You know it occurs to me that the reason that this Raw was extra shitty was due to the fact that there were supposed to be three matches tonight instead of one triple threat match.
What?

It was going to be a triple threat tag team secret partner match, not three separate matches where they picked their opponents.
 
Wow, incredibly shitty Raw, that is until the end. :D Edge winning...Cenakid...I was marking out and laughing my ass off all at the same time. :lol

Though I have a feeling it'll only be a matter of days before Cena overcomes the odds. :(

Logically, I'm expecting Summerslam, but it could be as early as SNME.

King Booker vs Rey Mysterio at GAB... pretty safe to say Booker will win and finally get a title run, and Batista will feud with him.

I still wouldn't be 100% on that.
 
edge winnnnss whoo whoo

so rvd and sabu are gonna fade into obscurity, for a few months, i'm guessing?

When WWE said they would not make an angle of the confrontation, you knew what was going to happen.
 
Outcast2004 said:
So the belt is changing hands just as rapidly as it did during the "Attitude" years.

That is bullshit right there. RVD ****ed himself and you know it. Were they supposed to keep the belts on him after his 'lifestyle' became a public and legal matter?
 
Spoilers for the next 2 weeks of TNA-

FULL TNA IMPACT AND XPLOSION SPOILERS
by Richard Trionfo @ 1:12:00 AM on 7/4/2006


Here are the results for the Impact and Xplosion Tapings for the Impact episodes on July 6, 2006 and July 13, 2006 as well as the next two weeks of Xplosion from Soundstage 21 at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.

For the episode to air on July 6, 2006:

Jeremy Borash was at Sting’s door in the back and Christian Cage arrives and he talks about how he will be Sting’s partner tonight, but at Victory Road, things will be different.

Match Number One: Sonjay Dutt defeats Homicide (with Konnan and Hernandez) by disqualification after Konnan distracts the referee and Hernandez helps Homicide get the apparent pinfall. Referee Slick Johnson came out and told the referee what happened and the decision was reversed to Sonjay Dutt. Ron Killings comes out to help Sonjay Dutt. Homicide was introduced by Moody Jack at the Spanish announce table and they entered at the Spanish Announce Table instead of either chute.

Larry Zbyszko and Slick Johnson argue in front of the announce table.

Eric Young comes out to the announce table and he talks to Don West and Mike Tenay but they could not be heard by the people in the Impact Zone. It appeared that he was trying to do everything to keep from being fired. Slick Johnson comes out and he has Eric help hand out photos of Larry Zbyszko bald. Team Canada comes out and they take Eric Young to the back.

Match Number Two: Monty Brown defeats Kenny King. After the match, Monty cut a promo about the four participants in the Road to Victory match and Jeff Jarrett and says that they will all fall to the pounce.

Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner were interviewed by Jeremy Borash. Jarrett talks about how Sting said the worst thing that could happen would be to have him with the title, but it still happened. Steiner says that he will take care of Christian and Sting tonight.

Kevin Nash comes out with Alex Shelley and Johnny Devine and they bring a body bag in a shopping cart. Nash says that they have captured Osama Bin Laden and they open the body bag and it is Chris Sabin. Shelley and Devine fight Sabin and Jay Lethal comes out to make the save.

Samoa Joe is interviewed in the back by Jeremy Borash and Joe talks about the Road to Victory match. He addresses all of the people in the match and he tells Steiner that he has not forgotten and that he will not only beat Steiner but he will hurt him and make Steiner’s children cry.

Match Number Three: Sting and Christian Cage defeat Scott Steiner and Jeff Jarrett when Sting pins Jeff Jarrett after a Scorpion Death Drop and a frog splash. After the match, Steiner attacks Christian Cage and Sting with the title belt. Samoa Joe comes out and he fights with Steiner and they fight to the back. Sting and Jarrett also fight outside the ring and to the back. Christian is left standing in the ring holding the NWA World Heavyweight Title belt as the first episode of Impact ends.

I do not know if this is going to air on either week, but it seemed like before the second episode of Impact starts, Rhino comes out with a red sack. He talked about decisions that he had to make. He mentions the offer that was made to him by Vince McMahon to go to ECW but he told Vince McMahon no. He wondered how there could be an ECW when the final ECW Television and World Champion was not there. Rhino mentions that he has the ECW Title belt with him but because of Vince’s lawyers he cannot bring it out. He challenges Vince to come to the Impact Zone to take the belt back but he does not think Vince will come to get it.


Episode to air on July 13, 2006:

Match Number One: Abyss (with James Mitchell) defeats Norman Smiley with the Black Hole Slam. After the match, the James Gang comes out and they want to know if Abyss will officially become their partner for the match against Team 3D. BG James talks about making a deal with the devil.

Match Number Two: Senshi defeats Jerrelle Clark with the double stomp.

Match Number Three: A.J. Styles and Christopher Daniels defeats Alex Shelley and Johnny Devine in a non-title match after Styles hit the Styles Clash on Devine. The ‘Neutralizer’ comes out to stop Shelley from using the camera. After the match, America’s Most Wanted and Gail Kim come out and attack Styles, Daniels, and the Neutralizer. Security separates the women while Styles and Daniels are attacked by America’s Most Wanted, Shelley, and Devine.

Jeremy Borash is in the locker room with Team Canada as they prepare for their ‘All or Nothing’ eight man tag match. If they lose, they will be forced to officially break up with no third chance. The person getting the pin will get a future title match. Scott D’Amore is confident of victory and tells Eric Young to get his head in the game.

Match Number Four: Team 3D, Rhino, and Jay Lethal defeat Team Canada in the ‘All or Nothing’ match when Jay Lethal pinned A1. D’Amore’s attempt to interfere is stopped by Brother Runt. Lethal earns a future title match and Team Canada is forced to officially break up as a team.


Matches filmed for Xplosion:

Match Number One: Homicide (with Konnan and Hernandez) defeats Shark Boy.

Match Number Two: Chris Sabin and Sonjay Dutt defeat the Diamonds in the Rough (with Simon Diamond) when Sabin pinned Skipper.


The announced matches for the pay per view are as follows:

Samoa Joe versus Scott Steiner versus Christian Cage versus Sting in the Road to Victory Match with the winner facing Jeff Jarrett

America’s Most Wanted and Gail Kim versus A.J. Styles, Christopher Daniels, and the Neutralizer for the NWA World Tag Team Titles

James Gang and Abyss versus Team 3D (Brothers Ray, Devon, and Runt)

Raven versus Larry Zbyszko in a Hair Match (not on the TNA website but it was announced last week on Impact)
 
Edge is supposed to have his title celebration next Monday. We are all happy now, but if Edge doesn't bring back the traditional WWE title, or introduce his own variation of the title, Cena will be getting it back no latter than summerslam.

I'm not complaining, but it sort of sucks that they tried to give Cena ALL the credit for 'beating'' RVD, and play it like Edge came in and "stole" the title. He could just as easily have pinned Cena...

Awesome. But why can't they just do a Ric Flair there?

I think it'll be a while before we see the old title back. Vince is just making too much money off the Spinner-belt.
 
RVD will probably lose the ECW belt sometime soon too. The only big star left in ECW capable of carrying the title is probably Angle. I would much rather have seen them build someone up who seems more "ECW" and stick the belt on them.

I'm probably the only one here that would like to see Sandman have the belt for awhile. :)

Now we are trying to make his children cry? :lol

Tell me about it. I wish I had saved the money on the tickets and just watched it at home. Sitting through Smackdown was unbearable.

I was there as well, and I can confirm that Smackdown was a painful 2 hours of my life that I will never get back! RAW wasnt much better outside of the main event.
 
Liu Kang Baking A Pie said:
Test.

I'm ****ing serious.
I missed Raw, why won't it be Edge? They were scheduled to have a match for both belts tonight anyway...did they say that tonight's match was cancelled in the lead up to last night's match?

Edge will then have three belts, or 2.5 I guess.

Yeah, talk about lame. The audio problems at the start were bad enough, but they didn't even announce what the hell the point of the battle royal was. The only decent part of the whole show besides "All Hail King Booker" was the Batista return
which made Rey look like even more lame.
The funny part was that a lot of people didn't even seem to show up until Raw started, which was bad enough since DX never entered the building. And sitting through that Diva search video--ugh.

The guys in the crowd dressed up as the Spirit Squad were pretty amusing though. Oh yeah, and Grisham is more of an ass than I thought.

Edge was never going to win that match on ECW. You know it. The WWE title isn't going to change owners on the lowest rated, shortest show they have. That's millions of dollars Vince would have wasted.

Now that Edge has the WWE belt, there's no storyline reason at all for him to show up at ECW. He has nothing to prove there and doesn't care. I'm not positive the WWE writers will recognize this though. :(

Unfortunately, RVD ****ed up and had to lose the belt on Raw. You know Vince is fuming over having a title switch on regular free TV when we all could see that the Cena/Edge/RVD feud was building up to PPV matches.
 
ECW.com has learned that ECW representative Paul Heyman will open the show by addressing the status of the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, which as of this moment is still held by Rob Van Dam.

Looks like Heyman's going to do another one of his worked shoots on the RVD/Sabu situation.
 
I may miss ECW tonight...Which pretty much confirms CM Punk will appear on TV. I missed Raw last 4th of July, and missed HBK's 'heel turn'..something I had been dying for since HBK returned.
 
I was going to out to see the fireworks too but there are severe thunderstorm watches all over :lol funny as it hasn't rained here in a good while except for today. 4th of july am cry :( blah we'll see around 9.
 
How do you people not have PVRs? It's not 2003 anymore. You don't need a Tivo, there are great cheap PC cards out there with the right software.

I miss just about all of the wrestling shows because I just forget, but they're always waiting for me when I remember.

I'm working on getting one, but it still might be a few months off :(

Oh well, here's to hoping Heyman starts the program off good.
 
There's also other methods for watching these shows using your PC. That's the only way I can keep up with them living overseas...
 
I'm not THAT worried about missing anything, because I know places that put the shows up within minutes of it airing--but its just not the same watching wrestling on the computer. I mean CM Punk is one of my top two or three wrestlers, and I've never seen him on an actual TV. The Dozens of matches, scores of promos etc.. I've seen of him have all been via the internet.
 
For those talking about a silent croud during DX Skits

Degeneration X was EXTREMELY over with the crowd all night long. Their segments had the most interest from the crowd outside the Main Event. Vince's promo, in particular, had the crowd in stitches, though the fireworks came close, too. Great segments, BTW.

I for one would have been PISSED, that they didn't actually come out to the crowd, atleast after the cameras stopped rolling. I'm sure most there payed mostly to see HBK and HHH--I know that would have been my reasoning(along with Edge and Carlito).
 
A little off topic, but while waiting for wrestling, I saw a Miami Vice commercial...

WITH LINKIN PARK MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND.

:(
