Who would have thought Triple H would open Raw ?

Next you'll tell me he'll take up nearly 20 minutes of out time.

[Stephen Joseph 0]

Even though I know it wont happen, the thought of no triple on my tv leaves me happy.

 

More time for christian!

[iggymcfly 0]

C'mon. Where's the board's collective orgasm?

 

I've heard for months that the show is unwatchable unless HHH leaves. Well, he's leaving!

 

Sure it's only for a few weeks, but shouldn't it make you happy?

[iliketurtles 0]

I fucking love Shawn Daviari. He's the man.

 

Edit: And he takes the Walls LIKE a man.

i demand a magic carpet ride

[SuperJerk 0]

Is there some sort of rule that says that Triple H has to spend the summer having a crappy fued with a former friend? This is the 4th fucking year in a row, and the 3rd to involve a HIAC match.

[Stephen Joseph 0]

I *heart* Christian....

platonically

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

AWA Flashback.

 

Neat.

Me want WWE 24/7, TIme Warner Ohio Cable, you hear me?!

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

I hope Pat Patterson wasn't watching that one.

[NYU 0]

I can't believe they actually got me to find Viscera entertaining.

[DMann2003 0]

Gee if they did this with him 10 years ago he might have been worthy of being KOTR

Does anyone else think there's a 90% chance that Lita's going to cost Kane the tournament when he faces Edge in the finals?

 

That backstage skit kinda makes me think they're headed that way.

Edge isn't winning the finals

Mark Henry, who?

[iliketurtles 0]

Fuck that shit.

 

And holy crap. The Blue Blazer's in the front row.

[iggymcfly 0]

C'mon. Lita helps Benoit win in the semis despite not really liking him. Edge has more heel heat than he's had in his life, just from the Lita situation. We all know where it's going.

[HollywoodSpikeJenkins 0]

I can't believe they are using this tournament as a stepping stone for a Kane/Lita/Edge feud.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Ric Flair has new theme music.

 

Guess they didn't want to pay the royaltieis or something.

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

I am shocked that they are going with Kane/Edge in the finals. The worst possible match in the bunch. At least in the Smackdown tournies they have good finals 90% of the time.

 

Even HBK/Kane wouldn't be that bad, but Edge & Kane have no chemistry in the ring at all.

[Guest TheLastBoyscout]

Flair's held more titles than Christian's had pieces of ass.

 

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!

[Guest TheLastBoyscout]

Oh Hell, I gotta give another one because Flair WON a damn match:

 

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!

[iggymcfly 0]

I have to say, I like Simon Dean. I'd like to see an IC level push for him.

[SuperJerk 0]

Isn't that particular piece of music 110 years old and thus no one actually owns the rights to it?

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

I dig the "Haha, yeah!" line he throws in.

 

Not a fan of his character's ring work, as I've yet to see him in one good match.

IC Title - Never. They've established way too much credibility in the title during Orton and Benjamin's reigns to allow it to go to a comedy character. Plus Hassan looks to be the next IC challenger.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

RobotJerk,

 

The Flair theme is edited on many WWE video games and most DVD releases, so I'm guessing they do that for a reason.

 

Tonight he used a different WWE-produced variant of the theme.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Proposed Vengeance Card (?)

 

- World Title: Batista Vs. Triple H

- Intercontinental Title: Shelton Benjamin Vs. Mohammed Hassan

- Tag Team Titles: Hurricane & Rosey Vs. Simon Dean & Maven

- Kane Vs. Edge

- Christian Vs. Ric Flair

 

I don't like it. I think Hassan is definately a step down ring-work wise for Benjamin, considering his latest big-time matches.

 

The rest looks like crap.

 

Mid-Card could see some Smackdown! talent thrown in.

[DangerousDamon 0]

Looks like Hassan's starting to challenge now.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

Give me 20 more minutes of Conway/Benjamin. That match was pretty rocking for the time it was given. If anything, it proves Grenier is holding Conway back. Break up Les Res, and push Conway.
