The OAO RAW Thread for June 13th, 2005

[Guest JMA]

And Angle gets to return the job.

[Slickster]

RAW is Business Casual Menswear!

[Angles Broken Fricken Neck]

HBK's back- do we get a re-match now?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

yes

[ChrisMWaters]

Ah yes...they remembered the Post-Mania 21 promise.

[Exslade ZX]

WWE Fantasy points going WILD!!!

 

>_>

[CanadianChick]

Shawn looks like a tool, as much as I like him.

[AndrewTS]

Oh great, HBK.

[Angles Broken Fricken Neck]

lmao did kurt accidently take out hhh?

[DMann2003]

Geez they're booking Vegence like it was SummerSlam.

 

And might we be getting HHH/Angle vs Batista/Michaels next week?

[Conspiracy_Victim]

This is what happens when "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" finally explodes into jealousy and catfights.

[Exslade ZX]

Ummm..that was a little backwards way to end..

[Guest Quik]

Dude, holy fuck. How low did Cena just drop on the depth chart?

[Guest Arnold_OldSchool]

the crowd was kinda quiet at the end

[Angles Broken Fricken Neck]

Dude, holy fuck. How low did Cena just drop on the depth chart?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Cena?

[AndrewTS]

JBL is now by far the top guy on SD again. =/

[Guest Quik]

Dude, holy fuck. How low did Cena just drop on the depth chart?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Cena?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Yeah, the rapper guy.

[ChrisMWaters]

So...

...um..

 

...who will Smackdown get this week?

[GreatWhiteNope]

...So..what if HHH wins?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I'm pretty sure that's what will happen.

[Exslade ZX]

And man...they have got to get rid of this dress code.

 

what happened to the time when Rock would come out in his black sweats and own t-shirt, followed by Austin in his little ass jean shorts and an Austin T-shirt, followed by Kurt in some bright red pants and a grey shirt, followed by HHH in his freaky looking jean biker jacket, etc.

 

This whole everyone sweating their ass off in casual wear has to go...that just did not look pretty.

[Jericho2000Mark]

Looks like Cena is back in the midcard again...

 

Where the fuck is this going? SmackDown is completely depleted, and it doesn't look like either World Titles are going to SmackDown. Will they turn SmackDown into ECW or something?

It really is the most rediculous thing ever. I mean, c'mon, when did pro wrestling become a show about guys in cheap suits arguing?

[Superfly Snuka]

anyone else seeing this as a way to get all ther big stars on Raw and eventually open up ECW for the Friday time slot. Only thing that doesn't make me think this i that one can't expect ECW buyrate to stay this high (if there were to be more ECW PPVs) and while the crowd is crazy, filling places like last night is ~4000 people compared to a regular house show which is about $10,000 people; thus ECW coming back probably won't occur because WWE would lose money doing this even though the product is superior

Yeah, 10,000 dollar people are a bitch to get into the arena.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

There's still a long way to go. Smackdown still has four picks to go. And more then likely one is reserved for the WWE Champion.

 

It really just seems like they're trying to stack the Vengeance card while they have the oppurtunity of having anybody on it (this month), before returning the rosters to normal and letting them do their thing again.

[Shanghai Kid]

Yeah, but HOLY SHIT, how STACKED is Raws main event now compared to Smackdown? Raw has HHH, Angle, Batista, HBK, Cena, and it actually has a decent developing midcard also with Shelton, Hassan, and Christian.

 

Maybe I'm crazy but with Cena and Angle on Raw it already feels more fresh and less like the HHH show. Now you have legit main eventers instead of HHH and others.

[Adam]

I now realise what they're doing. They're going to build Vengeance as the biggest PPV outside of Mania so it overshadows ECW.

[Anakin Flair]

Dude, holy fuck. How low did Cena just drop on the depth chart?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I'd wait till after the draft is done to see how low Cena goes in the card- there are still several more people that get to leave Raw. Could be Trips, could be Batista.

 

Then again, it could be Viscera.

[Epic Reine]

Damn, everybody was sweating like crazy.

[tominator89]

They can try if they want to. I couldn't care less about Vengeance.

[Guest *KNK*]

What a completely boring show save for a couple nice zingers at the end from Angle and a slightly amusing Woo-off.

1. HHH

2. Batista

3. Angle

4. Shawn

5. Cena

6. Edge

7. Kane

8. Christian

Clearly Smackdown is just getting buried here cuz of the friday thing.
