[quote name='Brak']Good.[/QUOTE]

Looks like one win followed by three months of pushing him as the kind of guy who would cry if a bully kicked sand in his face didn't get Marella over as expected.

Go get yer Russian tights, Boris, and come on back to OVW.
 
Ah. Cena vs. Lashley at Great American Bash.

...

Time to change the channel.
 
Me - "Well give Val credit, at least he has a job still."
My friend - "He's probably having sex with Pat Patterson."

I really wish I'd never told him about those youtube shoot interviews.
 
[quote name='guyver2077']so kennedy is ready allready?[/quote]

Apparently not. I wanted to see Jeff beat Orton to start the show, oh well.

Furthermore, I hope Sandman buries Carlito for good, spitting that beer in Carlito's face was definitely "cool".
 
Tuning in late, i thought that whoever won the matches became the #1 contender, so naturally when Super Crazy won in seconds I did a double take.

I think that would be kinda funny though. Super Crazy with the title.
 
So... did Lashley turn heel, or is this going to be another crappy face vs face match-up? Lashley should turn heel, and then use someone like The Coach to be his manager. Coach is really fucking annoying, so he'd be perfect for generating heel heat.

Then, Regal can just replace Coach as the Raw "GM" or whatever they call the position. IMO, Regal is PERFECT for that role. Remember when he was commish? Either way, more Regal is a good thing. Although, I must admit the mark in me thought Regal was going to come out and demand a title shot at first, and I was kind of sad to find that wasn't the case.

Probably going to be a shitty face vs. face matchup. Either way, it's going to be craptastic. Trips will be back for Summerslam, and the sooner he is back the better, IMO.
 
Well, I just got back from the Impact Tapings and I must say you guys will enjoy the shows! My voice is shot......which tells ya how good the shows were. Without giving away spoilers...im just going to say KURT ANGLE is GOD and you must bow down to him! Look for me on both shows wearing a black carnage shirt bowing to Angle whenever he came out lol! Now to watch some tivoed RAW!

I read about that on the dirt sheets today. Apparently Triple H is no longer pushing to face Orton when he returns. He feels that would ruin Orton's push. Instead he wants to see Orton elevated and given the win over Cena. Triple's logic is the fans are turning on Cena (gee, ya just figured that out?) and that having Cena chase the belt might get fans behind him again. Ultimately he wants to face Orton down the line. Although that news bit didn't say if he wanted to face Orton for the belt or not. I'm sure a part of the H's would still like to get his WM match against Orton for the title.

SD & ECW spoilers are also online now, for those interested.

Furthermore, here's a listing of matches for the GAB following the spoilers from SD & ECW:

Confirmed:
Cena vs Lashley
Edge vs Kane
Nitro vs CM Punk
Khali vs Batista (should be a train wreck)

Unconfirmed:
Matt Hardy vs MVP (I'm hoping this happens)
Orton vs Cody Runnels
The return of Rey Mysterio

I don't like the idea of Kane just jobbing to Edge, but nice to see him back in the title picture, despite the fact he'll never win. I'd imagine Umaga will need an opponent, as will Booker T, Mr. Kennedy, possibly Londrick vs Cade&Murdoch and then Finlay and Flair, who could just face each other as they did on SD. I'd imagine Carlito and Sandman won't make the card. That could leave poor Jeff Hardy out, so much for his I/C title push.

I'd imagine Booker T and Mr. Kennedy will continue to be pushed, so if they do get GAB matches, they'll probably both get wins. Logic suggests putting them together to win the tag titles while the Lashley/Cena feud runs its course.
 
[quote name='Matt Young']Nice... Any chance you could post non spoiler match listings?

Oh, and I added you on MySpace.[/quote]

Np bro!

Team 3D vs AJ/Daniels vs LAX (the orlando crowd turned on 3d hard!)

Gail Kim vs Traci vs Mrs Jackie Moore (great match)

Senshi vs Cowboy James Storm (Senshi is soooo fluid in the ring)

Triple Threat match for Ult X qualifer Kaz vs Havok vs Matt Bentley (forgot his "Raven" name lol) (worse match of the night)

Abyss vs Lance Hoyt (fun match)

Black Machismo vs Petey Williams (decent pop for jay)

Joe, Team 3D, Angle vs Rude, AJ, Christian, Tomko (the reason why Angle is GOD!)

Overall, like I said earlier....it was such a great show, we are going back in a few weeks for Victory Road!
 
Okay... who's up for some Hard Gay vs The Esperanza? Well here it is below.

Raw was awesome tonight...even with Mr Kennedy getting bitched out all night! I loved the Sheldon/Lashley ending and the spear on Cena might get me to actaully cheer for Mr Linsey
 
I was totally expecting Kennedy to lose, but not THAT fast. I figured he would've wasted several minutes talking, then SC would get the pin.

Can't wait for HHH to return, and I too am hoping that Regal goes back to being commish. I loved that era, so to see him back in charge brought back good memories.
 
[quote name='tangytangerine']Did I hear the crowd do a camel toe chant at the beginning of Raw? If so, wtf?[/quote]

Yep. Cena called Kennedy Mr. Cameltoe.
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']Yep. Cena called Kennedy Mr. Cameltoe.[/QUOTE]

Oh my. Really?


I mean, really? Evidently, the WWE writing staff dined at a local "Hooters" and eavesdropped on the clientele there before writing Monday's show.

Something about calling someone "Cameltoe" on tv makes me think that WWE isn't 100% committed to getting more upscale advertisers.

There were at least two or three other quips, which were equally as corny. None of them got as huge of a pop than "Mr. Cameltoe", however.

The only one that was passable was Mr. Kenny G.

That was the corniest I've ever seen Cena.
 
The piped in "ECW" chants during the Nitro/Punk match from their ppv were funny. I guess they didn't want the "We want Benoit" chants to be heard.
 
[quote name='Punk_Raven']How can you tell when chants are piped in? Sometiems it's hard to tell.[/quote]

Its usually only used when they want to give a fake reaction to someone who doesn't get one (Rob Conway lol). I watched the orginal match and Im 99.9% sure they didn't chant "ECW" during the start. The crowd actually was pissed off and booing both wrestlers because Benoit wasn't there. I understand why of course the WWE piped over them....but it still was funny to hear.
 
Speaking of piping in chants, Goldberg is a good example. I remember going to a WCW PPV back around 99-00 in St. Louis. The match was Goldberg vs Sting. Just about the whole arena was booing Goldberg, but my friend who ordered the PPV hear nothing but "Goldberg" chants.

Actually I think it was more along the lines of the reaction Cena was getting a few months ago when it was mainly all boos and just a few cheers.

Did anyone catch the radio show that RVD is supposed to be talking on tonight?

http://www.AM570Radio.com/main.html

I have 56k and can't listen to it, I wonder what he'll say?
 
Since I didn't get Vengance I was wondering if the Comentary changed... I wonder if it also will for the DVD? Over all a fine ECW tonight. Seeing the Punk/Nitro MAtch from Vengance make me want the GAB a little.

Yep thats why it was a silence during Nitro's entrance. I believe Tazz was explaining that Benoit couldn't make it because of a family emergency. fucked up stuff right there

They didn't.

It was a "we want benoit" chant.

I figured as much. and yes very messed up situation. I still wonder if they will silence it out on the DVD of the show. fucked up indeed. Thanks for the heads up.

With sports entertainers dropping like flies, it's hard to believe that death hasn't already tapped these wrestling superstars out.

Maxim Online, Jun 2007

jake_the_snake.jpg

Jake "the Snake" Roberts
Age: 52
Odds that he'll die before 2008: 1 to 1
Why he should be dead: Twenty-plus years of power slams and suplexes weren't enough punishment for Jake the Snake, so he went and got himself turnbuckled by crack and alcohol. Now he's off the substances and into the Bible, so even if he dies soon, it's cool.
How he'll die: We picture Jake going down for the big sleep at home alone, where his snake will consume his lifeless husk in one jaw-stretching gulp. Sad, but appropriate.

ultimate_warrior.jpg
The Ultimate Warrior
Age: 48
Odds that he'll die before 2008: 20 to 1
Why he should be dead: For the better part of the late '90s, we actually thought the Warrior (his legal name since 1993) was dead. His disappearance from the ring sparked countless rumors of his demise, but the man once known as Jim "Justice" Hellwig is still alive and delivering rant-filled speeches to directionless college kids all over the country. The clip proves his brain is mostly dead, so his (probably) steroid-riddled body can't be far behind.
How he'll die: Years spent screaming at the top of his lungs and tying off his joints to make his veins pop result in an explosive brain aneurysm during one of The Warrior's tirades.

iron_sheik.jpg
The Iron Sheik
Age: 67
Odds that he'll die before 2008: 5 to 1
Why he should be dead: As Howard Stern fans already know, the Sheik has a bit of a drinking problem, along with a volatile temper that makes Ron Artest look like John Stockton…in short shorts. Plus, we're pretty sure there's nothing but tumors underneath that mustache.
How he'll die: We're guessing bear attack. It's a long shot, but given the unlikely circumstances that have taken the lives of other professional wrestlers, it's not entirely unreasonable.

ric_flair.jpg
Ric Flair
Age: 58
Odds that he'll die before 2008: 8 to 1
Why he should be dead: We were shocked to find out that Nature Boy was born in 1949 rather than the late 1800s. It's obvious that he still has all the style and charisma that made him a legend, but he's also spent more time in the sun than the pyramids. Skin isn't supposed to be bright orange, unless it's on top of a delicious bowl of macaroni and cheese.
How he'll die: Flair will tragically choke to death in a feather boa accident. During the autopsy, doctors will find that his skin was replaced with that of a beanbag around 1989.

dusty_rhodes.jpg
Dusty Rhodes
Age: 62
Odds that he'll die before 2008: 10 to 1
Why he should be dead: Even when Dusty was in his prime, his man boobs suggested that the American Dream spent as much time with Bit-O-Honeys as he did with barbells. Now that he has no reason to exercise, he has a regular seat in every rib joint south of Delaware.
How he'll die: Can you overdose on barbecue sauce? If anyone can find out, it'll be Dusty.

Maxim Online, Jun 2007

snuka.jpg

Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka
Age: 64
Odds that he'll die before 2008: 20 to 1
Why he should be dead: Superfly spent the majority of his life doing belly flops onto burly dudes from 15 feet out. That can't be good for vital organs.
How he'll die: Amazingly, Jimmy still makes his way to the ring from time to time, and he doesn't look half bad. We picture him retiring to his birth country of Fiji, where he'll die old, enjoying a drink with a tiny umbrella. Then he'll drift off toward the big white light, where he'll meet up with the Big Boss Man and Koko B. Ware's parrot.

road_warrior_animal.jpg
Road Warrior Animal
Age: 47
Odds that he'll die before 2008: 10 to 1
Why he should be dead: Since his partner Hawk died back in 2003, Animal has been a shell of the Mohawked man he once was. He's since tried to fill the void left in the Legion of Doom, but no one has been able to pack the spiky shoulder pads like his old pal.
How he'll die: Did we mention before that he wears shoulder pads with huge metal spikes on them? If one of those were to end up jammed in his brain, we would be sad, but in no way surprised.

terry_funk.jpg
Terry Funk
Age: 62
Odds that he'll die before 2008: 2 to 1
Why he should be dead: Terry's career started in 1965, before just about everyone on staff here was even born. Since then, he's been choked, slammed, and choke-slammed more times than the remaining WWE combined.
How he'll die: By now it has become obvious to us that pain and abuse are the only things keeping Funk alive. His end will come on vacation, when no one hits him with a furnishing the entire week and he dies of boredom.

mick_foley.jpg
Mick Foley
Age: 42
Odds that he'll die before 2008: 3 to 1
Why he should be dead: Our fondest memories of Mick involve him being beaten within an inch of his life with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, which, as most doctors will tell you, is not the ticket to a long and healthy life. The only reason we set his odds of survival better than Terry Funk's is because he's a full 20 years younger. That just gives him more time to think of things with which he can batter himself about the head.
How he'll die: Something tells us that Mick's death will be preceded immediately by him saying, "I'm sure it'll be fine if you hit me with your car."

Million_dollar_man.jpg
Ted DiBiase
Age: 53
Odds that he'll die before 2008: 10 to 1
Why he should be dead: We're not going to come right out and say that the Million Dollar Man ever did cocaine, but can you name one other activity common to millionaires in the 1980s? We didn't think so.
How he'll die: Caviar poisoning. 'Cause, you know, that's what rich guys eat.

Someone should probably be shot for this article.
 
That match was sick, although I was hoping Daniels and Styles would win.

And now I have a reason to dislike Lance Hoyt even more. I have to commend him for actually delivering his promo. If I were him, I'd be too flustered from having a massive erection.
