Guest MideonMark Report post Posted July 21, 2003 Yeah its from 1wrestling.com, which I dont think is the most credible of sources but here you go anyway- The plans are still to hold Jim Ross off of television to sell his “burning” that he received last week by Kane, quite possibly lasting as long as SummerSlam. This means that Jonathan Coachman will fill in doing RAW play-by-play. Nevertheless, many in the company feel that The Coach did not do a very good job last week on RAW and feel that it will be very hard for the company to sell Triple H vs. Goldberg without J.R. in the announcers table, thus, forcing J.R. to return earlier than expected. As I reported a few weeks ago, The Rock said that he would be on RAW tonight in LA and again in two weeks on the show in Vancouver, BC. However, we have now received word that The Rock has not been written into tonight’s show. So an appearance is now looking doubtful, however, anything can change at the last minute. An official announcement is expected later this week to confirm Bill Goldberg vs. Triple H for SummerSlam. The two paired off for the first time ever last night at a RAW brand house show in San Jose. Triple H took the win with help from Evolution members Randy Orton and Ric Flair. Reports from the show indicate that the match look alright, but needed some work to get to PPV quality.

Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted July 21, 2003 I thought the Coach grew into the spot last time he filled in for JR. Quite frankly, I've had enough of JR, so I'm willing to give the Coach a fair shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted July 21, 2003 Coach with Raven was actually a pretty good team. Coach with Lawler is HORRIBLE. Hell, anyone with Lawler is horrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Eagan469 Report post Posted July 21, 2003 Hell, anyone with Lawler is horrible. I always liked Vince and Lawler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted July 21, 2003 Because as the veteran commentator between the two it is understood Lawler would lead the Coach. That alone defines the main problem with those two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted July 21, 2003 Hell, anyone with Lawler is horrible. I always liked Vince and Lawler. Lawler pre-1998 kicked all kinds of ass. His character has really fallen now that he doesn't heel it up anymore. I miss the old King, but it seems like he isn't going to return to that state any time soon.

"OOOOH OOOOOH OOOOOOH BOYAH! YEAH BOOOOOOOOY!" I was like the beta version of John Cena except incredibly annoying. It amazes me just how much people are willing to overrate Shane just because he's not around anymore. He sucked TOO people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You mean where it doesn't matter because only 2500 people show up anyway? No, I mean. Fuck Goldberg worked a house show. I thought that was "way below" his level of celebrity. Not to mention actually jobbing at one. To someone he reportedly hates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted July 22, 2003 Well if he wants to main event SummerSlam he has to get a few prep matches in with HHH beforehand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
