"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 this weeks Raw is anything to go by, he might just get a bit more mic time and a decent programme.

I know it's a criticism which is often levelled at the 'technical' guys, but Shelton needs to do some work on his 'mic skills' he does have obvious charisma, he just needs to learn to get that across. Of course actually getting some mic time on Raw would be a start.

One Raw guy that's looking really good at the moment is Shelton Benjamin. If he gets a good programme, he could be a huge star. He's certainly got a bit of everything and he's got age on his side.

Nah, that's not true...Eddie Guerrero is good too ;-)

I heard that the Taker match didnt do that because they wanted to set up a title feud between Batista and Orton because Batista should still be champ around 4-6 months time apparently. If they did it with the taker match then Orton wouldnt just let taker get away with it, but they didnt want Orton to jump to Smackdown...although thats apparently what HBK will do soon

I'd say Orton's one of the best on the mic, especially as a heel. His recent interviews have been superb, and he's wrestled some classic matches over the past couple of years. But I suppose Benoit and Foley 'carried' him to those matches.

But yeah, if your name isn't Chris Benoit and you wrestle in the WWE these days then you're obviously useless.

I knew he was born in Detroit, didn't know he was Italian as well

The funny thing, is that Hassan is apparently actually Italian...

By 'talented' I think you mean 'over-rated'. Orton is nothing special in the ring or one the mic.

Nope, that's Nova. Erm, I mean Simon Dean.
