The One and Only RAW Thread for 1/20/03

[Guest geniusMoment]

Outrageous, well that means that there will be a few curse words used, like in WCW after the RussoNwO formed. I can plan out raw easily, since they want to shock people they will probably have the women wrestle in some substance.

[Guest Zack Malibu]

The last time we had televison in Providence, it was a RAW buidling to WM X8. We got heel Jericho vs. heel Angle (thus killing crowd heat) and Austin vs. Mr. Perfect as the main event. Surely tonight's show will be better.

 

Won't it?

[Yuna_Firerose 0]

Yeah, seeing a beer drinking, wife beating hoss is sure to be a mark out moment for all.

[Guest Angle-plex]

RAW comes to you live tonight (9/8 CT on the new TNN).

 

Eric Bischoff has less than one month to make some dramatic changes to RAW and appease his boss, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. Expect the RAW General Manager to do whatever it takes to avoid being fired. What innovative ideas will Bischoff employ? Rumor has it that tonight's episode of RAW could turn into an outrageous show. Tune in to TNN tonight at 9/8 CT to see what tricks Bischoff pulls out!

 

Scott Steiner can not be happy with the outcome of his match against Triple H last night at the Royal Rumble. Steiner picked up a win over The Game, but since he prevailed due to a disqualification, the World Heavyweight Championship didn't fall into his hands. Will Big Poppa Pump continue to chase the championship? Will a new challenger to the title step forward? Find out tonight!

 

The Dudley Boyz are World Tag Team Champions once again. Which tandem will be the first to step up to the new champs? What will happen when Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho step into the same building following their clash during the Royal Rumble Match? Get all the answers tonight on RAW, starting at 9/8 CT on the new TNN! Check back here later today to learn what matches have been announced for the night.

[Guest geniusMoment]

Yuna Austin isn't a hoss.

[Guest The Old Me]

Yeah, seeing a beer drinking, wife beating hoss is sure to be a mark out moment for all.

certainly easier to mark for him than a jobber and a bad actress!

[Guest wwF1587]

I am curious as to how much this "atomic bombshell" is going to blow... If its Kevin Nash.. I may just break my television.... But bischoff said "money is thicker than blood".. leads me to believe that bischoff is going to either

 

completely revamp the set in a wcw way and then have hhh VS steiner II

or

hire either austin or goldberg or some big name to fix things

[Guest geniusMoment]

The bombshell can be only one thing. Danny Doring and Roadkill debut tonight to go after the tag team champs. Yes tonight we get the panty drop elbow from the top rope.

[Guest tetsubeav]

But bischoff said "money is thicker than blood"..

Couldn't that maybe mean he's somehow hired a McMahon? Shane or, god forbid, mamma McMahon?

[Yuna_Firerose 0]

Or perhaps it's "reuniting" "relatives"? E & C comes to mind.

[Guest Zack Malibu]

Things I want to see tonight:

 

Sean O'Haire

Randy Orton

BookDust

 

Things I don't want to see, but know I will:

Triple H go on and on and on

Test vs. Jericho

Michaels getting revenge on Jericho

Kane in some type of major role

Another Triple H/Steiner confrontation

The Batista push of doom

 

Shit. The bad outweighs the good on this one.

[Guest tetsubeav]

Michaels getting revenge on Jericho

You know what's funny? It technically should be Jericho getting revenge on HBK, but you know this is how the WWE would book it. Damn that Jericho for daring to be better than HBK! DAMN HIM!

[Guest The Old Me]

Things I want to see tonight:

 

Sean O'Haire

Randy Orton

BookDust

I too hope they push the shit out of Orton. If done right, I see great things from that kid.

[Guest AlwaysPissedOff]

Ugh... keep Edge away from the black hole that is Christian.

[Guest Showstoppa Icon]

Im going to the Smackdown house show in poughkeepsie 2nite, so when i get home i get to fast forward through all the bs on RAW. Itll end up being the easiest raw to watch of the year for me.

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

If you see a sign that says "HAS BEEN KID" next to a black sign with gold glitter spelling out "GOLDY," my girlfriend and her two friends Skittle and Krista are the holders probably. My girlfriend's the blonde one, if they get on TV...doubtfully...

 

Anyways, I'm watching Raw just to see if I can catch them...

[JN News 0]

Or perhaps it's "reuniting" "relatives"? E & C comes to mind.

Bring Edge to RAW. Edge is one of the few people that can save RAW for me as far as I'm concerned.

[Guest Showstoppa Icon]

let the HHH squashing begin!

[Guest tetsubeav]

See, I don't think that works as the "money thicker than blood" thing would me, to me at least, that it's breaking apart relatives, not bringing them back together.

[Yuna_Firerose 0]

Eddy and Chavo come to mind then...but they're the tag champs, so they can't be split up. Besides them, what other relatives are there on SD, real or storyline?

[Guest Zack Malibu]

Things I want to see tonight:

 

Sean O'Haire

Randy Orton

BookDust

I too hope they push the shit out of Orton. If done right, I see great things from that kid.

Me too. Remember his vignette from the stock exchange? The kid sold the arm after he waved at the camera! You couldn't get guys like Batista to sell Amway for cripes sakes, and Orton sells an everyday gesture! Give this kid the RAW Title now!

[Guest BoboBrazil]

You know it will be something lame. This is the WWE afterall. It will probably be the HHHorsemen.

[Guest packwingfn]

I just wanna fuckin see a suprise...something huge to happen tonight so I can say I saw it in person etc.....

 

ya ill bring a live report tomorrow after my classes...

[Guest packwingfn]

Knowing the WWE, the ATOMIC bombshell will be Randy Orton is 100%, not that I dont mind that, I love Randy and his new character...but still, atomic means HUGE

[Guest AndrewTS]

....

 

"Skittle?"

[Guest packwingfn]

Im stuck with some marks (my uncle and cousins) but we're each holding up a letter in S U C K A so i guess look for that

 

 

And I wonder if they'll destroy the Friendly Tap in my hometown of Cumberland,RI!

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

Considering Tim White hasn't been on TV since he was injured in the Hell in the Cell match at Judgment Day last year, I wouldn't expect any Friendly Tap shenanigans to go down.

 

I say keep pushing Jericho as the heel and Michaels as the face, so when they get to Canada Michaels is booed out of the fucking building despite his face antics. I'd rather see the crowds force Jericho to be turned instead of WWE doing it. Come on, imagine JR trying to say that Michaels is getting a mixed reaction.

[Guest BorneAgain]

The bombshell can be only one thing. Danny Doring and Roadkill debut tonight to go after the tag team champs. Yes tonight we get the panty drop elbow from the top rope.

That or Cyrus showing up anyway.

 

I hope to god this doesn't turn into the Hoss show.

[Guest Jobber of the Week]

I hope to god this doesn't turn into the Hoss show.

Great. You went and jinxed it.

 

Scott Steiner can not be happy with the outcome of his match against Triple H last night at the Royal Rumble. has to be the biggest understatement ever.

[Guest JHawk]

Scott Steiner can not be happy with the outcome of his match against Triple H last night at the Royal Rumble. has to be the biggest understatement ever.

Neither can anybody else, for that matter.

 

Personally, I'm half expecting the return of Bryan "Adam Bomb" Clarke tonight as the "atomic bombshell", just because it would piss us all off.

 

I will be highly pissed if they try to make Jericho look bad after last night since he went longer last night than HBK did in 1995. Granted, it was only 17 seconds, but still.
