One More Match?

Jericho challenges Flair to a match live on Raw. We'll see how that goes. I'd not be that surprised if Reid Flair got worked into this somehow, but then again, Flair is teasing Reid in ROH as well, not to mention Reid is nowhere near at the level to go toe to toe with Jericho. Alternatively, Flair will come out, take an ass whipping by Jericho, and be saved by Jericho's real 'Mania opponent. I figure on the latter occurring.

Allied Powers

HBK and 'Taker vs Koslov and JBL. Should be a good match, just seeing HBK and 'Taker as a tag team is sick. Maybe Koslov vs JBL at 'Mania comes out of this?

That's all that's up right now.

[Rusty]

Apparently JBL's big plans for Wrestlemania doesn't involve defended the IC Title.

Hmmm. Interesting.

[OIL]

What the heck is he gonna do which is interesting..

[Lee]

Well we better find out Jericho's real opponent tonight as it is getting laborious.

[OIL]

Agreed.

I just hope it's not Flair. He had a very emotional match last year, and he needs to leave it.

I'm still pushing for Hogan. BUT, have Jericho win. No-one would see that happening.

[Lil Wes]

Hogan can't even walk right now. I was hoping it was him, and will likely be severely disappointed when that scrub Jerry Lawler is named Jericho's opponent.

[Lil Wes]

I'm calling it now. I don't want to see that shit either, but it's WWE...

[KillBill]

Don't hold to this, but I'm pretty sure this was one of the dates listed for when Austin would appear. At this point, since Hogans out, anything other than Austin or Savage would be a huge disappointment. Unless its someone we havent thought of.

[OIL]

Hogan can't even walk right now. I was hoping it was him, and will likely be severely disappointed when that scrub Jerry Lawler is named Jericho's opponent.

Please, oh please. Lawler? No. I'm sorry, I love the guy as a commentator but wrestling again? Not in my opinion.

[OIL]

I'm calling it now. I don't want to see that shit either, but it's WWE...

True.. but they have been known to surprise even us the past year. So, let's not put anything major past them just yet.

[Lil Wes]

If by some miracle it's Austin, I'll explode.

[Big Beck-ah Roethlisberger]

Please, oh please. Lawler? No. I'm sorry, I love the guy as a commentator but wrestling again? Not in my opinion.
yeah. He wasn't good enough 20 years ago, let alone now.
Don't hold to this, but I'm pretty sure this was one of the dates listed for when Austin would appear. At this point, since Hogans out, anything other than Austin or Savage would be a huge disappointment. Unless its someone we havent thought of.
I'd mark the fuck out if Savage came out, but hell has a better chance of freezing over.
I'm calling it now. I don't want to see that shit either, but it's WWE...
yeah. true.. A program we all hate to love... :headscratch:
Hogan can't even walk right now. I was hoping it was him, and will likely be severely disappointed when that scrub Jerry Lawler is named Jericho's opponent.
Yeah.. BOOO

[Harthan]

Lawler wasn't even a good wrestler when he was in shape. Great heel work, couldn't back it up in the ring. He probably would have been legendary as a heel manager if he'd gone that route.

I hear the plans change frequently, which is probably the reason for the delay. I imagine Lawler is the last resort - if no one else will do it, they'll try to salvage the angle with Lawler. The problem is his recent Raw wrestler appearances will really kill the idea of him coming back.

As for JBL, still making history, is he? It's highly intriguing. Maybe we'll get some idea of tonight.

[Harthan]

Who thinks this Legends thing should involve Orton and not Jericho? :scratchchin:

Orton's too good to actually kill legends now. He outsources.

[Big Beck-ah Roethlisberger]

Who thinks this Legends thing should involve Orton and not Jericho? :scratchchin:

[Big Beck-ah Roethlisberger]

that is true....

I don't really care who kills who, as long as The King is not involved. Well I'd love for Elvis to be involved but he's probably feeling a little chippy by now. :(

[The Todd]

Can't wait for tonight's after last week. Won't be one for people who love wrestling matches again though, it will be filled with promos, we will get one each for the titles, a Jericho, probably a JBL one. I'm guessing some big tag match involving MitB superstars along with a Divas and the tag match. At the top of this page it has a spoiler link, I haven't read it but it pushes up the intrigue for the episode.

YOu have to think the legend will show tonight who Jericho will face, I hope it's not Flair as he had his time last year, I crave for Hogan or Austin but can't see it.

[TM]

March 16th...
3 16
3:16

I bet Jericho's opponent will be...!!

Ric Flair.

[Phoenix]

Jericho's match will be against the Gobbledy Goucker (sp) and Doink the Clown. It's probably the only "legends" they could turn to ahead of Lawler.

Another idea, what if the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase shows up? Rallies his son and co. together, everybody's got a price.

Another one, despite it very unlikely happening, Vince McMahon. His legends, his company, his right to defend.

[HBK-aholic]

Raw's in San Antonio :D.

[KillBill]

Who thinks this Legends thing should involve Orton and not Jericho?


Hell no. Orton may be the legend killer, but Jericho's a great wrestler. He could have a 5 star match with a paper bag. And since some of the possible opponents are only a slight upgrade than that, you gotta go with Jericho, he'll make it watchable.

[Rokitka]

Imagine, Flair comes out to confront Jericho, ends up getting his ass kicked like the other Famers, then suddenly, Glass Breaks. Stone Cold comes out infront of his hometown and challenges Jericho to a final match at Mania.

It will never happen, but I'd mark the fuck out.

[CDR]

Dude, if Stone Cold is Jericho's opponent, I would go fucking nuts!

Stone Cold in a match at WrestleMania 25, which I'm going to, would kick ass!

[Big Beck-ah Roethlisberger]

Hell no. Orton may be the legend killer, but Jericho's a great wrestler. He could have a 5 star match with a paper bag. And since some of the possible opponents are only a slight upgrade than that, you gotta go with Jericho, he'll make it watchable.
Jericho hasn't been good in years. He has a good character to an extent. But his matches are meh.

[Lil Wes]

Imagine, Flair comes out to confront Jericho, ends up getting his ass kicked like the other Famers, then suddenly, Glass Breaks. Stone Cold comes out infront of his hometown and challenges Jericho to a final match at Mania.

It will never happen, but I'd mark the fuck out.

You forgot stun his ass and drink beer, and yes, I'd mark the fuck out like it was Backlash 2000.

[The Todd]

1am for us Brits again, up until the clocks go back. Not sure if it's next week or the week after, and then it'll be back to 2am.

[Esteban Ochocinco]

Stone Cold is the only thing that could save that match from the disaster it's slowly becomming. it started out so promising, but now it's pretty much dead. In fact, the entire card minus two matches has been poorly booked to this point.

[CENAtion]

Gotta agree with the dinosaur man.....It should be Edge/Cena no big show, Orton/HHH is missing something, who jumps out in the MITB match since Punk already won it, Jericho vs Lawler????

Lawler is the same guy who fights Santino on Raw...hows that get him into a WM match with Jericho???


Save Us 3:16

[Harthan]

I'm holding out hope for Koko B. Ware vs Jericho, myself.

[CENAtion]

I'm holding out hope for Koko B. Ware vs Jericho, myself.

hhaaahhaahha what a crock that is with him getting into the Hall.

[Harthan]

I can't honestly say I wouldn't mark out like a bastard if Koko came out with the bird and everything and just kicked Jericho's ass.

[E7]

who is korko?

[KillBill]

[QUOTE]who is korko?[QUOTE]

Who? This wrestlemania is looking a little iffy, esp with a shitload of divas backing out of battle royal, Mizark in MITB, and Jericho and who knows? I'd be happy if he came out with boxing gloves, and the great Bart Gunn comes out and knocks his ass out.

[butsecks]

JBL making history? didn't he do that once by being the first wrestler to get his ass kicked by joey styles? maybe when he means making history, he'll be history from the ring, retire and move back to what he did best and flap his gumbs and color commentate.

[Ty Burna]

Ahh its almost as funny the second time around.

[TM]

hot

[Lil Wes]

lulz, that promo owned.

[klunderbunker]

Opening the show with this?

Wow.

[tj3000x]

Is anyone surprised Taker is going into Wrestlemania without a major feud? Unless you count this HBK/Taker thing a feud.

[justinsayne]

hmm... thought this would be the ME

[Lil Wes]

LOL @ the dude in the Carlton shirt.

[Ty Burna]

Start off with a big tag team match? Sure I'll bite. Better than a 30 minute Jericho or Orton promo starting off.

[Lil Wes]

Start off with a big tag team match? Sure I'll bite. Better than a 30 minute Jericho or Orton promo starting off.

Word.

[CDR]

I said it last week and to my suprise, I'm sticking to it. At WrestleMania, JBL is going to buy TNA Wrestling.

[tj3000x]

HBK is really putting it on for his home crowd.

[Lil Wes]

I said it last week and to my suprise, I'm sticking to it. At WrestleMania, JBL is going to buy TNA Wrestling.

I lol'd.

[tj3000x]

20 minutes in and I haven't switched the channel yet. This Raw better be good.

[Profit]

wow, worst sweet chin music ever.

[The Todd]

Wow. I'm glad this isn't a "i respect you, you respect me, let's see who is better" match which I first thought, we have a proper feud. Great opening.

[KillBill]

Not a bad match to start things off. HBK still knows how to hightail it and be sneaky just like he used to be. Gives him a good edge.

[tj3000x]

Can we get a vintage word count tonight?

[Lil Wes]

wow, worst sweet chin music ever.

Christ, here we go...

[Shake-Zula]

Seems to be pretty good so far.

Oh btw I got in there late...did they even show anything about Test at the start...where my DVR started was all that Cena,Edge,Show,Vickie stuff from last week..

[Leeds Guy]

Can we get a vintage word count tonight?

Nah lets leave Cole alone this week, hes not as bad as people make out.

[klunderbunker]

Segment went on way too long.

[Leeds Guy]

NO NOT ANOTHER RECAP OF LAST WEEK
for god sake i bet we see this every show untill Mania

[Ty Burna]

NO NOT ANOTHER RECAP OF LAST WEEK
for god sake i bet we see this every show untill Mania

Nah we all have the attention span and memory of a fly. The WWE knows this so they have to keep reminding us of the storyline.

Either that or they think we're idiots.

[Profit]

Christ, here we go...

Whats the problem with pointing out how shitty it looked?

[KillBill]

A good match, now we gotta wait another 20 for another. Whats with all these recaps? Thats what we got youtube for.

[Lt 0reo]

Welcome to Monday Night Recap

[Leeds Guy]

im sure that Ortons wifes scream is recorded it sounded exactly the same 3 times over, same length and everything

[Profit]

Santino!

[Leeds Guy]

The hottest girl out there.......Santino.......i mean Layla

Piss break time

[Rokitka]

Was a Test blackscreen shown at the beginning of the show tonight? Came in during the 'Taker introduction.

[Lil Wes]

Was a Test blackscreen shown at the beginning of the show tonight? Came in during the 'Taker introduction.

No

[The Todd]

Here comes the oesterrich (sp)

[Profit]

They should just put Santino on commentary from now on.

[KillBill]

I saw a pic of Gail Kim as 1 of the divas in the battle royal. Sweet. It would be nice if Kelly Kelly said something after that match about Test, but it prolly wont happen.

[Little Jerry Lawler]

I guess the only way u can bet Beth is by roll-up

[The Todd]

They should just put Santino on commentary from now on.


It's the best place for him. He can be funny, and not wrestle. Perfect for him. And he can have failed run ins like that. Gotta love Santino.

[Rokitka]

Why didn't they just call 12 Rounds The Marine 2?

[Lt 0reo]

Hate to admit it but 12 Rounds actually looks good.

[Lt 0reo]

Did Santino just call Melina a dog?

[Profit]

How great would it be if in the 12 rounds trailer Miles followed the "What's your name" line with this:

Cena: Offi-

Miles: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU'RE NAME IS!

*yawn*

[Harthan]

How great would it be if in the 12 rounds trailer Miles followed the "What's your name" line with this:

Cena: Offi-

Miles: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU'RE NAME IS!

[Little Jerry Lawler]

So will Vickie be a worse special referee than Batista? The answer is no.

[The Todd]

So HHH vs Cody and Cena vs Edge, the likely tag match involving MitB participants, and Jericho Flair segment (no way it's a match). Hopefully going to be a great last hour.

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Time for Rhodes to get his ass handed to him.

[Leeds Guy]

i dont even see this match happening. cody will come out with Di Biase and orton to jump him

[KillBill]

So HHH vs Cody and Cena vs Edge, the likely tag match involving MitB participants, and Jericho Flair segment (no way it's a match). Hopefully going to be a great last hour.


It has to be. The fact that the 1st hr only had 2 matches blows my mind.

[justinsayne]

Exactly how in the fuck did they not notice there was a cage above the mother fucking ring?!?

[Ty Burna]

Rhodes is in for a serious ass kicking now.

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Um King and Cole, there is a way in and out...how about climbing the cage

[Ty Burna]

Oh and NOW the match starts? Awesome, I enjoy watching a slaughter

[Lil Wes]

lmfao, Rhodes is getting demolished.

[Rokitka]

A Steel Czage!@$%^#

[Leeds Guy]

So this week Cody next week Di Biase then orton at Mania?

[Little Jerry Lawler]

was that blood on the mat

[The Todd]

Did anyone find that a big let down after last week's house segment or was it just me?

[TheRealLionheart089]

No intro for Dolph, looks like he's in the "doghouse"

[mike26837]

man rey looks like a power ranger

[Lil Wes]

Lame.

[justinsayne]

WTF is Rey suppose to be, he looks like a fucking Mexican version of fucking Goldust

[Little Jerry Lawler]

I don't even know what to say about that Live Events statistic.

[Lil Wes]

We better get Austin.

[justinsayne]

C'mon WWE please do something right and give us Austin, please please please please

[KBooG15]

Lex Luger?

[Lil Wes]

Shut the fuck up already and give me Austin!

[Lil Wes]

Blah blah blah, get to Austin dammit.

[justinsayne]

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH, STFU Jeribore, for the love of god just stfu

[KBooG15]

Jericho destroy's the legends and Austin makes the save....I hope....

[Leeds Guy]

Man i love seeing Ricky Steamboat he looks like he could probably do another WWE run

[KBooG15]

boooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Lil Wes]

Please destroy them for Austin to save. Please please please

[Little Jerry Lawler]

:burn:

[Lil Wes]

Fuck WWE. Fuck em to hell.

[Profit]

Pffft.. Austin should'a shown up.

[Lil Wes]

Wtf??!?!?!?!? Noooooooooooooooooooooo

[asswhip]

So what was the whole point of this angle. To get Jericho beat up on Raw?

[That's Just Weird]

Steamboat > Flair > Piper > Snuka. IMO.

[CENAtion]

seriously ....Jericho vs ?????

[justinsayne]

What a fucking waste of a segement, seriously when the fuck are they going to give Jericho a fucking opponent, this angle is just getting tiresome I'm seriously starting to wonder if creative has any idea where they are going with it

[CENAtion]

wwe SUCKS

[Lil Wes]

What the fuck? Seriously?

[Thriller City Machine Guns]

Why do they make us suffer through Hornswoggle on commentary?

[justinsayne]

They just took something that could have been and epic Mania moment and turned into just another :flush:

[Ty Burna]

Well this angle just went from weak to....why bother?

[asswhip]

So basicly 5 on 1 match at Mania. Geex that should be fun...snores

[kylexxx]

what do you have walking pneamonia [sp?] Hornswoggle?

King ribbing JR

[Little Jerry Lawler]

I was wondering what the fuck that noise was.

[asswhip]

So basicly 5 on 1 match at Mania. Geez that should be fun,NOT!

[KillBill]

MVP, Kofi, and Punk. Only took 6 months, but they finally team up for real. I remember they teased a MVP face turn last year when these 3 went after pre-Legacy Legacy.

[Lil Wes]

Face MVP FTL.

[Leeds Guy]

Whos idea was it to put hornswoggle on commentary.

this Raw has been dreadful

[Marquis]

Face MVP FTL.

Indeed. I miss the heel cocky athlete.

[That's Just Weird]

Way to be aggressive, Finlay!

"Hey... watch it."

[Lil Wes]

Indeed. I miss the heel cocky athlete.

Yup, it's the same with Kennedy. They're just awful as cheesy faces. But god knows we can't have faces with an edge nowadays :rolleyes:

[justinsayne]

could they please at least take the headset away from Horny

[Leeds Guy]

Yet another 12 rounds video.....yawn

[Ty Burna]

Thank God that's over with. It would have been a better match with more time and no fucking headset for Hornswoggle.

[Marquis]

Yup, it's the same with Kennedy. They're just awful as cheesy faces. But god knows we can't have faces with an edge nowadays :rolleyes:

Thank you. I don't even understand how MVP's gimmick works as a face. I mean his name implies hes the most valuable athlete on the brand.

[Tyrath]

The HBK/Taker segment was probably the only good thing to come out of raw tonight so far...

[Big Beck-ah Roethlisberger]

MVP lost his pyro, yo.

[KillBill]

Nice Hummer. Nice Wife :)

[CENAtion]

Mrs. HHH........hey o

[TheRealLionheart089]

The HHH/Taker segment was probably the only good thing to come out of raw tonight so far...

:blink:


lol

[CENAtion]

Steph looked good as always even if it was just her face

[Tyrath]

:blink:


lol

I mean HBK <_<

[justinsayne]

Well they have effectivly found a way to turn a Cena/Edge match into a shitfest, congrats WWE

[Ty Burna]

Shit Raw overall, it's amazing how they just messed up all the momentum they had going from last week.

[Leeds Guy]

i think its safe to say Smackdown is the A show at the moment in terms of entertainment cos that raw was rubbish

[CENAtion]

horrible show.....only positives Taker/HBK and Steph

[KillBill]

I'd have to agree. Esp. since the discussion sucked. Only 15 pages tonite, last week there was like 35. Not much to talk about. What a waste.

[Big Beck-ah Roethlisberger]

I'd have to agree. Esp. since the discussion sucked. Only 15 pages tonite, last week there was like 35. Not much to talk about. What a waste.

thats because I wasn't here for any of it.

[justinsayne]

:lmao:

[E7]

yeah it did suck...not interested in next weeks show at all...

[theBusiness]

wow, i had such high hopes for wrestlemania. i was even thinking of throwing down a couple thousand bucks to go see it in person.

all hope is lost. jericho match is the biggest dissapointment.

[E7]

pretty lame overall...stupid wwe

[Esteban Ochocinco]

yeah, what a terrible Raw 3 weeks before Mania. HBK vs. Undertaker is the only thing remotely worth watching at this point.

[Steamboat Ricky]

When I think of WWE Legends...Piper comes to mind...but surely Snuka and Steamboat do not. Granted, I'm not the most knowledgeable on Snuka, but I what I have seen of him hasn't been the most interesting. Steamboat, while classic, was not a legend in WWE with the exception of the Savage match.

Right now, Jericho v. the legends seems about as interesting as the Gimmick Battle Royale.
