LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2005 I don't think it's been terrible, but the matches have all been odd choices except Angle/Shelton and Mickie/Candice. Flair/Murdoch? HHH/Venis? HBK/JBL?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downhome 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2005 I don't think WWE can have two consecutive pay-per-views where non-wrestlers don't wrestle. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They have to do something with Carlito regardless. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There have been a lot of great lines tonight. This, the ring having an accent, etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And really its much the same for Big Show, Orton and Batista... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Quik Report post Posted November 22, 2005 So, I couldn't help but notice that Mickey James wasn't wearing a thong tonight. This disappoints me, since that was one of the few things I liked about Raw lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slimm44 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2005 Are they still going to have Batista/Orton for the title on SD, or did they toss that out of the window after what we saw tonight? They are making it sound like Batista wont even be on SD at all. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nothing was announced, guess they're waiting to say something on Smackdown. but something tells me Batista isnt done for the night Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JMA Report post Posted November 22, 2005 I miss the old days when a promotion could eviscerate their stale main event and bring in new guys from other promotions. I'm a little tired of seeing guys from the "New Generation" and "Attitude" eras, respectively. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
