Dimensions 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 In a promotional message sent out to WWE Mailing List subscribers, WWE confirmed an interbrand main-event for the 7/11 WWE RAW telecast. The event, which takes place at New Jersey's Continental Airlines Arena, will see Batista and John Cena take on Triple H and John Bradshaw Layfield. The unprecedented match should help move tickets for that particular edition of RAW, which is already emanating from a very hot wrestling market.

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 While it is interesting to see this interbrand matchup, I'm concerned with match quality since it appears JBL could very well be the best worker of the 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 I would rather see the Raw guys and Smackdown! guys fight on the same team. They could put aside their differences in order to represent their brands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NewYorkFox Report post Posted June 3, 2005 I'm guessing this'll be after the camera's have gone off air. It's the perfect way to get fans to turn up without afecting the storylines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
claydude14 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 JBL/HHH shouldn't be able to co-exist. I guess Batista and Cena could although they beefed at the end of the Rumble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously, consider the fact that fans buy tix for tv tapings where they have no idea what will take place but buy them anyway and hope for the best (like me getting raw tix in anaheim and it turning out to be the kane-lita wedding debacle) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why are you concerned? It'll probably be a fun match, with lots of comedy spots like the other dark matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not worth it. And my perspective of being concerned is IF I was to be going to that particular show. I did not make myself very clear on that in the first post.

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2005 I was thinking..they could be calling it an Interbrand match now..but what if Cena and JBL go to RAW, HHH and Batista stay on RAW..They might be figuring with SD going to Friday Night they can just shoot SD to hell from here on out until it gets canceled... Hmm.. That would be messed up. But its possible because NOBODY IS SAFE FROM THE DRAFT!!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew J. Report post Posted June 4, 2005 It says the match is the main event of the TELECAST, so it's not going to be a dark match, assuming PWI is accurate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2005 They're doing that match in South Korea, too. Another interesting one from Satima Japan is Taker/Kane/Mysterio vs Edge/Angle/Eddie. While this is off topic, the South Korea and two Satima house shows look pretty good (the 2nd Satima show is even has a match marketed as "WRESTLEMANIA 19 REMATCH!" - HBK vs Jericho).

Team Angle Pusher 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2005 Tajiri is obviously better then HHH. JBL isn't better then HHH at his best but I'd say they are at same level nowadays though. Regal is a great athlete but you'd have to see him in the top to see if he's better then HHH. And Venis is a great wrestler as well, but same with Regal.

Guest ManKinnd Report post Posted June 4, 2005 I can't think of one **** Venis match. And don't lecture me about time or opponents given, because arguments have to based off facts, and every time someone tells me Venis is great, they end up arguing that he "could" be great if given good time and opponents. But no one knows that for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2005 A lot of people 'could' be great - if given the time, Kane could even put on a **** match with a good apponent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Buzz 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2005 Well...Triple H has been given all the time and all the opponents, and I'm still waiting for something great. He's a decent worker and a decent champion, and I'm happy for him as a person that he's getting such a great push. He's not horrible so..I can accept him in his position. I think the match could be fun to see how it plays out, as July is the draft month right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
