oAo Monday Night Raw Thread -- 4/9/2007

[Guest robrabies]

Was I the only one who was surprised how fast they shaved Vince's head? It was almost as though there was no resistance in the clippers.

For those claiming Edge is a "top main event heel" - to the marks, Edge goes from battling Cena to requesting he be on his talk show. Yay!

I was thinking that JR has sounded like the video game version of himself so far tonight, it's weird.

 

And yeah, while Candice isn't great or anything, you can really tell that she's trying hard and that counts a lot in my book. Hell, I think she actually puts forth more effort to improve than a slug like Batista does lately.

I hear a movie trailer say "What Planet is this?", then play a song with a guy yelling "TRANSFORM!", then hear cars peeling out...

 

And I turn around and see it's "Red Line".

Since I didn't watch wrestling back then (as I was under 5 years old)

 

Did Piper ever do something like that for Piper's Pit?

Why can't a main event heel have a talk show sledge?

[Mecca 0]

Oh great, it isn't going to be an angle, it's just going to be Mick and a kid.

[RepoMan 0]

So far I've managed to completly zone out of the commentary.

"Make a Wish kid? Why don't I put on just my bra to meet him!"

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

Can I pretend to have a terminal disease if it gets me up close with Maria?

 

So who humiliates the plant ERR kid, causing Mick to go all Cactus Jack on them? Or does the kid make up some match with a crazy stipulation?

"Make a Wish kid? Why don't I put on just my bra to meet him!"

 

Hey if I was a kid close enough to dying that I got the make a wish thing I'd want to see boobs.

[RepoMan 0]

I wounder what's wrong with that kid. Looked healthy to me.

The night is young.

Yes. Also, Undertaker "interviewed" main event acts as well while heading that direction. Fairly sure Jericho used the Highlight Reel during his stint with the main event before leaving.

 

This is just to set up a confrontation between the two.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Shouldn't Carlito have done this "I respect you!" crap BEFORE they started teaming...

 

Carlito intro'ing the Horsemen DVD

Tony Schiavone has the GREATEST PORNSTACHE IN THE HISTORY OF OUR GREAT SPORT! in that footage.

How many of you here actually watched wrestling in the Horsemen days?

[UZI Suicide 0]

That robe Flair is wearing right now is actually one of the best looking ones he's ever had.

I was but I was just a child then.........I'm only 26

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

Wow, so Carlito threw that Horsemen DVD promo together himself?

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Undertaker didn't interview anyone. That was Paul Bearer's set. Taker was only there, standing around, on certain occassions. And the only notable Taker appearances (attacks on Warrior and Hulk) were before Taker hit the main event scene and he wasn't a former World Champion, like Edge. Talk shows are hokey. They show that a wrestler as seen as a joke. See, Jericho: 2005. See, Lawler: 1993. When Carlito's initial big heel push ended, and Cena squashed him for the U.S. Title, he was on one.

 

When Piper did one, they were trendsetting and he was in the Cartoon Era of WWF. Now it's just "throw a screen or a palm tree", since we're lazy and can't give away TOO many PPV matches, so let's disguise a promo as a big important "talkshow segment".

 

I just don't see how Edge doing the same stupid thing he did on the WAY to becoming a transitional champion is a good way to build him back up a serious threat. They can't do Cena/Edge again. Please no.

I'm only 26 as well, and by God I watched the Horsemen even then. I live in SC, so I guess it makes sense.

 

Am I the only one who would love seeing Flair turn on Carlito?

*raises hand* Well, I started watching wrestling in the early 80s, but that was the local Houston fed run by Paul Boesch (UWF I wanna say). I didn't start watching WCW until... maybe about 85 or so? Not sure, it's a bit fuzzy.

He took The Undertaker's class on making video package promos.

[RepoMan 0]

I'd like to see vise versa. I don't think Flair could be a heel at this point.

Its nice to see Murdoch & Cade back on tv!

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

I've read online that the Horsemen DVD is all kayfabe and sucks, if you are familiar with the stable. I'm sure it's awesome to those who wanna see how it all started, tho, I've got matches but not all the segments, so Im looking forward.
