Reel Interesting Night

When Raw rolls into Oakland, Calif., on Monday night, Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho has high hopes that Shawn Michaels will be there to join him on a special episode of the Highlight Reel.

In recent weeks, Y2J has been sending mixed signals. During his Judgment Day Match against Michaels, Jericho chomped at the notion of taking out The Showstopper. Then, at One Night Stand, Jericho willed Michaels on in his losing effort against Batista. And last week, Y2J even dedicated his match against JBL to a recovering Michaels.

What exactly does the Intercontinental Champion have in mind by inviting HBK onto the Highlight Reel? And exactly which Chris Jericho will show up?

On a more moneyed note, Mr. McMahon explained last week that he’s poised to give out $1 million of his own money to show his appreciation to loyal Raw viewers in McMahon’s Million Dollar Mania sweepstakes. Register and tune in for your chance to win a share of the Chairman's loot.

Have you registered to win Mr. McMahon’s money yet? If not, what are you waiting for? Enter to win now!

In other Raw action, John Cena defeated Jeff Hardy last week and won an opportunity to face Triple H for the WWE Title at Night of Champions. In the lead up to the pay-per-view, how will these two opponents prove their dominance? And which of them will capture the momentum in the run-up to Night of Champions?

If all that weren’t enough, don’t forget the seismic shift that’s sure to occur in two weeks when WWE holds its brand-wide draft.

[FOTH 3:16]

Hey Ya'll this is the thread to discuss what you think will happen on RAW tonight and how good you think it will be.

[C.M.V.P]

Raw starts in 5 minutes

where is everybody?

[klunderbunker]

I'm here.

[A.J.]

so whats the code :p

[klunderbunker]

So we have a feud that is dead being pushed even more, and Hardy losing to HHH. great raw.

[C.M.V.P]

so whats the code :p

X2

[Steamboat Ricky]

I think that Hardy beats Triple H tonight.

[C.M.V.P]

WWE Universe

[Steamboat Ricky]

seriously....Hardy ftw tonight.

[A.J.]

WWE Universe

thats the code?

Who here thinks we can see Hardy vs Cena vs HHH at NOC....I just dont see WWE leaving Hardy off the PPV

plus it helps to build HHH vs Cena for Summerslam

[SCSA31693]

KENNEDY........KENNEDY to a big pop

[Steamboat Ricky]

HAHAHAHAHA...a "hot number" I don't think she'd appreciate that King.

[C.M.V.P]

thats the code?

Who here thinks we can see Hardy vs Cena vs HHH at NOC....I just dont see WWE leaving Hardy off the PPV

plus it helps to build HHH vs Cena for Summerslam

Yes

[klunderbunker]

I was hoping theyd let this match be built up a bit more.

[lionheart01]

i didnt think they would have this kennedy-burchill match so soon. they could have built it more for ppv

[SCSA31693]

i liked it if they continue this fued it will be awesome

[Steamboat Ricky]

Who here thinks we can see Hardy vs Cena vs HHH at NOC....I just dont see WWE leaving Hardy off the PPV

plus it helps to build HHH vs Cena for Summerslam


That's why Hardy beats Trips tonight. Gives himself claim to the number 1 contendership.

[SCSA31693]

major heat on burchill, the commentators are playing up kennedys push

[Steamboat Ricky]

This is a hoax.

[wwe_scotland]

Night of Champions looming....What you guys thinking for Y2J's opponent. HBK? Or do you think someone else will come into frame. HBK being an ex-IC Champ as he was one of the best IC Champs back in early 90s. Also who will challenge for World Tag Team titles at night of Champions? Santino and Carlito arent ex-champs nor is London and Kendrik, So whats your views on this. A legendary tag team coming back?

[Steamboat Ricky]

maybe not.

[Steamboat Ricky]

jericho/hbk go for tag titles?

[hardrocker488]

I think WWE just got Rick Rolled

[Rated R Superstar95]

UGH! How many times have we had the Hilight Reel with HBK? Like 6?

[A.J.]

That's why Hardy beats Trips tonight. Gives himself claim to the number 1 contendership.

I agree thats why i dont find it odd that Hardy is facing Trips tonight...I be shocked...SHOCKED if Hardy lost tonight.

[Steamboat Ricky]

they should have y2j lose the IC title to burchill via Katie Lea interference. Then, have Burchill v. Kennedy at NOC for IC title...allowing HBK/Y2J v. Rhodes/Hardcore to happen.

[wwe_scotland]

Im thinking perhaps, Y2J vs. Hardy at NOC, or even a triple threat with Y2J, Hardy and HBK. Im lead to believe the theme is current and former champions and Hardy has never won the top title. No doubt Im barking up the wrong tree but was just what I thought.

[lionheart01]

man i hope hardy goes over hhh tonight, it could prolong the big cena-hhh match till summerslam

[Steamboat Ricky]

I agree thats why i dont find it odd that Hardy is facing Trips tonight...I be shocked...SHOCKED if Hardy lost tonight.

That's why we are on the same team. Go team blue! Go Hardy! Hardy ftw! Hardy/Cena/HHH = a butt every 13 inches.

[wwe_scotland]

Sorry I need to correct myself. I just remember London and Kendrik held the WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS during the South African tour last year. My bad.

[klunderbunker]

Mickie, wearing less than usual. Norcal likes Raw.

[RatedRLegendKiller]

Mickie lookin Hotttttt :)

[twisterwrw929]

Im thinking perhaps, Y2J vs. Hardy at NOC, or even a triple threat with Y2J, Hardy and HBK. Im lead to believe the theme is current and former champions and Hardy has never won the top title. No doubt Im barking up the wrong tree but was just what I thought.

If they're doing it the same way as last years, you do not have to be a former champion to challenge for a championship. The only thing was that every title had to be on the line.

[Y_2_aJ]

Just got in, what have I missed on RAW? or not much?

[SCSA31693]

Melina Goes Face

[wwe_scotland]

If they're doing it the same way as last years, you do not have to be a former champion to challenge for a championship. The only thing was that every title had to be on the line.

My bad, sorry man. Don't know what made me think otherwise. Aww well....

:flair:

[RatedRLegendKiller]

I Won I Won

[C.M.V.P]

Vince is calling me

[RatedRLegendKiller]

This is truly sad that WWE has to stoop to these levels just to get ratings

[lionheart01]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!


-sorry but i was watchin the ric flair dvd before raw

[Moon Knight]

I won't win shit.

[hardrocker488]

Am I the only one that thought the WWE getting Rick Rolled was f*cking hilarious.

[lionheart01]

This is truly sad that WWE has to stoop to these levels just to get ratings

yea it is sad that they have to do this to try and get ratings up when they have the talent to turn the show around. o well hopefully theyll get it right soon.....

[C.M.V.P]

I won't win shit.

X2

[RatedRLegendKiller]

ya

[Y_2_aJ]

I take it money was given out before the diva match?
What happened before that? or was the diva match the first?

[RatedRLegendKiller]

Two best, ya fucking right, I want to see true athletes like HBK, Y2J, Hardy, Punk, Hardy2, MVP, in the main event, not guys like Cena, Trips, Tista and especially JBL

[C.M.V.P]

I take it money was given out before the diva match?
What happened before that? or was the diva match the first?

Kennedy beat Burchill then Katie slap kenneedy & then Burchill attack Kennedy
After that Mcmahon gave away $200,000 then the divas match happen

[Y_2_aJ]

Woo Charlie Haas!

[klunderbunker]

I take it money was given out before the diva match?
What happened before that? or was the diva match the first?

200k before the diva match.

[lionheart01]

Holy crap charlie Haas...........................

[Y_2_aJ]

Kennedy beat Burchill then Katie slap kenneedy & then Burchill attack Kennedy
After that Mcmahon gave away $200,000 then the divas match happen

Thanks :)

I missed Kennedy :(

and "Dave FTW"

[wwe_scotland]

Poor bastard thats phones busy lol

[Y_2_aJ]

Mae Young anyone?

[C.M.V.P]

maria

[Y_2_aJ]

Called it :)

"damn"

[Steamboat Ricky]

i like how they tricked us with maria first

[C.M.V.P]

cena vs jbl next

[lionheart01]

yaa....cena versus some fat washed up wrestler in jbl

its sad when cena has to carry an opponent

[Steamboat Ricky]

watch them try to fit JBL in the title match at NOC

[Steamboat Ricky]

i didn't know that about the language.


new triple h music???? omg

[lionheart01]

did they change HHH's music to the king of kings?

[Bentallica]

Am I the only one that thought the WWE getting Rick Rolled was f*cking hilarious.

No, I laughed as well. I'm sure that that's what the guy had in mind when he bought that ringback tone.

[twisterwrw929]

Not exactly new, just his King of Kings song

[Steamboat Ricky]

triple h should only have one song

[Steamboat Ricky]

did he say clitorial tear?

[Steamboat Ricky]

I made a belt out of altoid tins.

[Monkey Winchester]

*Looking Forward to the Trips Heel Turn*

[Steamboat Ricky]

Trips, thanks for putting me over.
:p

[Monkey Winchester]

I think weve figured out who has A Dial Up connection here in the LD tonight. All the regulars arent on LOL

[justinsayne]

Yes just in time for Cena vs. JBL...:zzzz:

[That's Just Weird]

How come Cena gets to bury everyone's finishers?

[pacmenace]

How come Cena gets to bury everyone's finishers?

Because he's a combination of the ultimate warrior and hulk hogan

DUH!

[That's Just Weird]

Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel featuring HBK with a screenshot from the LAST CJHR... featuring HBK...

Whyy won't they useee Jerichooo

[Steamboat Ricky]

What a horrible match. Hardy really needs to be in this match. Please, Vince. PLEASE.

[justinsayne]

How come Cena gets to bury everyone's finishers?

Well would it really make much sense for the #1 contender to get beat by JBL and then to have people beleive he is a real threat to Triple H's title?

[justinsayne]

So where are all the regulars tonight?

[That's Just Weird]

Well would it really make much sense for the #1 contender to get beat by JBL and then to have people beleive he is a real threat to Triple H's title?

Er, JBL shouldn't have even connected his finisher. Imagine if everyone just kicked out of the Pedigree? HHH would shit his pants back stage.

[Y_2_aJ]

Cena won with an inside cradle LOL

[justinsayne]

Er, JBL shouldn't have even connected his finisher. Imagine if everyone just kicked out of the Pedigree? HHH would shit his pants back stage.

So you would rather Cena just gone out their and squashed JBL?

[That's Just Weird]

So you would rather Cena just gone out their and squashed JBL?

Yes.

Yes I would. Then everyone would bitch about Cena again. Like me.

[C.M.V.P]

So where are all the regulars tonight?

dont know

[Y_2_aJ]

all on a Dial-Up internet connection, and hoping Vinnie Mac will call them

[ortonchamp28]

jericho heel turn

[Gavel]

Holy shit, FINALLY Jericho go heel. Maybe NOW he can get a REAL story line.

[wwe_scotland]

Come on Y2J! Beat Michaels down haha!

[Paul Revere]

Yes! I really hope this a full-fledged turn.

[SCSA31693]

yesssss the heel turn thank you

[Steamboat Ricky]

um, holy crap?

[Paul Revere]

Haha...well I think it is.

[justinsayne]

Yes.

Yes I would. Then everyone would bitch about Cena again. Like me.

They still bitch about him, TBH it's just getting old, there is really no point to it anymore, I'm not a Cena fan by any means, but I will give him credit in that he bust his ass for the company and is one of there biggest draws in the business right now, Cena isn't going anywhere, so really there is no point to bitching about him


Finally, Jericho turns fucking heel!!!!!:headbanger:

[SCSA31693]

that was sick

[That's Just Weird]

Finally. For the love of shit we get to see something interesting out of Y2J.

[Gavel]

Head through the Jeritron and no blood?

[DrOOpieS]

About freakin time for the Y2J heel turn. Thank you god.

[SCSA31693]

now what does jericho do with the IC title? I'm thinking it has to get to kennedy somehow?

[wwe_scotland]

His expensive Jeritron 6000 lol Now he needs to buy a new one :L

[IC25]

That was wonderful. Absolutely fantastic. To Hell with Michaels.

[IC25]

His expensive Jeritron 6000 lol Now he needs to buy a new one :L

He's hoping Vince calls him with the money so he can afford it.

[wwe_scotland]

Hardy IC again, its a forgotten championship now. Badly needs to be made great like it was previously in the 90s. Its got to mean something again.

[Dark Blaze]

That was SICK! I love the Jericho heel turn.....but damn...SICK.

[justinsayne]

That was wonderful. Absolutely fantastic. To Hell with Michaels.

Tsk tsk... Your little modding partner is going to be none to pleased with that little remark:lmao:

[wwe_scotland]

He's hoping Vince calls him with the money so he can afford it.

Yeah lol Hope he has his cell phone on lol

[Dark Blaze]

Hardy IC again, its a forgotten championship now. Badly needs to be made great like it was previously in the 90s. Its got to mean something again.

Nah, probably gonna do Y2J vs. HBK for it at NOC....when was the last time HBK actually fought for a title?

[IC25]

Tsk tsk... Your little modding partner is going to be none to pleased with that little remark:lmao:

I plan to make it worse, just you watch my friend!

[Y_2_aJ]

Shame it wasnt even the Jeritron as it was just a sugar glass sign.

Watch when it breaks, the bit still left in the frame shows the "Chris Jericho Highlight Reel" image still on it.

Just a cheap imitation there to try and fool the fans...didnt fool me

[SCSA31693]

hardy is in the main event picture right now he cant bring anything back to the IC title strap it on kennedy i say because hes blowing up, have him fued back and forth over it with burchill, hell that would be great, more entertaining than HHH Cena 371903712 times over

[wwe_scotland]

Y2J and HBK matches are always classics adding in a IC belt brings the belt credibility and adds a bit to the fued.

[Dark Blaze]

Snitsky's alive?

[ortonchamp28]

dont ratings get recorded every quarter hour? if so i dont get y they keep goin to commercial right before every quarter hour

[Y_2_aJ]

wow Zitskys been found!

[wwe_scotland]

Umaga is such an under valued superstar....even him for IC. After Jericho loses it or whatever happens to it. Make him a monster that defends it every week for months. Then the person who finally beats him for it will get mega over.

[Y_2_aJ]

Lol @ King

"Snitsky is uglier than Hulk Hogans divorce"

[DrOOpieS]

Did King just say that they are scarier than Hulk Hogan's divorce? Hahahah.

[Y_2_aJ]

They are the World Tag Team Champion Jobbers!!!!!

Cody Rhodes and Baldcore Holly

[Dark Blaze]

OMG....Umaga to be buried by Rhodes & Holly?

Either Dibiase interferes or Snitsky takes the fall.

[wwe_scotland]

Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly need to drop those belts soon. So is that 1 or 2 championship defenses in 6months. Its a joke.

[Steamboat Ricky]

snitsky has the brownest teeth in the WWE :lmao:

[Leaping Leo]

Bring Back RVD! :robvandam:

[wwe_scotland]

Rhodes and Holly need to drop those belts. Only 2 defences in 6months. I know its all down to the booking but whoever is booking them needs shot. Its an absolute joke. London and Kendrik need more TV time in tag division.

[Y_2_aJ]

is it me or are the crowd popping for Umaga beating the hell out of these pair of jobbers?!

[wwe_scotland]

Who do you recon Di Biase Jnr. partner is going to be?

Thank god Umaga got the pin!

[Dark Blaze]

Ooh, guess they're going with the Holly frustrated with Cody losing....like he's one to talk.

[SCSA31693]

cryme tyme for the titles, they are so fucking over..say umaga and snitsky win the belts a fued for a good 2 months with cryme tyme would be incredible heat being that they are so over, and they get that money money yeah yeah

[justinsayne]

Shame it wasnt even the Jeritron as it was just a sugar glass sign.

Watch when it breaks, the bit still left in the frame shows the "Chris Jericho Highlight Reel" image still on it.

Just a cheap imitation there to try and fool the fans...didnt fool me

Didn't fool me either, the screens on those TVs are pretty solid, if he did it on a real screen he would have most likely killed HBK, and it certainly wouln't have shattered like that

[SCSA31693]

first match at a ppv? is he the rock? undertaker? wtf

[Paul Revere]

Dibiase is very Ortonish.

[justinsayne]

Ooh, guess they're going with the Holly frustrated with Cody losing....like he's one to talk.

I'm telling you Holly is gonna be the on that turns heel, not Cody, I'm tellin' ya man, I'm tellin' ya

[Dark Blaze]

And that moment, will be just like me, simply...priceless.

[Dark Blaze]

I'm telling you Holly is gonna be the on that turns heel, not Cody, I'm tellin' ya man, I'm tellin' ya

Wouldn't achieve shit...what future does Holly have? Cody should do the heel turn..definitely.

[That's Just Weird]

I'm telling you Holly is gonna be the on that turns heel, not Cody, I'm tellin' ya man, I'm tellin' ya

Haha, old school fans know it's going to be TDJr and Bob Holly vs. Cody Rhodes.

[wwe_scotland]

Dibiase is very Ortonish.

Totally agree.....future champion!

:shooter:

[justinsayne]

Bring Back RVD! :robvandam:

He doesn't want to come back, he's said so in numerous interviews

[xmoshx]

i see a cody/diabese team commin

[Gavel]

Time to mute the T.V.

[justinsayne]

Wouldn't achieve shit...what future does Holly have? Cody should do the heel turn..definitely.

dude it's WWE, of all the shit they do, how much of achieves anything at all?, Holly is more believable as a heel than Cody anyways

[xmoshx]

jillian has some ugly lips

[Dark Blaze]

dude it's WWE, of all the shit they do, how much of achieves anything at all?, Holly is more believable as a heel than Cody anyways

Never know, he might surprise us.

But yeah, forgot that it's WWE.

[Dark Blaze]

Did that dude say Oh fuck and they blanked it out?

[wwe_scotland]

Wholey Shit!

[Paul Revere]

Haha thats what I would have said.

[justinsayne]

Best reaction ever:lmao:

[hardrocker488]

Awww Damn they bleeped it out. Feel sorry for the chick that won 2 dollars. You think they'll take taxes out of it?

[Y_2_aJ]

ROFL at $2, bet she was so excited when she realised Vince had phoned her aswell, thinking she'd get at least $25,000.

For the $200,000 winner though. Best.Reaction.Ever.

Even had the King pissin himself with laughter

[Dark Blaze]

Best reaction ever:lmao:

Exactly...I mean besides the girl who was screaming a bit saying OMG, none of those other people reacted much...well not how I would react if i won thousands.

And the girl who won $2, poor her, they're lucky they cut it off, if it was me I'd try to fit in a "Fuck you Vince" in there.

[xmoshx]

2 dollars i would have told vince 2 keep it

[Y_2_aJ]

Woo...SANTINOOOOOOOOOO

[justinsayne]

Oh for fuck sake, Shitino has his own shirt now

[Y_2_aJ]

Carlito's stealing Dreamer's gimmick with the upcoming PPV T-Shirt.

"Yo Yo Yo, Its Crymeeeeeeeee Tymeeeeee!"

[xmoshx]

crime tyme needs to be champs there more over then cody/rhodes

[im_so_shibby]

LMFAO, Cryme Tyme pretending to be Londrick. I love it!

[Dark Blaze]

Think this is Cryme tyme's first win as a team since they've come back.

Either that or the first in an ok-length match instead of like 1-2 mins.

[justinsayne]

This McMoney shit is starting to get a little annoying

[C.M.V.P]

Think this is Cryme tyme's first win as a team since they've come back.

Either that or the first in an ok-length match instead of like 1-2 mins.

They beat Cade & Murdoch on their first day back the day after WM

[Y_2_aJ]

Agree with that, having him standing there keying in the numbers all the time is starting to piss me off, and is taking away from the whole show, people will be just interested in maybe winning money, not the matches

[Dark Blaze]

This McMoney shit is starting to get a little annoying

Starting? It's been annoying from the start...jus reeks of desperateness.

[C.M.V.P]

This McMoney shit is starting to get a little annoying

It's been annoying since it started

[justinsayne]

It's been annoying since it started

I missed the first half of the show

[Dark Blaze]

They beat Cade & Murdoch on their first day back the day after WM

Yeah but what I meant to say was them winning decisively...they won that match with a rollup by JTG right? Sorry for not being clear:p

Wonder if that move Shad did is a finisher...I loved their team finisher...should do it more often, the G9 was it?

[Dark Blaze]

I missed the first half of the show

Lucky you:p

[mattitude2007]

Jeff Hardy's pop was pitiful just now.

[xmoshx]

hardy new music i like the beat

[C.M.V.P]

Hardy wins

[Dark Blaze]

Pop sounds great to me.

[justinsayne]

Lucky you:p

I usually miss more than that, tonight was an early night at work though, and theres no Hockey or Football on

[Dark Blaze]

Hardy wins

Hope so, wouldn't mind a Triple Threat at NOC...but there've been a lot of those lately.

Did Hardy outpop HHH? Ma sound's messed up

[mattitude2007]

Ok what's up with this....first Trips uses his King of Kings theme earlier tonight and goes back to The Game just now.

[Riccay]

Damnit, i'm late, better sum everything up in this post:

Raw just isnt the same anymore
LOL RICKROLL
Boo heel, yay face.
JEEEEEAWHHNNN CENAAAAAA
Hardy is a spot monkey.
Trips will drop the title at NOC.

[justinsayne]

Ok what's up with this....first Trips uses his King of Kings theme earlier tonight and goes back to The Game just now.

He's been doing that shit for years, Triple H is soooo great he gets to use to themes:D

[xmoshx]

does anyone feel cena is annoyin right now?

[Monkey Winchester]

Trips is Definitly resorting back to his old moveset.

Im getting ready to mark out some time soon for the Triple H heel turn

[justinsayne]

does anyone feel cena is annoyin right now?

Not really, actually I prefer his commentary to Triple H's from earlier (what little I heard anyway)

[justinsayne]

Trips is Definitly resorting back to his old moveset.

Im getting ready to mark out some time soon for the Triple H heel turn

Hopefully soon, they guy is much much better as a heel, than he is doing this face crap

[justinsayne]

Did Cena just pull a heel tactic out?!

[Steamboat Ricky]

what a dumb ending

[Steamboat Ricky]

ok, nevermind, that puts hardy back in the scene.

[Monkey Winchester]

Hopefully soon, they guy is much much better as a heel, than he is doing this face crap

Simple Logic Really. Face Cena vs Heel Triple H = More Money

or

Face Cena vs Face Hardy vs Heel Triple H = A Lot More Money

[Dark Blaze]

And Jeff just inserted himself unofficially into NOC.

[Y_2_aJ]

Was I the only one who liked that ending?

[Dark Blaze]

Nope you weren't...I thought it was gonna come...was happy it did.

[justinsayne]

AHHH!!!!....nobody cares about this shit, bring on the L&O danmit!!!!, LOL

[Dark Blaze]

You mean, we have to go through this money thing, next week...AGAIN?

[justinsayne]

You mean, we have to go through this money thing, next week...AGAIN?

Yup, I just pray they don't do it every week, and then at NOC

[Dark Blaze]

Why us? McMahon is just TOO desperate for ratings...wonder what he'll do if today only drew like a 3.1 even with all this shit.

[justinsayne]

Why us? McMahon is just TOO desperate for ratings...wonder what he'll do if today only drew like a 3.1 even with all this shit.

Give away 2 million dollars?

[Dark Blaze]

Probably...

Anyway, got exams tomorrow, 'night all.
