Batista leads the charge November 21, 2005


With just one week before the Survivor Series pay-per-view, be sure to tune into RAW tonight on the USA Network (9/8 CT) as Eric Bischoff and his Superstars come to you from the United Kingdom.
This week, Team SmackDown captain Batista leads his team of Randy Orton, JBL, Lashley & Rey Mysterio into RAW. What does The Animal's team have in store for their Survivor Series opponents? Watch RAW to find out.
In what promises to be an instant mat classic, Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle will take on his former associate Shelton Benjamin in one-on-one action. Shelton broke into WWE under Angle's tutelage, but did Angle teach him everything he knows?
Just six days before his showdown with Triple H at Survivor Series, Intercontinental Champion Ric Flair will square off against Trevor Murdoch. Will the "Dirtiest Player in the Game" be able to handle the double-tough former World Tag Team Champion?
Also, Divas will collide when Candice Michelle goes one on one with Mickie James. Don't miss all this and more tonight at 9/8 CT on the USA Network.

Good start to the show. That's how you explain away an injury.

I dunno. I didn't read the spoilers (despite major temptation).

Yeah, I think that could give Batista a good amount of time off.


"What's wrong with Batista?"

"He got chokeslammed through a windshield by The Big Show and Kane."

"Oh."

gayest start to a Raw yet.

They ought to give Murdoch a slogan, like "You got a purty mouth" :D

what the hell is that match about?

Just saw Team Sheep's sign.

wow, Flair actually made it off the top.

Flair had to have someone to beat, so HHH will come out and do something at the end

that raw sucks...probably because the last one was so good. Why couldn't some one else die?

and there's Captain Pissbreak himself.

Hmm, when he keeps it short, the promos don't totally suck the life out of everything. HINT HINT WRITERS!

Oh, don't worry. He will be hogging it again soon enough.

agreed link

awesome, the wrestling god is about to cut a promo!

Nice shirt

I dunno if HHH is champ that takes away the possibility of cena becoming heel soon.

and now a masterpiece that doesn't involve an overblown full nelson...

DAMMIT HASSA...ER DAIVARI!

greatest ref ever just showed up.

What was the sign?

:lol: Did Vince really think that Daivari would draw huge heel heat overseas?

Proboscis, huh? Joey's busting out the 50 cent words tonight.

Holy Crap! That DDT was sick!

Davari makes me miss hassan and his woulda be existant title reign.

When the hell did Daivari learn English?

He could always speak english, plus farsi.

Did he speak English when he was with Hassan? I thought he only spoke Farsi at that point.

He was Hassan's translator. Ergo, he needs to be able to speak English AND Farsi. ;)

Oh god i'm blind... snitskey.... :|

lol at this segment

well at least things picking up...the hell is the boogey man?

DAIVARI IS AWESOME! I'm glad WWE kept him.

The Cena gay jokes aren't funny.

HHH vs Val Venis next. I can't wait to see Venis get the pedigree in 16 seconds.

That would've been funny if one of the fans told Cena that he sucked.

That guy can seriously spit some water.

What is the point of HHH matches nowadays? <s>HHH & Stephanie</s>The bookers must need someone to fill up time

I've noticed Venis is on every Raw they do in Europe.

HHH can't even have a god damn match against Venis.

Who let Val get in some offense?

I heard those chants, I just wish someone said that when Cena shoved the microphone in their face.

Candice Michelle vs Mickey James came on just in time for me to feed my cats.

I think I just filled the cup

LOL

:roll: Now MNM will be taken off TV since they were dressed in black in England...

*Maria appears on screen*
Me: WHY DO YOU STILL HAVE A JOB?!
*Maria moves the microphone to the side*
Me: Oh, right. Those.

I'd rather watch a Maria interview than a Candice Michelle...anything.

Someone needs to tell Masters that the point of him being a lumberjack is too jump his enemy when they get thrown to the outside, not just stand there taking up space.

Lashley and Masters shouldn't be there. At least Lashley has some talent. There better be a stand off between Lashley and Kane.

i saw someone holding a tpww sign

That JBL big boot was sweet.

I marked out like a little bitch when Tista came out.

I wonder why Helms wasn't on. I hope his "push" isn't already over.

As did I.

Surprised there weren't any comments regarding Trish being bound and gagged. Maybe I was the only one who found that hot... :shifty:

Perhaps I was the only one who found that segment so horrible.

Ohhhhh

I thought they were saying CM Punk!

No wonder i was getting some weird looks when I jumped on my chair and did the crossed arm thing

Wtf, only 2 pages?LOL.Shortest raw thread ever,though it was a good raw i thought.

I guess it doesn't really have the same feeling to it when it's taped.

Why don't us lot in the UK get it live when its in the uk?It just doesn't make sense...

Because then you would be getting it before me, and thats a big nono

If it were up to Sky, then we probably would. But I think (this is just me thinking now) that we have to get it at the same time that the WWE give the live feed to the USA Network. And probably because it has to match with the USA's timeslot, seeing as we are 5 hours ahead of EST.

Yeah, that too. :p
