Preview:In the wake of tragedy


At the end of Raw last week, Mr. McMahon was presumed killed in a horrific limo explosion — a moment that will forever taint what was otherwise an historic WWE Draft. As Raw heads into the Coliseum in Richmond, Va. this Monday night, its Superstars must cope with the fact that WWE’s Chairman is for all intents gone, his body seemingly lost in the flames that engulfed his limousine.

It’s hard to focus past the black cloud that has encircled World Wrestling Entertainment all week long. No one will speak ill of the deceased, though it was apparent after last week’s “Mr. McMahon Appreciation Night” that many of WWE’s Superstars, our fans and numerous celebrities saw him as a pathetic, power-mad dictator. But now that he’s gone, what exactly does he leave behind? And how will it affect Raw’s Superstars in Richmond this Monday night?

As for the WWE Draft itself, last week Raw said goodbye to The Great Khali, Torrie Wilson, Chris Masters and Ric Flair; however Raw also welcomed its newest Superstars to the roster: King Booker, Queen Sharmell, Snitsky, Mr. Kennedy and Bobby Lashley. Needless to say, all will have a profound impact on Raw in the coming weeks. However, Lashley — who was stripped of his ECW World Title after being randomly selected in the Draft — is planning to make his mark a little quicker than the rest. He had already established a strong Raw presence during his rivalry with Mr. McMahon over the past few months; does he have an advantage over the other “newcomers” as they enter the Richmond Coliseum this Monday?

In the ashes of tragedy, life begins anew on Raw, Monday night at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

So I guess the C.O.O. of the company is going to be on the show.

So who's GM of Raw?

Coach is taking over on an interim basis.

Looking foward to this. Just watched when Tugboat turned on the Bushwhackers and turned heel. lol, that came out of nowhere.

LOL

I remember that.

I was like. :wtf:

And I was only like 8-9 at the time.

Will we see Foley tonight? After all he is in the main event at the PPV 6 days from now.

yea, like you could potentially see it coming a mile away today if they were to do it, but back then you were perplexed.

I liked how Vince called it "oh no, Jimmy Hart got to Tugboat."

Well even today it still makes me go "what the fuck were they thinking?"

I mean what was Tugboat reasoning to do it?

Who cares? He sucked.

Well actually rewatching it, it made sense. Cause the week or two before on Superstars Jimmy said he signed Andre to be Earthquake's tag partner and they would protect the Nasty Boys, who were Hart's champions.

But Andre denied Hart and Earthquake took Andre out (that was very cool btw)

So Hart went to the next big man, Tugboat, and got him to join to team with Quake.

I haven't gotten this far yet on the DVD's, but then somewhere Earthquake and Typhoon turn face because they get sick of being Hart's number 2 team.

Evenin Fellas. While we are doing the Nostalgic thing.

Watched the Managers DVD today. Heenan was the man. Period.

What DVDs do you have?

I bought a season of Superstars 1991 from some dude.

Mania 3, 20, 21, 22.
Managers DVD
Troops DVD
Rise Fall of ECW
Monday Night Wars
ECW One Night Stand 05
Starcade 85 (got with WM 3 deal on Ebay)
Beyond the Mat
Numerous other PPVs

Nice.

Last year I bought every single SNME and The Main Event on eBay.

I'm only up until the build for Wrestlemania IV.

Wasn't really talking to you, lol.

oh sweet. I want those badly. I almost bought SNME set this time, but opted for Superstars instead. I really wanted to see the Jake Roberts heel stuff being played out.

Going through YouTube I never knew Bad News Brown and The Twin Towers appeared on Arsenio Hall.

Both segments were hilarious. :lol:

sorry dude you wrote that right after my post so figured. oh well.

LOL I love Slick, he needs to come back and manage Snitsky.

Gonna participate in this this time, I think....unless it sucks ass.

Also, remember the Kennedy burial should begin tonight.

Nah, Kennedy probably won't be returning to the ring for another couple of weeks.

i wish it was bischoff that would be head of wwe that would be cool as hell he would say i told you so back in the wcw days.

Meh...he was the most talked about trade on the nets, at least on here. NO ONE saw it coming, and he is very much over right now. I think he will be on in some way tonight.

You talking bout Kennedy? NO-ONE saw it coming?

To me it was obvious. The only thing that made me kind of doubt it was the fact that a ready-made feud with Edge would be out of the question.

How would he be the first canidate to be traded, then? He was only a heel on SD, and all signs were pointing to a sudden face turn before this happened.

Because he's a rising star, with main event potential. Raw is the flagship show. It's a no brainer, really.

Here goes...

And we are off. Wonder if do anything for Sherri?

:wtf:

So EVERY rising star that ever gets popular MUST be moved to RAW?....

Wait...this is Vince McMahon...no logic in THAT brain!

LOL no tribute to Sherri at the beginning.

Is that Bob Uecker saying "Andre The Giant" in the WWE intro?

Good evening fellas. Should be a good tonight.

Wow. No mention of Sheri, but they're gonna shove this shit down our throats.

Not saying MUST, but that's the way it be's.

Of course not...they put her real death way below the big "fake" Vince McMahon death. What makes you think they will here?

Yea I think that was from mania 3.

Foley?

FOLEY

Boooooooooo, Mick Foley.

Well...like I said, this is VINCE! He thinks more people have SciFi than the CW.

EDIT: 2,000TH POST,BITCHES!!! BOUT FUCKING TIME!!

Stupid WHAT

Bet Mick's lovin' this...

:lol: @ the booing and the "WHAT?!" chants

LOL Orton

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Hey, Orton.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo * 2, Orton.

Wait, Orton can read?

All hail King Booger.

ALL HAIL KING BOOK-AH

now I know where this is leading.

Now King Booker....STILL WITH THE FUCKING KING GIMMICK!!

And to break my almost 2 year streak of not watching wrestling.....I return to a RAW thread!

Hey look...King Booker.....his hair got longer hair.

let the finger-pointing fest begin. :roll:

Lemme guess Booker and Orton against Foley, Cena, and Lashley

rofl @ this beginning.

Booker/Lashley feud coming?

KING BOOKHAAA!

Next will probably be Kennedy, then Snitsky. Work our way down the draft picks.

Bobby Lashley did it. Wait, a black man is snitching on another blackman?

And good for Lawler and JR to shut the fuck up besides during that Booker entrance.

Probably....

Bobby used to be an Army Ranger? That's kinda cool.

A "Federal investigator". Who did they get to play a fake FBI agent? :shifty:

SUPERCENA!!!

Oh joy. Cena.

Oh look the show just died.....leats for me it did.

Lashley needs to be a heel, he alls uses fistes instead of words

WTF, Cena too now?

WHAT?

Cena is wearing the belt...AROUND HIS WAIST?!?!?

Cena with the "controversial" reactions.

CAN NO ONE HEAR THE GOD DAMN BOOS!?

Conviently everyone in the title match at Vengence.

Barely a peep out of JR or the King yet...this is ALREADY the best RAW ever.

So the whole Booker/Sharmell split is one of those 'please forget it ever happened' things?

This Monday Night Raw?

You mean it's not Thursday Night Impact?

So I guess it's Cena and Lashley v. Orton and Booker in the ME.

BTW, I killed him.

He got turned into a Crispy Critter?

Ok, so it's now blatantly obvious they are using the "Who killed Vince?" angle to hype the WWE title match on Sunday. :shifty:

Now I killed him!

Cena, the voice of reason? Now I have seen it all.

The pool boy did it!!

Wow....an actual rhyming scheme....

Haha, XFL [/Phil Ken Sebben]

Cena...rapping?

Who'dathunkit?

The drunk guy in the bleachers did it, for fucking sure.


COACH!!! WTF IS UP WITH THIS BEGINNING?!

Oh look......Coach....I think I'll go take a nap now.

Just waiting for Shane and Steph to show up.

I love Coachman's theme song. Go KC.

The Coach.

Coach did it.

I would never thought I be so glad for The Coach to come out and shut Cena up.

Awww...hell the whole Arena's gonna blow up tonight!

TAG MATCH TAG MATCH!!

WHO FUCKING CALLED IT?

Yes, Coach is finally GM!

It's the SUPERMEN as a tag team.

Other than anyone with half a brain, but still. Page 2, bitches.

Foley vs. Khali?

FOLEY VS. UUUUUUMMMAAAGA

Wooooooooooo, Umaga!

Now we won't hear anything else about the VKM explosion for the rest of the night...you watch.

One could only hope.

BET WE WILL HEAR SOMETHING THOUGH!
