Kurt Angle Mark Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 By Dave Meltzer On Spike TV's video games award show, they are advertising Raw vs. Smackdown matches at the show. There are scheduled to be a first-run Raw vs. Smackdown match between significant names as well as a second match on the show. I believe the high profile match will be taped Tuesday night in San Jose.
Slickster Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 By Dave Meltzer On Spike TV's video games award show, they are advertising Raw vs. Smackdown matches at the show. There are scheduled to be a first-run Raw vs. Smackdown match between significant names as well as a second match on the show. I believe the high profile match will be taped Tuesday night in San Jose. So they're giving away a guaranteed money feud (RAW vs. SD!) for a throwaway segment on an award show. Brilliant.
MillenniumMan831 Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 And to think, I thought it would be HHH and Brock Lesnar there playing Smackdown: HCTP against each other. Right after the F5, HHH would pull Brock's controller plug and win with a Pedigree.
Guest Ghettoman Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 No there not, it's either gonna be something with the two video game franchises or there going to have wrestlers take eachother on in a game. But yeah it's Meltz, so go on as if it were surely true in every way.....
RavishingRickRudo Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 I wouldn't say that Raw vs. Smackdown is "guaranteed money".
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 It's so going to be a match played on Smackdown: HCtP. HHH cheating against Brock would be hilarious.
razazteca Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 Maybe it will be Dudley Boys vs Big Show & Albert playing WM19 on Gamecube. The Road to Wrestlemania makes a pitstop at this pointless award show.

DerangedHermit Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Could it be Raw 2 vs. Smackdown: HCTP?
Guest The Rising Star Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Is Spike the company that develops Fire Pro Wrestling video games? Do they have a TV-channel as well?
Guest JRE Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Could it be Raw 2 vs. Smackdown: HCTP? No. Raw 2 doesn't get marketed....at all. On heat, it was revealed that Coach and Al Snow will attend the show...
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Is Spike the company that develops Fire Pro Wrestling video games? Do they have a TV-channel as well? I don't know if I should laugh or cry at the stupidity in that statement if the creaters of FPW (IN JAPAN!) have a T.V network called Spike T.V.
tpww7 Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Meltzer just said it will be Rey vs Jericho.
Styles Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Just announced on Wrestling Observer Live: Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho. Tape this Tuesday, airing at the Spike awards.
DangerousDamon Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 OMG, I want to see that match now....... unless of course it's in the video game.... no wait, I STILL would want to see that match....
A Happy Medium Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Have Jericho and Rey ever had a match in WWE? I remember them having a couple of fights in passing last Summer on Smackdown, but other than that, nothing. If it's a real match, I'm so watching that show...or maybe just Tivo-ing it.
Guest JumpinJackFlash Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Why is the WWE advertising this if its coming on during Smackdown?
CanadianChick Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Awesome. I was hoping for Matt Morgan/Batista, but I'll take what I can get.
Guest JMA Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Why does the WWE have to appear on EVERYTHING Spike TV related?
Slayer Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Is Spike the company that develops Fire Pro Wrestling video games? Do they have a TV-channel as well? No, it's Spike Lee's personal TV station Haven't you been paying attention?
Guest JumpinJackFlash Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 QUOTE (The Rising Star @ Nov 30 2003, 08:35 PM) Is Spike the company that develops Fire Pro Wrestling video games?

The Tino Standard Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Why does the WWE have to appear on EVERYTHING Spike TV related? The same reason Mizark Henry keeps appearing WWE television. Viacom invested a ridiculous amount of money in WWE programming, just like the WWE invested a sick amount of money in Mark Henry. Both companies feel the need to try to get blood from the proverbial stones they've purchased, and they're pushing them as much as possible.
DerangedHermit Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Awesome. I was hoping for Matt Morgan/Batista, but I'll take what I can get. I want Nathan Jones/Mark Henry.

I remember them having a couple of fights in passing last Summer on Smackdown, but other than that, nothing. If it's a real match, I'm so watching that show...or maybe just Tivo-ing it. The night Rey debuted was Jericho's last Smackdown. Rey interfered in Jericho's cage match. I do believe.
Guest Megatron Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 I'll bet it's Jericho/Rey playing themselves in a video game match. But shouldn't Booker T be the one on the show since he's always criticized for playing video games backstage?
AndrewTS Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 I'm surprised they didn't do hoss vs. cruiser, because then HCTP's shitty character balance could reflect what happens on TV.
tpww7 Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 The match is real, not a video game, taped at the Smackdown taping.
Mole Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Why does the WWE have to appear on EVERYTHING Spike TV related? The same reason Mizark Henry keeps appearing WWE television. Viacom invested a ridiculous amount of money in WWE programming, just like the WWE invested a sick amount of money in Mark Henry.

Maybe the fact that Raw is the highest rated show on Spike TV and the only show to get in the top 15 for the channel everyweek.
RavishingRickRudo Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 We're also talking about a station that has Star Trek: The Next Generation as 35% of it's programming.
