1/18 RAW Discussion...GOSH!

[Wrestling Station]

It's really looking like the Rumble winner will be facing Taker this year. This could be the strongest indication that Taker may be leaving, that would be putting a ton of focus on Taker to have HBK, HHH, Cena, Batista and Big Show all gunning for a shot to face him.

it seems that Batista will finally get his rematch :shifty:

I think there will be a huge twist in the hbk/taker angle that will lead to several mini feuds.

I have a feeling that "ELIMINATION CHAMBAAAH" will be even more pointless than ever this year.

That was the shittiest Raw I have seen since...idk...all of 2009.

What a shitty DVD that looks like btw.

I love the little taste we got of classic heel HHH.

 

[Dynamo]

I actually didn't mind RAW at all. There was a decnt amount of wrestling. Orton Masters was preety good. Cena/ Kofi v Legacy was 2. The Miz seg was good, (I actually found Header to be quite funny).

I saw the Tripple H thing coming at the beg of the show, but nevertheless, still enjoyable.

Must admit, suprised people hated so much, Thought the show was decent.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

I agree, the show has been improving in the last couple of weeks and I am surprised with all the hate. However, to say the amount of wrestling was decent is not really accurate, in fact, more wrestling is something they need to make Raw great instead of good as it has been as of late.

I thought it was an OK show if I'm honest i didn't mind it. I gotta say i loved the tiny little bit of what we got of HHH been a bit heelish and his music hitting was mint. I really hope we actually get a heel HHH out of this that would own. Looks like the rumble is going to be full of the usual Main Eventers HHH,HBK Cena etc. I will say that I'm actually looking forward to what happens HHH and HBK in the weeks to come. And I'm looking forward to the rumble. I think some kind of swerve/Surprise regarding Taker and Mania is in the pipeline, I dont think it's going to be that straight forward. It may well end up Cena winning rumble and challenging The dead man. Hmmmmmm the possibilities. I REALLY REALLY dont want Tista/Taker though.

So did everybody else watching the show.

Raw's still just kinda there for me. There's some bright spots but some dim spots.

Positives:
-The Royal Rumble finally getting some main event focus.
-The Miz in a pretty big role, at least for this week.
-Good mid card tag team match with Legacy/Cena/Kofi that advanced the Legacy break up storyline.
-Maryse
-Orton hitting the two most random RKOs two weeks running. The Kofi RKO last week was a mess up and this week seemed out of place or just mistimed.

Negatives:
-Predictability
-The Big Show still in the company
-The Undertaker saying 'No' to HBK. Makes him look like a pussy and scared to face Michaels at WM.
-Michaels not taking the Taker Match TONIGHT~!
-Vince McMahon still getting airtime yet he is about a decade past him truly being over.

There's more but I'm lazy.

I don't think so. It made him look like he was superior and he questioned why should he give HBK a second chance. Also, he challenged him to a match that night so it really didn't make him look scared tbh.

So last weeks sweet MVP/Miz segment goes to waste... Then again Big show could always muscle in and make it a triple threat.... 'wow'!

...Expect a throw-away US title match on Raw at some point.

Oh, and anyone else think Finlay would be justified in being a bit sore at them giving his finisher's name to Seamus's rendition of The Razors Edge?

All that 'I can knock 'x' out of the ring' shit is bullshit... Happens week in week out in virtually every match at some point. Without the raw, free-for-all and endurance factors of the actual RR match it means nothing.

Raw was mediocre at best, not "good".
