RAW Thread 5/31
 

Advantage Shelton.
May 31, 2004

Shelton Benjamin has had Randy Orton and Evolutions number. Tonight Shelton will look to continue his winning ways against members of Evolution when he faces Randy one-on-one. Will the streak continue? Tune in at 9pm!

Also, with the World Tag Team Championship on the line, Edge & Chris Benoit will face the team of La Resistance.



Now that a Hell in a Cell Match has been announced for Bad Blood, pitting Shawn Michaels up against Triple H, will these two bitter rivals be able to bottle their emotions until then? If their pasts are any indication, fans can expect to see one of these icons try to gain the upper hand prior to Bad Blood. But who will it be

Apparently, Lita lived up to her end of the bargain after giving Kane an answer of yes to his mysterious demand. As a result, Lita thought it was over, whatever "it" is. While RAW fans still don't know what "it" is, it appears to be far from over, despite Kane's claims that "it's all over." Will we ever find out what "it" is or was? Tune in to Monday Night RAW to find out.

All of this and more, as the road to Bad Blood continues on Monday Night RAW at 9/8 PM CT on Spike TV.

Looking forward to the Benjamin/ Orton match, should be really good.

For some reason, La Resistance hasn't really impressed me much since Dupree left them. Conway has that nice looking finisher off the ropes, but not much that keeps me interested besides that. Not liking Edge/Benoit much as tag champs either, unless it leads to a feud between both of them soon.

I just hope there isn't a 20 minute segment for the contract signing for the HHH/HBK Hell in the Cell match :nono:

Here's hoping that Tyson Tomko doesn't injure Chris Jericho tonight, as long as that doesn't happen I'll be happy with Raw tonight. I can't believe Jericho hasn't be the World Champion in 2 year 2 months and 15 days...

The Show Off, I heard that Tomko injured Jericho at a house show recently, but that it wasn't serious. Does anyone have more info on that?

I heard it was in a cage match or something. That's why I'm scared that Tomko will injure Jericho more. If you look at it Chris Jericho is just about the only guy in the WWE that has yet to miss more then 2 weeks of action in the past like 4 years, the guy is like an iron man, I just don't want to see some green jerk off screw up Jericho...

Now that's Christian is gone for about a month or so Jericho is the only person on Raw that is still quite fresh.

Good point. Tomko is definitely too green to be wrestling in the WWE right now. I watched the replay of last week's Raw when Tomko put Jericho through the announce table, it looked like Jericho's head was much too close to hitting a tv monitor that was still on the table.

Come on Vince, wait till they're ready to bring them up!

Why does Tomko still have a job?

I guess Hunter wanted some fresh meat in the locker room.

:naughty:

Well I'm also looking foward to see if Tyson Tomko can finally properly land a kick on someone without falling down....

...you know what they say the 15th times the charm.

I think Raw's been pretty hot as of late, and I'm looking forward to it.

I hope that the whole Lita/Kane thing isn't gonna be something dumb (like Kane asked to borrow Lita's car or something), because this is the first time in a while that I've had any real interest in either of the characters.

I don't like Benoit and Edge as tag champs either. Do you really see a team like La Resistance beating them without some sort of outside interference?

I can't believe Shelton Benjamin changed his music. Boo that. Orton/Benjamin should be good, though.

Not that I care, but where the hell is John Heidenreich?

Hopefully the hell in the cell match will be better than HHH/Nash HIAC.

I'm glad I went to see Shrek 2 last week and missed RAW.

Thou shalt not speak ill of the Stingers Splash.

So is Orton/Benjamin for the IC Title? If it's not, I'm guessing Shelton will win to make Orton give him a title shot at Bad Blood.

Still interested to see where this Kane/Lita thing is going. Maybe its for Kane to win the title because of Lita or something.

And last, since I see they are in Montreal, I am guarandamteeing at least one "You Screwed Bret" chant.

Who thinks the Hellin a Cell is used WAY too much

I do! Then again...I enjoy Hell in a Cell alot. I'm just brutal like that.

i just wish they would use the Elimination Chamber on Raw

I mentioned that in the TLC thread, like TLC, HIAC is used as a special attraction, but is now being used every year.

"Special Edition" of Raw? WTF does that mean?

Well, gotta go. TV is in another room, be back later.

Its memorial Day. That's why its Special because the wrestlers don't get off on holidays.

I bet 10 bucks Chris and edge lose.

At least Edge has the sunglasses and cool jacket on, I prefer him as the old style Edge.

oh geez.. please dont cheer these wimps!

BLAME CANADA!! i hate canada

They're not cheering the wimps. They're cheering the flags.

Paul Nemer sign in the first few rows, wasn't he a reporter on tpww at one time?

Think Kane will make an appearence during this match?

They're in Quebec for Memorial Day? I hope to God they didn't show that Americanized video paackage to the people of Quebec.

Why do you hate Canada?

LOL AT CHEERING LA RESISTANCE. I LOVE CANADIAN CROWDS

How many times can you recreate The Quebecers?

Talk about a really crap ass travel schedual.

Are they cheering...oh. I thought it was "Lets go Screwjob!"

Let's go Sylvian. YESSSSSSSSS.

Is it just me, or do they even cheer with an accent?

who here actually wants benoit and edge to win?

Resistance are definatelly taking the straps

I've been thinking....after Hell in a Cell, shouldnt HBK and HHH be off RAW for a little bit? Isn't that alone worth watching them for a couple more weeks?

#1 The WWE needs to find a way to get the good matches like this towards the end of the show.
#2 They need to find a way to quit playing these fucking commercial breaks during matches!

I couldn't care for Edge at the moment so in this case,I'm goin for the Quebecers.

I miss Rene Dupree. I know he's on Smackdown and all, but every time I watch that show, my eyes start to bleed. Grenier and Conway aren't bad, though. Viva La Resistance!

...Flair-esk fall down. Coolies!

LOL at Jr trying to explain that terrible ensuguri

Yes, Edge/Benoit breaking up

VIVE LA RESISTANCE!!!!

So are they gonna push La Resistance AGAIN now, or what?

Yep....another La Resistance title reign. But who could they fued with?

YESSS!!! now Benoit can actually go back to main eventing

They could feud with.....uhhh....Hurricane and Rosey? Are there tag teams on Raw anymore?

Wow, I'm surprised at this win (sarcasm..) but hey, I can't stand Edge so it's alright. I hope he's barely there at the Raw that's coming to my area in a month.

Where's my money?

Hmm... lets see... the Raw Tag Team Division sucks right now compared to Smackdown. The problem is they dont know how to ultilze the tag team divison on Smackdown

Anyone else thinking that it's absolutely retarded that the World Heavyweight Champion was getting punked out by two guys who've been one step above total jobbers for the past year? I mean, yeah, Edge was the one that got pinned, but Benoit was the "face in peril" for about half of the match.

That is very, very bad for business. Who the hell is gonne care about the World Title match for Summerslam now; if Benoit's jobbing to freaking La Resistance, then why would anyone think he stands a chance against Triple H?

Bah. Well, at least now he can go back to being a single wrestler, although I doubt that'll help, considering that Benoit/Kane has had absolutely no buildup.

RANDY ORTON!!!!! *bows down kisses his feet, and watches that sick video the one guy made!(sorry i forgot your name)

It's called playing to the crowd, Nowhere Man. They're in freakin' Quebec. That would've never happened anywhere else.

Lets see LC's sperm count go even more down.

Wow. That had to be the single most generic heel promo ever.

Haha, and who said Eugene wouldn't work?

Lotta Bret Hart signs

*raises hand* I did. Hey...we gonna see Eugene vs. the Rock?

There's only a few thousand people in the arena, and when compared to the millions of people watching on TV, that's a pretty small number. Hometown or not, having the World Champion job to two lower-card workers makes him look incredibly bad.

On the bright side, this could lead to a possible Benoit/Edge feud.

Bischoff turning a new leaf???

I wanna see Eugene as a heel

To hell with that. I want to see Coach get his ass kicked

No, Bischoff will make Regal face Eugene, since he said that Eugene would be facing a friend.

I'll agree to an extent. I think basically what they did was back themselves into a corner when they gave Benoit and Edge the straps in the first place. There weren't many other ways to handle the situation, I wouldn't imagine, so may as well give a nod to Quebec and get the straps off of Benoit and Edge at the same time.

Hey Loose Cannon....see my Randy Orton Video yet?

I can't keep going back and forth to the TV/PC I'll see you all later.

I don't know why, but the thought of Eugene as a heel makes me laugh.

BTW, did they have to make his music retarded too? I mean, it's better than the music he used the first time he wrestled, but Jeebus Cripes.

Time to squash that push.

Oh no.. anyone but Kane!

Uh=oh! Hell fire and brimstones! Its KANNNNEE!

How many angles are they going to get Kane involved in at once???

:?:

Is it just me, or does anybody else think that Kane's theme music would be better without lyrics?

As many as they can. Hey! Lets put him in an angle with Mordici! That'll be what's ne.....oh my god. Doesn't Kane have the same IQ as Eugene?

Me!

LOL that was great

someone kick the crap out of coachman

Finger Eleven sings Kane's theme, and they're awesome.

I dunno if I would prefer no lyrics though

kane with hair

Man if i ever doubted Kanes awesome before, i take it all back. He seduces women, he beats up the handicapped......definitly World Title Contender material.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I have no problem with the song. I just think something about lyrics in his song makes the character seem too...human, I guess. I dunno if that makes any sense, it's hard to explain.

Regal turns face... please!

Worst. Entrance. Ever.

oh no.. that God awful music! Victoria's music

http://raw.wwe.com/superstars/dinsmo.../neweugene.jpg vs. http://raw.wwe.com/superstars/kane/images/kane.jpg

I'd still love for her to bear my children, though.

Where's her new partner Static Shock? He'll put a shock to Gail Kim's system.

I agree with you, Anybody Thrilla.

Now that I think about it, most wrestlers should be without lyrics in their theme songs.

Especially Victoria
:shifty:

OK Vic is still dancing to that stopid music but.. i cant help but look...

OMG

Victoria is going to make me orgasm. :drool:

MARK THE F**K OUT for the lesbo dance!!!!!!

Oh my god...its Mordici!

They have made me HATE Victoria with passion in the past two weeks after loving her for the past year.

:drool:

^^What Happened to that?
