Action-Packed Raw Solidifies Wrestlemania Main Events
After much speculation, rumored cards, and plot twists last nights Raw finally answered the biggest questions on everybodys minds: What are the Wrestlemania main events going to be. Our first answer was delivered at the begining of the show when Undertaker decided he would face Batista for the World Heavyweight Title at Wrestlemania. With John Cena without a match Shawn Michaels, Edge, and Randy Orton all stepped up to challenge the Champ at the PPV on April 1st.
Mr. McMahon then stepped in to resolve the issue setting up a triple threat match main event later in the evening between the …read more
SmackDown Recap
Last nights SmackDown was the first since the Royal Rumble last Sunday meaning that there was lots of unresolved business including what matches would be set up for No Way Out. Well SmackDown answered some questions and set up matches that will probably answer others.
This weeks SmackDown was live as opposed to the typical Tuesday tapings. This meant no leaks of twists or anything of that nature. As far as matches went Chris Benoit, the U.S. Champion, retained his title against Finlay. Deuce and Domino defeated Paul London and Brian Kendrick, the current Tag Champs, in a non-title match. The …read more
Cena and Michaels Become Tag Team Champs
Raw last night was off the wall. They did a great job setting up some new storylines (finally) and I can’t look forward to the next few weeks as more and more becomes known about wrestlemania.
First of all lets get to the non-wrestling action of the show. As I said before hand last night was Mr. McMahon fan appreciation night and to commemorate to occasion he autographed his picture from the cover of Muscle and Fitness magazine. Donald Trump then appeared on the screen of the arena to declare that Vince wasn’t giving fans what they wanted, value in the form …read more
Bloody Shawn Michaels Takes Down Rated-RKO
Shawn Michaels came to Raw with revenge on his mind. He left Raw bloodied after exacting his revenge over two of the most hated WWE wrestlers: Edge and Randy Orton.
The action for the nights main event started early in the broadcast when Rated-RKO used “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan as an example first beating him up backstage then performing the con-chair-to on him infront of thousands of fans. Ric Flair responded by giving Shawn Michaels his support and backup. Rated-RKO’s response: another beat down, this time with Flair on the recieving end.
An obviously furious Michaels delivered sweet chin music to Todd Grisham …read more
Raw Preview…Sort of
Well this weeks WWE Raw preview may just be the vaguest to come out of WWE ever, that is short of them not telling us anything. Here is what we do know. Expect more Cena/Umaga rivalry this week. I mean even WWE is hinting that it may be reaching an end and I can only hope so since a new storyline is always welcome. The only match that war announced (and has been for a week) is the 2-on-1 handicap match between Rated-RKO and Shawn Michaels.
As much as I hoped the Ric Flair and Kenny Dyksta storyline was done WWE …read more
Triple-H’s Surgery a Success
Triple-H’s surgery today confirmed the earlier diagnosis of a completely torn quadriceps tendon. WWE.com has a story stating the tendon was completely torn off of his bone and right knee. Dr. Andrews stated all went well with the surgery and that there were no complications.
With the injury set so sideline the Game for 4-6 weeks it will be interesting to watch and see just how WWE integrates this into RAW. I would expect them to either a) keep the DX storylines going without Triple H or b) suspend the DX pairing and have Shawn Michaels wrestle singles and in his …read more
Umaga Takes Out Anger On Cena
John Cena opened up RAW last night adressing just how tough Umaga was but that his win was not a ‘fluke’ as Umaga’s manager Armando Estrada had indicated. Cena indicated he was willing to challenge Umaga again for the championship on RAW until Johnathan Coachman appeared to announce RAW’s newest member, the Great Khali.
So it appears the rumors were true and Khali has indeed moved to RAW. Coachmen stated he was giving Umaga the night off because of his hard work at NYR and that Cena would face the Great Khali in a non-title match instead.
The match was bad for …read more
Monday Night RAW Preview
All WWE.com is reporting for tonight’s match is that ‘Donald Trump’ will be facing ‘Rosie O’Donnell’. Now we all know that this will be impersonators doing the actual action but this just seems so…dumb. Maybe WWE can prove me wrong on this one but I really don’t like the impersonator stories, especially when they are the only thing being hyped about tonight’s show.
ProWrestling.com has some other unconfirmed previews for tonights show as well. Here is what they are saying:
“Jeff Hardy will put his Intercontinental Title on the line on tonight’s show against Kenny Dykstra.
The Great Khali is expected to make …read more
Triple-H To Be Out 4-6 Months

Dr. Ferdinand Rios stated he expects the game to need 4-6 months to rehab the injury. How will the WWE cope with the injury of one of DX’s two members? Tonight’s RAW should provide us some answers.
Triple-H Injury Update
As we reported last night, Tripe-H was injured during his match with Reated-RKO at New Year’s Revolution. WWE.com is reporting he has a possible quadriceps tear. News coming out of the arena last night indicated a knee or some other leg injury so this is in line with earlier reports. ‘The Game’ is going to be flown to Birmingham, Alabama today to be examined further by Dr. James Andrews to determine the extent of the injury and how long he way be out of action.
