august 17 raw commentary

[vegas vinn]

- Freddie sounds a little nervous, but he was very enthusiastic.

- You can tell that the WWE locker room really gets a kick out of Santino. They always laugh when he's in action, hence Lillian somewhat laughing during his "24" act.

- That modified "neck breaker" on Freddie will get Orton some heat. Anyone hear that screaching little kid in the stands yelling 'GET UP FREDDIE!!!'

[TheLegendKiller]

ehhhhhh boy orton is god... got to love the rko chants against freddie

[vegas vinn]

- Anyone else think Rosa Mendez looks like a tranny?

- If Kofi can survive two ppv's with multiple opponents, and then has to drop the title to Carlito in a regular match? If that happens... That's not cool!

[vegas vinn]

- I love that move when Kofi gets thrown into the turnbuckle, and quickly goes halfway outside the ring. I don't know how he does it that quick!

- That Kofi/Carlito match was actually pretty good! If Carlito can work a match like that, he deserves a push!

- Anyone else tired of DX? I think Miz and Morrison put it best when they said "Are you 50?"

[TheLegendKiller]

She looks like someone on the corner...I thought she looked like Beyonce, then I put on my glasses.
-S-Truth out

[vegas vinn]

- Wow, that reverse dropkick, or should I said fade dropkick from evan bourne off the top rope... Pretty impressive!

- Bourne pulls off his moves like its so simple. His hurricarana was smoothest I've seen in a while.

- I don't like matches where one person (Bourne) owns his opponent pretty much the whole match, then the opponent just pulls off his finisher and wins (Miz)

[vegas vinn]

- Can they milk DX to the last drop tonight? What a filler episode1

- Two things i noticed about the DX skit in the cafeteria. 1) I thought using Shawn Michael's real name when the manager yells "Hickenbottom (Michael Shawn Hickenbottom) was hysterical. 2) Raw is suppose to be PG-13. So you're telling me John Cena can't call his move the STFU, but Shawn Michaels can kick a little girl in the face?

[Bekirk302]

I also share your view on DX...please just let it die. I always thought DX without Shawn Michaels was so much better.

[vegas vinn]

Yeah I agree. Not a big fan of X-pac, but the road dogg and Mr. Ass were the shit. I loved their intro music... O YOU DIDN'T KNOOOOW?

[vegas vinn]

- Well it looks like Legacy "is ready" for DX. But we all know that DX will not lose at Summerslam, otherwise Shawn wouldn't have come back.

[Bekirk302]

I think Shawn will only have hair for about another three weeks then its falling out.

[vegas vinn]

- I'm surprised they are airing Wrestlemania 25 for free on NBC Aug 29th. I dont think they ever aired a PPV on tv (other than the wwe channel- not sure if they did or not, but I assume they did show old ones).

- I have to get to 7-11 to COLLECT ALL 6 CUPS1

- Calling it right now, Gail Kim wins the title tonight.

[vegas vinn]

- If your a true fan of wrestling, you should be a fan of Gail Kim, she's very athletic and high flying.

- I dont understand what happened with the ending on that match. I ran it back a couple times. for speculation, it looks like when Gail dived off the top with the missed dive, she may have landed on her head. Looks like she may have had a concussion, because when Micky was ready to do her move (DDT?), gail completely botched the move (the announcers said she countered it).

[Bekirk302]

I was thinking the same thing about the Gail Kim/ Micky James match...She definately got hurt in that match. Micky James gained a ton of weight. They didnt even look like they were close to being in the same weight class.

[vegas vinn]

Actually, I think she's been that weight for a couple weeks now. Maybe it was the outfit? Who knows.

[Bekirk302]

Are you saying she was wearing a fat suit?

[vegas vinn]

Are you saying she was wearing a fat suit?

haha, yes, thats what I'm sayin!

[vegas vinn]

- Quick MVP/Swagger match. This is bittersweet, because I wanted to see swagger wrestle, but if that means MVP doesn't, thats fine with me.

- Looks like Freddie is risking his shoulder just to go up against orton. I dont know what the point was for him being guest GM. He didnt do anything.

- Great... Yet again another hornswaggle/chavo match. Someone shoot me in the head.

- I think the fans pretty much summed this up "LETS GO BLUES!"

- McCauly Caulkin!?!?! WTF! haha

Its this best out of 15 with hornswaggle and chavo?

[vegas vinn]

Its this best out of 15 with hornswaggle and chavo?

yeah seriously, this shit needs to end.

[vegas vinn]

- Money Mayweather is next week's guest GM. The Big Show now has had 2 feuds with guest GM's, the other being Shaq.

- Freddie really said with such carnage that this match will be a LUMBERJACK MATCH! He must have been saving up his energy for that moment.

[S Truth]

Such anger from Freddie!!! He's one of my faves so far, didnt take up much camera time, & the diva match was solid, until whatever happened at the end.

[vegas vinn]

Yeah Freddie didn't do too bad for the little time he was on.

[vegas vinn]

- I didnt even know Jamie Noble was still in the wwe, let alone on the Raw brand. He's on the outside as a lumberjack.

- Anyone see the Big Show's sweat drop all over Orton when he had him in that submission move! NASTY!

- And did everyone see Colonel Sanders in the front row? Right behind Cena (while he's waiting to be tagged).

- When the Big Show took that cutter move from Cena right after the failed choke slam attempt, he looked like he came down to fast, and hit that rope pretty quickly. Looks like it didn't phase him though.

[S Truth]

He does that alot... sweat or slobber.

[S Truth]

I dont see Noble. Evan Borne?

[Bekirk302]

No its Jamie Noble. They should send him to Smackdown with the smaller guys, like the hurricane

[S Truth]

I see both now. Good eye Vinn

[vegas vinn]

It was Noble, trust me. He was at ringside, the opposite end of the titantron side.

In my opinion, raw was pretty uneventful. The best match of the night by far was the kofi/carlito match. The Kim/Micky match wasnt bad (other than the botched ending), and the Miz/Bourne wasn't bad either (although there could have been more potential). And the MVP/Swagger match was just to build heated animosity between the two for their match at summerfest... I mean summerslam. Tell me your thought's about tonight! Otherwise, seeya next week!

[S Truth]

I think I agree, Legacy is starting to look even more like Orton, if that's possible. Is DX supposed to be a comedy routine this time around? WE should have a Summerfest/slam party!!!!!!!!! I loved Mickie Jame's old outfits, she looks uncomfortably bigger in these new ones. Freddie was def my fave so far.

[Jimmerz]

"OH MY GOD!! DAMN HIM!! DAMN HIM TO HELL!"
