Speaking of the SNE premiere, did Kane really have to show up in RING GEAR? How fucking ridiculous is that?

Early Raw Preview

The Game goes for the gold

May 15, 2006

 

 

In a statement released from Mr. McMahon's office Tuesday morning, it was announced that "Triple H will get his championship match next week on RAW."

 

WWE.com has learned that the Triple H vs. John Cena WWE Championship Match will kickoff RAW Monday night on USA. Be sure to be tuned in right at 9/8 CT so you don't miss a minute of the action. Can the King of Kings regain what he believes is his rightful place back on the throne? Or will John Cena once again turn The Game back, just as he did at WrestleMania?

 

Can Shawn Michaels get a measure of revenge on the Spirit Squad? HBK will face Kenny, and the rest of the Spirit Squad has been banned from ringside. However, Mr. McMahon has announced that he will be naming a special guest referee. Who will it be, and will they stack the deck against Michaels?

 

And what will Mick Foley have to say? Instead of brutalizing Edge in another vicious Hardcore Match last week, Foley seemingly joined forces with the Rated R Superstar. They ganged up on ECW’s Tommy Dreamer and left him a bloody mess. What was Foley thinking? Find out on RAW, as the Hardcore Legend will give an explanation for his actions.

 

Get the answers to all of these questions and more on RAW, this Monday night at 9/8 CT on the USA Network.

I'm really looking forward to this Raw. HHH/Cena kicking off Raw with a title match is different. I really wanna hear what Foley and Edge have to say and HBK/Kenny sounds like a fun match.

Do you really think they are going to do a world title change in the opening match? When did that ever happen? Jericho's Phantom Reign?

 

Nobody should buy HHH winning, unless it's a win at the beginning/lose at the end thing to just give HHH another quick reign.

 

Hilarity will ensue as Vince names 4 co-referees and Foley justifies his actions by pointing at Lita's crotch and saying "MMMMM BEEFY!"

It did happen in WCW once. They had a World title change to both open and close the show back in 1999 I think.

 

Unrelated topic, is Benoit going to get on the Judgment Day card? No Benoit or Finlay as of now and it looks like the card is pretty full. 7 matches announced.

Theres an audio interview with Kane on Horror Website Dread Central. Listen to it Here.

Benoit/Finlay will probably be on the card, yes. I haven't seen their match from last week, but I presume Finlay cheated, giving Benoit a logical reason to seek a rematch. Also, Finlay beat down Gunner Scott the other week, so they've got that going for them as well. I suppose they could do a tag match, but I dunno who you would team with Finlay. Ken Kennedy?

[Dark Age 0]

Regal would work, but I haven't got a clue what they're thinking with him these days. Or anything for that matter. What are the seven matches?

Rey/JBL

Taker/Khali

Book/Lashley

Angle/Henry

Helms/Crazy

MNM/Hooligans

 

That's all I have. Melina vs. Jillian maybe? I thought, a few weeks back, that this would be the card, with the Benoit/Finlay stuff and Burchill/Regal finishing it off.

 

And wasn't there talk that Shannon Moore's first feud would be with Super Crazy? Logical place to bring him back - starts his feud with Crazy, teams up with Helms, and then they can also do Mexicools vs. Helms and Moore. Then again, are the Mexicools even a team these days? It seems like they're moving Crazy away from Psicosis. Regardless, this would be a great feud, especially if they still had Juvi. Juvi, Psicosis and Crazy vs. Hardy, Moore and Helms could be quite fantastic.

HHH and Randy Orton wearing their trunks just during opening Raw/Smackdown promos is just as bad, since both of them don't usually wrestle until near the end of the show. JBL did the same on Smackdown not too long ago, as well.

[Dark Age 0]

Benoit always does it.

 

Nah, I'm kidding. As if Benoit would ever get an in-ring interview!

if WWE wasnt so devoid of faces, id turn Lashley heel with him being Booker T's protege

Why would Lashley be Booker T's protege when it's already been proven that he can kick half the Smackdown roster's asses? Lashley is already over pretty well, so doing a heel turn would be really dumb.

Yeah, Melina vs. Jillian is the last of the seven. It was one of the earliest matches announced for the show. I think Helms/Crazy and MNM/Hooligans have potential to make this an exciting show, but I think they need to throw Benoit and Finlay in somewhere, along with wanting to see Burchill and Regal get on the card. I think Benoit/Finlay would be fun, so hopefully that will be what they do.

[claydude14 0]

Even Benoit/Burchill V. Regal/Finlay would do. Hopefully though, Benoit/Finlay is added and Burchill/Regal pulls HeAT duty.

On the 26/04/99 Nitro, Sting won it from DDP at the top of the second hour and then DDP won it back in a 4 way match in the ME. I can't be bothered checking out the reason why they had thesecond match, but here is the show report for that show John Petrie's report.

Yeah that show happened in Fargo, North Dakota. It was the first time a wrestling show was in North Dakota in about 10 years.

Hey, I know this is a random comment, but...

 

I was watching my gf's old ECW tapes the other night, and I was just wondering if anyone had a list of most of the music used by ECW back at that time? Its hard to hear most of the shit on the tapes and aside from the obvious of Sandman, Raven.. Dudley's, Dreamer.. I wanted to know if anyone here had a list of the songs used so I could DL 'em..

According to WWE.com, Finlay/Benoit has been added to Judgment Day.

Kayfabe is a joke. It illigitimizes wrestling as even entertainment (as opposed to real wrestling)

Can any of you make sense of these Google Trends searches?

 

WWE

 

ECW

 

TNA

 

ROH

 

WCW

 

All five

WWE is huge in Pakistan!

This one is a hell of a lot closer than I thought it would be:

 

Professional Wrestling vs. Mixed Martial Arts

So, where is this Vito Cross Dressing angle going to go?

So, where is this Vito Cross Dressing angle going to go?

 

You know that Vince caught wind that Vito from 'The Sopranos' is a gay character and found out he has a worker named Vito and decided that obviously gay people only dress in drag.

I like how they had Orlando Jordan be the guy to tell Nunzio about it.

Until you go to "Regions" and MMA is just destroying pro wreslting down the line.

THere we go, Vito's new theme:

 

"Step through the time warp agaaain!"

But if you shorten it to "pro wrestling" it's not even close. I'd imagine more people would search "mma" but that doesn't limit it to "mixed martial arts"

Whatever happened to Orlando's bi angle?

Pretty sure it was dropped.

 

(Even if it wasn't, it's a pretty safe answer to give to these queries.)
