Yep pretty much. Franchise was right Rey was just playing his cards right and even though fans were upset that Rey wouldn't put him over, and I was too because Dolph was going to be a star and could have kicked off the youth movement sooner if Dolph was allowed to go over on Rey. I still don't like Rey for the fact he injures Taker, gets his spot and wins the WHC, Rey was AWARDED for injuring Undertaker.

His award still pisses me off,and his other reign was a charity for Eddie.

Oh so in a way Tajiri and Funaki were ambassadors when WWE went to Korea, Japan, China

Just Japan because they're Japanese. There haven't been any wrestlers of Chinese descent as of late that I know of, and I think Jimmy Wang Yang was Korean.

[FlaccoFlicker]

Closest to Chinese was Savahnah she's Canadian but had Chinese Ancestors.

Savannah could've had potential as a ring announcer if they really wanted to use her that way. They just used ring announcing as an excuse to get her on TV.

He's getting old, you can't fault the man for being senile.

Edge vs Barrett might be a good match

[JO_75]

Edge vs Barrett might be a good match

It was a good match for the time it had, could have been better if given more time but it was good for what it needed to do, build for Summer Slam. Though I will say, matches now just end all of a sudden without a bell ringing? Ok Vince, if anything Edge should have been counted out and Barrett wins by count out.

Edge Quit!!!!!!!

Cena vs Jericho, loser Quits Team WWE!!!!

Down to 6... and why is it I get the feeling Khali will join Nexus?

[FlaccoFlicker]

its funny i read the recap(spoilers) last week but kind of forgot it all lol.Glad to see Melina back tho she's very easy on the eyes,but did she steal Mickie James' wardrobe?

Yeah but the thing about spoilers, is that even though it may look dull on paper or a website the show may be better on TV than what the Spoilers indicate. I was wondering that too FF, and btw it's a shame WWE let Mickie go they had no good divas on the roster with the exception of Beth and Melina.

I hope WWE brings Mickie James back and pulls a wool over TNA and brings in Awesome Kong, now that would be a good move for the WWE!

[JO_75]

Chris Jericho vs John Cena.... loser Quits Team WWE!!! Edge has already quit getting team WWE down to 6, now who will leave to make it 5?

I would get into plans that I'd have for rebuilding WWE, but I'm too tired to go through all that.

Needless to say, revamping the women's division would surprisingly be one of my top priorities. There was a lot of potential there before Lita and Trish both retired.

[FlaccoFlicker]

That was a pretty good match actually between Cena and Jericho.For his type of wrestling(entertaning) Cena has made tremendous strides.He isn't my favorite by any means but I have gained respect for him.

Yeah that certainly would be my top priority if I ever had the chance to run the WWE for a day. First thing I would do is bring back Mickie James, bring in Awesome Kong, and take every Diva who can't wrestle on the roster and have them train more and together to help their wrestling technique and get a good chemistry between each other so there can be more good divas matches, even if they only get 2 minutes of TV time.

So now Jericho is off team WWE, and now there were 5. Jericho & Edge quickly formed a pact and are now tag teaming again, interesting. Ok Michael Cole how come you have to always say 'Excuse Me, I just got an email from the GM."... hey Cole I think by now we know that the beep and the lights flickering means you got an Email from the GM, stop telling us what we know.

Jericho/Edge vs Cena/Hart? Quite Interesting.

[FlaccoFlicker]

this week it will be team WWE falling apart next week they will all come together when Cena is getting beat down or something!

Oh look a John Cena movie

[FlaccoFlicker]

what is Grat about Khali then maybe his BO?

[JO_75]

Oh look a John Cena movie

Yep another Cena movie, I have seen the Marine, seen 12 Rounds and Legendary looks like a good movie. I'm a sucker for movies with WWE stars, I'll see them no matter how bad it looks. I have seen all The Rock's movies except Gameplan, I even saw the movie with Mr. Kennedy in it. The only ones I haven't were The Condemned with Austin and I am waiting for Ted Dibiase's movie The Marine 2 to go on discount and buy it.

I'm just glad Maryse didn't getting kid napped by Nexus... I thought for sure they would have tried to kid nap her. I'm really thinking that it is too predictable now that Khali will defect over to Nexus, and either they do it next week or at Summer Slam, but I'm still hoping that a Cena heel turn happens at Summer Slam or Triple H heel turn happens as he defects to Nexus to be the main leader of Nexus.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get Use to the Miz main eventing Raw... this is only the beginning.

Edited August 3, 2010 by JO_75

[theFRANCHISE]

At first, I thought I'd be happy enough with a Triple H heel turn. But nope, a Cena heel turn needs to happen. If it doesn't happen, I'll be disappointed with this angle, even if Triple H returns.

[FlaccoFlicker]

I think we saw a possible Wrestlemania Main Event tonight.Miz vs Orton has all the makings to be an awesome(no pun intended) feud.Have Miz win the Rumble use it for the World Title and Unify the belts lol.

Raw was pretty decent,three good matches one to start,one in the middle,and one in the end.I love how they are making the RKO become that quicker then a hiccup move that will hit from anywhere,like tonight it came out of nowhere.

2 weeks til Summerslam but my focus is on Sunday's Hardcore Justice.You can't censor me Vince.ECW ECW ECW!

[JO_75]

That was a lack luster ending to Raw. Next week should be good as Team WWE is falling apart and Orton and Sheamus continue on the road to Summer Slam.

Yeah a Cena heel turn needs to happen, but with his team falling apart why would he defect now or even at Summer Slam? Plus Vince is smart, he knows Cena equals $$$$. Why would he risk a Cena heel turn now and not wait to do it later when the timing is more right.

[Wacko4Zacko]

Cena & Hart vs. Y2J&Edge.

NeXuS will interfere and attack all 4 and then Edge and Jericho will realize they will need to rejoin Team Cena.

If not then Evan Bourne, Ted DiBiase and/or Mark Henry are likely to replace Edge and Jericho.

[BloodRaven]

Theres no way they would turn Cena, WWE caters to the kids and the cashflow, not the smarks.

OT: Honestly I think Husky Harris and Alex Riley are absolute naturals.

I think there are going to be 2 surprise replacements for them. Ya' know, 2 superstars that haven't seen the ring in a long time in the WWE....

You cant throw a jobber like Mark Henry in the SS Main event (if it is). Its going to be some big names filling in for them!

Think of the ratings, though. WWE would bring in an even larger audience while still keeping the kids with guys like Rey Mysterio, Triple H, and Randy Orton as the top faces. Though Cena is the biggest cash-cow, his fans are getting older and will eventually get sick of him. He needs to refresh his character, and what better way than to add an edge?

If they stay the course with Cena, they'll make money in the short-term but these kids will continue to age and out-grow him. If they switch things up, they might lose some kids, but they'll gain back some of the older audience they've lost who are able to directly support the company financially.

Well yeah I think that makes sense, and considering the big names left I'll say Triple H may be one of them, but I still think there is a chance he could go heel and help Nexus win. Could one of them possibly be..... drum roll please..... Bryan Danielson!!! If anything they may go to the SD Roster and whatever big name and get Christian and Matt Hardy to be the 2 replacements.

In other WWE news, former WWE wrestler Batista has a new project called "Batista vs. Cancer," a new initiative geared towards raising cancer awareness.

The accompanying video to the project was not what I expected at all for a former pro wrestler. It was very sweet and very sentimental with lots of humor sprinkled in. I just about cried during some of the more tender moments, especially when he was with his ex-wife. Cancer is something that's hurt my family in the past and has reared its ugly head once again, so I was really touched by how genuine the video was.

Great find Franny,this really speaks volumes about who Batista is as a person.

[AwakenTheDemon]

Not a particularly exciting Raw... aside from one moment:

Man I missed Melina, my second favorite (more like co-favorite) Diva after Maryse

[theFRANCHISE]

Best part is, Melina can actually wrestle! Looking forward to her match with Alicia Fox. I always thought Alicia's in-ring skills were underrated, largely because her matches (even on PPV) have been so short or against opponents that couldn't keep up with her. She and Melina should have a good first encounter.
