why is that so funny? Its kinda stupid. Everybody is doing it! I heard tom cruise called oprah and rick rolled her! ( I just made that up. But come on, you believed it!)
 
I guess Vince is used to people answering the phone quicker, seeing as the guy actually picked it up the first time.

There's other people in the womans division apart from Beth Pheonix and Mickie James right ? Sometimes it seems not.
 
[quote name='Genocidal']I hate the general internet.[/quote]


No doubt. Just when I thought that shit died.

Give me "What?" chants over the dumbass Rick Roll anyday.

BTW, remember when Mickie James was certifiably insane? I kind of miss that. At the very least I wish she had better entrance music. The cheerleader theme is weak.
 
[quote name='jman619']Whats the point of the codes or whatever? I wasn't able to watch the first part of raw so I'm lost.[/QUOTE]

Vince asks for the "code" when he calls you. Which BTW is WWE Universe.
 
[quote name='Sporadic']They should have at least had a new code with every call or had the person answer trivia questions or something.[/quote]


Meh, WWE fucks up anything involving a code. Just ask Chris Jericho.

[quote name='Demolition Man']Naw. We're just keeping the thread interesting during an mostly boring RAW.[/quote]

i sadly must inform you all i DID NOT win my 250k sadly i will not be getting my chain gang hottie tattoo. which disappoints me. and i know all of you by proxy, have faith my children theres always next week.
 
Vince getting Rick Roll'd was easily the highlight of this show, which was far too wrestling-lean for my liking. The main events were good, but not particularly memorable. They did an okay job at building up the Night of Champions PPV, but nothing they did tonight for Cena-HHH made me care about seeing that match happen again - especially with HHH burying Cena on commentary. I am looking forward to seeing who DiBiase picks as his partner though, but not enough to warrant purchasing the PPV.

With that said, this show was an absolute blast to watch. The calls were amusing thanks to the winners either going nuts (like the guy who said "OH SHIIT!", leading to some great back-and-forth from J.R. and the King), or because Vince kept things pretty lively with light-hearted comments.

Jericho's heel turn was fantastic - I loved the callback to WM XIX with the low blow/faux-hug/shove down, and Jericho looking on the HD tron with a great sense of accomplishment on his face as he saw HBK writhing in pain on the mat as a result of his handywork.

Quotes -
Vince - I can’t believe I’m about to give away a million dollars of my own money - I MUST BE CRAZY! The password is… WWE UNIVERSE! If I call and you say WWE Universe, YOU WIN! Right after our first match, I’m gonna give away $200,000!
Lawler - IT’S MONEY NIGHT RAW! MONEY! MONEY! MONEY!
(after a neck Breaker)Lawler - That’s a move Birchill calls fittingly enough, Twisted Sister.
J.R. - HOLY DEE SNIDER!
Vince gets Rick Rolled on voice mail… twice
J.R. - ANSWER THE PHONE, YOU IDIOT!
J.R. - Beth Phoenix actually competed on the mens’ wrestling team in high school.
Lawler - Really!?
J.R. - Yes, she’s an amazing athlete.
Vince - Here to help me give some money away…Charlie Haas! (fans boo) Hold your applause, please. What would happen if I misdialed? I think I did… Charlie, you’re bringing us a little bad luck. Modern technology…I’ve got a crack staff… Charlie, this is not your home number, I hope. You know you’re not eligible - you know that. (fan - BOOOORRRRINGG, fans boo) IT’S BUSY! Whoever that is, sorry your grandmom just called. From eprize - LET’S HERE IT FOR GABE! Charlie, I’m gonna let you dial. Here we go. Charlie, if you kiss a diva, I’ll give Donna $100,000. If you kiss another, I’ll throw in 25 more… (Mae comes out and envelopes him)
Ron - DAMN!
JBL - NONE OF YA DESERVE ANY MONEY FROM MR. MCMAHON, but John Cena deserves everything I’m about to give him!
J.R. - When John Cena was 8 years old, he dreamed of being WWE Champion and made his own belt. He finally achieved that goal, but lost it due to an injury in October of last year. He’s come back at the Royal Rumble and been in the hunt ever since.
HHH - That sounds nice, J.R., and makes a great story, but to me, it doesn’t mean CRAP! I didn’t make a belt out of tin-foil, but I wanted to be WWE Champion more than anything else. You know, I’ve come back from injuries too, including TWO TORN QUADS!
Lawler - That wasn’t Vince’s daughter, Stephanie, was it?
J.R. - No, employees aren’t eligible, dammit!
Jericho - It might seem like my next guest has been on the highlight reel many times over the past few months, and he has, because he inspired me to get into wrestling and has been a constant inspiration for me. I’m proud to call him my friend, ladies and gentlemen - SHAWN MICHAELS! HBK, I wanna thank you for coming on the highlight reel - it looks like you’re still feeling the effects of the stretcher match at ONS. Even though you lost that match, they still love ya!
HBK - I appreciate the kind words, but do you have a question in all this?
Jericho - Yes, the fans love you no matter what you do. Like, for example, feigning a knee injury for a month, lying to me, lying to Batista.
HBK - I said I’d do whatever it took to win - I didn’t like to Batista or the people, the only person I lied to was…you.
Jericho - When you finally admitted the truth, you got cheered more than ever… (fans cheer) I’m adored by the fans as well, but not even I can get away with that, and when I pointed it out, I got booed. Whenever I do the right thing, like telling the truth, not hitting you or JBL with a chair, it seems odd that the fans will cheer you and boo an honest man with just a chant of HBK! So that brings us to my question - How does HBK, one of the greatest ever, turn into such a lying, cheating, pathetic little worm of a human being!? (HBK beats him up, then Jericho hits a low blow and shoves him down, just like WM XIX) You wanna lie to me? This is what you gotta deal with. THE WORST IS YET TO COME! (he shoves HBK into the Jeritron)
J.R. - It looks like he got some glass from the Jeritron in his eye.
Vince - Before we give away lots more money, we’re gonna have WWE’s version of American Idol with Jillian Hall and Trevor Murdoch.
Murdoch - Take the money and run… COME ON, VINCE!
Jillian - Oh my gosh, it’s so horrible! Let’s give these people here what they came for now, okay? THEY CAME HERE TO HEAR ME SING! (she sings)
Lawler - Oh lord….
Vince - Somewhere, dogs are barking across the United States… Hello, you’re watching WWE Raw, and you saw the singing contest?
J.R. - Sorry…
Vince - I’d say it was worth about… $2 of my money. Congratulations, you have won TWO DOLLARS OF MY MONEY! Speaking of 2s, now we’re gonna give away $200,000. I best Sara wishes she was the second caller instead of the first. Joshua, you have just won $200,000!
Joshua - OH SHIT!
Lawler - My reaction exactly!
J.R. - Holy…
Lawler - Joshua Smith of Long Island, Mississippi won $200,00
J.R. - Where the hell is that?
Lawler - I don’t know, but I bet he’s one of the richest men there.
Lawler - Did he say he’s giving away $51,998?
J.R. - Sure did, Jerome.
J.R. - I felt bad for ya John, when, earlier, HHH cut your legs out from under you.
J.R. - Jeff Hardy taken down firm and hard!
 
A couple of spoilers for upcoming episodes of Impact...

Shawn Daivari is announced as the captain of Team International for the World X Cup. Joining Daivari on Team International is CMLL and PWG's Alex Koslov, who defeated Team TNA's Curry Man.

Team TNA's Motor City Machine Guns defeated Team Japan's Masato Yoshino & Naruki Doi, representing Dragon Gate. Said to be an excellent showcase for the two teams.

Samoa Joe defeated Kaz. Booker came out following the match and talked trash, setting up a match between the two at Victory Road.

Kurt Angle put a bounty on Karen's head if any of the Knockouts took her out. During Kurt's rematch with AJ Styles (Lumberjack Match), Awesome Kong came out and Awesome Bombed Karen Angle.

Robert Roode & James Storm defeated LAX to win the TNA Tag Team Championships. Moments later, the match was restarted thanks to Storm's loaded boot and Hector's begging. LAX won the belts back but got beat down by Roode with a chair.

THANK GOD FOR THE WORLD X CUP.

I suspect it's Cody Rhodes, but this may be one of those "Lex Luger is joining the Million Dollar Corporation" things where the swerve turns out to be Tatanka joining (or, in this case, Hardcore Holly siding with DiBiase).
 
Raw was so bad and boring, I mean fake million dollar giveaways(I guess WWE thought that rick roll thing would be funny) and just more of the same type of crap that includes matches and the same ole people on TV(HHH,HBK,CENA,JBL).I'd give this raw a one out of five rating,total garbage.
 
I love how when everyone was called they weren't excited at all. Makes me think it was rigged. If I won 500 bucks I'd be excited. Money won is twice as sweet as money earned.
 
Random bit of trivia - Ted DiBiase Sr. helped to create the WWF Intercontinental Title. He was the original holder of the WWF North American Championship, and lost to then-WWF South American Champion Pat Patterson to unify the belts.

The more you know...
 
[quote name='mykevermin']After seeing tonight's show, would you buy a ticket to see Raw live in your town next week?[/QUOTE]

Nope
 
DiBiase was also the North American champion of Mid-South, where he was so hot as a heel that he had to be smuggled out of shows in the trunks of the wrestlers' cars to avoid being killed by fans.

mykevermin, I also expect Cody to be Ted's choice, but I'm looking forward to it a lot because those two have good chemistry together, and I like the dynamic of a second-gen stable forming as a result of this.

Huh? I thought Patterson was given the first IC title and the WWWF made up a story about him winning a tourney in Rio de Janeiro.
 
I did not win any money tonight, but thought what little wrestling there was was decent, and a good if a little late Highlight Reel to solidify the Jericho/HBK feud. I'm hoping they'll throw a Jericho/HBK ladder match into the mix for the IC title, since it would be great for Jericho to possibly win against HBK in the match that made him famous for the very same belt (ahh..back when the IC title meant something)



Other random observations:

1.Cryme Tyme seems to have improved from their first stint, only thing i really saw go wrong in the match was JTG's short jump off the top. Although i dont like Shad's finisher being the STO-ish move, seems odd for such a big guy, plus i prefer Elijah Burke's more sudden version of it

2.Paul Burchill continues his growing collection of lame ass finishers with his neckbreaker, and also, has he even had a full length match since his return to TV, or have they all been extended squashes or abbreviated ones like his match with Kennedy tonight?

Ted DiBiase's Wiki Page] World Wrestling Federation (First run said:
[4] On June 19, 1979, he lost the North American Championship to Pat Patterson who would unify the title with the South American Championship and became the first-ever WWF Intercontinental Champion.[5][6]

[quote name='http://www.wwe.com:80/inside/titlehistory/intercontinental/322358']Pat Patterson
Sept. 15, 1979 - April 21, 1980

WWE Hall of Famer Pat Patterson defeated Ted DiBiase for the newly-created WWE North American Championship. Patterson then went to Rio De Janeiro in September 1979, where he defended the title in a tournament. He then unified his title with the South American Championship, thus becoming the first-ever Intercontinental Champion.[/QUOTE]

Whether or not Patterson ever actually went to Rio is anyone's guess. ;)

Too great to not post. UFC 85, piledriver. Awesome.
 
Why does everyone keep saying Vince was Rick Roll'd like it was intentional? It was merely a ringback tone. Also, no way is the giveaway fake. The potential legal ramifications for WWE would be massive.

Another thing I don't get- How would DiBiase choose Rhodes as his partner? DiBiase has to choose a partner for the match against Rhodes and Holly. The only way Rhodes could be his partner would be if it were a handicap match with DiBiase winning and then giving one half of the titles to Rhodes, which would be horrible.

I know it's not fake, just peoples reaction were terrible. Also, the person winning $2 got fucked over badly. I would hangup immediately.

They reported on WWE.com that she is also getting a trip to New York so I'm sure that the $2 thing was a really bad gag designed for TV/laughs.

- edit
The dark match for Raw was Lance Cade vs. Brian Danielson (yes, that Brian Danielson). Cade came out first with full intro and Danielson came out after and was announced from Oakland. The crowd was really into this match and it was a good 12 minute back and forth match. It looked like Cade was going to win, but Danielson got him into the Cattle Mutilation and Cade tapped out which was a welcome surprise. Danielson looked really good in the match and the crowd was behind him (most likely due to that fact that he was in his "hometown.")

What the fuck?!? I guess WWE is on the hunt again after the success they've had with CM Punk.

Holy Crap, that's my old finisher from my Backyard Wrestling days! Only, I executed the move a tad safer.
 
okay. i just attended that fucking terrible raw in oakland, and here's some of my personal notes:

- while waiting to get in the arena, umaga and ron killings were outside taking pictures. people were shouting "ELIJAH BURKE!" really thinking that was him. hahaha, that's fucked up.

- the dark match with danielson aka american fuckin' dragon getting the win over lance cade was pretty cool. i was surprised to see him there, until lilian announced him as being from oakland. naturally he got a huge pop, and unfortunately not because he's the american fuckin' dragon. my friends and i tried starting a "DRAGON" chant, but everyone chanted "OAKLAND" instead. yes, his name is oakland. he had a lot of good offense, and we got to see a roaring elbow. eventually put down cade with the cattle mutilation. such a sick submission.

- i'm not sure how it sounded on tv, but a lot of the crowd pretty much booed the money segments. rightfully so.

- super crazy came out and did the whole kiss cam thing. i got all excited cuz i thought he was gonna have a match.

- when charlie haas was on stage, i yelled out "CHARLIE HAAS? WHERE HAS HE BEEN?" to which someone yelled out in reply "WHO THE fuck IS CHARLIE HAAS?"

- some reports so far have listed cryme tyme as having one of the hugest crowd reactions. i would say that this is fairly accurate. after all, we were in oakland.

- the dark match main event was jbl/snitsky/umaga vs. trips/cena/hardy. nothing really exciting. the heels worked over jeff, cena gets hot tag to clean house, trips pedigrees snitsy, which gets followed up by a swanton and an stfu for the win. i'm guessing this is next weeks televised main event. i hope not.

- one of the biggest let downs was the fact that this event was billed as being two monday night raws. we were supposed to get the live televised one, and then supposedly they were to be taping next week's monday night raw. why, i have no idea. aren't they in australia next week? but yeah, this shit was all over the radio, we got e-mail notices about it, it was advertised on the arena's website... and in the end it turns out we only got this one shitty raw. i honestly was tolerating the whole sweepstakes thing and the mediocre matches, cuz i was thinking we'd be getting another program at least.

DAMN.
 
[quote name='kristianator']why, i have no idea. aren't they in australia next[/QUOTE]

I'm pretty sure the Australian tour is only for Smackdown/ECW

WWE.com has listed next week's Raw from Salt Lake City.
