WWE Raw Thread

[Axl4Life]

The Orton/DiBiase segment was good too and hopefully it leads somewhere good. I reckon Ted could be a pretty good face. The crowd seemed genuinely behind him when he was getting in Orton's face. He was getting a pretty loud pop.

I thought that was great too. They were obviously using the same formula from 2004 when they had the storyline with HHH and Batista fighting but it was revealed to be a set up at the end of the show. Infact, I think this actually worked better. I'm sure it surpassed WWE's expectations as to how positively the crowd reacted to Dibase. Both men played their parts superbly.

Congratulations must go to Mr. Orton. You've officially just made Ted Dibiase a star.

[Izzy]

Indeed, Orton certainly put Dibiase over - and that's quite a trick

Not yet but he is well on his way, hopefully we get a good build all the way to Wrestlemania.

would of been great to see this after raw went off the air.

"....Randy Orton and Legacy then came out to attack DX and Cena but was abandoned by Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase. Orton was left in the ring to deal with DX and Cena alone. He tried to make friends with the trio. He put on Cena's hat and saluted. Then crossed his arms into an "X" to show his alliance with DX. He was then superkicked by Michaels, pedigreed by HHH, and given the attitude adjustment by Cena."

i just don't think some talent can survive horrible booking

for instance, I cannot buy Eric Young as a leader of the World Elite and winning the Legend's title? are u shitting me? Super Eric is leading the World Elite.. i can't take that seriously

same with Priceless. they got booked for so long as Orton's lackeys, its hard for me to not see Mean Street Posse when they wrestle therefore I just don't think much of them. same as Cade and Murdoch when they were tag champs and now Cryme Tyme.. i just can't take them as viable threats.

Team SD is utter **** on paper. how in the **** are they gonna beat DX,BIg Show, Henry and Kofi

[Hammy]

Some can't, maybe, but I still think with the right booking most people can be.

Heck Rock, Austin and Triple H did, if the talent is there and they are booked right its all good.

Problem with Lance Cade is he got made into Chris Jericho's lackey, we never got to see a proper singles push for him, he could have got over.

As for Dibiase and Rhodes, their recent feud with D-X has done a great job of establishing them as top talents in my eyes, I think they have recovered well from their lackey period, at least when they were jobbing it was to Main Eventers.

My brother isn't quite a Mark, so he still really can get big time into wrestling and we were talking about it and he was genuinely pissed that those **** Legacy members beat down DX the night they reunited. LOL

Oh dear!

You know what to do....

[Hammy]

Interesting that they move Sheamus to RAW when he's in the midst of a feud with Shelton on ECW, maybe they have big plans for him, Triple H did say he liked the guy.

The hosts sucked this week but I liked the show overall.  Kingston I thought was elevated well (until he covered himself in paint and nearly fell over, they quit to commerical awfully quickly after that).

Interesting Main Event for Survivor Series to.  I thought it was just going to be Cena vs. Triple H which had me think, not again!  But putting Shawn Michaels in there definately makes it watchable, especially with the D-X dynamic, do they work together? Will they fall out? etc.

[Izzy]

Breaking up DX again and Triple H v HBK again

god dammit!

New ideas plz!

HBK seems banned from the title he simply should hold so a title match featuring him is pointless

[BlowUpYourVideo]

Seems Kingston's getting a push. One week he's the laid-back Jamaican dude, now he's smashing up Randy Orton's car. He's pretty over so hopefully he can go far...

It'll be nice to see Shawn Michaels in a main event not teaming with HHH. Since this DX reunion, he seems to have been second in command to HHH so this "how far will they co-operate?" thing shoukd be good.

[Izzy]

Orton can't be as bad as I think as he is superb at putting people over...

...maybe he's just so awful you'll route for anyone he goes up against

...but vs Kingston? R u kidding?

It's like an undertaker v hornswoggle match - they ain't in the same league!

[Hammy]

Orton has been on a roll in recent works with his psycho act and Kingston has grown on me, I'm glad they are trying to elevate new talent.

A new opening video is set to debut for WWE’s Monday Night RAW on next week’s show. It’s being reported that the new theme song for RAW will be Nickelback’s “Burn It to the Ground” single.

[Izzy]

I am sooo pleased we are getting a new opening - it just sums up Raw's tired feel

Papa Roach and that same boring pyro have been there for 2 years!

..hate its theme as well - those odd graphics, wtf are they even supposed to be? Flying cheese graters?

For those that havent heard it already - this is Raw's new tune
