Thank god. Christian. Hopefully he gives us something.

Why doesn't Val just mule kick Masters in the nuts. Jesh.

THIS IS SO 1998. END THIS RAW

LOOOL! IT'S A FULL NELSON!

GOD. This Raw just gets better as we go.

They must of had a fight in the crowd because you could hear the crowd yelling at something, and then they started chanting "nah nah nah", etc.

Did they cut the crowd's noise off? LOOOL.

Triple H's beard does need to go.

We already saw this fucking video package. This Raw has been lousy.

Stupid.

They already did this on the Highlight Reel.

Random: Why does HHH have to have a yearly HIAC at the EXACT same time? May 2002: Beats Jericho. June 2003: Beats Nash. June 2004: Beats HBK. June 2005: vs. Batista. Gawd.

This will be good.

I agree, product placement was really bad in this movie. I actually thought they were going to go somewhere near the end about all the McDonald's food, but it was basically a character simply to plug it and that was kind of stupid. You had everyone. McDonald's, Sprite, Lays, Reebok, I don't even remember what else.

Another funny Lillian moment was when the Heart Throbs debuted. Something like this on RAW: "Their opponents...Antonio annnnnnnnnnd....idontknowwhathisname ROMEO" Something like that. She literally mumbles it. It's funny as hell.

They cut it out on the DVD, but you can hear the crowd reaction when he does it. I don't remember it though I saw the PPV live on TV.

.

Ah yes. I'd forgotten all about that one. Was it on purpose cause if not that's funny as hell. Another HHH gem: In case you have forgotten, let me just tell you who in the hell I am. Or whatever he said. Edit: Another one...back after Royal Rumble 2005, JBL showed up on the big screen cutting a promo on Batista and HHH goes: "Listen up you Fog Horn Leg Horn." I died laughing.

I suppose we should wait for Meltzer before we get out of shape over it.

That's what the main problem of the show is going to be. The ending of it. That's why I don't think they're going to end it until the show gets cancelled.

The comment about John Cena not being a good WWE champion is totally uncalled for. Everything he's had to deal with the past few weeks, he's done a great job with it. The SHIT load of apperances he's done and the amount of pressure. Hell, even the bladejob he did on the PPV. And the fact when he won the belt at Mania 21, he wasn't even given the accolades like Batista. I think he's holding up just fine.

When you see guys on Raw and Smackdown show up on each other shows, it was cool at first. You could even tell during the Rumble this year that the fans were into the competition. But ast you guys said, everyone knows Smackdown and Raw are both one in the same basically. They need to make two different organizations, not brands. That's what's going to kill it if they do it. They aren't like the original, and they make it like it's one big company. Don't have the bullshit 'Raw Rewind' and 'Smackdown Rebound' or whatever stupid shit they do. Have one WWE Champion. One WWE Tag Team Champion. Stuff like that, because people don't even know who are the champions anymore (Does Mick Foley on Raw in 2001 in Boston ring a bell?) Having one WWE show on Monday Nights would FORCE the writing team to have better shows, to use talent more wisely and more effectively. No one would be able to control the show as much. It would give a TON of guys an opportunity to go to ECW and do stuff there. All the cruiserweights, have the hardcore wrestling, maybe even some of the big names that would want to go do ECW. Look at Benoit, he'd probably be perfect if they did this because he's done everything he wanted to and when it comes right too it, he just wants to wrestle and go balls out. More opportunity for the guys that need the atmosphere of an ECW to make their way up. More opportunity for guys from OVW to not just be shoved and lost into the mix of the WWE when they could go somewhere like ECW, show off their skills, make a name, and see what happens from there. They have the roster to do it. They have the staff to do it. They have the money to do it. They have the popularity to do it. They have the marketing and production to do it. The only problem would be is this WWE/ECW would be they would need to get more TV. I know they've got some 1 hour show on USA but whatever. That's a recap show anyways. When wrestling was going, they had the Monday Night Wars (which I really doubt will happen anytime soon), and there was at least 10 hours of wrestling on prime time/late night TV weekly. Though the business is down, they could definately afford more than the 5 hours of TV they'll only have come this fall. And especially since Smackdown is now completely worthless now.

Well, Smackdown is on Friday Nights. So yeah.

We all know about the show on June 12th and whether or not the WWE can relive the special feel of ECW. Vince's promo on RAW clearly foreshadowed and hinted to that ECW is possibly being resurrected after One Night Stand. We clearly know that WCW lone, gone, and buried after 2001. But ECW has seemed to always stay popular, and Vince has known that for the longest time and is just recently making money off of it with the DVD, and now PPV and going all out with it. And he knows more than anyone that one main reason that wrestling is the way it is today is because there is no compeition, and the Raw vs. Smackdown thing isn't just belivable. So I lurk the question. Will Vince go all out and start the ECW brand up, possibly before the end of the year? And especially after the situation with UPN, could it be possible he'll just can Smackdown all together? I mean, the Rock IS gone. Move all ECW guys on the ECW Friday Night show, and move all WWE guys to Raw or some thing. I think if you look at it like this. If the ECW gets a buyrate on rate with other WWE PPVs, and considering the sales of all the merch. and the fact pro wrestling needs major compeition, Vince would be STUPID not to pull the trigger on this right now. Everyone was happy that Vince bought WCW cause they knew he'd do something with it when in fact he didn't. He bought ECW and didn't do much with it either, but it's still popular and he knows he can't bury it. What originally killed ECW was Heyman's mismanagement and lack of funds, as well as having no TV. With Vince being a marketing powerhouse, as well as having plently of money to do it up right, who knows. The thing that would kill ECW coming back is if it's not like the original style. Heyman would still have to run it. You'd still have to have ECW rules and all kinds of crazy ring styles. Discuss away.

I think there's more of an issue of wrestlers not knowing how to protect other wrestlers instead of not doing spots. Cause the moonsault to the outside...people have been doing that for 10 years. Curious thought...anyone know if they stopped the show?
