The One And Only Raw Thread for 7/29/02!

[Guest Flyboy]

I love starting these threads, so I'm starting... erm... a day earlier.

 

I'll post the Raw preview in a bit.

WWE.com Raw preview for 7/29/02:

 

RAW preview for July 29

Eric Bischoff bragged at the end of SmackDown! that he knocked out Stephanie McMahon by stealing one of her superstars. Speculation is running wild over who the RAW general manager could have had in his limo last Thursday night. We'll discover the identity of the defector when RAW airs live on TNN at 9 p.m. ET this Monday from Greensboro, N.C.!

 

Also, when Triple H and Shawn Michaels appeared in the ring last week, it appeared that the most dominant faction in WWE history had regrouped. But the Cerebral Assassin turned on his longtime friend unexpectedly. What will happen in the aftermath of this unforeseen betrayal? Find out Monday.

 

Rob Van Dam has no time to relax after unifying the Intercontinental Championship and European Championship by winning a devastating Ladder match over Jeff Hardy. The Whole Dam Show has a tough ask ahead of him as the Rabid Wolverine, Chris Benoit, gets a shot at the IC Championship!

 

All this and more goes down when RAW lights up Greensboro live at 9 p.m. ET this Monday on TNN! Check back here Monday afternoon for more matches as they are announced.

 

Discuss, and stuff!

[Guest Downhome]

Hollywoodmania will run wild on RAW brother!

 

(I figured I'd post in here now, as I am never on the computer when RAW is on, so I always miss out on this thread!)

[Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly]

You guys are getting ridiculous with this now.

[Guest Flyboy]

[Guest Incandenza]

Seriously, this is too damn early.

[Guest Flyboy]

[Guest Flyboy]

Just skipping over Heat hmm

What is this strange show called "Heat" you speak of?

[Guest Nevermortal]

Flyboy, I heard it contains announcers named "Coach" and "D-Lo" and its on Sundays at 7, but I have not sought out this elusive program.

[Guest Nezbyte]

I hope RVD wins and it sets up a many months feud between the whole fucking show, Mr Monday Night and The Crippler.

Hell-fucking-yes.

[Guest jtronx]

No, RVD's going to go over Benoit clean and start a multi-month feud with...

 

...Tajiri, who was in the limo!

[Guest Flyboy]

...Tajiri, who was in the limo!

GODDAMNIT!!

 

For the LAST time, it was Steve Blackman!!

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

Seeing as they are in Greensboro, NC:

 

--I predict Flair will wrestle a match, and win.

--he will get the biggest pop of the night (or else the fans in the arena are idiots)

[Guest thebigjig]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Norman Smiley is the mystery guy

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

You-Guys-are-complete-Morons.

Everyone-knows-Mike-Tyson-is-in-the-Limo.

He's-going-to-join-Shawn-Michaels-at-reform-Degeneration

X-again.

 

Morons......

[Guest Zero_Cool]

Limo guess - Albert..cause he's a hoss, BY GAWD!!

 

RVD/Benoit - An ending which gives the indication of a two-three month long feud.

Double count out.

[Guest The Electrifyer]

I see RVD winning and Benoit giving a vicious beating to him afterwards. Then RVD wants revenge and a feud is made between Benoit and RVD.

[Guest Flyboy]

Yeah, I could see that happening, too.

 

Maybe Benoit slapping on the Crossface for a VERY long time...

[Guest The Electrifyer]

Yeah, Benoit always slaps on the Crossface after a match that he loses, then lots of refs will come out to try and break it but Benoit will continue holding while JR screams at Benoit from the commentating desk. And of course, RVD will be tapping out in the ring, you know same old way the WWE starts a Benoit heel feud.

[Guest The Amazing Rando]

Limo Guess - Farooq (so yet ANOTHER tag team can be on RAW...but not just any tag team...a ...DAMN Hardcore Tag Team!

 

RVD/Benoit - smart answer sees them giving Benoit the IC Title sooner or later...possibly SumSlam...so RVD will win this with the vicious beatdown (Eddy/Benoit on RVD) afterwards...maybe setting up an Eddy/RVD non-title match next week that can see Benoit get involved...

[Guest Shaved Bear]

i hope rvd/benoit gets at least 15 min

[Guest Nezbyte]

i hope rvd/benoit gets at least 15 min

Me too, me too.

[Guest Flyboy]

i hope rvd/benoit gets at least 15 min

Me too.

 

I hope it's the main event.

[Guest Hogan Made Wrestling]

I'm hoping Benoit kicks RVD's ass on the way to a face turn and a main event feud by the fall.
