WWE RAW Review: " Who Will Be RAW GM ? "

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Last week I missed an awesome show with Edge pissin off Micheal Hayes and Shelton's heel turn starting slow. This week I'm back with a cable connection and my ability to talk WWE.


So heres the RAW Review:

The Good: Vince comes out and details why and how he fired Eric Bischoff. He runs off several candidates which has Stephanie gettin booed the most. Shane supriseingly gets a pop. I predict Paul Heyman....you have Styles at ringside and having Styles sell that his old ECW boss is now in charge of RAW would be freakin AWESOME. Also watchin Heyman incorporate more hardcore into RAW would be funny.


WWE starts the show off with Kurt Angle facing Ric Flair for the right to fight in the 6 man Elimination Chamber. Angle's out to prove something and Ric's...well Ric's had a hell of a week.

Ric holds his own for as long as possible and even starts workin over Angle's leg. But Kurt pulls out the medals and scores. Then Kurt starts cutting another classic promo where he stats that since no one views him as a Hero , why should he compete for the Troops ?

Kurt's in a rare heel mood as he has Daveri looking at destroying the Bobby Orr and Larry Bird displays. John Cena steps in and slaps the piss outta Daveri and cuts a solid promo against Kurt and to sell his " You Can't See Me " paints the camera lens black as he finishes.

Meanwhile backstage Shelton still angry and pissed tells Micheals he hopes to god they meet in the Cage. That he's gonna send a very bad message to Carlito. This sounds freakin bad ass. Shelton's lookin like he's gonna start to be a heel bad ass.

Whooops....how wrong was I ? Shelton who looks strong through the whole match with Carlito decideds to play with an apple. He loses in a comedic way at the end making you wonder....how ? Do they purposely wanna choke this heel turn or is it they can't really know how to do a Samoa Joe heel right now ?

Backstage we see Trevor Murdoch ( natural redneck...) walk up to Vinnie Mac and sell himself as the next RAW GM. This is freakin hilarous as Vince is grossed out. Then we see ...mmm Candace Michelle sellin herself as RAW GM. The facial actions of Vince sells it. You almost wanna kill Kurt here. Vince decides to recreate Wrestlemania V here and make Jake the Snake vs Rick Martel for a new generation.

Ric gets a verbal slap down backstage by Edge who brings up his current legal problems. Flair goes to take Edge down to which the funny Copeland replies: " Hey now...do you really need to have another assault on your record ? "

HBK comes out and the Big Show is in rare form. Seems Smackdown is so depleted that Show and Kane have to work that PPV now. Match ends when HHH uses his brains and to aviod facing Big Show after weeks of buildup , DQ's him. Lettin HBK go into the cage.

On stage we see Matt Striker who is doing a rip on his old past and Dean Douglas. Striker has the verbal chops and talks about family values. Now how long before he gets fed to someone and they do nothing with him ?

Backstage Chris Nowinski ( Ohhh crap he still works ?) sells himself as the 1st Harvard Graduate to be RAW GM. Vince goes crazy when Dusty Rhodes walks in and ...a shudder passes thru me as Vince sells the American Dream as RAW GM. Thats just a f-cking nightmare.

Whats even more silly is the fact Vince is sellin this guy after dressin him in polka dots 15 years ago.

They decide to push a Mickey James/Trish Stratus Title Match finally. Its about freakin time I suppose.

WWE in a great moment and pretty much validating my feelings on Scott Stapp use his new song/album to promote the show with the troops. Yep...thats bein sold.

Kane vs HHH was funny as HHH couldn't cleary destroy Kane. It must hurt HHH's feelings as Big Show decided payback was due.

The John Cena blindfolded match was freakin hysterical. I loved how Cena did the Jake Roberts spot and point to where he could be. It was a funny match and fans were happy.

Time ends as Cena gets the win and runs Kurt Angle off. Next week the search continues and hopefully someone smart in the company names Paul Heyman as RAW GM and have him get Dreamer as his enforcer and we could see some funny ECW/RAW moments.


The Bad: Chris Masters comes out and well...there goes that prayer. Its gettin so bad that even the fans turn against the match before it starts by chanting " Boring ". You'd think by the 6 month period you'd change up Masters charactor some.

But Johnny Ace is hell bent on gettin this guy on TV and over in some way. But its not worked. No one is caring and its funny. I think Masters isn't our version of Lex Luger. He's the twisted WWE version of Tank Abbott where they shoved him at us for months on end in WCW.

Smackdown Rebound. I loved some of the Taker/Orton segments but the mirror one and the annoucer having Taker's voice was a step..beyond mind games into silly. Yes...Taker wants revenge and his signature match is Hell In A Cell. But its just going into SILLY with some of this.

OVERALL: ***1/2 Outta 5. The wrestling was good but makes ya scratch your head. Other than Angle/Cena/HBK inside the Cage were forced to watch 2 rookies and Kane as well. Its gonna be a hard sell to fans who are gonna be relunctant to plunk down cash to see this.

Also the Shelton Benjimen heel turn ? If he's gonna be a heel bad ass....shouldn't he f-ckin win a match or is that too smart to do ?

[Donald Stone]

Enjoyed the show.

Nice promo by Cena, and I was glad he acknowladged the boos he's been getting.

Good matches all around, and the 'You Can't See Me' match was so Roberts-Martel I loved it.

[Ray192]

HBK comes out and the Big Show is in rare form. Seems Smackdown is so depleted that Show and Kane have to work that PPV now.

come on now, by that logic Raw ran out of talent so it had to get SD stars on TT.

[master of read]

why do they still push the wacksterpiece? i hate that pumped up douche.


and what? NO BOOGEY MAN?

[Erik Lehnsherr]

*The whole Benjamin thing is going in the direction that he's making poor decisions with his new attitude and it's costing him matches now. That's the new story until Shelton finally snaps and does something to Michaels. Trust me..Shelton and Michaels are gonna have some kind of interaction at Royal Rumble this year in Miami and I wouldn't be surprised if Shelton tosses Michaels out and turns heel in the process. It's just a slow heel turn process that's being built on losing like Eddie's was. Shelton telling Michaels he better get the job done because he can't wait to see him in the Cage leaves fans wanting more.

*Mickie James and Trish going at it is gonna be a nice sight too. I love Mickie and her perkiness. Should be fun.

*The "Boring" chants return for Chris Masters again. I'm not surprised. Even the dead Boston crowd couldn't take that horrible match.

*Angle cut a classic heel promo. Too bad it went against his character and that it was done to get Cena over as face because of the recent boos.

*Cena/Diavari blindfold match? Not the type of match that should end a Boston Raw.

*Matt Striker got the best heel heat tonight after Angle. We'll see what becomes of him by Rumble time.

*Cena vs Masters vs Carlito vs Michaels vs Kane vs Angle? Does that sound like a main event to you or what? I'll pass on this one and check out the Royal Rumble in Rocky country. Nice Raw though...7/10...great promos from Striker/Benjamin/Angle and Mickie James is moving along fine

[Donald Stone]

As I said in the other thread, Matt got more heat in his first promo than Chris F Masters has ever gotten.

Someone has to overlook Johnny Ace's hard on for Masters and get the guy back to OVW.

It's even worse than suspected..they went ahead and put the unover Chris Masters in a title match at New Year's Revolution. Once again..Chris Masters is GETTING A TITLE SHOT on PPV?! That's HORRIBLE, folks. And just one reason why even with the progress with Raw the last two weeks, it's still not better than Smackdown. Sorry.

[marshal99]

*Matt Striker got the best heel heat tonight after Angle. We'll see what becomes of him by Rumble time.


He'll be a midcard jobber taking over the old shane douglas role of "the dean" , i think he'll be the RAW equvalent of "Simon Dean".

Shelton telling Michaels he better get the job done because he can't wait to see him in the Cage leaves fans wanting more.

Unlike Eddie , Shelton's charactor has been so uneven to fans its a hard sell. If your gonna have him cut hard heelish promo's and swear things are gonna change..you had better move your ass and do it. Not try the Eddie Guerrero booking where Guerrero was an over enough guy with fans to swing a slow heelish turn.

*Mickie James and Trish going at it is gonna be a nice sight too. I love Mickie and her perkiness. Should be fun.

Yep..agree on this.

*The "Boring" chants return for Chris Masters again. I'm not surprised. Even the dead Boston crowd couldn't take that horrible match.

You can only ask fans to take so much. It gets to the point where fans won't take it and this is what ya saw. Elsewhere Ace saw Masters gettin a great heel response I'm sure and were destined to months of Masters gettin a bigger push.

*Angle cut a classic heel promo. Too bad it went against his character and that it was done to get Cena over as face because of the recent boos.

How did it go against his charactor ? He's still Kurt Angle and believes he's a Hero. Its just that for weeks Kurt has gotten angry at fans who think he sucks. In his promo he said the soldiers didn't deserve to see him like the fans don't.

*Cena/Diavari blindfold match? Not the type of match that should end a Boston Raw.

It was funny. I'll give it that.

*Matt Striker got the best heel heat tonight after Angle. We'll see what becomes of him by Rumble time.

Unless he's an Ace favorite I fear for him.

*Cena vs Masters vs Carlito vs Michaels vs Kane vs Angle? Does that sound like a main event to you or what? I'll pass on this one and check out the Royal Rumble in Rocky country. Nice Raw though...7/10...great promos from Striker/Benjamin/Angle and Mickie James is moving along fine

Royal Rumble should be good with Rob Van Dam's return and Edge's return to action around then. Hopefully Ace doesn't drop the ball on RVD's return after a year away.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

come on now, by that logic Raw ran out of talent so it had to get SD stars on TT.


Uhhh you do realize that the RAW Tag champs are going on a Smackdown PPV don't you ? Not the Smackdown tag champs coming to RAW.

[Bruce Wayne Jr.]

Good news on Shelton Benjamin's big push:

It's been reported that WWE has put out a casting call in Hollywood CA. for a "large black woman" to play Shelton's on-air mother for the next three to six months.

Can't wait to see how deep Shelton's buried---errr, I mean how high Shelton's star rises after these exciting developments... :( :confused: :mad: :rolleyes:

[Howard Allan]

Masters alias Lex Luger light alias The Human Heatsink should be turfed from the show but he's got muscle pushing him and until the muscle goes I'm afraid we're probably stuck with The Human Heatsink.

[Legato]

I see whare this is going for HHH. I was in denial at first but now I accept it HHH will win the Royal Rumble and win the heavyweight title at Wrestlemania.

I like Kurt but I was actualy rooting for Ric Flair to win the match so that he could be in the Elimination Chamber. Kinda like WWE's way of giving Flair one last run at the main event.

His feud with Edge should be pretty good.

If Matt Striker is copying off of the Dean Douglas gimmick then I hope he doesn't have that horrible entrance music when he debuts.

[clayholio]

I liked the show overall, but how the hell am I supposed to take a Chris Masters vs. Viscera match seriously as a qualifying match for the main event of a PPV? It was like watching the Royal Rumble, and seeing the Hurricane or Val Venis come out. You know who isn't getting that main event slot at Wrestlemania. I will admit some secret hope that Viscera would take the match. Now is the right time for a huge push for a 500 lb love machine monster. Big Vis for World Champ!

Also, I thought it was incredibly lame that Tajiri was nowhere to be found tonight. Guy's last show with the company, and he can't even be the one to get squashed by Chris Masters? Ouch. I'm curious to see if they gave him a Heat match, or if they just completely blew him off.

But, like I said, I did enjoy the show overall. Just two gripes that I had...

[Scorpion13]

I dont know why everbody keeps calling Chris Masters "Lex Luger light", but that aint the case.

1. Luger could, when he wanted to, put on a pretty decent match. Hey, he didnt always sleep walk through everything.

2. He was decent on the mic.

Chris Masters....isnt. Theyre billing him entirely as having a great body. And it couldve worked....in the past. But now lots of guys have a body like him. Past that, he has no personality, no mic skills, and if he can put on a good match, Ive yet to see it. Plus, hes been in exactly zero interesting feuds.

He needs to really step up his workrate and mic skills, or he's just gonna get more "boring" chants. He has a pretty good old-school type gimmick here, but Superstar Billy Graham he aint. He isnt even a Scott Steiner at this point.

I think you said it yourself , he doesn't exactly have been in a lot of interesting feuds. As far as personality and mic skills , i think he is not too bad , he's better than at least half of the TNA roster.

[Gaz]

Did NOBODY see Dusty on Unlimited?! God, that was hilarious! Vince kept getting cut off by Da Dweem, if you wheeeel.

[DanH]

I have to admit though the way they have it set up this is one of the WEAKEST Elimination Chamber matches I have ever seen,...What am I talking about look who's in it compared to who's been in it in the past.

If Edge wasn't injured I would rather see him in the Elimination Chamber instead of Chris Masters.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

If Edge wasn't injured I would rather see him in the Elimination Chamber instead of Chris Masters.


Yep....if Edge and Rob Van Dam were around you'd see a hell of a lot better Elimination Chamber.

[shades of eternity]

yeah

john cena
shawn michaels
kurt angel
kane
rvd
edge

now that would be an awesome elimination chamber (even if it is 1 too big). :)

[SUPERECWFAN1]

If it was up to me and it was a fair god I'd love to see a Cage match like this: RVD,Shawn Micheals,John Cena,Kurt Angle , Edge and Shelton Benjimen. That would be my 6 .

[sgt.candy]

id like to see hhh and kevin nash in a cage. again

Boy I see five star match potential in that. Wait a second I've just found out that Nash has been injured again so it looks like the match will be cancelled.

and a SD tag team went to Taboo Tuesday.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

and a SD tag team went to Taboo Tuesday.


That was after Steve Austin walked out and the fact that they were building to a RAW vs Smackdown Survivor Series pretty much. Thats why Batista and Rey Mysterio/Matt Hardy were put on the Taboo Tuesday PPV.


Unlike Smackdown the next PPV has Mysterio teaming up with Batista vs Kane/Big Show in the main event. Its pretty much like saying: " Our roster is really thin and we don't have anything for Dave Batista to do til Orton gets thru with Taker."

[Erik Lehnsherr]

Unlike Eddie , Shelton's charactor has been so uneven to fans its a hard sell. If your gonna have him cut hard heelish promo's and swear things are gonna change..you had better move your ass and do it.

Unless he's an Ace favorite I fear for him.



Royal Rumble should be good with Rob Van Dam's return and Edge's return to action around then. Hopefully Ace doesn't drop the ball on RVD's return after a year away.

Eddie was the most over guy in the WWE since Austin/Rock's heyday. There is no comparing Shelton to Eddie. It's just the format that they are using to solidify Shelton's heel turn by Royal Rumble.

Chris Masters? This guy is a piece of trash. I'm tired of hearing this excuse that he's gonna get better and that he's "decent" in the ring. I have seen NO evidence of this and I have yet to see a two star match with Masters except the one Michaels carried at Unforgiven. Give me Renee Dupree and his over "French Phenom" gimmick over the joke known as the "Masterpiece" anyday of the week. Hopefully, when RVD returns next month, they have Masters get squashed by RVD in his return match to Raw in under two minutes. I would LOVE to see that.

Angle's character is also about "Intensity, intelligence, and integrity". He lacked the integrity part in his barrage to get heel heat so Cena can get some solid cheers for once. Doesn't matter anyway. I still see Angle getting cheered at New Year's Revolution with more boos on the way for Cena, sadly.

[marshal99]

Unlike Smackdown the next PPV has Mysterio teaming up with Batista vs Kane/Big Show in the main event. Its pretty much like saying: " Our roster is really thin and we don't have anything for Dave Batista to do til Orton gets thru with Taker."

They are putting Batista in tag team matches because he's still healing from his injury and can work less in a tag team.

I have seen NO evidence of this and I have yet to see a two star match with Masters except the one Michaels carried at Unforgiven.
Am i misreading this ? I thought you always insisted that Michaels can only be carried by someone and not the one doing the carrying in the ring ?! :p

[SUPERECWFAN1]

They are putting Batista in tag team matches because he's still healing from his injury and can work less in a tag team.

Odds are they could have booked around that. You also if your gonna protect Batista , don't book him against the biggest guys on the roster. He'll be in there a few minutes and still work.

With Taker/Orton busy and Benoit tied up with Booker T they have few options.
Ken Kennedy is out. Edge is out and Christian was let go. They really have to do this til Orton works his program with Taker.

Could be , but from a storyline point of view , Batista does have a beef with Big show & Kane so it makes sense.

No. One must be on drugs to think that Masters can keep with up superior talent weekly.

chris wacksters is the worst thing in wrestling ever!!! he's just meat. nothing else. and he isnt that good of a wrestler. lashley aka, black lesner owned the wacksterpiece at SS. he just sucks. no way to dress it up.


and sgt candy? you are a dumb fan to thing that benoit sucks. he is the best wrestling in the whole company. he's second to only angle and eddie. who are you watching? aint benoit.

[Scorpion13]

Chris Benoit is just a vanilla midget. I say but both titles on Hogan have him go over Lashley, Benjamin, Angle, Cena, Hunter, Show, Michaels and Benoit...at the same time. Then have him feud with Flair for a year. Then set it up so that Hogan passes the torch to Undertaker. But then it gets passed back to Hogan after a month.

I see, then another feud with a returning Vader, who will cement his rep by squashing Kurt Angle and Booker T in 30 seconds a piece.

Also, two words, Evil Midgets. Oh, and vingettes.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Jeff Hardy no showed the PPV and TNA will most likely never bring him back this time. The last time Hardy no showed he apologized and took a suspension from TNA. This after missing 7 flights in 2 years.

TNA will run an angle where Sting hasn't officially signed his contract with TNA. Its expected Sting will come out on the New Years Eve Special and sign his deal on 12/31.


CBS,ABC CNN and ESPN contacted TNA about airing the footage of Perzynski wrestling on the PPV. Its expected to air one day this week.

The TNA Impact Special that aired at 10pm Thursday pulled a 0.8 rating. Some will say its a great rating for a tough Thursday night shedule and that TNA is a new show developing. Others won't .

Former WWE Jobber Johnny K-9 has pretty much fallen from grace. K-9 is once again in legal trouble after breaking 6 of his conditions for bail on charges of a double murder last year. He is also now being charged with extortion.

Mark " Muhammed Hassan" Copani is currently in LA persueing his dream of being an actor. Thus far he's had 3 auditions and no calls back as of yet.

Is he still having problems with drug abuse, or is it something else?

Thats too bad. He went from being in one of the best tag teams in WWF history to being a curtain jerker in another company. And the guy was still a decent worker, with a good ring presence.

nah they should have big show go over everyone. including non wrestlers
it will give the world title credibility

then later on we can clone big show and call him LARGE PROGRAM. and hed be 15 feet tall and breath fire. and then have him go over everyone again to give him cred. then have big show beat him by giving him a super plex that breaks the ring and sends him to hell

No clue......TNA really has went along with Hardy as far as they could. He's missed flights and hasn't looked at all good. Its a fact a lot of us used to rag on in the TNA Boards.

Hardy Main Evented TNA's 1st PPV and he drifted up n down. Its just with Sting and Christian coming in , his value dropped . The fact he would no show and claim he missed flights didn't help his cause.

[Melbourne Mew Mew]

As I said in the other thread, Matt got more heat in his first promo than Chris F Masters has ever gotten.

Someone has to overlook Johnny Ace's hard on for Masters and get the guy back to OVW.

Johnny Ace: "I know how we can get Masters over... let's HAVE HIM WIN THE TITLE!"

[Phoney Bone]

Dusty would be a GREAT Gemeral Manager for Raw. It'd be nice for once to see someone in a GM/Commisioner character role that doesn't come off as a dead fish with obviously rehearsed lines. Dusty can do that. He's one of the best promo men in the history. With very little wrestling ability, he managed to sell out arenas all over the world on his mic work alone.

And as for the polka-dot years, I'm sure McMahon has a grudging respect for Dusty. no matter how much McMahon tried to make Dusty look like a fool (ploka-dots, the butcher skits, the plumber skits, Sapphire) he still got insane over with the WWF fans.

In fact, Dusty can get over anywhere. The ECW workrate smarts crapped their pants with joy when Stardust popped up in the fed.

That being said... there is only one choice for the Raw GM role:


MICHAEL HAYES!!!! think about it. The "you kids are spoiled" will get him going as a baby, but he could just as easily become a heel GM with the same line of reasoning.





And if they aren't careful, Stryker will be turned babyface by the fans... his comments got quite a few cheers from the audience. Crybaby Douglas never did "yo mama" jokes. :D

[lboinyamouf4sho]

my thoughts: i know it's the cool thing to say how bad masters sux but to me he's just average, overpushed yes but still i don't think he sux as bad as people make him out to. matter of fact i like him and carlito together for some reason, and the had started getting good heat together until HHH came back and killed it for both guys. sign me up as a matt striker fan not as a heel but i really agree with some of the things he said about single mothers. anyways he should join angle and davari and they'll have a nice little heel stable there.


btw edge sux, he can only get heat one way after all these years.

He was good this week, at least for comedy.
And Dusty wouldn't have real power like in TNA.

He's involved in booking Smackdown, but ultimately, it's Steph who's in charge of that.

With Dusty booking , can we expect to see in the near future of a smackdown PPV consisting of all cage matches ? :D

That's what I was wondering. I do not want Dusty to be GM.

Phony Bone, I'd like to see Micheal Hayes make a run as GM as well. He's just a wrassler who's been there and done that, and could be face or heel depending on which wrassler he was interacting with. He could really sell it that he's just there to put on the best show possible, and teach these young guys how it's done. Great idea.

[JohnPopa]

Um, guys, the 'GM' isn't a real role. It's just a TV thing. Eric Bischoff did not book Raw, nor will Dusty Rhodes.

I understand that the GMs are just characters on the shows, I just think that it woudl be much more entertaining to see Hayes than Rhodes. (I NEVER liked Dusty Rhodes)

Actually Dusty is already suppose to be behind the scenes creatively so his situation is different from Bischoff.

I don't want Dusty as GM , let Flair retire and become the GM once again like the time he was GM. :D

That's true, and a good idea as well. I'll admit though, I enjoy it when Flair gets in the ring. It's a lesson in old school wrasslin' goodness for the younger wrasslers. I guess the GMs do climb in the ring occasionally eh?

my thoughts: i know it's the cool thing to say how bad masters sux but to me he's just average, overpushed yes but still i don't think he sux as bad as people make him out to. matter of fact i like him and carlito together for some reason, and the had started getting good heat together until HHH came back and killed it for both guys. sign me up as a matt striker fan not as a heel but i really agree with some of the things he said about single mothers. anyways he should join angle and davari and they'll have a nice little heel stable there.


btw edge sux, he can only get heat one way after all these years.

When has Masters ever got heel heat of any fashion? He's gotten some of the most dead reactions of a pushed heel that I've ever seen.

I'm pulling for Paul Heyman personally. I can imagine a scene where Coach wants to become great friends with Paul ( ala Bischoff) and knocks on his door.

Very very unlikely since Heyman is doing well in OVW and nearing the end of his contract. WWE have already offered him a new contract though he has yet to sign it.

Rumors are that Bischoff will appear on camera again and become a manager and manage some rookie now that he's no longer a GM like what Heyman had done with Brock.

I don't see the WWE letting Paul Heyman skip to TNA . Heyman's got a history at helping young products grow and him in TNA would hurt the WWE. Unless Ace totally screws up I can't see this happening.

[Legato]

Wasn't Paul responsible for Brock Lesner getting that push.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Wasn't Paul responsible for Brock Lesner getting that push.

No that was WWE Creative that did that bo bo. Paul was asked to be his mouthpiece. It took months....and months....and months of work to get Brock over enough. Heyman who really doesn't like an on-screen role talked them into letting Lesnar go alone once he finally got over.


Its funny but looking back only Steve Austin, HHH and Rob Van Dam weren't made into Brock Lesnar jobbers. RVD proved to be way too popular to job clean. Austin walked and HHH was on RAW so all 3 avoided clean jobs to him lol.

[sgt.candy]

heyman will give a shot to vanilla midgets. WE MUST KEEP HIM IN OUR COMPANY TO DO NOTHING!

[JohnPopa]

Didn't RVD job clean to Brock in a King of the Ring final?

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Didn't RVD job clean to Brock in a King of the Ring final?


Nope interferance from Heyman I believe. He threw Rob off the ropes or held him til Brock grabbed him and nailed his finisher. Fans weren't happy and wanted a rematch so the next month Brock scored a DQ win.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

Didn't RVD job clean to Brock in a King of the Ring final?

Yep...he flipped RVD into the F'5 position and beat him. The next month, RVD won the Vengeance match by DQ.

[JohnPopa]

Well, that's a crappy bit of booking, no wonder I'd blocked it out of my mind. Brock was being pushed as an invincible monster to the World Title and they gave him a DQ loss to a midcarder like RVD? Man, they couldn't book basic wrestling then either.

Gotta understand more people were hot for RVD and pretty much booed the WWE outta the ring for bookin Rob to lose. The anger stayed and the company faced 2 problems. The fans wouldn't accept Lesnar going clean over Van Dam.

They had to appease the fans. Whats interesting is the fans were more angry Brock was going over RVD than they were he was being pushed to beat Rocky. ;)

Only NY at Summerslam. The ONLY heat Lesnar got to that point in 2002 was not his one his one month deal with RVD..it was feuding with the Rock. It was the Rock who got Lesnar over and had fans chanting "Lesnar SUCKS" on all the Raws leading to Summerslam. Hell, on the Raw before Summerslam during HHH's promo, he ran down Michaels..fans didn't respond. He brought up Lesnar and the entire crowd booed big time. Not to mention they booed HHH out of the building as he ran down the Rock during his promo against Michaels.

Really, I recall a LOT of "Let's go Lesnar" chants during their title match...

[Legato]

So did I. I also remember that after the match The Rock looked pissed at the amount of boos he was getting.

[JohnPopa]

Rock tried to cut a face promo after that match but the crowd had turned on him. He then reverted to his heel mannerisms and cut a promo similar to when he was the corporate heel champ.

The next night at Raw he was at the arena but ended up not showing up on camera - although at one point he was scheduled to do a promo - because he and Vince figured the crowd would boo him again and there was no sense in sending him out for that. Keep in mind, most everyone going into that match knew Rock was had just come in for a short title run before he went off to make more movies. The New York audience especially isn't kind to that sort of thing -- ask Lesnar and Goldberg -- and they turned on him. JR tried to ignore it at first in commentary but by the end had to concede that the audience was obviously cheering for whomever they wanted, rather than boo'ing Lesnar as they had thought would happen.

Many backstage in the company are pretty shocked that Eric Bischoff hasn't been backstage off TV in any role. It has many wondering if and when he'll come back. Many had expected him to at least have a hand in creative on RAW.

Hulk Hogan , in an interview with Alex Marvez has said he's still angry at Shawn Micheals over comments he made the night after Summerslam. You can follow the link from www.411mania.com

Juventud Guerrera vs Kid Kash for the WWE Cruiserwieght title has been added to the Armeggedon PPV. As well as William Regal & Paul Birchill vs Bobby Lashley.

Tough Enough winner Matt Cappoteli took a hard kick during an OVW show and the WWE sent him to get his head checked for a concussion. In said news they have found a brain tumor. Its sadly unknown if the tumor is cancerous,benign or operable yet. He'll be flying to Cincinnati Ohio to get futher tests.

This sucks for Matt since the WWE had plans to call him and Mike the Miz up soon as a tag team. Filming for vignettes were to start this week. Its sad and heres wishing him a get well .


The WWE plans to release a new Hulk Hogan DVD on April 4th 2006.

TNA has suspended Jeff Hardy Indefinatly. TNA is relunctant to fire Hardy due to his strong merchindice sales and may keep him there awhile. Also TNA could bring back Sean Waltman to take Hardy's spot in the company.

Here is a list of the Monthly TNA PPV Names the company will now use for 2006.

Jan. Final Resolution
Feb. Against All Odds
Mar. Destination X
Apr. Lockdown

June Slammiversy
Jul. Victory Road
Aug. Hard Justice
Sept. No Surrender
Oct. Bound for Glory
Nov. Genisis
Dec. Turning Point. : Whats interesting is the switch with the May,July & August PPV's here.

As Royal mentioned earlier , Simon Inoki is already talking with Tajiri to come in and do cards in the companys Junior Heavywieght Division. Thats pretty cool.

Nascar driver Hermie Sadler was at the Impact Taping this past week.

TNA has finished work on the Christopher Daniels DVD. It will be released next month. TNA is currently working on releasing a DVD of thier bloodiest brawls.

WWE has ran non-stop ads in New York hyping the RAW Troop Special.

Joey Styles did the voiceover work for tonights RAW show. Styles when not on the road with the WWE is expected to move back to Stameford and start doing Production work in the WWE offices as well.

Ken Doane debuted in the WWE House shows with a gimmick of being a " spirit squad leader ". No foolin...guess thier going for the SNL Will Ferrell type skit here.

There is a list of great matches on the 2 disc ECW DVD the company is set to to release on Jan 7th. In fact theres 18 matches stretching from 1995 all the way to 2005 ! The DVD will have some of the wildest bloodshed possible....plus has extra's detailing the history of the matches!

Actually, Waltman's been good in the ring and got real heat in TNA. He's still an ass for what he pulled at Unbreakable, but he's a better performer than Jeffypoo.
