WWE: Raw (29th June 09)
Raw tonight doesn't have a lot advertised on the wwe website:
At The Bash, Edge & Chris Jericho then put egos aside and talents together to capture the Unified Tag Team Titles in a Triple Threat bout. Just 24 hours later, former champions Carlito & Primo intend to reclaim their titles on Raw.- Just a week after The WWE Chairman ousted Donald Trump from the reigns of Monday Night Raw, Mr. McMahon kicks off tonight's show by revealing a special guest host for Raw. Who is this mystery individual and what might their presence yield?
Personally, I think that the Edge and Jericho partnership could be pretty entertaining in both promos and wrestling. for that reason I can't see Carlito & Primo getting the titles back for a while.
Feel free to discuss the new Edge and Jericho team, or tonights Raw here.
I wanted Edge/Christian.
Edge/Jericho is the next best thing. The top 2 promo guys in the WWE.
I think we should do a short tribute to Mr Jackson this week in the Raw chat.

why?
jmart,
Because he was unique.
On with Raw, looks like a tournament.
the last time HHH lost to anyone “CLEAN CLEAN” without the announcing using an excuse was vs Cena at Night of Champions last year. The last time before that was at Wrestlemania and he wasnt even pinned.
I was sure that MVP was going to win that match. Jesus Christ.
Carlito was impressive in that match.
Jsnwwf After Cena beat’s Miz, HHH will beat Cena at the Night of Champions HHH vs Randy Orton for the 59 time will take place again.
John Cena and his Ecko shorts.
So Shocked there Cena won again!
When did Maryse become French?
Maryse is hot. I did not like her till tonight. And Beth Pheniox reminds me of Victoria, she a great heel, and she’s one of the hottest Divas. I love Mickie James but Beth is hotter, but that’s just me
jsn-
triple h beat cena at NOC cena only beat hhh at mania22
I have to say, this site has lost a lot of steam since the new ownership.
It used to be a daily read for me and now it’s just once a week during Raw.
Hey folks its 313rd, only now the 734th bc I moved! I’ll probably still use the 313 area code but what the hell…
But anyway, why wont they just merge the unified tag titles into one belt instead of holding on to two?
313 / 734 …. Who would get to carry it? I see plenty of heel turns going on if that happened.
Jeyrod,
This week I found Kelly Kelly to be the hottest.
734,
lol
Is Randy using hypnosis?
mark Henry showed more charisma as a face then mvp did in 4 weeks that worked really well i wanna say now this may suck after this but it wasnt good
but it wasnt bad sorry i suck at typing i
Mark Henry = face, GOOD
RAW trades for 3 ECW wrestlers, GOOD. I guessed Bourne and Henry correct. I am guessing R’Truth and Morrison(hopefully not) or Finlay too.
HHH over MVP, BAD
Guest “hosts”, GOOD as long as they are wrestling related.
Positive RAW tonight. Bourne has a competitive match with Orton. Miz had a tough match vs Cena……a match that he should have had last night. Impressed by tonights RAW. Kofi vs Big Show looks like it can be good because of their wrestling styles and offense. I am feeling good about the future of RAW, except for No Santino, the Divas(minus maryse’s HOT ASS), and HHH still feuding with Orton.
HHH vs Cena III next week, Cena wins because of HHH’s injury and wrestles HHH in a Cell in a Cell at Summerslam
The feud doesnt deserve it.
Cena will defeat HHH because of HHH’s “injury”
Its Superman vs Older Superman w/ 1 leg.
jsnwwf I don’t know about the hell in the Cell match at Summerslam. The new PPV that is replacing No Mercy is called Hell in the Cell so Who knows if they will still have the Hell in the Cell at Summerslam
PF/Gooser:
I mean I wouldnt care per se who held the titles, why not consolidate it into one belt format if you’re gonna go back to the company having one set of tag champs.
And Mark Henry being a face would be weird after all these years.
YEAH BOY MARK HENRY A FACE!
I was supposed to be at this Raw. Too bad Raw sucks. Watched Tim Lincecum throw a beauty of a game instead. Jmart – last year you ragged on SF . This year it looks promising.
RAW didnt suck. It was pretty good, other than the 4 min HHH/MVP match
The Swagger bit was interesting. I was disappointed because I was looking forward to seeing them wrestle, but that was a pretty good way to make his RAW debut. I wonder if he will bid to join Legacy, if/when DiBiase turns face. He does look a little like Mr. Perfect…
Speaking of DiBiase, with his father hosting next week’s show, it would be a good opportunity for said face turn with a pep talk from dad. Hmm….
why? His dad was the über-heel.
Right. But the E is known for turning that on a dime. Old men turn face just via their age.
I’m too young to know much about DiBiase Sr’s career, but Jr. doesn’t have to become likable to turn on Orton. I think with the introduction of Swagger, the way he interacted with Orton, and the rumors that the WWE wants a face turn for Ted, could all add up. Doesn’t have to happen that way, but it would be entertaining to see the chemistry between Orton and Swagger(they can make up a lineage for him).
after watching ecw, it seems as if the wwe are very pleased with themselves and the first turnout of talent from ecw. Who will be the next swagger in the new look ecw? Personally im surprised Shelton Benjamin has been sent back to the training camp fo ecw.
Shelton showed emotion for the 1st time since his mother was his manager. Pretty funny!
I enjoyed ECW, but I don’t understand why Finlay was moved to smackdown. A veteran like him should be on ECW to work with the new talent that arrives from FCW. At least the WWE put 2 other veterans on ECW with Golddust and Regal.
SCMike–
So very true man! Yet Vince likes to create this world where anything happens in the past does not exist. So for example, if Wrestler A and Wrestler B were lower carders/jobbers and wrestled one another on occasion and some years later they became popular and faced one another now as big time stars, color commentary would have to say “this is the FIRST TIME EVER these two super stars ever faced one another in the same ring”
Trust me, I dont get it either.
