-Sylvan beat Cowboy Jimmy Yang.

[Guest East.Coast.J]

I'll watch just to see The Miz and JBL, but Cena, Lashley and Batista on the same tag team should be pretty fun. I love the way Lashley keeps getting the pin in tag team situations with Batista.

I found this more detailed set, and it has a little more different results. These make much more sense, especially in regards to Rey-Terkay...

 

Dark Match: Gregory Helms vs Scotty 2 Hotty

Decent opener, the crowd was very hot. Scotty goes for the worm, but gets caught with a shining wizard by Helms for the win.

 

JBL and Cole come out with JBL still playing the heel, throwing up Longhorn signals to get heat. And Smackdown starts.

 

Opening Segment showing what happened with the "Royal Court" attacking Cena on Raw. Immediatly Cena's music hits (no opening pyro!) and he comes out to 99.9% cheers. Cena talks about how tonight he has backup in the form of Lashley and Batista and will kick Booker's ass.

 

Match 1: Rey Mysterio vs Elijah Burke

Turkai (Sp?) was ringside the entire match. Pretty good match with Mysterio hitting the 619 and a huracanrana for the win. After the match Turkai stares down Mysterio then destroys him. I think Chavo and Vicky interferred as well with Vicky landing a low blow on Mysterio. It was a long night and its hard to remember.

 

Match 2: Pitbulls vs Idol & Stevens for Tag Team Title shot at No Mercy

Not much high flying in this one. Basically it was a brawl, with the Pitbulls working their new "stiff" style. Pitbulls get the win and will face London and Kendrick at No Mercy.

 

Up next was a segment with Kennedy in the ring with memorial wreaths, he says Undertaker's legacy is unmatched and basically said he respects the Taker. Taker comes out to his wicked entrance and stares down Kennedy. Kennedy's mic sparks like it electroced him thanks to Takers "magic". Kennedy cowers outside the ring for a while, then goes back in to get knocked back out by Taker. Taker posed in the ring with his purple light.

 

Match 3: The Miz vs Tatanka

Tatanka was way over, seeing as how we are in Oklahoma. Eventually Miz cheats to win. Tatanka agrues with ref and looks like he's gonna clock him by the entrance set.

 

I'm pretty sure Matt Hardy fought someone also, but I went to the bathroom. When I got back Gregory Helms had cost Hardy the match.

 

Match 4: Sylvan vs Jimmy Wang Yang

Good match. Jimmy Yang was incredibly over with the crowd. Some funny moments when the crowd was chanting USA for Yang lol. Yang hit some great high risk moves, but Sylvan ends up winning out of nowhere. The crowd gave a good ovation to Yang post match.

 

Match 5: Lashley/Batista/Cena vs King Booker/Finlay/Regal

Great main event. Batista's pyro is insanely loud! The crowd was nuts the entire match. Not a person sat down. Cena had his arm all taped up (selling the Raw attack) and was isolated for most of the match. He eventually gets the hot tag and Lashley spears Finlay (I think it was Finlay) for the 1-2-3. The place explodes. Cena's posing in the ring and Edge appears out of nowhere and lays out Cena. Edge then left through the crowd.

 

Also when Edge was leaving a fan pelted him with a full large drink right in the face. Edge went crazy and tried to attack the fan. The fan tussled with Edge and security. No punches were thrown I think. The fan was ejected from the building.

no new set? =[ It sounds like a great show again, but eesh.. four years of the damned fist, come on now!

Raw has had the same intro for how long now?

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

They jobbed out Yang? To SYLVAN? Christ Almighty. It sucks that it looks like he's going to end up as a Jobber to the Not Even Stars. I still have the Velocity series he did with London. The best 5 minute matches you'll ever see.

 

I was worried with those first spoilers. I couldn't think of a single reason why they'd job out Turkay to Mysterio. The second set of spoilers make more sense.

What did they make for No Mercy?

 

The Pay-Per-View is only a couple weeks away.

 

All they have made official are

 

Booker vs Lashley

Taker vs Kennedy

 

Finlay vs Batista is a given

 

Kid Kash got fired so that puts the tag match in the gutter, probably stick in Idol & Stevens.

 

Then we'll probably get

Helms vs Hardy

Miz should be on there. Maybe put him against Jimmy Yang or Tatanka.

What is Mysterio doing? A rematch with Chavo seems like a given, but after reading the spoilers, maybe a match against Terkay, and do an injury angle to get Mysterio off TV.

If not they could stick Tatanka against Terkay.

Then we have MVP, stick him with Vito or something.

Sylvan over Wang Yang? Who the fuck booked that?

I'm pretty sure Raw changed its logo and graphics and updated the TitanTron in April '02. They did some tweaking with the match promo graphics and also the stuff on the sides of the TitanTron (switching from the weird shapes to the rectangular screens) beginning with the first show back on USA in Oct. '05.

Someone from WWE.

Well, the match listing at wwe.com looks like this...

 

Booker v Lashley

Kennedy v Taker

Rey v Chavo (falls count anywhere)

Batista v Finlay

Helms v Hardy

MVP debut

 

Also, I believe the RAW set change came in Jan 02. I distinctly remember Flair hyping it up as his baby during his stint as token figurehead.

Actually it was the first Raw after the draft. They debuted the new set and theme on the first Raw of April 2002. Between the two sets, I'd rather see Smackdown get the new set first since I've never liked it to begin with.

You can add a London/Kendrick tag title defense for sure. There's contradicting reports over who won the #1 contenders match but with Kid Kash gone I'm sure it'll be Stevens & James facing the champs.

[gWIL 0]

No Mercy could be interesting. They can move Kennedy, Finlay and Lashley to the next level with the right booking.

 

I'd still like to see Terkay and Miz on the card. Miz vs Jimmy Yang would be fun, and Terkay vs Tatanka could be surprisingly decent. With a tag match, that's nine matched but I don't see any match going all that long.
