    So Batista will destroy both members of Legacy

    Kofi/MVP should be decent

    Cena will prob get someone like Santina or Santino

    So so sick of Flair. He's embarrassing to watch these days :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,316 ✭✭✭✭amacachi


    Just walk away Flair for God's sake.

    Batista v Rhodes cage match, should be interesting...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,056 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    So is Raw worth watching today or not?

    Nope. The US Title match was pretty decent apart from that no. Thats about it

    What he said, other than that match there's no point in watching it at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,365 ✭✭✭✭rossie1977


    i thought it was the best raw since mania (not saying much i know) :(

    the kofi/mvp was a fine match but with total lack of crowd interest, this was in stark contrast to the cena/3 midcarders match a few minutes earlier, ok so the crowd were only interested in cena but still chavo now knows what a pop sounds like :P must be worrying for vince though, seems like cena is the only guy on the roster that generates a reaction once the entrance music dies

    ric flair and orton was so much better than orton/batista was/is going to be, ortons facial expressions are getting better by the week

    Does this mean a title push for MVP now after Extreme Rules?

    Since he lost clean to KK I'd say they'll have to build him up for a bit before they do that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,056 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    I just read a review.

    I have lost all respect for Ric Flair.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,372 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    I just read a review.

    I have lost all respect for Ric Flair.

    i mean saying it doesn't breach his 'agreement' to retire is utter sh*t.

    so he can fight street fights until he dies then?

    and never mind having his fight with Randy being bad in itself, but not even doing it on PPV? not even making it mean something? *

    *i don't think he should even do it on PPV, but you know what i'm getting at...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,917 ✭✭✭RebelRockChick


    How can he honestly say he is retired and then go and have a street fight as a way of getting around it.

    And now he has said in an interview recently: "Don’t worry about that ... I’m never going to wrestle again here. It’s not going to happen,” .....“I don’t think anyone could begrudge me for throwing my gear on (overseas),” said Flair. (source).

    It just seems to make a mockery of the whole thing :/

    As for the rest of Raw, missed a fair bit of it, and don't think i'll be catching the replay, except maybe the MVP/Kingston match.

    Do. It was a good match, given that it was face vs face and on Raw rather than PPV.

    And poor Ric has to pay the taxman/his ex wife somehow! I just think he shouldn't have let the WWE put him in a retirement angle in the first place....wrestlers are the worst for sticking to their "retirements".

    One thing confuses me, and maybe I'm looking at things too seriously here but twice in two different tag matches one guy got hit by their partner leading them getting pinned. My question, shouldn't those hits have counted as a tag?

    If that counted as a tag, the Rockers would never have split. ;)

    is it just me or is raw gone to the dogs lately


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,521 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Interesting way to build the Orton-Batista match. Orton struggles to beat an old man and Batista can't seem to climb a cage.

    He will probably be facing Kofi for a while. I'm not sure if he's going for the title. He's been hit and miss for me in the ring recently.

    Hopefully Randy Orton's punt kick will keep him out :D
