So where does RAW go from here?

Recommended Posts

The whole Benoit/HHH/HBK thing has to be over for now. Ditto for Orton/Foley.

 

I'm guessing Orton and Benjamin get a feud. Looks like Cade/Tajiri will get one too. Any other ideas?

Heh the Smark in me would say

 

Jericho vs Benoit!

 

but that probably won't happen

 

they will probably string Jericho with Trish and Christian for months.

HHH is on an extend vacation according to several reports, thanks to his new movie deal. RAW truly is the land of milk and honey.

 

We'll surely see

Orton v. Benjamin (already appearing at a few house shows)

HBK v. Benoit

Kane v. Edge some more

& Eugene and Regal v. Flair and Batista (Maybe not, but is there another tag team for the champions to feud with other than Rosey & Hurricane, and we all know how well they've been pushed...)

Orton should be red hot tomorrow night coming off that match with Foley. I don't see why he shouldn't go straight into a feud with Benoit, it can only do his career more good.

 

UYI

yea well it happens when Foley commits suicide to get someone over they go right to the top.

 

alla HHH

I wouldn't mind a Orton/Benoit mini-feud leading to a big RAW show in May since they don't have a PPV. gives Orton something to do now that he's gotten over (with me at least) and lets Benoit squash someone.

 

I can't wait for MixxMaster to say Orton is heatless after this match.

well at least delay it, so that Orton can get the IC belt off him, via Benny

Your point? Orton busted his sorry ass tonight and proved to me that he's serious about what he's in there doing. He can only get better from here.

 

And since when has Foley *not* been killing himself?

Edge is in a real awkward spot. He's not getting the face pops he should and with his "new look and attitude" he could make a good heel, but he may come off as a Triple H wannabe.

 

Figure out a way to turn him heel and let him run with Benoit for a little while.

Makes sense to me. There's got to be a load of possible ways to turn Edge heel, one that doesn't overly align him with Bischoff would be preferable. It's a pretty quick jump up to the main event, but Raw needs another big heel with Kane so utterly shat on and besides, he's much more of a main eventer than Bradshaw, and look what he's doing.

 

Also, Edge has proven he can be carried to ***-**** matches by Angle, so Benoit should be able to get some good title matches out of him.

*prays for his Benoit / Jericho world title match to happen

 

Edit:

I don't see why he shouldn't go straight into a feud with Benoit,

 

 

He's still IC champ.

 

I wouldn't mind really. I was always a mark for champion vs. champion matches.

1) Orton isn't ready to be a ME'er yet. Willing to take a beating does not = ME'er.

 

2) Unless you're having Orton go over (which would be a mistake), you're just going to cut off any momentum Orton gained from the Foley feud.

 

3) He's still IC champ (as already mentioned). You're going to have him go another couple months without defending the belt?

I'm with you on that one, Deon. I'd be quite happy for it to be a Raw main event, ala HHH/HBK in December. The problem is both are faces currently and WWE is not too big on face/face matches. I'd eat it up though.

But that almost certainly means a HHH face turn upon returning. Remember last time he was face? Those were dark days indeed.

I wouldn't mind really. I was always a mark for champion vs. champion matches.

Mistake - if both titles are on the line then whoever wins has both belts, and so theoretically should defend both belts at once. And that means the IC title won't be going back to the midcard anytime soon. You'll get to the point where it has to be given away, like Booker T giving the US belt to Kanyon.

 

If only the world title is on the line and the World champ wins, you've accomplished nothing. If the IC champ wins, you have the same situation outlined above. And if neither belt is on the line and the world champ wins, you've still accomplished nothing. And if the IC champ wins, then he's gonna want a title shot, and so you're back in the same situation.

 

Keep the World and IC divisions separate.

Orton isn't ready for the ME yet. He's reached the crossroads seemingly, but a while with Benjamin would be beneficial rather than facing Benoit and losing.

 

I wouldn't mind Orton and Batista turning on Flair soon, leading to Orton Flair. Flair needs to be a face.

Flair needs to randomly run around the arena and act crazy. Not manage, not wrestle. He can cut other peoples promos for them occasionally. And not in the managerial fashion, but in the "I'm crazy, I think I am this other wrestler, I am going to cut a promo on this other wrestlers opponent" kinda way.

 

In conclusion: Keep Flair very, very, very, very, VERY far away from the ring. He's old. He sucks. The memo has been sent, everyone should realize it by now.

Flair needs to be a face manager, not a face wrestler.

Agreed, but I think that if Flair and Orton worked a program(a short one at that), it would help Orton get more heat(keep doing the legend killer thing) while Flair can get to the face manager aspect with it making sense.........
