WWE RAW Review: " Well Jeff Hardy is Back. "

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Onto News:

Shawn Micheals suffered a shoulder stinger and couldn't even raise his arm for a lot of his match. He battled pain and all and is expected to be recovered. The WWE feared it could have been a seperation.

HHH was noticebly upset last night when Hulk Hogan out popped him at Summerslam. Yes....HHH's ego was bruised because fans are still in love with their old hero and not him.

Kurt Angle was orginally planned for the Sabu/Big Show match last night. But he didn't do to his grion injury. They are gonna let him work a house show this weekend to see how he does and whethor he should take more time off.

Multichannel News reports that ECW on Sci-Fi is in talks to be extended . The WWE and Network are close to a deal to extend the deal since its done above expectations. Until then they will air it each week still.

Onto RAW.

The Good: We see the SS clips as the crowd seemed pretty much into Hogan. The R Rated Superstar retained and he comes down sans belt and Lita as he's in his glory people ! He's the f-ckin man now.

Edge details that the Cena/Edge chapter is over for now and by god he is DA MAN. He has Lita chuck that godforsakin spinner belt into the lake and deems this era The Edge Era ! Smoke erupts and its a moment many wish for. No more spinner title....then Edge has a spinner R Rated Superstar title.....Nooooo !!!

Edge is in his glory until he demands that anyone can challenge him . He wants a new challenge and a noticebly chunky Jeff Hardy appears. Hardy's t-shirt looks 3 sizes too small and he's back in his usual rave gimmick. I suppose now Jeff Hardy is the Fat Outta Shape Raver.

Hardy does his usual offense but my god he looks in bad shape and is winded. Looks like TNA was wise to let this dude go. Hardy's time on the WWE clocks starts ...now. ( 8 months and counting people is my bet)

We see Edge backstage all pissed and angry as he demands a match against Jeff Hardy. Of course Coach teases making it a WWE Title match as that scary thought of Jeff Hardy as WWE Champion enters my head. Edge declines it and wants a non-title ! He gets his way.

You normally don't see an 8 man tag match on RAW nowadays. Even if it doesn't feature solid mat guys on most accounts. But it does features the 3 tag teams that are competeing for the WWE Tag Titles and its wise to book them.

I really liked the Highlanders in this. That finisher and all is very much an old school Bushwacker/Headbangers finisher and I enjoyed this 8 man tag. Yes it won't sit the world on fire. But hey....I digged it.

Shawn's arm is obviously feeling better as his injury has magically de-aged him futher, At the rate this DX-Reunion is going Shawn Micheals will be a teenager by X-Mas.

They show themselves sippin champaign as they discuss the corporate jet Vinnie Mac flies on. They sort of rename it for the friendly skies. Of course why they didn't paint " SUCK IT " on the sides irks me. Because that would have been funny to see Vince fly on TV. ( SUCK IT....you have Permission to land ! )

Backstage Randy Orton is bragging as usual about his being screwed by Hogan politics. Normally they do that backstage but hell....Orton's not happy . He claims he won and gets solid heel heat here. Then him and Carlito share a moment as the 2 tease a fued as Carlito tells him how " Cool " it was when Hogan won. Orton claims Carlito isn't even on his level and he'll make him pay if he gets involved.

With her time ticking away , Trish Stratus wins a good solid womens match against Victoria. When the ultra babe Trish walks away from WWE , they will ultimately lose someone huge as a talent.

McMahon is in ring claiming he and Shane have called the cops about the " plane/DX" incident. He's braggin how DX is gonna go to jail til....DX show up on screen. Now they are at corporate HQ and have painted a huge DX on it. Now that was pretty damn good. Vince is cleary shaken and all as Shane leads him from the ring.

We see an extended preview of The Rock's new movie , " Remember the Jailhouse Gang " ....ok no serious...." Gridiron Gang ". The extended preview looks like a pretty damn good movie for him. I think if he translates as a serious actor ala Denzel that will extend his career.

Backstage a downtrodden Vince walks with Shane as he runs into loveable Mick Foley. Vince and Shane start picking on Foley who is cleary starting to snap. Someones gonna join the Kiss My Ass Club or be fired.

If this doesn't make Mick snap into full on Cactus Jack mode then what will ? Plus isn't the Ric Flair/Mick Foley storyline still going on ?

Now its time for Jeff Hardy vs Edge. Its a pretty fast paced style match as Edge makes Hardy look pretty damn good in this. Fans throw support behind the fat raver and he nails his spots. Its becoming a good RAW match for a change til Super-Cena/Jesus shows up and punks Edge as usual. Why must Edge always be f-cked over by Cena ? Can't we see new matchups for Edge as the 1# Heel in the company ?

Backstage Melina talks with her friend Mick Foley. He and her share a moment as it seems like its some sort of old guy/young girl moment as she says she'll be his friend no matter the decision. Thats pretty sweet right there.

Johnny Nitro comes down 1st as Melina joins her man. They share a small embrace and kiss ( I wonder if there is a Benoit/Nancy thing going on with these 2 ?) as Nitro gets in ring. I have to say Nitro really impresses me with his ability to really make those fantastic big bumps. The guy can bump huge for someone.

Kane is kicking Nitro's ass pretty well til Umaga comes down to no reaction. Estrada does the cigar thing and Umaga puts an ass kickin down on Kane as fans boo. They aren't happy as Kane busts a blood capsule in his mouth and fakes like he suffered a hemmorage of some kind.

In the complete strange we watch Randy Orton bloody and dismantle Ric Flair for no real reason. My god it looks freakin bad as fans aren't interested. This is a bad sign as fans don't seem into watching Randy Orton dominate someone as a heel. He wins as he keeps beatin down Ric til they reverse it and Carlito Cool makes the save as fans pop.

Carlito beats up Randy saving Ric Flair which now starts the Carlito Cool/Randy Orton fued for now.

In ring Vince is demanding that Mick come down and do the honors. To kiss his ass as Mick brings Melina down. Foley does a great job puttin her over as a future star in the company after he mocks Vince and tells him he doesn't need it. Its when Vince threatens her that he gets Mick to kiss his ass.

Of course Mick agrees to save her job and orders him to drop those pants and he kisses his ass . Ya know....there was a time when I thought Mick Foley couldn't piss on his hardcore legend anymore and he finally reached bottom. What...a sad sight that was.

Melina turns on Mick as he looks on as he gets fired anyhow. If Mick doesn't return as a savage bastard next week and decimate Johnny Nitro then this was pretty stupid and makes him a bigger joke than he's turned into.

Vince brags and walks with Shane as he brags about people kissin his ass. Talkin tough about DX til he walks outside the arena and hops in a limo. Its hooked to the building as the axle gets ripped out as he swears and goes insane.

The Bad
Then to furthor drive home the point Cena is a hardcore rappin Jesus , he beats Edge down the docks. Tossin him into the water at the end as he screams " I ain't going nowhere !! "

Way to go WWE....shortchange your 1# Heel in the company. Make him a threat to NO ONE. Have his ass beaten by outta shape ravers and the ex-Champ daily. WOW....and why is Edge a threat as 1# Heel and why would people f-cking care ? ( Its just to make damn John Cena STROOOOOONNNGGGG as usual)

We see a repeat of Layla win her $ 250 grand as Diva winner. Well its time to lay off Beth Pheonix I suppose.
John Cena's movie " The Marine " is shown as a trailer. Its a decent B-Flick pretty much. But you can tell that Gerwitz and company lifted a lot of the movie from that Kurt Russell flick " Breakdown " where Russell has to go save his missing wive from bad truckers. Just add criminals and Robert Patrick for the bad truckers.

OVERALL: **** Outta 5. The 8 man tag , Women's and Edge/Hardy looked pretty good for a RAW. The promos were crisp and the DX things were new to do. We saw Carlito/Orton start and maybe see the start of Johnny Nitro/Cactus Jack.

[SnowTrooper]

Im hoping for a Johnny Nitro/Cactus Jack match, hopefully it would be a good hardcore match, Nitro showed off alot of athletisism(spelling?) tonight. Id like to see him do that corkscrew move onto a table wrapped in barb wire.

Im really started to wonder why Ric Flair cant go one match without being busted open. Me and my buddies were joking about if he gets busted open brushing his teeth or cooking dinner. Carlito is awesome, hes the coolest wrestler on RAW in my opinion. He needs to check Orton into the Smackdown Hotel sometime in the near future.

Kane and Umaga next week on RAW, im not doubting it. Kane better not job to him and try to make Umaga look good or im gonna be pissed. Theres no better person to end Umaga's undefeated streak than Kane.

The DX stuff was kinda funny and most of the stuff was predictable except for the limo thing at the end. I just figured that fireworks or something would go off. I dont see where this feud is going, I hope it ends soon.

The Diva match was way better than I expected, Trish just keeps getting hotter. The 8-Man Tag Match was great, Duggan hardly got the wrestle though, The Highlanders are the coolest tag team in the WWE. The Rated R belt looks like crap, its Cena's with a spinning peice of cardboard with the Rated R logo. Jeff Hardy looked pretty good, hes shorter than I remember but he didnt look too out of shape.

[DWEarhart]

I only saw the last hour. Despite Jeff Hardy looking winded, it was refreshing to see someone taking to the air. He's there for merchandising purposes only, and nothing else.

Cena's beat down on Edge, while tired, was nice for the decent amount of violence it provided, which WWE used to bring weekly.

Umaga's second-rope Samoan Spike looked nasty when it jabbed Kane. His injury appeared to be legit. I hope not. I'd hate to be forced out by some shuffling worker's thumb.

DX needs to go. Shane-O needs to assume control, let Vince take some time off.

I'm not feeling Carlito's appeal. That back springboard elbow is too telegraphed for my tastes, but whatever works for sports entertainment....

What I saw, wasn't horrible, and was actually better than the last Raw I watched, which was about three, maybe four weeks ago.

It was odd hearing Melina speak. I didn't know if her voice turned me on, or made me want to stick watermelon slices in my ears, though I suppose both is possible.

[DWEarhart]

Im hoping for a Johnny Nitro/Cactus Jack match, hopefully it would be a good hardcore match, Nitro showed off alot of athletisism(spelling?) tonight. Id like to see him do that corkscrew move onto a table wrapped in barb wire.

Newswires around the net say Foley's taking off for a while. I think it's a good decision if he in fact is.

And it's athleticism. Cheers.

[Trucker Belt]

Am I the only one excited for the Carlito Cool/Randy Orton fued? Hopefully carlito can full on fued with Edge later down the line.

[Royal]

You forgot about the GPWA.

[GozertheGozarian]

Edge's new belt sucks, it's just the spinner with a rated R sticker put on.

[Headhunter]

Hardy's body looks absolutely shot, I'd be surprised if he has more than a year left in him.

[Legato]

DX needs to go. Shane-O needs to assume control, let Vince take some time off.


That idea does give me an idea of a good storyline. DX does something to give Vince a mental breakdown that causes Vince to be forced to leave for awhile. After that Shane-O will start planning his revenge on DX by making a stable to compete against DX, which would cause DX to get some members themselves to even the score.


Then the feud will hopfully conclude with a Survivor Series Match that consist of Team DX vs Shane-O's Team.

[titanfan]

Matt Hardy is the older brother? Geez, Jeff looks 10 years older than Matt. I still think he had a good debut, although I think Lita botched the ending.

Yeah, Foley is taking some time off, and an interesting exit considering he has 100% creative control over all his storylines. I guess he really wanted to put Melina over before he left.

I hope the Vince breakdown thing is the beginning of the end of this storyline. It was fun for awhile, but now it's gone on way too long.

I'm looking forward to a Carlito-Orton feud as well. I agree that Flair doing the bleeding is getting overdone. It takes away from the effect when Flair is doing it every other match.

Kane's injury wasn't legit. If it were, there'd be a continual stream of blood, but instead it all came out when he coughed it up. (i.e. blood capsule)

Seeing Trish and Victoria have another classic (but short) match makes me nostalgic knowing that these may be the last time that we see them wrestle like this in singles.

No Layla segment, I'm hoping they send her to Smackdown to get involved in the Ashley/Krystal storyline, it seems like RAW is overloaded with divas these days.

[SnowTrooper]

I read on NoDQ.com that Vince McMahon contacted B.G. James("The Road Dogg" Jesse James) and Monty Sopp("The Badass" Billy Gunn) about coming back to the WWE to join the new DX. It said that since they both hate the WWE and are contracted to TNA this will not happen.

I wouldn't say no.

Neither of them have anything to lose. WWE needs to be contacting Monty "Muhfuhckin" Brown.

[titanfan]

I think it's old news, if it's the same thing I read several months back. I don't think it was for a full-time stint either. Several former DX members were asked if they were interested in coming back for cameos/storyline purposes....

[SnowTrooper]

I wouldn't say no.

We better be hearing some news about Ron "Muhfuhcking" Killings too.

[Arune Singh]

Am I the only one excited for the Carlito Cool/Randy Orton fued? Hopefully carlito can full on fued with Edge later down the line.

Orton needs something new. When no one bothers to mention his legacy with Flair when the two are competing, you know the legend killer thing is played. Orton actually got decent cheers with his promo, so maybe he should take the Legend Killer deal and become the Star Killer, or something like that, where he takes out rising stars so there's no more legends to "kill." I dunno...he needs a new gimmick. I could actually see him fitting in well with DX.

The tag division needs some new life. Lets put some new blood in there, because right now it is useless.

[marshal99]

As long as there's no x-crap coming back please.
WWE needs to get Monty Brown and bring in Sonny Siaki from DSW although Siaki seemed like he's mostly involved in the tag team division in DSW and not so much as a singles.

[cactusmaac]

Only saw a few minutes of this but the crowd was completely dead for the Kane\Nitro\Umaga segment.

[hangmanjury]

Like I said on the other thread, this Raw showed a lot more promise from the start than it actually showed in the end. What with the Rated R Belt (ugly, and I would have preferred a return to the old belt, but whatever), Jeff interrupting Edge and recalling memories of 2000, Jeff actually, y'know, looking GOOD, and all that, but in the end we got a bad match out of the two (Jeff really looked to be nursing that arm), way too much DX/McMahon time, another kiss my ass segment (ugh. I can't believe Mick actually did that), way too mcuh Cena beats up Edge time (no problem with Cena looking strong this time around, as he had to if the feud was gonna keep going, but too much time was alotted to it), Randy beating up Ric for way too long (Carlito should've made the save earlier).

The only thing I didn't have a problem with was the womens' match.

[SnowTrooper]

Jeff Hardy looked pretty good last night. When he first came out it looked like he really did sock Edge in the face and that spinning mule kick was pretty cool. Hardy can still do his Swanton as good as he used too. Im just wondering where hes going to go from here. Is he in the WWE Title hunt? or are they just going to put him in a nowhere feud with Johnny Nitro or Shelton Benjamin?

[Convoy]

We better be hearing some news about Ron "Muhfuhcking" Killings too.

So there's a chance for K-"Muhfuhcking"-Kwik to come back to the E?

[hangmanjury]

I say put Jeff AND Matt in ECW.

You know, Matt says he'd rather be a single wrestler for now, but a Hardy Boyz reunion is exactly what they both need - the reunion and the eventual implosion.

[marshal99]

It can't be any worse , Sabu , RVD and Jeff Hardy are the 3 most sloppiest wrestlers around these days or at least Jeff used to be. One of these days , Sabu is going to foul up and hurt himself or his opponent very badly.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

Jeff Hardy? Yeah right. I'll say this about the bore..he didn't botch last night, well, except for those HORRIBLE "punches".

*Edge had a nice little promo.

*Mickie got no mic time after losing her belt last week

*Carlito going over Orton at Unforgiven and further burying him will always work for me. F Orton.

*Just as I predicted, Melina turned heel on Foley to get her heat back which set up Foley turning back face before he left again.

*Nitro vs Kane? Nitro gets NO HEAT as usual and the match was used as fodder for Kane/Umaga leading to Unforgiven.

*The DX and McMahon segments SUCKED. Just no getting around it.

*Shelton in the background with Maria around his arm? Will this lead to CM Punk-ish type problems for Mr. Benjamin down the road? I can see Shelton walking around backstage at Survivor Series with Maria and running smack dab into the drug/smoke free internet posterboy himself.

*The hype for Marine has started and if YOU thought the See No Evil garbage went too far, just wait until you see Cena's Marine all over Raw, Smackdown, and ECW. Overall..I give Raw a 5/10.

[SnowTrooper]

I thought the Marine looked pretty good. If its Rated R ill probably go and see it. RAW, Smackdown, and ECW will be playing trailers and talking about it like crazy though. I remember when they would play the See No Evil trailer like 6 times a night and talk about it alot. They even went as far as saying that See No Evil dominated at the box office like Kane dominated in the ring, which is funny because See No Evil didnt do shit at the box office.

[hangmanjury]

Does anyone else find this as funny as I do?

[Erik Lehnsherr]

It was odd hearing Melina speak. I didn't know if her voice turned me on, or made me want to stick watermelon slices in my ears, though I suppose both is possible.

Listen to her in heel mode. She knows how to get heel heat.

[Dennis K]

Completely useless speculation: the "throat injury" Kane suffered will result in him putting the mask back on.

[Dennis K]

My computer had a nervous breakdown... double post

[Dennis K]

Uh, sorry.

[Convoy]

Completely useless speculation: the "throat injury" Kane suffered will result in him putting the mask back on.

Or he'll once again use that device (don't know what it's called) to make him talk like a robot again.

[Forefinger]

Completely useless speculation: the "throat injury" Kane suffered will result in him putting the mask back on.
That would be awesome.

[SnowTrooper]

Does anyone else find this as funny as I do?
Oh yeah, LOL, I didnt even catch that when I was writing it.

[SnowTrooper]

Completely useless speculation: the "throat injury" Kane suffered will result in him putting the mask back on.
I hope that happens, he needs to come out with a whole new outfit and mask and just stomp the shit out of Umaga.

It's PG-13. Which means most of Cena's fans won't be able to watch it. ---->flees.

"Cena pwnes! I'm a chain gang soldier!"

FIDDLESTICKS!!!!! Ill wait till DVD

[Donald Stone]

Not a terrible show. Jeff didn't hurt himself, and got a good pop as well.

The DX stuff was meh, but Shawn's rolling around at the beginning had my laughing.

If they're gonna use Orton to raise Carlito up the card, more power to them. Then I think they need to do something drastic with young Randall. My hate of him aside, he needs something new, as he's dying.

Also, I wanted to fucking choke Edge. He finally tosses the damn spinner in the river... and replaces it with an even uglier spinner:confused:

The new spinner thing is totally in Edge's character though. He's the kind of ass who'd actually do that.

And am I really the only one who actually thought Jeff hurt himself? He hit the ringside fence, lay there forever and a day, and proceeded to sell his arm thorughout the match without Edge targeting it or JR mentioning it.

Okay, maybe their match wasn't as bad as I had thought it was, but it was certainly not as good as a kickass promo involving the return of Jeff and the unveiling of a new belt, as well as the expectations that arise from knowing those two's history would have you expect.

[Donald Stone]

The new spinner thing is totally in Edge's character though. He's the kind of ass who'd actually do that.That is true, but it does not replace the fact that I really hate the Spinner.

The blinged out US Title was kinda neat, but the Spinner just irks the hell outta me and I can't wait till it dies permanently.

[GozertheGozarian]

I think the bridge segment with Lita was taped and the belt Edge is wearing is the same one Cena had.

[Forefinger]

I think the bridge segment with Lita was taped and the belt Edge is wearing is the same one Cena had.
I think so, too.


I'm hoping that it will turn into a thing where when Cena eventually beats Edge for the title, he will get a real title belt in an attempt to lose some of the hate that he gets now because of the spinner stuff.

[Donald Stone]

I think the bridge segment with Lita was taped and the belt Edge is wearing is the same one Cena had.The one Lita tossed was a replica. You could tell because the leather strap was all shiny and stiff. I imagine they just removed the WWE logo from the Spinner and put the Rated R thing in.

[BoosterBronze]

Personally, I couldn't think of anything more entertaining than seeing DX go around putting big decals on things. I love it!

[SnowTrooper]

Edge needs his own custom Rated-R belt. I can see it in my mind now and It looks alot cooler than the spinner. The spinning belt was stupid and a boy from suburban massachusetts shouldnt be wearing that much bling.

[hangmanjury]

Years ago, the WWF made a Brahma Bull belt for Rock, but they decided not to use it because they were afraid the traditional belt would get caught in the mess of Smoking Skulls and Brahma Bulls. Now would be a good time to adhere to that policy.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

Personally, I couldn't think of anything more entertaining than seeing DX go around putting big decals on things. I love it!

You really mean that, don't you? You REALLY found that entertaining? Wow...

[Legato]

You really mean that, don't you? You REALLY found that entertaining? Wow...

Well some of us dont have pure hatred towards HBK and HHH. Besided this makes anticipate to how long before Vince suffers a mental breakdown because of DX's antics.

[hangmanjury]

You know, the truth is I just never really liked Shawn Michaels when he wasn't in the Rockers.

I just couldn't stand him from the moment he turned heel (so I was a mark, sue me) up till he left in 1998. I got some glimmer of excitement when he made his sporadic Rock-like appearances, but that was because it was exciting and provided a break in the routine. Hell, i get excited these days when the Brooklyn Brawler comes out. He came back, and I still don't really like him - sure, he can still go, but there's just something about him that really, really prevents me from cheering him - and don't even try to say it's a Bret Hart thing, because I couldn't stand him way before WrestleMania 12.

Triple H, on the other hand, I gotta admit, I liked as the Connecticut Blueblood. I just thought it was a great gimmick. I thought he sucked in DX, just 'cause he always seemed way too high strung as a person to pull such a character off. When he turned into the Game and started really stepping up in matches with Foley, in the Iron Man match against Rock, I really started digging him. He put on classics (and yes, I'd call them classics) with Kurt and Benoit and Rock and Austin and finally in one of Undertaker's more exciting WrestleMania matches. I acquired even more respect for him when he got injured and finished the match. Badass HHH was always cool - degenerate HHH never was.

Then he came back and just seemed totally unmotivated, and he got the superman push, which, as much as I abhor it in a face, I abhor it even more in a heel, unless your name is Curt Hennig. And then his act got stale, and then he got boring, and now he's back in DX - a role which I never liked him in in the first place.

So yeah, when these two get as much TV time as they do, I find it ridiculous.



On another note, every week that goes by is every week that makes me want to get the Edge Sex and Violence t-shirt. It's one of those shirts that I think works for even non-wrestling fans.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

Well some of us dont have pure hatred towards HBK and HHH. Besided this makes anticipate to how long before Vince suffers a mental breakdown because of DX's antics.

Hatred has nothing to do with the fact that Michaels was LAME as hell on Monday. Just like he's been since DX got together. At least HHH sounds HALFWAY funny sometimes. Their antics are so mediocre compared to the Los Guerreros segments of 2003 that I HAVE to cringe everytime I see them show up and dominate an hour of Raw time with their nonsense.

[hangmanjury]

Hatred has nothing to do with the fact that Michaels was LAME as hell on Monday. Just like he's been since DX got together. At least HHH sounds HALFWAY funny sometimes.

For me, it's the other way around. Shawn strikes up a laugh or two when he's being uber dorky, but Trips is NEVER funny.

[BoosterBronze]

The thing with DX, is during the all to brief original run of DX... HHH, HBK, and Chyna were asskickers (and HBK was the champ) and their sophmoric antics was just gravy to their dominance of the WWF. It was a "we'll kick your ass and be ridiculous doing it."

Now, the silliness is the main goal, and they apparently have no other purpose than bing childish to Vince. While kinda funny, it seems mainly stupid.

[SnowTrooper]

This is just a another plot my Vince to get to be on TV for a half hour a night. DX is juvenille and hate authority and who better to rebel against than the boss himself. Hopefully hes got his fill of airtime and will have a fake mental breakdown and Shane will be in "charge" and make the WWE cool. Atleast Shane put on some cool matches in his day and might not even be involved in storylines.

Has anybody else noticed that Vince shows up on Smackdown alot? Teddy Long has a big poster of Vince in his office and somehow every week its in the shot of his segment backstage.

[lboinyamouf4sho]

how freaking long have vince and hbk/DX been fueding now?? i always felt DX was lame. a bunch of jackasses trying SO DAMN hard to be cool is how i saw them, now it's even worse.

what good would possibly come of umaga jobbing to kane?? umaga is a better wrestler, and has been getting a big push, it would make his push pointless to lose to kane of all people.

[Cody H]

I have a terrible feeling that Vince's fake mental breakdown is going to be horribly drawn out and fraught with his own "special" brand of humor (i.e., fart jokes and painfully awkward middle-aged sexual innuendo). Of course, I'd be delighted if proven wrong on this.

[Pól Rua]

DX is juvenille and hate authority and who better to rebel against than the boss himself.

This worked (sort of) when DX was composed of young people.
But now, it's like when your dad tries to talk 'hip'. It's just embarrassing. It's like some middle-aged white guy who's listened to a Snoop Dogg album and decided he's 'ghetto'.

Could be worse. Imagine if the New Age Outlaws were back, pulling off the same exact shtick they did eight years ago.

Oh wait, they're still pulling that shtick.

Yeah thats my point exactly. Thats why I didnt said HHH and HBK because I still want to think of DX as cool and not two 40 year old guys acting like teenagers to give the boss more airtime.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

how freaking long have vince and hbk/DX been fueding now?? i always felt DX was lame. a bunch of jackasses trying SO DAMN hard to be cool is how i saw them, now it's even worse.

How long? Almost 9 full months now.

[Legato]

How long? Almost 9 full months now.

When you have the owner of a multi-million dollar company wanting to get as much screen time as possible, Vince could drag this out as long as he wants.

[SnowTrooper]

When you have the owner of a multi-million dollar company wanting to get as much screen time as possible, Vince could drag this out as long as he wants.

Im not talking about WWE taking a vacation, im talking about Vince. Does the company really need him there watching over everything little that happens?

Hmmm its not every day a new poster joins and looks up a RAW Review from 8 months ago. But hey....its why I do this. Hardy looked outta shape as hell and I've grown bored of his tired raver gimmick. Least he can thank Nitro for giving me months of a good mid-card fued.

By the way welcome to CBR.

I believe he has before. The problem is that Shane seems to have no interest in being company head honcho. The end result is that Stephanie is the who takes over. And as bad as you think Vince is, Vince >>>>>> Stephanie.
