The One and Only Raw Thread for 7/1/02

[Guest The Superstar]

OK, Benoit returns and gets NO F'N REACTION.

 

I don't care if he's a heel. CHEER HIM DAMMIT

[Guest M Nyland]

Benoit has new tights.....SWANK~!

[Guest razazteca]

I wonder what kind of bumps will poor Spike take tonight?

[Guest CanadianChris]

Bring back Benoit's old theme. Please.

I agree. "Whatever" is a fantastic song, but it doesn't work as entrance music.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

Last match with Austin

 

First match back with Spike and Bubba

 

 

It doesn't exactly scream Royal Rumble winner HHH...but I'll take it.

[Guest Dmann2000]

YES! Rudo Heel Face Twist!!!

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

Not-the-type-of-match-I-would-put-Benoit-in.

[Guest Nezbyte]

I wonder what kind of bumps will poor Spike take tonight?

hopefully some bug 'uns.

[Guest bob_barron]

Triple H's first match was with SCSA v Booker and Angle

[Guest M Nyland]

Benoit vs. Bubba would at least be two former tag champs going at it..................at LEAST

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

Even better

[Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly]

Pinnacle if you dont like it or you think the end result will suck-

Don't watch.

 

Why watch something you're gonna hate? Stupid if you ask me

 

I'm watching because I hope they will prove me wrong. You would think that Booker T would get the better of the NWO at least once, but that hasn't happened. He hasn't gone over anyone in the WWF yet so I find it hard to believe that it will happen in this feud. I want it to happen, but I doubt it will happen. Booker T is one of the only reasons why I watch RAW these days, and he is more over than anyone on the RAW roster besides RVD. If they can't put him over now, I doubt they ever will. I'll wait and see what happens, but I suspect the NWO will weasel out of doing the job. X-Pac was making a living out of doing that shit while he had the crusierweight tiel. He would put the guy over leading into the feud, but sure as hell, at the PPV he would go over. If he didn't go over at the PPV, he would go over soon thereafter. That was before his buddies came in and everyone knows about his tantrums. Apparently, he didn't want to work Heat a couple of weeks ago because he didn't want Michael Hayes booking him to look bad. If he would do that, who honestly thinkshe will have something to say about putting over a guy who hasn't gone over anyone since being in the WWF?

[Guest Nezbyte]

LOL Eddy fucked up.

[Guest Dmann2000]

So that was no reaction I just heard when Benoit tagged in?

[Guest Nevermortal]

CHOPS!

[Guest Flyboy]

YES!! Benoit chops!

[Guest M Nyland]

Booker got the better of them....he smacked that grease rat in the face with a trashcan....now if only he can PIN one....now that would be special...

[Guest Michael Joel Benoit]

I think they are just letting Benoit climb the ladder from mid-card to the main event.

 

Who would like to see Benoit vs. RVD? Because if RVD gets the title shot at Vengenace and goes on to fight and win the Undisputed title at Summerslam, Benoit could be RVD's first challenger.

 

I got an idea, since the Rock is back, have him cost Brock the match at Vengenace and challenge him to a match at Summerslam to go along with RVD vs. Champion.

[Guest SuperTonyJaymz]

Hey, just be happy that we have Benoit back on tv. woo woo! And this means the trades are actually gonna make sense since Vince was all like "Now we are gonna have to even SD and Raw out now"

[Guest Nevermortal]

BENOIT STILL RULES!

 

GERMAN SUPLEX!

[Guest The Superstar]

JR called Benoit INTENSE~!

 

His first move back...getting manhandled by Bubba Ray Dudley

[Guest Flyboy]

Ummm... I don't think Benoit can spell ringrust..

[Guest CanadianChris]

Jeebus...did you notice Nick Patrick practically sprint over to check on Bubba after that German suplex? That looked SICK.

[Guest Nevermortal]

Holy shit, Spike just got the fuck chopped out of him.

[Guest Flyboy]

Heh... slow-mo replay..

[Guest M Nyland]

That german was SICK~! Check that replay!

[Guest Michael Joel Benoit]

I like the slash tights better cuz it went with the "Wolverine" gimmick.

[Guest Nezbyte]

I like the slash tights better cuz it went with the "Wolverine" gimmick.

Agreed

[Guest Flyboy]

Holy shit, Spike just got the fuck chopped out of him.

That's what I was thinking..

[Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly]

Cut the mullet!
