I fancy Shane O'Mac to be back soon as part of this ;)

I reckon this could be on the money, as I think Vince would be a bit obvious, Shane bein' disgruntled at HHH getting the reigns.

Or a wee bit more out there but Steph undermining him for some bizarre reason, not that I can think o one at the minute.

I hope to god they don't run with a program with Henry/Show for the title

Why not? If Big Show comes back on a tear that could be a cracking feud (as long as Henry doesn't shite it from him and run away at every opportunity). Put them in a Last Man Standing match or something and let them knock lumps out of each other and you'd have a decent match as well.

Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero - WWE Vengeance 2003

I tend to think that matches with these two are over-rated, and this is probably the most praised match of them all. The referee tells them to shake hands and they're having none of that. The fans are hyped for this one. Eddie right into the ropes and Benoit isn't happy. Lockup and into the corner and Eddie uses the ropes to back Benoit off for a second time. "Eddie Sucks!" chant breaks out from the audience. Lockup and Eddie to the Hammerlock and then he takes down Benoit with it. Benoit with a BIG takedown and Eddie gets to the floor. Lockup and Eddie goes to the Arm Ringer. Benoit rolls through and goes to a Full Nelson and then tries the takedown. Eddie with a takedown of his own and then he goes to the Headlock. Eddie then charges down Benoit and the fans aren't liking that. They now go to lock hands and Benoit gets the better of that but they wind up back at a stalemate. Benoit then has the hands locked again and kicks to the leg and then he rolls through and gets taken down. Overhead Wristlock from Eddie and Benoit tries to take some of the leverage off of the move. Kick to the gut from Eddie and then some chops. Rana from Eddie and then he rolls through and we have a series of two counts.

Eddie avoids a Suplex and goes back to the Headlock Takedown and Side Headlock. Benoit comes back with the Shoulder Breaker. THE CRIPPLER CROSSFACE !!! Eddie finds the bottom rope before any real damage can be done. Kick to the chest from Benoit. THE SUICIDE DIVE FROM BENOIT !!! Back into the ring now and shoulder first into the top buckle and then a Body Slam from Benoit. Second Body Slam from Benoit and he is hitting him hard with those and then he locks in a Half Nelson. Benoit hits the breaks and tries to roll up Eddie but then opts to chop him down. Benoit runs right into the back elbow and that will change the momentum and Eddie sets Benoit on top.

EDDIE FINDS THE BOTTOM ROPE !!! Backbreaker gets a two count for Benoit and I wonder if that's a build to the Sharpshooter. Eddie avoids a second one of them. THE THREE AMIGOS !!! Eddie sets Benoit on the top rope for the third. TOP ROPE SUPERPLEX TO END THE THREE AMIGOS !!! He is now heading for the top rope. THE FROG SPLASH FROM EDDIE ... MISSES !!! Back to the feet they now go. WILD BOMB FROM BENOIT !!! ONE ! TWO ! THR ... KICKOUT !!! THE CRIPPLER CROSSFACE AGAIN FROM BENOIT !!! EDDIE FINDS THE BOTTOM ROPE !!! We have a ref bump and that was deliberate from Eddie and he goes and grabs the belt at ringside. BELT SHOT TO THE HEAD FROM EDDIE !!! EDDIE WITH THE FROG SPLASH !!! ONE ! TWO ! THRE ... KICKOOOUUUTTTT !!! Eddie heads back to the floor and grabs the title belt again and heads into the ring and hits the ref with it. Eddie is then pretending that Benoit hit him but realises that the referee is out. :lol: Cracking stuff from Eddie here. BENOIT GOES BACK TO THE CRIPPLER CROSSFACE !!! Release German Suplex from Benoit and then he heads for the top rope. THE FLYING HEADBUTT FROM BENOIT ... HITS THE REFEREE !!! :lol: THE GORE FROM RHYNO TO BENOIT !!! Eddie didn't have a clue about that. He recovers though and heads up. THE FROG SPLASH FROM EDDIE !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!!

Unlike their 2002 PPV match, the crowd were into everything that these two guys were doing. Even the headlockery from Eddie was over. I think the better pacing helped the match along. I didn't get why Benoit started working the arm and then forgot about it. The chemistry between these two is always off but they really pulled something out of the hat here thanks to the pure effort and intensity of it. Even the ref bump helped thanks to the drama, and Eddie Guerrero's antics. ****1/2

THE COAST TO COAST WITH THE STEPS FROM SHANE !!! There's nobody to make the count here though and both men are down.

The comeback of Shane at the latter stages of the match is great to watch. Not sure if the final spot was better than the Backlash one. That sort of one doesn't quite work on repeat viewings but it's still great to watch. **

I reckon this could be on the money, as I think Vince would be a bit obvious, Shane bein' disgruntled at HHH getting the reigns.

Or a wee bit more out there but Steph undermining him for some bizarre reason, not that I can think o one at the minute.

When Beth Phoenix started talking, I thought it was Steph and got a bit excited thinking she was coming down ph34r.gif

Hmmm. End to RAW was without doubt interesting but I don't really see where they go from here on SD and next week's RAW.

Also, the next PPV is only 3 weeks away? That'll be 3 PPVs in very quick succession!

Apparently after the broadcast ended, Ryder came back to the ring announcing that he'd changed his mind about walking out. Triple H then pedigreed him for his trouble.

Weird.

I watched RAW last night, thought it was meh!.

What I really REALLY can't understand is how a complete haddie like Otunga was around the main event scene, how he gets camera time on most RAW's, how he can leave WWE saying he was a tag team champion, how he gets more of a look in than other ex members of the Nexus and then you look at a guy like Drew McIntyre who doesn't put a foot wrong in the ring, doesn't even get a sniff in at anything. I mean last night, RAW starts with Orton's music and he comes down the ring and McIntyre is already there, not even an intro for him on TV, I understand they have Orton for the pop but it's still sh!t, I also might add that McIntyre comes back on RAW and is fantastic in his match with Orton.

It really annoys me :angry: , McIntyre should be will up the ladder!.

There are others that should be higher up the ladder than Drew McIntyre. Many of them actually got sacked. David Otunga however has slotted into his new role pretty nicely. Quite why you decided to single him out is bizarre. Of course, why you singled DREW out is fairly obvious.

Considering what they have done with McIntyre recently (nothing really), Id say a match with Orton on the main show is pretty good going for him just now. And while it was pretty obvious he was never going to get the win, he was made to look good in the process. As for Otunga, I have never been a fan of him but he also looked decent on RAW. There are other ex members of the Nexus that are just as bad, if not worse than Otunga.

There's been a couple of times this year when they've seemingly reminded us he's there. I think they want to do something but they're not entirely sure what.

I singled out Otunga because he's fucking dung, I'm not sure what is so bizarre about that :blink: .

What makes it bizarre to me is that he is getting singled out when he's actually got a decent role to fill, and is playing it quite well. While you have guys like Sin Cara, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal and Ted Dibiase all in regular roles on Smackdown and McIntyre could easily have stayed there.

Drew McIntyre is lucky to get a look in on RAW because since two weeks ago when Otunga took up that role, there isn't a single person who's on that show who I'd drop in favour of him. That's not a slight on Drew McIntyre. That's a testament to the quality of the roster that we see on these RAW supershows at the minute.

- As noted before, CM Punk is scheduled to feud with WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio for the next few WWE pay-per-views and the company is getting ready to go “full blown” with his push after being surprised by recent merchandise numbers.

There has been a lot of talk that Punk will win the WWE Title in late 2011 or early 2012 and carry it into WrestleMania 28.

WWE officials do not want the WWE Title to be a part of John Cena and The Rock’s match at WrestleMania.
