    Why book CM Punk vs. Jericho in the semi finals? It's obvious that the winner is going to win the KOTR. Why not have it be in the finals?

    I'm pissed Jericho didn't go over there. I understand that they need to build up Punk but I'm just not a Punk fan, I find him very awkward and boring.

    I'm trying to figure out the whole political race presented on WWE. Why are they doing that?

    Are..you arguing with yourself bro? :lol:
    You know what p'd me off? McCain messing up the FINALLY THE MAC HAS....COME BACK,TO>>>> SOUTH CAROLINA!!!!! I worked real hard on that for him. Thats why I'm voting for the peoples champ. Ba'Rock, do you smell his ear wax? Regal winning was weak, IMO. I dont see the point. The Regal, Finlay match could have been SO, SO, much better. Those are two of the best grappling workers in the biz. The injury angle was unneeded, the match could have went either way fairly, IMO. Umaga is republican, BTW.

    :confused2:.... i dont know anymore lol.

    Yeah I agree with your assesment. Raw was weak overall tonight outside of the main event, 8 man tag match. I kinda liked it.

    3 hours is too long for Raw. If you cut the silly political "fight", the stupid girls party and trimmed down the Shawn/Batista interview, you havea nice sound Raw in my opinion.

    A couple of things I like:

    -I liked the King of the Ring Tournament beingheld on Raw on one night. It gives the night a big time feel in my opinion. It also forces WRESTLING to occur on a wrestling show.

    -I liked how they built to Regal winnning. I actually have no problems with him winning and doing so cleanly. Regal is a legit badass and it appears they are trying to build him up as such, which is fine by me. He gets a reaction and his look recently as some type of crazed lunatic has seemed to resonate with the fans.

    -I liked the backstage promo segments for the main eventers. It reminded me of yester-year and how ormos used to be cut. In a studio with a camera on you. It was kind of a nice nod to history, I hope they do more of it.


    -Was I the only one surprised that they actually got THE presidential candidates to say a few words? I thought that was a huge boon for WWE. Also, I am an independant voter who has not made up his mind (I like all three) but I felt Obama came off the best. McCain tried too hard with all the catchphrases and Hillary was too quick imo.

    -The main event was cool. I am a sucker for the multiple finishers to end a match thing thoguh. I always think it looks cool.

    All in all, I think I actually liked Raw this week. Just too dern long.

    I'm actually surprised that the WWE didn't do another draft. I always liked the KOTR toury but I hated how they wasted a spot on Hornswaggle. I'm glad Punk didn't go over as I'm bored of his act already, and have no problem with Regal winning who is a very good worker and is good on the mike.
     
  14. Samphin

    Samphin Κακό σκυλί ψόφο δεν έχει

    I thought the hornswaggle thing was a tad lame too. I thought they were gonna have him win against Regal to set up a match against his dad (which he would win when Finlay laid down) and have him somehow win the finals making a joke of the tourney. Glad to see them play it the way it should have been played. Regal just polaxing the lil guy.

    I also like that Regal won for two reasons. A, he was fresher of the two guys having fought a midget and an injured Finlay,

    and B, had Punk won, I feel there would have been a backlash against him for getting the superman cena push. So the WWE probably did themselves a favor having him lose and looking human.

    finally watched Raw... like the KOTR on free tv idea. i didn't mind the show running 3 hours either, since i watched it on DVR and had the luxury of the FF button.

    am i the only one who thinks the best angle they are running right now is the women's division?

    i didn't mind Regal winning initially, i have always liked watching him wrestle. but the more i think about it, is it really such a good thing to have the boss owning the talent in the ring like that?

    i'll reserve judgement until i see how it plays out down the line.

    anybody know if they are still doing a draft in the next few weeks?

    ECW has turned into a joke. The name means nothing now. Its just another hour of smackdown that you see on a different day. For instants two of the biggest draws on ECW are the Smackdown tag team champions. Taking Joey Styles off of commentating duties was the final piece, IMO, of "WWEing" ECW all together. I hate the fact that Shelton has been buried on ECW, he is such a good performer. the match between him and Kofi was actually pretty decent. I dont know....it seems anymore being the ECW champion is like a consolation prize or something. I dont see how they can even begin to think its ok to have a believable rivalry between Kane and Chavo. Smackdown is just a bore to watch. Some of it is decent. I like Jesse and Festus, The Festus, Taker match was pretty good I thought. MVP is a great character and I look for him to be on Raw soon.

    where do y'all think they are going with the Michaels/Jericho/Batista angle???

    any chance they turn HBK heel?

    and, so what was the point of building up Kennedy versus Regal for two weeks, putting Kennedy in the main event, and then basicly squashing him in the tag match to Chavo Guerrerro?

    and then to have HHH Hulk up and squash the entire roster of ECW with a chair.

    all that just to get the Randy Orton RKO in at the end of the show?

    Just an FYI ... WWE was a big contributor to the Bush campaigns in 2000 and 2004. The Rock gave a speech at the RNC a few years ago ... and a few weeks back we had the Obama vs. Hillary "match" on RAW. I'm not one to mix my entertainment and wrestling, but you are all entitled to know that there may be ulterior motives at work. It's not all just about "getting the kids to vote."

    You sure about that bro? Because I'm fairly certain that Jim Hellwig (Ultimate Warrior) legally changed his name to 'Warrior' a few years back ... then sued WWE (then the WWF) for rights to the name ...

    watching Raw earlier and, i have never seen anyone deflate quicker than Snitsky. i guess he got off the juice.

    every bit of muscle tone on his body is gone. his arms look puny and there is a layer of fat jiggling all over him.

    worse, and more obvious than when Chris Masters went drug free. lol

    I've been watching SmackDown recently, and I personally hate the decision to strip the Undertaker of his title.

    I think he'll beat Edge though on Judgement Day.

    Partially right. He DID change his name to Warrior. He then went back and changed it again to..."Warrior Warrior." That's right, he added a last name that is the same as his first name.

    Afterall what is more fearce than a warrior? a WARRIOR warrior...thats what.

    The guy is actually an intelligent guy, but he bleieves his own hype too much and makes the republican party he spouts of for look idiotic (even moreso than they already are and before you hate me I think democrats suck too).

    When Orton got injured once (out of his 3 bajillion injuries), he came to Raw and was noticeably smaller. Vince even came out and berated him on camera about it. Truth be told, I think it was a horrible message to send everyone in the locker room. Get off the juice and be prepared to get ridiculed on national TV by the boss.

    i recall that as well... and i recall something similar happening to Chris Masters i believe. seems like he got called out on the air as well.

    i find it interesting about Snitsky though, because no one alive will convince me that Cena and Triple H are not juicers too (among many others of course), and that there is a different set of rules applied to them, even after the Benoit family tragedy and the scrutiny it brought the WWE.

    I don't know about Triple H, but I can believe Cena to be juice-free. He was a D-III All-American center during his college years.
