WWE Raw (8/18/2008)

Whoemever was writing the four or shows after Vince was written off, is not the same person writing now. I think Steph is back.

 

What has happened on the show so far would support that theory. Blah.

[Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0]

It's probably a Vince McMahon announcement. Haven't heard anything about him for awhile.

[JustJoe2k5 0]

Mike Adamle has been promoted to President of WWE and Todd Grisham will take over as RAW general manager.

...Why would you stop the match before a three count?

 

I think JBL lifted the shoulder to continue the punishment, and the ref said 'fuck it'.

Except:

 

A.) JBL didn't lift the shoulder, and

B.) WWE precedent is always to disqualify the heel for doing that

[The Truthiness 0]

Your sarcasm would be justified if CM Punk was actually a big deal.

 

Oh, no, I'm with you. Punk and even Triple H are getting buried as champions. Hell, neither mainevented last night and neither have even been the main focus on their shows the past month. They're being set up to fail, I tell you.

Punk v Jericho??? Nice

Pay Fer View??

Uh.....that's fucking stupid.

the fuck is this shit

The World Heavyweight Championship is now the Hardcore Championship.

It is kinda sad how many title reigns some people have nowadays. Mickie is already a four (and more than likely eventually five) time champ. I know it's a little different since they have only one belt they can really win (Chyna aside) but even Jericho is like an 8 time IC champ and some guys have numerous tag title reigns (some with completely different partners).

And you were saying what, about too many title reigns?

[Anakin Flair 0]

It's like the hardcore match at Wrestlemania a few years ago. Could be fun

[franchise632 0]

That is the gayest thing I have ever heard

[Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0]

It's the Wrestlemania 2000 Hardcore Battle Royal all over again.

[cd213 0]

Wow, that was Russo-ific!

[Anakin Flair 0]

oh, goody. Despite being beaten twice in a title match, JBL gets another shot.

[Thanks for the Fish 0]

What a ridiculous concept match. Why not have a reverse battle royale?

[The Truthiness 0]

That was a nice way to bring in Cena.

 

[cd213 0]

Oh boy, now a "let's steal the titles" story.

[Thanks for the Fish 0]

So CM Punk isn't even going to get mic time? Yeah, but I'm being paranoid. He couldn't even interrupt Jericho to start the night to set-up the match?

[Wally Balls 0]

Your sarcasm would be justified if CM Punk was actually a big deal.

 

Oh, no, I'm with you. Punk and even Triple H are getting buried as champions. Hell, neither mainevented last night and neither have even been the main focus on their shows the past month. They're being set up to fail, I tell you.

 

You have me all wrong man, I don't care about Punk. He's not getting buried and I wouldn't care if he was. I just said he's not important because A. A lot of people really don't care about him that much. And B. His reign is like Big Shows was when he was feuding with Bossman. Overshadowed by more entertaining things.

 

 

And look at the pop Cena got...Wrestling fans are so fucking fickle it makes me sick.

[Enigma 0]

LOL BLACK PEOPLE LIKE TO STEAL

[BigPoppaKev 0]

What is this TNA? what an awful concept. Just lazy lazy booking throwing together 5 guys instead of actually building up any sort of feuds.

[The Amazing Rando 0]

I doubt any pins that happen during the Scramble will count toward an "overall" count. I think it'll only matter if someone other than Punk wins.

[slimm44 0]

oh, goody. Despite being beaten twice in a title match, JBL gets another shot.

 

Cena and Batista have also lost more than their fair share this year as well.

[Ravenbomb 0]

Why is Kane still the big red monster? He only wears the pants and they're mostly black.

[Enigma 0]

I doubt any pins that happen during the Scramble will count toward an "overall" count. I think it'll only matter if someone other than Punk wins.

 

That's why Adamle said, "Whoever is the champion when the time expires will be officially recognized as the World Heavyweight Champion."

[MFer 0]

Hey, maybe Kane can now raise his World Title reign length to over a full day now.

 

EDIT: Or not, unless he has the title at the end.

[franchise632 0]

My wife looked at the TV and says "of course they make the black people steal stuff"

[The Truthiness 0]

If the title didn't change hands during the match, that would be an awesome concept. If Punk can keep the title the whole 20 minutes, it will be a huge success, but he won't.
