Monday Night RAW Discussion

[Heather 8]

The ending of the Highlight Reel could only have been better if there was a barbershop window nearby for no real reason.

[cougarjake13]

anyone else getting the feeling he's just calling wwe employees and no real fans are gona win

[Sue_Bender]

The ending of the Highlight Reel could only have been better if there was a barbershop window nearby for no real reason.

The payback took some time.

But it was well worth it.

Oh, yeah...is it me or is Shawn Michaels going cross-eyed? Something's goin' on but I don't know what it is.

[Heather 8]

Kinda got the feeling when "Stephanie" won a little while ago.

[Heather 8]

OK, contest or not, gotta shut this off now. A fuggin' sing-off?!!

[Fallon]

They need to retool the whole fucking presentation of the contest. It just stops the show cold. Jackass doesn't know how to dial out and has never heard of a ringback before.

I noticed it wasn't the real Jeritron 5000, but still didn't put 2 and 2 together that someone would be going through it. I suck.

[conman823]

Fixed it.

[foodcourtdruide]

McMahon using a phone reminds me of when I try to show my Dad the internet.

[King Imp]

Did Vince honestly just have a press conference JUST to talk about this giveaway crap? Give me a break.

[Heather 8]

Tonight's password: Watch RAW & Win.

Now I can stop watching. :tongue:

What the hell is Flair doing back

What the hell is Flair doing back

Building a story that HHH can't on his own.

They finally came to their senses and gave Jericho a lackey.

Lance Cade.

He looks the part, now let's see if he has the personality for it. Who knows...it might be a nice launching point for him.

Miss ralphus..

[Gmann]

he was the best

[King Imp]

Lance Cade.

That was certainly the biggest WTF moment in recent memory. Seriously, what the fuck was that all about? Why did they need a low to midcarder to come out and get involved in main event material?

Anyway, anyone have any predictions on next week's draft? Here are a few I have.
Cena to Smackdown and/or Batista to RAW
Jeff Hardy to Smackdown and/or Matt Hardy to RAW
Mickie James to Smackdown or Natalya to RAW
Kendrick and/or London to Smackdown
Snitsky to ECW
Armando Estrada to RAW

I will say this. There better not be any movement between Smackdown and ECW since they are technically the same fucking show now. The superstars are constantly going between the two so it makes no sense to even consider them two different shows.

As for the Cena and Batista moves, even though they may seem unrealistic, both shows are in need of some change, especially Smackdown. How many friggin times can Edge wrestle Batista and the Undertaker? I don't even remember the last person aside from those three to be involved in a title match. Enough already.

[Freitag]

Miss ralphus..

he was the best

I still find it weird that he was just a truck driver for WCW, and got let go because his ego got out of control in less than 6 months.


One of the things I miss about WCW - they had some cool production values. They utilized a lot of camera shots and angles and setups that would look great in WWE; the only problem is, they used the wrong wrestlers for the cool spots.

Imagine the roof blowing off if instead of The Wall being on top of that building, it was Triple H. or instead of Glacier making that entrance, it was Edge?

I don't know, WCW's pyro in the beginning and during shows were pretty crappy. But I'll always acknowledge how great WCW looked in TNT during those years. The clarity of that channel was awesome for WCW. It was like they "HD" before High Definition was invented.

Yeah, it's not the pyro, it's the camera angles. and the setups for the camera angles.

[Fallon]

Did anybody else catch Jericho screwing up last night?

When he was standing face to face with Flair, Jericho had the mic down by his chest and said to Ric "you take the mic from me now, right?" and Ric rips it out of his hand.

Idiot.

Though I'm loving heel Jericho. Hopefully he can move on to Triple H after Night of Champions.

Heel Jericho, way gooder.

[cougarjake13]

yeh ive always been more of a fan of the heel jericho

actually i just like the heels more, i think i even started a heel vs face thread

so i guess im a heel mark

[foodcourtdruide]

Heel Jericho, way gooder.

We may have our disagreements in the Mets thread, but I can't agree more with this statement.

[conman823]

Love Heel Jericho. Also if you watch a lot of his matches over the years he is one of the loudest talkers in the ring. in almost all his matches you can see or hear him calling spots.

Well next week I will make my historic return to RAW just too watch the Draft and see who will be fresh meat for HHH and Cena.

[Chimee]

They just need to admit that ECW is the new Sunday Night Heat. Just stop pretending it's a different entity, it's just Smackdown Light that airs on Tuesday nights.

Get the guys that are already established (like Punk and Kane) out of there and let guys like Matt Sydal show of their skills, get the crowd behind them, and move them on to one of the main shows.

[Heather 8]

They just need to admit that ECW is the new Stevie Night Heat.

Indeed! :thumbup:

[xample]

How about at NOC ... let's bring back some prestige to the IC belt and have an HBK/Y2J match...

It's probably going to happen anyway, but it would be a high profile match that the IC title hasn't seen in a while

that'd be a nice match they'll prob have it but fuck it up somehow

[foodcourtdruide]

This incarnation of Jericho is so awesome. Why were they wasting time with him?

[BoondockSaint]

At least his limo didn't blow up.

[Kevin]

Oh My God they killed Vince!

[Chimee]

Oh my... oh, wait, you guys beat me to it...

[Chimee]

Hunter's panicky acting sucks.

[Gmann]

Omg Vince Is Dead.....

Again!!!

[Chimee]

It looks like they're going with a paralyzed angle.

Maybe Vince and Vicki Guerrero can get matching wheelchairs.

[BoondockSaint]

Dean Malenko's family just booked a flight out of town.

[Kevin]

Hunter's panicky acting sucks.

B... bbbut he called him by his real name!

[Fallon]

I hope the FIC finds out who did this.

[Towelie]

Guess Vince needed a way to stop bleeding his fortune.

I blame a higher power. Which will be Vince.

Him or Owen Hart.

[Chimee]

I hope the FIC finds out who did this.

:lol:

[ScottFromGA]

No comments on Melina breaking her ankle?

How about Natal....Natalyi.....The Anvil's Daughter beating the fuck out of her while she was laying injured on the ground? Am I the only one that got major douchechills from this?

[Heather 8]

What the fuck was that ending all about? Once again King Ego thinks that the show is meant to revolve around him and it isn't allowed to go on unless he is part of some stupid angle. Earth to Vince, people don't give a shit about seeing you on TV involved in angles!



Now taking bets on which Superstar will be legitimately crushed by a shoddy metal frame and force Vince to end this angle.

[King Imp]

No comments on Melina breaking her ankle?

I watched one of those backstage videos. Apparently it was just a badly twisted ankle.
It did look nasty when she hit the floor though.

[Dougie Brootal]

any mickie james pics from last night??? fallon, im looking in your direction...

[Chimee]

Now taking bets on which Superstar will be legitimately crushed by a shoddy metal frame and force Vince to end this angle.

I hope it's a midcarder that never gets TV time. I'd like to see how they put that memorial show together.

[Towelie]

Easily the best part of that show was Khali yelling at callers.

Its the most innovative thing they've done on RAW in years.

HD is definitely Mickie's friend. :wub:

[King Imp]

I just read that one year ago today (http://www.ronfez.net/forums/showthread.php?t=70700) thread and it all makes sense now.

Fucking Vince! The balls on this guy. He waited exactly a year after he had to drop his precious death angle and is now trying to pick it up again, but in another form. This guy is truly unbelievable. Heaven forbid he isn't the center of attention.

The whole idea that he had to ruin a somewhat decent show for once by ending it with that crap annoyed me, but now after realizing the date it actually disgusts me.

[TjM]

well they;re not sayin vince is dead ...





















































yet

[cougarjake13]

any chance there is a trips vs edge unification match ???

[cougarjake13]

no fucking way


cm punk cashing in the mitb

[Chimee]

YES YES YES

Finally, RAW is getting a change it is CM Punk!

[epo]

That was a very good piece of booking. They used Edge's history perfectly against him.

[NickyL0885]

wow...totally did not see that coming.....

[Chimee]

I think Vince wants a younger RAW to attract audiences. Kofi Kingston as Intercontinental champion, CM Punk as World Champion, Ted DiBiase Jr. and Cody Rhodes as tag champions.

I guess he wants to really shake things up.

[cougarjake13]

wow...totally did not see that coming.....

totally didnt see it

[Gmann]

Ok
That might have just been the coolest thing that happened on RAW in a LONG LONG time.

[Kevin]

Ok

Agreed, VERY well done.

[epo]

totally didnt see it

I was about to log in and bitch that they didn't do it!

[SpicyMcHaggis]

That was totally unexpected. I'm shocked and amazed and very proud of CM Punk's rise.

[cougarjake13]

wow just wow

great job

makes up for last weeks bullshit

[Fallon]

WWE finally did something exciting and in an awesome way.

I marked out for the first time in a while. I was saying to myself when Batista was leaving: "Vince, send CM!" and I yelled when i heard the theme.

FUN!!

[Kevin]

Thank God that awful gay spinner belt is off Raw

[Don Stugots]

I hate that fucking belt.

[Fallon]

I'm guessing Batista will probably beat CM at some point. I just hope they don't do it super soon.

They'll probably ruin it and have it in the main event tonight.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Loving Santino's new mustache. Santino is definitely what he says he is.

[Kevin]

SHUTTA YOU FACE!!

[Chimee]

Well, so much for Punk being champion.

I get the bad feeling that they're somehow going to take the belt off of him in his first defense.

[RF Godfather]

I'm still stunned. Hooray for CM Punk! Glad RAW has a time eventhough its just the SD/WCW TItle. Bravo WWE... thanks for making me mark out like I have not since Hollywood became Hulk Hogan again. ;) :clap:

Come on, you don't see John Cena "getting back into the building" to ruin JBL's night?

[Fallon]

Come on, you don't see John Cena "getting back into the building" to ruin JBL's night?

I dunno, that security looked pretty tough.

But even if he does get back in, how weak does that make Punk look?

[Kevin]

Edit: What Fallon said.

All in all, that didn't turn out too bad for Punk.

[Kevin]

All in all, that didn't turn out too bad for Punk.

Yea, coulda been worse.

[King Imp]

Said in the draft thread:
I feel bad for Punk. He at least had a shot to win the belt back in ECW when he finally cashes in that MITB contract. There is no way he wins it on RAW. Hell, I'd be surprised if they even fit him into a title match before next year's Wrestlemania with Cena, Orton, & Batista around. What's he gonna do, cash it in for the crappy IC belt?


Wow, I couldn't have been more wrong if I tried and frankly I'm glad I was. Never saw that coming at all. Finally, the writers grew a brain.

Now, do they have Edge come to RAW after he made the point of "you'll never see me here again" to start a feud with Punk? If not, I clearly see Punk holding it until Orton comes back in which time Orton will win the title and then start a feud with Cena so he can then get the belt back. Let's just hope Orton is out for a while so we can actually enjoy Punk as the champ.

[ScottFromGA]

its gonna be tough to see Orton go for the belt with Batista on RAW now. But then again, with the roster they have now, get ready for Cena vs Batista, Batista vs Cena, Cena vs Orton, Orton vs Batista, etc...

who else have they gotten besides Y2J that can legitimately carry the brand as a champ. CM Punk is cool, but he's got a lot to learn.

[foodcourtdruide]

The CM Punk MITB was PERFECTLY executed and had my wife and I screaming on our couch like two rubes. Great job.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

This is so small of an annoyance, but could somebody please just pin down those other two plates on the belt so it doesn't look like it's so old it's coming apart?

http://a763.g.akamai.net/7/763/1644/4/app.infopia.com/img/image/fp/VPID/2902987/img4/img.jpg

This is the nicest I've ever seen it look. Everything's pinned in. Nothing's loose. Sorry, small rant.

[epo]

I do like the manner in which they have elevated Punk. It seems much better and more natural than the Rey Jr or the Orton Jr elevations to the top of the card so far.

[Kevin]

Yea, agreed. Plus him being aggressive and challenging snitski helps alot too.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Is it just me or have the tech accidents that have happened so far in this show been fairly obvious? The light fixture falling and a supervisor yelling "Idiot!" and just then the limo driver running into the back out of the car. When a show that usually runs so smoothly has real life accidents like that, I never know if it's fake or not.

Then it just kinda dawned on me. The storyline is that someone is screwing with Raw. The light fixture falling must be tied into whoever tried to get Mr. McMahon. Perhaps there are other culprits on his/her list. The limo driver must have thought he had to get out earlier and decided to gun it.

[epo]

Yea, agreed. Plus him being aggressive and challenging snitski helps alot too.

It's a nice way to build the story. But they absolutely have to have him go over at the PPV and do so cleanly.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

CTC: Cryme Tyme and Cena. If that's a new stable, I can see it happening.

Earlier in the evening the camera lights fell down during the C.M. Punk interview.

I believe that they're trying to create a false sense of spontaneity to keep viewers' interest.

"Did you see that kid mock Batista before his entrance?"

Ho hum.

That's what I was expecting.

I was expectant.

I was inconsolable when it did not happen.

[King Imp]

CTC: Cryme Tyme and Cena. If that's a new stable, I can see it happening.

I thought it was for Cryme Tyme Customs as in them "customizing" the limo.
Speaking of, that segment was an accident waiting to happen. I was expecting one of them to lose their grip and throw their bat or pipe into the crowd. Shad almost did when he tried to hit the back window. Nice lawsuit that would have been if a kid got hit.


Steph looked pretty good tonight.

I was hoping the camera would have panned down a bit. I miss her twins.

Remember when we were wondering what CTC stands for? This is from WrestleZone.com:

- Thanks to WZ.com reader Dave Bollig for the following...A buddy of mine went to the Raw house show in West Virginia and Cena revealed what CTC means. Cena had a six man tag match with Cryme Time versus Cody Rhodes, Ted Dibiase, and Kane. Cena and Cryme Time get the win and Cena takes the mic after the match and says that he got Cryme Tyme to back him up because he knew they could handle themselves. He then says they have formed a faction called CTC. Then he reveals that CTC stands for Cryme Tyme - Cena Nation. He calls Cryme Tyme back into the ring and says that they have taught him and he has taught them, and tonight he is going to teach them a little about country living in West Virginia. Then he leads the arena in singing Country Roads by John Denver.

Once again, trying to give Cena some street cred, but I'm sure you'll gain ever more street cred by singing John Denver.

[Gmann]

do you have any idea how many John Denver Mix tapes there are out there ??

Thats gangsta son!!!

[Tenbatsuzen]

Remember when we were wondering what CTC stands for? This is from WrestleZone.com:

Dude, do you have any idea how big "Country Roads" is in West Virginia?

I'm not being sarcastic. It's the equivalent of "New York, New York" in Yankee Stadium.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Yeah, I know it's big...but why him? Why not another big face? If he's supposed to be street, be street.

[Fallon]

[Chimee]

No because it's Cenation... it's witty... ya...

[SpicyMcHaggis]

That was a great opening. "Please keep order." Then BOOM instant chaos. This is really fun to watch RAW in disarray...but on purpose.

Personally, I got a kick out of floating-head Steph in the beginning. They haven't acknowledged this pregnancy at all on-air, have they?

[Tenbatsuzen]

They've hardly acknowledged her MARRIAGE on air!

[Heather 8]

They've hardly acknowledged her MARRIAGE on air!

Yeah, but Aurora Rose in-utero got plenty of airtime.

[CruelCircus]

Watching on Tivo...

Can someone please, please, please post a screen cap of that closeup of Katie Lea's ample cleavage resting on Mickey's face? I'm pretty sure Katie Lea has moved ahead of Michelle McCool into my Favorite Diva slot.

Thanx in advance!

[Kevin]

Did they really just do the follow me gag, just to be followed by the i should be arrested for obviously killing a man gag?

[conman823]

:lol:
I watched it with my girl and she pointed out that "In real life" what kind of camera persons-because there was like 5 out there- wouldn't just drop the camera and move him out of the way, and call the police.
I just thought, "That old gag?"

According to several websites, Punk got squashed and pinned clean by Batista in a non-title match lasting about 2 minutes after Raw went off the air. I'm not sure what purpose something like that would serve other than to undermine your champion to about 10,000 fans....

It's so funny b/c everyone gets into the whole "wrestling is fake so wins and losses don't matter" which is such a load of crap when it comes to establishing guys. If wins and losses don't matter, then why watch the matches?

I totally agree!

I wish they'd allow Santino Marella to win a match here and there...while also providing some comic relief.

[Bob Impact]

I totally agree!

QFT, having him squashed by Beth Phoenix really didnt accomplish anything.

[Chimee]

I did find it funny that when he stopped her from Irish whipping him, he shouted "I'm a man!"

[Dash77]

I hope they let Punk carry the title for a while, I'm really getting tired of the same 3 guys always getting the belt...

[Gmann]

That had me cracking up

[conman823]

Yeah maybe Batista will let him carry it in the airport for him during transfer flights.

[ScottFromGA]

OH!! :smoke:

[epo]

Are we due for a Batista heel turn?

[Kevin]

Are we due for a Batista heel turn?

Prob not... Kane will fuck him again and he will fued with Kane while JBL.. wrestling.. AIDS... fueds with Punk.

[cougarjake13]

Are we due for a Batista heel turn?

has he ever been heel solo ???

[Kevin]

has he ever been heel solo ???

He came in as a heel, but even then,with Devon.

[cougarjake13]

He came in as a heel, but even then,with Devon.

yeh thats what im saying

he was heel with devon and heel with evolution but as far as i can remember he's been a face since the face turn against trips

unless you count that mini heel turn fued with hbk

[Kevin]

That Double FU was pretty funny.

Gotta give it to Cena, he is one strong Mofo.

[Dougie Brootal]

mickie james???



miley cyrus???

[sarsbusdriver]

Way to blow the cheap pop Batista.

It's Shane!!

[Chimee]

Word on the street is that Steph gave birth today.

[Kevin]

Who is better than Santino?

[Tenbatsuzen]

Who is better than Santino?

Kanyon?

[Kevin]

Kanyon?

Maybe.

[Sue_Bender]

Maybe.

Nope.

Santino's the best.

There's simply no argument.



Unless anyone would like to partake.

[Kevin]

That suspension sure lasted long..

[MIKEYDAKEN]

does this raw seem like a punishment to anyone else but me?

[sarsbusdriver]

What a steaming pile of $#@! that was. Especially the finish.

[Kevin]

What a steaming pile of $#@! that was. Especially the finish.

Yea, sucked balls.

[MIKEYDAKEN]

who do I send my notice to? mike adamle as new gm I quit I'm out vince can go fuck himself and his family. 22 years of loyal service and the last couple of years have let me down and now this. SEE YA:surrender:

[ScottFromGA]

totally agree.....I'm OUT.

fuck Raw....maybe Smackdown will be better, but I don't have the MyNetwork or whatever the fuck that channel is called.


worst show has gotten more worse. Adamle as GM? Are they just trying to spit in the fans face with this horseshit?

[PilotJeff]

10 bucks says that they try the "Adamle is just faking being dumb" gimmick.

[Heather 8]

What a steaming pile of $#@! that was. Especially the finish.

That was more than the proverbial fart in church. Twenty minutes later and I'm still cringing at the awfulness.

[Heather 8]

Word on the street is that Steph gave birth today.

"Stephanie McMahon-Levesque today gave birth to her second daughter, an eight pound 12 ounce baby named Murphy Claire Levesque. The birth comes one day after the 40th birthday of husband Paul Levesque."

Murphy?

Murphy?

That poor child.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

So I watched Raw tonight.

Um...seriously?

I'm not quite sure how to react. I mean at least he's not commentating. Perhaps this could actually...be a *snicker*

*BURST OUT LAUGHING*

Ok, seriously, I couldn't keep that up long. Let's see this disaster roll out shall we?

[Gmann]

so does this mean JOEY STYLES is back on ECW now ??

cause please tell me theyre not gonna give that mumble mouth motherfucker Adamle 2 spots on 2 shows ??

[Sue_Bender]

Awesome!

[Chimee]

10 bucks says that they try the "Adamle is just faking being dumb" gimmick.

That gimmick doesn't work so well when he actually is a blithering idiot.

[King Imp]

I honestly hope that when Adamle was announced as the new GM and there was absolutely no reaction from the crowd, that Vince and the creative team all buried their faces in their hands and just shook their heads in disgust that they failed yet again.

You could literally hear a pin drop in that arena when they announced that. Unbelievably pathetic!

If teenage girls would have squealed, Mike Adamle would be set to rule RAW for the next decade.




And have some sweet T-shirts to boot!

no Todd grisham is now tazz's partner in yech. we need to protest get a petition call the armed forces something to let them know that they fucked us over

[TiknoZero]

I just got done watching that pile of shit (I DVR it & watch the next day). I don't know what to say.

[Crippler]

WOW, I heard there was a big letdown at the end of the show, so I downloaded it & just got through it now. Again, WOW...the lack of reaction to the GM announcement was such a black hole of enthusiasm that no one even made a peep when Adamle announced the Batista/Cena match for PPV...a match that, at least according to John Cena earlier that night, is Mania-worthy.

Way to go Vinny Mac, how's that self-indulgent, death/crippling/whatever angle working for ya? Ooof! :help:

[cougarjake13]

so is JR back with the king on raw ??

[Gmann]

no Todd grisham is now tazz's partner in yech. we need to protest get a petition call the armed forces something to let them know that they fucked us over

!!WTF!!!!

They have the perfect opportunity to rectify the Mike Adamle ECW announcer crap and they do it with Todd Grisham ??

HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE JOEY STYLES ??

[cougarjake13]

!!WTF!!!!

They have the perfect opportunity to rectify the Mike Adamle ECW announcer crap and they do it with Todd Grisham ??

maybe he said fuck you to wwe

[MIKEYDAKEN]

maybe he said fuck you to wwe

na joey got himself a cozy office job running wwe.com. I 'm glad he has nothing to do with WWECW. fuck it I still got my tapes from the old days

[Knowledged_one]

I'm betting they bring in Larry Csonka to be Adamle's asst commish/bodyguard

[MIKEYDAKEN]

I'm betting they bring in Larry Csonka to be Adamle's asst commish/bodyguard

can't you see westlemania's main event this year fuck HHH VS. Taker I scoff at Cena vs. Batista the only thing worthy of 60 dollars is Mike Adamle vs. Hulk Hogan in a cage match to settle once and for all who is the best American gladiators announcer that will take credit for killing wrestling.:wallbash:

With a run in by Nitro to help Adamle

I think i might mess my shorts if that happened

[MIKEYDAKEN]

the hulkster would never agree to that

[epo]

I'll give CM Punk & Jericho credit, they made a three-way match with wrestling death (JBL) into a pretty good match.

[Kevin]

Anybody else see Bret Favre when they see Shawn Michaels?

Old has been,two faced douchebags and refuses to let the young guys have their time?

Both should retire.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Is it just me or does that big WWE symbol on stage and the entrance area change sides week by week?

Shawn's creepy, roaming left eye makes any close-up uncomfortable.

Why pretend the problem eye is on the right.


It's obvious.

Bu, but, HE IS A SEXY BOY!

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Aww man. I liked Rhodes and DiBiase. All this does is make the tag titles unimportant because they're not even going to be defended against a tag team.

[Sue_Bender]

Aww man. I liked Rhodes and DiBiase. All this does is make the tag titles unimportant because they're not even going to be defended against a tag team.


They've overused the"enemies become tag champs" TOO MANY times.

Michaels/Austin, Big Show/Kane... (that's all I can recall but they're are far too many more).

Here's a game: Name 'em!




Lovely fuckers.

[epo]

Benoit/Angle

[Sue_Bender]

Benoit/Angle


Please, no Benoit mentions, epo.




Good job, Sir.

[Chimee]

The other time Cena held the tag titles was with Shawn Michaels while they were in a feud.

[ponelas park townie]

Benoit/Jericho
Austin/Undertaker
Cena/Michaels

hmm...
Jericho/Chyna (IC)?

um...
Rico/Rikishi

[Gmann]

Rock/Mankind

Austin/Mankind

Taker/Rock

[ScottFromGA]

i figured that Cena/Batista were gonna win the belts...one reason why I didn't pay attention to it and changed the channel.


once again, the younger guys trying to make a name for themselves are cast aside again to futher the "Superstars" fued. The story is getting lamer by the week, when will they understand that they need a tag team division to keep it interesting.


I long for the days of the New Age Outlaws vs Chainsaw Charlie and Cactus Jack.....

[ScottFromGA]

on a side note.....next week, I wanna see Adamle come out in one of those cage/ball rolling things from American Gladiators.



Rollerball....Powerball? what was the name of that competition.......?:blink:

Strike Force was silly with Chico Santana and Tom Zenk

Monsoon: "WILL YOU STOP?!"

Ah the good ol'days

[Heather 8]

Strike Force was silly with Chico Santana and Tom Zenk


Is it less silly that it was Rick Martel, not Tom Zenk? Martel & Zenk were the Can-Am Connection; Santana & Martel were Strike Force.

[MIKEYDAKEN]

anyone find it funny santino's first win in a while is to mickie james can't they just make him a manager or future endeavor his ass

[cougarjake13]
