Are there AIM chats set up or other forums for RAW now, if so, what are they?

I can't wait till after the show... I have to say it now...

 

BATISTA BEATS BENOIT!

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Ah...Foley announcing that he's going to be on the Iraq Smackdown.

[iliketurtles 0]

Nice time for a debut.

Mohammad Hassan's theme song rules

WHAT AN ACTOR...ACADEMY AWARDS

 

 

...sorry. I had too.

[iliketurtles 0]

I called the Elimination Chamber! Bah.

 

Best of Raw 2004 next week? That will be...

 

Edge has the coolest entrance in wrestling, by the way.

 

Thought the Foley apperance was pretty underwhelming.

[Guest JMA]

Someone really needs to remove Triple H's name from the belt.

You know, I'm actually having a tough time on predicting the order of elimination. I'm pretty sure Jericho's first to go, but other than that....

[Guest Rrrsh]

Did Batista really need to go over Benny? Why couldnt he just pin Jobber Jericho. Everyone knows he aint winning the EC, so make him lose.

I dunno either, but I predict HHH, Batista, Edge, Orton, and Benoit in the final five.

Anybody else here go "Oh shit!" when the EC annoucement was made?

 

Edit: Yes, I'm psyched for the NYR ME.

[Exslade ZX 0]

Because Jericho was not in the world title picture.

 

What would him pinning Jericho have done? Nothing. Him pinning Benoit, meant...he beat one of the championship contenders, which in a way made him one.

Man, the look on Batista's face when it was announced that he would be in the eleimination chamber was priceless.

 

Also, I am really digging heel Maven. They've finally found something for him to do that isn't boring, and he's pretty over as a heel.

[Guest Rrrsh]

Right when Bisch said to Edge it will be something he had never had before, it was quite obvious it was gonna be a EC.

[Guest JMA]

Jericho is definitely getting eliminated first (which really sucks). I'm pretty sure Triple H will win the entire thing just because he seems to like going into WrestleMania as the World Heavyweight Champion.

I agree with both of those

Close--- "aw, shit."

He is in the EC, so he is a Champ contender. And they didnt mention it was a huge Batista win. Hell, they will probably just say that Batista took HHH's pin and not mention who he was pinning.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Personally, if they have changed the plan with HHH as World Champion into Wrestlemania...I'd like for Batista to be the man that eliminates HHH from the match.

Tonight on Raw, I learned the true meaning of the clangy pipes.

[Guest Fook]

I'd mark if they replaced the name plate with a row of question marks.

 

 

So probable New Years Revolution matches:

 

Elimination Chamber

Shelton vs Maven

Christian/Tomko vs Eugene/Regal

Snitsky vs Kane

Trish vs Lita (probably with some kind of gimmick)

Rosie vs Dean

Obligatory Coach match

Obligatory 20 minute diva segment

Some of the meanings were quite offensive, though.

This one?

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

They should have Benoit win and transfer it to Edge at Mania (save Edge's win for the one-on-one match). So of course HHH & Orton will be the final two and this Wrestlemania will be as forgettable as the one that followed X.

[The Czech Republic 0]

Which was most offensive to you?

I liked the other face better. You know which one.

Nice to see the upper deck completely empty out during the brawl at the end of the show.

On: Hassans music. I generally hate the stereotype'd music, but this was funky.

 

On: Hassans promo - it walked the line between rehearsed and natural, but ultimately I thought he pulled it off. Sadly, his pacing invites the what chants, and the general crowd disinterest in the angle really hurts it...

 

Off: Hassan not destroying Foley.

 

Off: Hassan doing the opposite and walking away like a fucking pussy... or typical shit heel.

 

On: The set up. It was obvious, but I never saw it coming.

 

Off: Lita promo.

 

On: Christian promo.

 

On: HHH Golden Globe Nominated Performance... Tender....

 

On: Batistas reaction to Bischoffs match making.

 

Off: Batistas botched clothesline

 

On: The finish to Orton/Edge

 

Off: Orton/Edge. Seriously, learn to work guys.

 

Off: Maven pinning Benjamin

 

Off: Crowd reaction to the Elimination Chamber

 

Off: The E-chamber match. Putting all the eggs in one basket, which means LOTS OF DIVA MATCHES.
