OaO Monday Night Raw thread 12/15/2008

[RepoMan]

Kofi and Punk get rematch vs. Miz and Morison after big houseshow tag title win, Jillian and Beth Phoenix vs. Kelly Kelly and Melina, per WWE.com.

[ChrisMWaters]

Jillian should get Stephanie McMahon to do a duet with her.

 

Guessing that Regal is still recovering from the Flu, hence why he hasn't been on the show the past few weeks.

[Anubis]

At least last week he was there watching the semi-finals. He would have fit to be there yesterday, but he wasnt. I'd expect him cutting a promo tonight, though. The Punk/Regal thing has to heat up now if they want to play it out at the Rumble...

 

by the way: ChrisMWaters, your sig is plain awesome...!

Was him watching last week on TV?

 

I was there live and don't remember seeing him there.

"...They cut to the back where William Regal watched the match on a monitor with Leyla next to him...." (http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TV_Reports_9/article_28449.shtml)

"...They again showed Regal and Layla backstage...." (http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TV_Reports_9/article_28451.shtml)

 

Okay, now that explains why you didn't see it while I did. We're both right then.

PWInsider is reporting that Tyson Tomko is backstage at Raw. Christian is not.

So is Jimmy Snuka and Kevin Thorne

Don't forget Mae Young.

 

I was joking about the last one, I hope.

[garfieldsnose]

Goldberg is also rumored to be backstage. The Rock is also scheduled to be backstage. In addition, Ahmed Johnson and Crush are set to make their returns tonight.

[Prophet of Mike Zagurski]

Uh Crush is dead.

[LaParkaMarka]

Reports indicate that former world champion Georg Hackenschmidt was spotted backstage.

[garfieldsnose]

Uh Crush is dead.

 

Meltz must have lied, then.

[lee_hero]

Uh Crush is dead.

 

 

uh... he meant K-Krush, aka K-Kwik, aka Ron Killings, aka R-Truth

[MillenniumMan831]

Crush being dead is just one of those wrestling tall tales like how Vince has been trying to get Bret Hart to do a 3-disc dvd set and WWE making the Hall of Fame induction ceremony an annual event.

[Quit Calling My Mama]

Divas tag match...damnit....when she came out i was hoping for a 20 min Kelly Kelly promo to kick off the show

[ChrisMWaters]

So...

 

Is the Beth Phoenix Superfan going to have a Mickie James like relationship with Beth soon, jealous of Santino being with her?

[ChrisMWaters]

(singing)Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme...Kelly and the Kane...

[JoeDirt]

Agreed about Beth and her fan.

 

So they're doing something with Kane and Kelly Kelly? Odd.

[Thanks for the Fish]

I think Kane just wants to be a fan favorite, rather than specifically saving Kelly Kelly. He was just making the save for the face in peril...

[ChrisMWaters]

Jamie and D-Lo make it to Raw!

[JoeDirt]

Snuka Jr add Legacy stable, sweet!!!!

 

Sim Snuka?

[ChrisMWaters]

Ah, so they're Dropping the Deuce.

 

...Sim Snuka?

 

Sounds like a Will Wright wrestling game.

[cd213]

Snuka Jr add Legacy stable, sweet!!!!

 

Sim Snuka?

 

I can dig that.

[Exslade ZX]

Snuka Jr add Legacy stable, sweet!!!!

 

Sim Snuka?

 

I can dig that.

I'm personally not a fan of the name, I mean really, Sim? And it's not his 'real' real name so I have to wonder why it was chosen. And did they have to give him the most jobber looking attire ever for the moment?

 

Sim and Manu? Unique at least I suppose.

[JPopStarKami]

Knox's finisher is so terrible...

[YourKock'sReallyGreat]

Can Mike Knox please get a new finisher. His move looks beyond retarded.

[Thanks for the Fish]

Okay I missed the Snuka entrance - was it explained that he's the former Deuce, or is he supposed to be a debuting wrestler? Also is he in the Legacy, or was it a tryout of sorts?

Watch you mouths! Don't make me get the soap.

[JoeDirt]

He was announced as Deuce and then got on the mic and said he wanted to be known by his "real" name.

 

Odd RAW so far.

[YourKock'sReallyGreat]

He didn't have an entrance. They introduced him as Deuce and he grabs the mic and says that he is Snukas son and he wants to go by the name of Sim Snuka. Rhodes and Manu were just out there watching the match. They never said anything about Snuka being with legacy.
