*** Official RAW Thread - 8th May 2006 ****

[Guest yoyo]

Pretty much what PWInsider said.

 

Raw is shaping up to be good; shame about the steel cage, I just know it's going to involve The Spirit Squad.

There were reports last week about a steel cage but it ended up being a dark match so we'll see.

Uhmm Dave, read the posts from above.

 

Edit #1

 

Is it me or during the opening video package did they tease like the D-X song.

 

Obviosuly not the same tune but kind with the same rhythim.

 

Edit#2

 

Now that the 4 way match is starting I have a hunch. What about if Shelton wins it back thanks to Coach interfering. We all know that he's beign re-packaged as a manager so what better way than to help his afro-american buddy Shelton.

CAR F'N LITO IS ON MY TV SCREEN!!! AND SO IS MATT STRIKER! IN A VEST!! Best. Raw. Since. Last. Week. For. Something. Of. A. Similiar. Manner.

 

Oh yeah, the beginning. I loved Cena's Vince, I mean, Mr. McMahon pose. Triple H's response to Mr. McMahon asking if he expects him to give him another title shot ("uh, yeah") was also great. Nice tease for RVD/Cena too as they were walking up the ramp.

 

As for the Fatal 4 Way, suprised RVD retained, as I'd expect they'd want to get the title off of him, but whatever. The match itself just seemed meh. Nothing too special. Nice finish though.

 

Stupid Eugene, coming out to attack YOUR teacher, Matt Striker. HAHAHAHA! CAR F'N LITO showed both of them who the top dog w/ afro is!! Lifting flatliner for Striker!! BACKCRACKER for Eugene! CAR F'N LITO rules.

 

OH MY FREAKIN' GOD OF HARDCORE IT'S TOMMY DREAMER. TOMMY DREAMER. DREAMER. TOMMY. OH MY GOD. HARDCORE MATCH. BOOBS. SINGAPORE CANE. BARBED WIRE. MICK FOLEY. DREAMER. GROIN. BARBED WIRE.

 

I think you get the idea.

How come nobody liked Kane in that See no Evil crap when about a month ago they were saying how great he was?

 

Vince, we have memories you know!

 

Eh?

[Guest Craig]

Well I think it's clear to everyone that now Edge AND Mick Foley are joining the new D-Generation X.

He's Baa-ack!

 

Foley vs. Dreamer at ONS II? Hell YEAH!!!

[Guest Dave7g]

What a waste of time that hardcore match was, what a huge letdown, and theres nothing at all left on the show worth a crap.

 

Mickie vs Maria, Kane vs Show and HBK and Cena vs Spirit Squad.

 

Particularly poor Raw again.

I was more confused and stunned by the match than anything else.....but I marked out when Dreamer came out, and was still marking out when Foley gave the bat to Edge........and this WILL get Foley heel heat, as will his obligatory "Why Mick, Why?" promo next week.

[Guest Craig]

I cannot believe that a fan that Mickie James SHOCKINGLY knew ran in the ring. What a coincedience.

 

It's Armando, Alejandro, Estrrrrrrrrrrrada, and he presents to jus, UUUUUUUUUUUUUmaga. I'm lking this Umaga character more and more. Being with Estrrrrrrada helps him out a great deal too. Just wish he would get a new finisher other than hitting someone in the head with his thumb.

[Guest Dave7g]

It was just a letdown, the match was advertised as a big deal, but it was just...nothing. The crowd have been dead all night, so they didn't help the situation.

 

Now more Umaga nothingness...I don't think I can last the whole show. And I was looking forward to it a lot.

[Guest Inno]

Estrada rocks as much as Umaga sucks.

 

Foley desperately needs a "cane Dewey" or "Anti Hardcore" style promo next week.

Just to get you pumped about Show/Kane

5 -- BIG SHOW vs. KANE

 

The opening minutes had all the grace of Al Gore wrestling John Kerry. Kane reversed a Big Show chokeslam attempt into a DDT. Show went for a big boot, but Kane came up short. It showed light. Ross said, "This has not been a pretty match." That's why we love Ross. He finds a way to call it for what it is. Show went for an eye gouge at 7:00. Kane blocked it and poked Show in the eye. Kane then kicked Show to the floor. The lights went out and turned red. A voice said, "May 19th. You know what happened on that date. May 19th. It's happening again." Ross said, "We don't know where the voice is coming from." Kane flailed around in the ring in a panic, trying to cover his ears. Show brought a chair into the ring. The lights were still all red. Kane screamed in agony. Show KO'd Kane with a chairshot. The lights went bright again and the voices stopped. At least Ross didn't say those were the voices in Kane's head we were hearing. Show just walked away from the ring. Kane sat up and began laughing. Lawler said Show knocked Kane's lights back on.

 

WINNER: No decision in 10:00.

 

STAR RATING: Neg. * - That was a brutal match. The lack of an kind of a finish cemented it entering negative star territory.

Thank you made me want to watch it now :P

[Guest Inno]

Note to Big Show: You shouldn't really be doing hammerlock reversals when you have the turning circle of a medium sized oil tanker.

Why must you continue to only point out the negatives of the show? And if it's all a negative to you, why in the hell do you watch it?

[Nimf 324]

Really can't believe I got up especially to watch Edge/Foley... I don't mind being a zombie if it's for a decent reason but that was thoroughly lame...

[Guest Inno]

Holy **** - it's a sad reflection when Kane & the Show put on the best display of Technical wrestling seen on Raw in weeks...

 

Right up until SPORTZ-ENTERTAINMENT FINISH and CHAIR-A-MANIA anyway.

But did you see the mask on the Tron, So that means it has something to do with his old mask.

 

Maybe the return of the mask ?

 

Edit - Kane + Mask gimmick = SMOKING :P

Because this has been a terrible show so far, where are the positives?

 

After Joeys awesomeness last week, I thought something good would happen, and it didn't.

 

I'm sure you enjoyed Benoit/Angle in that last match did you? The interference of Kanes mask was a first though.

 

They better wheel out DX to save the show, or a huge ECW beatdown, I do see HBK turning on Cena though...
