Preview:The Adamle-era begins!
August 4, 2008

On Monday night, Shane McMahon appeared on Raw and announced the show’s new General Manager: Mike Adamle. Our fans were shocked to learn that WWE’s flagship program would now be headed up by the absent-minded ECW commentator. Will Adamle be able to take control and command the respect of the Raw roster, or will the mayhem overwhelming the show continue to run unchecked?

On his very first night as Raw GM, Adamle made a number of matches. The biggest of these however, was Raw’s first SummerSlam match: For the first-time ever, John Cena vs. Batista. Recent weeks have seen both Superstars displaying their hunger for championship gold, but their match at SummerSlam will be to determine who is truly the top contender on Raw. With two competitors as intense as Cena and The Animal, will they even make it to SummerSlam before a collision?

Though SummerSlam is right around the corner, there’s plenty to look forward to on the next Raw as well. For the first time since having his right eye severely injured by Chris Jericho at The Great American Bash, Shawn Michaels will appear for an interview on Raw. Y2J has claimed that he ended the career of HBK, will Michaels corroborate this evidence? What will The Showstopper have to say to the man who injured him so severely?

Though he is still gloating about his win over Michaels, Jericho has begun to look forward as well. The man once known as the Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla hosted what he announced as the last edition of his talk-show, the Highlight Reel. Y2J shared several clips of a more fun, fan-friendly Chris Jericho, and then let the WWE Universe know that it was a thing of the past. Like a slew of other top Superstars, Jericho has his eyes on nothing short of the World Heavyweight Championship, and communicated as much. Will new GM Mike Adamle be receptive to Jericho’s desire for championship gold? Who will fall into Y2J’s sights next?

For the answers to these questions and more, make sure to tune into Raw, Monday nights at 9/8 CT only on USA Network. And don’t miss Saturday Night’s Main Event this Saturday at 9/8 CT on NBC.

Will go to the gym and play basketball, not gonna watch this bullshit with Adamle as GM.

I wish I could watch

I'm actually pretty psyched going into this.

TiVoing this shit, then watching at 10:00, so I can fast-forward through all the crap parts. Though it does sound all right.

RAW has had me pretty interested the past month. I've stared watching wrestling again (solely RAW) for the first time in 7-8 years. Its not as good as back then, but at least to me the stuff has been entertaining enough.

I think Adamle can work in this role, we'll just have to see how its played out. Who knows, maybe if he has a script to act out to rather than commentating on the fly he can do better. Should be interesting none the less.

I wanna see HBK's thing, and hopefully they put Jericho in vs. Punk

<font color=goldenrod>Simply Priceless vs. Cena and Batista for the World Tag Titles...hope we see a Bats turn instead of Cena and Bats holding the tag titles in a rehash of Cena/HBK from last year</font>

I think Adamle as GM is going to be great. Also, since my girlfriend has to work late tonight, I get to sit through this entire Raw with my TPWW friends before I go see her! I love you guys!

Also, say what you will about Adamle on commentary, but any time he has been involved in backstage skits, he has been great. I think some of you are in for a surprise with him.

On a vaguely related note, the description on the cable box describes Adamle as a 'former NFL star'. Do they really think that a casual television viewer will come across that and

A) Remember Mike Adamle in the NFL

or

B) Give a shit enough to tune in to Raw?

I'm somewhat intrigued as to how this whole Adamle/GM thing plays out.

I'd much rather see Orton come back and save Priceless. Hence forming the generation stable some of us hope for.

Mike Adamle was a NFL star??? I gotta tune in now!!!!!!!!!!

Is "Simply Priceless" the official name for the Rhodes/DiBiase tag team? I don't believe it is.

Jamaican me a sammich!!!!

Ohhh, I've got some leftover popcorn chicken. Holler at your boy.

Simply Priceless isn't a GREAT name, but it could be worse. At least they're not Well Dunn or Techno Team 2000.

Could we see "Wacky Mis-Match Tag Team Champions 94390" crowned tonight?

I hope Adamle has some kick ass theme music.

And heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere we go.

Evening fellas.

I don't think Cena and Batista will win for some reason. That would really kill all of Rhodes and Dibiase's momentum.

AHAHAHA, Adamle getting heat

What the hell?

Am I back in school?

Jesus fuck, listen to that heat!

Ronald Regan is a huge heel.

Reagan?

Oh my god, after Raw I'm joining the Mike Adamle Fan Club!

lol Ronald Regan

Jeff Harvey is a better name, really.

Well fuck me sideways.

The man is coming clean.

Evening fellas. Hope this Adamle thing isnt a flop.

I'm Spike Fadamle, new gemeral fanager of Gronday Fright Gnaw.

I Believe In Mike Adamle

This guy is Jamaican me crazy!

Nobody calls him Dave anymore.

Cena and Dancin Dave in a tag match :n:

I knew JBL would do this. Remember how much shit he talked about Adamle last week? Love it.

JBL, that's not how you say excuse me.

I see JBL getting added to the Cena/Bats match.

GO JERICHO GO! GO JERICHO GO!

<font color=goldenrod>Mike Adamle has a perfect completion percentage in the NFL!!!</font>

:shifty:

I'm glad to see Jericho and JBL don't hate each other so much anymore.

yup. Jericho/JBL tonight.

Knock it off

oh wow. that wasnt expected

Punk gets put in a handi-cap match

Hasn't that been done before?

I wish Adamle would use the old American Gladiators theme.

Wow, so no matter what Punk is jobbing tonight

When is Summerslam?

What if CM Punk gets counted out? Who gets the shot then?

IC Champ is out first...that's usually a bad thing.

I have a bad feeling Coffee is dropping the belt to Paul "I wish I was over like my pirate gimmick" Burchill

I don't really want to see Burchill job again, but I don't really want to see Kofi lose the title so quickly either. Oh well, this should be good.

wow a new outfit for Katie. about damn time.

Psssh, that could mean anything.

If Paul Burchill follows Randy Savage's dress code, the gold on his tights should indicate a title win tonight.

Loving this match so far!

Welp Katie's winning the title later.

Mickie!

I don't really like Kofi's finisher, but good match.

Bummer. Missed the Kofi/Burchill match.

Bad week for The Burchills.

............Yea, I'm pissed at that, simply because this means it'll be Cena and Dave as your new tag champs :(

SO much for the Beth Phoenix face turn lol

Beth Phoenix getting another shot?

As much as I like Beth but, IS THERE NOBODY ELSE?

Mr. and Mrs. Beth Phoenix :lol:

How do you figure?

SMACK HER ASS!

She has great music

I wouldn't be so sure

And lol Santino

What if Cryme Tyme cost Cena and Batista the match, claiming that they are pissed that a thrown together tag team got a title shot before them?

Def won't happen, but I'm just making conversation here.

Also, I think Cryme Tyme is still due a title shot from before they were fired.

STONE COLD! STONE COLD! BAHGAWD!

Holy shit, I was at that Raw in the 8th row! I was holding a sign that said "SLAUGHTER SUCKS! AUSTIN 3:16"

Adam malee lol

Mazel Tov? Is Adamle JEWISH!?!?!?!?

Santino for IC Champion!

Santion vs. Beth

<font color=goldenrod>LOL Santino</font>

Santino is your next Womens champ

"an Adamle Original"

Put that in the books.

What has Santino done to deserve an Intercontinental title shot though?

Mike Ada-mall-ay

What the hell?

WWE going Hollywood again?

WTF is with the music...is he suppose to be Jesus now?
