Re: Raw

The Masterlock thing is stupid. When a guy starts in the position of sitting on a chair while having the move applied, he's already at a disadvantage. He has to get up out of the chair to even get any momentum going, and by that time, Masters is already into that swinging motion. It's a no-win situation. Lame.

yes...it's like Angle's 3 minute challenge, I'm pretty sure they grab indy wrestlers from the cities they go to for these...someone more in the know can correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my impression

Re: Raw

They have to be, theirs no way it can be as random as it looks on TV, it raises injury issues and all that, I'm sure its set up beforehand and the person that ends up going in the masterlock has to sign a waiver or something making 100% sure that WWE is not responsible for any injury's that could occur.

As far as overtime goes, Raw does it every week but Smackdown still makes a point of allowing more time therefore having a possible better match. I think the main event needs to start at quarter to the hour at the latest to allow 15 minutes for a good match + commercial break and then have the overtime to show the finish and whatever offbeat shanagians happen after.

Re: Raw

Maybe the whole Master Lock thing is just going to end up with someone who can beat him and they'll be a new wrestler, who will conveniently enter a feud with Masters. I don't know it's just a thought I had. Otherwise, if this keeps going with nobody ever breaking it, it's pretty dumb.

Re: Raw

And by the way, I haven't watched Raw for about 2 years before watching a little last week and all of this week's show. When did these commercial breaks during matches (especially a main event!) come about. It's terrible.

The guy Masters beat up last night was Jimmy Jact Cash. Cant say I've ever seen him wrestle. But lately the only reason I even check RAW or Smackdown results is to see if any ROH guys got beat up by Masters or Angle.

I will be checking out this show though.

Re: Raw

I marked out like crazy when Benoit beat HHH.


My dream would be for Benoit to win the tournament, beat Batista, and get another title run.

What will probably happen is HHH is somehow still going to end up #1 Contender.

Re: Raw

Then how about this....are they actually trying to break it, or is it already planned that they are not going to break it...im sure its planned, just want the confirmation.

also im sure one of these times masters will be trying to pick somebody and someones theme will hit and they will walk down and break it.

Re: Raw

I don't know about that one, i don't see any guy from out of the crowd simply breaking the master lock myself, its going to an actual WWE guy at some point breaking that hold.

Stupid thing is they did this same bit a long time ago around wrestlemania 7, Warlord had the full nelson and challenged the british bulldog and the bulldog went out and not only broke the full nelson but ended up beating warlord in the middle of the ring.

Re: Raw

That was one of the better RAWs I've seen in the last couple years.... The Benjamin vs HBK match was I think a possible canidate for match of the year

It was a great match, but it doesn't touch HBK/Angle from WM21.

And no, I highly doubt Edge will be going back to SD, given the fact that he still has his money in the bank title shot.

Re: Raw

Its all but guaranteed Christian is gonna be Cena's next fued on Smackdown.

Re: Raw

By far one of the best matches that I have seen was the HBK/Benjamen match. I haven't watched wrestling for probably 3-4 years ( a full episode ), but last night I watched all of it. It was actually pretty good.

I didn't care for the Big Viscera section, but everything else seemed pretty solid. I was hoping Hogan would come out, but I guess he's not coming back again.

And when Batista pulled away the ropes, was a classic moment. HHH yelling at him, and he was just smiling :y4:

Overall, I would give it a 4/5. On a side note, does the Undertaker still wrestle? Is he back in his full deadman routine? Or is he the Walker Texas Ranger deadman still?

Undertaker is not the full deadman that he was in the early to mid 90's but he did ditch the american badass thing, he still does the "soup bones" as opposed to the uppercut thrusts he used to deliver but its still better than coming down to Limp bizkit on a motorbike. He does try the last ride every once and awhile though.
