9/14 RAW Discussion Thread

I f'n called Batista going to SD! I don't like it, but I called it.

Nothing really groundbreaking last night, but it was a decent show. Ted Dibiase v Michaels was the best thing on the show (Despite the DQ finish), and I already find myself being more entertained with Ted's matches than I ever have with Orton's matches.

By the way.

Trish as a brunette >>>>>> Trish as a blonde.

Trish looked fuckin delicious...more so than ever before.
I think most called Batista going to Smackdown...I'm quite pissed about it but I think they could have done it differently.
Said that would be his last match on RAW...make it look as if he's retiring..got all emotional, then showed up on Smackdown.
He just kind of blurted it out "Uhhh, I'm goinz to SMEKCDAWN DUMMY!"

Raw was a decent show i thought. Loved HBK/Ted was good match, and Legacy are really looking good now. Mainly due to there feud with DX.

Kofi/swagger/lito/Miz was OK ad some good points. Miz walking off with belt was good.

HBK/Ted really good match, Ted looked good through out the match. Hbk is just fucking awesome period. He sells like a no one else. The ending was good to. Legacy have really took off now with nice little rub from HHH/HBK.

Chavo/Carlito vs Bourne/Horny wasn't really a bad match i just wasn't into. IMO i think it's a waste of Bourne and Chavo's talent TBH. And it's gone on too long.

Trish/MVP vs Glamicho wasn't bad. Was what it was a quick match to involve Trish, Who by the way looked good in the ring. I like her prob only one of a few divas that i actually do like.

Tista/Orton horrible squash fest. Just made Orton look like a weak bitch. But thats Tista all over get injured come back squash whoever is big in the ME at the time. It wouldn't have been so bad if Orton looked a little bit credible but he didn't he just got punked like some random jobber.And it was no holds barred and tista never used anything really just himself so that made Orton look even more weak. Wouldn't have looked so bad for Orton if he had been battered with chairs, sticks bins etc. But no just The animal batista.(shakes head) Shame thats two night in a row. He may have owned Cena for 99.9% of the match at BP but the finish was crap and made Orton look like a bitch. Then Tista comes back steamrolls all over him the next night without him even really mounting any sort of fight back.

RAW was decent. It was some little things that got to me. Swagger pinning the US champ was completely overshadowed by the Miz stealing the title. Also if they are trying to bring some light to the US title, they could have at least brought up either after the commercial or sometime in the show about Miz stealing the belt.

It's good that they are continue-ing the Jeri-Show and MVP/Henry storyline. I was thinking that maybe they would get a rematch at Hell in a Cell, but got to thinking. Jeri-show are still having matches with Cryme Tyme on SD so maybe they'll have a triple threat tag match, with MVP/Herny picking up the win.

The commentators are idiots. WWE actually did good with going down memory lane bringing up Jericho and Trish's history. As well as Beth looking dominant and making Trish seem like she's scared by saying she retired so she wouldn't have to face her (Beth). The commentators fuck that up by saying that Trish retired before Beth even came in the E. Wasn't Trish the one who brought in Pheniox?

HBK vs Dibiase was the motn. The ending with the DQ was dumb but expected. The after the match brawl was decent, but the excuse the commentators made about them going off the air from one camera man being taken out was dumb. During matches, they show like 4 or 5 different camera angles maybe more, meaning 4 or more different camera's. And thats at ring side alone. Why is it that one camera gets taken out and everything goes out.

Batista's annoucement was lackluster. I'm really hoping that they give sometime of explaination on SD about why he moved.

Finally the end of Hornswaggle and Chavo. Rediculous that this program hurt the credibilty of 3 guys with potential. 1st off it killed Chavo, that's a given. Bourne needed help beating Chavo when Chavo has yet to beat Hornswaggle. They added Carlito to the mix, and he pretty much lost a handicap match against somebody who couldn't beat Chavo without help. And to make it worse, the commentators were going on about how Chavo is trying to keep Hornswaggle from being tagged in like Bourne wasn't a threat and Hornswaggle was.

The Main event was a squash. Rediculous what they are doing with Orton.

Well besidest those small things, RAW was alright.

 

[noumenon]

The announcement was lackluster because Batista is a fuckin ape and delivered it with the emphasis of Todd on ECW when Christian returned "ohey.iz christian."

 

[Airfixx]

^^^Well we can look forward to much more of the same crap every Friday night.

...And yeah, we'd best get a bit more of an explation as to why he got transfered.

Trish looked great, but I swear she used to sound much better on the mic.

Thought Cena would be her partner - Did I miss a segment? ...Was our new champ not even on the show?

JBonez got it locked re: Chavo/Horny. I know he's over, but are these segments REALLY worth that much damage to the credibility of 3 guys with enough ability to make good of a half decent push?






I continue to hate the HIAC PPV concept.


...And a night of triple-threats doesn't sound too hot either (If that is indeed what Bragging Rights transpires to be).

 

[kingovkings]

@ Airfixx. The new champ got a lil promo spot... which ended wiv The champ is here. And a few second at the end to feed Orton to Big bumbling Batista at the end of the show. WOW way to go =/. I also though Cena would be Trish's partner.

 

[Airfixx]

Ooooof.... I must have dozed off at some point I guess.

 

[Dynamo]

^^^^ Tut tut, I do remember you having a pop at me for not paying enough attention to old SD. Seems as though you arn't giving your full undived to RAW. LOL!

 

[Dan Contogiannis]

Good decision to move Batista to Smackdown and Trish was looking really great too!

Just proves my point about Raw! :shifty:

 

[noumenon]

Seriously....Cena is the master of throwing a fleeing opponent back into the ring..I swear I've seen him do it at least 15 times before.
