"RAW Thread"

I've made a RAW thread which is basically for discussing what happens on RAW. Every week just talk about what happened on RAW, I never actually see that much talk about each show so I've decided to make this thread. Whatever you do PLEASE don't put any spoilers in or if you really have to do it after Friday Night.

I think this seems like a good idea but if you guys don't like it just let it die, however, if this works out I'll make a smackdown thread soon enough.

I don't tend to watch with such diligence unless a match is really good, or really bad. Usually when it comes to the powerful matches, I sit back and enjoy the pain of others. Sorta like this:

"What a slam"
"That'll teach him"
"Yeah, whack his grandma!"
"With a wrench? Not even legal!"
"Ooh, that is gonna hurt tomorrow"
"Yeah, give him another one!"

Just to add something. A cruiserweight match normally sounds like this in my front room:

"Boring! Boring!"
"I'll just go make myself a three course meal shall I?"
*hangs head in shame* "Oh dear. I pity you. Why don't you just fire him Vince?"
"Oversell"
"Blatant oversell!"
"There is NO WAY that move would hurt"

...nuff said.

He's actually been around since 1997, and I don't think he doesn't know any moves because he's failed to pick up on them... it's probably more to do with the fact that he's one of the bulkiest guys in the company.

If they say he is the WSM,why doesn't raw build on this? Smackdown did.
For instance he could lift buh buh ray dudley above his head or something

Which he isn't might I add. Won some crappy strong man event hosted by Arnold Shwarzenegger and not the 'official' one.

His strongest man gimmick wasn't that bad though :P Even if he can barely wrestle.

Face facts here, Mark Henry IS crap, he's been around a wwe ring since at least the 2000 king of the ring and he's barely learnt any moves at all in that time. Mae Young out manouvered the lumbering oath during that event, thus proving that he is so useless that he can't even catch an old granny in a ring.

*Nods Head*

Do you think I'm crazy?

:-D

It could be anything with some of the comments he comes out with.

CGJ what are you on?
