"WWE RAW" Talkback (Spoilers)

**The Penguin** · 03-26-2007, 08:32 PM

As we near the Ford Field exit on the Road to WrestleMania 23, the final RAW stop comes your way tonight on USA. We will see a No Way Out main event rematch as well as Vince McMahon taking on the man who could cause him to lose his hair on Sunday, Bobby Lashley.

Last stop on the Road to WrestleMania
March 26, 2007

Mr. McMahon has promised that the last Raw before WrestleMania will be the biggest one of all time. It is only fitting that the show will air live from Chicago, the home of last year’s WrestleMania.

With two huge main events, it looks like the show will live up to Mr. McMahon’s claims. World Tag Team Champions (and WrestleMania competitors) John Cena & Shawn Michaels will face World Heavyweight Champion Batista & Undertaker in a No Way Out rematch. Will the tenuous relationship between The WWE Champ & HBK stay intact?

At WrestleMania, Mr. McMahon’s representative Umaga will face Donald Trump’s representative Bobby Lashley in the Battle of the Billionaires. On Raw, Mr. McMahon himself will go one-on-one with the ECW World Champion. Does The Chairman have what it takes to topple the powerful Lashley?

As if two main events weren't big enough, Raw is going to get sexier than ever with the first-ever team-up of three Playboy cover girls - Ashley, Candice and Torrie - as they battle Women's Champion Melina, Victoria and Jillian. Who will prevail in this Six-Diva Tag Match? Will Melina and Ashley get some pre-'Mania action as they compete in the same ring on Raw?

Former World Tag Team Champions Edge & Randy Orton have also been at each other’s throats of late. Will their partnership continue to disintegrate as the Road to WrestleMania comes to an end?

I've decided to give WWE a chance to redeem itself after that demoralizing stinky dump of a show last week. If they can't get the Raw before WM right, all hope is lost.

**RedNinja84** · 03-26-2007, 08:37 PM

Don't get your hopes up. We'll probably have Vince and Umaga beat down Lashley and we once again get Cena/Michaels vs. Batista/Undertaker

**EinBebop** · 03-26-2007, 08:40 PM

NOONE DIED THIS WEEK!

(except Joey Mercury's career)

**Rolling Cloud** · 03-26-2007, 09:14 PM

Wait! Who did Mr. Mcmahon supposedly Fire?

**VCXZX** · 03-26-2007, 09:18 PM

Way too predictable opening segment. It won't accomplish much in the long run and they could've done more with the epic main event tonight. The tag main event that is.

So Jillian Hall is on RAW tonight. Might as well call the brand extenstion on life support. But seriously Jillian Hall was pretty good in the 6-woman match tonight. Hopefully she gets a womens' title shot soon.

Lumber Jill match at Mania. So basically all the divas are going to be at Mania, and half the male wrestlers won't be there. Way to go wwe.

I liked the Cutting Edge segment. It did a nice job of selling the MITB matchj. Finley was great on the mic. He's quite underrated . Edge was great as host too.

**EinBebop** · 03-26-2007, 09:50 PM

Brilliant Cutting Edge segment. That may have sold Wrestlemania for me.

**Areku** · 03-26-2007, 10:09 PM

Well everyone saw this comming (( Vince vs Bobby I mean ))

**SirLemming** · 03-26-2007, 10:10 PM

Vince McMahon's idea of giving the people what they want:

"This match is going to be an actual match with a remote chance of being interesting, not just some random beatdown crap."
1 HOUR LATER:
"Just kidding! Here's some random beatdown crap that means nothing and won't affect anything."

The Cutting Edge was really good tonight, though. Just a bunch of wrestlers ripping each other over the mic. Not to say they were all good at it, but there were enough good talkers there to provide counterpoints and ups and downs to everything.

**Rolling Cloud** · 03-26-2007, 10:11 PM

Wait, so it's impossible for somebody to get up after being samoan spiked?

That's the biggest piece of Bull**** I've ever heard.

HBK got up after his head being split, a spike's worse than that?

**PTurkey** · 03-26-2007, 10:30 PM

Little Torrie Wilson is definately a boy in a wig.

**VCXZX** · 03-26-2007, 10:33 PM

They forgot to mention FRUITY FRUITY FRUITY SKITTLES.

Great piece though.

at JR shooting "Bowling Shoe-Ugly" is slang fo' a crappy, crappy match.

**Areku** · 03-26-2007, 11:08 PM

I miss WWF

Althought the tag team with Undertaker, Cena, Shawn, and Batista was quite interesting.

Have you ever been punched in the throat before? I know the Spike is staged but if you get punched in the throat, you will be on the ground gasping for air and won't be getting up very quick at all.

**VCXZX** · 03-26-2007, 11:12 PM

The main event could've been better if it wasnt' rushed. They should've spent a bit more time on the 2 title matches rather than more Billionaire/Austin/Lindsey crap.

Why the deuce did they cut to a commercial break and then show replays after the break to end the show?

Overall, so-so RAW,.

**RedNinja84** · 03-26-2007, 11:14 PM

See my above post for about how predictable Raw was tonight. It's good to see JR is being inducted this year. Fun Fact: If Undertaker beats Batista this sunday, he will have defeated all four members of Evolution at Wrestlemania. He beat HHH at 17, Ric Flair at 18 and Randy Orton at 21.

Yeah I think that was a first for Raw. You're lucky WWE, you've redeemed yourself and will have my attention for now.

**Ahiru-kun** · 03-26-2007, 11:17 PM

Great Raw

I was happy that it was in Chicago because I knew the crowd would be rowdy during Cena's match.

Vince's firing of his driver had me rolling.

That was the best Cutting Edge segment ever. It was nice seeing all those egos in one ring.

J.R.'s Hall of Fame induction was long overdue.

Vince finally gets his revenge on Lashley. Took long enough.

The double five knuckle shuffle followed by sweet chin music was almost on par with HBK's turn on Hogan. It was even better when he mixed it with some DX attitude.

Well, when you put it that way. I can't really argue!
