Predicting Raw.

thought, if people get bored at any point we could predict what we will see on raw tonight.

My first thoughts are, it might be a full show, packed with things, santino is on smackdown this week to bulk that show out.

What i expect to see 2nite is...

Drama around the orton injury, a quickly drawn up script for HHH to say hes now ended the age of orton with out doubt. orton to make an appearance in a sling to explain his swearing at the crowds saying hel be out for how ever long.

WWE dot com says santino has somthing in store for roddy the piper, so there is room for comedy.

i also expect JBL to have given cena some rats piss in a bottle or somthing to further that skit.

i WANT cena to keep that chain and bring his old attitude back, but ah well.

beth vs jilian to keep up beths dominance.

a furthering of the burchill kennedy attack, maybe burchill explaining backstage his actions, b4 kennedy attacks him with a chair. (hopefully)

jericho explaining his actions, interupted by an angry HBK if he can walk lol.

somthing to suggest the tag team matches will mean somthing at Vengence, maybe see who is teds partner.

then some filler matches, like hardy and cena vs jbl and umaga =[

and obviously mr mcmahons million dollar madness to end the show, or start?

so any ideas what we could see 2nite or what you would like to see

Randal doesn't(and won't) have to explain his swearing, Orton is always in full heel mode it was no big deal.

I don't wanna see anything involving Hardy/umaga AGAIN or JBL/Cena.

I think if they want to sell HBK's injuries then they would keep him off TV.

The night of champions is soon, so their gonna have to start building up to that, who's gonna face HHH??

end up being cena now wont it

well he did kind of say proper swears like "shut the fuck up" and nearly hit someone in the crowd

i kinda like him a bit more for that.

maybe they should just do an edge vs HHH title vs title match, just to liven things up a bit. while they have the chance looking them right in the face

I think but hope not, that Orton getting injured might result in a rushed push, maybe from Punk or Kennedy or MVP so they have someone to challenge HHH.

Or even worse they might have Cena challenge.

All depends on how long Orton is out for.

God I hope not, face vs face sucks bad IMO, can't see anyone else though.

If they had him explaining that, or even worse apologizing then I would switch it off and it wouldn't be going back on for a few months.

It's what makes Orton the best heel in WWE, he's a twat in real life, so when something like that happens its all the better.

Hopefully we see a development on this new stable we've read about.

still hoping shane interupts vince 2nite

would be a classic.

if batista IS due a break, he might be told NO now ortons fucked his shoulder.

imagine no batista, orton and undertaker

also hopefully they dont blame extreme rules for the injury, its just a normal, fall out the ring thing, not the extreme matches fault.

oh god, there gonna replay that shit hardy spot too over and over. if only it WAS onto concrete hey lol

You've made a good point there Sexton.

And it makes my point even more improtant, all these breaks might result in a rushed push, for Kennedy/MVP/Punk.

I was trying to block that hardy spot from my brain, it was SO unbelievably bad its unreal, you could see the mat they landed on in the background FFS.

Umaga is the new Kane when it comes to jobbing.

haha you could aye, was about a foot deep or more too lol.

and wrestling with no crowd noise bores me, it was in essence jeff and umaga taking a stroll around the car park.

pityfull attempt to wow people though, bet it sounded good in planning, have jeff flip onto concrete.

executed so bad, wonder who had the job of, sliding the mat away, my bets on kennedy and matt hardy and mvp.

Most probably all the guys that were "I'm a jobber" ppv t-shirts.

Anyone think JBL will destroy Mickie James???

i reckon he could pay nattie neidhart to do it for him

I am hopeful Y2J will be out to explain his actions at One Night Stand, then have Shawn Michaels interupt him, have Michaels question what Jerichos motives where and then Batista could come out, blah blah blah they all go on and around in circles about who likes/hates/respects who and Batista could be ready to face off again against Michaels when Jericho steps in to defend HBK only for Jericho to turn on Michaels while a smirking Batista looks on, Jericho could then explain that he only wanted Michaels to get up last night so Batista could keep hurting him, and no one makes a fool of Y2J

I am hopeful of more developments with the Million Dollar Man and Ted Jr storyline, although in saying that then that probably means more TV time for Holly and Rhodes, so I would think possibly a match between the champs and CrymeTyme

I expect Triple H to come out and boast about ending the Age of Orton era, claiming he had to put him out of his misery, I think Cena might interupt this scene though, with the Night Of Champions coming up soon, there wont be a place for a Kennedy v Birchill match at that PPV so I would expect they will just let this be a slow burner,

Triple H and Mr Kennedy Kennedy v JBL and Paul Birchill

Jeff Hardy V Carlito

John Cena v Umaga

Diva Match

Vince explaining this $1m weekly giveaway

Jim Ross is back with another blog entry, which you can read in its entirety at this link. The most newsworthy item is that Ross acknowledges WWE is well aware of their ratings problem and are planning some big changes in the near future.

"I am anxious to see what changes are initiated on Monday Night Raw this week as it seems that several changes are rumored to be on their way. Last Monday’s lackluster TV rating for Monday Night Raw would certainly be reason enough to move these changes along as no one could ever be content with a 2.9 national cable rating."

"Personally, I am for longer match times and to see if some of the younger, talented individuals who have been developing, some for quite some time, can add to the mix and provide a "fresh feel" to the presentation. The announcers are talking less, which I have zero issues with quite honestly as it is television and not radio, but one could also make a case that the televised, talking segments could be more succinct as well. One man’s opinion."

"It’s time to "reshuffle" the deck as the old wrestling expression goes and attempt to create new stars involved in new issues which might give cause for "business picking up."

-------------------------------------

Vince will be announcing that every viewer that tunes in will get a free beer voucher for hooters, and everyone under 16yo will get a free trip to disneyland.

bet you

I want JR and the King to be lost in the shuffle on RAW

Get Michael Cole and Tazz over to RAW

JR and Lawler to SMACKDOWN

Adamle and Foley onto ECW and with it being taped on RAW nights, Foley could do some skits on RAW for one reason or another (if they are giving him his last holy shit match this year)

the people that will have tuned our will be people like us, weve even said if it doesnt improve we might pack it in for a bit.

so in time i hope vince makes it more interesting for the 18-30 year old fans that still want to enjoy the show, but are finding it hard to.

jr is also walking on a tightrope and if he and king dont step up they will be out of there. theyr just so unbelievable with things they say, thats why foley is better, hes more truthfull but doesnt break kayfabe. and has a laugh with cole

I have not really been enjoying Foley to be honest with you, I think he is a bit boring and tends to overdo it in terms of describing the action, I always get the impression he is reading off a script (which i am pretty certain he isn't)

i dont mind it, its new and differant, seems more personal when hes talking, but he does over react to some things. "hell of a fujiwara arm bar there"

I remember listening to him last night during the Batista match and he was going on about something that happened 3 moves ago and still trying to describe it, he knows what he wants to say but I just don't think he can get it out quick enough, it will come though, he is 100 times better than Coach

I find king to be the problem, they were always at their best when King was heel, thats why Id like to see The Tazz move over to raw, King to smackdown so he can take the piss out of Cole, and Foley to ECW with the best damn commentator of this planet.

The people that have tuned out so far have been the casual fans, but more and more "real fans"(haven't a clue what that means so don't ask. lol) like us are getting pissed off and losing interest, this happened to me last time hogan comeback(when he was on smackdown) I tuned out for a good 10-12 months.

Its heading that way again.

aye, i missed 5 years of wrestling after 2001 and feel let down more and more now, loved it when i first tuned back in, not so much now.

i mean edge vs cena was a brilliant rivalry from what i remember, but now things seem a bit boring.

also, i liked JBLs commentary, dont know why, but he was good to listen too, good old heel.

Even he got boring though(imo), he kept repeating the same things all the time.

I really hope they follow through with these so-called "major changes", and their not a big let down like last weeks "major announcement".

Its gonna take more than shaking up the commentary teams and give money away though.

aye, maybe talent will be pushed, so when faces are meant to be cheered, its easier cos they are talented.

urgh just read someone say, losing undertaker will be a big loss and a blow to the wwe, but its fucking planned so NO its a scheduled loss GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

i wouldnt mind if they just sacked a load of people or put them off air tbh and then just had newer guys vs other newer guys in good matches with storylines so the crowd dont ruin it.

I think smackdown is in the most danger of losing most of its viewers, so needs the biggest shake up, but RAW is Vince's baby, and he cares more about raw then his own kids it seams sometimes so whether that happens remains to be seen.

Anyone read about who edge will apparently be facing at The night of chumps???

nope but i cant see it being anyone other than rey batista or punk.

dont wana know though, altho il probably see it somewhere.

oh wait , hornswoggle lo

That's way I didn't just come out and say who i read it was, in case ppl don't wanna know.

Its only a rumor anyway...................FOR NOW
