- Triple H & Batista vs. Rob Van Dam & Kane.

 

Will we see a Jeff Hardy run-in and possibly add a jobber to the HHH stable?

[Guest nikowwf]

Erm...actually, I have no idea who Jeff Richards is. What I was thinking of was... Jeff Hardy and Stevie Richards...umm...I'll shut up now before I say the dreaded 's' word.

 

- WWE Women's Champion Victoria vs. Trish Stratus in a Chicago Street Fight.

 

Okay, Victoria is my fave diva (due to her valet and her gimmick)...but geez, MUST we see her fight Trish agayne?!?!

 

Will we see a Jeff Hardy run-in and possibly add a jobber to the HHH stable?

 

I hope he does interfere, causing RVD to lose......but that's IT. No joining HHH.

[Guest Justwitty]

Ok...WWE. When I mentioned earlier about Kane joined Triple H's side and said it would be "RAW~"...that was sarcasm. Surely you know about such an emotion. I mean, even you guys can't be so brain dead that you would make Batista and Kane a tag team, right? RIGHT?!

 

Gerwitz: "Wrong!" (said with a comic book bubble)

 

Actually, I don't think they ARE that brain dead. If Kane turns tonight, he'd probably turn after the match which would separate the RVD/Kane storyline from Triple H's. OR...this could all be a set-up for Triple H/Batista/Randy Orton vs. Kane/RVD/Steiner at No Way Out. (think about it, two potential six man tag matches as the co-main events. Not necessarily good matches but a subtle way of RAW and Smackdown competeting with each other)

 

EDIT: Yuna, my mistake. I forgot your love of Hardy and Richards. I guess on name alone, I can guess your favorite SNL castmember.

[Yuna_Firerose 0]

which would separate the RVD/Kane storyline from Triple H's

 

Personally, I think that's a good thing. And, I don't watch SNL.

[Guest geniusMoment]

Instead of watching the crap that is raw tonight I will rewatch Wrestlepalooza 1997. The sequence from the final Raven and Tommy battle into the on and off light entrances of RVD, Sabu and jerry Lawler into the great chair beatdown into the entrance of Taz into the Taz-Sabu rematch into the Taz-Douglas match is my favorite ECW sequence ever.

[Guest Brian]

What if RVD turns and ends up the lost member.

[Guest Justwitty]

You know, that could be an interesting twist. I don't like RVD being inserted as a second fiddle but he would be part of the centerpiece of RAW and it would him put directly in line for some matches with Booker, Goldust, and any other new faces to come up. (Even a returning Austin) It could freshen up his character. The downside is that it would potentially kill all of his heat. That's a pretty big downside and I personally hope they turn Kane before they turn RVD. (Although, I would laugh if what happened in the Alliance happened here where Rob would get all the face chants and became the most over of them all.)

[Guest Jobber of the Week]

I dunno, guys. I'm kind of getting that gut feeling I used to get in the mark days. I think tonight might be a good show.

 

I hope it's a good show.

[Guest Angle-plex]

Actually, even if RVD got face heat while he was a heel, at least it would give the group SOME heat. Orton gets very little, Batista doesn't get any, and Triple H only occasionally does. Plus, the new stable needs a midcard type character, so RVD could fit in nicely.

 

So Kane will most likely turn tonight.

Aside from all this stable talk, I'm just HOPING Stevie and Hurricane continue whatever feud they have going.

[Guest Human Fly]

Aside from all this stable talk, I'm just HOPING Stevie and Hurricane continue whatever feud they have going.

 

"Who can be the bigger jobber?" or We're being used to build up a feud for the women's title?"

[Yuna_Firerose 0]

Jobbers....yeah....well, at least they're *entertaining* jobbers. Which is more than I, or anyone else, can say for HHH. A middle-weight match will always be better than the heavyweights.

[Guest The Last Free Voice]

all I'm exited about tonite is another O'Haire video.

[Guest Human Fly]

Jobbers....yeah....well, at least they're *entertaining* jobbers.

 

No argument from me. I'd much rather see Stevie or Hurricane in a higher role then any of the other current MEs.

 

Hurricane was doomed when they brought him over to win the tag titles with Kane to put Kane over as a singles wrestler.

[Guest The Old Me]

I wish they'd just push the hell out of Orton, have him be the mid card heel stable guy.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

"Triple H & Batista vs. RVD & Kane"

 

NOOOOOOOOO

 

It's another one of those rare "RVD is the best worker in the match" matches!!!

 

DAMN THE WWE AND THEIR SHITTY MAIN EVENT SCENE ON RAW!!!!

[Guest tpww7]

Does anyone know when Randy Orton will be cleared to work again?

[Guest The Amazing Rando]

geezus...I'm a 130 lbs and I'm probably a better worker than half of the RAW roster...

[Guest jester]

"Triple H & Batista vs. RVD & Kane"

Let's review:

 

RVD joins the stable because "I can't beat HHH, I might as well join him", effectively burying him further?

 

Kane joins the stable because "I can't beat HHH, I might as well join him," doing little to his heat one way or another because of how Kate Vick screwed him up?

 

Stable beatdown that never really gets avenged because nobody is allowed to get the better of HHH?

 

Or Steiner run-in just to add erase the remaining 1% of the 99% certainty that the match will suck ass?

[Guest The Amazing Rando]

if RVD ever goes heel again...I want him in the "loner" role...disrespecting everyone....kinda like a tweener...but feuding against faces...

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

I think the Steiner one will happen. Possibly with Jeff Hardy coming in and beating up RVD for no reason.

[Guest Lord of The Curry]

- WWE Women's Champion Victoria vs. Trish Stratus in a Chicago Street Fight.

Prediction: Jazz returns tonight, costing Trish the title.

[Guest The Last Free Voice]

that still wouldnt make people care. Sadly. They have some talent in the womens division. They just don't care enough to use it. [plus marks don't care either.]

[Guest Angle-plex]

Since Jeff is a heel, will JR still orgasm and call him "the risktaker" ever time he does one of his lame spots?

[Guest The Old Me]

Does anyone know when Randy Orton will be cleared to work again?

I think he's 97% this week.

[Guest jester]

I think the Steiner one will happen. Possibly with Jeff Hardy coming in and beating up RVD for no reason.

Me too. And they'll probably work towards a vague face alliance to stave off the whhhorsemen, or whatever they end up calling them.

 

It's not like they can have Steiner wrestle alone, so he has to be regulated to run-ins. They are so going to need a gimmick match or something for HHH/Steiner 2 at No Way Out.

[Guest Lord of The Curry]

So what O'Haire promo will we get tonight? So far he's preached about The Government, being unfaithful and religion. Who's going down next?

[Guest The Amazing Rando]

At No Way Out...

 

HHH vs. Stiener

 

in a special first ever...

 

WHO HAS THE BETTER PINKY TOE MATCH~!
