Official RAW Thread (7/30/2007): Destiny is only an RKO away
 

The battle between the kingdoms of Booker and Lawler continues to build, as the duel between the royals on Raw is Monday night.

WWE.com caught up with King Booker as he was studying a library of videotapes with his Queen Sharmell by his side. Making mental notes about WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler’s tendencies and tactics, the monarch tried to control his anger as he caught a glimpse of Lawler wearing the crown and royal robes he’s displayed proudly for the past 30 years.

Alas, the King’s anger boiled over, proclaiming he has had his fill of pretenders and traitors to his throne, including Lawler and the King of Kings, Triple H.

"It will be a new beginning for King Booker [on Monday] … I will prove to the world that Jerry Lawler is no more than a fake. He’s a fraud and a phony," proclaimed the King.

When told of the arrogant royal’s outburst, Lawler just shook his head. He’s already shown his disgust for this ugly dispute, frequently explaining to Booker there’s plenty of room for two kings in the vast kingdom in WWE.

"I thought a couple of weeks ago we were going to have a chance to peacefully co-exist … No one’s had any problem with me being 'The King' for the past 30 years," Lawler explained.

He went on to explain that the King of the Ring tournament winner has the right to call himself "king" for a period of time, and he has no problem with that winning temporarily infringing on his royal trademark. They’ve earned it.

But King Booker’s demand that all ring royalty renounce their throne is just ludicrous to the Memphis hero. The fact that Triple H’s video announcements of The Game’s return at SummerSlam also makes Lawler wonder about Booker’s state of mind.

"I’m surprised his crown will fit on his head, it’s swelled so much," Lawler joked. "If he wants to make this match about whom the only king in WWE is, that’s OK with me. I’m not worried about that. To me, this is just another match where I prove to my opponent why I’m called ‘The King.’"

Booker warned the treasonous Lawler had better worry about his personal well-being. It’s been nearly nine months since Lawler has been in action inside the WWE ring. The arrogant royal looks to use the WWE Hall of Famer’s inactivity to his advantage, and end the Lawler’s legend once and for all.

"On Monday Night Raw, I will prove that I am the greatest champion, the King of all Kings, and I will lay Jerry Lawler down to rest," King Booker proclaimed.

I'm predicting that Lawler will get more offense in on Booker than he should.

Holy crap the kid from Home Alone is in the front row.

Hopefully Booker in 2 minutes clean.

Probably Booker in 8 minutes with a rollup with feet on the ropes to protect the commentator. :(

The countdown to Cena jobbing the title is on.

CARLITO'S CABANA

Carlito's interacting with main eventers? Somebody STOP HIM!

What's next? A title shot? :rofl:

LOL @ the stabbing reference

Wait...there was a three years ago? What? Huh?

We all saw Herbie: Fully Loaded? :wtf:

lol awsome.

Love the reference to the stabbing.

Cena won't send him a Christmas card? OOOOOOOOOH! ZING!

Hahahaha Lashley is going to destroy Kennedy.

It got the eight year olds to laugh.

Stick his apples up his cabana? THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!

Didn't you hear? Cabana is the new slang for ass.

:lol:

That segment had potential until Cena went into corny joke over-drive.

Honestly after all the apathy I've had for wrestling lately, I enjoyed that.

Seriously, was it really that bad?

Victory is not in this match...therefore this match has no credibility.

Good start to raw, but those shite themes the women come out to piss me off, especially Marias ffs.

So it's three actual wrestlers vs. one wrestler and two models.

Kennedy owns. Just hearing him say Shutup to Carlito cracked me up. Cena wold have done well to stfu. It'd be good to see Kennedy get a classic heel victory today. They can't keep jobbing him.

Fucking Maria... av it.

Dear lord, please end this match now, or deliverous a wardrobe malfunction...thus making me feel like I'm not wasting time.

Maria's back to jobbing. :lol:

Thank fuck for that.

That was a good match, what are you talking about?

JR doesn't know which one is Beth Phoenix and which one is Jillian Hall. Nice. :roll:

This really needs a Marella rape angle.

When Triple H comes back, my life will be complete. :heart:

Yeeeaahhh love this music.

Melina :drool:

Oh and that match sucked

I've got two words to describe that match: Shark Week.

I pray that Trips uses that music again

Jesus. Too many adverts over there. But Cow and Chicken is on Boomerang so watching that in between. lol

"My Time"? - Damn right. me too.

Kennedy vs. The Incredible Shrinking Lashley

LOL Santino is refusing

THATSA SPICYA MEATA-BALL

He's-a-da pissedoff paisano.

Eeet's-a-heem, Santino!

lol. Worst heel turn ever?

Hahahahaha

UMAGA!!! The ITALIAN KILLER

This reminds me of Paul London's semi-heel turn a few years ago.

Get Umaga a mike!

Yep, no question. :y:

wtf is going on.

JACK DOAN IS AN AMERICAN HERO!

Umaga's pissed because Santino didn't deliver in 30 minutes or less.

AHAHAHAHA

Welcome to Jobberville, population Santino

:lol: total burial!

WTF REF TALKING! This is a weird RAW already.

LOL

Umaga needs to be a face, he'd be awesome

When did Umaga start using the Black Hole Slam?

Weird.

Hahahahaha. Excepta thisa hada dodgy italiana on micraphona

Ohhh I love that robe.

The telly?

I love the King being called 'Jerome'

If these fans were smart, they'd start a "Where's my pizza" chant to Santino.

All hail the king

This RAW is weird. I BEG. FUCKING BEG. FOR A TRIPLE H RUN-IN to save da king.

The King's new name is Jerome

All hail King Booka

Booker is awesome. :'(

Hey guys, my first post on this board.(rather obvious who i favor lol)

Anyhow, WWE makes me sick as of late. The ''king'' booker angle is old as booker T only has moderate heel mic skills. I dont understand why they brought Kennedy over only to make him a jobber. He should get a title shot, he was robbed of his money in the bank.

Well, all I know is that Cena is a month away from finally jobbing his title and the return of the real champ is ticking down.

Oh man. Another break. ach, at least Johnny Bravo is on.

UMAGA ATE IT

This "king BOOKAH" shit is really getting fucking tedious. :foc:

Is there a better week on TV than Shark Week? Honestly?

Man that's some black eye.

:lol: Coach making Cody watch the boot of doom again

Cody's face looks fucked.

No picture to start this thread? Whoa. I feel so broken inside.

Wrong - not a good start

Also, what kind of arsehole stands there while someone plays back an assault of your father to you?

Some black eye on Cody and even better yellow tights.

GAY!!!!

There.

Then how the hell is Val Venis on the roster?

You have to win to be on Raw?

Then who the fuck books Val Venis?!?!?!

RKO GRISHAM

Great minds KoOS

Randy > Cena. I can't wait for SummerSlam. TPWW will go down.

LOL SARGE

Didn't Orton already kill him?

MAGGOT

Haven't we done Orton vs Slaughter before?

haha

SLAUGHTER! "You're a maggot!"

That's a concussion for Slaughter then.

They should let sarge have a tag partner, the drill sarge from FMJ, should just let that guy loose on the mic nothing censored. :lol:

LOL Daivari.

Lashley should be the new Sergeant Slaughter.

What the fuck?! Daivari on TV?!

Whens the last time davair was on raw? :eek:

WHAT?

I miss Hassan

I miss Sean O'Haire

A few weeks ago.

Daivari vs Cody, hopefully this will be decent, and Cody doesn't win by roll-up.
