"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.

Heh there was so much crap flying around during that ECW segment

Bischoff was the only one raping and pillaging ECW eh Vince? So i guess the Dudley's, Tazz, Austin, Franchise etc were all a figment of the imagination in a WWE ring then.
Vince bankrolled ECW? If so then why were guys not being paid for 6 months then?
And i'm pretty sure i read somewhere in legal terms the ECW brand was around longer than WCW so Bischoff didn't kill it. .

I was thinking that this week was similar to the Randy Orton expulsion from Evolution. Although Batista has already left Evolution, the way that Ric Flair came out and helped Batista retain the title (as the rest of Evolution did to Orton during the Benoit rematch on the RAW after Summerslam) and then after they retained the title they got beat up by the remainder of Evolution, as is what happpened this week.

*****SPOILERS*







So let me get this straight, for the past month or so Edge has been built up as super heel only for him to lose a title match and get bumped out the way for HHH vs Batista AGAIN? (where he'll get his old buddy Dave to hand over the title for world title reign number 11, makes a change from losing it and regaining it from Michaels i suppose) HHH must be the only guy in history to lose 3 matches straight yet jump straight back into number 1 contention.
And for god sake WWE stop teasing the Flair turn, not only does it make Christian insulting him these past weeks pointless but it also means that if Flair does eventually turn and stops crapping on his legacy by being HHH's lapdog no one will really give a toss thanks to it being teased about a million times. So instead of *oh wow Flair turned on HHH, great!!!* you've got *oh so Flair FINALLY turned did he, meh*

And so much for not mentioning ECW. Strange WWE continuity usually lasts a week at least

******POSSIBLE SPOILERS**********








Yeah, I have always liked Batista. It's true sometimes he messes up like "if you see fear in my eyes you must be lookin at your own refekt-reflection in the mirror' sort of thing, but i like him. I could tell what was going to happen with Flair because of the way he was knelt down there and Batista was standing right in front. Other than that it was really good.

What a great edition of Raw! Really enjoyed it, even without Randy Orton. :P The main event was quality, I really couldn't predict what was going to happen and who was going to win. I know a lot of you don't rate Batista, but for the first time in a long, long time I cheered on the face in a World Title match, I really do like him as champion, although I'm not too sure why. At least his skills are improving, though, and he's way over. Great stuff from Flair as well, the end segment was nicely done and sets us up for the final match between The Game and Batista. ECW, WCW, WWE segment was interesting as well, enjoyed Heyman's little rant.

I have just seen Resevoir Dogs and now i know where the whole Benjamin's smallest violin in the world thing that happened a while ago on The Highlight Reel came from.

Terrible joke/line though

and TNA is a great improvement :-D

Now if only they'd get rid of Jarrett

Well, there's an ideal WWE and there's a slightly better WWE. Even a slightly better WWE is better than the trash of the last 2 years or so...

Small gains and all that.

Now all he needs to realise is that people under 6'5 and 275 pounds are still capable of wrestling

Shame he doesn't fire him altogether and give us even less of Trips

I think Vince is beginning to realise that his 'little angel' getting her own way all the time, is part of what's wrong with the industry.

Hence HHH's disappearance from TV. Vince knows that sometimes, less is more, he's just been too blind to do anything about it for a while.
