"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.

There's no way he'd be squashing people on Heat if he wasn't signed.
And he certainly wouldn't appear on Raw if he wasn't signed to a contract.

Powerslam Magazine Issue 129:

"Question: Is Nelson 'Viscera' Frazier under contract to WWE?

Answer: No. WWE and Viscera have an arrangement which suits both parties. The organisation brings him in whenever it needs a monster to put over a rising star (see Viscera's loss to Batista on the January 17 RAW, and Viscera's elimination at the hands of John Cena in the Royal Rumble). Viscera, at this stage of his career, is happy to lose cleanly to younger wrestlers in return for a decent payoff"

Although like you said he has been more of a regular lately so he may well have signed a contract

Yeah, I'm guessing he will have otherwise he'd be the jobber. :)

I'm pretty sure he's signed a contract as he's been (literally) eating jobbers for a few weeks on Heat.

I think it will be good to see Christian in the main event too, about time!

With the Viscera situation, i hear that he is not on contract with the WWE, they just bring him in now and again when they want him to lose to make people look good or to start a storyline (e.g. beating Tajiri before the Royal Rumble and sparking the new Tag Team Championship reign, or when he lost to Batista). Maybe they are going to use him a bit more now though

I also agree that Evolution should get two more members (although i don't see Flair breaking out of the Masterlock, which would make Masters look bad, and then inducting him into Evolution) I think Masters could be good in Evolution though, either he should join Evolution or Evolution should break up and Flair should manage Masters. Possibly Snitsky because he is on a drought for storylines at the moment.

I was reading the thread about how they were dissapointed by Maven, although i am starting to like him in this Tag Team with Simon Dean, possibly because Dean is one of my favourite heels at the moment.

Christian got a major pop over in New York...surely the WWE can see that not only is he a great wrestler, but he's over with the fans too?

Great to see him in the main event, I just hope he doesn't get completely squashed though...

Viscera's an interesting choice...I liked his backstage bit with Trish though.

And I STILL think Evolution should employ two more members. Maybe Flair could break the Masterlock and then induct him into Evolution? Snitsky was halfway in Evolution anyway so there you go...

Although Maven should have joined in the first place.

Exactly, shall just be squashed and suppressed. Poor old Captain of the Charisma.

Heh, yeah. It'll be good to see Christian in the main event next week, although I've no doubt that they're just going to make him job to Batista...

So on second thoughts, I suppose it won't be all that good... :D

Hehe i think Trish would be even less keen to get it on with Snitsky

Hmm, the WWE must be stuck for ideas pushing Viscera on RAW... Couldn't they have found anyone better to beat the crap out of Kane? I mean, even Gene Snitsky could have made it look better than that.
