OAO Raw Thread - August/28th/2006.

[Guest Hotbutter Spoontoaster]

Has DX crossed the line?

 

DX and The McMahons have been at each other's throats for months. But for the first time in their heated rivalry, it looked as though DX may have finally broken down the WWE Chairman. DX left their mark, literally, on Mr. McMahon's jet, the WWE headquarters and The McMahons' limo. By the end of the night, Mr. McMahon looked on the verge of tears. Has "The Chairman" broken down? Or will his anger only lead to DX feeling his wrath?

 

It wasn't all bad for The McMahons on Raw, though. Mr. McMahon did force Mick Foley to join the exclusive "Mr. McMahon Kiss My Ass Club". The only reason Foley did the dirty deed was to save the job of his friend Melina. But after puckering up, Melina double crossed her supposed good friend and mentor and gave him a low blow. She then followed it up by giving him a verbal low blow when she screamed, "You're fired". Will Melina explain her actions? How could she have backstabbed someone who had done so much for her?

 

Plus, the last time we saw the WWE Champion, he was thrown into the Long Island Sound by John Cena. Never at a loss for words, one can only imagine the tirade Edge will be ready to go on this week on Raw. Edge had originally said that the Edge .VS. Cena story had come to an end, but clearly that's not the case. How will the WWE Champion react to being thrown into the harbor?

 

After making his energetic return to Raw last week, Jeff Hardy is wasting no time testing the top talents Raw has to offer. Tonight, Hardy will take on Randy Orton in a No.1 Contender's Match for Johnny Nitro's Intercontinental Championship. Both Orton and Hardy have held Intercontinental gold in the past, which superstar will earn the opportunity? Can Hardy keep his momentum from last week churning, or will "The Legend Killer" stop the free spirited superstar's comeback dead in his tracks?

 

It's about that time to pack up the book bags and head back to school. Fortunately for WWE fans, Torrie and Candice are going back early to compete in a "Back to School Girl Paddle on a Pole Match". Who will be the first to reach the paddle and dish out some punishment to the naughty loser?

 

Don't miss all of this and much more tonight on Raw at 9pm/8pm CT on the Sci-Fi Network. Repeat at 12:40am/1:40am CT on the USA Network.

How can they drag this Michaels/McMahon thing out any further? Haven't they already had 2 separate blowoff matches? Sadly, I expect a lame time-killer match at Unforgiven, then for Shawn to "screw" HHH at Survivor Series and align with Vince.

[snuffbox 0]

Sadly, you're probably right.

 

Having Cena turn and join Vince would probably be better, as it would mean actual wrestler-vs-wrestler matches and cure some of the face Cena staleness. But that would interfere with Vinces image of John Cena as the next Hulk Austin, so not happening.

Hogan turned heel and it changed the face of wrestling and Austin turned heel twice

Besides, Cena is too busy with Edge to turn heel

 

The next big PPV is Survivor Series and assuming they're doing teams this year, I would expect a McMahon group(nWo) vs. a DX group. I mean it's the only logical reason why this storyline hasn't ended. I wouldn't expect it to go any longer after that.

I loved how the preview has NO matches annouced at all. Its going to be full of DX vs Mcmahon crap and just a reminder, for those on the west coast, Raw will be on USA.

I think Hunter will have to have Vince committed and stage a hostile takeover of the company to get them to end this feud.

[Guest Connzilla]

I hope the nWo doesn't come back that would be the worst

[cabbageboy 0]

Here's the question however: If the NWO does in fact come back who will be in it? Not sure I can see Hogan in it. Scott Hall is probably off drunk somewhere (and he looked awful the last time I saw him on TNA). Nash perhaps but I'm not sure what his status with TNA is at the moment.

Nash is a free agent last I heard. His last obligation to TNA was the last PPV. He is injured however.

I guess you could throw Waltman with Nash. We all know about the MSG curtain call, so that could play into the storyline, something like Nash and Waltman never got over the fact that HHH and HBK stayed in the WWE/F?

[Guest Godlike]

That'd be a cool way to end it: DX drive Vince into the loony bin and take over WWE from Shane.

 

I'd figured they were gonna do some angle about Vince's mental health, dunno if it'll happen though.

[Guest droptoehold]

what other continuous "main angle" has been this boring?

Edge vs Cena

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton (#1 IC title contender) and Torrie vs Candice (a "Back to School Girl Paddle on a Pole Match") have been added.

[Just John 0]

Another #1 contender's match for the IC belt? And Orton and Jeff Hardy are in it? I feel like I've gone back to 2003. Then agian, Raw in 2003 is much better than Raw in 2006.

[snuffbox 0]

I'll be taking a shot for every blown spot and resthold in the Hardy-Orton match...who's with me?

Unless you have a satellite operator that broadcasts on East Coast time, like I do.......

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton (#1 IC title contender)....

Randy can distract Jeff with drugs and hit the RKO.

[The Niggardly King 0]

That match is going to be an epic trainwreck.

Actually Raw will be on SciFi at 9 pm in San Diego, then again on USA at 11 pm.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

I hope:

 

1. There are "Sci Fi Elements" added to the show. SPACE ALIENS!

 

2. Randall jobs to the junkie.

[hyperchord24 0]

RAW needs more Nitro. Never thought I'd be saying that

YOU'RE KIDDING!!!

If Orton goes over Hardy, I'd be pissed. what a way to kill a huge comeback than to loose to Randy Fucking Orton. Hardy as IC Champion would be huge IMO and would really make his return worth it.

 

other than that, and maybe an appearence by Kane. I couldn't give a fuck about anything else on Raw right now.

[Hawk 34 0]

"Huge comeback"? Jeff Hardy isn't going to be around by 2007, so they should get as much out of Jeff Hardy that they can before he self-destructs again (and he will), however...claiming that winning the IC would be "huge" is a foolish thing to say.

[TheFranchise 0]

Especially as he's a former Intercontinental champion.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

I think Edge will do a "sick" gimmick since WWE.com ran a big story last Tuesday about how the water he was thrown into used to be heavily contaminated and is still really dirty.

[TheFranchise 0]

Anyone going to prodict what the biggest 'shock' (and I use that term loosely) is going to be tonight?

That reminds me of the WGTT calling in sick when Angle returned to SmackDown.

 

Wrestlers calling in sick = fun idea.

Seeing as how Orton has already been a World Champ, being the IC champ would be a major step down for him; almost as much as when Flair won the IC Title. Besides, a Nitro/Hardy match would be far more intense and spot-filled than a Nitro/Orton match. At least they could blame the blown spots on how "high-flying" and risk-taking they both are.

[Taker666 0]

Ok, maybe I overexagerated, but putting the IC Title on Hardy would be a good move IMO sence hes really the only real contender at the moment. Carlito and Orton seem to be starting a feud as well as Umaga and Kane, and Benjamin is nowhere to be found. besides, I think the fans would love Hardy as IC Champion and I wouldn't mind that at all.

 

A Nitro/Hardy match would damn good. no denining that.
