The OAO Raw Thread - Dec/5th/05

[Guest Zarock]

* The court shit was completely unnessacary, as they could have just used the beginning and ending with roughly the same result

 

* The four way match was basically there to put over Kane/Big Show as the most powerful tag-team ever, and it did that well, I think

 

*God I hate divas matches. It's like the opposite of the Smackdown Six: The same six girls going at it in sucky singles/tag matches.

 

*The Cutting Edge segment was just goddamn awful. Is Edge's new gimmick saying horrible shit like "Where's your pal, Terry Gordy?....oh right, he's DEAD!"

 

*Chavo/Cade was ghey.

 

*The tag match was alright in that everybody pretty played their parts great. The finish was lame, because I think having Benjamin blind tag HBK and then WIN would've been better. Actually, most matches could be made better with Shelton going over.

 

btw, Carlito DOES have a finisher (An extremely lame looking neckbreaker type thing), and he HAS used it (on Heat against a jobber), so it would've been plausible to have Carlito execute it instead of small packaging him.

 

 

How exactly can a match be gay or ghey?

 

The court segment was dragged out to be funny. Some people thought it was. Others didn't. I personally found it more entertaining than most of the stuff on WWE television lately. It was silly but it was silly done right as opposed to the JR colonoscopy. I wanted to hate it because I watch WWE programming lately iwith that state of mind, I want them to annoy and piss me off, I expect it. I laughed at those segments though and I felt it was as good as the TNA 3-D funeral.

 

I think Edge's gimmick is to be a loose cannon ala Pillman and say things he isn't supposed to say. Things the office wouldn't want him to say. Such as calling Slaughter and Hayes Vince's yes-men, mocking Ric Flair and making the Terry Gordy reference. I found nothing wrong with the remark. It's not like Terry Gordy died two weeks ago. He was coming across as desperate for saying it in retaliation towards Hayes getting the best on the mic and saying he wasn't a main eventer and never sold out an arena. I thought it was an excellent promo, I loved the segment.

 

I meant the match wasn't very good.

 

The only part of the court segment I liked was when the Boogeyman disappeared, with Vince looking scared shitless and then it cuts to Mick Foley eating a moonpie and not noticing a thing. That was actually pretty funny to me.

 

I can understand your point about Terry Gordy not being all that offensive, but I just don't like guys using dead wrestlers to get heat. And yes, Haynes promo kicked all kinds of ass.

 

 

* The court shit was completely unnessacary, as they could have just used the beginning and ending with roughly the same result

 

And we say WWE writers are bad... The point of doing something like that isn't to have a result, it's to be entertaining. I'm sure Vince could have just came out and said "Eric is fired, ok bye" and it would have had the same result. But that would have sucked. I thought the court stuff was funny. Coach being Eric's defense attorney, Foley coming out with a batman lunchbox, Maria asking for socko, Maria being smart, the Boogeyman (it's so fucking silly and stupid, how can you not laugh), Vince's reaction to the boogeyman, Foley's reaction which was to shove food in his mouth, Vince yelling at Eric to shut up when he was trying to respond to Stephanie, Vince listening to Ashlee Simpson on his ipod, etc.. Whether you thought it was funny or not, you have at least give them credit for trying something different instead of just having a bland format of match, match, promo, match, promo, etc.. like they've been doing on TNN for years.

 

*Chavo/Cade was ghey.

 

That wasn't ghey. This comment was ghey.

"*God I hate divas matches. It's like the opposite of the Smackdown Six: The same six girls going at it in sucky singles/tag matches."

 

Critiquing wrestling in DIVA matches. That's a good one.

 

*The tag match was alright in that everybody pretty played their parts great. The finish was lame, because I think having Benjamin blind tag HBK and then WIN would've been better. Actually, most matches could be made better with Shelton going over.

 

So the finish was lame because it started an angle that may give Shelton some personality and make people care about him instead of giving him the win in some meaningless tag match.

 

1. Necessary is the hardest word ever to write.

 

2. I was complaining about the QUANTITY of the women's matches, not the quality.

 

3. I still think that having Benjamin go over would've been better. It would've made him look like less of a hopeless loser, or at the very least push him into the upper-mid card.
