Guest bob_barron Report post Posted March 28, 2003 Good. RVD is terrible, as is Kane. It really should have been the Dudleys in this match, considering their history with Morely. Bubba is injured Kahran- that's why they're not on the card Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest THE MIGHTY THOR Report post Posted March 28, 2003 The Duds are stale, they need the break. The only good thing about the RAW tag titles match is the fact that good for nothing Regal won't be stinking up the match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bob_barron Report post Posted March 28, 2003 This is what he said at wwe.com- Not that there’s ever a good time to get injured, but this is the worst possible time. Bubba Ray Dudley wrestled on Monday’s RAW, his first match since March 1, but he’s nowhere near 100 percent, and most importantly, the Dudley Boyz are not on the WrestleMania card. It’s the first WrestleMania they’ve missed since arriving in WWE. Bubba Ray landed on Randy Orton’s foot during a non-televised event in Reading, Pa., at the beginning of this month. “We hit Randy with a double flapjack,” Bubba said. “We’ve done it a million times. … (It’s) a freak accident that can happen at anytime in this sport.” The awkward fall by Orton, followed by Bubba’s fall on to Orton, resulted in a broken foot for Orton, and a serious back problem for Bubba Ray. (It was the Dudley Boyz against Orton and Batista, who was also injured during the match, tearing his triceps.) Bubba’s tenth vertebra is what made contact with Orton’s foot. Tests revealed a bruised spine, two bruised ribs and a slight dislocation of one of his ribs. “Aside from broken ribs, it’s one of the worst injuries I’ve ever had,” Bubba Ray said. Doctors told him that it would take two or three months of absolutely no physical abuse for the injuries to heal. But Bubba, who only took a week off after suffering a severe concussion during the TLC Match on RAW last October, was unwilling to take off much more time than that for this injury. Since the injury, he’s appeared on RAW and at non-televised events, but only in a managerial type role, or to do a “run-in.” – not very much physical contact, but some. Then he wrestled Monday. Backstage before the match, he said, “I’m hoping the injury doesn’t get any worse. I’ll make my decision tonight about how full-time I can be.” In the month that he took off, he said, “It has definitely gotten better. But it still has stayed at a consistent soreness that doesn’t want to go away.” Bubba has been treating the condition with ice, heat and deep-tissue massage. Unfortunately, there isn’t any type of rehabilitation he can do to speed up the recovery. “There’s nothing you can do. It’s a bone bruise,” he said. “You can only wait for it to heal.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bob_barron Report post Posted March 28, 2003 The Duds are stale, they need the break. The only good thing about the RAW tag titles match is the fact that good for nothing Regal won't be stinking up the match. Regal's injury is the worst thing to happen since they had hastily award them to Storm and Morley thus devaluing them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Hamburglar Report post Posted March 28, 2003 If people here are bitching about RVD being stale, and "boring"..yet ignore the Dudleys.. Y'all have something wrong somewhere. Oh hell no. The Dudleyz are just about the only people left more boring than RVD. My nightmare scenario was Dudleyz, RVD/Kane, Three Minute Warning and Morely/Storm in a fourway match. That would actually stand a solid chance of being worse than Taker/Jones vs A-Train/Big Show, although of course not half as funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bob_barron Report post Posted March 28, 2003 The bookers could've made a match with the 2 top teams for the RAW tag titles.But that WCW logic is their way to go. Well they made a match between the two top teams at No Way Out. Bubba and Regal both got hurt so they had to delay the RVD-Kane split I guess. It's not WCW logic it's called- Bad luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest THE MIGHTY THOR Report post Posted March 28, 2003 I wasn't really aware the Raw tag belts meant much anyway. Even if they were the original ones.. Actually to be honest with you, it seems none of the titles mean anything, think about it, this might be Angle's last match ever and he is the WWE champ but his feud with Brock has been overshadowed by Hogan and Vince's match. But the RAW titles(world and tag) are truly worthless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYU 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2003 The only reason RVD has seemed so stale at this point is because he's basically wrestling the same fucking match every week on Raw. Basically, after his match with HBK on Raw, RVD's got nothing, and neither has his fans. If you were to write down a list of RVD's opponents since that day, you'd probably get: 3 Minute Warning (Of course RVD/Kane's archenemies), Lance Storm, William Regal, the Dudleys this past week, Jeff Hardy, and Kane for one week. Nearly all of these matches have been on a team with Kane, which doesn't work for so many reasons. 1. Why is this team together ? Who the fuck knows ? 2. The unlikely tag team would probably seem a lot better and fresher if Booker T and Goldust didn't just spend nearly a year doing it. This is why I think the RVD/Kane thing isn't working out to well. 3. RVD and Kane's styles basically clash too much. 4. THEY HAVE NO ANGLE....AT ALL ! RVD has been given the same opponents for almost 3 months now, and sure, at some point it's going to get really stale. I haven't reached that point yet, but if you're not an RVD fan, I think I can understand. I firmly believe if they put him in say a 2-month feud, WITH A STORY, his whole character would seem fresher. Put him against HHH ( I know, I know ), Jericho, HBK, Booker - any of them. Build a story, and I guarantee RVD will look a whole better and a whole lot fresher. But just to get my opinion in on this matter....it's a crime RVD is not on this card, but a DEBUTING Nathan Jones is. But heh.....I just don't have the genius Vincent K. McMahon does. He DOES know what's best for his company after all, with the whole Vince/Hogan Main Event thing at WrestleMania. Yeah Vince ! SHOW YOUR GENIUS ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted March 28, 2003 I was expressing my disbelief that on a card filled with quality wrestlers, it is RVD that actually decides whether some people watch it. You lack penii. This is bar none the funniest thing I've read all week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
