raw 5/14

[Smokinblues]

here we go. hopefully anything involving khali will be short, unless it's a promo.

[Smokinblues]

this may be as subdued as i've ever seen cena.

[Briomega]

Hey it's Cena vs. Andre... bleh.

Crowd is behind him, though, so there's that.

the problem is that no matter how awesome cena's promos are to tell the story, no matter how much he sells us on it like he just did...it's still fucking khali who can't do anything at all. it's just a no win situation.

[Briomega]

A translator...but that takes away the funny. :(

[Smokinblues]

only a little. and they kept the beat down short enough that he didn't fuck up. but I can't imagine how they'll get a 12-15 minute match out of him and Cena.

[lonesomefool]

Instead of having a translator, why dont they just have Davari come to Raw and become his manager again. I suppose they dont want Davairi around as it would be to close to Umaga/Alejandro.

[lonesomefool]

I wonder if the fans will be able to smell the Great Khali in the ring come Judgement Day? It's gonna be shit, so I can only assume they are gonna need masks for people to put on.

Great, they put the bad wrestler of Cade and Murdoch in the ring...

[lonesomefool]

So anyone wanna bet how long King's voice is gonna last tonight? Sounds like it's gonna be like J.R. a couple of weeks ago again.....

[Briomega]

What the fuck are they leading to with this? Aren't they supposed to be heels?

[lonesomefool]

I love the fact they are trying to sell the Edge thing as shocking, when the spoiled it on WWE.com and ECW.

Seems to me they are pulling the old switcheroo with Cade and Murdoch, having them try and get the Hardyz to trust them, then have them attack them before Judgement Day or Vengence or whenever the next Tag defense for the Hardys is. I'm assuming it's gonna be Judgement Day unless they do London/Kendrick vs. Duece and Domino.

[Briomega]

Man Snitsky is one ugly sumbitch.

it at least makes the 'necks a little interesting, and is building to a turn instead of just having the match just be there.

[lonesomefool]

Wow, Santino blew the roof of that place......

Seriously, this guy has no chance of getting over.

Should've had him put on a red shirt and hat and blue coveralls.

[Smokinblues]

got a decent little pop for the finish, and sounds like decent sympathy for the beat down. santino isn't having the worst debut ever. just not the best. and he looks like he can go in the ring a little bit. i mean he was just in a match with masters and it wasn't terrible

[lonesomefool]

Ha, Triple H running down The Miz :)

It wasnt as bad as their one last week, but I didnt think it was all that great either, though that had more to do with the fact nobody in the crowd cared.

I just dont see him as I.C. champ for more than a couple of weeks, nobody cares about him, I know working with Masters would be hard for anybody, but still.....

[XSaraXPoeX]

I miss Trish. :(

the way I see it, i'd rather them use the IC belt as a way to help build a new guy like santino than be with someone like umaga. it takes a while to build some momentum. and he has a decent bit of charisma. too soon to write him off.

He has some potential, I'm just saying, no way does Vince stick with him if this is as over as he is gonna get.

And while I miss Trish, Candice is ok in the ring, plus she's hot :grope:

[Smokinblues]

I miss Trish. :(
yeah, but you've gotta admit candice has busted her ass and gotten a lot better.

[Ryan_ZOOM_Turner]

I want Edge to fued with Cena again.

[Briomega]

So the only way Edge can win the big titles is pinning someone who already got their ass kicked by someone else?

that's what makes him such a great heel.

and shawn michael v edge? yes please.

[lonesomefool]

Thank God, that match should be good, will makeup for the average to bad first hour.

[Smokinblues]

yeah. it's a mistake to do it with no build, but it will be a great match.

[XSaraXPoeX]

yeah, but you've gotta admit candice has busted her ass and gotten a lot better.She has. Melina takes a lot of punishment, too.

I remember when Trish was at that stage in her career. :(

[Smokinblues]

god bless val venis, but going into the ppv he probably shouldn't be having a competitive match with carlito. carlito should be killing him.

and god dammit carlito if you're going to be a heel stop it with the high flying bullshit

[Smokinblues]

yikes. michaels/orton on a one week build. I guess that's better than a no week build, but still.

[Ryan_ZOOM_Turner]

they seem to just be throwing that ppv together.

[Smokinblues]

Yeah. I'm guessing once they got past the panic of all the smackdown injuries they realized they didn't have anything from raw but cena/khali.

[Smokinblues]

sweet, they're giving the match 15-20 minutes. this should be great

[Briomega]

Switch back over to see Shawn undressing Edge...yeah...

[Smokinblues]

Switch back over to see Shawn undressing Edge...yeah...
been a pretty good match so far

[Smokinblues]

that was for the undertaker I'm guessing...or making sure everybody knows smackdown is still second best. but a very good match none the less

[Smokinblues]

well, the concussion angle and orton taking advantage that way was about as good a one week build angle as they could run i guess. below average show, good opening promo from cena, very good main event. everything else in between the angle with orton and michaels would have been a lot better if it weren't so rushed.
