The OAO Raw Thread for 12/26/05

[Dips 0]

With New Year's Revolution fast approaching, all six competitors slated to compete in the Elimination Chamber will compete in "Beat the Clock" matches Monday night on RAW. The Superstar with the fastest time will enter the Chamber last at New Year's Revolution. Who will gain the Elimination Chamber advantage? Watch RAW to find out.

 

Also, Big Show and Triple H are scheduled to square off at New Year's Revolution. But first, they must sign the appropriate paperwork. Watch the contract signing this Monday night on RAW.

 

Also on RAW, Intercontinental Champion Ric Flair will appear on The Cutting Edge. For weeks, Edge and Lita have been taking shots at "The Nature Boy." How will Flair respond Monday night?

 

Additionally, Mr. McMahon will give a review of Bret Hart's new DVD. Tune in to RAW (on USA at 9/8 CT) to find out how the WWE Chairman feels about the Hit Man's DVD.

 

Looks like it could actually be a good show IMO.

what are these "beat the clock" matches? Do they actually compete against each other, or is Shelton going to end up jobbing to Carlito with the Fruit Roll-Up for 774273643826721th time?

It's the same as last year, the six men (Shawn, Kane, Cena, Carlito, Masters and Angle)

 

all have a match and the winner with the quickest time gets to enter the match(EC) last.

[Matt Young 0]

I liked those matches last year, but ofcourse we all know that the guys in the EC match will win regardless.

For a change of pace Carlito will win the match by DQ when Shelton uses the apple as a weapon.

Fruit Roll-up....LOL

[Guest Coffey]

Maybe they'll button-hook us and have someone like Carlito or Masters lose in a match to someone like Edge just so the "beat the clock" matches have more meaning other than Chamber order.

I'd like that.

 

"You button-hooked me... I didn't know you were going to button-hook me." </goat>

Fuckin Trips requires a contract signing for every match he's in nowadays.

 

Wasn't there supposed to be some sort of "Major Announcement" from Angle?

[Hawk 34 0]

You left Jobber Benjamin off your list.

[Epic Reine 0]

Benjamin will be in another role tonight, he won't be jobbing in an EC Beat The Clock match.

[k thx 0]

Benjamin will be in another role tonight, he won't be jobbing in an EC Beat The Clock match.

Nah, he'll be jobbing on Heat.

[Silence 0]

Nah, he'll be jobbing on Heat.

 

Then on the first Raw in 2006, we'll be introduced to "Shelton's Mama", and WWE will start with a crappy segment involving her telling Shelton to eat his Campbell's soup.

[haVoc 0]

At least as of this morning, Bret Hart was never contacted by WWE regarding whatever they are going to do tonight on Raw. I can't imagine Vince burying his own product that is still relatively new to the marketplace, since the goal of the segment will be to push sales. I think Vince probably would like to built a Hart-Michaels controversy to build the Michaels book and the Hart DVD at the same time, but maybe someone figured it may not go over well if Michaels was involved. Or maybe Michaels will be involved and they just didn't want that out ahead of time. As for the idea Hart is coming back to TV, there are no talks whatsoever in that direction. Hart is living in Italy with no plans on coming back to North America until the Aladdin play starts.

I highly doubt anyone expected Bret to show up tonight.

[CBright7831 0]

I really wish Bret would stop being rebellious and just accept a spot in the HOF.

[haVoc 0]

I usually like the Pre-Raw pix' on WWE.com, but this week there's only a few and nothing special. One decent one of Maria.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

I just bought the Bret Hart DVD today and its still in the wrap.

 

I want Vince to tell me its a pile of shit so I can take it back.

 

It'd be like stealing money right out of his pocket.

[haVoc 0]

Make sure you email them and thank Vince for the heads up.

[slimm44 0]

I watched the DVD today and it was good, Bret seemed really negative though in some spots. But definitely a keeper, just not as good as Benoit or Guerrero's

 

Lookin forward to RAW

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

Im surprised tonights RAW isn't in Best of Mode but I guess they couldn't afford to lose a 2nd week of buildup to NYR.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

I'm guessing they're saving the new GM for either the first Raw of 2006 or the first Raw after New Year's Revolution.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

I say Masters beats the clock.

 

..

 

"But wait, theres more!"

 

Vince missed his calling as an infomercial pitch man. All he needed to do was include "for the low low price of only XXX"...

[Downhome 0]

Ok.

 

What in the hell was with how Vince was acting?

[Anakin Flair 0]

That was...interesting.

 

 

Is he intnent on pissing off Bret now that he's made a buck off of him again?

[Hawk 34 0]

That was...interesting.

Both got what they wanted, now Vince can go "get over it" by spending the entire show here going over this and putting it as the main event.
