Looks like its time for Edge to miss another year of wrestling.

One thing that's making this show go faster...

 

No Vince McMahon.

[Hawk 34 0]

This show is going by a lot faster than a RAW, at least to me. Say what you will about the show tonight, but at least it's had a different feel to it, with a few changes in the action.

 

Aside from Joey/Tazz/King trying to murder each other on commentary, it's been Raw minus the HHH/McMahon saga.

Thanks for blurring Vince's ass this time.

Serious Mick Foley

[razazteca 0]

Sweet its the Kane Dewey promo.

[Guest Skironox]

Mankind is coming back?

[Hawk 34 0]

Here comes Foley's inspired promo of the year.

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

Uh, oh. Quietly intense Foley. Here comes the hard sell.

Guess what? Rey is associated with WCW too. So is Benoit. And Jericho. And Chavo Guerrero, and Foley and Flair. So what? Why not bring in Hall and Nash and Steiner in and have them all wear WCW t-shirts... I just don't see the appeal, that's all.

Well I also have reason to believe that if they ever had a WCW vs WWE ordeal with a WCW team, that those guys would have a rightful place on the WCW team.

 

My fucking God, there's no way at all to escape See no Evil.

 

Well that's fine. My main point is that I don't see the benefit to doing a WWE vs. ECW angle or a WWE vs. WCW angle in the first place for several reasons, but yes, if they're going to do it, the guys they're using obviously make sense... even if guys like RVD, Rey, Foley, etc. have made more of a name for themselves in WWE and have been associated with WWE for longer.

 

At least we can agree on See No Evil.

Don't forget about the ECW entrance making this show different from Raw.

 

That match was like the stiffest thing I've ever seen from the WWE... and the wrestling was pretty hard, too.

Now if this was a day time soap on NBC, Foley would win the Emmy.

[Downhome 0]

ECW wanted too much from Foley, so he went to WWE to take the biggest bump of his career.

[snuffbox 0]

So thats what 5 consecutive punches from a drunken old man looks like.

[Hawk 34 0]

Oh, shit. THIS is a Foley promo.

[Downhome 0]

If WWE ever wanted to get over any program, they could just have a special "Story Time With Mick Foley", and he cuts a promo like this about whatever program they want to promote.

[Slickster 0]

HOLY HOLY HOLY SHIT.

[CanadianGuitarist 0]

This is fucking great. Just as it was with Funk three weeks ago.

 

As much as I liked Mankind as a face, Heel Foley is the best promo guy ever. EVER

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Yay Foley for getting rid of that very poor excuse for motivation, though I'm not sure exactly what it is now. Ok, it's wanting to get revenge on.. ecw? Ok, better, but, you know, not good. I love how Foley wanted this to work so bad he told Funk to punch his face so hard to cause a mouse under his eye. Maybe I will forgive Foley for the lameness of this feud afterall. That promo was AAAAAAAAAAAAALL over the place, though.

[razazteca 0]

Now this is the Foley that people will remember! Foley is not only the hardcore god but he is also the god of promos!

[Hawk 34 0]

Everyone, you just witnessed a money promo. Yeah, like Rudo said, it was all over the place but Foley was selling the show and gave for once, a more sensible explanation.

[Downhome 0]

This is also one of the main things that most new workers no longer learn on their way up. Hot damn is that how you cut a promo that sells tickets or what...

[1234-5678 0]

See, I love Mick Foley and Foley's promos, but that had a tone of............"I've seen it all before."

 

Then again having to listen to Lawler made that interview seem all that much greater.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

And the King just threw THE PUNCH OF THE YEAR in the WWE.

[CanadianGuitarist 0]

Lalwer hit Taz STIFF!

[razazteca 0]

This is the greatest Raw in the history of Raw!

[2GOLD 0]

I still don't buy his promos anymore. Sorry, don't buy it and I still wish he'd just go and never come back.

[Jaxxson Mayhem 0]

HAHAHHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAA

 

That shit looked kinda real.

[Exslade ZX 0]

Awww, they cut Joey and JR about to fight.

 

And yea...that was pretty gay.

[skullman80 0]

I think Lawler through a legit punch there...
