Seeing these promos, I think the only option for Summerslam is that Hogan is going to beat Shawn.

Knowing Hogan, there's absolutely no way that he would allow Shawn and the WWE to rip into him like that without him getting the victory. Also knowing Hogan, I wouldn't put it past him to actually no-show Summerslam if he doesn't get his way.....

My Raw review

On the whole it was a lot better than some of the crap the spew into our tv sets on a weekley basis. Although the goods were great, the bads were gagable. (its my own word. I made it up. So!)

Jericho's promo was awesome. Not necessarily in what he said, just the way he said it. Chris Jericho has always been a favorite of mine because he is the perfect example of a total package. He can wrestle the crap out of just about anyone & on the mic he is amazing.

The tag match was... ok. It provedthat even though he is young Shelton can handle having to carry a match with Snitsky & Masters. Believe me, that is talent. You can tell Big Show was trying to up his charisma so he can remind the higher ups that he can be very entertaining. Besides Big Show wanting to take the Masterlock challenge... Is this fued going anywhere at all?

Eugene & Angle... At least it's a lot less rediculous as it sounds. You got to give credit where credit's due. They actually made this story work. Both Eugene & Angle are funny & should make the most of this story. Funny thing though, I was laying down watching it & when Angle said that they're on an indian reservasion & there are no hometown heros, I said to my self (as a joke I wasn't trying to predict anything I just joked) Tatanka. 5 seconds later what do we see... Ta-****ing-tanka. Do you know what this means? This means WWE has gotten so predictable, I was able to predict something without really predicting something.

Was Vince looking for heat when he thanked himself?... It didn't work.

Matt's promo was actually pretty cool. Not the best promo I have seen but was still pretty cool.

I think it is clear Val Venis is never getting another push when he has to job to George Michael.

Shawn Michaels segment was easily the greatest thing to happen on Raw... Ever! This was better than Austin driving the zamboni. Better than Austin and the beer truck... Better than Austin driving anything into the arena.

Who knew Rob Schnieder would be the one thing that could make the diva search watchable.

I was playing poker on may cell phone for most of the John Cena/Carlito match. I did see Cena clearly putting his hands in front of his face long before his head was even close to coming down to the post & it makes me sick.

Tickets: 50$
T-Shirt: 25$
Soda & Popcorn: 12$
Watching Jericho hit John Cena in the face with a camera: Priceless

I agree, he tried to be the next Brian Pillman. Except everything Pillman did to make his "shoot" believable Hardy did not do & as soon as he signed with WWE about a month ago, that's where he ****ed up

Snitsky/Masters tag team.

Amen!

RAW totally sucked again tonight.

As for Cena, I think he's a decent brawler. He's got a good personality and mic skills. But he's really not a complete wrestler and seems to be lacking something in his matches.

3dman27
08-02-2005, 04:45 AM
He didn't really treat him fair. I mean he did humiliate Bischoff as much as possible: he had Bischoff get totally destroyed by Austin on a weekly basis, made Bischoff shave his head while Vince insulted him on a PPV, he's constantly getting humiliated by the other wrestlers. I don't really see him getting treated that fair ;)

"
i think he means treating bischoff airly behind the scenes not nessasarily his on air persona

Supposedly he has his plate full with movie roles for the next bazillion years, which is why he quit wrasslin in the first place, but hey, if they can bring out Rob ScneiBigelow to promote his dumbass movie, then the Rock will be back to promote his movies as they come out over the next few years. He'll probably be like Austin though, just showing up to promote and 'raise hell' then leave again.

Ahh well. I'm just saying I think current wrestling is so boring I'm on the verge of tears at how craptastic it is. All the great stars have gone and we're left with talentless hacks and wannabes. Seriously, when i found out that they turned Bradshaw from the apa into JBL, a now bigshot and the wwe champion, I was like, "wtf?". Then Hogan brings his ass back again, what is his problem? Dude got beat by the rock twice, then he vanishes, comes back dressed like some retarded superhero, making us believe it wasn't really hogan under that craptastic disguise, dissapears yet again then comes back, ripping his shirt again like its 1989. Shouldn't hogan be on a respirator or something?

The rest of Raw was substandard,Shelton Bernjamin seems to be having trouble keeping his balance on the top since his fall a month back
Y2J cut a good promo as well but thats all the show was,Carlito is looking better and given a decent opponent could improve greatly Cena however must be removed from the top spot ,he can't wrestle as well as some of the kids from tough enough and has zero ability in selling his opponent,he's so lead footed he made Carlito look bad on several spots

"After verbally agreeing to terms with WWE, Brock Lesnar has decided to withdraw from any involvement with the company."

Given the recent way the site has been operating, it's just as possible that this could be some sort of storyline.

I'm actually liking his feud with Eugene. Particularly since Kurt Angle seems to play a comedic role very well. And the "battles" he and Eugene engage in are pretty funny.

Plus, it should be a good match with Angle and Eugene since Eugene isn't that bad of a wrestler.....

Well i can see what you mean to a point but I just think Angle deserves much better than a feud with a moron character like Eugene(he's an ok wrestler)
Angle should be in a feud with Benjamin instead and that way they could promote a guy who has a future in the buissness

I'm getting some kind of feeling that there is a former WCW superstar that may be making his way to WWE in some way. There has been a lot of signs pointing to Sting. I know Sting has his beliefs that have kept him away. But HBK has the same beliefs. I think there may be some kind of compromise to bring him in.

It's a combination of both my Kryptonian friend. It's bad when he's there, and it's worse when he's not there, when in actuality they could be trying to improve their product and give a reason for fans to tune in, however it's become painfully obvious that the WWE, Vince McMahon, or the writers don't care about what the fans think or want.

They'll use the excuse as "Well, he wasn't on TV and the ratings didn't improve, so what more can we possibly do?"

Oh I don't know, maybe actually TRY to make the product better? Get rid of the soap opera writers for starters, and hire writers who are actually wrestling fans and go from there.

I agree that it's the writer's fault not HHH's But the main problem is the fact they currently have the worst champion in 10 years at the head of the show and they are reusing the old Austin/Mcmahon angle between him and Bischoff,juste remove Rednecka nd replace the word with Thug and Bischoff's promo's about Cena are identical to Mcmahon's about Austin,hell Lawler even used the same line durin gthe match the other night he used in the austin/mcmahon feud years ago

That's because the WWE has a vested interest in Eugene? He does seem to be popular with the fans ala John Cena at times...particularly before he was overexposed last year.

And that also shows the character of Kurt Angle. He's willing to wrestle against anybody and do anything. And it really does no harm to his character because he makes everything look convincing :up:

Seriously thats what is so messed up in WWE right now,why would ppl cheer for Eugene and Cena ? i mean it isnt cos either are great performers,i know Eugene is a special character but he doesn't need the kind of main event stauts that WWE affords him

Look at the roster ,all the best talent are stuck in feudsthat are beneath them

People cheer for Eugene because they like to cheer for their own. And the basis of Eugene's gimmick is that he's a HUGE wrestling fan. That's why he constantly copies the finishing moves of other wrestlers. Because he's such a fan of that wrestler that he uses their moves. It plays good with the sentimentality factor :)

And really, he's not in the main event at the moment. He's in a midcard feud with Angle. Which is where he should stay. Once his feud with Angle is finished, I could see him back in the tag-team division again.....

From WWE.com:

Dusty Rhodes' meeting with Stephanie McMahon has ended. When asked about the meeting, McMahon responded:

"Dusty is an incredible asset both creatively and as a talent. We are exploring all possibilities of working with Dusty in the future."

That's a pretty good sign that WWE will be bringing him in on the creative team. As noted earlier, they also want him for their legends program and the Hall of Fame, likely next year.



ugh WTF? he was a disaster for TNA and what do they mean as "Talent" surely there not gonna have him wrestle:(

Credit: PWTorch.Com


According to sources, the attitudes of both John Cena and Batista have been very good, since winning the top tier belts. Apparently Cena is down-to-earth, approachable, and eager to learn. "He knows he has a long way to go if he wants to have a long run making top dollars," says a WWE source.

Sources also report that Batista is smart, affable student of wrestling who learned a lot from road trips with Triple H and Ric Flair, but has age working against him compared to Cena.

what is this BS ? If Cena is Champ he shouldn't have a lot to learn,when they put the belt on you it means youve reached a level where you can carry the company:mad:

I guess this was the reason why Bret Hart met with the WWE this week, from the WWE website:

"Bret Hart and WWE have agreed on a deal for an upcoming DVD chronicling the amazing career of the Hit Man. Bret will be in Stamford over the next several days working on the DVD. "

This is a good step in the WWE's parts in rebuilding ties with Bret Hart. I only hope this mean further appearances - possibly a HOF induction along with someone like Steve Austin-and maybe like Owen Hart or Davy Boy Smith-at Wrestlemania 22.....

WWE Release Unforgiven Poster, Spoils SummerSlam PPV. Warning Spoiler's below, you've been warned!




















WWE has officially released the PPV Poster for RAW's September PPV, Unforgiven. The poster shows WWE Champion John Cena with the WWE Title, facing off against Kurt Angle.

With Chris Jericho's rumored post-SummerSlam hiatus and now this visual confirmation, it appears Cena will be walking out of SummerSlam with the gold.

And this is why the WWE's cruiserweight division is inferior to the X-division....


Vince McMahon has sent word down through WWE that he wants cruiserweights to tone down several risky high flying moves, unofficially banning maneuvers such as the 450 splash and the shooting star press.

Apparently the number of injuries has caused McMahon to decide that high flying risky maneuvers are simply not worth it. The unofficial ban actually went into effect around two weeks ago and when Paul London used the shooting star press against Nunzio on a recent edition of Velocity, he was told by company officials not to use it again and to come up with a different finisher.

With Chris Jericho's rumored post-SummerSlam hiatus and now this visual confirmation, it appears Cena will be walking out of SummerSlam with the gold.

What's worse? Having Jericho lose at SummerSlam and have a break or Jericho win at SummerSlam but lose the title in two weeks then have a break? The stuff they've did with Hardy and Lesnar online has been good since its not the usual "look I was right, why bother watching" so if the info is out that Jericho has resigned it would be a surprise to see Jericho win and they can finally have a live RAW title change which hasn't happened in awhile. Have a triple threat match Carlito vs Jericho vs Cena where Cena pins Carlito. Then you can have a Carlito/Jericho feud and put the belt on Angle soon and Cena does become a 2 time champion however.

I hate that as well (although I can't think of a title change on Heat that didn't precede a PPV). Especially in this case because they probably won't even mention the title change on Smackdown. Meaning, that people won't have a clue as to who the new champion is now.

Benoit hasn't had gold since around this time last year.He could've and should've won the US title from OJ. And well,I don't consider Jericho's new shot at the WWE title him getting back in the spotlight.Cena's going to win,hell they even showed a poster for the next PPV for where he goes against Angle for the title.

And honestly,I don't see what people see in Booker.Yeah,he's worked his ass off,but he's really not that great of a wrestler.Mid carder at best.And he can't get over with the crowd as well as someone like Cena or Hogan or HBK when he was a face.

your right and that's why wwe is a steaming pile of crap right now,the fact they would put an old fart who is at least 10 years past what was his supposed prime over a guy who could help build the young stars as he is still great is a bad joke but hey cena's champ so what does it matter ?

That's what the WWE's always did though. They always put Hogan's interest over anybody's else. Remember Wrestlemania 9 when they had Hogan go over Yoko in like 2 minutes? That made both Bret Hart and Yokozuna look bad. The only reason why the WWE is still doing this is because they think Hulk Hogan is still a big name and a Hulk Hogan vs Shawn Michaels match might mean big buyrates for their PPV.

Yeah, but all the WWE cares about at the moment is now. And they hope a Shawn-Hogan match can bring in the buyrates for them.

Their main-event match is basically screwed. And this was the match they're building their show around.....

Yeah, they're basically taking over Velocity's spot. I don't even think Spike TV will market the show much. I think they'd rather market the UFC program more and bill Impact as "the wrestling show after UFC".

Seriously, it would even be bad to put Impact on Mondays opposite Raw. It will get absolutely slaughtered in the ratings initially. Best to put it on a Saturday (kinda like WCW Saturday Night, which was the main WCW show for years), try and let it grow a small audience. TNA is not going to supplant the WWE right away. It took WCW years to become a competitor for the WWE. The same is going to happen with TNA.

Benoit hasn't had gold since around this time last year.He could've and should've won the US title from OJ. And well,I don't consider Jericho's new shot at the WWE title him getting back in the spotlight.Cena's going to win,hell they even showed a poster for the next PPV for where he goes against Angle for the title.

And honestly,I don't see what people see in Booker.Yeah,he's worked his ass off,but he's really not that great of a wrestler.Mid carder at best.And he can't get over with the crowd as well as someone like Cena or Hogan or HBK when he was a face.

You never saw Booker T in WCW did you? He can definitely wrestle with the best of them, and even had classic match-ups with Benoit, Eddie, Kanyon, Saturn, and Scott Steiner before WCW died.

What killed Booker T was WWE and them watering down his moveset, his gimmick, and his ability to get the crowd into his matches. Trust me, he was one of the most over stars in WCW and was a great heel during the tag team days of Harlem Heat.

Yep. With the amount of times that Shawn has ripped into Hogan the past few weeks, how can Hogan not win this match? Can you imagine if Hogan were told he was to get made fun of on Raw AND lose his match to Michaels at Summerslam? He would no-show the event.....

You forgot his 2002 comeback. Yeah he won a couple of championships but he put a lot of guys over and actually took a lot of losses (Rock, Lesnar, Angle etc). Like it wasn't the usual Hulk wins all the timething from 80's and 90's

I really could give two ****s about WWE right now. I'm just excited that the next awesome TNA PPV is this weekend :) .

http://www.tnawrestling.com/sacrifice/dreammatch.html

Right now you can vote on who Christopher Daniels is going to face at the PPV on Sunday. I voted for Austin Aries, former ROH champion. All those guys on the poll are ROH guys really, so they are all awesome :) . Though Aries is leading the poll right now by a steep majority.

So here's what the Sacrifice card is looking like right now:

SUPER X CUP II TOURNAMENT FINALS!!!
Samoa "Jaw" Joe vs. AJ Styles

Raven and Sabu vs. Jeff Jarrett and Rhino

Christopher Daniels vs. fan poll winner (most likely Austin Aries)

America's Most Wanted and The Naturals vs. Team Canada

Abyss vs. Lance Hoyt

Jerry Lynn vs. Sean Waltman

Kip James and Monty Brown vs. The Truth and Konnan (BG James is the special referee)

Samoa Joe vs. AJ kind of puts it over the top for me in wanting to see it more than Summerslam this year. There's really nothing on the Summerslam card that really interests me. I don't care about HBK/Hogan. The Rey/Eddie feud has degenerated into complete crap. Cena winning is a foregone conclusion. Benoit is being wasted with slugs like Orlando Jordan. The Batista/JBL feud and matches blow.

My main problem with Sacrifice is that there are no title matches, so I'm hoping they will put the Super X Cup finals match as the main event to make it truly significant.

that meant nothing,Hogan was a hasbeen then as well,so putting them over meant nothing as they were already over,if he's put guys over in the late 80's and early 90's that wouldve meant something,beating Hogan now is just a full stop on a bad joke

no surprises there,just predictble WWE garbage,the whole feud is a ****ing joke anyway,i mean HBK will have to wrestle half pace in order for Hogan to keep up and then later in the match he will loose the use of his arms before coming very slowly off the ropes to give Hogan enough time to lift his leg very slowly off the ground and then fall over for him and wait there for 10 minutes while Hogan sucks ass at the crowd drops his leg and then HBK can leave shower the shame off himself while a 55 yearold selfish egomaniac old man poses to the marks

Yeah, but all the WWE cares about at the moment is now. And they hope a Shawn-Hogan match can bring in the buyrates for them. And sure, it's a bit of cowardice, but that's what happens when the WWE deals with Hogan. Can you imagine what'll happen in Summerslam if Hogan decides to no-show entirely? Their main-event match is basically screwed. And this was the match they're building their show around.....

They shouldn't work with him if he can't be a professional.the guy is the past he is a joke they bring back occassionaly and is fun in tag matches,putting him in the main event is a prime example of why WWE sucks right now

Cena's been wrestling for over 5 years and Carlito for 6, so its not like their brand new, both young, but to be on the biggest stage in sports entertainment and screw up a simple move like a shoulder block is inexcusable, mistakes happen but they shouldn't (especially a shoulder block) when your the WWE and Intercontinental champions. Its just that WWE is pushing a no talent hack like Cena, and pushing Carlito who is 90% gimmick, and has some but not much talent.

five or six years wrestling is not enough though. How long was Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin, and Mick Foley wrestling before they were seen as legitimate main-eventers?

Every now and then there may be a lone exception in which a guy may only wrestle for a couple of years break out and become a superstar (Kurt Angle, The Rock, Brock Lesner is a huge huge maybe), but wrestling pro for half a decade is way too short to be at the top of the business IMO.

The Rock's a huge exception. Lesner was given the championship only because the WWE wanted to justify spending all that money on getting him.

Honestly, the championship belt means so little nowadays. The WWE doesn't give the belt anymore as to who's the best wrestler. They give it to whoever's the most loyal or whoever can sell the most t-shirts anyways.

Five or six years is usually not enough time to become a bonafide main eventer with exceptions, so your right, but I'm not talking about whether their main eventers or not (eventhough I believe their not), I'm saying is that 5 or 6 years is definitely enough time to learn how to do a damned shoulder block and they can't do that right.

The sole reason why Cena has the belt is because of his charisma. They're trying to make him into another Rock. That's why they had him win the title right when his rap album came out. That's why they're trying to branch him into movies. It's not about developing a wrestler. It's about trying to develop another star for them. The WWE honestly doesn't care about the wrestling.

It's not really that he sucks. It's that as soon as he turned face, they turned him into a generic face. If he would've still been the cocky SOB like he was as the Legend Killer, it may've gone a bit better.....that and a slow-burn to face :o

I just don't see Orton as a face working out, especially after his turn to face and 5 months later a heel turn, I just think its gonna be a while before people forget what happened, that he was cocky, then nice and now him trying to be cocky again, I just don't think Orton is a guy who would be a good face.

I think that is the longest run on sentence in my life.

yep,the fast change over to get a main event program between orton/HHH killed him,he shouldve had the belt and stayed with evolution with HHH seething in the background as Orton struted about as champ growing independant

If they kept his Legend Killer gimmick going on, but this time going after heel legends, I could see a face gimmick working. The problem was, as soon as he turned face, they just undid everything that made him cool in the first place. Kinda like what they're doing with John Cena right now :o

If they maintained his cockiness, I could maybe see Orton working out as a face again.....

Well,it's not like he's going to be turning face anytime soon.He's got a feud with the Undertaker,then probably Batista,and I can really see him feuding with Benoit as well.

Possibly with Orton, but I never saw Cena as cool, always a guy who could rhyme but had no ability to back it up.

Exactly. They should've built up some anomosity between Orton and Trips. Have an extreme slow-burn to the face side for Orton. Kind of like what they did with Batista. Remember how huge the fans popped for Batista when he finally turned on Hunter? Just imagine if they had done that with Orton......

I liked Cena back when he was as heel because he had intensity. That's what actually made him popular in the first place. But as he got bigger, he turned into a bigger and bigger tool. He's definitely a guy who could benefit from a heel turn as well....

agreed it wouldve been gold and Orton is younger and has twice the ability of Batista so he wouldve been better long term for the company...but they rushed and blew it

I just hate it when Hogan is going to get a victory over HBK, then when HBK lets over Shelton nobody will care because the fans will be laughing at HBK cause he lost to Hogan and nobody will remember that hopefully classic match :(

But RAW doesn't have any faces other than Cena in the main event, RVD comes back soon, then maybe a Cena heel turn (but we all know RVD is underappreciated and under pushed), or its rumored that HHH might come back as a face, but I can't see the average WWE fan accepting HHH as a reformed face right away, I also don't see the WWE machine turning its most valuable asset in to a "bad guy" and turning all the kids and marks away from Cena.

Yeah, that's true, and I highly doubt Cena will turn heel. I'm just saying that if there's one wrestler who could benefit from turning heel, it's Cena.

Shelton could fill that top face spot if Cena turned heel but that will never happen even if it did happen the fans wouldn't get behind him easily because his hard earned reputation is getting ruined by the Masterlock. :(

I think they're really trying as hard as possible to have the Masterlock be a powerful finisher.

In other words, it seems like the WWE is putting more stock in Masters now than Benjamin :o :(

well Hogan has lost his last 4 big matches so i see no reason why WWE should let him go over against one of the company's biggest assets

I think it has a lot to do with maybe Masters improving a bit. He's put on a couple good matches and the fact that no one has broken his Masterlock yet has kinda legitimized him.....
