Official monday night RAW dec,29 2003 Forum
 

Dec. 29, 2003
Two weeks to the day after one of the most shocking episodes of 2003, RAW returns live from San Antonio for what could be one of the most memorable nights in the storied career of Shawn Michaels. In front of his hometown crowd, HBK will challenge Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship -- a match that was created as the final act for Mick Foley as Co-General Manager of RAW before he walked out two weeks ago.

Also on RAW, the buzz from the events of Dec. 15 has not died down as Foley's actions are still being spoken about by everybody on RAW! During his last night as RAW Co-GM, Foley promised a meeting with the WWE Board of Directors, a meeting where he was to present more than one million signatures on the petition to bring back Stone Cold Steve Austin to RAW. Foley also invited Austin himself to return!

In-ring action tonight will include a six-woman "Happy Holidays Match" featuring Trish Stratus, Lita & Stacy Keibler taking on the team of Miss Jackie, Victoria and Women's Champion Molly Holly.

How will Eric Bischoff react to Foley's departure from two weeks ago? Will HBK make this a homecoming to remember? Only one way to find out ... join WWE for the final RAW of 2003, live from San Antonio at 9/8 CT on Spike TV!

Bit early, aren't you? :lol:

just counting down ...another classic HHH and HBK match as long as its clean and at least 20 minutes.....wishful thinking

I'm lookin forward to another good nap

Here we go!

I'm not expecting HHH to lose the title either. Should be a good match though

I'm suprised JR and the King haven't gone deaf yet from those pyros :lol:

HHH's new video thing for the versus screen is funny.

Here's Randy. Wonder what this is going to be? Gloat time as usual? For a match that never happened?

smart coward? isn't that a kind of oxymoron?

did the bell even ring for that match?

Booker T nice

OOOh Orton and Booker T, this has my attention now!

/edit
ugh i thought the henry/booker feud was over :(

Booker vs. Orton? I can see that.

The feud that won't end... Part 2

Mark Henry & Booker T... why? Hasn't Booker suffered enough?

Scott Stiener.... havent we sufferd enough?

What be happening? Cableless here.

At least we got RVD, so hopefully, he'll make the match watchable

so what has happened so far. I'm not watchin it right now?

Opening segment was Orton gloating and having Lilian call him the new hardcore legend. Booker T comes out to challenge him to a match tonight for the IC Title. Mark Henry attacks Booker T from behind on the ramp way, Orton accepts the challenge.

First match is RVD vs Scott Steiner.

where's M-A-G anyway?

RVD beats Steiner

Next we have a "Heart Break Klassic" that shows clips from Royal Rumble 97, the last time HBK wrestled in San Antonio. They showed him beating Sid.

gee, Coach healed fast :lol:

gee, I wonder who?

RVD-Steiner was actually pretty good. I just wish they'd give RVD something other than just an opening match with no real storyline behind it. Steiner has improved since he debuted in the WWE, but RVD still carried Steiner on his back.

no suprise there

Clips are shown of the Jericho/Christian attacks last week. Then we cut to backstage to see Christian shouting at Jericho about how Jericho ditched him for a girl. Christian walks off angry and Jericho looks hurt.

Now we cut to Coach at the board of directors meeting. He says Linda McMahon is going to argue for Stone Cold to return to Raw and then Vince walks by. Vince says that he will be on the side against Stone Cold's return. It sounds like its going to be some kind of one on one debate with a vote following or something.

I'm suprised Eric is allowing RAW to show Smackdown footage :lol:

Well, they're going to vote for Austin to come back, because remember, Mick said Vince wasn't in a right frame of mind, so I'm sure they're going to use that.

AARGHH!! I'm so sick of seeing/hearing that stupid Final Fantasy X-2 commercial.

As am I

if you wear khaki pants you cant be aref...ask JR

:lol: I know, I was like, what do khaki pants have anything to do with refing?

Dudley Boyz vs Russell Simpson and Eddie something
Special Ref: Ric Flair

Are these guys from RoH or something? I heard there were going to be a lot of them backstage tonight and possible getting some dark matches. If so, I really didn't expect to see any on the show.

Gee, I smell Dudleyz vs. Flair/Batista at RR.

Russell and Eddie win as Flair dq's the Dudleyz for using a closed fist punch. The Dudleyz attack flair, but are stopped by Batista running to the ring.

Another Heart Break Klassic shows HBK beating HHH at Summerslam 2002

HHH sure bladed in that match.

What was that Eddie guy's last name?

I guess this is the beginning of their new campaign

Gonna eat. Somebody else can take over play by play if people are still reading it. Mine isn't really all that good anyway lol.

They never printed it on screen but it sounded like Grable.

so this is like judge judy?

Wow. Vince actually being rational. Even I was slightly convinced

Holy crap! It's Austin

austin almost killed the only good girls in wrestling

vince made a great point kids would want candy all day long



Boy that stone cold what will he think of next

This match should be good

HBK Vs. Triple H tonight for the World Heavyweight title of the world... - J.R. ( dumb redneck... )

Hardcore legend?! Has he even BEEN in a hardcore match?

Nah, Victoria was safe :p

yes and jackies sexy body as well

I wish title matches were like HCTP, being no DQ.

molly???? ill let victoria slide even gail kim but molly?

Speaking of Gail Kim, anybody know when she's due to return? :drool:

i was going strictly on looks

Kane?

What's Kane doing there?

Damm Bookers getting the all around shaft

Hopefully, it'll lead to bigger things for the Book.

Damnit. Are they like required to show a Final Fantasy commercial at every break? Enough already.

Did Kane just drop down into the IC Title picture? I came back from the Kitchen and all I saw was Kane standing over Booker T. I guess that means no more World Title (or whatever it's called) push for him?

JR: All the fans will get behind boker T!!!

what if they liked randy orton
------------------------------------------------
Stone cold should come as an annoucer along with Chris Jericho and Mick Foley should interview with coach.

Unless he's just attacking everyone in sight.

Bookers been shafted from day one since he came to the WWE. His first match is against Buff Bagwell. The no good, try to do as little as possible and get paid, all I can do is pose Buff Bagwell. Then Hunter waits for 30 seconds after the Pdigree to pin Booker at Wrestle Mania.

Tonite... Mark Henry punks him out, then he jobs to Randy Orton. Then Kane kicks his ass. This Kane-Booker feud could be pretty good though, if it happens.

Yea, that might be it. I'm sure they had plans for the title match already so they just needed him to attack one of the big faces from Raw.

Now there was a nice view :drool:

:rofl: stacys got balls hanging between her legs

King is having a freakin orgasm here

hahaha king

i can read women like a book
jr: can ya
king: i like to read in bed

uhhh...okay

lol

I mean, hey, if I had the choice of rather being a wrestler as opposed to the co-GM, I'd take the GM role in a heartbeat

Im glad he's not GM again

here we go hbk match

Wow, there's a good 40 mins left in the show and the main event is starting. Too bad I get the feeling they aren't going to let this match take the whole time.

*checks clock*

bit early aren't they?

the world title match at 10:30... is there a match after it?

Hey, he's not wearing the shorts anymore. I guess he got his upper leg muscles back.

wow! HHH is an 8-time champion? How long did it take Flair to be an 8-time champ?

Man, I've never been more excited for a match in a long time. Should be good!

His 1st was on 9/17/81

his 8th was on 1/19/92

Probably won't be match of the year quality, but hopefully it'll come close.

It won't even be near match of the year quality..

I'm looking forward to seeing how this Stone Cold thing plays out.

I'm liking this so far.

Nice...commercial break right in the middle of the match. So far its a pretty good match for having HHH in it.

Sorry, we have to interrupt this entertaining match to bring you this special announcement from Final Fantasy X-2.

I'm sure its a good game and all, but do thety really need to shove it down our throats?

Not only that, a Smackdown: HCTP commerical. Goodness, these are getting really, really annoying.

Yes. It isn't true WWE style if it isn't shoved down our throats.

Well, that I understand since its a WWE product.

Final commercial break. Until the next one, of course.

Yeah, I do believe they have one more

The way I see it, anybody who cares about the game already knows it's out. Anybody who would've given it a shot based on the commercials must have gotten the point after the first two or three times. There's no need for one during every single commercial break. Is that game the sponsor for Royal Rumble or something? Hmm I better stop talking, the match is back on :)

So, how long before Hebner gets knocked out? :lol:

Wait...if the title match is going to be over soon-ish...are they going to leave the 11:00-11:15 or whatever it is now slot for the Stone Cold thing? God I hope not. Also, if I hear Cerebrial Assasin again, i'm going to puke. Didn't he leave that gimmick the last time he got injured.

LOL. Hebner gets nocked out, Flair interferes, HBK makes a HUGE comeback for a pop, only to lose.
