*Raw Taping Spoilers*

[Guest The Mighty Damaramu]

Yes guys these are definetly real. I was there. This guy has got a lot of things wrong and he has a lot of stuff out of order.

 

-First Bischoff never took JR to the ring. They did it at the announce table.

 

-Scott Steiner didn't cut an in ring promo. He did it in the back.

 

-There were about 15,000 people there.

 

-They left out the fact that there was a minute long match with Hurricane beating Nowinski with the Shining Wizard when Maven distracted him.

 

-The Rosey and Jamal breakup was teased right after there match, not later.

 

-He left out the fact that there was a segment where RVD gave Kane Hungry Hungry Hippos for Christmas and Kane got all sad and left. RVD told him we were the hippos and the balls were obstacles in life that block your chi or something. Everyone was going "OHHHHHHH" for RVD like he was some kinda puppy. RVD's reaction "Man I knew i should've gone with shoots and ladders!" was hilarious though.

 

-And like I said he got a lot of stuff out of order.

 

-Man was this guy even there!? He seems way off base with a lot of things! What a fool.

 

I know those are small details but......anyways.....I don't think that match will be televised. It seemed like a treat for the OK crowd and man it got the crowd hot. They were going crazy, it was like Rock/Hogan only with less people. Hell the Dudleyz got crazy pops. I think it was just that we had to sit through that atrocious show so they were waiting for something to pop for and this was it.

Oh and I gotta hand it to HHH. His reaction to Steiner beating him was priceless. He was winning and then Steiner smiled and started to beat HHH. HHH went crazy grabbing the table and putting his whole body into it. Steiner beat him. Then when HHH went back for another go he got beaten like 10 times very very fast. I've never seen him job so much!

 

It was a fun show if you were there, but will suck on TV.

[Guest MarvinisaLunatic]

Maybe next week Steiner and HHH will have a contest to see who can make the most "I have a big dick" innuendos.

 

And if SD is worse than this episode of Raw it would have to dive into the so bad it is funny region.

Hmm. Well, Angle vs Big Show with an obvious Brock/Benoit run-in, more leading up to the Dawn/Al Wilson wedding the following week (*live* ugh..)..Bill Demott's required squash match, the required Holiday themed "Dawn and Torrie wrestle in a pool of stuff (Egg Nog?) match"..

 

I dunno.

[Guest the pinjockey]

Right now I think it is so bad it is sad, because they actually think they are writing solid TV and it is killing the product. But get worse than BAH GAWD PUPPIES scoring a W and you my friend have already killed the product so the rest is funny, there is no sadness at the loss of a product.

[Guest Will Scarlet]

the required Holiday themed "Dawn and Torrie wrestle in a pool of stuff (Egg Nog?) match"..

 

I believe Smackdown airs after Christmas, though seeing Al Wilson stripped down to his boxers and being pushed into a vat of egg nog would be pretty bad. Not as bad as Raw, but pretty bad.

[Guest the pinjockey]

Maybe Al can pop out of his boxers like Torrie popped out of her top during the gravy bowl match. That would put it in the top three worst segments ever.

[Guest geniusMoment]

God damn this raw sucks. Why the fuck do they have to call the womens match a "santas little helper match", I guess vince felt the need to demean all the ladies again.

by the way has anyone seen the ghost tape that roddy piper put up on his site. Its the tape he sent WCW in 1999 that he said would save the company, he said its now online. I tried to find it on his site and couldn't, I figure it could be worth a laugh.

It's there but you just have to pay $$$ to see it, like 5 bucks I think.

[Guest FeArHaVoC]

Damnit bps21!!!

 

I told you Jericho was only used as Bitch Boy last week!

 

Also, If Austin doesn't come back to Raw, then I bet HBK wins the Rumble and he goes on to WM against Triple H.

 

At least Bischoff on Commentary should be Entertaining.

[Guest eirejmcmahon]

My sympathies to anyone who had actually planned to watch Raw on Monday anyway.

 

Seriously, can't you guys find anything better to do with your time Christmas week ?

[Guest HartFan86]

He left out the fact that there was a segment where RVD gave Kane Hungry Hungry Hippos for Christmas and Kane got all sad and left. RVD told him we were the hippos and the balls were obstacles in life that block your chi or something. Everyone was going "OHHHHHHH" for RVD like he was some kinda puppy. RVD's reaction "Man I knew i should've gone with shoots and ladders!" was hilarious though.

K, I'm watching and taping it now.

[Guest Muzz]

*Reads Raw results.*

 

... Hey, I just learnt I can order NWA:TNA down here. Sweet!

 

I doubt they'd hold a thumb wrestlung match, do you know the chance of tearing a quad during a grueling contest like that?

 

"1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a thimb wa - Ahhhhh!"

[Guest Ash Ketchum]

*reads show*

 

 

 

Wow... can we say 0.1?

[Guest Angle-plex]

*No Comment*

[Guest HartFan86]

I'll take this shit over necrophila any day of the week.

 

Hey, at least it's WRESTLING.

 

 

HHH could come out and talk about how he invented Christmas and how it's now HHHmas.

 

But he doesn't, so yay.

[Guest Kinetic]

I already planned on watching football, but at least I know I won't be missing anything worth seeing.

[Guest Mattdotcom]

Has anyone noticed what's going on here? Blame HHH all you like. Sure, I do it too. It's fun. But these results reveal who the real cancer to the WWE is, who the biggest backstage politician is, who the absolute lowest human being on the entire roster is, and whose ego will not only ruin a show, but destroy the ratings.

 

JIM ROSS

 

Think about it...

 

Exhibit A: J.R. hypes Regal and Storm as the "best tag team in the WWE" for months. No one knows why, as they just cheat and beat jobbers and don't really deserve the credit yet. I mean, should Vitamin C or BookDust have that moniker? Plus, they're heels. J.R. hates heel, but he respects these two, BAH GAWD. So, after months of J.R.'s hype and the marks buying into his claim, what does J.R. do?

 

He beats the best tag team in the WWE.

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

I think Russo is booking TNA and Raw

[Guest TheyCallMeMark]

Whoa.

[Guest AndrewTS]

I'll tape it. Molly, RVD, HHH being made a bitch, and the like are on it.

 

Besides, this is getting like Russo-era WCW. Raw is the freakin' Plan 9 of wrestling shows!!

[Guest BorneAgain]

Here's some more detailed results:

 

Dark Matches:

1. Brandon Boone? from OKC vs. Hutch? of Houston

By default Hutch is the heel coming from Texas. Match had a very slow build with almost zero interest by the crowd. Hutch wins with a powerbomb.

 

Lita and Coach come out to the announcer's table.

 

No pyro yet but I assume it will be a Heat match.

 

2. Jeff Hardy vs. Steven Richards w/Victoria

Richards won but got busted open during the match and Victoria was hesistant about kissing him.

 

Earl Hebner comes out and the Heat opening pyro commences and it's on with the show...

 

Heat [Airdate: 12/29]

 

1. Maven vs. Nikki? Valentino

Decent match with good bumps taken by Maven who wins with a missle dropkick from the top rope onto the prone Valentino for the 1,2,3.

 

2. Raven vs. Tommy Dreamer

Before the match began, Finkel announced that if Raven was successful he would be allowed back onto Raw. Raven tears off his kilt in the opening minutes of the match and several small ECW chants were audible. Raven wins with a low blow .

 

3. Stamboli vs. Roach?

I never understood how difficult it was to hear the names announced for opening matches until tonite.

Stamboli wins with a springboard flip looking move from the top turnbuckle to pick up the W over Roach.

 

Finkel shills some merchandise and the cannon comes into play shooting out free Booker T stuffed dogs. I bet those sell well. Lillian is then announced and delivers a stirring rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" and it's time for RAW!!!

 

Raw [Airdate: 12/23]

Opening begins with HHH/Steinr re-cap from last week and the intro with pyro sends the OKC crowd of about 9,000 into a frenzy!!!

 

1.RVD and Kane vs. 3 Minute Warning

Kane hits the chokeslam and RVD five star frog splashes the prone member of 3MW (I can't remember who) to pick up the victory. Many Rico Sucks chants were echoed throughout the match. Afterwards, 3MW teased dissension among the ranks when Rosie and Jamal were arguing then they turned their attention onto Rico who eventually calmed everyone down.

 

Backstage Segment:

Eric Bischoff and Chief Morley are talking when Spike Dudley barges in and breaks a lamp. Spike demands retribution for his brothers' loss to Regal/Storm last week and the illegal usage of brass knux. Eric scoffs and instead signs a match of Spike vs. Batista with the added bonus of not allowing any Dudley Boy to interfere otherwise risk suspension.

 

Commercial Break

 

The next segment may or may not air since they did several segments with D'LO throughout Raw.

 

Backstage Segment:

D'lo is in his new "G" gear and talks with Coach about how much OU sucks and teases OSU afilliation. (I'm a student at OU so am fully behind my boys in Crimson and Creme) D'Lo then comments on OU's odds of beating WSU at the Rose Bowl and is quite helish siding with WSU. He debuts his new catchphrase "down with the brown?"

 

JR comes out to the melodious tune of Boomer Sooner played by the Pride Marching Band.

 

This match may or may not air as they did the same match later in the show.

 

2. D'Lo vs. Test w/Stacey Keibler

Many D'LO sucks chants and interaction between D'Lo and Stacey where she slaps him for grabbing hr outside the ring. D'Lo is DQ'd from the match as he throws the referree aside and runs through the audience afterwards to avoid Test. My guess is they will not air this version.

 

Raw Rewind: JR kissing Vince McMahon's ass in his home state of Oklahoma a year ago.

 

Commercial Break

 

Bischoff comes out to the ramp with Chief Morley in tow and announces the new Royal Rumble rules where each brand will have 15 superstars in their brand-specific Rumble match, with the winners facing their respective brand's champion at WMX9. Bischoff then confronts JR and King about choice comments made during the commercial break. Eric rolls the footage of JR mentioning how rude it was to show that disgraceful film in his home state. Bischoff then makes a tag team match for later in the broadcast as means of punishment with Jr/King vs. Bischoff/Morley. Bishoff names several intriguing possibilities for JR and King's replacement in his scolding. Jesse Ventura and Bischoff were the two named.

 

Commercial Break

 

3.Hurricane vs. Nowinski

My sign is shown during this match (the sign is pink and near the back post and reads OU rejected Nowinski) Match had good flow and as Nowinski was mounting the turnbuckle Maven comes out to distract him as Hurricane crotches Mr. Harvard and delivers the Shining Wizard for the pin.

 

Backstage Segment:

HHH is confronted by Coach at his lockerroom door and announces that he will call out Steiner tonite in the ring.

 

4. Batista w/ Flair vs. Spike

Just as you can imagine a total squash by Batista as he powerbombs Spike against the outside railing, which looked incredibly impressive, and two more times in the ring for the mercy pin.

 

Backstage Segment:

Bisch and Morley are talking about the match with them tonite when Storm/Regal come in to offer their services to take on King/Jr tonite. Storm mentions their the only undefeated tag team on raw and want the job. Bisch accepts and urges Regal to use the knux in the match.

 

F-View TV shows the face girls in their dressing room all decked out in santa suits which are very un-santa like. Funny thing is Trish and Jackie talking to one another when a week earlier they were at odds with each other. Ah...the logical gaps.

 

Commercial Break

 

T shirt cannon is back at it again with RVD shirts this time.

 

5. Victoria/Ivory/Molly vs. Trish/Stacey/Jackie

Funniest part of the match was Molly's chosen santa ensemble. She was decked out in a long nightrobe looking santa suit. Trish wins the match but I can't recall who she pinned. The face girls all pose mid-ring to the delight of the male fans while I groan.

 

backstage Segment:

Steiner is asked to comment on the HHH call out. Steiner gladly accepts Hunter's invitation to the ring later.

 

Backstage Segment:

Goldust walks into Jericho's dressing room in search of Booker T and stumbles upon the King of the World who gives another dazzling Flair-esque promo to the Bizarre One. Jercicho mentions that Booker is the one who wont he tag titles as he is the one who got the pin. Jericho succeeds in putting doubt into Goldust's mind.

 

6. Booker T/ Goldust vs. Christian/Y2J for the tag titles

Another stellar match with awesome near falls and many referree decisions. Chris Squared takes the early lead and completes some double team moves early on. Booker T makes the hot tag and cleans house on the Canadian Chris's. Match ends when Jericho gets rolled up by Goldust for the pin and Goldie finds redemption.

 

Backstage Segment:

A humorous display by RVD and Kane in this one. RVD finds Kane in the back and discussed Christmas with him. Kane mentions that he was locked in the basement as a child and tortured squirrels with razor blades as a means of fun. RVD hands Kane a present which is Hungry Hungry Hippos and is saddened by Kane's dismay. Kane mentions that he doesn't like Christmas and walks away. RVD then mutters that he should have gotten him Chutes and Ladders instead.

 

Commercial Break

 

D'lo comes to the ring and calls out Test and wants the winner to take control of Stacey and Test hurries to the ring to accept D'Lo's challenge.

 

7. Test w/Stacey vs. D'Lo

Test defeats D'Lo the same way as their early match and complete the same entire match for the re-do. D'Lo does not escape through the crowd this time. Test wins.

 

A shot of Heritage Park Mall is shown (which is one of the worst malls in OKC) and Santa is shown meeting children. Santa reveals his ugly side and tells a little girl that their is no Santa and tears off the outfit to reveal Sean O'Haire as the deranged psychopathic Santa.

 

Backstage Segment:

 

Flair tries to talk Triple H out of going to the ring and HHH balks and says he is going now.

 

HHH comes out to the ring to berate the OKC fans and makes fun of their vernacular (I'm origianlly from Montana so I am proud to say I have no accent). HHH finally calls out Steiner after pointing out that Scott confronted him last week when HHH wasn't 100% and HHH says he's feeling good and wants to face Steiner. Big Poppa Pump appears and walks into thering to give a verbal lashing to the Champ. HHH proposes they have an arm wrestling match since he doesn't want to have their wrestling match in front of Okies. Poppa Pump and HHH are neck and neck in the contest when HHH throws out his legs and tries to gain unfair leverage against Steiner who is smiling all the while. Steiner pins HHH's arm and HHH goes at it again and is pinned two more times in rapid succession. HHH jumps out of the ring and walks to the back while Steiner says he will become the new heavyweight Champion at RR and says Holla if ya Hear me!!

 

Commercial Break

 

Bischoff and Morley come out to do commentary on the final match of the evening.

 

8. JR/King vs. Storm/Regal

JR again comes out to Boomer Sooner by the OU Band and does nothing the entire match. King helpd his own throughout the beginning but becomes overworked. Regal brings out the knux near the end and gets caught by King and subsequently drops them on the mat. Ross finally sees the knux and goes to hit Regal when he's caught from behind by Storm. King makes the save with help from the Dudley Boyz and JR slams one of the Unamericans (I forget again) with the knux. JR and King get the pin and JR is then hoisted on to the Dudz shoulders for his victory celebration. I believe the cameras go off at this point and te celebration continues with King getting hoisted as well. JR addresses the audience and speaks of his proud Oklahoma heritage. Bubba then mounts the turnbuckle and grans the guy in front of myself's sign which reads Texas Sucks Love Santa to massive applause. The Dudz finally leave the ring to tremendous applause and Lillian thanks us for attending.

 

 

 

Sean O'Haire as insane Santa? WTF?!

[Guest Ravenbomb]

RVD hands Kane a present which is Hungry Hungry Hippos

Now 3H is Subliminaly getting into segments! DAMN YOU, 3H, DAMN YOU!

3H

[Guest Ram]

Xanta Klaus!

[Guest Mole]

RVD hands Kane a present which is Hungry Hungry Hippos

Now 3H is Subliminaly getting into segments! DAMN YOU, 3H, DAMN YOU!

3H

LMAO!!

 

Anyway, Raw looks kind of blah to me. I mean, with all the talent WWE has, they put JR and The King in the main event. That is just dumb.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

...I see where this is going with RVD...

 

It's going to lead to an RVD/Kane match at the PPV.

 

One as the face, one as the heel.

 

Who will be which though...that's the question.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Oh, and by the way...these results for Raw...

 

...they make me wish everyone in the game "Legends of Wrestling 2" were in their prime and alive...and they started up their own federation.

[King Cucaracha 0]

A shot of Heritage Park Mall is shown (which is one of the worst malls in OKC) and Santa is shown meeting children. Santa reveals his ugly side and tells a little girl that their is no Santa and tears off the outfit to reveal Sean O'Haire as the deranged psychopathic Santa.

HA! They're trying to top Xanta Claus! God, it's like WrestleCrap on TV!

 

Seriously, what the fuck are they thinking? Last week's Raw was pretty good, especially for a Raw. Smackdown was great. They can come up with a great angle(no pun intended) on Smackdown, and then they put out this!?! God! Saying that, I'm still gonna watch. It's not as if it'll affect viewers cause I'm in Britain, and actually it should be pretty funny to see how crap it really is! I mean, I bet the JR knux punch on Regal sucks serious ass. The rest sounds pretty funny(e.g so crap it's funny). I mean come on, O'Haire as evil Santa, Steiner beating Triple H in an armwrestling match about 10 times in a minute, RVD finally getting some good lines, Bischoff on commentary, a decent sounding Tag Title Match. Maybe it's not that bad.

 

Oh, and by the way, what's the betting that Raven won his match to get back on Raw cause Batista is running out of 'jobbers' to crush. I can see it next week...oh well, at least we still have Smackdown, home of Tazz, Matt Hardy, Los Guerreros, Kurt Angle, John Cena and Bling Bling Buchanun and the god of wrestling...AL WILSON!

[Guest Will Scarlet]

3.Hurricane vs. Nowinski

My sign is shown during this match (the sign is pink and near the back post and reads OU rejected Nowinski) Match had good flow and as Nowinski was mounting the turnbuckle Maven comes out to distract him as Hurricane crotches Mr. Harvard and delivers the Shining Wizard for the pin.

 

Whoa! The Hurricane actually wins a match?!? Of course, it has be against Nowinski. *sigh*

[Guest Ram]

BAH GAWD PUPPIES vs Un-Americans : Storm takes a hangman's neckbreaker from Jerry. Suplex into a front slam from Jerry, but the execution was terrible and it ended up more like a regular suplex. Jerry tags out to Jim Ross. Throat thrust from Ross. Smell the talent. Cover for a two count. Diving headbutt from Ross, not much elevation. Tag between Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler. BAH GAWD PUPPIES whip Storm into the ropes and hit a double clothesline. Hooks the leg for a close fall. Lance Storm takes the advantage after a i-block-your-punch-you-don't-block-mine routine. Storm tags out to William Regal. Big dropkick by William Regal, who got good elevation. William Regal hits a delayed suplex on Jerry. Tag between William Regal and Lance Storm. Un-Americans whip Jerry into the ropes and hit a double clothesline. Storm hits a dropkick on Jerry Lawler. Flying cross body off the top rope! Even Steamboat would have applauded the execution on that. Tag to William Regal. William Regal snap suplexes Jerry...with authority! ('With authority', trademark G.Monsoon 1986.) Jerry Lawler takes the advantage after a i-block-your-punch-you-don't-block-mine routine. Tag to Jim Ross. Back heel kick from Ross on Regal, missed by miles. Jim Ross moves in for the kill. Here it comes - Brass Knucks. 1....2...3, it's finished. Yuck. DUD.

Overall: 44%

Crowd: 46%

Quality: 41%

Lance -1 over

Regal -1 over

Jerry +3 over

Jim +2 over

 

EWR agrees - this will suck!

[Guest Mattdotcom]

Kane mentions that he was locked in the basement as a child and tortured squirrels with razor blades as a means of fun.

 

Kane's character needs the equivalent of Crisis on Infinite Earths right about one year ago.

[Guest TheyCallMeMark]

Whoa.
