RAW Discussion Thread- March 3, 2008 from Indianapolis, IN (#771)

Posted

Tensions continue to boil on the road to WrestleMania XXIV as WWE Superstars invade the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis next Monday night, for the first RAW of March.

 

With his WrestleMania showdown with WBC Welterweight Champion Floyd “Money” Mayweather just weeks away, Big Show is preparing for the high profile matchup. Show will take on a boxer in an exhibition where he will aim to send “Money” – and the world – a message. How will Mayweather react to Big Show’s big statement?

 

John Cena was laid out by Mr. Kennedy’s Mic Check at the end of Raw as Triple H looked on. The Game made no effort to save the Chain Gang Commander, despite their successfully working together to defeat WWE Champion Randy Orton and Kennedy in tag action. Will Cena look for retribution against The Game with their Triple Threat WWE Title Match with Randy Orton five weeks away? And how will the Legend Killer try to protect himself as his title is pursued aggressively by two former WWE Champions?

 

Also, JBL dropped a bombshell on the WWE Chairman, announcing that Hornswoggle was NOT his illegitimate son, and that the lively leprechaun was, in fact, the son of his protector, Finlay. Will the self-made millionaire provide the documentation that Mr. McMahon demanded to settle this chaotic family affair once and for all? And will JBL make Finlay reveal the truth about Hornswoggle, as he promised?

 

The “Nature Boy” and The Showstopper will cross paths at WrestleMania, as WWE Class of 2008 Hall of Famer Ric Flair puts his career on the line to challenge Shawn Michaels at the Grand Daddy of Them All. As WrestleMania approaches, will this matchup of mutual respect change its tune?

 

The field for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania XXIV continues to grow, as Chris Jericho qualified on Raw for a chance at a guaranteed contract for a title match against any world champion. Who else will join Y2J, Jeff Hardy, Shelton Benjamin and Mr. Kennedy?

 

Also announced on RAW, Playboy’s current and past WWE cover models will battle two former and the current WWE Women’s Champions at WrestleMania, as Candice & Maria team up against Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix & Melina in the first-ever BunnyMania. Will the Glamazon look to wear down her competition as the weeks to their match tick down?

 

Meanwhile, the lovely Maria will unveil her Playboy cover on RAW and men everywhere will be drooling. But how will Santino Marella and perhaps Beth Phoenix and Melina react to all this?

 

Join us live as the fireworks fly on The Road to WrestleMania XXIV when Monday Night RAW airs at 9/8 CT on the USA Network.

With all the flack I get on TWO, I thought a disclaimer was in order. Thanks for starting off the RAW thread with an off-topic reply, by the way.

 

Anyways, anyone dare speculate what boxer that Big Show will face? Will it be a legitimate guy or some scrawny guy that is sold as a "champion"? (IE: MVP choosing his opponents sometime last year).

I was hoping for Chris Eubank, if not then maybe Ricky Hatton.

 

Oh and the opponents MVP selected last year were legitamately tough guys who had excelled as Champions of their own Country, i remember the Champion of the Phillipines putting up a very tough fight

Thanks for starting off the RAW thread with an off-topic reply, by the way.

 

No probs....I did apologise for hijacking......Oh sorry wait.....***OFFICIAL***

 

Happy now...? Anyway back to Raw!

what kind of match will HHH Randy Or Cena be in? Anyone know?

If it is a REAL pro boxer it will be some broke journeyman who is desperate for the money to keep his creditors away from the door for another week

 

It will probably be some backstage guy who they claim is a pro boxer however or a local they pick up out of a gym

Looks like your disclaimer even got you some flack. Maybe a rethink is in order.

 

Anyway back to the subject at hand. I think that Nemisis is right Show will probably face another no-name then Mayweather will come down stand on a chair and give him what for. Standard Raw stuff. I will be pleasantly surprised though if something different happens.:greets4:

WWE.com has announced that The Highlight Reel will return on RAW with special guest- Jeff Hardy. Also, they have guaranteed a confrontation between JBL & Finlay. Lastly, they have announced that Big Show's Exhibition Match will kick off the show.
Michaels is teaming up with Flair on Raw tonight, doesn't say who they will face that I can see, but I would lay money on it being Cade and Murdoch

Seriously, who do you think cares enough that you need to put that BS on a thread on a forum talking about Raw?

That is in his signature.
Yes! The return of the highlight reel, been waiting for that. There have been lots of good times on that show
Highlight reel to turn Jericho heel!!!!

We can but dream.

Santino was so awesome in the Maria/Playboy segment.

 

 

Hopefully, after Lawler smacked Santino during the segment, we get another match between the pair soon. I loved their last feud/matches.

Bit of a lousy show and the booking going into Mania is just atrocious to be honest.

 

For the love of God hype up HBK and Flair a bit more, show video packages of Flair's career against the wealth of talent he's faced but then show video packages of HBK at Mania against Bret, Jericho, HHH, Vince, Austin to show that he is the show-stealer and he's faced the best and this is a whole new level up from who Flair's been beating lately.

 

Please have an actual feud for Cena/HHH/Orton to deal with. At the moment it just feels like it's one-upmanship for no real reason. Tell everyone why you want the title so bad. At the moment it just seems like they are doing stuff to fill time, not to further a feud.

 

JBL/Finlay is mildly ok but wonderful culmination to the Hornswoggle-dad storyline and by wonderful I mean awful. Again need far more backstory on this, like how Vince/JBL worked it out, why they did it, Finlay to shed some light etc.

 

Mayweather/Show is failing miserably now too. It started off with one of the hottest angles in the past couple of years and now what are we getting? A stupid refusal to make Mayweather a heel even though every promo he gives, is in the style of one. Where as Big Show hypes it up by having a comedy destruction of a jobber. Yeah that will definitely sell the buys to the boxing fans...

 

The potential is there, but the booking is some of the worst I've ever remembered for a WM. It's like nobody has thought anything through so they just wing it every week. I'm sure the matches will be decent enough but the fact they could make the fans care about them 200% more, to me is very frustrating.

Big Show in a badly worked match with a jobber and passing it off as MMA isn't selling ppv buys, it's just confirming to the Boxing community that the whole thing is indeed a big joke.

 

Jericho and Hardy could have some excellent matches, so I hope they keep it up. Other than that, there was NOTHING on this show.

 

Am I alone in not caring about HHH vs Cena vs Orton so much so that I am happy to not see any angles involving them nor the match itself at mania? The three of them are so GODAMN boring, by the numbers fueds all the time. They need to take a year off and give the guys that are actually over a chance.

I don't see how anyone can care about Cena/HHH/Orton.

 

Bryan Alvarez described this perfectly on the Bryan and Vinny show.

 

It feels like we have seen this main event at 10 Wrestlemania's before.

 

Personally, I don't see how anyone can care about Cena/Orton/HHH. We have seen it all before dammit. I am just dying for Jeff to win MITB and cash it in right after the main event at Wrestlemania, just so we can have something different instead of these three goofs pretending to hate each other.

 

I really enjoyed the Jeff/Jericho and Flair/Michaels segments. I like how simple the Flair/Michaels build is, I don't think it really needs any video packages yet. It is still in the beginning stages.

 

WWE really blew it with BigShow/Mayweather this week. Hopefully they can do something to pull it out of the crapper next week.

 

JBL/Finlay was strange......

 

Santino was funny.

 

Cody and Carlito had a good match that was given time, which is great.

 

I liked Cena kicking Regal out of his office.

JBL raped a leprechaun, right?

 

Mayweather died on his arse with that thing. Hopefully it picks up again with him actually being in the building next week.

 

WWE usually gets a lot better in January or so until Wrestlemania. This year, man, I'm not feeling it.

 

Breaking news - Mayweather is going to break Show's jaw this time because he didn't mention that on Raw at all.......

what kind of match will HHH Randy Or Cena be in? Anyone know?

 

More importantly does Anyone care???

 

I've completely lost faith in DNA testing now we've found out Hornswoggle is really Finlay's son........
