Live Discussion: RAW 4/7/2008
- Thread starter Lil Wes
- Start date
Really looking forward to this Raw, hopefully the title picture will be partially cleared up. After last week's episode was completely dominated by Flair, we finally get to see how HHH and Cena will factor into the WWE Title picture, JBL wants the Title, and on the WWE.com Raw preview they are still talking about Matt Hardy being involved? It should be an interesting Raw, last week's was arguably the best Raw of the year, hopefully they have a good follow up. Wonder if we will get two tag matches again?

SHALL WE BEGIN?
Hopefully we get a lil clearing in the title picture, and some more major developments. The Flair Retirement train wont be dominating this weeks, show, so hopefully we get some decent BackLash build. hells yea
If I'm honest, if the Backlash main event turns out to be a fatal four way between Orton, JBL, Cena and HHH, I won't be that interested in it. I just don't see Orton losing the title until One Night Stand/Vengeance, and JBL wouldn't really add much to the match to be honest.
Still, I'm looking forward to RAW this week, and what Cena and Triple H will be upto when it comes to the title picture.

Well, WZ is reporting Triple H vs JBL vs Orton for the WWE Championship at Backlash. And this time Triple H regaining his throne....I have been waiting years for it...I won't hold my breath.
WZ said that is what they are advertising I believe, but they always advertise matches locally for any show there usually, usually they aren't correct until it is announced on the show. I hope that is not the main event, as I want the Orton Era to continue...if that is the match it probably wont.

Why does JBL have to be involved? He fucked his program with Jericho and had a hardcore match with 50 year old fat Finlay. Isn't there anybody else?
JBL is involved because he is JBL. He can cut great promos and he is a very good heel. It wont be him vs. Orton because that wouldn't make sense, heel vs. heel. HHH is almost certaintlly going to get involved in this match, I hope Cena does too, the only reason is that if he does then there is a chance Orton will retain.

I could see it going from triple threat to fatal fourway. But JBL is not as great as people make him out to be. He cuts BORING promos. I'd rather see HHH face Orton than JBL. He's done nothing to earn a number one spot.
Ryan Clark said Cena is expected to be there.Chea, looks like Cena won't be there tonight
Hope the movie filming takes months.
And if Ryan Clark says it, it must be true.
Well his promo last Monday was pretty good, and that is what matters in this fued, if he can cut a good promo on Orton, the champ, then he will be a good addition into the title picture. Better than a Wrestlemania rematch, at least it adds something new to the build.

The knock on Orton is always that his promos are boring. How is JBL any different? He was boring last week. His most memorable Promo was the week after he took out Jericho, and he talked to his kids. That was god awful. JBL has not done one thing since his return that made me want to see him in the title picture.

They are good heels I agree with that. But outside the ring, on the mic part, these guys are not very good. Orton seems to be getting better as the Age of Orton goes on, but JBL is over rated. They are both good heels, but can be very dull sometimes.

Cody Rhodes is an excellant
JBL is boring on the mic?
Yup, and Jeff Hardy doesn't know how to jump off a ladders either

Hes boring. He talks about boring shit and is very predictable. Good heel, bad promos. its that simple. Tell me a good promo hes done since he came back.

Announced for Raw - Highlight Reel with HBK & Batista.
This should be an interesting feud with HBK probably playing the heel role although not clear cut. The perfect scenario would be for Ric Flair to come back as a special ref and turn heel on HBK by screwing him over and becoming Batista's manager but it looks like he doesn't want to have an on-air role. I think Batista may get traded to Raw when they have a draft as he has feuded with everyone on Smackdown and may need a change to freshen up his character. They could do another Batista/HHH feud or have him go against Orton (former Evolution teammate).
