The OaO Raw Is Taped thread - 11/2/2008

[TheFranchise 0]

Tonight, tough love will be taken to new extremes on Raw when Mr. McMahon and his bastard son, Hornswoggle, take their family squabble inside the ring, where they will fight in a No Disqualification Match against each other.

 

Their strained relationship snapped after Hornswoggle didn't win the Royal Rumble Match. The disgusted Chairman insisted his son join his Kiss My Ass Club, but rather than pucker up, the little guy was saved by Finlay and, instead, chomped down on his dad’s rear. That’s when an enraged Mr. McMahon set up the No Disqualification Match with a special stipulation. If Finlay, who has become known as Hornswoggle’s “great protector,” interferes, he will be fired. Will Finlay be able to keep from helping his lucky charm? Will he sacrifice his job for his friend?

 

And how far will Mr. McMahon go to teach his bastard son a lesson? And what is the deal with the way the Chairman is dealing with him? Is he just trying to toughen up Hornswoggle? Is he jealous of the close bond he and Finlay share? And will Hornswoggle, who has yearned for his affection of his father – and a family – all his life be able to strike Mr. McMahon if he has to during the No Disqualification Match?

 

The Strongest Test

In other Raw action, Randy Orton tested John Cena’s healed torn pectoral injury. First, the WWE Champion dropped Cena with an RKO early in the night and then attacked him during an arm wrestling contest with Mark Henry. But the former WWE Champ proved that he’s ready to rumble when he lifted the 400-pound Henry and dropped him with an FU.

 

Tonight, in his first match in singles competition since his return, Cena will test himself against Henry. But will "The Champ" have to watch out for other landmines laid by Orton? What else is Orton willing to do to throw Cena off his game before their match at No Way Out? Read more ...

 

Prelude to the Chamber

And with Jeff Hardy securing the pin during last week’s Six-Man Tag Team Match, the “Rainbow-haired Warrior” boasts a head of steam leading up to No Way Out. This Monday, he will look to make a statement when he takes on one of his Elimination Chamber opponent, Shawn Michaels. Read more ...

 

Meanwhile, what will Umaga, Triple H, JBL and Chris Jericho do to set the pace for the Chamber? JBL and Jericho will write another chapter in their heated rivalry six days before No Way Out. But will they take each other out before they even have a chance to enter the Elimination Chamber? And will Umaga, JBL's alleged bought and paid-for insurance policy, make his presence known? (Exclusive video: Y2J on JBL and their match on Raw)

 

Career Forfeit?

Last, but definitely not least, Mr. Kennedy has offered an injured Ric Flair the chance to back out of his No Way Out Career Threatening Match - and essentially forfeit his career. Flair has always been a fighter, but is his current leg injury too much to overcome? Will the 16-time World Champion forfeit his career before No Way Out?

 

The only way to find out is to tune in to Raw tonight at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

I think everybody has read the spoilers, but just to be PC, let's keep this thread spoiler free.

Probably because nobody cares about the feud, unfortunately.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

I could argue this match has been bettr that at the RR

[Exslade ZX 0]

Interesting commercial there.

 

"NO ROIDS"

[Atticus Chaos 0]

Did I just see what I think I saw?

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

dont try this at home has been replaced..

 

Burchill looks like Val Venis used to look like when he had the long hair.

[Drury37 0]

What was that commercial all about?

[Mike wanna be 0]

Oh good, we get to see if that incest gimmick was a rib or not.

 

CURB STOMP

[DMann2003 0]

Hey the pirate's back- to make sweeet looove to his sister

[Drury37 0]

Is this an incest angle?

Never seen Katie Lea before, but I like what I see so far. Too bad she and Paul are going to be stuck in this idiotic gimmick.

at least hes not a BUTT pirate lol

[Golgo 13 0]

God. Why couldn't they bring him in as the Ripper.

[Exslade ZX 0]

That was a hell of a curb stomp.

 

And that wasn't even the finisher. Damn.

[DMann2003 0]

Okay, I like the surfboard slam move

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

how many people do that as their finisher these days?

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

Roll The Dice is his finisher? C'mon, at least let Paul use the C4. Brian's light enough and agile enough to take it properly. I did like the surfboard/curb stomp move though.

[Brocklock 0]

And, they had to give him one of the lamest and most overused moves out there (Along with The Flatliner, Lungblower, and Playmaker) with the Roll The Dice.

At least the Playmaker and Lungblower look cool/new/painful. Roll the Dice just looks like a fucked up swinging neckbreaker. It would probably be the Honky Tonk Man's finisher if he was wrestling in the E.

Curb Stomp type move should definitely just be his finisher, if he's not allowed to do the C4

 

...Masterlock challenge is back?!?

 

[Mrnoitaull 0]

ok he just jobbed like Snitsky...what a waste of talent.

 

Orton's gold. I can't stand Cena

Maybe it's just that at least half of the indy wrestlers use one of those moves makes me really sick of them.

Might be. I don't see much(any) indy stuff so those moves still look pretty unique to me.

Wanting Burchill to use the C4 is stupid. Aside from London or Kendrick, who on Raw is going (or is able) to take the move?

Super Crazy and Jeff Hardy leap to mind. I'm not saying it has to be his finisher full time, but something not stamped with the WWE Workrate Seal of Approval would be appreciated once in a while.

I love Maria and she looks like she's trying her hardest, but she should not be throwing clotheslines until she's worked on them a little bit.

LOL, Santino speaks the truth about Ashley.
