•Hosted by: Michael Cole & Jerry Lawler
•Live from: Albany, New York
•Reported by: Adam Silver

•As Raw is War begins, Austin is shown walking into the arena while eyeing a Coors Light Truck. The driver walks out and asks Austin for his autograph, but Austin says he is busy and instead will get the driver a seat inside.

•Vince McMahon/Shane McMahon/The Rock Interview.
-Vince comes down with Shane and the Rock to a chant of mostly boo's. McMahon says that he is honored to stand between two champions and quickly gives the microphone to Shane who challenges X-Pac to a Greenwich street fight tonight because he can't wait until WrestleMania XV. Vince then takes the microphone back and says that the Undertaker and Austin are conspiring together in order to prevent McMahon from concentrating on Austin loosing the belt. He then hands the microphone over to the Rock who does a little pop for his WrestleMania XV match against Steve Austin who is watching the interview on the back on television. This brings Austin away from the television and outside the arena as the Rock continues his rants on Austin. As the "asshole" chants begin, McMahon says that Austin's match against Paul Wight tonight will have a special guest referee of The Rock. This brings Mankind's music on and Mankind to the Titantron area.

•Mankind/Corporation Confrontation.
-Mankind says he is the best referee there is, was, and ever will be (mimicking Bret Hart) and suggests that he face the Rock and the winner is the special referee for the Austin/Wight match tonight. McMahon declines, but he asks the Rock instead. The Rock tells Foley to kiss his ass. Instead, Foley explains that he went to Shawn Michaels in San Antonio, Texas and got him to sign a contract saying that Mankind and the Rock WILL wrestle tonight, and the winner will be the special guest referee tonight. McMahon and the Rock say a few words as McMahon gets ready to show a preview of the Greenwich street fight tonight.

•Steve Austin/The Rock Confrontation.
-As soon as McMahon is about to roll the footage, he rolls into the ring directly under the Titantron with a Coors Light Truck and brings it to the ring. He jumps on top of the truck as the McMahons (and the Rock) go nuts in the ring. Some way he gets a microphone and hypes up the WrestleMania XV match more. Austin says he is going to have a pre-match beer as the Rock gets a microphone and threatens Austin some more. He quickly takes out a hose from the truck and gives the McMahons and the Rock a tremendous beer bath in the middle of the ring. The ring becomes soaked with beer as the McMahons slip from it and Austin climbs back on top of the truck. Austin then celebrates with a few beers on top of the truck as everybody yells at him.

•Debra is shown in the back getting dressed as we are told the Tag Team Championships are on the line next.

•Jeff Jarrett/Owen Hart versus Edge/Gangrel
*Tag Team Championships*
-As Gangrel distracts the referee, Christian comes in to help Edge with a maneuver. Edge then switches out to the outside of the ring as Christian takes his place for a pin. The pin is missed as Christian begins to dominate the match and Gangrel distracts the referee again. This makes Edge come back in the ring as does Gangrel for a four man brawl. Public Enemy then runs down to the ring for a brawl of their own, but both teams quickly throw the P.E. out as the lights go off and the Brood's music begins. When the lights come back on, Debra has recieved a blood bath as her team comes out to help her to the back.

•We are told that Jim Ross is being honored at a TKE Frat Party called "JR is War" to raise money, we see him with Dr. Death saying they are going to raise some money.

•New Age Outlaws Interview.
-Both men, on WWF.com, discuss their Title v. Title match saying it will not hurt their friendship.

•The McMahons and cronies are shown in the back as Vince tells Shane to take out all of his agression on X-Pac. Shane complains that everything smells like beer as McMahon tells the cronies to get him some coffee.

•Jesse James versus Billy Gunn
*I.C. Title v. Hardcore Title*
-Both men come out by themselves, and the Road Dog goes first. He takes the microphone and says he doesn't like what they are doing, but they will do it his style. As Billy Gunn comes out, the crowd does most of his opening, but when he takes the microphone he unifies himself with the Road Dog and says "it ain't personal". We are told that X-Pac has accepted Shanes challenge as the match begins with Billy Gunn in the advantage. When both men get seperated, neither advances on the attack and each shows professional courtesy/friendship. When Billy gets up after a knockdown, the Road Dog also does not attack and gives him time as well. It continues like this throughout the whole match. As Billy Gunn hit shis legdrop finisher and is knocked out, Goldust, Val Venis, and Al Snow all run out to interfeer. Both men clear the ring as the bell is rung for a disqualification. Each man retains their own title as they each hold their titles out.

•The match is quickly cut off as the cronies are shown getting McMahon his coffee. Brisco notices something as both men say "no, no, no".

•In the backstage area, Patterson and Brisco are shown down on the ground and attacked by the Legion of Doom with Paul Ellering.

•Blue Meanie/Goldust/Ryan Shamrock/Ken Shamrock Problem.
-The Blue Meanie is outside with a shirt saying "Like Mother Like Son" with a picture of Goldust and himself. He calls out Ken Shamrock for a match tonight. Instead of Ken coming out, Ryan comes out taunting the Blue Meanie. Meanie sits down on a steel chair and puts Ryan Shamrock over his lap to spank her. Ken Shamrock immediatley charges the ring as does Goldust. He hits the ankle-lock-submission hold on Goldust as the Blue Meanie levesl Shamrock with a chair. The Blue Meanie, Goldust, and Ryan Shamrock all walk back together.

•At JR's frat party, he has all of the frat chanting his name as he asks where the girls are and it is too bad that he isn't at Raw.

•Sable is shown in the back getting her makeup done and acting like a premadonna.

•More black & white footage is shown of the "Cleveage" house as the Ministry is shown walking in the back and the McMahons are shown training in the back and yelling at the cronies.

•Sable pinned Ivory
-It is explained that Sable's Playboy is the largest selling Playboy in 15 years. She does a quick dance in the middle of the ring as she is facing Ivory who comes down with D'Lo Brown. D'Lo Brown is doing commentary and quicky gives a "shout out" to Sexual Choclate sa a Triple Threat match is announced for the Hardcore title at WreslteMania XV between Billy Gunn, Al Snow, and Hardcore Holly. Terri and Jackie come down to talk with D'Lo and Terri confronts him to say something. He responds by calling her a slut and for taht he got slapped. He then follows Terri around as Ivory alomst gets a pin in the middle of the ring. As Ivory goes for another move into the ropes, Jackie pulls her leg as Sable sets up Ivory for the Sable bomb. She does a little dance and hits it for the pin. As she does another dance, Torrie runs down to fight Sable but quickly gets tied upin the ring ropes. Sable does another great dance just to get kicked directly in the upper chest by Torrie.

•The Rock and Mankind are shown getting ready for their match tonight as the WWF cuts to commercial. After the commercial, Austin is shown in the back getting ready for his match tonight against Paul Wight.

•Mankind defeated The Rock
*Disqualification*
[Winner becomes Special Guest Refreee tonight for Wight/Austin main event.]
-The match is quickly brought to the outside where Mankind dominates with a shot into the steps and an attempted steel chair shot. The Rock picks it up instead, but it is blocked by the referee as the action continues to the announcing tables and suplexes on the floor. As the match goes back into the ring, Foley tries a version of the Corporate elbow, but it is missed as always. The match goes back out to the announcing tables as the Rock delivers a single shot and then takes Michael Cole's headset to speak. Foley immediatley attacks and brings the match back into the ring where he gets leveled by a clothesline. We learn that the IC title match at WrestleMania XV is set as well in a four way match between the Road Dog, Ken Shamrock, Val Venis, and Goldust as the Rock hits a dynamic DDT on Mankind and the referee gets knocked out. Mankind hits a double-arm-DDT and covers for the pin, except the referee is not there to count. Foley then pulls out Socko as Paul Wight makes his way down to the ring. Foley clocks Paul Wight but gets chokeslammed as the referee calls a disqualification and Foley wins.

•Paul Wight is shown in the back having a fit and throwing things as Ausitn is shown pacing in his dressing room.

•Kane versus Goldust?, Triple H attacks Kane.
-We are told that Kane versus Triple H has been added to WrestleMania XV as he faces Goldust tonight. Instead of Goldust being in the costume, it is Triple H instead who blasts Kane with a flame thrower and begins to attack him in the corner while he throws off all referees.

•Holly & Dr. Death brawl in Frat House.
-Jim Ross is showin having fun with the frat boys and interviews a few as Hardcore Holly walks in saying he will mess up the party. Dr Death immediatley attacks him as both men smash a fish tank and continue to fight throughout the frat house. The men walk their way through the hallway and into the kitchen using paddles shower curtains etcetra along the way. They then break a door and continue to brawl as the cameras begin to go out with Hardcore Holly dominating, but they come back. Dr. Death goes into the freezer and finds some frozen vegedables to attack Holly with, but instead Holly knocks over the firge with Dr. Death. The camera finally goes off.

•Mankind is shown in the back telling Austin he will call it in his favor, but he tells him to say out of his business.

•X-Pac versus Shane McMahon
*Greenwich Street Fight*
-As X-Pac attacks Shane McMahon, the "Greenwich Possee" attacks X-Pac from their black and red corvetes and quickly run into the two cars and drive off.

•The Undertaker is shown in the back rolling his eyes as the WWF cuts to commercial.

•Ken Shamrock/Big Boss Man/Test versus Undertaker/Acolytes
-As Ken Shamrock and Test take the Acolytes to the outside, the Big Boss Man waits for the Undertaker. He immediatley takes the advantage, but is quickly put down by the Undertakers quick and high-flying maneuvers. The Acolytes are fighting on the outside with steps and poles as the Undertaker and Bossman wail away on each other. Both men travel into the crowd where we can not see them as the lights go out with no sound except for the crowd. The WWF leaves us there and goes to commercial.

•Vince McMahon Interview.
-McMahon comes out with a mad look on his face in a suit top and pants only, with nothing underneath. He says that since the fans appreciate what Austin did to him so much, he will shot it again and demands it being played on the Titantron. He says that he hopes Austin enjoyed that because he is going to hate what he is about to experiance. McMahon announces that the Rock will do commentary for the match at ringside and invites him into the ring along with Paul Wight.

•Steve Austin pinned Paul Wight
[Mankind is the special guest referee as the Rock does commentary at ringside.]
-As Austin gets to the ring, he chases McMahon around it about half way and says forget it and goes into the ring. Both men change the sway of the match greatly as Foley plays a good referee. When both men are on the outside of the ring, Mankind attacks Paul Wight. Wight threatens him inside the ring as Austin exposes a turnbuckle. He misses throwing Wight into the turnbuckle, and when he tries for a stunner, he gets thrown directly into it. Austin goes for another stunner, but is quickly lifted up by Paul Wight and dropped. Wight attempts and succedes on many "pick up high" maneuvers on the outside of the ring as Austin tries for momentum but is denied. When Foley uses a chair to get both men back into the ring, Wight hits a bear hug which Austin gets out of only to be put into another. Austin takes down Wight with a direct jump on him and when a pin attempt is tried for he gets thrown off with force. Austin picks up a chair and hits wight with it at least 10 times and he does not fall down. He then hits the stunner for the pin with the Corporation in awe. Wight quickly attacks Mankind and throws him outside to follow him as the Rock and Austin brawl inside of the ring. Austin recieves a Rock Bottom as the Rock celebrates on the top rope and Raw is War goes off the air.

SUNDAY NIGHT HEAT #34 - "RAGE PARTY":

avrei voluto essere a WM15 anche solo per sentire isaac hayes che prima del PPV canta chocolate salty balls

[Mannu]

SUNDAY NIGHT HEAT
RATING: 4.7

We start with Heat, which is opened by Vince McMahon and Paul Wight. The crowd is pumped- the asshole chant is loud, and in-sync. Vince says he doesn't appreciate the chant. But isn't that the idea? "Some have hoped, dreamed, eve prayed for Stone Cold Steve Austin to become the champ. It sounds like most of you are in for a major disappointment. There is a new provision in the championship match: there is no disqualification. The Rock, as champ, is quite frankly, the better man. And with the chair shots, SCSA has awakened a sleeping giant... you're looking at the man who will referee the match."

Paul Wight takes the mic, and gets a loud "Giant sucks" chant. "Mrs Foley, that man who left your house-- I want you to remember wgat ge looks like because what I'm sending back won't look like what left. Mankind, rumour has it you like pain-- you fall off cages, you play with thumbtacks, get thrown through stages...then you're going to love tonight. I'm a lawnmower, I'll mow you down to do my job; to protect the WWF championship belt- I'll do my job with extreme prejudice. And about the rattlesnake- I don't fear snakes, I like them. I like to clip tails, make keychains... skin them alive and make my boots. You're the toughest sob in the WWF? Well, tonight, you'll be on my time. I'll find out if you're the toughest SOB or if it's just a clever way to sell t-shirts. I'll put a chair by the backdoor and when you come in, I'll be on. Then I'll take your carcass, throw it in the ring, and count as the Rock wins 1-2-3. That's not the bottom line; that's the last word."
McMahon: "You might be asking yourself what the chances are of Austin becoming the next WWF champion. The answer is no chance in hell."

Vince is backstage and he's asking Wight something, I think asking him not to decimate Austin before Wrestlemania.

Ivory (with D'Lo) vs Jackie (with Terri)
D'Lo disappears and Terri does commentary. God, I love Ivory. I also love Jackie. This match was a plesant surprise. IT was a quick match, but they both did some actual moves, so it gets points in my book. Jackie gets the win, and Terri comes in the ring in order to burn Ivory with her cigar. *shrug* D'Lo wasn't there to help her, but Tori came down to help her, which cleared the ring.

DX is arriving backstage, all together.

The Greenwich Posse is sitting in the front row. Those guys are cool, I'll tell you that much.

Paul Wight is staring at the door of the arena, waiting for Austin. he has a scary look on his face.

DX comes to the ring.
HHH: Let's get down to business. Kane, if you want to play with matches, think of last week- I proved who has the biggest flame. Punches or fire? You get in my battle field tonight and you go down in a blaze of glory.
Road Dogg-"I'll make this short and sweet. I have to fight a nut, a slut, and Shamrock, with his head up his butt... it's like a Steve Guttenberg vehicle, instead of three men and a baby, it's three men and a DOGG. Welcome to my dogg house, here we do it doggy style."
Billy Gunn: "You think you have it bad? I have to fight Mr. Rogers and a goof who talks to a head. I'm fixing to unload a lot of bad ass on you, and it will be long, hard, and nasty."
XPac- "Shane may be the bosses son, but tonight, you'll pay your dues... I'm through talking: tonight, your ass is grass and I'm smoking it."
Backstage, Lucas interviews the champ. I have to turn my tv off because there is some sort of system overload with the cable company, and they have to reset my box in order for me to receive Wrestlemania. Fun. So I have no idea what the Rock said. Probably, the Smack Down hotel, jabroni, and laying the smack down were all mentioned, though.
Jeff Jarrett, Owen Hart and Debra come out to do commentary. The battle royal for the right to compete against them for the tag titles begins. Apparently, the booker was on crack, since it's not actually a tag team battle royal, but rather a "last two men standing are the tag team they will face" battle royal. The participants? Mostly midcarders and jobbers. This is the order of elimination: both of the Public Enemy (whole ring ganged up on them), Viscera, Gillberg, Animal, 8Ball, Hawk, Scott Taylor, Skull, Faarooq, Tiger Ali Singh, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Midian, Brian Christopher, Bradshaw, Steve Blackman, Godfather, Droz. The final two standing were Test and D'lo, who continued to fight each other. Jarrett/Hart did a run in. And one of the most pointless aspects of the whole night came to fruition: teaming D'Lo and Test.
Paul Wight is still waiting for Austin.
Bossman is interviewed by Cole. He says he's been in a cell longer than Undertaker has been on earth, and that it's home for him, and he's going to make Undertaker live up to the dead man name. It becomes dark... Undertaker's voice over comes on. Brood's music plays and they give Bossman a bloodbath. Cole gets off one of the funniest (unintentionally so) lines of the night: In the darknes, "What are they doing to the Bossman?")
Wight starts throwing things backstage.
Austin/Rock video.
Mankind backstage: asks Paul Wight if the stripes of his shirt make him look thinner...Wight says something, Mankind tells him "Queers are deaf." they start fighting. Austin walks in right behind them.







WRESTLEMANIA 15
BUYRATE: 800.000

Boys To Men sing the National Anthem.

Al Snow vs Bob Holly vs Billy Gunn (Hardcore Title)
Well, Al Snow dominates the match- both in hit counts and in bump counts. The man does it all and saves both Bobby and Billy from looking like idiots in a hardcore match. Weapons of choice tonight: A hockey stick, a broomstick, and a tray of ice. The obligatory chair and table as well. And of course, head. The match is good: Al does everything textbook. Finally, Billy lands a "fameasser" (Who the hell came up with that one?) on Al (on a chair) but Holly hits Billy with a chair and gets the pin, therefore the belt. Talk about a sick joke- that was Al Snow's belt all the way. Boo. Hiss. Still, it was a good enough match.

Jeff Jarrett/Owen Hart (with Debra) vs D'Lo Brown/Test (With Ivory) (Tag titles)
Test still has yet to impress me. This match was no different. he's just an overgrown lug of a guy. Debra and Ivory have their confrontation, meanwhile, D'Lo is getting double teamed in the ring. Test is off doing whatever it is Test does. PMS come out... D'Lo is still being double teamed, and gets pinned, thanks to the distraction IVory/PMS causes. Test starts fighting with Ivory, she's yelling, D'Lo comes and hits Test. No one's happy, and the champs retain their belts. Wasn't there a team they could have faced? (cough) Brood (cough) BROOD.

Butterbean vs Bart Gunn (Brawl for All)
What's that sound? Well, aside from the sound of Bart hitting the mat in almost no time flat, that's the sound of someone's gimmick falling apart at the seams. Oops, sorry, slugger, you go your ass knocked down. Someone should have seen it coming: Sure, Gunn can knock out people who don't know how to box. But could he knock out a boxer? I don't even think he got a punch in. Quick as lightning. Poor Bart.

A chicken comes to the ring and riles the referee (VInny Panzienza) who hits him. *shrug*

Mankind interview: "I did everything that was asked of me. I fought the Undertaker and beat him. I was asked to fight Austin, and even wuth the questionable outcome, I beat Stone Cold. I tried playing nice, Big Show, and now you're going to see an angry young man. So try, try to have a nice day."

Mankind vs Paul Wight
Well, not a bad match. I think it's obvious that Mankind isn't 100%, though I was happy to see the rumour of him topping the King Of the Ring bump wasn't true. No one wants to see Foley endanger his life in the ring. Mankind gets the mandible claw on Wight three times, and almost gets him out the third. In order to hold the big guy down, and to apply the pressure of the claw, he gets behind him. This leads to Wight picking him up and throwing his entire girth onto Mankind. Unappealing thought. The ref is trying to control the match: Wight sets up two chairs and chokeslams Mankind through them. he was warned, and is thus, disqualified. Mankind wins, and he's the special ref for the main event.

Vince comes out-- he yells at the ref for not controlling Wight. And then jumps on Wight's case for screwing up. "What are you doing? Do you realise what you have done? I was counting on you... Don't look away from me. I'm Vince McMahon. You're a nobody." He almost gets chokeslammed, but Wight thinks better of it. Vince yells at him some more and then hits him. McMahon is flat out from a punch in 30 seconds.

Backstage, McMahon tells the stooges to get the cops, because he wants Wight arrested for assault.

Road Dogg vs Val Venis vs Goldust (With Meanie and Ryan Shamrock) vs Shamrock (intercontinental title)
This is a 4 corners elimination match.
Val tells the ladies not to worry, because even the intercontinental belt won't keep his pants up. Suprisingly, this is a good match. Now, I'm partial: Any time Road Dogg or Blue Meanie are on my screen, I'm a happy camper. Meanie was playing up the cute "Goldust's son" role really well. Road Dogg was working the match well. Everyone put a lot into this one. A lot of near falls for everyone. Val and Kenny fought outside the ring and got counted out at the same time. This put Ken into the zone, and he attacked both Goldust and Road Dogg before leaving the ring. Ryan Shamrock accidentially pulled Goldust's leg, though, and Road Dogg got the pin and win. Meanie and Goldust then yelled at Shamorck and sent her away, as the two of them walked off together. Road Dogg is still the intercontinental champion. I say yay.

Paul Wight is arrested backstage.

Kane vs HHH
The chicken comes out again, to attack Kane. Kane pulls the head off, and it's Pete Rose, who gets another tombstone. I found this to be one of the funniest things I have seen in a while. Clever.

Talk about a surprise: this, too, was a hell of a match. Kane really turned it up a notch, and he was taking a bunch of small bumps, as well as using the ropes a lot. Both were being pretty brutal, and it paid off. Solid performance here. Chyna comes out, and she puts the steps in the ring. Kane is bounced off them. Kane chokeslams HHH. Chyna comes with a chair, and asks to use it on HHH. Kane obliges, and she hits Kane with it. HHH gets the chair, pedigrees Kane on the chair and gets the win. Chyna jumps into HHH's arms, and they're reunited. As cool as I found this, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Kane, who is probably the most sympathetic character in the whole WWF stable.

who will be the ref in the main event? With Wight arrested and Mankind in the hospital... McMahon comes and says he has the best referee shirt in his athletic bag, and that he will be the guest referee for the match.

Sable vs Tori (Women's championship)
Well, as I knew, Tori could carry this match to something almost decent. Sable still has no business in the ring, though, and really should have dropped that belt. Still, it warms my heart she didn't win it on her own: Nicole Bass debuted, and took Tori out for the resident "I don't deserve this belt at all" champion, who kept the belt in one of the lowest points and biggest travesties of the night. Some of us like women's wrestling. Why aren't we getting some? Boo. Hiss. Sable.

DX interview: All back together. yay!

XPac vs Shane McMahon(with Test) (European Championship)
As XPac comes down the aisle, the stooges try to take him out, but he doesn't let them get away with it. The match isn't that great: I thought Shane had a lot more potential, and he didn't really show it in this match. Lots of interference from Test, not enough from the Greenwich Posse. Still, they grabbed XPac and he knocked them all down. There are some beatings with a belt in the ring. XPac gets crotch damage a couple of times, as does Shane. Lots of Bronco Busters.
HHH and Chyna come out as Xpac lands the XFactor. Chyna distracts he ref when XPac goes for the pin. HHH pedigrees XPac and puts Shane on him for the pin, which he gets. HHH and Test start beating on XPac, while Chyna holds onto Shane. New Age Outlaws come out-- HHH and Test go after them. Kane comes out and clears the ring of team corporate. Road Dogg lets us all know that HHH is a jackoff. Apparently, he and Chyna are corporate. And this is the end of DX as we know it. *sigh* there goes my favourite stable.

Undertaker (with Paul Bearer) vs Bossman (Hell in The Cell)
Hell in the Cell matches are legendary, thanks to Shawn Michaels and Mick Foley. I don't think many people had high hopes for this match, and it didn't live up to prior HITC matches. I'm sure both guys worked hard; but let's be honest-- Bossman is no Foley, nor is he a Michaels. Both men bladed. there were some stiff punches, lots of throwing into the cage. All is said and done, though, the crowd seemed bored with the whole thing. i was bored. I don't know what to say, I just wanted something spectacular. After all, the cell was involved. Undertaker tombstoned Bossman, and the Brood came down from the ceiling. They tore through the top of the cell and lowered a noose down. Undertaker then wrapped it around Bossman. Brood left as they came in, and Paul Bearer raised the cage, with a hung Bossman. Is he supposed to be dead? We'll see. Funny note: Michael Cole talking about people getting their fingers stuck in the Cell. I was making jokes before Lawler was.

Rage Party video. Not much wrestling action at said party, was there?

Video for the main event.

Vince comes out as ref. But wait- it's the Heart Break Kid- Shawn Michaels! Yay! He tells Vince to read the rule book, and that he's theonly one who can appoint a referee for a match. Shawn kicks Vince out of the ring and bans the Coporation from ringside for the main event. A regular ref is appointed, and we have

The Rock vs Austin (World title)
This was a really solid match: lots of fighting outside the ring and in the crowd. Rocky ws working Austin's bad knee some. There was an interesting "let's keep knocking the refs out" deal going on. Vince came to the ring at one point, got in and started beating on Austin. Mankind appeared, put a stop to that, and became the ref. Prior to this, there were a few near falls for Austin and the Rock... But Austin landed the stunner for the 3 count, and there is a new champion. McMahon was devastated. Rock was mad. Austin was probably drunk, since he was in the ring with beer for a good long while. He did the 4 corners. Shared a beer with Earl hebner. Attacked and stunned Vince, then dumped some beer on him as well.

NEW WWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION


"STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN




NEW WWF HARDCORE CHAMPION


HARDCORE HOLLY

[Jolly]

Finito di vedere l'ultimo raw prima di 'Mania.
Abbastanza una roba brutta.
La card del PPW è una roba brutta, che diventa indecente se si pensa che è la card di WrestleMania.
Di match interessanti c'è ne forse due, più forse il match per il titolo hardcore, che però rimane il match per il titolo hardcore.
Foley senza match fa ridere ma a costo di passare per il criticone, è l'ultimo mese che proprio ha preso una sterzata incomprensibile.
A me Austin-Rock interessa il giusto, perché comunque sono Austin e Rock. Ma dietro c'è veramente poco.

[gigietto79]

il match per il titolo di coppia messo su a caso è da criminali

[Mannu]

il match per il titolo di coppia messo su a caso è da criminali

Peggio.

[Jolly]

Io sono al ME.
Per ora mi pare di vedere una puntata di quattro ore di Raw.
Ma è vera questa storia di Foly infortunato? E perché non hanno avuto la decenza di costruirgli un match come si deve?

[Darth_Dario]

Se guardo solo il ME sono una brutta persona?

Ah, lo swerve dei titoli invertiti ai New Age Outlaws è una cazzata bella e buona.

eh, magari
almeno avresti avuto interviste, angle e soprattutto non avresti avuto un pubblico di cadaveri
