[quote name='Scorch']Edge's push won't get cooled off before Wrestlemania. If WWE does anything, they'll probably use this to fuel the angle.. then again, it could be the WWE playing a trick on the 'net.. I mean, think about it. This Edge/V1 situation has everyone in a "I wonder what'll happen!?" mood tonight.. they'll tune in to see. The ratings will skyrocket. They could totally be doing this to set up V1/Edge at WM. If it's real, however, they need to be seriously careful. Hardy's scheduled to be on Raw tonight (or AT Raw, at the very least). Edge will be there as well. If WWE found a way to play this out on TV, that would be awesome. Honestly, what if Matt went to the ring and announced his return.. Edge came out to welcome him back, V1 would kinda just give him an evil glare, Edge would have the crazed look in his face.. the fans would eat it up. The 'net would love it.

For Matt, I seriously hope this is an angle. I can't picture Lita hooking up with Edge, and I don't know why Edge would cheat on his wife. I still think this is going to be part of an angle of some sort.. regardless, I can't wait to see the tension tonight. If it's real, they'll probably have Edge job until WM, where he'll lose again and probably be shifted to Smackdown.

Admit it - regardless of whether the story is real or not, Edge is the ultimate heel now.[/quote]

I had thought about this, but it really wouldn't fit well with the Kane thing.
 
[quote name='JimmieMac']What are we expecting to happen tonight?[/quote]

For certainty's sake, I'm going to leave wrestling off my list.

1. Edge will get heckled by the crowd.
2. Batista will get his ass handed to him in an Evolution sneak attack.
3. Simon Dean will get punked.
4. Chris Masters will exhibit 3 wrestling moves.
5. Chris Jericho will become, somehow, even more meaningless.

myke.
 
Call his cell phone, see if he's sitting on or opposite the camera. If he's on the camera side, might as well turn on FOX now.

I should have asked, but forgot to. I guess where you are positioned does matter more since they moved the announcers away from the ring

No wonder Lita went for Edge...Matt's chest is fucked up.
 
Hm, when HBK says last week was the most "brutal street fight of his caeer", I guess he is forgeting the one where HHH hit him in the back with a sledgehammer right after he came back.

Edit: I said cage match when I meant street fight. Brain fart.
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']Didn't HBK have a rather hellish cage match with Undertaker?[/quote]

I meant street fight. Big ole loss of brain skillz.
 
After one of the worst promos of his career on SD this past week, Kurt rebounds to deliver a spine-chilling, AMAZING, promo on Raw tonight. Pre-recorded or not, that was exactly what a promo should be like.

Definitely, man. That promo gave me teh juicebumps.

I favor the goofy Kurt Angle, but I agree, word for word no less, with you assessment of that promo. God forbid logic enter into a storyline.

myke.
...except for the lame SD promo part, since I missed it.
 
Back when he was known as Kimo (and Jamal was O.G. Ekmo), he did a fantastic second-rope moonsault (lionsault if you prefer) known as "Kimo-therapy." Pretty intense, since he's a fat bastard.

myke.
 
It was just bad... Kurt was at a loss for words at time, and repeated himself several times. He was just all over the place really. Tonight's promo made sense. Kurt touched on some areas that I hadn't even thought of, incorporating the 96 Olympics was pure genius. I have a feeling the HBK-Angle match will steal the show at WM21.

So, the show is in North Carolina tonight, will Ric Flair be the crowd's face vs Batista?

HEY! It's Chris Brannan!!!! The WWE Raw athletic trainer, and the guy who has got me tickets to tons of shows.

That was really a shame how the whole 3-minute warning tag team didn't work out. Especially after they hyped them up so much. I think they could've been fairly successful, and Raw would've had an actual tag team. Of course I really think they should've been on SD! with Rikishi, but what the hell do I know, I'm not a WWE writer afterall.

Back to the show... Christy Hemme's face is the new topic... I can't decide if I want to punch it or skeet all over it :whistle2:k
 
Really cool idea with the 12 month thing. Whoever wins has a year-long gimmick of the "waiting for the right moment".

Christian IS just so damn good at ladder matches.

Kane or Matt Hardy?
 
[quote name='JimmieMac']This is like it's own seperate TV show.

4 Canucks and a Black Guy.
Fox this Fall.[/quote]

I'd watch it if Alfonso Ribeiro was the Black Guy.
 
Damn. Oh well, Kane has a little experience with ladders. After all, he did single-handedly win TLC IV, voted to be the best Raw match of all time at The Raw X special. :roll:

:lol: Please don't sell that to Fox... cuz my gut feeling tells me they'll use it


and it's... Kane

2 more points for the horse.
 
Either JR's commentary was really full of barbs aimed subtly at Edge, or I don't pay much attention to his commentary enough. He seemed to really (and I mean really) lay into Edge.

myke.
...I'm only paying half attention, since I'm playing through Kingdom Hearts CoM.

I noticed that, too.
 
I don't know what was worse, the WM promo featuring Taker or how they actually paraded Lita down the ring (they did look bigger though).
 
Triple H, the clairvoyant, placed roughly 3 dozen sledgehammers under the apron this afternoon, knowing that Bischoff would ban the one he initially had.

"pick your poison"? "money in the bank"? What the fuck, is Vince McMahon best friends with someone who makes a ton of money in the shitty metaphor market?

myke.
...WWE knows how to produce segments; they didn't give the crowd enough time to jeer Lita before Christy's music started up. This all completely overshadows the fact that Christ Hemme is working Wrestlemania. Repeat that a few times, and think about it, will ya?
 
Remember when they wheeled the Iron Sheik down to the ring for that Gimmick Battle Royal and the only reason he won was because if he bumped out of the ring the fall would have killed him?

That's how I feel watching Flair come down to the ring.

as long as he is wrestling, I do not have to worry about him being my governor, so he can parade his old ass around the ring as long as he wants

I heard it too. He mentioned Edge making decisions that would hurt his career and making a lot of enemies. Definitely more than a coincidence given the story with Lita coming out.

The worst part about him talking about being Gov. was he was doing it while naked (this was on John Boy and Billy a few months ago)
 
I definitely agree about JR making subtle comments against Edge. He was being deliberately vague for a little while until The King finally said something about Edge's 'conduct' referring to his title shots and whining character... Nice little poke there. Not as good as the "Edge Speared Lita" sign, though.

Good things about RAW tonight
-6 man ladder match announcement. Nice to see Shelton, Y2j, Benoit, Kane, and Christian weren't totally left to disappear, also gives more
-Good Angle promo. HBK cheesed it up a bit much, but hey, that's what he does. Definitely in agreement about Angle's better work here
-as mentioned, Rosey's sweet if missed second-rope moonsault. I was pretty shocked at that!
-Shelton/Benoit secondary event, VERY NICE IMO. Benoit's suicide dive into the ladder producing a VERY audible "Holy Shit!" chant. Short but still a pretty good clinic.

Bad
-Edge/Y2J match rather boring and too long
-Hassan WM rumor... really hope that isn't true
-Flair/Batista match..yawn. At least it wasn't a typical HHH challenger beatdown
-reminders of the bad stuff about Smackdown
-Orton still sucks. But he got tons of boos mixed in with the pops. Actually, that's kind of interesting, at least, since he'll be the heel of this feud, and I didn't mind RKO as a heel. But eh, whatever.

Good call on the production of Lita's return. The music was "well-timed" for the WWE. What happened to V1, though?? Tell me he didn't end up on Heat!

And c'mon, it's Bischoff's job to be cheesy! I think he's been far more entertaining as the tweener boss.

Overall an okay show, at least there was at least one actually entertaining wrestling match. They're trying to set up future weeks of storylines leading up to Mania. I'm curious about what kind of stuff they have planned for Angle this month, now....
 
So... I watched the 1st hour of raw then i got really really really fucked up, and i'll make a new wrestling topic tomorrow when I'm back to normal. Yes I missed hour 2 of raw, but we all know it's just a build up to the mania, ok I'm out for the night, new topic tomorrow, mods, my friends, just give me 24 hours or so, and all will be well. Later fellas nite nite.
 
To answer severetiredamage's question, no, they have put Matt Hardy back on TV yet. But did anybody else notice the "you screwed matt" chant?

Also it seems that they've already started putting Chris Masters on Heat, cause he had a match last night against a jobber. Which they finally named his finisher, it's called "The Master Lock". God, they need to give him a new finisher, I don't care if it's the F-5, just something that's not a sleeper.
