batista  just go away

when vince was saying 'the animal' i was expecting 'greg steele' haha

i can see them ending legacy at summerslam with something like orton v HHH v Batista(if he's over his injury) with flair as a special guest referee and maybe legacy costing him the title.

the miz v cena was slightly better, at least they didn't make miz look a complete joke this time.

can't complain about the 3 new guys. i've heard good things about even bourne and i like jack swagger for his amatuer mat style. not so keen on mark henry but if he plays a fun character it should be ok.


also the stage being reversed annoyed me all night for some reason [8D]

Moving to the Raw roster:
Gail Kim
Alicia Fox
Jack Swagger
Evan Bourne
Mark Henry

Moving to the SmackDown roster:
Matt Hardy
Finlay
The Hart Dynasty - David Hart Smith, Tyson Kidd & Natalya

Moving to the ECW roster:
Shelton Benjamin
Goldust
William Regal
Brie & Nikki Bella

No move for Christian...

Moving to the Raw roster:
Gail Kim - No one will care
Alicia Fox -No one will care
Jack Swagger - Good move for him. Freshens up the ME Scene a bit
Evan Bourne - Will get lost at RAW I feel.
Mark Henry - See Jack Swagger

Moving to the SmackDown roster:
Matt Hardy - Seems pointless after moving to RAW just 2? months ago.
Finlay - Should of left him on ECW and kept him helping out the up and comers.
The Hart Dynasty - David Hart Smith, Tyson Kidd & Natalya - Would be better up against Legacy as a "who's the real Legacy" storyline. Maybe the tag team rivals to Rated Y2R.

Moving to the ECW roster:
Shelton Benjamin - well he'l finally get a ME shot, and ME belt, but what a waste :( Also breaks up another tag team.
Goldust - Will work I guess. Poor Honswoggle though.......
William Regal - Again, go straight into the ME scene on ECW. Good move for him. Maybe one last title reign before he hands up his belt. Thing is, with Dreamer, Finlay, Goldust and Regal, I feel bad for Christian. It's like a retirement home/creche with Christian standing out like a sore thumb.
Brie & Nikki Bella - See Matt Hardy but also Gail Kim/ Alicia Fox

No move for Christian...

 
That genuine mate? Well thats my thoughts on it!

It felt like I was watching RAW in a mirror image or something... Messed with my head slightly!

In regards to the trade...

Just when I thought SmackDown! couldn't get any better, they get The Hart Dynasty and Matt Hardy. Great promotion for Dynasty, and I'm so glad Hardy escaped RAW. Hopefully Natalya gets some matches with Melina, those two should be able to work some great bouts together. Same goes with Gail Kim and Beth Phoenix over on RAW.

I was surprised to see Bourne on RAW, and I hope it works out for the guy... Fully expected Kendrick to go to ECW. Maybe Bourne and Kendrick will have a feud on RAW? Or am I in dreamland here?

Not surprised to see Benjamin go, to be honest. He's been pretty directionless over on SmackDown!. Hopefully he'll get a program with Christian, they'd be able to work some magic together.

It's sad for the new talent to lose Finlay over on ECW, but they do get Regal who would be a great guy to learn from, I think. Plus, that means we now have 3 English wrestlers on ECW - Regal, Katie Lea and Paul Burchill... British faction, anyone? I can dream!

ORIGINAL: Bloodwork88

Moving to the Raw roster:
Gail Kim- Not fussed
Alicia Fox- Not fussed
Jack Swagger- yay he can get his ass kicked even more now  He is no way near ME Material
Evan Bourne- This gives him more competition and I think he should do well if WWE gives him the push there
Mark Henry- Most likely goin to be used as ME Material

Moving to the SmackDown roster:
Matt Hardy- Looks like the fued with Jeff could continue now
Finlay- Dunno what could happen with him
The Hart Dynasty - David Hart Smith, Tyson Kidd & Natalya- A new fresh faction for SD should be gd

Moving to the ECW roster:
Shelton Benjamin- Boring.....
Goldust- Dunno what to say
William Regal- He could work well in ECW
Brie & Nikki Bella- Who gives a flying **** about them

No move for Christian...

 
Here's my thoughts in the quote

i was a little shocked at benjemin being sent to ECW, i know he wasn't doing much on smackdown but i'd have sent him to raw to fued with someone and liven things up a bit. benjemin v kofi US title fued would have been entertaining for a while.

My thoughts exactly Rich! Rest of the draft is pretty meh I thought. Although, from reading the Raw reuslts, does this mean a Legacy spot for Swagger? I know hes not second generation but the way he refused to fight Orton and said he wanted to make an impression on him, says to me that he wants in at least. Whether or not he'll get in is another matter. Also, can anyone who actually watched Raw tell me what Orton's reaction to Swagger was? My Raw report I read was pretty vague.
 
On the bad side of Raw - HHH vs Cena for the chance to face Orton? Snooooooze! Get some new fecking opponents for him for gods sake! And wtf is up with him jobbing to Mark Henry??? WWE seems to like having their World champs lose non-title matches at the moment

I was really expecting the hart dynasty to come out and attack henry last night and be the last two picks.

They will fit in on smackdown nicely though and hopefully Natalya will get to wrestle again.

As far as I remember, Orton was slightly surprised at Swagger counting himself out, but he shook Swagger's hand and grinned after Swagger left the ring.

Mark Henry getting the win was hilarious, I just love face Henry. And they were reeeeally selling Orton's injuries from The Bash.

I really hope Cena beats HHH next week, I don't think I could handle HHH/Orton again. [8D]

(WWE) **SPOILERS** WWE RAW Taping Results For Next Week Headline Posted by Andy Stephen on 06:54:00 AM Jun 30, 2009

Due to overseas tour plans, WWE taped next Monday's edition of WWE RAW at tonight's show. As was hyped Monday, the event includes John Cena vs. Triple H in the finals of the tournament for a shot at Randy Orton's WWE Championship and Ted DiBiase as the guest host.

-- Ted DiBiase, Sr. opens the show with accompaniment from Cody Rhodes and his son. DiBiase orders a Night of Champions match; Edge and Chris Jericho will defend the Unified Tag Championship against Rhodes and DiBiase, Jr. He also announces Rhodes vs. Mark Henry and Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase, Jr.

-- Edge and Jericho defeated the Colons in a non-title match after taking both champions' finishers--the referee was occupied with Primo as this was going on. Carlito went heel, turning on Primo after the match.

-- Gail Kim and Mickie James defeated Maryse and Alicia Fox.

-- In a segment with DiBiase, Sr. and Rhodes, Rhodes fails to talk his way out of his upcoming match. DiBiase, Sr. also cuts a promo on Dusty Rhodes.

-- Mark Henry defeated Cody Rhodes by count-out.

-- Randy Orton defeated Ted DiBiase with his RKO.

-- A VIP Lounge segment with MVP and Jack Swagger planted the seeds for a feud between the two.

-- Ted DiBiase, Jr. and Ted DiBiase, Sr. argued in a segment, with the younger DiBiase upset about having been put in the match with Orton.

-- Evan Bourne defeated Kofi Kingston in a non-title match. Big Show attacked both of them after the bout.

I think Swagger saying he "wanted to leave an impression" was more along the lines of, he knew who was coming out next? And that Henry would decimate Orton. That was my interpretation of it. Swagger was pretty damn smug about it to (but then again, when isn't he smug). Be interesting to see where they take this, as Swagger definately has the potential to go far. He's a much more athletic heavyweight for starters.

Plenty of ted snr good good. The two arguing does not bode well for my dream of a new money inc though 

I'm glad raw has swagger he could be a big main event player in years to come, I read a column the other week saying he could be the next kurt angle and I don't think they are far off with that, hes a legit wrestler he can talk and he has that charisma to succeed, not to mention he is supported big time by Jim Ross who even though is not the talent guy anymore will still have a fair bit of sway backstage.

On another report is says Teddy Jr slaps daddy in the face.

If Swagger joins legacy, could there be heat between him and Dibiase, which will coincide with his push/face turn?

Ted Snr did say he was training to get back in the ring earlier this year maybe with him cutting a dusty promo a dusty and ted vs legacy match? or of course IRS is a ring agent

Hmm next week's Raw looks interesting, they're really leaving us guessing with the Ted turn - his dad puts him in a match with Orton, which you would think he would be happy about, but he's actually pissed off? I'm liking how unpredictable it is, Raw is usually so obvious. Although the Triple Threat at Night of Champions was pretty damn obvious.
 
Not so sure about Swagger and Legacy now if he's feuding with MVP. Guess I jumped the gun a bit lol.
 
I may have to stay out of this section soon, they are taping 2 eps of Smackdown tonight and I'm enjoying watching SD at the mo without knowing what's gonna happen  Unless you nice peeps fancy black-texting any SD spoilers?

Michael Cole is such a pr*ck....last night when Orton RKO'd Evan Bourne off the top rope.


"Woah, running bulldog from the top" what the hell is that guy doing at the announcers desk, idiot.

I've just noticed that King also bloody said it after....what in the name of christ.

Heres the video, its about 15 seconds in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmetKlaXNh8

Fucks sake. That better not mean that they split up the Colons.

And indeed this Ted Dibiase Jr turn is really odd at the moment, I think it'll probably happen before NOC though.
