Raw 6/7 Discussion

[straight_edge76]

The cast of the A-Team is guest hosts, but more importantly Rampage will be hosting Raw.

It's the 3 hour 'Viewer's Choice' Raw WTF ever that means. I expect alot of Hornswoggle, Rey and Cena

Despite how predictable this Raw will likely be, I will watch this I mean it's fucking RAMPAGE!!!

Discuss.

I'm nowhere near as excited about Rampage as you are... although I am shocked someone with a UFC contract can even come close to the company right now... especially considering UFC has a Spyke TV exclusive rights contract :/

 

[straight_edge76]

Yeah, well Rampage is my favorite UFC fighter. I believe that Dana White said as long as they don't actually partake in any physical activity they are good, they don't have to check with Dana with what promotional things they take part in.

But irl Rampage is atleast a legit host in kayfabe terms, he could legitmately beat the fuck out of the majority of the roster. Plus he said on his Twitter page that he was a huge wrestling fan as a kid.

 

[Luke Flywalker]

I say we get maybe 10 minutes into the show and we'll have Jericho bashing his disappointing performance from last weekend..............

...and a "heated" exchange...


...and then we'll hear about it on all media outlets tomorrow, and then it'll be forgotten by all but the archives of wrestling forums and youtube.




But the fact Vince okay'd having someone who is IMMEDIATELY identified with MMA/UFC with his expressed dislike of the sport and UFC in particular due to the losses of his big muscle in Lesnar, Lashley, and apparently now Batista... is overly shocking. There has to be some shots taken somehow tonight.

He's here to promote the A Team. I wouldn't expect any mention of UFC to be made at all.

Fuck, expect heels to get absolutely squashed tonight :shakeshead:.

That's most likely true. But personally just having a host that I'm actually looking forward too, hopefully they don't drop the ball with this one like they have with past hosts (Austin, Bret etc). But I do however see someone, likely to be Ryder or Santino to 'challenge' him to some sort of fight just for LOL's.

SMACKDOWN! STARS WILL BE THERE!?!?!?? OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111ONE!11EXLAMATION12!2112

Just end the brand extension already.

 

[maty619]

Yh, they are always having Smackdowners on Raw, it used to be something exciting that you only ever saw at the draft and other special occasions but now it is every other week. I think it may be since they started having all PPVs being between the two brands.

 

[chessarmy]

^ no, its because the roster is awful and can't support a brand split.

 

[Chuck Taylor's Grenade]

Why do I get the feeling we're gonna see Hornswoggle vs. Jack Swagger? And why do I also get the feeling that Hornswoggle will win?

 

[-Constantine]

They should really end the damn split. It opens up a million more possible angles and story lines.

 

[JurassicBonez]

Ya know what they funniest thing is, they've yet to open up any type of poll on their website for any matches. Am I to believe that the voting will go on DURING Raw? Pfft. I don't believe in these fan voting things, and doing this is helping prove the theory.

He's here to promote the A Team. I wouldn't expect any mention of UFC to be made at all.

Yeah, I highly doubt they're going to mention anything with the UFC. If they are, it's going to be a one time insider thing that Cena will say.

 

[-Constantine]

Cyber Sunday is good. I like that. It could use improvements but I do like that ppv. This, if it is voting during raw. Is stupid.

 

[xtremebadass]

Is it me or does Bret Hart still appear not to have a fucking clue what he's talking about? That whole opening promo with Teddy Long was pathetic. I understand he is still getting back into the WWE, but still he has been on screen for quite sometime. Teddy had to whisper into Bret's ear what to say. Ugh.

Still waiting to see Rampage.
