Oct. 11, 2004

A historic Monday Night RAW will take place this week as World Wrestling Entertainment invades Manchester, England.



The largest arena in the United Kingdom has been sold out for weeks, waiting for what’s sure to be another explosive evening of RAW action.



In a huge six-man tag team match, all three members of Evolution (Triple H, Ric Flair and Batista) will team up to take on the dangerous trio of Edge, Shawn Michaels and Chris Benoit. Undoubtedly, Edge, HBK and Benoit will be out to prove that they deserve the shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Taboo Tuesday. Will any of them be able to impress the fans? Watch RAW to find out.

In a Women's Championship match, Stacy Keibler will challenge champion Trish Stratus.

Since WWE fans will be playing the role of GM for Taboo Tuesday, it’s critical nobody misses RAW from the UK (9/8 CT Spike TV).





Let's hope this shit is good tonight. Let's get a mod to sticky this and also, since Radd is banned forever, I will now do the Raw threads.

radd is permanently banned?
:'(

...........Hi Joey Radd

Take it to another thread :mad:

guess thats a yes....sorry for bringing up a soft spot..i will delete the other message

Hopefully, we'll get something special tonight. RAW in the UK for the first time is sort of a big deal, so hopefully they'll pull out all the stops.

Personally, I hope La Res retain the belts, because I'm not crazy about makeshift Tag Team Champions like Regal and Eugene. They're a team, yes, but not in the same way as La Res (or Hurricane/Rosey or Rhyno/Tajiri, who have teamed almost weekly).

I also hope Stacy gets destroyed by Trish. It was bad enough that Stacy beat Molly Holly (it's the equivalent of Todd Grisham pinning Shawn Michaels, imo), if she goes over the Women's Champion, that division is finished.

Maybe the debut of Simon Dean? It wouldn't be big, but I think the character has the chance at being really entertaining.

Personally, I'm kind of hoping for an Edge heel turn tonight. It's been hinted at for a while, and it would give him an interesting story. Obviously, he shouldn't align with Evolution, as he's one of the contenders for Trips' title, but it could lead to an alliance with Christian, Tomko, and Trish that could lead to some dynamite promos (and grunting from Tomko).

Yeah I want E and C beack together (as a stable) more than anyone

EDGEWARD heel turn= :y:

I'm thinking about writing a RAW Recap (like my Velocity and Heat recaps). But, if I do that, I won't be able to change channels during Evolution promos or anything involving Lita.

Dilemma...

lol

Ill do it. Pick me, pick me!!

Hi Everybody! :wave:

This should be a good one tonight.. I hope. This makes or breaks Taboo Tuesday for next week.

LOOK AT HOW CRAPPY THE TV GRAPHICS ARE :mad:

I'm hopin to see the Peep signs.

then be bored stiff with the trish and stacy match. Stacy cannot wrestle

so the show starts out in the crapper... Stacy Kiebler

The reception looks crappy as hell :mad:

it's interesting. I like it. for a one or two time deal. not every monday though

Yeah I'll be used to it by the end of the night. Holy shit, did you guys hear that ring bell

I knew it was foggy in England, but this is ridiculous!

I'm just wonderin what happened to Trish's shirt

I am getting flashbacks of SummerSlam 92 for some reason...

Didn't this crowd come to the show for wrestling? So why start off in a women's match.. that has Stacy for that matter!

Triple H's mini lion got loose again :shifty:

they want to start us off with "someone we like." I see it as more of a piss off break

Pretty sweet titantron set tonight.

This way they dont lose viewers during the program... Everyone get your piss breaks done with now! :shifty:

Reminds me of an old Rebellion or other UK PPV set...

lol @ the tv graphics

this is too british, i feel like i'm watching mr. bean

that was a true crap finish. I've seen better crap in the toilet than that match

I thought Nidia was Gail Kim, only... Bigger...

Stupid foggy arena!

Anyone else think stacy really got hurt?

I like the set. the set is awesome. it is a reminder of Rebellion

Any appearance by Vicky = Ratings!

Yeah that's it.

I doubt Stacy is hurt. don't worry she'll be plaguin our TV next week.

The problem with the Women's Division is that most of the talented workers are heels (Trish, Molly, and Gail). Victoria is the only talented face, and Trish is the most over heel so they're the only two logical choices I can see feuding for the Women's Title. Stacy Keibler is over as well, but she's eye candy (and nice eye candy at that) not a wrestler. Judging the pop Victoria received over Nidia, she should be the #1 contender.

Has long has she doesn't wrestle

Simon!

He doesnt like me :(

I still don't see what is so nice about Stacy Kiebler. she isn't ugly but I always thought eye candy should look better from all dimensions.

hey hey Simon Dean. He doesn't like me. He's cool.

"If you live in this country"... Umm, this aired in the arena I'd assume... What are you talking about Simon, UK or US :shifty:
