CBright7831 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2005 A RAW deal October 17, 2005 Mr. McMahon promised that someone would pay for Stone Cold’s actions at WWE Homecoming, but he never officially fired anyone. Instead, WWE CEO Linda McMahon shocked the world when she fired Good Ol’ J.R., Jim Ross, from the RAW announce team and delivered a humiliating low blow as her and her family celebrated in the middle of the ring. J.R. has been the voice of RAW for years, so what will RAW sound like without the proud Oklahoman? Plus, it seems like everyone is gunning for John Cena’s WWE Championship. Last week Big Show, Shawn Michaels, Edge, Carlito and Kurt Angle all said that they should be the new No. 1 contender. All six were involved in a monster six-man tag match last week on RAW that saw Kurt Angle pin John Cena. Will a clear-cut No. 1 contender emerge on RAW this week? Also, Triple H revealed that he beat Ric Flair to a bloody pulp at WWE Homecoming because he couldn’t bear to sit back and watch anyone spit in the face of Flair’s legacy. The Game said that he was the one that made Ric Flair great again, but that was over now. He said that Flair is no longer the Dirtiest Player in the Game, and in fact, the game was over for Flair. Will Flair be able to respond to Triple H’s comments this week on RAW? And this Monday will also mark the return of the Big Red Monster, Kane. We haven’t seen or heard from Kane in months. How will the big man make an impact? Plus, Mick Foley will be the guest on Carlito’s Cabana. The Hardcore Legend has been silent since SmackDown’s Randy Orton hit him with an RKO at WWE Homecoming, so Foley will surely have a lot to say. Don’t miss all this and more this week on RAW at 9/8 CT on the USA Network Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will Flair be able to respond to Triple H’s comments this week on RAW? What I don't understand is how Trip is supposed to be the heel when he is absolutely correct. Flair has been ruining his legacy since 1999. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CBright7831 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2005 I'm glad WWE.com summed that up, because judging by Triple H's promo last Monday, it was starting to sound like he jumped Flair was because Flair finally made it off of the top turnbuckle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Zarock Report post Posted October 17, 2005 Cole, Lawler, and Coach is like an evolutionary chart of sucky annoucers. The Cabana will likely follow the general C's C formula: Carlito introduces guest; if face, he will insult them and then spit in their face for not being cool, if heel, a face will come in and challenge them; Carlito gets beat-up regardless. Oh, and Kane's returning? FUCK YEAH! Also, will Cena decide to rebel against THE MAN(!!!), or is he just going to be a gigantic pussy about it and make gay jokes about Kurt Angle?

haVoc 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2005 One thing I haven't liked since the move back to USA is the lack of matches announced before hand along with the lack of matches on the show. They're focusing mostly on angles again. Though, that could just be me. Seems like there has been less matches on the show since Homecoming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest *KNK* Report post Posted October 18, 2005 I was expecting the Cabana to start off the show and Foley to make a point about about the un-fair treatment and against Bischoff's and the McMahon's wishes, take JR's seat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
