The One and Only WWE Raw Thread for 1/27/03

[Guest Big McLargeHuge]

The crowd cheers Jericho doing Steiner push-ups.

 

The real Jericho would come out next week and show Steiner in the Walls and take full credit of the beatdown.

[Guest Showstoppa Icon]

ah...time for seinfeld

[Guest Kid Kablam]

did anyone notice how everyone was sitting on their hands during the Walls of Jericho.

[Guest wwF1587]

well despite the desire video.. let the streak continue!

[Guest Choken One]

Why doesn't ABC just have MNB? I'd watch Shaq and Kobe over Hunter and Dave?

[Guest Just call me Dan]

That just telegraphed the finsih of th main event next week. And why did we get the EXACT SAME ENDING to RAW this week as last weeks?

[Guest Human Fly]

Steiner is either getting the title or the burial is on. There is no middle ground.

 

Edit: We also saw all of Steiner's moveset for the match next week.

[Guest Slapnuts00]

naive little fool. Steiner is going to DESTORY Jericho next week and then get squashed by HHH at N.W.O never to be seen again. So, basically yes, in the long run Steiner is getting buried but not before making Jericho look like a fool and main eventing another PPV all for the purpose of making HHH look stronger. Yey.

[NYU 0]

2 hours after Raw ends. Everyone has left the arena, including Steiner, with only a blood stain left in the ring.

 

RVD - Dude....that fall from the apron to the mat must have knocked me unconscious. Uh....what's this blood stain doing in the ring ? What'd I miss ? Man...maybe one day I can be as great as the almighty Kane or Scott Steiner to make the beatdown save. But until then, I just remain the unpushed Rob....Van......Dam.

 

*Lights turn out as everyone has completely left except for RVD*

[Guest Big McLargeHuge]

Edit: We also saw all of Steiner's moveset for the match next week.

And half of them were done by Jericho.

[Guest packwingfn]

Either way Jericho gets screwed...If he somehow beats Steiner which he wont (Test will interfere)....He jobs to HHH so either way Jerichos screwed

 

I rather have jericho beating test then losing to HHH

[Guest Raven_Effect01]

Well, aside from Jericho locking the Walls of Jericho on Steiner, the Raw creative team for some stupid reason seems to think that re-creating the McMahon-Helmsley Facgime/DX beatdowns every week from 1999-2000 = ratings.

[Guest Big McLargeHuge]

You guys are too pessimistic. Here's what happens:

 

Jericho wins the #1 contendership next week when he beats Steiner with the Walls. Clean.

 

He goes on to face HHH at NWO and beats HIM clean with the Walls.

 

He enters a fued with Booker T or RVD and battles one of the two at WM.

 

Jericho wins the title back at some point, but delivers a promo stating the belt is bullshit and was made solely to stroke HHH's ego and compensate for his small dick.

 

Jericho, RVD, BookDust, Hurricane, Orton and Nowinski all move to Smackdown.

 

Smackdown's ratings increase ten fold. RAW is HHH gets cancelled as he goes over everyone remaining on the roster at least 3 times.

 

HHH is fired. Steph steps down as a writer. And the first case of a person actually shitting dollar bills is reported.

 

Yup. That's how it's gonna end. Yup. No other possible path.

Wishful thinking, unfortunately.

[Yuna_Firerose 0]

Why are they doing away with most of the backstage segments? Seriously, I'd rather listen to Hurricane then Long or whatever his name is. Well, at least Stevie and Victoria got air time.

 

I just thought of this Mattamatic...

 

C1 + C2 = A = O

 

C1-Chris Jericho

 

C2-Christian

 

A-Acting

 

O-Ownage

[Guest geniusMoment]

Well Wrestlepalooza 97 was still good so I am glad I didn't watch raw. I don't need to see some watered down version of RVD, I want to see the RVD that caved Sandmans head in with a Van Daminator during the greatest beat down segment of all time.

[Guest Big McLargeHuge]

Says you. It will happen. Maybe not tomorrow but next week. It HAS to. Vince has to know that HHH is doing no good as the top guy...right?

[Guest Jobber of the Week]

Wow. I was completely wrong in my hunch that this would be a good show.

 

So much for that.

[Guest bcu1979]

Another episode of Triple H pretends he's Ric Flair circa 1989 is in the books and they seem to have accomplised all their goals:

 

- put over Triple H as the star of the show again

- portray Triple H as the smartest wrestler in the company

- make sure everyone knows that HHH's group is just a vehicle to get him over

- put over Shawn Michaels at the expense of younger talent

- keep Booker T in the midcard (jerking the curtain against Jeff Hardy and never seen again)

- bury TE kids (yeah, nothing like spitting in the face of all the fans who watched TE and rooted for John and Matt so you can play some inside jokes. After all, it's their fault Triple H is not over.)

- bury Kane (who wouldn't root for a babyface who runs off like a pussy)

- bury RVD (jobbing clean to the green roid monster Batista. pure bullshit)

- bury Jericho (He could have turned face off the Stacy angle. Or he could have come off like a big heel for not caring. Instead, they make him play the goofy midcard heel again. And boy it really puts over Jericho and Christian to have them get beat up by Michaels in a 2 on 1 situation. I also love how Jericho always gets placed in matches where Triple H wants him to win because he'd rather wrestle Jericho in a match than someone else.)

 

I guess I should be happy Jericho got to come back in the ring at the end so J.R. could hype his ass kicking next week. I thought he had disappeared into that mysterious black hole for midcarders like RVD did after the match.

 

The SOH promos are awesome though. He doesn't even need to wrestle. Just have him cut promos every week. And Jazz's beatdown of Trish was 10 times better than either of HHHoresman's beatdowns of Scott Steiner.

[Guest notJames]

Dude, no offense but...

 

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

I probably wouldn't have been so harsh if you hadn't said Jericho would beat both roid monsters cleanly.

 

Van Dam should have some of that shit that you're smoking.

 

I mean, this is Jericho we're talking about, right? He of the title reign filled with dog-poop and playing errand boy to Vince's heifer? He who was given the rub by both Ausint and the Rock on the same night but was soon quashed by politic's big orange bloated head? Beating both Vince's latest money-sucking experiment and the eventual usurper to his throne, cleanly?

 

Tsk tsk tsk. Turn in your smart mark membership card now before someone inavertantly depantses you like a bloody Steiner.

 

(I kid you, of course)

[Guest deadbeater]

Molly: Damn HHH!!! They took my gimmick!!!

[Guest Big McLargeHuge]

(I kid you, of course)

I thought so.

[Guest Lightning Flik]

IN case anyone was wondering why the hell the HHH Squad is always dominating the end of every RAW show, is cause it all sets up the Steve Austin dominating gimmick he's got.

 

No seriously. Can't you all see Austin coming back and killing the HHH Squad? I can. Yet it won't be till after NWO. Of course.

[Guest TheArchiteck]

I was grinning my ass off when I saw Jazz walk down that ramp.

Pretty good raw this week.

[Guest The Amazing Rando]

all I can say is...

 

 

Wow Big....I can't believe I'm gonna shit dollar bills~!

[Guest AfricanAmerican]

It is a "welcome to the WWE" segment. It was only one shot to wake them up, as opposed to a beatdown.

actually, I think it was more of a "we're gonna have you guys injured so that you can go down to OVW and work on your skills" segment

[Guest MarvinisaLunatic]

RAW wasn't THAT bad..

[Guest Will Scarlet]

It sounds like by sleeping through it, I did not miss much. From the sounds of it, I might as well employ the same strategy next week. Thanks WWE!

[Guest LatinoHeat]

Yeah. I slept through most of this too.
