BHK Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Major Announcement September 19, 2005 Monday Night RAW comes to you just 24 hours after the Unforgiven pay-per-view, and Mr. McMahon will have a major announcement tonight. Last night at Unforgiven, Kurt Angle was able to defeat John Cena. Angle, however, did not walk out as the WWE Champion, as his victory came via disqualification. What will Angle have in store for Cena, one night after coming so close to winning the WWE Championship? Watch Monday Night RAW to find out. History was made last night when Ric Flair captured the Intercontinental Championship from Carlito. After the match, Flair was seen partying until he dropped. Carlito will get a shot to regain the gold tonight on RAW in a huge rematch. Will all of Flair's excessive partying have an effect on the outcome? Another major championship changed hands at Unforgiven when Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch defeated The Hurricane & Rosey for the World Tag Team Championship. Be sure to catch Day One of Cade & Murdoch's reign on top of the tag team mountain Monday night on RAW. All this and more tonight on RAW (Spike TV, 9/8 CT). So what's the annoucment? The only thing I can think of is the return of taboo Tuesday, but don't we know about that already?
Da Maintenance Man Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Maybe it'll be the return to USA...
KingPK Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 It'll probably just be Vince announcing Angle vs. Cena for TT and the fans being able to pick the stipulation. Remember, WWE thinks the fans can't remember what happened last week and have to be reminded with pretty video packages, so how will we ever be able to remember which PPV is next?
landy1987 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 WWE.com now have this for the Oct. 3 Raw on USA, maybe he'll just announce this as I think its new information: Monday Night RAW will be heading back home to the USA Network on Oct. 3. The historic three-hour RAW will start at 7:55 p.m. ET. Many former WWE Champions will be making their return to RAW for "The WWE Homecoming" on Oct. 3, including Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan Mick Foley and the return of Triple H. All of this is in addition to Mr. McMahon, WWE Champion John Cena, Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle, Ric Flair and a host of WWE legends being a part of the historic, star-studded evening. Many legends already confirmed for Oct. 3 include: "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Jimmy Hart, Hillbilly Jim, Superstar Billy Graham, The Iron Sheik, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Fabulous Moolah, Mae Young, Harley Race, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, Chief Jay Strongbow, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Nikolai Volkoff and Koko B. Ware. RAW flourished during its seven-year run on USA network, establishing cable rating records as WWE fans flocked to the television each and every Monday night. And it’s happening all over again, so don’t miss RAW on Oct. 3 for this televised homecoming. EDIT - another note - Trish vs Torrie has been announced for Raw tonight too
Darthtiki Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Maybe I'm the only one with this theory, is that Vince vacates the title and we get a tourney on the Night of Champions with Hunter winning basically making the USA homecoming show a coronation of Hunter as the GOAT. Considering the way creative thinks, it's a feasable thought
Dangerous A Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Dammit Darthtiki, you'll scare the children with your booking thoughts.
Darthtiki Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Dangerous, we missed your expert analysis during the PPV last night.
ChrisMWaters Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Vince's Major Announcement? STEPHANIE IS PREGNANT! OK, maybe not. Speaking of that though, a friend of mine seriously wants Bischoff to be "fired" from his GM role, and be replaced with Stephanie. Should I call the asylum on him?
Downhome Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Another major championship changed hands at Unforgiven when Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch defeated The Hurricane & Rosey for the World Tag Team Championship.
Guest panthermatt7 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 The announcement will be one of three disappointing things we already know: 1. The return of Taboo Tuesday 2. Angle/Cena rematch at said Taboo Tuesday 3. Matt Hardy moving to SmackDown
DrVenkman PhD Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 I'm going with title vacancy on this one (or no vacant title, but still Angle/Cena rematch). Keep in mind though that Taboo Tuesday is in November this year so I think any Cena/Angle rematch will be happneing on 10/3. Another rematch might happen at TT, maybe Angle wins the title on USA and then the fans pick Cena for the title match... or a redo of the "Bischoff is fired in 30 days / right now because he is doing a poor job / being unfair to Cena" which will result in Bsichoff trying to get HHH to come back for October 3rd... or something not important.
Caliban Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 It will be the move to USA. Taboo Tuesday will only get a fleeting mention, it's a month and a half away, the WWE hype machine will be firmly behind No Mercy now.
DrVenkman PhD Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Announcing the move to USA makes the least amount of sense. It's already heavily advertised on WWE.com. On top of that, since other possible predictions are also mentioned online (the 14 other guys that are appearing on Raw that night), they ran a commercial for Raw on the USA network last night during Unforgiven, promoting the 3 hour event. That's not to say the announcement won't be a reminder of this.. but that's all it would be. It would be the announcement of Raw oging to USA, since everyone already knows, just a reminder.
razazteca Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Mr. McMahon will have a major announcement tonight. I want to see Mr. McMahon say YOU'RE FIRED! so that JR can sing the "NA NA NA HEY HEY GOODBYE" song! What about a loser leaves town match?
Downhome Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 He's going to put over the new DVD about Ultimate Warrior.
Caliban Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 It's been announced on WWE.com and the ads ran on Unforgiven, yes. That's still only about 10% of the Raw audience, tops.
cabbageboy Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 I keep hearing about a title vacancy but why? I mean Cena got DQed last night, kept the title...where's the major controversy?
ChrisMWaters Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 I keep hearing about a title vacancy but why? I mean Cena got DQed last night, kept the title...where's the major controversy? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bischoff tried to tell the referee not to give Cena the title belt, and that he didn't care about the rules. That's my only guess as to why there'd be controversy about the WWE title picture.
Caliban Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Bischoff was about to strip Cena of the title, but he got the FU.
DrVenkman PhD Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 You know what was dumb? Why didn't Bischoff knock Cena out when he was holding the title over him? But yes Bischoff may refuse to acknowledge Cena as champion because he's the boss... so I guess Vince would come out and say Cena is the champion. Yes kids, the big announcement is that John Cena is the WWE champion.
razazteca Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Will they get rid of the spinner belt for a more traditional one?
Dobbs 3K Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 I'm sure Vince's "major announcement" is that the title is being held up. That's it.
The Mandarin Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 The big news is that at Taboo Tuesday, fans are going to vote on whether or not there will be a Taboo Tuesday in 2006 based on the buyrate.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 If they do a 1 night Tournament for the Title on October 3rd, the first night of RAW (3 hours too)..that will just be freaking awesome. But you know..that the title won't be won..the final match will end stupidly and you'll get the title match at TT.. But still..a 1 night tournament is good..
2GOLD Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 The announcement should be if Taboo Tuesday does a buyrate better than Wrestlemania, the McMahon family will never be seen on television again. That includes in-law members.
ChrisMWaters Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 Well, here we go again! Kane in the opening...is it sad I want him back sometime soon? ...same with RVD.
CanadianGuitarist Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 That was my first instinct as well, I don't recall seeing RVD in the opening for some time.
Slickster Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 Jesus H. Christ what a big main event.
