

[Hanso Amore]

Its going to be someone who you would never think could afford it.

Flair

Austin

Hogan

[NeanderCarl]

New owner of Raw.

Big Show. To make up for being single handedly knocked out of the ring by John Cena alone just seconds ago.

[shawnrhodeisland]

NEW OWNER: OUTBACK JACK.

Are any of you even old enough to REMEMBER him?

[NeanderCarl]

New owner of Raw.

Pfizer. In return for a lifetime's supply of Viagra. Little do they know that Vince McMahon plans on living FOREVER.

Suckers!

[Jannettyzilla]

NEW OWNER: OUTBACK JACK.

Are any of you even old enough to REMEMBER him?

Had his action figure!

[NeanderCarl]

New owner of Raw.

Doc Emmet Brown. Gonna take the show back in time. When this baby hits 1998, you're gonna see some serious shit!

Next WWE champ.... "Great Scott" Hall.

[RawRocks]

Ya know,, didnt Shawn Michaels get a huge amount of money for being JBL's slave?

[Londoner]

botched lolz

[The Gold Standard]

I really hope it is not someone we expect. I want a surprise, but a good surprise.

[Pardeep 619]

Flair will probably be the new owner (with the show being in Charlotte, NC) and Orton to win the title.

[Krimzon7]

WE KNOW IT'S RAW GODDAMIT


WE SEE THE RING APRONS.


Vader Bomb

[ClockShot]

Come on, Orton.

[NeanderCarl]

New owner of Raw.

C. Montgomery Burns. Just to see how that could possibly work. WWE as a live action/cartoon cross over? Well it is a PG kids show nowadays!

[Hanso Amore]

Show is bringing out the new moves tonight

[Jannettyzilla]

Big Show's spending way too much time in control of this match to win.

[NeanderCarl]

So should we be expecting a new owner AND a new GM tonight? Vince did say that the next GM would be somebody else's decision....

[Londoner]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAA

[ClockShot]

YES!

[The Chris Rosa]

ORTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jannettyzilla]

I'm OK with that.

[Testicle]

WHY TAKE THE FUCKING BELT OFF OF HIM!!! WTF!

[Krimzon7]

I just climaxed.

[ClockShot]

AS IT SHOULD BE!

[Hanso Amore]

Why did t hey ever have him even drop the strap to Bats

[The Gold Standard]

I am happy, but what was the point of making him lose the belt. They knew about Batista's injury.

[The Chris Rosa]

Clean too.




Fuck marks.

[shawnrhodeisland]

Cue the Whoooo!

[Londoner]

The point was to make this 3 hours special have a 'title change'.

[Pardeep 619]

Knew Orton would win it

[Blakeamus]

Now did that make any sense for him to lose the belt @ Extreme Rules against an injured Batista then win it two weeks later? Come on WWE!

[ClockShot]

Beat feet while you still can, Randy.

[Testicle]

Probably just so he can drop it to trips at summerslam.

[Krimzon7]

and a clean victory at that! Bow down bitches. Voices reigns supreme. WTF is that face?!?!!???

[gatoconbotas]

LOL Big Show is stunned as well....

No he's not. He's fat and trying to catch his breath, Michael Cole.

[Testicle]

If the WWE can wait till summer slam to have him drop it.

[shawnrhodeisland]

NEW RAW OWNER: RUSTY BROOKS!

[The Gold Standard]

I hope this is good.

[Krimzon7]

Now did that make any sense for him to lose the belt @ Extreme Rules against an injured Batista then win it two weeks later? Come on WWE!

Bats is sitting out with the roids suspension man. The pics they showed were so old.

[RawRocks]

Okay who is the owner?

[shawnrhodeisland]

why does Big Show have to always be made to look like shit?!

[Jannettyzilla]

Him dropping the belt to Bats isn't the dumbest thing. Gave Batista the edge in the feud, then gave Orton the chance to get further over by putting him out AND winning the title from the two top faces and the "unstoppable" giant.

Him retaining and then starting another HHH feud wouldn't have this awesome.

[gatoconbotas]

why does Big Show have to always be made to look like shit?!

Because he is.

[Pardeep 619]

Flair to be the new Raw Owner... it's gonna happen

[shawnrhodeisland]

NEW RAW OWNER: EVAN BOURNE

[shawnrhodeisland]

Flair to be the new Raw Owner... it's gonna happen

no shit

[Londoner]

Flair to be the new Raw Owner... it's gonna happen

already said it.

[shawnrhodeisland]

Cue the whoooo

[NeanderCarl]

why does Big Show have to always be made to look like shit?!

Because he shows up to work looking like shit?

Seriously, even when he came back and everyone was complimenting him for how much weight he'd lost, he was still 150lbs heavier than during his physical prime in 1995... in the 15 months since he returned, he has slipped back to nearly the same condition he was in when he left.

The Big Show is once again turning into The Pig Show. Or The Big Slow.

You choose.

[DarKCentaur]

Earl Hebner new owner! He saved up all the money from his bootleg merch

[Legend Killer]

Thats what has been said for the past week, duh...

[RawRocks]

Here we go... finally

[ClockShot]

Break out the boots.

[mike adamle]

I've come up with a few reasonable conclusions: Mike Adamle, Randy Orton, Ric Flair, One of the McMahons/HHH, Ted DiBiase, Dusty Rhodes, Carlos Colon, & Jim Ross.

[Krimzon7]

This guy is worth 500 million annually. WHy can't he get a good goddamn suit?

[shawnrhodeisland]

Wait, he's smiling. It's a heel.

[Krimzon7]

450 is buying it with the rest of his winnings!

[DarKCentaur]

OOH OOH OOH E. STAN KROENKE

[LoDownM]

WCW reboot inc.

[Testicle]

This guy is worth 500 million annually. WHy can't he get a good goddamn suit?

He's old, old people wear crappy suits.

[NeanderCarl]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say... Michaels. But common sense says Flair.

[Krimzon7]

He's having fond memories of running people out of business.

[Londoner]

This guy is worth 500 million annually. WHy can't he get a good goddamn suit?

:D

[mike adamle]

Bischoff and Heyman as well

[Jannettyzilla]

It's Austin.

[Londoner]

WHAT THE FUCK

[Testicle]

oh fuck
