Guest Coffey Report post Posted March 24, 2003 RAW will be live this Monday night at 9/8 CT on The New TNN! Last week, The Rock nearly cost Stone Cold Steve Austin his win over Eric Bischoff. The Rock has shown no respect to Stone Cold in recent weeks, and with WrestleMania XIX coming up on March 30, he's not likely to start now. But the Texas Rattlesnake isn't about to let the People's Champion take the upper hand heading into their clash at SAFECO Field. These two superpowers get one last chance to grab the momentum this Monday on RAW! Booker T and Triple H share an equal amount of hatred between them, making their match at WrestleMania a must-see not just because the World Heavyweight Championship is on the line. This rivalry is personal, and neither wants to suffer a blow to his pride underneath WrestleMania's bright lights. Find out what Booker T and The Game are doing to prepare for their clash during this Monday's episode of RAW. This and much more goes down tonight on RAW at 9/8 CT on The New TNN.

Bored 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2003 Guessing it will be Booker T vs. Flair tonight or the regular pre-PPV main event tag match with Booker/Austin vs. Rock/HHH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2003 Last night on Sunday Night Heat they said it would be Flair/Hunter Vs. Goldust/Booker in a tag match... Now if I only watched Heat. Okay thanks for the info. Hmmm wonder where that leaves Austin and Rock tonight in terms of matches. Probably just a main event interview. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2003 The show is being advertised o nTV as a 'Rock' Concert, so I expect many backstage (if not in ring) segments with Rock playing guitar. I would expect Austin to not wrestle at all (if he does, a Morley / Rico / Jamal / Rosey / A handicap match with any of those squash) and Rock to possibly get his win back over Hurricane in a rematch based on Rock's beatdown last week. HHH/Flair vs Bookdust should end with Goldust or Booker (preferably Booker) pinning Flair or HHH (or Flair) pinning Goldust. The two main guys shouldn't be taking the loss.

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted March 24, 2003 I'm actually looking more forward to the Raw-cky concert more than anything else on the show. I see no mention of it here. If they bait and switch again I'm going to be pissed off. I guess I'll tape it. Nothing besides Rock, Booker, and the slim hopes that Molly will make it on Raw keeps me watching anymore.

Guest Coffey Report post Posted March 24, 2003 At least, according to the RAW commercials, the WWE realizes that The Rock is the ENTIRE show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted March 24, 2003 Week of Wrestlemania and they build it by having Rock stand in the ring and play guitar. Or, maybe Rock can play the guitar and Austin will come out and the two will have a sing along again. Idiots! For some reason Trip/Flair Vs Bookdust sounds good. Triple H didn't look that bad last week. Hopefully he'll be motivated again this week. RVD/Kane Vs Dudleys last minute Mania' match hopefully. I'll be shocked if Jericho/HBK gets more then their normal 2 minute feud build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2003 Maybe Rock will learn a new tune this week. Something with 3MW/Rico and Maven would end up on the show probably, Hurricane probably won't be there to 'sell his injury'. More Goldust hilarity(no, that wasn't sarcasm...I find his gimmick crappily funny.) Another Dudleyz segment...basically your typical Raw. Hopefully the crowd is as hot as last week, really helps the show out. I'm sure nothing special will happen to big up Mania though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted March 24, 2003 I'd rather see one of those guys get beat down, smack up side the head w/ a chair and laid out in their own blood instead of the usual, paint by the numbers comedy. Austin/Rock sing together Austin grabs guitar Austin hits Rock over the head w/ Guitar Austin picks Rocky up Austin stuns Rocky to end show Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted March 24, 2003 These threads should really be started with "One and Only..." in the title. Oh, and... Austin hits Rock over the head w/ Guitar While I like that idea, the guitars they use for weapons probably can't be used to actually play anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted March 24, 2003 These threads should really be started with "One and Only..." in the title. I disagree. I think the date of the show is more important. Thus, I put the date on the top line, and one & only on the second line. One & only wouldn't even be needed if the majority of people weren't ignorant.

Guest notJames Report post Posted March 24, 2003 Oh TAG~! Do you think we'll get the same kind of Rock/Austin confrontation from last year, where there's more humour than drama? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bravesfan Report post Posted March 24, 2003 Do you think we'll get the same kind of Rock/Austin confrontation from last year, where there's more humour than drama? Don't think so. The Austin seen on 3rd Degree last night looked like the determined face from Wrestlemania X7, not the paranoid comedic heel from Survivor Series 2001 (even though I loved both characters.) It's come full circle since SS '01, as Austin is playing the focused babyface, while the Rock is playing the comedic heel. ---- Hopefully, we'll also see the World Tag Title Match be announced for Wrestlemania. IMO, it'll be Morley/Storm vs. RVD/Kane vs. Dudleys, with the Dudleys playing the "insurance role" in the match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2003 Yes even though I know the majority people think Booker already has no chance this Sunday but if he gets the clean pinfall tonight they he REALLY has no chance. Hell I'm almost rooting for HHH to pin Booker tonight as that would be a sign he'll put him over on Sunday...or bury him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bleh the Raw tag division bores me to tears and I don't think they'll have the titles defended at WM XIX with Regal out. Probably just be yet another Dudleys table match for the #1 contendership like anyone cares. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted March 24, 2003 I'm all for Dudleys Vs RVD/Kane. Maybe it's wrong of me, but it seems like everytime RVD is against the Dudleys, he takes a hard bump! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The role reversal was implied, seeing as how Rock has been doing the evil heel stuff as of late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2003 From The Law: "TNN has given the WWE the green light for RAW to run over by half an hour tonight. TSN will also air the full 2 and a half hours of the program. Sportscentre will follow RAW at 11:30 and then the RAW repeat will air from midnight ‘till 2am (it’ll be interesting to see what they chop for the repeat" So, it's not me who is the liar if this is false.

Both TNN and TSN have been warned by WWE to expect RAW to run longer than usual tonight. Usually, RAW runs 5-10 minutes after 11PM ET, but tonight the overrun is expected to run longer. This could indicate that the company has something big planned for the RAW conclusion. Credit: WrestlingObserver.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
