Yeah, big night tonight.

 

[themadcowtipper]

Why is it a big night? Unless...

 

[Keyser Soze]

Seeing as it from England the spoilers should get out before the show airs as it is taped....

"Hides and Covers Head"

They should do something about the draft on tonight’s show as both brands are technically under the same roof!

Oh! GO CHRISTAIN

Double Oh! UK should give us all some great Matt/Lita/Edge Chants! (If it airs unedited)

 

[themadcowtipper]

Hmm seems like the crowd has no clue who to cheer for in the Y2j And Shelton Feud..

 

[StoOgE]

yeah, I think they are setting Shelton up to turn Heel.. but they need to go ahead and do it.

Also, Christian is awesome.. he just got the better of flair in a promo.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Christian rules. :lol

 

[evil ways]

'Tis Captain Charisma's night. A time to celebrate and rejoice.

 

[themadcowtipper]

Christian is so Over, I wonder if the anyone in the WWE notices...

Ali G rip-off so true... Christian must have a team of jewish comedy writers working for him,

 

[StoOgE]

I think its funny Christian just went for the cheep heat on the Brits, and they were still popping for CC as the champ by the end of the promo :lol

and WTF to Kane run in?

also. if WWE were to sell Christian Coalition t-shirts I would buy one.

Raw:

Lillian Garcia sang national anthem

Batista interview. JR was very popular for some strange reason to me- I generally don’t cheer for announcers who took place in one of the most pointless/embarrassing main events in MSG history.

I apologize if the order is wrong but there were several sketches throughout the night. Viscera-Trish date (Mark Henry-Chyna ala 1998) but also Christian and Evolution- very entertaining. Big Vis deserves big respect- very entertaining to watch in segments. Can we say Sexual Chocolate 2005?

People turned on the HBK/Hogan segments once they realized it was pre-taped.

Edge-very disliked for the obvious reasons.very interesting to see how it comes across on TV, but there were a lot of pro Matt Hardy chants-Lita should be thankful she wasn’t used- she would have gotten it worse!! I aas proud that we in the crowd in the UK could pay respects to Matt Hardy.

Chris Masters beat up ‘crowd member’ (Andre Baker). Two Andre Bakers in the world-with one working for OVW. Hmmmm. Masters sucks in my eyes. Good physique but so does Mark Jindrak. Need I say more?

Regal was very popular, with Muhammed Hassan supplying fantastic heel heat. I was surprised there was no run in from HBK. Oh i forgot he was in ‘the back’ with Hogan and Mean Gene- funny how the place looked like MSG in background, not the NEC Arena in Birmingham, England!

I refuse to mention Diva party. I’m a red blooded male, so it was entertaining but to think all these divas are used and Victoria is not out there - there’s something wrong about that, especially considering she can wrestle (WWE- World WRESTLING Entertainment anyone?)

I’m not sure again how Batista-Christian came across on TV with the Coach as referee, but from where I was (3rd row) it was very even in popularity with the younger children more for Batista, while a large hardcore group (as in several thousand) were pro-Christian big time. There were many signs for him everywhere. Can we smell a big push?

I’m not sure where they’ll stop the taping. I assume with Triple H celebrating the beatdown on Batista, but afterwards Batista beat the holy doodle doo out of them and posed for the crowd for a while to close the event.

Personally, the show was average to me. No Sntitsky. Wow I must be dreaming. The show probably comes across on TV better, as it invariably does. Ringside always helps for entertainment, but with Benjamin, Kane and Benoit only making run ins, and HBK not even appearing, not acceptable in my opinion. Good sold out crowd though, which were generally loud and lively through out. Let’s hope its better on TV than live and that tomorrow’s Smackdown taping is better.

Biggest Pops

Batista
Regal
Christian
Y2J
Lilian-at one point there was a large chant for her

Biggest Heat

Triple H
Hussan
Edge ]

 

[themadcowtipper]

Then Chris" Master Lock"Masters comes on to make me Hate the Show

 

[StoOgE]

thank god for Chris Master, I was enjoying myself too much.

 

[tralfazz]

Something's always bugged me about the music promotion for the ppvs. Does the WWE really think we believe that The King and Good Ole JR really dig it? I also find it funny how quickly Xtian is over with everyone.

Mean Gene?! @_0

 

[Nameless]

MEAN JEAN "MUDDAPHUCKIN" OKERLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greatest Raw Ever.....

 

[StoOgE]

Im glad Mean Jean showed up to remind everyone how bad most of the interviewers are nowadays..

 

[Nameless]

"You know something Mean Jean">>>>>>>>>>>>>>Any "catch phrase" ever

 

[GaimeGuy]

:lol @ HBK trying to rip his shirt.

 

[StoOgE]

wait, Im confused, I thought that match was for the titles.

 

[GaimeGuy]

wait, Im confused, I thought that match was for the titles.

nope. no title match.

They should have done that, though. Add an extra element to the match this sunday. (Course they'd never take the title from regal in his own country. :/ )

 

[StoOgE]

then whats the point of having the tag team champs get demolished? and not use them in a minor PPV? oh well.. I guess they need someone for the muslims to beat at the next PPV.

 

[StoOgE]

Im starting to think Hardy is coming back or this is all a work.. Why the hell wouldnt they edit these chants out since its taped?

Ironically, this is as over as Matt has ever been.

 

[StoOgE]

these HHH/CC promos are MONEY. This is the best Raw since the build up to New Years Revolution.

 

[tralfazz]

Yeah and is it just coincidence that he wrestles a non-existent Val Venis who has a sister that Edge cheated on.

 

[GaimeGuy]

It would be kind of cool if this was a work, but I seriously doubt it.

EDIT: VISCERA RULES

 

[StoOgE]

DAVE!

Holy Shit, booking remembers what got him over in the first place. BTW, it would have been better had HHH never gotten a pedigree on him.. then when he does at backlash, Batista just no sells it.

 

[Keyser Soze]

This is one of the best shows this yeat, not because of the quality of the matches but the crowd was into everything even poping for boring stuff (not masters though :lol, please WWE end him soon) and the also poped HUGE for the good stuff.

C'ptn C was great all thoughout the show.

Even Big Vis was entertaining

Plus I love the Fans making every Lita/Edge segment entertaining

 

[GaimeGuy]

It would be cool if this whole Matt Hardy thing was all a work, but it would be HIGHLY unlikely.

Although, WWE can still keep a secret, as we've seen over the past month

 

[StoOgE]

the thing is, if anyone was going to use the IWC to start an angle, it would be Matt... however, this is pretty much ruining their biggest face diva, which is the only thing that makes me think its real at this point.

however, if they are going to turn her heel along with Kane at any point, it could work to that advantage.. (though, at this point, I think they are going to have to turn her heel regardless).

Damnit: how can I forget those stupid pictures of Hardy and Lita at a concert together a week after the whole story broke... I just dont know at this point. I mean, all of this happening just as Matt was getting read to return, seems a bit convinient..

Im 90% sure its legit, but there is still some reason to think its a work.

 

[mightynine]

The CC/Flair promo was gold. Someone needs to wake up and realize Christian needs a real program and STAT. Hell, they might even be able to turn him face, but I'd rather cheer for the heel.
