WWE Raw for 6/14/05

[Dark Monarch]

Cena's first match as a part of Raw was a total crap fest to say the least. It was easily the most lackluster debut in recent memory. He looked like this was the first time he was ever in a ring. He missed more moves and made others look just plain horrible then I can count. And the trio of Chris J, Christian and Tyson Tomko did not do much better. This was one of the sloppiest and poorly worked matchs from all sides that I can remember.


Angle was a great addition for Raw to pick up. He adds great mic skills and amazing wrestling skills as well. He can be put in any angle and any match with any wrestler on Raw and make them shine.


The wrestlers know how hot is in the ring. They looked just plain stupid standing there in designer duds sweating like 4 out of work crack whores.

1 Question

HHH responded to Angle making out with is wife by saying was no big deal because is " Ex-wife" made out with everyone.

Are HHH and Steph still together?

[Gaz]

They got "divorced" in an angle a while back, IIRC, but as far as I know they're still really together.

Oh ok I see what u mean!

Only good can come from Angle moving to RAW. We get to see the continuation of the Angle/HBK feud. Maybe see a little Benjamin worked in. I was a little worried when Benoit was drafted but Angle is a good trade off.



Quick poll: Is there anyone that actually WANTS to see another Lita wedding on RAW?

…didn't think so.

Yesterday was my little sister's first time seeing HHH with the handlebar.
She didn't recognize him at first and said he looked really old.

Shelton Benjamin is so going to injure himself someday, that bounce/flip of the ropes was spectacular. Speaking of which: why did Charlie Hass try to kill himself on Smackdown with that blown suicide dive?

I kinda felt bad for Tomko having to sell Cena's "barrage" to the body.

Only if Trish crashes it!!!

I spent the tag team match trying to figure out who was the worst wrestler. Tomko! No Cena! No Tomko! (Finally settled on Tomko after I saw Jericho having to blatantly slow down and lead him around)

Did she see Sgt. Slaughter? That was awful.

It's going to be hard to top Cena/Angle with the next 3 picks.

Can't Lillian Garcia be a ring announcer and hang out with Viscera at the same time?

Yeah, it looked slightly worse then his wrestlemania match.
Seriously, fake an injury and get that guy to OVW, he's great on the mic, but he needs some friggen training.

Angle was a surprise for me. Well; I dont want Eddie to come over but I still want either Batista or HHH to go...Actually I want HHH to go. Theres no way it can be bland with him there. Take Orton wit him.

And Cena match was weak though. Christin made me laugh. And yes its betta wit alll three.....

[Erik Lehnsherr]

The best thing about Angle coming over is a possiblity of Angle vs Benjamin down the line. Can't wait.

Benjamin vs Hassan had some fluid offense from Hassan and great offense from Benjamin with the reverse suplex counter into a neckbreaker. The springboard flip into an armdrag was beautiful to. The guy is simply amazing.

Jericho turns heel on Cena in the tag match and proceeds to demand a place in the WWE title match with him and Christian. I guess the WWE is saving Christian vs Cena for a later date.

HHH and Angle interact with some good Angle lines. Batista says his usual nonsense and Michaels justs brings down the quality of the promo with the excuse that he's going to have a rematch with Angle aka get his win back from WM 21. BOOOO!

A nice 7/10 for the hot crowd, Benjamin/Austin/Hassan situation, and Angle coming over.

[StoneGold]

Is it just me, or did Angle basically just completly refresh HHH's character? Course, the only problem is, who the hell is left in Smackdown?

Christian, when they job Cena out to him and then switch him over. :)

At least Beniot is over there. I'm hoping that without some of the more overbearing stars (HHH) there, Beniot will have a real superstar run over there as WWE champ or something. Towards the end of his World Champ reign, he was getting the superstar pops from the crowds. He's still very popular with the crowds, but he doesn't make them scream like The Rock or Stone Cold. I'd like to see him get more mic time and stuff. With Benoit over there, I'll be watching Smackdown. It looks like both shows will get better by the end of the draft, unless the next picks to go to SD are totally lopsided. To make up for Cena and Angle, SD needs to get HHH or Batista.
RAW sucked ass. Hopefully they actually do something next week. Oh wait, it's going to be Diva time again. I'm going to record it and FF until I see some wrasslin' or boobs.
