yo i just finished read about all the past summerslam matches and damn almost all of them are more interesting than ne matches i have seen on past ppv lately

I like Randy and think he'll be a good future World Champion, but not yet. I don't think he wont destroy the title, but he hasn't been built up for main event level, plus he and Beniot and no history of a fued, they's no story to make put some backing to the match and make Randy seem credible. If Randy has not yet been promoted as a main eventer then winning the title will only hard Beniot and kill off more fans who still associate him with Upper-mid card like JBL did on SD (not that I am comparing Randy to JBL).

Well, what I just said about Randy aside.....championship material he certainly is not: He's way, way, WAY too green to pick up the world title, especially from our man Benoit

In fairness to him, Randy does have a rather impressive win streak, and he's got a lot of big names on the back of that t-shirt (which I thought was very clever ), and losing the intercontinental title didn't lose him any credibility, since Edge cheated...

BUT...

He's still a rookie, he still makes his fair share of mistakes in the ring, and he still needs a little more time spent in that ring, and being properly built up, before I'd even consider seeing the belt on him. As much as I think Randy's a future star....the emphasis there is on "future".


If Benoit does lose the title to him, I'd be very disappointed...I thought Benoit as champion was going to be a golden age for RAW, but what's happened instead?

- He's played second fiddle to Triple H and Shawn Michaels, two workers that he's vastly superior to (yes, EVEN Shawn Michaels)

- He's been relegated to the tag team division, carrying Edge, and appearing in the middle of the card.

- He's fueded with Kane, a worker who isn't half as over as the head office seem to think he is, and with all the wrestling skills of a tomato.

- He was used as a side-character to build up the fued between Triple H and Eugine.


Since becoming champ, despite being the best pure wrestler in the world today, Benoit was been treated with nothing short of contempt by the booking team, just like Eddie before him. I want to see him getting his dues before they even make plans for him to drop the belt.

Well who else is a heel and ready for a title shot.....theres HHH but we've seen that before, Kane who was well over due for a title shot but has become the big red jobber and fueding with Matt Hardy, Randy Orton too young no cred for a title shot, Batista still not ready yet, the only heel that has enough experiance and cred too go for the title I think is Ric Flair ya he's saggy and old but he can make a fued and probly put on a decent match with Beniot with Beniot keeping the belt

Oh, make no mistake, I'd love to see a match between Randy and Benoit. I think that has the potential to make some good tv....but I certainly don't want to see Benoit dropping the title to him

As for Ric....Benoit's way too physical; the one time I saw them wrestle Ric was struggling after ten minutes, let alone putting on a thirty minute main event. I'm firmly against seeing Flair wrestle in singles competition...especially as a main storyline...he's great as a mamanger, but way too past his hayday to keep it in the ring.

Well theres still the chance that Randy Orton will get more cheers and chants than Chris Beniot which is not good for a face champion unless they work it in the right way
Also

Hey, maybe we'll get lucky and he'll come back to offer an alternative to Bradshaw that won't make us want to hang ourselves

If he does come back do you think they'll send him to smackdown?

hmm... I'm not sure if they'd put him on RAW or Smackdown...all I know, is that I want a Lesnar Football Jersey

Actually I'd like see Y2J on Smackdown since he's doing nothing on RAW, a fued with him, Eddie, Kurt, Cena, or even Booker T would be kool to see

lol, I think he'd be great for it Just so long as he got rid of the lame gimmick. I always thought Long was a great, really old school manager, he just really needed a better gimmick than: "Lemmie tell ya somethin' playa. I'm gonna back my man Mark Henry, because he's black. Ya feelin' me playa? Dumb white boy."

Lemme holla at'cha playa...


that was great...

Ya but isn't he a heel, and the heel GM has been done to death, and pretty stale. Get somebody thats a face, and the fans actually care about..thats not Teddy Long...so far

True...but I think the main reason people seemed to react so little was because of that lame gimmick...you are right about the heel GM thing though. I think it would be nice to have a face GM to set Smackdown apart from RAW, much like they did way back at the start.

On a sidenote, now that Kurt's back, and the Big Show's returning, and we've got a prospect of Kurt vs Eddie on the horizon, and Booker T isn't in any plots that sound like a script from Sunset Beach, I'm feeling much much better for Smackdown than I was

You know, Sera, I just cannot understand why you don't like Sunset Beach. YOu know, the whole plot with James and the butler, that is tremendous television, I tell you whut.

YOu just have to wonder why Raw would book a main event match of Edge and Randy Orton for the IC title and be baffled on why Smackdown had better ratings. Benoit is the champ and a damn good one but Edge gets treated better. Nobody really likes Edge but the WWE treats him like he's the Rock.

Well, it looks like my man Taker will be getting the belt pretty soon. You can really tell when the fans don't give a damn about someone when they don't even get a crowd reaction but the WWE still wanted to give JBL the title, but I think they gave it to him because they wanted to eventually give Taker the belt while at the same time keeping either him or Eddie face. If it was Taker vs. Eddie, one of them would most likely turn heel.

60 minute Iron Man match on Raw. That's half the damn show. I can barely stay awake that long but have the same match going on? It's predictable; evolution will get involved in the last ten minutes or so and screw up Benoit's game and it will look like Triple H is gonna win, but wait, Benoit comes back and quickly gets the win, taking advantage of Triple H and Benoit is declared a hero because he once again went against all odds. We might get really surprised if Shawn Michaels comes back, screws Benoit out of the title and Michaels joins evolution.

It does make sense, anywho...

I think for big guys Ape-Train and Big Show arn't... that bad

Anyway, its cause Vince has something for big men, and JR loves to push anyone who's heavier than him so he doesn't feel that bad about his own weight.

Just finished watching RAW so I'll post my opinion on it, if you haven't seen RAW and want to be surprised don't read.....

First, is there any way we can send the diva search to OVW because it sucks. I mean its a waste of time, and gotten 0 crowd response, unless you count the booing, boring, and waste of time chants.That being said I hope Christy wins
The battle royal was ok, and I was hoping that the reports were wrong, and Y2J would win but they were right and Randy Orton won, but Y2J elminated Edge hmmmm I smell a Y2J vs Edge fued with Edges heel turn that could be around the corner, which might be good I guess. I also think the showdowns with Batista and Kane are always good and the fans get into it but Batista is so big the he makes Kane look tiny
As for the Iron Man it was great, on a side note it's awesome too see the sharpshooter busted out every once in awhile by Benoit.I did also call the Euegene interference but he did a stunner to Ric Flair which was very funny, and he got major pops which was good too. So heres how I see RAW so far for SS...Benoit vs Orton, HHH vs Euegene, maybe Edge vs Y2J...with a Christian interference because of the Y2J and Christian history and maybe the reformation of the E&C.

E&C, man i'd love to see it again. i've always loved the "i'm so arrogant everybody came here to see me" gimmick, especially on christian because he's so great with it (y2j also comes to mind). he and edge used to feed off each other, great chemistry. so i suppose if i have to see edge every monday and christian not in a title picture, then we might as well see them together.

Hey, everything happened just like I predicted it, but I haven't seen Raw in two weeks and didn't know much about the Eugene/Evolution fued.

I havent watched sence evolution beat the crap out of eugene. Has there been any retaliation yet other than regals'

What do you mean nothing happened how I predicted it? I said that probably with ten minutes left to go evolution will come out. That happened. I said evolution would throw Benoit off his game. That happened. I said it would look like Triple H was gonna win. That happened. I said, "But wait, Benoit comes back and to everybody's surprise gets the win against all odds and is declared a hero." That happened. The only thing I didn't predict was Eugene and the Shawn Michaels thing was a joke, so yes, I pretty much called it down the line.

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas what the worst finisher there was/is?
I think some candidates would be
The Pounce-Monty Brown(Pretty much just a shoulder block)
FU-John Cena(doesn't look affective anymore)
The Worm-Scotty 2 Hotty(what more can I say)
Hogans Leg Drop-Hulk Hogan(it's a leg drop )

thats all I can think of for now,add to the list if u have any

Expect several "cuts" to be made to the final roster before the release date (namely Rikishi, who is no longer with the company).

As you can see by the list above, only three legends have been confirmed up to this point, but several more "big name" legends are expected to be announced in coming weeks.

One major difference in Smackdown vs. Raw is that although it promises much a much impressive list of legends in this installment in the SD series, legends will not be playable in season mode.

oh ya I really don't like the dudley dog as a finisher because it just really doesn't look effective and the scissor kick because how long can you stay down and wait from a kick to tha gut

Except the Stratusphere The worst Frankensteiner in wrestling.
