The One and Only Raw Thread for 4/28/03

RAW invades the FleetCenter...

 

RAW is live from the FleetCenter in Boston on Monday night at 9/8 CT on The New TNN.

 

This is WWE's preview...

RAW kicks off this week just one day after Backlash! Feel the fallout live on TNN!

 

We already know that Goldberg will be live at FleetCenter. What will he have to say just 24 hours after his epic match with The Rock?

This and much more goes down Monday on RAW at 9 p.m./8 CT on The New TNN.

 

This is my preview

The WWE completely botched Goldberg's push by letting Rock cut an almost face promo and booking a long match where he was terribly exposed. Will they do what's neccesary to salvage the push? Or do they just kill him for fun...

 

Also, although he got a pop coming out, the fans went completely silent when Nash wrestled cause he couldn't move. Will that stop the WWE from pushing him to a title match next month?

 

Will they get their heads out of their asses and push Booker T and RVD out of fear if nothing else?

 

And will super hot Gail Kim make an appearance?

 

And how many of us will actually be awake as of 10:00 pm tonight?

 

All this and more on Raw.

I'm giddy with anticipation for the eventual Steiner-Test blowoff match.

[Guest Trivia247]

Steiner vs Test........this has been brewing for two months....

 

2 months of building up for this great CLASH of TITANS!!

 

SMELLLLL THE RATINGS!!

 

hehe

 

Poor steiner, not that I liked the big crippled overhyped Roid boy, but he did have such a Illustrious career before this. And he is just a shell of his former self.

[Guest wwF1587]

im not even going to bother with RAW tonight... i may be here to see whats going on in RAW but i dont think I will bother watching the show... HHH/Nash at Judgement Day, FUCK that, there HAS to be something else on tonight

[Guest Dmann2000]

That's the law of The Smarks

 

If you start to suck, no mercy is spared

[Guest oldschoolwrestling]

This show is gonna suck unless they bring back Bradshaw.

[Guest nikowwf]

They don't need suprises today. They need one fantastic mark out moment where you get behind the babyface. Something that makes the face look superstrong, with no reservations so you don't think the heel is getting their heat back so it doesn't even matter. It has to look good to, so no Nash. (super slow motion doesn't cut it) They don't let the faces kick ass lately...

[Guest AndrewTS]

And will super hot Gail Kim make an appearance?

 

I hope so. I'm watching just in hopes for that. Plus I don't expect Raw to be good so I can just hope for it to be funny-sucky tonight.

 

GIVE ME GAIL OR GIVE ME SOME FUNNY WRESTLECRAP!!

 

Considering that Boston is the crowd who crapped on Steiner at the Rumble, I think they'll be brutal to Goldberg.

 

BTW, Goldberg was already heel to the crowd last night even before Rock's promo. Goldberg was booed on the promo video they showed earlier in the night. I think Gillberg last week turned Rocky full face. How can you hate him for bringing us Gillberg?

 

Oh, interesting thing I noted checking out the WWE events calender...

 

The next several events are in Canada, and Judgment Day will be in Charlotte, North Carolina! WHOOOO!!!

 

I don't know just how Canada will react to Goldberg, but I don't think they'll like him. However, I think that because of Flair that HHH will get the pop of the night at JD. Smart man, he is.

 

Gail will likely get huge face pops in Canada, though, natch. I'm expecting her to ally with Trish somehow, maybe try to fued with Jazz while Trish play hurt or something (did Jazz win the belt?).

[Guest NoCalMike]

what was depressing about Backlash is that a lot of the shitty angles ended with the respective pbp guys saying...."this will not be the last of this feud"

 

That leaves me doubting anything good is to come of Raw tonight, and that Smackdown will continue down the shit spiral.

[B. Brian Brunzell 0]

Oh man, RAW sounds like TITS tonight. It's just a tragedy that I have to work.

 

**turns off sarcasm**

[Guest nikowwf]

It kills me how Cena loses, and its "he'll be back, sometime in the FAR OFF FUTURE", but Nash gets leveled and loses and its "NASH WILL BE OUT FOR REVENGE!" sigh...

[Guest nikowwf]

Just had a thought....BY GAWD! IS AUSTIN COMING BACK TONIGHT? BY GAWD!

[Guest AndrewTS]

I wonder how much Clique homoeroticism will be occuring tonight...

[Guest Polish_Rifle]

Things that'll happen tonight:

 

> 20 minute HHH-Nash-HBK lovefest before the first 40 minutes of the show.

> Christian will get his ass kicked by Goldberg

> Hurricane will get his ass kicked by whoever.

> Bischoff will fire someone.

> Rodney Mack's Whiteboy Challenge Part 2

 

I think I'll pass.

[B. Brian Brunzell 0]

Homoeroticism in the Clique? Andrew, GET RIGHT OUT OF TOWN!!!

[Guest Dmann2000]

White Boy Challenge?

 

That's worth it

[Guest nikowwf]

Chris Jericho will be debuting CHRIS JERICHO'S HIGHLIGHT REEL tonight.

 

so sayeth WWE.com

[Guest candie45]

Rock is off again now, isn't he?

[Guest nikowwf]

Yep.

[Guest Zack Malibu]

Last week was the first week in YEARS that I fell asleep during a wrestling show.

 

This week I might do it on purpose.

 

RAW is totally of the suck lately. Goldberg got totally exposed for the fraud he is last night. I don't know how they can milk this one for anything worthwhile.

[Yuna_Firerose 0]

Goldberg...ignoreable. Kliq lovefest......okay, HHH is definetly ignorable. Mack, Jazz, Morley, Dudleyz, ALL ignorable.

 

But no Stevie or Victoria last week?! COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!! I demand to see Psycho-Hotness this week, dammit!

[Guest Will Scarlet]

It looks like Raw is going to be yanked off the air for hockey at some point here in Canada.

 

My hope:

In the first hour, Gail Kim debuts and the White Boy Challenge occurs. I sit and watch it, and at 10 PM, Raw gets yanked for Anaheim/Dallas, and I don't have to watch any more.

 

My reality: TSN will finally show a Tampa Bay Lightning game, where the Devils beat up on the Lightning, thus depressing me. This also causes a Raw delay, where they take out the Kim debut and the White Boy Challenge in Canada to make more time for Triple H and Nash.

 

*sigh*

Jericho highlight reel segment, huh?

 

Let me guess...

 

Part of the highlight reel is his WCW Greenburg stuff... thus bringing out Goldberg... thus starting the feud which will eventually end in Goldberg squashing Jericho. beautiful.

[Guest CanadianChris]

Praise be to TSN for having their priorities straight and showing HOCKEY.

Damn you.

 

I hadn't thought of that yet and was excited about the segment, but that is probably dead on. SHIT SHIT SHIT.

[Guest Trivia247]

Question that plagues me....

 

Who appoints Austin to General Manager position anyway???

 

McMahon gonna put aside the 5 years of On air Anamosity on Austin and give him the keys to the Show?

 

Makes no sense...

 

None

 

Zip!

From Meltz.

 

May be a Spoiler

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Steve Austin returns on the show tonight with last night being Rock's farewell for several months
