Last stop before Unforgiven
September 11, 2006

Game over for the McMahon MSG legacy?

Next week on RAW, Mr. McMahon will do something he’s always dreamed about: headline a WWE event at Madison Square Garden. The Chairman will step into the ring and square off against Triple H one week before DX faces the McMahons and ECW World Champion Big Show at Unforgiven in a Hell in a Cell Match. Will Mr. McMahon do something that hasn't been done by the New York Knicks in years and pick up a Victory?

On ECW on Sci Fi, DX proved they'll go to extreme measures to avoid another beating like the one they suffered at the hands of Mr. McMahon and his lead pipe on RAW a few weeks ago. Will Triple H be able to carry his momentum from ECW on Sci Fi with him when he takes on the Chairman this Monday on RAW? Will Mr. McMahon walk out victorious in his first headlining match at the Garden?

Cena to SmackDown?

John Cena could be making his final RAW appearance at MSG next Monday night. If Cena loses to WWE Champion Edge at Unforgiven, he’ll be relocated to SmackDown for the next three years… and the Rated R Superstar would like nothing more then to send his archrival away for good. SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long was at RAW last week to scout his potential new Superstar, but does Cena have anything in store to ensure he’ll remain a RAW Superstar?

Six-Man Tag Team encounter

In a preview of Unforgiven, a huge Six-Man Tag Team Match will take place on RAW at the World's Most Famous Arena when John Cena, Carlito and Jeff Hardy collide with WWE Champion Edge, Randy Orton and Intercontinental Champion Johnny Nitro. This massive tag team match is the last stop for each of these competitors before their respective matches at Unforgiven. What will transpire when all six men explode at MSG?

What will happen on the last RAW before Unforgiven? Tune into the USA Network at 9/8 CT to see all the WWE action unfold.

____________________________________________

I'm popping on early since I'll be back and fourth with alot of shit tonight. I'm expecting a bit of patrotic stuff before the show, but hopefully it'll pop tonight.

I had a dream last night that McMahon/H didn't happen. Here's hoping.

I'd Mark out if Hassan returned tonight.

LETS HEAR IT FOR TASTELESSNESS!

That thought also crossed my mind.

As horribly (and purposely) timed as that would be, I would honestly praise Vince for it.

DX is out, and Vince comes to the ring.

Vince: Woah, before we go anywhere, since YOU have Shawn at your side, I think I should have someone...

*Triple H laughs at him*

Vince: Say hello to my ARAB FRIEND!

ALAYALALAYALALAYALAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

This should be great. I hope the New Yorkers rip the fuck out of all the retarded shit the WWE has going on its programming.

Hopefully that match won't suck, although I have a feeling it will, and hard.

Maybe Vince and H will work stiff. That would be hilarious.

Since this could be my last Raw thread of my career I feel the need to post in it.

Finkel! Awesome!

*moment of silence* My girl wants to party all the time, party all the time, party all the timeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

:y: Very good intro.

Good evening everyone. And god bless you all.

More like "And now a moment of silence...

"ALEYALAAA..."

They were too stupid to keep quiet anyway. What harm could it do? Cheering during a moment of silence. God...

Lillian has the best rendition of the national anthem ever.

I was totally hoping for that.

Nice intro. Almost feels like WM right now.

she needs to stop popping it up and just sing it.

Naitch! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Ric Flair to get the ball rolling.

Whoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Less 9/11, more Flair Flop - kay JR?

Flair vs. Umaga.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMAGA!

JR: ...But we're here to celebrate life, by showing a man who's about as close to death as you can get without being a Rectal Pertruder joke...

Lillian looking H-O-T tonight

this match will suck

UUUUUUMAGA

Lou Bega and Jamalga

:rofl: Flair: *after Umage no selling the chair* Oh, FUCK.

that's it, Flair's dead

BAH GAWD HELLFIRE AND TOASTER PASTRIES!

what's the purpose of the whole sitting up thing? it worked back in the late 90s but doing it now is pointless

Kane/Umaga could be good. Hopefully Kane won't do the JOB

Remind me what the point is of making someone unstoppable look scared of a little pyro....

It's the subtle No-Sell.

Good evening everyone.

not too subtle anymore. the only time he sits up is if he lands with his legs and arms straight. anyother way and it ain't happenin. It's retarded.

If WWE really wanted to get Umaga over, Kane would od the job but they'll probably have some stupid DQ finish.

I like how umaga/kane is building up.

I was gonna expect big things from the 6 man tag but then I might be disappointed so I'm expectin average from it so that way I can enjoy it

umaga/kane has been the highlite of RAW for weeks.

I love it.

LOL, it was good, but not quite Flair's scared shitless look, which is priceless.

I liked the Umaga Kane bit... Kane throwing the stairs from the ring onto Umaga was actually pretty bad ass.

I agree, I'm glad that Umaga is finally catching on, it seemed kind of stupid when they tried to push him as an undefeated monster when he beat jobbers week after week.

Cactus is broken in dem HAF!

Ah. The good ole days.

Is this the new Highlanders entrance?

For a minute. I thought the Highlanders were getting a special intro.

PIPER!

PIPER! FUCKING EH!

I kinda like that they have been doing that lately. On Smackdown they had Lashley throw a chair from inside the ring to Finlay on the outside, and was a pretty sick shot.

The three Kiltsmen

PIPER!!!!!!!

Someone called this a while ago but I forget who.

I think Hot rod is on TV more now than he ws in his best days

WTF?????

Why isn't he managing these guys?

Roddy? Heck yea!!

hmm... wonder what interesting thing Piper will do tonight

He had best days?

I'M ROBBIE

before the broke hip... I think

Three Stooges.

Come on, give the man his due, hes one of the best.

Now this slapping is a little much

6 man tag?

Oh yay. The Spirit Squad interrupt the first entertaining segment of the night.

The Scottish Stooges

since when did the WWE use body mics? :lol:

Jesus Christ, cheerleaders insulting the masculinity of scotsmen?

Irish and Scotsmen taking Guff Male from Cheerleaders?

HOOOOOOOOOO!

Isnt the Rock suppose to be in the house? Promoting his movie?

Piper and the Highlanders ain't drunk enough, or they'd be dead by now.

LP mic? I was wondering how that would look on a WWE stage.

Those fuckers still have their sidearms, too.

2 six man tag matches? Ehhh...

Cool to see Piper back in action.

Cheerleaders vs. Scots. normally Scots would win but since this is WWE it might be the cheerleaders

Tag Matches on WWE TV... WTF?

not sure how cool it's gonna be.

Piper is amazing.

It looks like I called it for the six man tag and I still have a hard time believing the legitimacy of The Rock being here but I saw a commercial on USA with The Rock saying he was gonna promote Gridiron Gang(didn't mention Raw) so it might be true.

Hughes Vs Penn should be a nice fight

Sabu/Show again?

Just Rock being there would be a highlight

They're going to show a clip of Gridiron Gang *snore* after RAW. Rock will pretty much not be on WWE TV ever again.

Match sucks

They're supposed to be airing something on it after Raw, before Law and Order.

I wanna see Cryme Time

:( :yes:

a "special" 15 minute segment of it I think

I thought I read something about an in ring return. I must be retarded and thinking of something else.

I still think Rock acting is him pissing away his talent. I know it benefits him more, but his body was made for wrestling.

The Hot Rod is in.

Thank god for Tshirts. No piper-tits today.

Wow, Nice fucking move

Piper gets the win.

Yanks up 8-5 in case people were wondering

Shades of Tully!!!

A fair match. Not good or bad. Piper's getting a little big.
