WWF RAW - Best for a While hey

Original Desmond · 05-23-01, 10:25 AM

Was the best Raw or Smackdown since pre Wrestlemania!

the Jericho/Benoit V HHH/Austin match was as most people have said one of the matches of the year to date! what chemistry!

This feud has soo much potential ! give Jericho the bulk of the mic work with Benoit being the silent hitman !

other matches were good as well. Interesting to see how the Angle/Shane O mac angle goes. We might be heading towards Angle V Booker T or something

well Vince knew he had to change things and he has

good boy Vince

Too bad HHH had to take a hit on his knee (they say 3-6 months)... I think that'll put a damper on things.

But I'm glad to finally see the Chris' elevated to something... they'll be great tag champs (albeit a short reign), but it shows they can work the main eventers... the WWF is showing up in my back yard this weekend (SLC, UT) and I'd like to go, but the wife is saying "NO!"

Oh darn... I got NITRO tickets for me for my b-day last year...

Yeah that is bad about HHH. The man is such a Pro he never broke stride finishing off the match!

HHH is due for a break though. He's been on the air nonstop for years. He needs a break and he'll come back bigger and badder than ever !

I always take off for the month after Wrestlemania (as do the writers) and then return after the next PPV. Many times it takes two or three months to get back in stride. Monday's show was nice to see, tho I'm still completely bored with SCSA and HHH together ... *yawn*

It was an excellent show, the best Raw in quite some time. The booking of the main event tag match was brilliant, too bad Triple Haitch was injured doing a simple lunge. Just one of those freaky accidents. This will change immediate plans obviously. Please, no more Kane & 'Taker for a while.

While I doubt anyone would really care, what will they do with Steph? Will she be out of a husband or leace with him? Or, will they get smart and take her off the show totally?

I completely agree that this was the best show in a LLLOOONNNGGGG time. It was nice to see the main event go the distance, instead of what has been going on lately. (ie: HHH vs Taker, HHH & SCSA vs, Kane) where the match was maybe 5 min long or so. I was also pleasantly suprised that the HC title match had no run in's. One question tho... When was HHH injured? I missed it. I'll have to re-watch the tape.

Did somebody say WCW?

No seriously, I missed this showing of Raw because I read a lot of the so-called spoilers from the various wrestling websites.

Have they mentioned anything on the new WCW on Raw yet? Maybe a hint at this

actually they could have an angle where steph cheats behind HHH's back with another wrestler then HHH comes back to kick his arse !

WCW invasion of Raw or Smackdown?

Shane came on and said WCW was starting sooner than expected. Should be a good angle with Angle and WCW
