:ph43r:

The USA satellite is messed-up. I can hear Raw, but it's frozen on the show before.

It's actually pretty hilarious this way.

Kane vs. Conway was the most fun squash match I've seen in a long time, thanks to Shawn Michaels. :lol:

JOEY STYLES IS SHOOTIN~!!

Best Promo of the Year.

"I'm sick of Male Cheerleaders, Boogers, Bathroom Humor, Semen..."

HOLY WORKED SHOOT BATMAN!

That was the MOST bizarre RAW I think I've ever watched.

From 5 jobbers running the show and appearing in 40 segments, to HBK playing that rediculously funny and entertaining ref role, to Triple H giving a hilarious performance in the main event, to the Styles shoot, to Vince making out with Candice. This was just like, another world.

It was so hanging on the edge of horrible that it was pretty entertaining most of the night. But it was just pure crap, and I have no clue what is going on. I'll officially buy into the DX return rumours after finally seeing HBK and HHH on screen together...and I really thought it was going down right there.

Good show..........or something.

The best way to describe Raw was "Thunder."

It was like....not even Thunder. It was in another whole plane of existance.

And the Styles promo was the shiznit. Not cause it was a shoot, but just cause he fuckin said it. I loved hearing it, on Vince's program. And then the fans boo when he calls them out for being idiots.

That was awesome when Styles threw it in the fans faces. They're cheering him for saying those things about how stupid WWE is, yet they're the same people lining Vince's pocket to see it.

Oh...and I still can't believe I messed it. :(

That's right. He couldn't watch it because he messed it. Shit in his pants.

Shitting in your pants is more entertaining than watching Raw.

You've got a point.

Watching you eat it is more entertaining than watching Raw.

You're a sick man, Plague.

To continue the on going theme of jokes, watching Choate, Plague, and Rowe taking turns touching a dog is more entertaining than Raw.

God bless you Joey Styles.

Worked or not.............that fucking promo was awesome.

It was scripted, but make no doubt, Joey meant every word of it.

The funny thing is as I always mention that I watch RAW with friends......last night I was fucking around and basically said, this is one of the weirdest RAW's I've ever seen. It's like they are making it so goofy on purpose to bring back "wrestling" with ECW. Then after Joey did his speech.........it REALLY felt that's why they did everything last night.

Yeah, I completely agree with you on that DK. I was thinking the same thing all night as well.

Joey's Promo single handedly convinced me to watch RAW next week. I just happened to flip over from the playoffs to check what was going on and Joey had just slapped King, so I was like "Huh?". Awesome promo. And they sold it really well too. Lawler's comments about Heyman etc made it seem even more shootlike.

Do you think it was more effective because of the relative lack of "worked shoots" lately?

I credit it more to Styles knowing how to handle himself with the promo. Yes, it was scripted, but the way he was delivering it fealt like he really meant it.

And the 3 or 4 black dudes behind Lawler and Styles made that shit.

"Oh, no he didnt!!!!!"

That was awesome.

Same for me. Joey's delivery made it.

But, all he said was stuff that was said earlier on WWE.com.

I think the smarks are getting a little too happy about this ECW "revival".

Not me. :D


WWE Presents ECW will fail worse than ECW Presents Itself 1999-2001

The only thing Scrooge is getting a little too happy about is May 19th, when he finally gets to have his way with Jacob Goodnight.

Though I LOVE ECW. This revivial actually gives meaning to the phrase "Whore of Babylon" to me. I mean, ECW was pure in the eyes of the fans, and it saw WWE/WCW as the equivalent of Babylon. Now WWE is restarting ECW just to milk it for the profit. Babylon is rurning a pure love into a money sucking whore.

THANK YOU VINCE!!!!

I don't know where to put these two bizarre things, but here seemed good:

1. I was watching American Idol, and Ryan Seacrest was like "The album hits stores on MAY 19TH!!!" and my first thought was "that'd be cool if Kane came out and chokeslammed Seacrest".

2. My wife and I were just kind of play wrestling, and I always threaten to F-U her. She then hit me with a move of her choice. She hit me with the Umaga Thumb-spike thingy. I about really F-Ued her for that shit.

Especially because albums get released on a Tuesday and May 19th isn't a Tuesday.

I'm having issues with your wife's workrate there.

1. I thought the same thing. I hope Taylor wins now, as he's the only one with the size to face Kane.

2. It's all about the sell. If you sell it like death, your wife has what it takes to get the move over. Kinda like the POOOOUNNCCE. (Which I use on my wife. She normally no-sells it though.)

WWE.com has kind of a cool "live report" from Michael Cole hyping Smackdown tonight. Done in the style of a pre-game report, it is actually kind of cool, and probably took them about 2 minutes:

2 good things about Smackdown:

1. Finlay/Benoit. One of the best free TV matches I can remember.

2. Booker T's dreads wrapped in a towel. Pure comedy

Benoit/Finlay was good, but I would like to see those two go all out.

I really enjoyed JBL's nonsensical and jingoistic promo on Rey Mysterio. "I need someone to cut my lawn!"

A JBL promo feels like a pile-drive-er!

And toight's Raw opens with a life-like Triple H promo.

Why have a 5-on-2 handicap match with Cena/Michaels vs. The Spirit Squad? Didn't Shawn Michaels beat the Spirit Squad cleanly in a 5-on-1 handicap cage match?

Why is Mick Foley turning heel?

Was Mickie's stalker and attacker Beth Phoenix of OVW, or new Raw Barbie?

I'm leaning towards Phoenix. In which case, did WWE call-up Shelly Martinez? Please tell me they called-up Shelly. (Plague hearts goth girls. :P)
