The one and only 5/27/02 raw thread

Taker has new music again...and it sucks, IMO.

[Guest El Satanico]

So i guess Undertakers title reign will consist of attacking all the ex ECWers?

[Guest HartFan86]

Dreamer = WWE Champion? LOL!

[Guest El Satanico]

heh...watch him win it. I'd laugh my ass off if Dreamer accidently won the belt.

[Guest Army Eye]

aww Dreamer doesn't want to drink it?  They're killing his gimmick

[Guest EI Cubano]

You know, the segment hasnt ended yet but I am strangely enjoying Tommy Dreamer's character tonight, its a change if nothing else.

[Guest HartFan86]

K, what's the point of this? It's disgusting as hell.

[Guest El Satanico]

His tobacco juice spit is carbonated?

[Guest HartFan86]

Well, at least he's getting TV time...I suppose.

[Guest goodhelmet]

This is the dumbest shit ever!!! Well not ever but WTF!!!! Instead of them continuing the RVD quest for the title we get this ratings killing trash. Dammit, Benoit is back and we are subjected to this crap????

[Guest]

He's hardcore! He's hardcore!

[Guest El Satanico]

So which ex ECWer will be fed to Undertaker next week?

Spike Dudley?

[Guest bob_barron]

Well Raven did quit commentary.

[Guest LaParkaMarka]

Anyone watching this on TSN? That James Duthie bit ws actually rather funny.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

Worst.  Segment.  Ever.

[Guest Human Fly]

I was hoping Dreamer would at least get some token offense in. A few punches, a chair shot, something.

[Guest Invader3k]

Well, Brock vs Bubba Ray Dudley is up next...I'm hoping it's a quick squash...as anything more than a minute or two between them will probably suck.

[Guest El Satanico]

I'm betting that it will be Stevie Richards and undertaker will become the first Hardcore Undisputed Champion.

[Guest Jobber of the Week]

I don't think even "Respect the Taker" could defend that promo as being worth it's airtime.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

Well, I really like Tommy Dreamer, and it's good to see him on Raw...but did we really need that to go on for 12 minutes or however long it went?  Funny, and I guess it gets over the Taker character as a big bully, but would it have hurt so much for them to at least have an impromptu match, or a brawl, or something?

[Guest HartFan86]

It doesn't make sense. Great, Taker's putting over mid carders to curtain jerkers by having angles with them on TV...but what the fuck will that do considering he's champ? Will they just have all these guys fight Taker at KOTR? Pick a worth opponent, promote a feud, and deliever at KOTR.

[Guest Madmartigan21]

I'm betting the Ladder match has three run-in's.

 

1. Austin

2. Benoit

3. The Undertaker

 

Not neccessarily in that order.  I'd also put my money on more than one ref bump.

[Guest HartFan86]

Random Thought: Roster Split must end.

[Guest RetroRob215]

Well, Raw is halfway over and I'm happy so far.  Even the Dreamer-Taker thing wasn't horrible, but I'm pissed RVD didn't come out and make the save.

I'm not sure about Benoit...but Austin is most likely and Taker probably. I wouldn't be surprised to see Flair out there either.

[Guest HartFan86]

The Brock/Buh Buh match was actually quite good.

[Guest HartFan86]

So the IC title match is the main event. When's the last time, if EVER, we have seen that on a wrestling TV show?

[Guest bob_barron]

that match kicked ass

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

Best match Brock has had thus far.  That's the way to do it--make him go 8 or 10 minutes with a veteran like Bubba, someone who really knows his way around a ring, and he's starting to look good.  Best match so far tonight, but that's not saying a whole lot yet...
