Nah as far as I know RVD isn't going back to WWE any time soon. Maybe he'll go to TNA. Rephrase. Hopefully he'll go to TNA. He would be the ideal world champ for them. ANd I can just imagine a RVD vs. Aj Styles or RVD vs. Samoa Joe. Either of those would be stellar.

Haha at nobody knowing who Godfather was. But I love the man. I mean c'mon, it's the HOOOOOOOO TRRRRAIN for cripe's sake.

mewthree w/armor December 10th, 2007 6:05 PM

RVD! RVD! Did you here the crowd pop when he came out! OMG

Cosmic Tyrant December 11th, 2007 4:20 AM

I personally liked that battle royal, in which IRS rung out Sargent Slaughter to pick up the win, only to be bought out by Ted DiBiase, the million dollar man. That was classic.

(I also enjoyed Trish and Lita teaming up on Jillian Hall :))

The Real AAA December 11th, 2007 5:26 AM

My 2 favourite parts of the event was the Evolution Reunion & Family Portrait- Vince n Mae Young! when Steph kissed HHH!
lol it's so funny how HHH tries to keep the "SECRET" between him n Steph

You guys are seriously spoiling a whole lot of stuff for me, they air RAW the day after you guys here in Australia, so I'll be watching it tomorrow T.T

I hope the Hogan vs 3:16 WM24 match rumour is true, hey I mean come on, who wouldn't want that? XD

They're actually married with a daughter in real life.

And I've been watching the vids on the website, cos I can't get Sky Sports anymore. And what stuck out for me was, during Hogan's thanking the fans, he slipped in a "never say never".

Hogan vs. SCSA at WM24 could happen, bus, like has been discussed in the thread, it's a question of SCSA's medical conditions.

mewthree w/armor December 11th, 2007 10:59 AM

Did anyone else see how ripped Steve Blackman still is? He isn't that young anymore either. Damm.

RVD looked quite good also.

We got to see Big Dick Johnston to...He is funny. LOL.

I know right! Blackman still looked phenomenal. I wouldn't mind seeing him back tot ell you the truth.

And RVD looked good as well. But dayum, my sources failed me with the RVD thing. Congrats to WWE for keeping it under wraps though (if they did indeed ink him to a new, long term deal. The only other possibility I could think of is his old contract still isn't quite up yet and he just wanted to come back for the XV show. But I doubt that).

I was really happy to see a lot of the older superstars from the attitude era there. I liked that they gave Trish and Lita both a proper sendoff now (if they are actually staying retired) considering that they are actually friends and I'm sure they wouldn't want their last encounter to be remembered as them ahting each other's guts. Anyone notice though that Trish looked better than when she lefy but Lita actually looked like she gained a little weight? I guess the rock singer life is treating her good.

I thought the Greatest RAW Superstar segment was pretty funny though. I liked how Austin helped him up and then stunnered him. Predictable, but still funny.

But here is my only gripe of the show. The lack of The Great One, the Icon, The People's Champ, The Rock! It really aggravates me that he can't take off one damn night of his busy schedule of making box office flops to give back to the company that gave him so much. I mean, WWE helped to shape him into who he is today, and he owes his current situation to them. I lost a lot of respect for him knowing that Hulk Hogan can come back despite supposedly being on bad terms with the company, Trish and Lita can manage coming back, half of the wrestlers of the '90s can come back and yet he finds it somehow too hard to tell his producer that he wants to take one night off to go and celebrate the anniversary of the TV show that he helped to make what it is today and also made him what he is today. I mean, he didn't even film a titantron clip to play.

But enough of my ramblings on Rocky, it was still the best RAW I've seen in months. On a 1 to 10 I would give it a 9 without thinking twice.

Skaterzpenguin December 11th, 2007 4:38 PM

My fav. wwe superstars are jeff hardy, bobby lashley, batista, matt hardy, CM punk, and chris jericho!!!!!

LethalTexture December 12th, 2007 9:22 AM

wolfie, I completely agree with every single point you make there. I was both shocked and dissapointed that The Rock didn't return. He was one of my heroes as a kid, and like you say, he wouldn't be where he is today without the WWE. I hope he makes a return one day. He is one of the best wrestlers of all time, makes a fantastic face OR heel, and as I said, one of my childhood heroes. I wouldn't have such an interest in it today without him.

As for Hulk Hogan, as I stated in one of my posts above, he slipped in a "never say never" in after he helped Hornswoggle. This could mean two things. Either he has kissed and made up with the McMahons, and is planning a return, or something else that I've read about. I'll try and find the source for you guys, but he told a British newspaper, "The Sun", that he was currently funding a set-up of his own wrestling federation.

wolfie1177 December 12th, 2007 3:17 PM

Oh, I don't know how I forgot about my biggest mark of the night Monday!

GILLLLLLLBERG! GILLLLLLLBERG! GILLLLLLLLLLLBERG!

I was practically peeing my pants when he came out with the sparklers and everything. Brought me back to the glory days of WWE vs. WCW.

mewthree w/armor December 12th, 2007 5:03 PM

New QUESTION:

Part One: We saw the one time return of RVD, do you think he will be re-signing soon?

Part Two: We see lots of wrestlers being hurt and burned out. Do you think it is time for Vince to give either the wrestlers a few months off per year, or do less shows?

1: I hope it was a one-time only. I stated before, I hope that he goes to TNA, because the match possibilities for him there seem endless.

2: I think wrestlers do that sometimes anyway. Obviously earlier this year Taker was hurt, but I think that he takes off from time to time. I honestly think that this year was just an anomaly as far as injuries go. You don't usually see that many guys being out of action in one year. The WWE's road schedule is intense and guys know that before they sign on so I don't see guys being interested in taking breaks all that often. They know what they're getting into when they sign on with the 'E. If someone wants a light schedule they should sign on with TNA where they don't have to travel.

Cosmic Tyrant December 13th, 2007 9:44 AM

I has a few questions:

1. Why in the hell did the Cruiserweight title become discontinued?

2. Why are they pushing the Morrison/Miz Tag champion thing so much? It was better when they were contenders for the ECW belt in my opinion.

3. What's gonna happen to Charlie Haas? Shelton was pretty much the whole reason Hass came back, but he got transfered to the land of extreme.

4. Why is Khali stuck in mid/bottom card?

That' pretty much all that's on my mind...

Serves no purpose in the WWE. Vince hates lightweights. TNA loves them. Vince will sign lightweights, but only push monsters due to his liking of them.

2. Why are they pushing the Morrison/Miz Tag champion thing so much? It was better when they were contenders for the ECW belt in my opinion.

I have heard nothing about this. My guess would be due to ECW not being on stable ground they were trying to make some stables. Very few stars on ECW to draw ratings.

3. What's gonna happen to Charlie Haas? Shelton was pretty much the whole reason Hass came back, but he got transfered to the land of extreme.

Got nothing here.

4. Why is Khali stuck in mid/bottom card?

My guess would be they have no storylines for him to be part of. Happened with Booker T after moving to RAW. Same thing with Brian Kendrick & Paul London. They went from being champs on Smackdown to nothing on RAW. In WWE your at the mercy of the writers. His knees are not great either, they might be letting him heal up for a bit A LA Kurt Angle on TV with broken leg.

That' pretty much all that's on my mind...

I have posted my comments in bold.

The Real AAA December 16th, 2007 11:13 AM

i got question, um do u think I should order Armageddon today? or wait for No Way Out? I'm only going to order 3 PPVs, 2 of them are Royal Rumble n WrestleMania but 1 of them is either No Way Out or Armageddon, so...

I don't know about this one dude. The card didn't seem real great to me, the two top matches seem ok, but you gotta make that call.

That' pretty much all that's on my mind...

1. Because they ran out of ideas to keep it fresh. The division went downhill after Mysterio left it. I think it would make a decent midcard title for ECW though, if they bring some lightweight guys over.

2. Because they don't have enough talent to carry a brand, even if that brand is ECW. They're not half the wrestlers or entertainers that a guy like Punk is, and they made an easy fix for that by slapping the tag titles on them.

3. I have a strange feeling that Haas may be waiting out his contract to leave. That's the only explanation I could think of for them breaking up WGTT and sending Benji to ECW.

4. Because he's very limited in his wrestling skills and his novelty is beginning to wear off. Once he got pinned for the first time his mystique went away, and now he's just another crappy monster like Mark Henry and BDV. I most certainly wouldn't say that he's "stuck" in the mid-card, it's where his limited skill set and charisma belongs.

Noob of the Year December 17th, 2007 8:52 AM

And so, the Rated R Era has once again begun on Smackdown. Good thing too. I didn't want Batista to remain champ. Edge makes a Good World champion.

wolfie1177 December 18th, 2007 1:42 PM

So the main event of ECW is *shock* not including BDV, Mark Henry or Kane! I never thought I'd see the day.

LethalTexture December 18th, 2007 2:09 PM

So then, JBL is returning to Raw as a competitor. And it looks like the RKO vs. Y2J saga is over already. Now it's JBL vs. Y2J and RKO vs. Jeff. Good stuff?

I quoted myself just to give you all an update that the rumor i posted up 2 or 1 week(s) ago could be true!!!

No, not good stuff. I like the Hardy push, but I hate the idea of having to see JBL back in the ring again. I will be extremely dissapointed if they put Jericho, an extremely talented wrestler who still can put on a great show, with JBL, who quite frankly is past his prime and could do nothing more than bring down Jericho's return WM match. I mean, he was out of shape before he started commentating, imagine what he's like now.

Cosmic Tyrant December 20th, 2007 2:26 AM

Well, the way I see it, JBL is most likely going to have a feud with Ron Simmons, his old APA partner. The Y2J Vs. JBL may happen at WM24, but probably not before JBL Vs. Ron Simmons.

As to Wolfie's comment, I have to say I agree to a certain degree. Yes, he is out of shape, but JBL has always been large. 6'8, 300+ pounds. Not very many people that can size up to that, though isn't saying much for a guy who was beaten by Rey Mysterio so easily. JBL has always been a good grappler in my memory, which coupled with his size can spell trouble for a lot of people. But that'll only get you halfway. JBL needs to focus on his mat skills. If he improves those, and throws in a few arials here and there, I'd say he's on his way.

Did you really just put aerials and JBL in the same sentence? That's about the biggest oxymoron I have ever heard. The day that JBL jumps off the top rope is the day that pigs fly over a frozen hell with Big Daddy V and Mark Henry putting on a quality match.

And JBL most definitely isn't in even remotely the same shape he used to be in. Look back to his acolyte days versus his last run and you'd see what I mean. He was ddefinitely never the most in-shape guy, but he was certainly less defined during his last run as opposed to his younger days.
