Hogan and HBK - Face to Face
August 8, 2005

Shawn Michaels did his best Hulk Hogan impersonation on RAW on Aug. 1, and one can only imagine how much it must have gotten under the Hulkster’s skin. After making fun of his age, backstage “politicking,” his new reality show and more, HBK will go face to face with the WWE Hall of Famer. What will the Hulkster have to say to the Showstopper?

Also, how will John Cena react after being laid out thanks to the actions of Chris Jericho and RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff? The laceration that Cena received required five stitches, but doctors have cleared him for action. Tune in to RAW to find out what the WWE Champ’s next move is.

And RAW will be live from Pittsburgh, Kurt Angle’s hometown. Angle will be the hometown hero and try to win back his gold medal in the Eugene Invitational. Can Eugene do the improbable and defeat Angle twice?

And who will be the latest to go home in the 2005 RAW Diva Search Contest? The end is so close that Ashley, Kristal, Elisabeth and Leyla can taste it. But one of them will be going home. You can decide who it will be.

You won’t want to miss all of this exciting action and more, next week on RAW!

nice, someone new for a change. but it is a bit early.

Yea figured gonna try to start this week. Everytime I try someone just barely beats me this way no contest. lol. Actually gonna be a good Raw I think. I'm curious to how they will work this "Old HBK" thing when Hogan is in the house

I thought the earliest was 2 hours before. He's 6 minutes early. But who cares.

man this is mad early.

but not like before when it would be started round 3.

like thow threads opened round that time.

wait, nevermind, I'm here thinking its 6:00 not 7. Actually there not supposed to be made till 8, but nobody listens to that.

Only when they're before 6 does that bother me.

Well gives us an opportunity to Discuss Wrestling on a Wrestling board, figured not a bad idea right?

Question: Will Matt have a match tonight or will they save his first match for SummerSlam

No, they'll save it for SS

his first match iwll be at SS

and I like these threads bein open at 8 instead of 7 :p

Another question: How will they get Angle on the SummerSlam card. He's obviously getting the Medals back tonight, but does he face Eugene at SS for them again? Would make no sense at all...

I thought he meant Hogan and Michaels at first.

If he loses again to Eugene, they'll have their final match at SummerSlam. If he wins tonight, it's probably going to be a thrown together match.

I want to say Matt Striker or whatever his name is now, but in my opinion, Striker would have to win it the way things have gone for him.

Spoiler: And since Angle is going to main event Unforgiven with Cena, he can't lose at SummerSlam unless Cena costs him the match.

the stryker teacher guy will interfere and angle will loose tonight

you see Stryker on Heat? He was aight

Just like to emphasise something. The guy WWE have signed is called Matt Striker, not Matt Stryker who works for RoH.

**EDIT** LK is right!!!

yeah he's still Stryker

Nah, I just double-checked with obsessedwithwrestling.com..its two guys.

I'm still calling him Stryker

Im cool w/ a somewhat early Raw thread.

the boards were pretty dead, i don't mind it being early

yeah. but spamming it, I mean posting in it is still kinda dry

Thanks for the back up guys. I really dont see the big deal when I posted it, 2 hrs before show. I remember when these threads were started around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. If ya don't wanna read or post in it yet, don't right?

I still predict strIker to interfere in eugene/angle

why would he interfere?

maybe Angle won't be able to stop Eugene in the 3 minutes which iwll make the match at SS. with out the 3 minute time limit which is where Angle will win them back

I wonder if they will have Kurt do a heel promo off camera before he comes out to get Pittsburgh to hate him. At the Smackdown I went to before WM 19 when he faced Brock the title he cut a heel promo on Mr Rogers of all people. Hillarious.

Hoping for a good RAW tonight. :y: Was on vacation last week so couldn't watch it. I hate when I miss a RAW that Vince is on.

when wcw came to milwaukee hall&nash were getting beers from people in the croud and slaming them, then they got into the nitro girls cages and danced. it was soooo funny. the crowd went nuts. all off camera

HBK should get a mega super pop and Hogan should get booed out of the building just for last week alone.

I wish Hogan would wear his nWo colors with the paint-on beard and all. THEN rip on the Has Been Kid, "Hollywood" style.

Kurt/Eugene will just be a regular match at SS

Hollywood Hogan would be aight tonight... just not the red and yellow hogan

Whoo! First time on a RAW thread since signing up. Always seem to be out Monday evenings. Hope the show is good.

well whoooooooo

WELCOME TO RAW IS MADMAN! :D

Hi, everybody! How about them rasslin'? This week better be good after 2,3 weeks of not-so good shows. Anyways, all I got to say now is Angle v. eneguE = sgnitaR ! :cool:

Angle will get the three count or make the retard tap just after the 3 minutes are up thereby demanding a rematch at SS because Angle will argue he tapped or got the three count before the time was up.

Thats my predicition.

man we gonna get hte same thing we've been gettin maybe 4 matches, two of them craptacular tag matches and the other hour and a half will be crappy storylines, diva search, and commercials

Oh, forgot the last time, but....

FINALLY, Azriel HAS COME BACK to the RAW thread. WOOO!!!

WELCOME TO RAW IS SLIM!
