WWE Raw & Smackdown Weekly Thread

I like Lashley because he is an alternative to loudmouth wrestlers who do more talking than wrestling. Sometimes I think it's cool to see a guy who goes out there and wins over the crowd with his wrestling alone without any over the top storylines or catchphrases helping getting him over.

By the way Stek I hear talk about about the guys you don't like (Jeff Hardy and Kennedy), but who are the guys that you like?

According to WWE.com Raw will be broadcasted on Sci-Fi tonight except on the West Coast it will be on USA as usual due to the US open.

i didn't like Jeff back before he was fired, but i am glad to see him back.. just feels like the good old days

Kurt Angle was the best
Lesnar was great
Triple H can do anything
Benoit, as they say.. the best damn technical wrestler in wrestling
Jericho, good in ring skills and more charisma than Santa

Trish confirms retirement

As first reported Monday night on WWE.com and in a WWE Mobile Alert, Trish Stratus is set to retire from in-ring action following Unforgiven next month. After Women’s Champion Lita called WWE.com to break the story on Monday, Trish confirmed on Tuesday morning that she indeed will be hanging up the boots.

Trish told WWE.com that she was upset that Lita chose to break the story how she did, as she wanted to tell the WWE fans in her own way. However, the six-time Women’s Champion then refused any additional comment, saying she will address the situation this coming Monday night on RAW.

On Monday afternoon, Lita called the WWE.com offices to announce Trish’s retirement. Apparently, Lita overheard a personal telephone conversation this weekend between Trish and her parents about her decision to retire.

“Trish was saying that the road has been taking its toll on her and it was time to take some time for herself,” Lita told WWE.com, “but the hardest part was that she couldn’t decide how to tell her fans. Well, being the good friend that I am, I figured I’d break the news through WWE.com to alleviate her worries and save her the trouble of figuring out how to let down all her fans like that.”

How will Trish address this blockbuster announcement? Find out on RAW Monday night.

Kurt Angle was the best
Lesnar was great
Triple H can do anything
Benoit, as they say.. the best damn technical wrestler in wrestling
Jericho, good in ring skills and more charisma than Santa

That's a good list except for HHH.....I can't stand that guy. Lesnar wrestled too short to make my list, but when he wrestled in the WWE he was great.

my all-time list is as follows:
1. Rocky....he was exactly what he claimed to be which is the best damn entertainer in wwe history

2. Angle he was the greatest wrestler ever he could talk, he could wrestle, he always stayed fresh by constantly reinventing his character, and every match was ppv quality

3. Shawn Michaels I don't care much for the 21st century Shawn, but the old Shawn from the 90's was great

4. Undertaker great storylines over the course of his career

5. Macho Man from the 80's and early 90's.....in my opinion he had some of the most memorable moments in WWE history teaming with Hogan to form the Mega Powers, his WM 3 match with Ricky Steamboat, fighting with Hogan over Ms. Elizabeth, the retirement match against the Ultimate Warrior, and teaming up with Scary Sherry. I hope Vince makes a Macho Man DVD soon even if it is a Self Destruction of Randy Savage DVD.



my current favorite wrestlers are

1. Mysterio
2. Beniot
3. Lashley...he is the next Lesnar
4. Shelton....every night he does something that seems impossible
5. Victoria....cutiest diva in my opinion

Did anyone see the Masterpiece yesterday? After his suspension for using steriods he shrunk a lot, but after lossing his musles he looked a lot more flexible and he looked good in the ring for a change. I still think that he needs to get a better finisher than a half-nelson

 

[bigbadbrody]

The Masterpiece sucks so much, just like always his wrestling skills dsapointed me.


I am glad that Jeff Hardy is back, he is gonna be the next Intercontinental Champion

Dx need to drop the tag titles to another team soon, there gimmick is going down the drain.

I am very sad to hear and read that trish is leaving the wwe:******:

 

[spunkymonkey110]

C'mon Brody you have to admit that this week Masters wrestled his best match ever (which doesn’t really say too much, because like you his wrestling disappoints me), but I was pleasantly surprised by Masters this week. Cena vs Masters doesn’t scream instant classic……I guess my expectations were so low that anything would have impressed me, but Masters had learned a few new moves during his suspension and he looked okay….not great, but definitely better than he ever looked.


By the way DX isn’t tag champs….the sprit squad are the champs, but I do agree that DX has become stale. DX appears to be in a never ending feud with the McMahons that isn’t going anywhere. I think DX should start a new feud with someone else or turn on each other and start the HBK vs HHH war again. Either option is way better than the current feud DX has going on with the McMahons.

As for Jeff Hardy being IC Champ, I highly doubt it. I like Jeff and he should be champ, but Vince has a history of burying wrestlers from other promotions to make his promotion look stronger and I think Jeff going to be the next wrestler who Vince will bury.

 

[spunkymonkey110]

Here is who I think will win why and how

Edge def Cena via DQ

Nitro def Hardy Via DQ from Melina as usual
Trish Def Lita via DQ cause its her last match
Hilanders def Spirit Squad, cause the Squad is gonna be broken up soon I hope
Carlito def Orton, cause orton is going down hill
Umaga def Kane, cuase they they will never let him lose

Hmmm...tough choices...but I say...

Cena defeats Edge (Hometown boys ALWAYS lose)
DX defeats McMahons...but whoever wins just END this boring storyline...please!!!
Hardy defeats Nitro
Lita defeats Trish (Hometown girls ALWAYS lose...shame really. Love to see her win the title and go out as a champ. Just wishfull thinking though.)
Highlanders defeat Spirit Squad (Only lock choice of the night)
Orton defeats Carlito
Umaga defeats KAne

Well, 3 out of 6 ain't bad. I'm not counting the Umaga vs Kane match because they just left the ring...and seemed to have dissappeared!

 

[spunkymonkey110]

You did a lot better than my 2 out of 6. Most of the PPVs have only one or two matches that are hard to predict, but every match was really hard to predict with this PPV. Unforgiven had a lot of surprises Trish winning the title, Cena staying on Raw (I thought for sure Cena and Kennedy were going to switch shows), and the Sprit Squad winning were the biggest surprises to me. Did anyone buy this PPV if so do they suggest buying it when it comes out on DVD?

Does anyone think Cena should have gone back to Smackdown or is he better being on Raw?

 

[bigbadbrody]

I was hoping that Cena would have gone to smackdown. I think smackdown need somebody like cena to help get the show bak on its feet. There are not many wrestlers on smackdown that are seat fillers, if you know what i mean.

I was sure the higlanders wre gonna win, what a shock when the spirit squad won. I guess they are not gonna be breaking them up anytime soon.

I cant belive that I only guessed 3 matches right

 

[stek1983]

not sure if i'm aloud to do this but I've got tickets for the Raw and SmackDown! tapings at the M.E.N Arena for sale on eBay, here are the links if you're interested.
Raw is on Monday 13th November and SmackDown on Tuesday 14th.

WWE Raw
WWE SmackDown!

 

[spunkymonkey110]

You should be okay people resell wrestling tickets all of the time, I doubt that authorities will come knocking on your door. Another site that You Might want to try is stubhub they have a section that sells wwe tickets.....http://www.stubhub.com/wwe-tickets/.

 

[spunkymonkey110]

I just recently went on stubhub and I am not sure if it will work for you Stek, because the only tickets that I saw were sporting events in the US. I didn't see any tickets for anything in England, so stubhub might just be a site were you can only buy and sell tickets for US sporting events....sorry to misinform you stek.

 

[spunkymonkey110]

I would have loved seeing Cena back on Smackdown because to me he was far more entertaining on Smackdown than he is on Raw. Like you mentioned earlier Cena would have been the elite superstar that Smackdown needs. I think Smackdown could be a great show right now if Vince stops using Smackdown as Raw's development show. It appears that whenever Smackdown has a young promising wrestler, Raw snatches him from Smackdown.

As for the PPV, don't feel bad about guessing only 3 matches correctly. Unforgiven was a hard PPV to predict, I can't remember the last time that there was a PPV that was so unpredictable. I hope that the WWE will continue to have more unpredictable PPVs, because I love it when the WWE throws a few surprises.

Just curious to all the WWE fans what is your all-time favorite unpredictable WWE moment?

My old school moment had to be when the Mega Powers broke up. For those unfamiliar with the storyline the Mega Powers were Hogan and Savage…..for about two years they were unstoppable and great friends then Savage got jealous over how Hogan and Ms. Elizabeth (Savage’s girlfriend) were getting too friendly. Eventually Savage turned on Hogan and then the Mega Powers split thus creating a ***** match at wrestlemania (Savage vs Hogan).

My recent favorite unpredictable moment (within a year) was when Edge cashed in his Money in the Bank to beat Cena for the Elimination Chamber match. I thought it was a cheap way to get the belt, but I never saw it coming so I loved it.

 

[Stevie]

I didn't find Unforgiven to be unpredictable:

WWE Championship: TLC
Edge © vs. John Cena

This match was a lock for Cena to win, as reported everywhere.

Hell In A Cell
The McMahons w/Big Show vs. D-Generation X

Too easy to tell that DX would win. Trips, job out to Vince, at a PPV. lol

Intercontinental Championship
Jeff Hardy vs. Johnny Nitro © w/Melina

A bit unsure, but I really knew not to expect a new champ here.

Tag Team Championship
Spirit Squad © vs. The Highlanders

This one, yes. Everything said the Highlanders were going to get the win, and the end of the SS was coming. But guess they held it all off again.

Women's Championship
Lita © vs. Trish Stratus

Same with Cena.

Randy Orton vs. Carlito

Expected a Randy win. Too many faces would of won.

Kane vs. Umaga

Yes, unpredicatble. And lame as well.

Yes, that was unexpected

On raw last night I was expecting to see a new intercontinental champion. I was pissed off when Nitro pulled an edge and retained his title. I dont like edge and lita, I used to before they were paired together but not after. Nitro and Melina are the exact duplicates of edge and lita, just with the intercontinental title and not the wwe title. when nitro won the match it made me realise that for sure. I **** all four of them.
