RAW is WAR 8/13

ok, i gotta say that steph looks pretty good right now in that skimpy camoflage dress. the cameraman is doing a great job. if she didn't get implants recently, then she has done a good job of hiding them, IMO.

Jericho's little speech on Steph's breasts was great. I guess we now know for sure that they are implants.

That was the best promo I have seen in a very long time. Reminds me when jericho started in the wwf they are great together. "Thanks you are the breast"

I think Y2J just answered the implant question once and for all tonight.

Geez I haven't laughed out loud this much in years

Y2J's promo was great! The WWF is really doing some intelligent banter tonight. The promo about Steph's breasts was hilarious, and I also enjoy the little comic book discussions about the Green Lantern. You had to love Steph's expression during Jericho's little tyrade, classic!

Let the boobies hit the floor!

I don't know how much more I can take of WCW members having to humiliate themselves just to get on TV. They either have to cheat to win a match or they get dominated and embarassed. The potential the Invasion had to be good has long since past. They need to break up the WCW and be done with it. Some of them might get half a chance to compete if they were just part of the WWF. The outcomes are getting so predictible its hardly worth watching anymore.

The promos are funny as always though.

Well, some might say that the implant question was answered tonight.. but think again... it just confused matters.. I mean, look at how the WWF has always reflected on implants on the wrestlers.. they treat it as a growth or just don't talk about it stand point. they never brough up the issue with lita or chyna. they just let them go at it and never mentioned anything of how they developed.

Now steph. do you actually think that father dearest will let his daughter get implants for television viewership? nah. he has some respect for his family. and they would never have shot the promo they did tonight if they were implants.. that would be just to obvious.

She is stuffing and wearing the certain bra's. not anything surgical... since that would be a dead give away.

now for RAW.. loved it. they pulled a lot of good moves tonight. the who wcw making a fool of themselves on air time in order to get air time.. it is a bit like that is happening to much. but its cool aslong as they get known by the regular wwf viewers before they get some sort of push. not every WWF fan new all the wcw wrestlers before the invasion, so some introductory is needed.

i dont think they could even be implants, because she was good on one raw and then the next night at the smackdown tapings she was huge, you can't get implants that fast and be back on tv, i dont like them big like they are now either, i liked them before

Well Steph looked damn good tonight ! As far as the rest it was pretty good , i want to see what Tazz does on Smackdown to Stone Cold because you know Tazz isn't gonna take that sh!t . And the Green Latern thing with Kurt Angle was pretty funny and his line no one spills my milk . Can you say commercial in the works or something to that extent .

also the alliance is supposed to be heels. I don't know how long you've been watching wrestling, but that is all classic heel stuff so it doesn't bother me.

The way they are handling Booker T is classic heel stuff for sure, but the way many of the other guys are getting dominated and made to look like morons is way over the top. No WWF fan will ever respect Sean O'Hare for example (one of the best young wrestlers in the whole WWF) if he gets manhandled that easily every match. I think making the WCW heels killed any chance for them to get over with WWF fans and definitely killed any future hope for them getting their own show. I think a large part of the viewing audience would love to see most of them just go away all together.

Booker T is getting the classic heel push. He will have to job for the Rock at Summerslam or there might be a screwjob to give him back the title, but the exposure he is getting is very much like the start Kurt Angle got not long ago. He is getting to show that he does have big time skills and crowd appeal and Booker T will be over big before you know it.

My problem is not anyone else is really getting this. DDP is ruining himself with the moronic stalker angle (Undertaker is a bad first foe for him as well since Taker would never lose clean to a guy like DDP) and too many of the other guys are either looking like cowards and idiots or just plain getting lost in the shuffle. When this all shakes down in a few months I doubt more than a small handful of WCW guys will even remain on the WWF roster.

Obviously there is only so much airtime for the WWF to showcase people and the Rock and Stone Cold eat up most of that. Its also hard to see where these angles may turn in the future. I expect the Alliance to start breaking down pretty soon. Maybe Vince can find another way to shake up this storyline in a better way after Summerslam.

They did make a big deal over Chyna getting implants. Back when DX was just HBK, Triple H and Chyna they introduced a 4th and 5th member of DX...Chyna's breasts. Great promo.

Yep, I remember HBK introducing the 2 new members... I think it's on the DX video.

I'll be the first to admit when i'm worng. well here is the proof for all of you who where like me and can't figure out whats real and whats fake

I just finished listening to the Opie and Anthony Radio Show on WNEW, 102.7 in New York, and a caller phoned in and was talking to the two about Stephanie McMahon on Raw and if they had seen her, and O & A go off on how big her breasts are and how positive Anthony is they are implants, while both say they would want to talk to someone in the WWF to confirm if they are implants or not, and if yesterday's skit was just some exaggerated specualation. They get the word that Stephanie herself would call in. When she did, they mostly talked about if they are real or not, and she did confirm they were real, and that shes had them for 5 weeks now, around the time when she was off the air and when she was introduced as the owner of ECW. She said that the implants are swollen, and she's needed to massage them and such for medical reasons. Jay Mohr, a frequent visitor to the show, started hitting on her, asking to switch home phone numbers and such. Opie and Anthony also said how ! she slimmed down, looking from her arms in the before and after pictures that Jericho brought up on the Titantron. She said she's been working out for about a year, but still isn't at her desired area. From then on they kept cracking boob jokes, had audio clips of her father from the Trish Stratus stripping promo, and was talking about the WWF lawsuit with the World Wildlife Fund, saying that when you hear the Initials WWF, you don't think of a fuzzy panda bear, but wrestling. O&A also tried to ask her about HHH, but she seemed to pry away from the subject. Before she left she got to plug Summerslam and the live Smackdown, and that was the end of the segment. I believe Opie and Anthony are now syndicated across the country, and they are very big wrestling fans, so look out for that.

Reader James sent this in:

Stephanie McMahon was on the Opie and Anthony radio show today to promote Summer Slam but there were a few other things that went on.

First, she confirmed that she had just gotten breast implants and that it was partly brought about becuase she was seeing signs in the crowd that said Stephanie sags. She also wouldn't comment on anything having to do with HHH because thats her personal life. She also said that the split with Chyna was not a bad one, the O & A then said that there must be a big demand for women who look like Herman Munster in hollywood now, that was pretty funny. She then went onto say that Booker T would beat the Rock this weekend and the guys said that Booker T had to lose so the 2 big guys could battle with the other federation's titles. The guys then invited her to come to the studio anytime and then they said that they don't like her anymore becasue they ripped on the XFL. Thats pretty much it.

So.. i guess they're real...i mean fake real.. uh yeah.

Rock/Jericho were hilarious! No surprise about Steph, we've been saying this for weeks...

Was it me or were there hardly any matches last night?

And isn't the Steph thing just Chyna all over again? (DX did pretty much the same thing when Chyna suddenly got, umm, larger...)

I thought the show (what I saw of it anyways) was decent. I also enjoyed the Steph angle and she has definatly improved on her looks w/the new boobies.
But I also think the the WCW guys won't become a true threat if they keep having the get squashed on the show. I think it's time for the WWf guys to start getting the snuff beat out of them. I mean how many more times can we see the Rock take out 4 guys? It loses something everytime they do that.
As for the Austin angle, where he whipped Tazz with the belt. Was anyone else reminded of an old nWo angle where Hogan whipped Savage with his belt while the other members of the nWo helped? I've seen this before....time for something new, please. I would have loved to see Tazz get in some quick shots on Austin and hitailing it to the back.

I think the Austin angle was needed to begin the demise of the Aliance. We will probably see members leaving in coming weeks because of the problems with Austin's ego and end up with everyone just being part of the WWF. I just wonder what will be done with the WCW belts when the Invasion angle is done? Probably unification at a PPV.

I don't know about that, darkside. It's clear that less people are watching wrestling now than before Vince bought his competition. I look forward to the day when he can afford to split WCW off and run it independantly, with the order still coming from Titan HQ's of course.

As for Austin to bring down the alliance, isn't that what Hogan eventually did? There was a time when he was neither nWo or Wolfpac nWo.

Tommorow was supposed to be the debut of the new WCW show. From what I'm reading that day will probably never come.

As a former WCW fan, I'm just glad Booker T is getting some big time exposure. By the time he finally got a push on Nitro the show was already beyond help. Its good to finally see him shine in front of a big audience. He will have to earn his dues for awhile, but I think he has a chance to be one of the top 5 WWF stars by the end of the year. I just hope we see him beating guys like Angle and the Rock soon without needing to cheat. Not sure if any other WCW guys really stand a chance right now, but maybe the Cruiserweights will start getting some airtime soon. Helms vs X-pac is a match I want to see.
