"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.

If I cared about who won, I'd pick her.

I hate it whenever they have a concussion storyline, the most annoying was the Randy Orton one after the royal rumble. After his match with Triple H.

I thought they were going to do another concussion storyline with Benoit after his brick to the head in the last man standing match against Edge. The RAW show after i think the Gold Rush tournament started and then in Benoits match against Triple H he had that "glazed" look in his eyes. But luckily that didnt go into a full fledged concussion storyline!

Overall, At the end of the day...

Concussion Storylines = poo

Nope because it meant Krusty actually having to talk beforehand and staining my tv screen with her presence and it looks like they're going to go for the concussion angle AGAIN. *sighs*

Yes, agreed. It was crap, apart from Matt Hardy's music.

Well, at least it didn't last toooooo long. And the girl with the baseball cap...

You mean you didn't enjoy Victoria smashing Christy over the head with...with something glass? Although Todd Grisham... :S

Yeah hopefully it will be better, although I think Benjamin's botched suicide dive kinda set the tone. Saving the best for the PPV.

> Lack of proper time for Jericho and Christian

Indeed...was one/both of them on Heat?

> Nova getting squashed again

Heh. But you like Viscera! :D

> Dud main event

Okay so it wasn't much of a match, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. It wasn't dull anyway.

Well, perhaps my personal interest in Carlito gave the show an extra lift for me.

Wedding segment
Diva segment
Christy interview
Benjamin vs CCC was promising before it started but due to the botches disappointing. Hopefully will do a better job at the PPV
Lack of proper time for Jericho and Christian
Nova getting squashed again
Dud main event

Only good bits were Hassan getting his ass handed to him and Carlito spitting the apple at Maria. 2 segments which barely cover 3 minutes of a 2 hour show doesn't constitute a good show to me

So it's meant to be the top wrestling show in North America at least and so the main event should theoretically consist of the best wrestlers in the world putting on a great match. They didn't and it didn't do anything at all to promote HBK vs Angle 2. That's what was wrong.

To be honest when i saw Christy in the last Diva Search i didnt think that much of her. However now she has been taken on i like her a lot more. Glad Carmella didnt win! Should have been Maria! Although Christy had the energy!

Ashley to win the 2005 Diva Search!!!

Yeah, I was gonna say she was by far the fittest.

*drools*

You think she wil come back as a face? Considering they have changed the two main competitors (when fit) in Lita and Victoria into heels, i can see there being too many Heel Divas and only the weak ones as faces!

As for the diva search, if we are going to have to sit through it we might as well pick one we want to win! i already know what one i want to win and thats the one that wears a baseball cap and sorta sleeves like victoria wears.

I would say the only reason the main events were short were because they simply ran out of the time. I felt they fitted quite a lot in, especially considering the number of top superstars RAW now possesses.

I still can't see how you all thought it was crap.

And what was wrong with the main event? Okay so it wasn't an awesome fest of gob-smacking wrestling ability, but so what? I thought it built up to their Vengeance matches nicely.

Personally...I'm quite glad I enjoy it more than you lot, heh.

ok, couple of quick things:
