WWE Raw & Smackdown Weekly Thread

[Slam]

Could people who post match results just post a quick line above it saying Spoiler please? I really appreicate the presence of this thread and the information but it would be a lot easier to skip stuff I didn't want to read till after I saw the match if I could know before I actually read it

But spoilers like the ones that say "Oh this is going to happen on the next one", like the ones that are basically guesses, those are fine. Some people don't live in the earliest time zones. Thanks.

**EDIT** Read americanharley's post after I wrote that. Thanks man.

It would be great to see RVD back, but from reports he is apparently a heel off camera. If, in fact, he does come back, I can't see him going against the fans. I don't like to admit it, but I see him as a future TNA employee.

Saturday Night's Main Event returns in March
November 30, 2005

Saturday Night’s Main Event is returning to NBC this March after a 13-year hiatus. In the mid-1980s through early 1990s, WWE fans would scour the television listings each month — making sure they didn’t miss the highly anticipated special that replaced network staple Saturday Night Live on occasion. When Jon Lovitz, Dennis Miller and Dana Carvey weren’t performing comedy sketches, WWE Superstars were squaring off in matches that often took on a pay-per-view feel.

Here are some of the most memorable moments from the original run of Saturday Night’s Main Event:

On Nov. 2, 1985, Hulk Hogan & Andre the Giant defeated King Kong Bundy & Big John Studd by disqualification in a match remembered for the size and stature of its participants.

On March 1, 1986, Hulk Hogan retained the WWE Championship against "Magnificent" Don Muraco via disqualification. But this match was infamous for King Kong Bundy’s interference and assault. In the end, Muraco and Bundy broke Hogan’s ribs.

On May 3, 1986, the British Bulldogs beat Iron Shiek & Nikolai Volkoff in a best two-of-three falls match for the World Tag Team Championship. This was indicative of the strength of the tag team division, which was often spotlighted on Saturday Night’s Main Event in multiple-fall battles.

On Jan. 3, 1987, Hulk Hogan battled “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff in a truly memorable Steel Cage Match for the WWE Championship. Both men scaled the cage and hit the floor simultaneously, causing immense controversy and the restart of the match.

Apparently there will be Smackdown this Friday, and Tuesday was just a bonus. Anyone interested in spoilers for SD, feel free to pm me.:thumbsup:
WWE.com

Friday Night SmackDown rolls into Cincinnati this Friday night, and it will be a night of celebration, opportunity and explanations.

The SmackDown Special ended in a fiery blaze, as Randy Orton drove Undertaker through the SmackDown stage in an Eddie Guerrero memorial lowrider. Flames engulfed The Phenom and the vehicle. Orton was originally scheduled to be this week's guest on Byte This!, but said he would reveal what he had to say on Friday Night SmackDown instead. What will come from “The Legend Killer’s” shocking actions? Tune in to Friday Night SmackDown to find out.

Also on the SmackDown Special, the match between Rey Mysterio and Big Show degenerated into a brawl when Kane got involved. This Friday night, Mysterio looks for revenge, and has enlisted JBL as his partner to take on Show & Kane. Will SmackDown reign supreme over RAW once again?

At Survivor Series, Randy Orton stood tall as the sole survivor, leading Team SmackDown over Team RAW in a classic Survivor Series Match, and The Boogeyman helped Theodore Long defeat RAW GM Eric Bischoff. What will Long have to say following another successful pay-per-view showing, and will he have any thoughts on Eric Bischoff's precarious situation?

Plus, the Boogeyman will make his in-ring debut, and six teams will compete in a Tag Team Battle Royal for an opportunity to face WWE Tag Team Champions MNM at Armageddon.

Tune into UPN this Friday night at 8/7 CT for all this and more.

Someone in WWE is pissed

Impact Wrestling:

-- Expressing outrage over the fact that the SmackDown! wrestlers agreed to take part in the controversial angle Tuesday, one top WWE wrestler sent the following email to reporter Dave Meltzer, who, while condemning the decision to run the angle, did not blame the wrestlers who were assigned to take part:

"Everyone has the power to say "No." Booking reprisals be damned. There comes a time when you have to stand up for what you believe in. Vincent Kennedy McMahon may have a hissy fit for a few weeks, but with the talent roster as thin as it is right now, nothing majorly bad would happen. Even if it did, it wouldn't last, because he has nobody else to carry the load. Shame on all of those guys."

What angle is this referring to?

What angle is this referring to?

I'm thinking Eddie Guerrero's car. Seeing as there was only two matches on tuesday, what else could it be. Some have felt that the WWE is milking EG's death for all they could get out of it.

Looks like the WWE Raw is doing its part in helping USA's ratings:

The ratings success in November 2005 was driven by WWE’s MONDAY NIGHT RAW, LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT and LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT, as well as the acquired theatricals HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN TEN DAYS and FRIDAY AFTER NEXT.

MONDAY NIGHT RAW at 9p on 11/14/05 was the top rated basic cable entertainment program in all of basic cable for November 2005 in households (4.6), P18-49 (2.9) and P25-54 (2.8), with 5.7 million viewers. WWE's muscle has made USA the #1 network in prime each Monday of November among key demos (P18-34, P18-49 and P25-54) and total viewers.

MONDAY NIGHT RAW telecasts have placed in the top five of all basic cable prime programs among both P18-49 and P25-54 in each week since its return to USA. In addition, every telecast of MONDAY NIGHT RAW on USA in November ranked in the basic cable top 30 telecasts for the month.

WWE continues to feel at home on USA, with the eight airings to date delivering +10% higher among households, +16% higher among total viewers, +41% higher among P18-34, +22% higher among P18-49 and +13% higher among P25-54 than the program's performance on Spike during the same eight weeks last year.

Acquired theatricals once again equal success for USA. The Saturday 11/12/05 8p network premiere of HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN TEN DAYS was the highest rated movie of the month among P18-49 (1.8). The Sunday 11/13/05 8p airing made it the highest rated movie of the month among P18-34 with a 1.8 rating. Also, USA's network premiere of FRIDAY AFTER NEXT at 8p on Friday 11/25/05 was the #1 movie of the week among P18-49 (1.6) and P25-54 (1.6), and ranked in the P25-54 basic cable top 30 telecasts of November 2005.

USA’s procedural dramas, with LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT at 10p on Saturday 11/26/05 and LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT at 9p on Wednesday 11/02/05, ranked as the two highest rated basic cable procedural dramas in all of November 2005 among P25-54 with a 1.7 for LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT and a 1.6 for LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT.

USA placed more programs in the November 2005 basic cable top 30 list than any other network among P25-54, with 13 telecasts: eight hours of MONDAY NIGHT RAW, two airings of the USA movie HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN TEN DAYS, one airing of the USA movie FRIDAY AFTER NEXT, one episode of LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT and one episode of LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT.

Bad news for Smackdown:

Ken Kennedy's ascension up the WWE ranks looks to be on hold for the time being. He just suffered an injury similar to Batista, a lat tear, and he's out indefinitely.

-- According to reports, Ken Kennedy suffered a lat tear that is said to be even more serious than the one Batista experienced a few weeks ago.

Kennedy is now out indefinitely.

It isn't known when the actual injury took place. We hope to have more details when they are available.
