"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.

Jericho vs HBK was once again great, although I'm a little disappointed Y2J didn't go over clean as is just being used to create a feud between HBK and Randy Orton.

But hey at least he got the victory.

Well another week gone and Kane's rampage continues.

If you ask me I wasn't really amazed by what he did since I'd seen it all before :( Nice to see the King get involved, GO KING! POW!

Yea...Oh, all you Triple H haters (oh, so many of you on this forum :P) should be happy since Goldberg says "he's next" and we all know HHH is gonna lose the title to the supposedly "unstoppable" Goldberg.

Lol, I actually enjoyed the bit I saw of Hurricane I saw, probably 'cause of Goldust, Rosey is a super hero in training - S**T

Well that's all I think, discuss :)

Heh, good stuff there LL. I don't like Hurricane myself but even I know that he's a nothing wrestler :P

NB: Note Bene (sp?) - Latin for take note.

Hurricane is far from a 'nothing wrestler', and for that matter, even Maven has a future.

Hurricane: Turn him heel (huge amount of heat for someone that's so easily liked) and make him go after 'Supercriminals', preferably face wrestlers. He needs ridiculous gimmick matches to utilise his amazing moveset, and needs to attack people randomly, giving each a reason for their beating (seen Se7en? Cast him as a John Doe-esque character, doing heinous things which are, in his mind, right) If you really want to utilise him, after a good 8-9 months of being a heel, make him turn against the establishment (WWE), saying it's evil and enslaving etc etc etc, huge face support, but another Austin-McMahon type scenario would have to be avoided. Get him sabotaging things, or, the old favourite, taking a show hostage. Then he's upper-midcard at least, and see where you go from there.

Maven: After dropkicking Taker out of the Royal Rumble, this guy hasn't really done anything eye-grabbing at all. The crucial thing for Maven, as with any Tough Enough winner, is that he must prove himself to the company, to earn other wrestlers' respect. That Triple H match on Heat was a good start, but it needs to go further. Have him come out every Raw, setting a challenge to everyone in the back. He loses for a few weeks straight, but he keeps on coming back. Soon, he's scraping victories, afterwards he'll be winning by a good margin. Let the audience see Maven imrpove in front of them, and then use this respect that the crowd has to make Maven a crowd-pleasing cocky character, capable of winning matches against bigger fish. And so on and so forth...

NB: I do apologise to all concerned for the Your Shout nature of this post, but I'm not leting Hurricane get disrespected just because he's not utilised well.

A hurri lover should have something to say about that!

I don't think rosey can do well without Jamal. He is like those nothing wretlers say like...hurrican or maven.

NB:A heat thread might be good because sky show that now and a PPV thread.
Also what does NB stand for?

Yeah, I guess but maybe if they layed off those high flying moves and were more ground based, like Rikishi, there wouldn't have been complaints.

To be honest both Rosey and Jamal looked a little sloppy in the ring and you can't have it when you're 300lb+ guys and you're doing frog splashes.

I think they fired the right guy though.

Jamal was fired due to a number of wrestlers complaining about him working too stiffly. (For the uninitiated, this means he was wrestling dangerously and actually hurting other wrestlers)

Jamal got fired about 1 month ago. I don't really know why. Personally, I thought he was a better wrestler than Rosey...

Happy? :D
