"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.

fair point. wrestling fans are way fickle, you can get anyone over by putting them against the right people.

as long as they're willing to aid them in getting over of course.. are you listening HHH, Bob Holly, etc??

A few angles with HHH and La Resistance would make the crowd cheer for anyone. Let's see how he does against the likes of Edge or someone like that

Martel vs HBK, Summerslam 92. i enjoyed that. it had good commentary.
and let's wait until we see Masters work before we tar him with the SAB brush shall we?

i bet he is though ;)

agreed. a horrible, HORRIBLE gimmick.
yet another anti-USA gimmick would've been painful enough by itself, without the terrorist implications.

dude, have you watched raw at all lately? batista is hella over.
FAR too soon for him though, he has a lot of improving to do, but being real life mates with HHH has it's perks. of course, he's already 37 so he needs to start racking up the accolades. awesome physique though, great look and his all-round work is improving but world champ material? not yet, spinebusters will only get you so far.

personalyy, i hope Edge gets a title run soon. i can see him feuding with batista though so maybe it'll be post WM, but something needs to happen soon or he'll be a perennial "chaser" and with his neck already a bit boned, he also needs to get it done quickly. the difference is, work-wise: he's ready.

I like the music as well. Gonna have to get the Alter Bridge album. Dunno if that songs on it though.. :P

i like his music, that's about it :-D

Meh...he seems to have lost a lot since he split up with Christian.

Edge is good. Although he was crap as a face. :D

Don't really like Edge, I hope he never becomes champion.

Kawada, what can I day? The writers are crap, end of.

Hopefully Edge will become champion this week...

...Shame. Its really unlikely that its gonna happen. Almost impossible with the match being on RAW and Triple H being the champ. :D

how can you forget 9/11 was 'bad'? It's a stupid offensive angle that should be pulled, especially when that hypocrite Vince goes to Iraq tells the troops how much the WWE loves them then the next week gets Hassan to run his mouth off calling his biggest market a bunch of racists. No wonder the WWE is at one of its lowest points ever. Pushing crap wrestlers doesn't help but then so doesn't idiotic decisions like that
