The one and only Raw thread for 5/20/02

Recommended Posts

Judgment Day has come and gone, and what a night it was!  

Undertaker is the new Undisputed WWE Champion, after defeating Hollywood Hulk Hogan on Sunday night. Tonight on TNN, the Dead Man returns to RAW as the champion, meaning that he is the judge, jury and executioner. What will the new champion have to say? And what will Hogan do now that he is a former champion?

 

Also at Judgment Day, RAW owner Ric Flair teamed with Big Show to take on Stone Cold Steve Austin in a Handicap Match. But the numbers game didn't work out too well for the Nature Boy, as Stone Cold emerged victorious. Will Flair be looking for revenge on RAW? What will happen if he and Austin cross paths again? Find out on RAW!

 

Three matches have been announced for tonight's show so far. WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus will defend her title against Jacqueline, while WWE European Champion William Regal defends against Bubba Ray Dudley. Plus, the Hardy Boyz take on Big Show and X-Pac of the nWo!

 

You can't miss RAW, tonight at 9/8 CT on TNN, live from Memphis, Tenn!

 

 

The matches sound horrible.

Gee, looks like another "MOST IMPROTANT RAW EVER~!" shows. Funny, they say that most every other week. Anyway, I think Bubba Ray DUDley will leave with the European title, just because. Hey, at least Hogan won't be there.........he's supposed to be on Smackdown.............RIGHT?

My Christ. Well, I guess that's what fast forward is for.. I would rather watch the commercials on TNN than watch The Hardyz vs. Show & X-piss. Goodness.

 

What will the Undertaker say? I dunno, but you can bet that it will be a 10-20 minute promo which will take longer than it takes me to take a shit.

If it takes you that long to shit, you should really go to the doctor.

Oh boy... Raw sounds EXCITING~!  ... *snores*

 

Too bad.. how much I bitch about the show, I'll still watch it regardless... just HOPING the WWE will somehow get better.

 

The closet thing you'll get to Davey's death is the article they have on WWE.com.  

 

I see the beginning of the Raw, UT comes out.. gloats how he is champ.. beat Hogan, blah, blah, blah.. gets interupted by someone... a match between that person and UT.

 

At least that's my opinion.

The Women's Title match will be the best. You know the Hardys will get squashed by the Big Show.The last Hardy's win I remember was Matt going over Mr. Perfect. Which shows you how low Perfect really was. Maybe it was a good thing for him that he got fired.

Uhmmm, I'd reply but I think I better make a doctor's appointment first.  In about twenty minutes... maybe I should stop with all the reading on the john.

I read a lot too. That's one reason why it takes so long, the other being I'm trying to avoid random promo.

 

I'm sure that nobody wants to read about shit though, so on to the WWE Raw thoughts. (Yes, I left the door open for random jokes)

Trish/Jackie? Eh... I'll give it a chance...

 

Regal/Buh Buh? Hahaha! Haha! Ahah- wait... wait, they're serious? Bathroom break.

 

Hardyz/nWo? HAAHAHAHA! OH THAT'S TOO MUCH! OH THAT-... what do you mean that's really a match? You're joking, right?

 

...

 

Right?

Sigh.

Well, they did for Lou and Wahoo and they weren't even in the WWF...so I bet tonight they say something.

I have become immune to the WWE at this point.

 

Keep throwing the shit on the screen guys...and your audience will continue to dwindle.

 

Does anyone else REALLY REALLY want Taker to drop the title to some one new tonight?

 

I mean...even RVD haters kind of have to see that as better than Hogan and Taker on top.

 

And no one wants Austin vs. Taker again.

 

RVD gets good matches out of Taker...even though he can't win it...wouldn't a Taker vs. RVD title match where it looks like RVD will win at some point be more exciting than anything on WWE tv in a LONG LONG time?

I really want Booker T. to win the WWE Undisputed Title. It would set up new main event feuds & storylines. I mean, it would be fresh, he has yet to hold the WWE title, and he proved in WCW that he makes a good leader for the company. At least, in my eyes he does. He seems to be over with the fans (even if it is just because of comedic performances).

 

Booker T. Vs. Edge

Booker T. Vs. Chris Jericho

Booker T. Vs. Kurt Angle

Booker T. Vs. Chris Benoit (when healthy)

Booker T. Vs. Rob Van Dam

 

He could possibly even get some good matches out of the old, bored or lazy. In example:

 

Booker T. Vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin

Booker T. Vs. The Undertaker (it could be better this time).

Booker T. Vs. Triple H

 

Of course, it's not going to happen, but a man can dream can't he?

 

While I'm dreaming, let's go ahead and push Christian to the upper mid-card & Lance Storm to main event status. Also, if the WWE still insists on using Hulk Hogan, he can feud with The Giant in a remake of Wrestlemania 3, only this time it wouldn't be the last match on the PPV. Austin, until his time w/ Booker, could continue his feud with Ric Flair.

 

I don't see the problem with this idea, other than it won't happen.

Booker is more of a joke than RVD is at this point...and I shudder to remember the Taker-Booker match from No Mercy...

 

Seriously...Booker has yet to win a ppv match in the WWE (except the ten man at invasion) and hasn't even gotten on the card wince WrestleMania.

 

Now he's in comedy spots with Goldust.

 

Book is not at all what I want to see right now.

All it would take is a babyface turn and all that would be forgotten.

 

I think that the majority like the "Goldust comedy spots" as well. I do.

*add Booker T. Vs. RVD to previous list.*

I know that's the only thing I'd not want to miss on RAW.  Seriously, Goldust may be just an average wrestler, but he's always been one of my favorite characters.  I just recently saw an overview of some of his promos against the "homophobic" Razor Ramon, and although I usually defend gay rights to the best of my ability and as such admit they weren't exactly totally tasteful, they were great promos Goldust believably got under Ramon's skin.

Booker may have been treated like a joke but he would help the main event more than RVD would.  What the hell are they waiting for to turn him?  He should be at least a tweener right now.

 

I'm banning RAW for a month and doing more productive things with my time.  Too much XPac, Big Show, Bradshaw, Undertaker, and Hogan there and it's making me sick.  I can't believe they're wasting a feud between Steve Austin and FREAKIN' Ric Flair.  If only the WWF would use history in its storytelling it would make shit a lot more interesting.  I'll just find out what happens here and on Smackdown.

 

When's Benoit coming back?

I'm confused as to how a guy who hasn't even turned face yet would benefit the main event more than a younger guy who is very over.

 

But if thats what you guys think...you are watching the right product.

Unfortunately, I don't ever see this happening, as they'd never give a Raw match 20 minutes, but I think this would be awesome and really establish RVD as a top guy.

 

Somehow, he has earned a title shot against UT on Raw(insert your own story here)and they have gone 19+ minutes with both getting close 2-count falls on the other throughout the match. UT kicked out of all of RVD's other moves except for the frog splash which RVD missed the one time he tried it. RVD has kicked out of ALL of UT's moves including the chokeslam, tombstone, and last ride. As I said, we're over the 19 minute mark and RVD finally hits the 5 star on UT. He covers, but the ref rings the bell. RVD and many fans think he has won, but it is announced that the time limit expired. This would of course eventually warrant a title shot for RVD with no time limit and I don't know how that should go. What does everyone think?

Too late.  -_-  I guess Vince needed the crowd hot... so cue RVD.

 

WTF?!  UT/RVD?!  RVD PUSH!  WHAT?!  YES!

 

Good Davey tribute, BTW.

How do you get UT over as a heel?

 

Make him attack RVD from behind.. good move for pushing RVD AND making UT a heel, WWE.

 

Good job...

 

I don't believe I just said WWE did a good job on something... weird...
