WWE Monday Night Raw Discussion: Kane v. John Cena

Written by Lex on Monday, December 1st, 2008 in Live Discussion, Raw, WWE.

Rapppppppaddddooo!

John Cena! John Cena! John Cena!

He’s wrestling Kane tonight.

Also on Raw, we’ve got more IC Title tournament hijinks: John Morrison will face off against Finlay and The Miz will take on Rey Mysterio. I think there’s also some sort of Divas match, but who really cares.

VOTD: RAW match of the year

Written by jsnwwf on Saturday, October 25th, 2008 in Raw, Video, WWE.

Tonight’s Raw marks WWE’s last chance to hit the “reset” button before the annual crapfest known as Cyber Sunday. Raw has been unwatchable for weeks, so let’s hope they give forth a good effort tonight.

I can’t seem to find any actual matches announced for Raw tonight, so who knows what they’ll come up with. Feel free to try and predict the main event for tonight’ show. I’ll guess Chris Jericho and Kane v. Rey Mysterio and Batista.

In other Raw news, the November 3 edition of Raw has been confirmed by WWE to be a three-hour show. The way the booking has been going, they might want to make the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay watch that edition of Raw–they’d be talking after thirty minutes. I guarantee you it would be way more effective torture than lame waterboarding.

In a press release to the Tampa media, WWE promoted the following matches for that night’s Raw:

The two big main event matches will be WWE World Heavyweight Championship Cage Match fights featuring Chris Jericho vs. Batista and DX vs. The Miz and John Morrison!

Normally I wouldn’t mind the cage match, but didn’t we just see Chris Jericho wrestle for the title in a cage against C.M. Punk? It seems like the bookers in the WWE have become fixated on cage matches and triple-threat matches. How about something new? And by new I definately don’t mean another freaking DX reuinion. One night only folks, we swear! UGH.

How to end this Kane/Rey storyline, or at least make it better

With or without the Mask?

Here is my idea.

Make Mike Ademle, a tweener GM come up with a match/decision that will satisfy both parties. On one side there is Kane, a monster who for some reason feels like Rey is hiding behind his mask and wants it off. On the other side you have Rey who wants retribution for what Kane “did” to him. Here is my idea. You have a backstage segment in Adamle’s office with some one like Randy Orton, JBL, or Jericho complaining about something[not relevant to this blog post]. Once he leaves the room, have Rey Mysterio come in and say that he needs to talk to Adamle. Fade to black. We go to a commercial break and noone knows what was discussed in the room. Later on, preferably the last segment of the show, have Adamle come out and make a huge announcement for Survivor Series. Kane vs Rey Mysterio. If Kane wins then Rey takes off his mask and has to stay unmasked for the rest of his career, but if Kane loses then he has to put his mask back on.

As to how to fill the gap from now to Survivor Series? Let the writers figure that one out.

Whether or not Adamle can make Kane do anything he didnt want to is another subject for another day.

Feedback?

Countdown To Wrestlemania 24: Wrestlemania 22

Written by sideshowraheem on Thursday, March 27th, 2008 in Uncategorized.

Tickets sold out in under two minutes for Wrestlemania 22 in Chicago, Illinois. Wrestlemania 22 marked the first Wrestlemania not to feature the winner of the Royal Rumble in the final match of the night since Wrestlemania XV in 1999. CM Punk made his Wrestlemania debut as one of the “gangsters” in John Cena entrance. Bobby Lashley also made his Wrestlemania debut in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match.

The World Heavyweight Championship match was a triple treat that featured Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton and the champion Kurt Angle. This was Randy Orton’s first time competing in the main event at Wrestlemania. The match at just 9 minutes and 18 seconds was the shortest for a world championship in Wrestlemania history. Rey Mysterio pinned Randy Orton for the victory giving him his first World Heavyweight Championship.  Mysterio at only 5′8 and 165lbs would go down in history as the smallest World Heavyweight Champion in history. Because the pin fall was scored on Randy Orton this made the third time Kurt Angle would lose a championship at Wrestlemania without submitting or being pinned.

In the WWE Championship match Triple H faced off against the champion John Cena although Cena was being booked as a babyface the majority of the capacity crowd was against the WWE Champion. After 22 minutes and 2 second Cena forced Triple H to submit with the STFU. This was the second time Triple H would tap out in the main event at a Wrestlemania the previous time being against Chris Benoit at Wrestlemania XX.
