Slickster Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 I personally wouldn't have minded a Haas/Khali tag team. Gives both guys something to do and adds depth to the tag division.
foleyfanforever88 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Lawler's got a sweet shirt on tonight/ He's been wearing that shirt for like a year now.
fazzle Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Posted September 30, 2008 So from tonight's Raw until next week's ECW, WWE will be on TV for 6 out of 8 nights. Holy fuck that's way too much.
The Amazing Rando Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 So apparently the Wrestlemania show on Thursday is every match from WM24 cut down and into their own separate music videos. That is what it sounds like when checking WWE.com
Mike wanna be Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Jericho goes over at No Mercy; WM X shows it's luckier to walk under the ladder (Razor Ramon) than it is to walk around it (...Shawn Michaels)
Slickster Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 I don't much care for the new DX graphic overlays they've used since the switch to HD. It needs more grainy stripper videos and bridge demolitions.
The Truthiness Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 They need to put these DX guys in the tag division.
fazzle Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Posted September 30, 2008 Wow. What a complete fucking bullshit finish to that match.
fisticuffs Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Cade had to almost no-sell SCM just so HHH could get a pedigree in.
BruteSquad_BRODY Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 All you suggesting Haas be part of the Main event are as Special Ed as the writing crew Would it really be much more of a joke than Cade being a main eventer? At least he fits into a storyline, and isn't portrayed as a comedy figure
cabbageboy Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Enjoyed the 8 man tag tonight but I have to wonder if Rey/Bourne would be a better match than Punk/Kofi for Team Priceless. They do need to get Rey away from Kane as soon as possible and not even think of having him lose the mask. Did they learn nothing from WCW's debacles circa 1999? The finish to the main event was goofy. When I figured it would be HHH as the partner I figured Cade would eat a Sweet Chin Music and then a Pedigree. After this angle plays out I might suggest trading Cade to SD for someone. As the rosters are currently assembled Raw has too many cookie cutter vanilla white boys like Orton, Rhodes, Dibiase, Cade, etc. SD has a bunch of black guys all of similar size and position on the card (Truth, MVP, Shelton). Since MVP is mostly being jobbed out on SD, trade him for Cade.

The Tino Standard Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Huge pop for Kelly, crickets for Candice. Poor Beth can't keep her pants on again. I wouldn't be surprised if the crowd completely backs Beth Phoenix over Candice on Sunday at the PPV. Has Candice done anything remotely interesting since returning other than look like shit in a couple matches?

Pythagoras Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Just watched it on my DVR. What's with Orton getting these massive face pops?
BruteSquad_BRODY Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Just watched it on my DVR. What's with Orton getting these massive face pops? Other than HBK and Big Dave, Orton is the only truly protected star on the brand Yes I realize Y2J and Rey are on RAW
TheFranchise Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Cade had to almost no-sell SCM just so HHH could get a pedigree in. Triple H shouts 'up' at Cade when he's falling down from SCM.
Exslade ZX Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Just watched it on my DVR. What's with Orton getting these massive face pops? Other than HBK and Big Dave, Orton is the only truly protected star on the brand Yes I realize Y2J and Rey are on RAW Not to mention that as of late, Orton whenever he shows up has pretty much been telling it like it is, whether the person is heel or face. At this point he's pretty much a tweener. Even though he's kicking Punk in the head, and 'mentoring' Priceless so to speak, he's still slapping Rhodes in the face, and telling JBL he sucks, along with Beth/Santino for that matter. So it makes since he's getting face pops. It's nothing new for Orton anyways, as that's what led to that horrible face turn in 2004. Hopefully they don't try the same.
haVoc Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Jericho's counter of the Harley high knee was sweet. Has Jericho and Trips ever done that spot before?
haws bah gawd Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Not that I know of, and it really surprised me. Finally someone figured out a counter to the high knee. That 8-man tag was on fire last night. Loved every second of it, especially Kane's Chokeslam/Powerbomb thing on Kofi. Wouldn't mind seeing him find some way to use that more often. Kane can fucking GO when he's in the ring with a smaller guy, or Big Show (see their Extreme Rules match in 2006 for the ECW Title) for some reason.
Brett Favre Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Yeah, that 8 man tag was one of the better matches I've seen in a while.
The Truthiness Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Jericho's counter of the Harley high knee was sweet. Has Jericho and Trips ever done that spot before? I missed that, how did he counter it?
panthermatt7 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 This show was a BLAST to be at. As predictable as the HHH choice was, the live crowd went apeshit for DX. Observations from the night: --I now have D-Lo Brown's autograph --"HHH Fears Divorce" sign, which officials sprinted to grab as soon as it crossed in front of the live camera --I was briefly on TV, since I had a 4th row seat --Rey Mysterio is very interactive with the crowd. He handed out a mask and other items to various kids in the crowd, and even hugged and gave a "mask-to-mask" greeting to a kid wearing one of his Shopzone masks. Biggest pops: DX Batista CM Punk/Mysterio Biggest heat: JBL Jericho Mike the Miz
TheFranchise Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 I wonder how smart the securities get around the country. Can you make an ultra super inside shot at somebody and they not realise it?
Boner Kawanger Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 They're probably directly wired to someone in WWE's directing truck who would pick up on it and call it in.
Chazz Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 I love how they've had announcers encourage fans to bring signs to live/televised events,(as long as they weren't vulgar/profane), to excercise our "right to express ourselves", yet remove signs that may rub those in power the wrong way.

I prefer Orton as a face as compared to Trips. Trips is just horrible. So are the fans. I still remember this year. "I didn't kick you out of Evolution because you were WHC, I kicked you out because yu were an ass". I clearly remember the crowd going ballistic at this point, they went nuts. I still remember when Orton got backstabbed in 04 the crowd was dead. I actually like Orton, and his music is pretty kickass.
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 There was a also a 'Urine Test/Exam Check' sign that appeared right near the start of the show. I hate the spot where Shawn superkicks someone and they stagger into the pedigree, so to me, Cade made a bad spot even worse. I imagine someone had word with him backstage.
