WWE RAW LD 3/5/2012 - Holla at Ya' Boy!

[The Brain]

I'll take Yaz for sure. I'll take Parish above Boggs but I'd take other basketball players first - if I'm picking a basketball player after Bird, it's McHale or Pierce. Tentative on Rice or Evans. I'd say Boggs is a better player, but Rice and Evans spent more time in Boston.

Boggs was definitely better but Rice and Evans are more associated with Boston.

 

[Peoples_Champ]

Nope

Really? So Cena had the same reaction last time he was in Boston?

 

[The Dragon Saga]

Rock / Cena concerts next week?

The Rock isn't scheduled to appear next week.

 

[HBK/RKO]

Hell yeah the rock in concert is awesome. His only two concerts were hilarious and Cena's rap we know is going to be good as well.

 

[Chrome]

To be fair Rock wasn't bad today.. all three promos were fun. 2 funny 1 serious.. Cena did well too.. this feud is heating up

 

[Chrome]

The Rock isn't scheduled to appear next week.

Thought Rock was scheduled for every RAW in March.

 

[Peoples_Champ]

I think The Rock will be appearing next week, the promo seemed to imply as much...

Although Rocky could just as well be singing via satellite

 

[nightmare]

This is going to be a toss up. Rock loses this and it will be hard to backtrack all of his serious promos. Cena loses and its like a slap to the face.


You have the obvious 'pass the torch' moment, but at the same time, it feels alot more serious than that. Almost to the point I think Vince might have Rock win to play with a possible Cena heel turn. Many ways this could go.


It makes sense with Kane saying Cena cant beat him without embracing the hate. Maybe he tries everything he can & gets so frustrated with not being able to beat Rock- he starts bending the rules. Kickout of the AA 2 OR 3 times, wont tap to the STF- He cheats to win.


It might be the only way to have both come out on top in a way. This all smells funny & if they have Cena lose clean or cheat to win, I dont know what I will think. This might end up being a bigger moment than Hogan\Rock, or it could be a black-eye moment like the Montreal Screwjob.

 

[HBK/RKO]

It looks like the Rock is going to be on every raw before Wrestlemania. It was just announced he will be on raw next week and he is already scheduled for 3/19 and 3/26.

 

[Chrome]

I like this feud.. I have to say those this was funny..

And scheduled for the Raw after mania too.

 

[Steve0904]

Cena/Rock is heating up nicely. I like it.

Speaking of heating up nicely I thought Cena's wife was pretty fuckin hot.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

Cena's in-ring stuff was solid, despite that terrible ghetto accent he insists on bringing back. That promo he cut in the stands was downright laughable. Cheesiest, corniest piece of shit I've seen in a long, long time. Reminds me why I'm not a fan of his. Then again, his in-ring stuff worked.

Rock's taped segments were hilarious, but he was weak in the ring. I believe that's how he's supposed to be playing it (hoping to split the crowd come Mania time), but I can't be positive.

Rock's still better.

I don't know how I feel about this Kane/Orton feud. I don't think it's going to get a decent build, nor do I believe the actual match will go longer than 8 or 9 minutes. Sucks for Orton. I understand there are only so many spots, but... oh, fuck it - he should be in the spot Sheamus currently holds. He's better in every imaginable way. Take that, ya mick bastard.

 

[DirtyJosé]

Wouldn't that be considered a pejorative/racist term, Nick?

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

And Cena steals the spotlight from Rock. Again.

Wouldn't that be considered a pejorative/racist term, Nick?

If so, I'll eat the infraction. I may even warn myself.

 

[DirtyJosé]

Do it for the lulz The Rock.

I think both Henry and Orton's untimely injuries may have cost him a better spot. I had the feeling that they were building up to a showdown between the 2 at Mania for the title.

Still, I'd rather see Sheamus in this position than Orton.

 

[DirtyJosé]

Yeah, I have to agree. I like the guy, a lot. But please keep him away from the title picture for a while.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

Still, I'd rather see Sheamus in this position than Orton.

I'd love to hear why.

 

[Nate DaMac]

I'd love to hear why.

Seeing Orton win another title does nothing for me. Now don't get all offended, I don't want Cena anywhere near the title picture for a while either. It's just gotten to a point where if either of them win one, I'm overcome with a heavy feeling of "Meh."

I think it's time for Orton to get his big match at Mania. Kane isn't exactly what I'd have in mind, but it's better than a match with Daniel Bryan.

1. I don't care if Orton has a title or not. Those mean little to me at this point.

2. I'd rather see Orton in the higher profile match because he's better than Sheamus. I think he and DB could have a more interesting feud. With Sheamus, I have two thoughts - not an interesting guy, and has never had a match worth remembering. Orton is just better, and I think he works better in that spot. Oh well, not a big deal.

 

[Stormtrooper]

Actually I think he did mention Williams too but I would have gone with Yaz or Parrish or even Rice or Evans before Boggs. I love Boggs but he left Boston and won a World Series in New York.

I'll take Yaz for sure. I'll take Parish above Boggs but I'd take other basketball players first - if I'm picking a basketball player after Bird, it's McHale or Pierce. Tentative on Rice or Evans. I'd say Boggs is a better player, but Rice and Evans spent more time in Boston.

Bobby Orr says hi.

Sheamus has NEVER had a match worth remembering Nick? Nonsense. Sheamus has developed into a fine worker with a unique moveset that pops the fans just as hot as your boy Orton does these days. It's pretty simple why they're going with Sheamus over Orton, Sheamus is new, that's it. They're still in the process of cementing Sheamus as a big name and this match should help in that process. Sheamus is this year's feel-good babyface Rumble winner/Eventual Wrestlemania victor, and there's nothing wrong with that at all, because he's over as fuck and it's time for some new blood.

Sucks that Orton seems to have a program with Kane lined up, but shit, it makes sense booking-wise.

I think Orton vs. Kane is a higher profile match. Either name alone is going to to sell more tickets that Sheamus and Dick Butt combined.

Name one. I can't think of any.

Nonsense. Sheamus has developed into a fine worker with a unique moveset that pops the fans just as hot as your boy Orton does these days.

I said he's over. I don't thinks he's as over as Orton, but he's getting there. What fans see in him for him to be that over, I'll never know.

Sheamus is this year's feel-good babyface Rumble winner/Eventual Wrestlemania victor, and there's nothing wrong with that at all, because he's over as fuck and it's time for some new blood.

I think it's another case of picking a Rumble winner, and hoping it works out. He's definitely more over with the Rumble win than Del Rio was, but that wasn't a memorable Rumble win, especially when you factor in Sheamus/DB will most certainly open the show, and have about ten minutes to do their thing. It just doesn't feel like a WrestleMania title match, sorry.

Sucks that Orton seems to have a program with Kane lined up, but shit, it makes sense booking-wise.

I guess so, seeing neither had anything else going on. Then again, Cena already destroyed Kane a few weeks back, so he doesn't have a ton of steam going in.

True.
