Thoughts on 10/29 Raw

Mat · 10-29-2007, 11:11 PM

DIVAS HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST BATTLE ROYALE The best portion of raw tonight. Victoria made it. Poor thing needs to come back to raw and feud with Beth already

.

HARDCORE HOLLY & CODY RHODES vs. World's Greatest Tag Team Didnt see this match, watched another show in its place.

THE COACH vs. HORNSWOGGLE Meh, waste of time

PAUL LONDON vs. CADE Good but short

JEFF HARDY & D.H. SMITH vs. CARLITO & MR. KENNEDY Decent match. D.H.Smith has been impressive to me. Much moreso then Cody or Orton when he was new. Hopefully they dont toss him on the backburner.

RANDY ORTON & UMAGA vs. TRIPLE H Didnt see it, came online instead.

Overall raw was mixed. Its pretty much the same old crap week end and week out. I am not to excited for Austin next week as it will be the same old with him.

**Gumby** · 10-29-2007, 11:35 PM

The only enjoyable parts of Raw for me were Victoria in the Diva Battle Royal (Torrie should have won it, but god damn Kelly Kelly is hot), and Santino. His promo was one of the funniest things they've done in years.

"Open a can of ass-whip, stomp a mud pie, and eat some low fat frozen yogurt."
"That's the real bottom line because Santino Marella said because!"
"Benjamin Franklin, or maybe Tom Hanks with the AIDS?"

I stopped caring about the Diva Search when they eliminated Taryn and Jessica. Whose bright idea was it to have the winner announced in Philadelphia? LOL.

Main event sucked. It wasn't too long ago that Randy Orton was a cold-hearted Terminator on the warpath to the title. Now that he's got it, he's a wussy who gets beat down every week by Triple H and HBK.

Oh joy, another DX reunion.

No Jericho

**SMG Rules** · 10-29-2007, 11:47 PM

If Austin is going to return I wish they would give him something interesting to do. The diva search was a bust and I'm just glad it's over. If Y2J doesn't return soon people are going to get bored.

Mat · 10-30-2007, 12:01 AM

Og if Jericho doesnt return I bet wwe loses even more ratings.

I read the results and saw DX is back, gosh damn. I hate DX, hated them when they first formed, hated them when they reformed, will hate them again. I was never a DX fan of any kind.

rlm · 10-30-2007, 03:54 AM

wasn't that great of a raw. nothing interesting to even mention about it. man what the heck are they planning for Y2J? i have a feeling this is steph's doing. he was in philli yesterday morning but yet he didnt show up at the event. this probably got so many fans in attendance at raw angry. as i was watching i kept hearing fans yelling "Y2J" over and over. they probably left so let down.

news.

poor lillian.
Lilian Garcia's CD is said to be doing very poorly. In its first week, the album didn't show up anywhere, except for being number 38 in Latin Pop on the Latin charts. We are told that this rating is basically meaningless. Most stores in the United States such as FYE and Best Buy aren't even carrying the album. (santino's remark makes more sense now)

WWE RAW Dark Match:

- OVW's Atlas DaBone defeated Kenny Dykstra.

The main event for this year’s WWE Survivor Series PPV was announced on this week’s WWE RAW.

Randy Orton will be defending his WWE Championship against Shawn Michaels.
(this is strange cus i remembered reading somewhere that it was going to be shawn and triple h vs umaga and orton.)

Prior to her release, WWE had planned to do a storyline with Kristal Marshall where it would be revealed that her and Vickie Guerrero worked together in the Teddy Long deal. Knowing that he had a heart condition, they set him up so Guerrero could be General Manager. Then, apparently in an effort to show how heartless she is, she would fire Kristal and send her to RAW. The move to RAW was at the request of Lashley who she was dating. There was some heat on Kristal for not selling enough after matches and apparently making up stories to WWE road agents in order to get what she wanted.

As previously posted, ECW will go head-to-head with TNA iMPACT on December the 6th. It was believed that since the 12/25 show won't be airing that no ECW programming would be shown that week. Sci-Fi has now added ECW to that Thursday night, 12/27 at 10PM. So ECW and TNA will go head-to-head twice in the month of December.

PWInsider.com is reporting that the reason Junior Fatu wasn't at the TNA iMPACT tapings last night is because he may already be done with the company. It was reported recently that Fatu was asking for more money despite being signed to a TNA contract and management wasn't impressed with his attitude and in-ring work.

Haha good, he sucks. Ive been watching TNA a bit again and his look and style is just outdated. Not worth TNAs time in my book.

I still cant get into Santino, sorry.

**SMG Rules** · 10-30-2007, 04:51 PM

They really should let DX rest because HHH and HBK work better in singles competition.

Mat · 10-31-2007, 01:18 AM

I agree. DX has ran its course several times over.

**SMG Rules** · 11-01-2007, 12:15 AM

I don't understand why there making Orton look so weak. Before he became champ he was just vicious coming after Cena and Cena's father. He was cutting great promos and was the best heel in the WWE. No he's getting his butt kicked by HBK every Raw. They need to have Orton beat up HBK and maybe Triple H just to make him "twisted" again.

I agree, every time he mentions Lilian Garcia by another name cracks me up. Plus he has Maria with him. I love DX but its done twice over.

Thats HHH for you. Umaga was the same thing, even after cena beat him, Umaga had some credibility, but after HHH has mowed him down so much its like umaga might as well be London or Kendrick. Its nuts.

**Gumby** · 11-01-2007, 04:16 AM

Yet they want us to believe that Triple H doesn't pull the strings backstage.

Ten bucks says Jericho eats a pedigree within a month of his return.

And you're right about Umaga. He still looked like a monster even after Cena beat him, because it took everything Cena had to beat him, including using the ropes to strangle him. That's the biggest benefit to pushing Cena like they have, because 1) Cena rarely squashes people, and 2) is VERY good at putting others over during big matches. Triple H just relentlessly buries people, then says we have no new stars because "nobody wants to carry the ball." They can't carry the ball if you keep taking it away, Hunter!

I'm also expecting a full burial of Santino. First by Austin, then by HBK or Triple H.

Mo · 11-01-2007, 09:49 AM

Santino taking on DX would be a comedy classic in the making for sure...

Mat · 11-01-2007, 05:42 PM

Well brooke was released. She was the female with the nice butt on ECW :p

Yep she's the one. Kelly Kelly is really the main one of the group and the other two are pointless.

info

For those that have asked, Tommy Dreamer dressing up as Paul Heyman on this past Tuesday’s edition of ECW on Sci-Fi was a creative team idea.

To round out the ECW news bits, Elijah Burke made an appearance on the Halloween special live edition of Ghosthunters last night on the Sci-Fi Network.
****i watch the entire live event (6 hours). nothing major happened but the best part had to be with elijah. it happened within the last 30 minutes of the show, after elijah and jason hawes witnessed what looked like a person at the end of the hall on the 3rd floor of waverly sanitorium (whoever it was couldn't be found) elijah was a little on the freaked out side. at some point when they met up with another group of team members, elijah freaked out , yelled and ran. he and jason had been telling the others of their experiance. elijah had his back against a wall and was standing near an open doorway. he turned to look to his left and let out a yell so loud, he jumped, practically pushed one of the women in the group, pushed by grant wilson and went running and yelling down the dark hallway. when he came back he said he heard a loud noise next to him that startled him and thats why he ran. everyone was cracking up. i couldn't stop laughing. you just know that his fellow wrestlers are going to be making so much fun of him back at ecw/sd. one of them should even show up in the ring dressed like a ghost. i wish there was a youtube video of this. but i'm pretty sure they'll repeat this part of the show next wednesday night when they review the evidence.***

ric flair says that he will return to the ring by wrestlemania.

For those that have asked, the potential writers strike will not have any kind of impact on the wrestling industry except for the possibility that NBC may use WWE programming as a filler in prime time if they do not have regular shows to fill the time slots.

wonder how this is gonna affect the whole extreme expose/the miz angle on SD.
As for me didn't care for extreme expose & that goes for kellykelly.

Btw guys have u heard the rumour that it could be "Big Show" & not Y2J hahaha that would be the end of wwe if thats true...

Mat · 11-02-2007, 02:10 PM

I dont see big show returning at all. I read he loves not being on the road anymore, he has lost lots of weight, isnt sore like he used to be, and is trying to be like stacy, acting career :p

I want Layla gone. I liked Brooke, she didn thave much character but she was cute.

Writers strike may be a good thing for wwe to be on network tv more :lol:
