Official monday night RAW Jan. 12 2004 thread
 

THE ROAD TO THE RUMBLE CONTINUES
Jan. 12, 2004
It will be the final New York City area appearance before WrestleMania XX, and if the one announced match is a sign of things to come, is in for a treat that will leave it itching for the big event in March. By virtue of defeating Mark Henry in a No. 1 Contender’s Match on RAW last week, Rob Van Dam will face Randy Orton for the Intercontinental Championship, a rematch against the very man who beat him for the Championship at Armageddon. RVD will have revenge on his mind, but Orton has been nearly unstoppable for some time now. Will history be made on RAW? Tune in to find out!

Also, last week, RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff found his way out of a night dealing with the law of Sheriff Stone Cold Steve Austin when he handed the reigns as RAW GM to Theodore Long – thanks to the promise owed to Long after Survivor Series. Bischoff took the night off, but it is clear that he will eventually have to run RAW as GM with the new Sheriff in town. Since Austin's return RAW has been pure chaos, leaving many people to wonder if this is what the Board of Directors had in mind when they re-instated Stone Cold.

RAW Superstars Kane and Booker T also began the road to Royal Rumble last week by throwing their hats into the ring for the Royal Rumble. Both declared that the path to victory and a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania may be through each other, but also said that nothing is going to stop either of them from gaining a Rumble victory. Will any other RAW Superstars enter the Rumble? Only one way to find out … watch RAW at 9/8 CT on Spike TV!

I doubt they'll do anything dumb like have Orton drop the IC title, so it'll likely be another win for Randy.

The big question as I see it is what role will Mick Foley play on this show. Its in Long Island, which is Foley's home, so they have to use him in some capacity. Maybe he comes out after Orton's match and beats up on Randy. Or maybe Randy does some type of pre-taped vignette doing something to like Foley's house or his family or whatever.

Hopefully they announce a lot more guys for the Rumble from the RAW side.

Stone Cold will probably use his "Sheriff" status to re-instate Foley in some captivity.

I'm really looking foward to the follow up of him walking out.

Um didnt I already have this up?

Whoa I made mine first!

Tough shit.

You never even said yours was an official thread anyway, you just posted it like it was a news story.

Also, you done it too early.

wrestling_god does the official raw threads now.

Do what you avatar says.

:nono:

:nono:

now i wanna vomit

My avatar is just a flag.

It doesn't tell me to do anything.

:-\

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Orton lost the IC strap tonight and won the Rumble, as high on Orton as WWE is.

Title avatar same thing

Custom Title, Dipshit

ooo you got me :roll:

LOL

ok paul carrington needs to stop whinning like a little bitch if your going to make a thread do it right!

Marks out for Coach.Yessssssssssssss

I said the same thing you did bitch!
------------------------------------------
coach is back!

Oh man... Jazz is back. And the Womens division sucks again. :(

then why dont people like yours??? did you label it right moron

Lack luster match is on. (which reminds me of the author of this topic.)

your mom doesnt think so...tell that bitch she stillowes me money, and her food stamps wont work

LOL

so there bumping jericho down to mark henry standards?

That doesn't work over the internet guy. :nono:

Henry vs Jericho = :(

You should be happy.

LOL @ Hardy

:lol:

So...what happened to Lita? I missed the botched spot where she apparently hurt her arm.

And Austin sucks. :nono:

goldberg

And squash goes Matt Hardy. *sigh*

austin :(
goldberg :(

Poor Matt. He's gonna job

Well i was worried the WWE was gonna do something stupid like have Matt Hardy be squashed by John Heidenreich or someone stupid. Goldberg isn't the worst person to get squashed by...

Matt should have stayed on SD... nah

:nono:

Man Goldberg sucks on the mic...

I didn't specifically say that it was Lita's fault, did I? Just made an incorrect assumption. And I assumed Molly was part of the problem, since JR actually said something to that extent. But thanks, though.

WHY WHY WHY WHY. Wasn't there anybody else to job.

Dude, you sound like Dark_Kane

Such lame jokes :n:

Yeah Coach is doing an awesome job commentating I think...

Shut up already

Thanks. :y: I'll keep that in mind the next time I post. :y:

:y: :y: :y: :y: :shifty:

Anyway, my bad.

Old^

old :nono:

Didnt I (and everyone else) tell you to shut up?

That guy in the blue outfit looked kind of like saturn.

man are you still bitching? get over it already

He's too ****ing stupid to listen...

ummm no just you and Kenny. So bacisally no one important.

Micks gonna have to take moppys seat :(

Bro, take it from a guy who just got the shoe out of his mouth. Shut up. It's not worth it.

And what's with everyone and growing beards now? Goldberg, D-Von...

Those two (and wrestling_god) are the only ones to say anything, but the rest of us were thinking it.

I wanna see Shannon Moore with a beard. :naughty:

I'm taking that into consideration.

D'von is such a bad singles wrestler, Bubba is much better at putting on a decent singles match. Neither are that good at singles matches I don't think?


LOL @ Coach pissing off JR!! Seriously Coach is doing GREAT as a heel announcer

"I'm a legend in the making... a legend in the bedroom!"

Oh and :y: at flair kick Bubba's ass!!!

Yes lets get back to wrestling.

good idea

lol then he wouldnt look like one of the hanson bros

is it neccesary to put red carpet in the ring?

hmmm
Hanson vs 3-Count

hmmm indeed

So whats happening?

is this a promotion or time filler?

who else thinks this match will come down to the last second now?

Doesn't he have to go through puberty first?

As for the guy at ringside, I swear I've seen him before. This is pissing me off, I'm usually really good at figuring these things out. It's not Saturn, but it looks a lot like him...

As much as it sucks that HHH puts over HBK more than people like Y2J, RVD, Booker T, Kane and so many others, HHH and HBK really do have great chemistry together.

ouch....hbk killed coach

Was that shoot promo HHH just did? It didn't seem like it was scripted because I think he started improvising the promo after he said, "I'm going to start saying things out of character"..... that was actually a great promo by HHH. I think it's definitely sounded like a shoot promo.

:)

Saturn is bigger and much more tan than that guy is, but everyone is right, I swear I've seen him before too...

That arm tat looks similar to the one on the guy at ringside, doesn't it?

Poor Shannon, almost 25 years old & still looks 14.

No cable, what be up now?

OK so who is that guy loopydate?

It's Travis Bane from OVW.

I just checked his bio, though, and he's listed at 295, and this guy's nowhere NEAR that big, so I guess the search continues.

dOOd Lita suxxs cuse she has 2 movs!!1111!!

New music for the Book?

new booker music

from originals

Finally, it's about damn time Booker T got a new theme song.

Yeah I think his tatoo is bigger than the guy at ringside? I'd have to see again though...

Here comes Kane, my favorite. :y:

Booker T is whippin Kane's ass. :n:

Stop jerkin off.

*Kane slams Booker's head into the steel stairs. The bell sounds*

JR: I don't know what the official's call is here...

ME: IT'S A F***ING DISQUALIFICATION, YOU MORON!
