Guest Big Poppa Popick Report post Posted March 18, 2003 Time for me to join the bandwagon of those people who say theyre never watching raw again... What did it? Jerry's selling of Golddust's angle and referring to Booker many times as criminal Hard sell my ass ANyone feel similarly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Phr33k Report post Posted March 18, 2003 Well, he's the heel announcer... and I am actually enjoying RAW tonight. It's the best show they've had for a long time, in my opinion. Pretty good Rico/Maven match, actual angle development, even HHH seems motivated and BPP didn't suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted March 18, 2003 Watching Quadros and Rutten last night and JR and King tonight is like watching night and day. One was really good and the other was horribly bad (take a wild guess which one is which)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted March 18, 2003 Which isn't to say that RAW was bad - it was ok. But 'hey! this didn't SUCK!" translates into "kick ass" even though the matches weren't very good and the promos weren't very good... Then you gotta raise your standards a lil bit. Just because they didn't do anything bad doesn't make it a great show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted March 18, 2003 bob, you called the show 'kick-ass' I was merely pointing out how little that weighs considering the fact that you think Shane McMahon is a good wrestler. Completely valid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just because they didn't do anything bad doesn't make it a great show. I thought most of the matches were pretty decent. Nothing topped *** but the show seemed to go by really quickly for a change and the crowd was hot. I don't think the show was great but it was an enjoyable show with a great ending Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Completely valid. I don't think he's a good wrestler but I enjoy most of his matches. But back on topic- The show got me hyped for Wrestlemania so it did it's job in that respect. It was just a fun show to watch and I hope they can keep putting out more shows like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Blue Bacchus Report post Posted March 18, 2003 A Solid Good RAW. I can honestly say I enjoyed the HHH/Goldust match. Did someone light a small fire under HHH's ass tonight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted March 18, 2003 decent matches + hot crowd = kickass? (Mack vs. Hurricane wasn't decent, the womens match was booked smart with Jazz walking out but the match itself was tough to watch, the opening tag match was way too short to be meaningful, Test/Pump vs. Jericho/Christian had a smart booked finish but the workers involved - see Test and Pump - didn't do it justice, Goldust vs. HHH was just there ... did I miss anything... Oh yeah, Maven vs. Rico... shit, was there a point to that?) Dude, you said that Shane McMahon was a good wrestler. Fred Durst talking about WM ~ OOOH ~ I wanna buy rite now! The song is no 'My Way'... Shit, it's no 'Linda McMahon WM techno-crap theme' and that says something. Seriously, those montages really suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, if the montages suck, if the wrestlers suck, if the storylines suck - quit watching. Damn, it gets so boring hearing people bitch about the same shit all of the time. Shane McMahon is a good entertainer, what else can we ask for? He makes matches interesting for the non-anal retentive wrestling nerds THUS he gets his job done. All the anal wrestling fans should go into one big room together and watch marathons of Puro because NOTHING else makes them happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SP-1 Report post Posted March 18, 2003 Part of me wanted to mark a little for Hunter hitting the high knee on Goldust (a la HARLEY RACE~! as JR loves to remind us). The show was alright. I was kinda worried when I first tuned in, which was during Rico/Maven. The crowd was kinda dead when I first tuned in, but by the time the ME came around, it was decently hot. But it's not the RAW of old, and THAT is the only way I'll call it kick arse again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bob_barron Report post Posted March 18, 2003 Mack v. Hurricane sucked, Rico v. Maven was 'eh' but I thought all the other matches were pretty decent and Goldust dragged a watchable match out of Triple H. Test/BPP v. Chris-tain was better then I thought it would be and I really enjoyed the ending sequence. The montage with Fred Durst selling Wrestlemania was a nice tough and I really enjoyed the HBK montage- and I HATE HBK so that's saying something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't ask his opinion about anything. Tina Fey IS hot. SHe's a looker and she's funny. Humor can turn a looker into a hottie. Also, while I wouldn't call Shane McMahon a great worker, I will say that he wrestles pretty well for someone with no training, and that he's willing to out bump 80% of the roster.

Honestly, if the montages suck, if the wrestlers suck, if the storylines suck - quit watching. Damn, it gets so boring hearing people bitch about the same shit all of the time. It also gets boring hearing people bitch about bitching. I said Raw was ok - I just pointed out how it wasn't "Kick ass". I pointed out that a lot of things had 'smart booking' but I am not going out of my way to complement a company that doesn't want me as a fan and actively tries to get me to stop watching their product. Shane McMahon is a good entertainer, what else can we ask for? Some people find playing around in their feces to be good entertainment. Just thought I'd point that out. What else can we ask for? I dunno, you seem satisfied with John Cena wrestling so obviously your standards are low. Me, I'd like something good. He makes matches interesting for the non-anal retentive wrestling nerds THUS he gets his job done. And he hogs the spotlight for himself when doing so. He's a glorified backyard wrestler - he pretends to be one - anyone can do what he does and 'entertain' the fans in the same way - it doesn't take any skill to jump off of high places, and I appreciate the skill it takes to perform a good wrestling match without resorting to cheap stunts to pop a crowd. But that's me having standards - and you can't have those because if you do all of a sudden you're "anal-retentive." All the anal wrestling fans should go into one big room together and watch marathons of Puro because NOTHING else makes them happy. Misconception. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I wish to have my face rubbed in feces because I am entertained by Shane McMahon. I am less of a wrestling fan because I like John Cena. I didn't become a wrestling fan for 'the workrate'. It isn't what brought me into wrestling, and I'm sure it isn't what brought 98% of the people on this board into it. Before many got the internet, I'm sure it wasn't a big deal whatsoever. But now everyone is conscious of it. Why can't people just relax, and enjoy it for what it is. Its wrestling, not fricking figure skating where every move is thoroughly examined than graded when its finished. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
